How to Connect
Becoming a Global Health Major
How to Declare
Sophomores can declare a major by completing the Long Range Plan and submitting it to the Academic Advising Center. You can declare your major any time during your sophomore year, but no later than the Friday of Spring Break.
- Upon declaring the Global Health major, all students will receive a welcome email from the Global Health Central team and an entrance questionnaire to complete. Students are then required to meet with the Global Health Central team to discuss their long-range plan and academic schedule to graduation.
Choosing a Focused Study Theme
Students no longer have to declare a focused study theme with specific courses approved in advance. Instead, just choose three electives from a preapproved list. That's all! There's no form to submit.
Study Abroad
Planning in advance is important to the success of any study abroad experience. Global Health and Global Education Office (GEO) staff are available to advise students in planning their coursework and study abroad experience. Interested students should contact firstname.lastname@example.com for an advising session, so that they can learn how to make their global health and study abroad experience a success.
Courses taken during study abroad must receive approval through GEO in advance of starting the program. The Course Approval Database offers a list of courses approved for global health transfer. Courses not already approved on the database must receive pre-approval. Students pursuing transfer credit should be prepared to provide the course syllabus.
Please note that global health majors may not use transfer credit to fulfill the three Core course requirements (Fundamentals, Ethics, and Research Methods). However, Core courses taken through the Duke in Sri Lanka or Duke Kunshan University programs, will satisfy major requirements.
Transfer Credit
Students may use up to three transfer credits toward their global health major and up to two elective transfer credits toward their global health minor. Additional courses completed in study abroad will count toward a student's overall credit requirement and, possibly, requirements in their non-global health major or other minors or certificate programs.
Check with university transfer credit policy in advance of pursuing credit for courses not taken at Duke University.
Independent Study and Research
Independent study enables a student to pursue a research or other academic topic of interest under the supervision of a faculty member for course credit. Independent studies fall under two categories: independent study (non-research) and research independent study.
Up to one research independent study may count towards global health major and minor course requirements. A non-research independent study will not count toward global health requirements. All global health research independent study applications must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies. In order to enroll in a research independent study, students must have completed their core course requirements
- Identify an area of interest and faculty advisor
- Review policies, procedures and approval forms for both independent studies
- Complete the global health independent study application form by 12pm on the last day of drop/add
- Receive notice on DUS approval via email, along with course and permission numbers
- Enroll in either GLHLTH 391 (study) or GLHLTH 393 (research) for the semester of your project
- See here for a sample application.
Please note that Trinity College policy states that students may not receive academic credit for work (e.g., in a lab, an internship, etc.) for which they receive monetary compensation.
Independent Study Grants
The Undergraduate Research Support (URS) office offers grants to help defray research expenses of up to $400 for Trinity and Pratt students enrolled in faculty-supervised independent study courses or the equivalent, such as thesis and research capstone courses. Grant funds may purchase approved supplies and equipment (which become the property of the University) for the research project.
Graduation with Distinction
Students majoring in global health may pursue the following tracks leading to graduation with distinction:
- Graduation with distinction in global health
- Graduation with distinction in global health and the non-global health major through a double honors thesis
- Graduation with distinction in the non-global health major
Students interested in graduating with distinction in global health are encouraged to pursue a double honors thesis, as this will give you an opportunity to integrate what you have learned in your two majors. Students earning double honors will have both distinctions indicated on their transcript and their names will appear in both programs' entries on the Commencement program.
- Identify a research question and faculty advisor
- Review policies, procedures and approval forms
- Review Global Health FAQ
- Complete the global health graduation with distinction form by the last day of drop/add the fall semester of senior year
- Submit signed and completed form to email@example.com
- Receive notice on DUS approval via email, along with more detailed timeline and writing resources from the GH Education Team.

Cupcakes are one of the easiest cooking recipes for kids around, and they're almost foolproof, so they'll empower your children and give them a sense of achievement and satisfaction. Cupcakes are also great for getting your kids' creative juices flowing � supply them with plenty of food coloring and toppings, and watch them mix and match colors and create culinary works of art fit for photographing.
Need cooking ideas for kids? The answer cupcakes. Whether you're young or young at heart, cupcakes are universally loved. What's not to love? They're light, they're flurry, and they're smeared with deliciously creamy, sweet icing in all manner of delightful flavors. They look gorgeous, too whether it's chocolate sprinkles, crushed nuts, M&Ms, or a smiley face, cupcake frostings just make you happy. The best thing is, cupcakes are super easy to make, so they're perfect for cooking with children.
To make an easy children's cooking vanilla cupcake, you'll need:
1 1/2 cups of self-rising flour
1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) of butter
2 cups of white sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two muffin trays with cupcake cases. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, then beat in the eggs gradually. Then, add the dry ingredients gradually, along with the milk and vanilla. Spoon the batter into the cupcake cases, bake for about 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean, and then allow them to cool on a wire rack.
Next, the fun part � icing. This is where cooking with children gets interesting! Prepare a basic vanilla butter icing by combining, in an electric mixer:
1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter
6 to 8 cups of confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup of milk
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
Add all ingredients gradually. Once your icing is done, your kids can go wild with jazzing up the icing to make their cupcakes look dazzling.
Fill other bowls with plenty of different toppings, such as chocolate sprinkles, M&Ms, rainbow colored sprinkles, jellies, rice crispies, and glazed cherries, and watch your little ones decorate their iced cupcakes with smiley faces, fairies, Martians, rainbows � and more abstract images!
Cooking with children is never just about baking � it's about developing confidence, creativity, and life skills. Always teach your kids the importance of cleaning up after cooking; show them that it can be fun by singing a cleaning up song, and always tell them how much you appreciate their help.
Divide up the icing into five or so small bowls and show your kids how to add a drop of food coloring to each bowl to turn white icing into pink, green, blue, and yellow icing. When you're cooking with children, every step in the process is an opportunity to educate � show your kids how a drop of yellow food dye and a drop of red food dye will make orange icing! It's an art class and a cooking class in one.

How Can I Upgrade to USB 2.0 on My Laptop?
Q: I have an old laptop that supports only USB 1.1. Is it possible to change it to USB 2.0 without changing the hardware? Gordon Yuen
A: USB support in most laptops is through the motherboard chipset, and there's usually no way to modify or upgrade the motherboard in most laptops. But assuming your laptop has a PC Card (or the older PCMCIA) slot, you can add a USB 2.0 card (available for around $40 from most computer stores). Some have as many as four USB 2.0 ports. A bonus is that the USB ports on a PC Card will be powered USB ports.

Using amnesties in conflict and transition - new guidelines published
25 October 2013
New guidelines to help balance the competing demands for amnesty and accountability in conflicts and political transitions have been published today. The Belfast Guidelines on Amnesty and Accountability set out a framework to evaluate the legality and legitimacy of amnesties in accordance with the multiple legal obligations faced by states undergoing conflict or political transition.
Debates over who should be held accountable for international crimes and human rights violations are often among the most bitterly contested issues in conflicts and transitions. Although they have a long history in international law and policy of being used as tools to promote peace and reconciliation and to protect human rights, the use of amnesties has become increasingly controversial in recent years where they are viewed as conflicting with states' duty to prosecute. Despite this, there has not been a reduction in the use of amnesties, and their potential role in ending conflict, promoting reconciliation and facilitating truth recovery is currently the subject of debate in many states including Syria, Colombia, Georgia, Uganda, Northern Ireland and Spain.
Important and practical resource
The Belfast Guidelines will be an important practical resource for international and national policymakers, civil society activists, and lawyers who are involved in brokering or implementing peace agreements, They have been written by a group of international human rights and conflict resolution experts led by Louise Mallinder and Tom Hadden at the University of Ulster's Transitional Justice Institute and funded by the Nuffield Foundation. The group includes several former truth commissioners, a UN special rapporteur and the former head of legal codification at the United Nations, as well as leading scholars and civil society activists.
The recommendations draw on a wide range of evidence including international treaties, the case law of international courts, United Nations declarations, peace agreements, national amnesty legislation and the case law of national courts.
Louise Mallinder, one of the project's leaders said: "We are calling for the Belfast Guidelines to be adopted into international practice, to ensure that amnesties are made more compliant with international law."
The Belfast Guidelines have been translated into Arabic, French, Mandarin, Russian and Spanish. They will be sent to over 300 leaders in intergovernmental institutions, government departments of donor, mediator or transitional states, and to human rights and peacebuilding organisations.
Key findings and recommendations include:
- During or after conflicts, states have multiple legal obligations to ensure the violations are properly investigated, prosecute those responsible, provide a remedy to victims, prevent continuing abuses, and ensure respect for human rights in the future. The Guidelines recommend that states should seek to ensure fulfilment these obligations and where they conflict, efforts should be made to balance completing obligations
- Prosecution and punishment are not the only forms of accountability; amnesties can be used to facilitate selective prosecution strategies, or made conditional on participation in truth commissions, public inquiries, restorative justice, and reparations.
- It is important to distinguish between illegitimate and legitimate amnesties: amnesties that are unconditional, prevent investigations and ensure impunity for those most responsible for serious crimes are generally illegitimate; amnesties designed primarily to ensure sustainable protection of human rights, and require offenders to engage with measures to ensure truth, accountability and reparations are more likely to be legitimate.
- Acts that qualify for amnesty should be clearly specified and limited in scope to minimise the potential for conflict with any obligation under international law.
- Special attention should be paid to the treatment of children responsible for acts that may qualify as crimes.
- To ensure transparency and legitimacy, there should be public engagement in the design of an amnesty process, and steps should be taken to ensure victims can participate in decisions to grant amnesty in individual cases.
- Formal and independent procedures should be established to review or adjudicate compliance with amnesty conditions.
- Where a conditional amnesty is revoked, prosecutions should be pursued for the original crime and any subsequent offences.
- Where an amnesty bars civil liability, administrative programmes should be considered to provide reparations and remedies for victims.

Lincoln: A listless display by India 'A' allowed New Zealand 'A' to win the third and final unofficial ODI by 65 runs and square the three-match series 1-1 here on Sunday.
The Indian boys won the first match and the second ended in a tie.
For the second successive game, the India 'A' middle order faltered and they were bowled out for 163 in 42.1 overs, after the hosts rode on Daniel Flynn, Neil Broom and Derek de Boorder's half centuries to post 228 for eight in 50 overs at the at Bert Sutcliffe Oval.
Medium pacer R Vinay Kumar emerged as the best Indian bowler, returning figures of three for 36, while Shami Ahmed bagged two for 39.
There was a wicket each for Jaydev Unadkat and Ashok Menaria.
The Indian chase was steady to start to start with as Unmukt Chand and skipper Abhinav Mukund added 46 runs for the first wicket in 12.1 overs.
But barring Chand, who compiled 46 off 76 balls and, to an extent Menaria (30 off 24), Indian batsmen lacked the willingness to fight it out against the in-form New Zealand bowlers.
Even Chand and Menaria failed to make use of the starts they got.
Chand showed intent, hitting seven fours and a six, but his dismissal to Trent Boult triggered a mini collapse as the visitors lost three wickets for ten runs.
Left-arm seamer Neil Wagner was the wrecker in chief as he picked up four wickets for 36 runs. Legspinner Tarun Nethula chipped in with three for 46, while there were two for Boult.

Storage is hot -- Who knew?
Editor's note: Welcome to our weekly column penned by storage community leaders. The opinions expressed here are not necessarily those of SearchStorage.com. Got your own opinion about storage service? Interact with your peers here.
What I want to know is when did storage go from watching grass grow to a hot commodity, right up there with skydiving and celebrity gossip? "When I first got transferred to the storage group 20 years ago," one ex-IBMer told me, "I thought to myself, 'What did I do to deserve this?'"
I think that's because average everyday people are using more and more storage, and are struggling with the same problems that you, dear SearchStorage reader, have been shackled with for years: backup, ever-growing capacity requirements and data migration, to name a few.
Get this. There's a dad in my son's first grade class who has 2 TB of storage capacity in his home. He's a post-doc in neuroscience, and uses that storage to hold MRI images of brains. At his lab, he has another 6 TBs. That's a lot of storage for just one person, albeit a brainiac grad student.
Then the other day I was at the playground chatting with other parents as our kids played. I started talking with one man, who, it turns out, is an individual investor, regulated by the SEC. Not only does he back up his all systems daily using Connected Corp.'s Data Protector service, but he has an Iomega NAS box and scans all incoming documents and saves them off to an optical disk. Again, that's a lot of storage technology for just one guy.
Of course, I've had more conversations than I can count with digital media geeks, mostly music buffs, about how to build a terabyte-plus file server for the home. We discuss the pros and cons of different ATA RAID cards, where to buy the cheapest disk drives, and installing Samba. (Vendors, if you're reading this, there's a huge groundswell of interest among people everywhere for cheap, home-file storage. They may or may not know what NAS is, but they want it. Trust me.)
What's this have to do with you, for whom storage in all its intricacies is old hat? I'm not really sure, but I think it can only be a good thing. Maybe if Joe Schmo can buy a plug-and-play terabyte down at Best Buy to store Tivo'ed Xena episodes, then perhaps the ease of use will trickle upstream to you, the storage professional. Maybe if your boss tried -- and failed -- to back up the images he took with his new digital camera, then he won't balk when you propose that you outsource your company's backup operations. You never know. Would you have believed me 10 years ago if I told you storage would one day be hot?

Cleaning doesn't have to feel like a chore, it can actually be very therapeutic. Deep spring cleaning especially may be something people dread doing, but turn that time into YOU time and maybe you will feel some healing.
Start taking control of your life by taking control of your drawers, closet, desk, beauty space, and computer. Purge your room and work space of dust and dirt while releasing your pent-up emotions. As you dispose or donate things, feel the weight being lifted off your shoulders. Relish in the simplicity of your clean space that makes you feel like you can now do anything. Then, step back and look at what you've done, remember what you own, and feel grateful that you do. Bask in the glory of your hard work. Do this and see how much better you feel compared to before.
Don't know where to start? That's okay. There are so many spring cleaning checklists online that you can print for yourself to help you get started. However, those are more for people who are spring cleaning their entire houses. If you have that responsibility, I'm sorry and good luck to you. Do one room at a time and take your time. However for this article, I'm just going to stick to the basics of the bedroom.
Clean the way you feel will make you the most energetic and content, meaning have something going on in the background o keep you in a good mood. Light up some candles, pour yourself a glass of wine, and play your favorite music. You could also have Netflix or your favorite TV show running, or have a friend over to talk to and to encourage you. Cleaning doesn't have to be done in silence unless that is what calms you.
Before you begin, analyze your area. Survey your space and write down what problem areas you need to take good care of, like your shoes piling up or an overflow of magazines and papers. Take a minute to ask yourself why is that space so messy or cluttered and what can you do to make it better. Really think about what you need, don't need, and what you want to replace. Finding solutions for decluttering may seem difficult but the answers are everywhere. From using shoe boxes and mason jars from around your house to buying organizers for your doors and drawers. Try to get the most of what you have and make it work for you.
Dusting is a big part of spring cleaning and you need to dust everything. Look at your ceiling, are there cobwebs? Check your air vents, are they clotted with dust? When was the last time you checked the blades of your ceiling fan? How about your windows, light fixtures, framed pictures, and mirrors? You get my point. Use glass cleaner on windows and mirrors, use wood cleaners on wood furniture like dressers and nightstands, and use baby wipes on everything else. You can never go wrong with baby wipes, they're so versatile and gentle.
Your floor needs some cleaning too. That means dusting and moping hard floors and vacuuming carpets. Be watchful if you need to spot treat really dirty corners or areas filled with dust or old stains. Get shakin' with that Swiffer.
Check out your desk space. Do you have a lot of unnecessary papers? Recycle them! Take those old tests, notes, magazines, bills, and scraps, and throw them with the recycling. If you have old textbooks, consider selling them online or donating them. Clean out your computer as well, get rid of old files and programs. Reorganize your documents, files, and emails and back them up on a hard-drive, flash drive, or online.
Time to go to bed! Beneath your bed that is. Cleaning beneath your bed may be scary territory but it must be done. Who knows what you have under there. It's time to show some courage and brave this mysterious land. Condense your belongings as best you can, throw out what you no longer use or need and never look back until next spring. Hopefully you will before then anyway.
Washing your bedding is very important because your sheets, pillows, and cases harbor dust, drool, stains, sweat, bacteria, and other bodily fluids I probably shouldn't mention. Take this time to wash your comforter, sheets, mattress cover, pillows, and cases. You should switch your pillow cases often because a dirty pillow case can cause acne breakouts on your face.
You should tackle your closet and dresser drawers either first or last. If you start decluttering while in the middle of doing something else, you'll never get done. Focus on one thing at a time and don't start another task until you're done with the one you're already doing.
This method is probably familiar to you, make separate piles of clothes using garbage bags, boxes or containers. Label or memorize the purpose of each pile, one for trash, one for donation, one for seasonal storage, one for maybe or unsure, and one for put away. The clothing items you put in the trash should be damaged, broken, and not worth repair. Clothing items put into storage should be clothes that don't fit the season that you don't need, but cant part with. Clothing items for donation should be in pristine condition that you aren't interested in or can't wear anymore. If you're going to donate the clothes at an organization get a receipt so you can get a tax reduction or try selling them to places like The Salvation Army or thrift shop. The "maybe" pile of clothes are the ones you just aren't sure what to do with and you need to try them on to figure it out. Lastly, the put away pile are the clothes are the one you wear on a regular basis.
Now that your room is sparkling, think of new ways to brighten up the space, make it more new, or make it more efficient and accessible. Try moving furniture around, buy some flowers, hang up new pictures, etc. Have fun with this and be creative. Have a space that you're happy to walk into.
The hardest part is maintaining the cleanliness. You do this by periodically taking care of small tasks like, putting garbage in the trash, folding and re-hanging clean clothes, putting dirty clothes in the hamper, making your bed, straightening up surface spaces, and quickly sweeping.
Your room is your sanctuary, so it should feel like it. The carefree release you feel during summer vacation is the same release your room needs during the spring. You're not only helping your space, you're helping yourself. Happy cleaning!

Mike Birbiglia brings his comedy to New Haven's College Street Music Hall
Mike Birbiglia has come a long way since earning his school's "Author of the Month" title in third grade. He joked about it on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" — how the contest was never held again, yet his photo stayed on display for four years, making it a real longtime honor.
It's pretty fitting when you consider how his talents as a storyteller have played into his success as a comedian, filmmaker and actor. His shows, "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend" and "Thank God for Jokes" were filmed for Netflix, he's done several comedy albums and his book, "Sleepwalk with Me and Other Painfully True Stories," was a New York Times best-seller.
Birbiglia, who has entertained everywhere from the Sydney Opera House to Carnegie Hall, will be at New Haven's College Street Music Hall on Saturday, May 5. He spoke about it and more in an email interview.
Q: Aside from the encouragement of that third-grade win, who influenced your decision to do what you do?
A: If I were to name one person who truly changed my life, (college professor John Glavin) would be the one. A lot of what he taught me had to do with discipline and focus and learning the rules of screenwriting before you break them. And to be disciplined and treat writing as seriously as you'd treat European history or chemistry or astrophysics.
More Information
College Street Music Hall, 238 College St., New Haven. Saturday, May 5, 7 p.m. $49-$27.50. 877-435-9849, ticketf.ly/2Khwj9T
Q: What can the audience expect in New Haven?
A: It's very personal. I don't like to tell people what the show is about because I think that takes away from the experience. But it's very much in the vein of "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend," which is a special that I had off-Broadway. ... I feel like in recent years it's become clear that what I'm doing is a very specific type of merge of dramatic and comedic stories and if people like what I'm doing, they'll like it, and if not, maybe not. In terms of whether it's new material, it's all new in the last 15 months. It's 100 percent new. ... And then there's two special guests, Chris Laker, who was recently on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and Jacqueline Novak, who was recently on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon."
Q: Tell us about a new project you're excited about.
A: I have a recurring role on "Billions" this season as Oscar Langstraat, who's a venture capitalist, philanthropist-billionaire, which is really, really fun. My friend Brian Koppelman and his co-creator David Levien asked me to do it and I had a blast with it and I love that cast. It's on Showtime.
Q: What are your thoughts on acting vs. comedy?
A: In terms of acting vs. stand-up, I prefer doing my own shows and my own movies, but acting really does teach me a lot about how other people work, about how other directors work. Working on "Trainwreck," I understood how Judd Apatow directs movies. You couldn't pay for that kind of wisdom. That is literally, if you're as much of a comedy nerd as I am, it is priceless.

White-on-white, light and airy fabrics - these are the pillars of my Miami style. But what represents Miami's collective style? Miami is so diverse that it depends on who you ask. Pinpointing a specific Miami style has been as difficult for me as answering "Who is Miami?" concisely. However, this much is clear: Miami has a unique style that is freely adopted by residents, visitors, and even those who appreciate our beautiful city from afar.
Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to interact with fashion industry professionals who call Miami their part-time or full-time home, including Noe Cesar, Fashion Editor for Brickell Magazine and Key Biscayne Magazine, and Tara Atsalis, the Designer and Owner of Taradise Miami, a line of Grecian-inspired jewelery and designs. My most recent encounter was with Lubov Azria, the Chief Creative Officer of BCBG Max Azria Group. I had the opportunity to briefly chat with her this week during American Express's By Invitation Only event where she previewed BCBG's Pre-Spring 2014 Runway Collection and hosted a private shopping experience at BCBG's Lincoln Road store.
My conversations with individuals like these talented three, as well as my observations during local fashion events, continuously refine my definition of Miami style. For example, during the BCBG runway event, I was convinced that the Pre-Spring 2014 Runway Collection was especially designed for Miami. The pieces, which consist of light and airy maxi dresses and jumpsuits in all-white or in flower patterns, are bold, sexy, and celebrate the woman's body.
In my opinion, BCBG's Pre-Spring 2014 Runway Collection fully embodies the Miami style and, per our conversation, Noe agrees that the piece's various components (i.e. fabric, cut, boldness) are key features of the Miami style. As such, I was surprised to hear Lubov Azria state that she did not design the collection for one city, but for the traveling woman. Her comment, which tempered my initial assumption that the collection was Miami inspired, made me question where Miami's style comes from, what it truly consists of, and how it influences fashion beyond our borders.
In Noe's experience, the outside world is increasingly adopting aspects of Miami's style, like the flower-inspired patterns which are prominently featured in BCBG's Pre-Spring 2014 Runway Collection. He thinks of Miami as a port with a style of its own that is adopted by others who want to see what the Miami lifestyle is about. He points out that high-profile visitors who are photographed during their visit are a testament to this phenomenon because they are mostly captured in what he envisions as the Miami style. And, although that often means bikinis on the beach, Noe knows Miami has style beyond just the bikini. After all, Miami cannot live on bikinis alone.
Tara associates Miami style with a luxurious island vibe, which is one reason why she left New York to launch Taradise Miami here. While her hand-crafted designs are Grecian-inspired, Miami, like the Greek islands, captures the beauty of the ocean and island living so her designs translate seamlessly. Taradise's gorgeous bracelets and headpieces with their signature "mati" evil eye are primarily white and scream Miami chic. The kimonos come in vibrant colors and look as at home in Star Island as they would in the Greek island of Chios.
My observations over the past year have confirmed my initial suspicion that Miami's style is variable - variable between individuals and variable over time. The constant remains that Miami has a unique style and an enviable style. Check out some of my favorite displays of Miami style below.
|Noe Cesar, Fashion Editor of Brickell Magazine and Key Biscayne Magazine, shows us how the fashionable Miami man looks handsome wearing classic pieces in vibrant colors. Noe says "#ThankYouMiami for the boldness of its people who know that it feels good to look good". Photo courtesy of Noe Cesar.
|The BCBG Pre-Spring 2014 Runway Collection featured gorgeous maxi dresses in light fabrics with flower print details. Lubov Azria mentioned before the show that her inspiration was "Kate Moss at Coachella".
|My favorite piece from the BCBG Pre-Spring 2014 Runway Collection is this white jump suit with side cut outs. This classic, bold, and sexy piece is a Miami girl's must-have.
|This romper from Norka, a local and family-owned boutique, is perfectly equipped to keep you looking fabulous in Miami's warm weather. The piece was part of the boutique's fashion show at the November Fashion Happy Hour.
|This white and gold bracelet stack featuring, a Taradise "mati" evil eye bracelet and a wrap leather cuff designed by Noe Cesar, expresses my personal Miami style. Tara Atsalis says "#ThankYouMiami for Miami's fantastic weather and atmosphere".
How do you express your Miami style? What are the staple pieces in your closet? What are some of your go-to local designers and boutiques? Leave a comment below or send me a tweet @ThankYouMiami!

Ground And Groundwater — Duxbury Isn't Utah!
By David A. Mittell, Jr.
The state is demanding that Duxbury reduce its per-person water usage from 80 gallons a day to 65 gallons in order to gain a new 20-year water-withdrawal permit. In the end, which could be soon, the town will have to do what the state tells it to do. But that doesn't make it good public policy.
Water Superintendent Peter Mackin believes the only way the town could meet the state's demand would be to ban all watering of lawns. That may be the state's point — teach those Duxburyites with "wide lawns and narrow minds" (as Hemingway put it of Oak Park, Illinois) a thing or two!
The way I see it the state wants to implement an upstanding water-use policy if this were Utah, where fresh water is a scarce resource. But in New England, as in old England, rain is abundant. There are periods of drought when watering bans are called for. Most years Duxbury gets 60 inches of rainfall. Here, land itself is the scarce resource that needs to be jealously conserved.
In Utah, land is abundant and water is scarce. Utavians can build airports or super high-speed race tracks on their salt flats that would be reckless in Massachusetts, and insane in the state's southeast corner. On the other hand, the amount of water taken out of Utah's dry ground is and will always have to be a critical concern.
Massachusetts isn't Utah but sometimes you wouldn't know it. We squander land and open space, but regulate the product of our bounteous rainfall as if we were in a desert. Left to itself, Duxbury arguably does better than the state. There is lots of conservation land; and the water superintendent seems to have the gift of common sense.
If the state is looking for a cooperative relationship with the town it ought to focus not primarily on how much water comes out of the ground, but on the quality of the water that goes back in. We now know that large asphalt parking lots pollute the water that eventually returns to the soil and the sea. The state has a pretty good plan to break these up with planted spaces and basins that catch the water before it is contaminated.
We also know that fertilizers used on lawns and in gardens lead to chronic algae blooms in ponds. Two generations ago these were unknown. Pesticides also contaminate water that soon makes it to sea. These problems arise not from the amount of water taken out of the ground, nor nor from outdoor watering per se, but rather from what the water carries when it is returned to the ground.
There is thus a lot the state and the town, with common sense, can work together on.

Rihanna is set to release a brand new album this November, according to reports.
The singer will apparently follow 2011's 'Talk That Talk' with a new, unnamed LP this autumn. Billboard writes that the pop star will also release the album's first single on September 17.
The news about Rihanna's seventh studio album was accidently leaked by her label Def Jam's French wing, who hastily deleted their tweet breaking news of the record. They went on to write that more information about the release would follow tomorrow (September 13).
The Vaccines' frontman Justin Young recently said that he listens to Rihanna every day and that he feels "terrible" about the band's previous comments that the singer "isn't an artist".
Last month, guitarist Freddie Cowan said that he thought Rihanna lacked credibility because she brings other people in to do all her work. "Rihanna isn't an artist – she has 15 writers, 15 songwriters and 15 producers all fighting for space on her albums and she's the face of it," he said.
"I feel terrible about that whole thing," Young says. "I listen to Rihanna on a daily fucking basis, really! Just because she's got songwriters, doesn't mean she's not artistic. I definitely think she is a real artist and she's very creative, just in another way. And for the people who write Rihanna's songs: they're fucking genius. That just got picked up all wrong, I love her!"

Just be Patient
Today I express PATIENCE in variations of Lizard / Dragon. Whenever a teacher calls lizard in class, I want to throw my block at them. The area around my hips and pelvis require a lot for me to open them up. It has taken a long time for me to even step into and stay still in the adaptation up top. In that take I am using a turned over trash can in the office. In a class I'd be using 1, 2 maybe 3 blocks for support depending on the day.
In practicing yin yoga, where these are called Dragon variations, the request might be to hold the poses maybe 3 minutes. That's a long time for me to stay still and be with the process. This definitely taught me patience. It teaches me that shift doesn't happen overnight, that I have to be willing to acknowledge where I am on a given day, and to take my time in letting my body open up.
This speaks to so many things in my life where I want to "get" things right away. I want to become a perfect expert at work right away, to fix things instantly, to have answers. So I have to exercise patience, trust the process and breathe through every step of my journey.

What Difference Would It Make?I know what Im supposed to write about here, but as an attorney I just could not pass on the opportunity of discussing an article I read in the New York Times last week. Bill Burkett is the former Texas National Guard officer suspected of providing CBS News with possibly forged records on President Bushs military record. David Van Os, Burketts attorney, was quoted last week as follows:
"If, hypothetically, Bill Burkett . . . had prepared or had typed on a word processor as some of the journalists are presuming, without much evidence, if someone in the year 2004 had prepared on a word processor replicas of documents that they believed had existed in 1972 or 1973 - which Bill Burkett has absolutely not done . . . what difference would it make?"
As an initial observation, I must presume that Mr. Van Os was authorized to utter his hypothetical to the press. Notwithstanding his admonition that Mr. Burkett is not the one responsible for memogate, Mr. Van Os' denial rang hollow. It reminded me of a story about my uncle when he was a small boy. He ran up to my father and aunt, who were playing in the front yard, and said, Theres no fire in the house. They didnt believe him, either, especially when they saw billowing smoke coming out of the house.
Setting aside the political agenda behind the memos in question, if any, there are several fundamental problems with Mr. Van Os statement. Most notably, the military records are not replicas of the originals if indeed originals ever existed, which is precisely why the documents were immediately suspected of having been forged in the first place. Moreover, Mr. Van Os advocacy for a new belief standard for the authenticity of documents is somewhat troubling. What about rules of evidence? How did Mr. Van Os seemingly get around 200 plus years of jurisprudence? Imagine, if you will, the colloquy between counsel and Mr. Van Os if he were elected to the Texas Supreme Court:
Lawyer: Your Honor, it was error for the trial court to admit the memos into the record over the objections of counsel. These documents were forgeries. Further, no evidence was presented that original memos ever existed except for the testimony of Mr. X, who is accused of creating the forgeries.
J. [Justice] Van Os: But counselor, Mr. X testified under oath that he believed the originals once existed over 30 years ago, and that he was very careful in forging the memos so that everyone, including the American public, would believe they were duplicates of the originals. Clearly, the jurors were entitled to see the memos for themselves.
Lawyer: With all due respect, no, your Honor. Without the originals, the forged memos constitute nothing more than inadmissible hearsay and should have been excluded from the evidence.
J. Van Os: Well, not so fast counselor. After all, theres the ancient document exception, and the. . .
Lawyer: Excuse me your Honor, but there is no evidence that the forgeries are over 30 years old. In fact, they were created this year. Besides that, theres the issue of authenticity again.
J. Van Os: Even so, theres still the public records exception, the business records exception, and don't forget the one involving. . . .
Lawyer: Pardon me again your Honor, but the hearsay exceptions you are referring to only apply when there is no dispute that the copy to be introduced into evidence is the same as the original, which certainly is not the case here. Indeed, the evidence shows that certain statements in the forgeries could not be true because . . . .
J. Van Os: Back to your argument about the originals, eh, counselor? Dont you understand? Thats the conundrum we find ourselves in today because the originals obviously do not exist. Thankfully, however, Mr. X believes they once did exist, and he has assured us that his forgeries accurately reflect his belief. Relax, counselor. The jurors are smart people. Right? They dont need any further safeguards before evaluating the merits of the statements within those memos. And as long as Mr. Xs believes his forgeries are accurate, what difference could it possibly make?
Well, insofar as determining whether David Van Os is elected to the Texas Supreme Court is concerned, I can only hope that it does make a difference.

OBJECTIVE. To test functional improvement after a group cognitive–functional occupational therapy intervention for preschoolers with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
METHOD. Seventeen preschooler–parent dyads attended 11 weekly group sessions focused on acquiring executive strategies through occupational performance. Functional improvement was measured using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS); executive function, using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function–Pediatric; ADHD symptomatology, using Conners' Parent Rating Scale–Revised and Conners' Teacher Rating Scale–Revised; and social functioning, using the Social Participation scale of the Sensory Processing Measure.
RESULTS. Significant improvement was found on the COPM and GAS measures, whereas mixed results were found on the other measures, with improvements found in children whose scores indicated impairment at baseline.
CONCLUSIONS. Cognitive–functional group intervention appears to significantly improve daily functioning, executive function, and social functioning for children who demonstrate clinical impairment. Further research with a larger sample, a control group, and follow-up is required.

If you are one of millions who suffer from these conditions, and are using OTC or prescriptive drugs to treat your condition, you may be using an ineffective approach.
It's after dinner and your friend starts acting funny, rubbing his stomach and stifling a belch. You look concerned. Your friend says, "I have GERD". You are thinking to yourself …that doesn't sound very good. And you would be right!
GERD, aka heartburn or acid reflux, stands for Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disorder. (Heartburn is really a descriptive word of what people feel when they have GERD).
GERD symptoms occur when acid from the stomach moves up through the tissues of the upper stomach and into the esophagus. This creates a burning sensation, indigestion, or worse, a regurgitation of stomach contents. Untreated, acid reflux can eventually damage, ulcerate or even cause a precancerous esophageal condition known as Barrett's Esophagus.
The most common treatment for GERD is drugs. Muscle relaxants, asthma drugs, and beta-blockers however, have secondary side effects that create problems with the very conditions they are supposed to treat. Many patients report that they have aspirin gerd. Aspirin and acid reflux often occur together because aspirin causes bleeding in the stomach and causes the stomach's protective mucosal lining to atrophy or weaken.
Are You Getting Burned By Heartburn Drugs?
If you are one of millions who suffer from these conditions, and are using OTC or prescriptive drugs to treat your condition, you may be using an ineffective approach.
The job of antacids, or acid blocking drugs, is to block or neutralize stomach acid production. The problem is that our stomach makes its own gastric acid for a reason: It needs acid to digest our food. People think antacids work because they give symptomatic, temporary relief but they do not get to the real cause of the problem, (see below).
In addition, antacids and acid blocking drugs may cause osteoporosis, i.e. bone loss from malabsorption of minerals, impede protein digestion, create bowel problems and can promote serious bacterial infections in the gut, impacting our immune system. Heart burn medication use has been associated with , kidney failure, increased heart attacks and increased incidence of dementia.
Top right illustrates the normal function of the lower esophageal sphincter. Bottom right illustrates an open sphincter, which allows stomach contents to reflux back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation.
If You Get To The Cause …You Can Get To The Cure
In our clinic, we have found many GERD sufferers have one of more of the following conditions that's causing their upset:
1. Irritated stomach lining and inadequate digestive enzyme production.
2. Food allergies or sensitivities that cause protracted digestive problems.
3. Mechanical or structural weakness with the diaphragm, which can lead to a Hiatal Hernia.
Want Real Relief from Heartburn and Acid Reflux?
In our clinic, we have helped hundreds of patients in the Chico and Redding California area to get relief from GERD symptoms by using a 3-part treatment approach that gets to the cause(s): We nourish and restore the protective mucosal stomach lining, we improve your digestion, and we stimulate nerve pathways that lead to the upper stomach and throat to reduce spasms and reflux.
Learn how you can go beyond temporary relief: call our office based in Chico at 530-899-8741 to schedule a personal consultation to learn how Dr. Patrick's approach might be right for you. Call the Digestion Relief Center today so that you, or someone you know, can enjoy eating again!
Dr. Patrick Giammarise, D.C., Internal Health Specialist, is the founder of the Digestive Relief Center in Chico, California. He specializes in effective, natural relief for GERD, heartburn, acid reflux and digestive problems.
