After bumpy start, symphony sparkled with Mason Bates, Rachmaninoff, and Mozart.
Garrett Harris 4:32 p.m., Oct. 15
San Diego San Diego State University had an image problem, and its president, Stephen Weber, would do almost anything to fix it. It wasn't a new problem, of course. The former teachers' college on the east end of town has long played second banana to the academically prestigious University of California campus in La Jolla. SDSU has also taken plenty of heat in the national media for its reputed lack of intellectual rigor. Playboy once proclaimed it one of the country's top-ten party schools, and over the years a series of high-profile alcohol- and drug-poisoning cases have highlighted -- deservedly or not -- the university's reputation for underage drinking and date rape.
So when Weber took over as president in 1996, one of his biggest priorities was better public relations. He quickly realized, university documents show, that the most effective weapon in his arsenal was KPBS, the SDSU-owned public broadcast operation encompassing both a TV and FM radio station. Supported by state-tax dollars, federal-government grants, and viewer contributions, the stations, with their powerful broadcast signals and coveted slots on local cable systems, are the only choice in the region for most of those seeking to tune to public radio and television programs.
That monopoly has always been a key to the unquestioned power of the KPBS stations, which raise millions of dollars each year by telling local viewers that their money is needed to purchase the popular national programming, such as Masterpiece Theatre and Nova, at the core of the KPBS schedule. That lure has allowed the KPBS budget to burgeon to more than $14 million this year, according to figures released by the stations last month. As revenue grew, so did station aspirations -- as well as increasing demands by SDSU president Weber that the operation be used to service the university's economic and political interests.
Weber began his tenure as president by leaning heavily on KPBS management -- which had enjoyed a period of semi-autonomy from university interference -- to propagandize more heavily on behalf of SDSU. For a time, Weber seemed partially satisfied that the stations were following his desires, including making regular on-air mentions of the station's SDSU ownership, but he continued to push for more.
In the summer of 1999, Weber wrote to KPBS general manager Doug Myrland. "I was delighted to hear about your efforts to increase the visibility of San Diego State via KPBS," Weber wrote Myrland in a memo dated July 30, 1999. "As you know, I have long thought that this is a positive, symbiotic partnership and one that can incorporate and advance our mutual success.
"I had mentioned to you that there were two things that struck me, as a layman, that would be particularly helpful:
"First, a changing 'tag line' to be inserted behind 'A broadcast service of San Diego State University....' You mentioned that it would be helpful for you to have a single person represent the university in providing those tag lines. I have talked to Tere Mendoza, and she tells me that Sara Muller Fraunces, Associate Vice President for Marketing and Communication, would be the obvious person with whom to coordinate. (In that regard, it might make some sense for you to have a preliminary discussion with Sara so that you both understand each other's needs in setting up those tag lines.)
"Second, some way to include San Diego State in the logo, which appears on the lower right-hand screen throughout your broadcast. I was very pleased to hear that that is your intent. Here again, as you begin your work on your graphic designs, I hope you will touch base with Sara. Please consider her San Diego State's contact with regard to both appropriate tag lines and design elements."
But the Weber push for greater SDSU influence conflicted with a KPBS strategy of attempting to portray itself to viewers and potential donors as an independent operation made up of "members," whom it solicited during its monthly pledge drives. Thousands of viewers actually thought they "belonged" to the station and even sported automobile license-plate frames boasting of their KPBS "membership."
Once they realized that KPBS was a creature of San Diego State -- under the control of its president, Steve Weber, rather than a nonprofit corporation with an independent board of trustees -- many donors, especially large corporations and those with loyalties to other academic institutions, such as UCSD, shied away from contributing. It was not in the station's best interests, according to these managers, for SDSU to exert such obvious authority over programming and station identity.
Old-time staffers, sources say, fought a good fight against Weber's incursions into what they regarded as their turf, but by the fall of 1999, university documents show, the president had grown impatient with the staff's foot-dragging and stepped up the pressure on Myrland. Weber expressed his frustration in a memo to station management.
"I know that we have made a good deal of progress with KPBS and its increasing recognition of San Diego State, and I know that Doug is working on redesigning the logo and other things that will help with that identification," said Weber's September 9, 1999, memo.
"Recently, however, there was an instance that I think could have been helpful to that recognition process, had KPBS so chosen. At the gala previewing the upcoming KPBS series on the border, there was literally no recognition of San Diego State or its relationship with KPBS. In fact, there were almost no San Diego State people in attendance (and there were many from UCSD).
"I know how hard it is to change ingrown habits and behaviors, but this is the sort of thing that I will need to keep bringing to your and Doug's attention until we gradually see a change."
Why is Weber so interested in controlling KPBS? He, along with KPBS manager Myrland, declined requests for interviews last week, but university insiders say that the stations and their virtual monopoly over local public-affairs programming provide an ideal vehicle for the university to influence regional political and business decisions. Documents obtained from the university under the state's public-records act show that Weber has repeatedly involved himself in station policy with an eye toward fostering university interests.

Baltimore, MD. – Surgeons at LifeBridge Health's Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics have performed the first surgery in North America using the latest generation of the PRECICE™ Limb Lengthening System. John Herzenberg, M.D., the director of the Rubin Institute's International Center for Limb Lengthening (ICLL) and Shawn Standard, M.D., head of Pediatric Orthopedics at the ICLL, inserted the P2 rod into the tibia of a patient at Sinai Hospital earlier this year.
The P2 rod is the second iteration of Ellipse Technologies' PRECICE Limb Lengthening System, the first externally controllable internal limb lengthening system to receive FDA clearance. This system was co-developed by Standard and Herzenberg in collaboration with Ellipse Technologies of Irvine, California, and Stuart Green, M.D., clinical professor of orthopedic surgery, University of California, Irvine. Launched in early 2012, the first generation of the PRECICE was the first fully controllable internal limb lengthening system available to medical professionals.
"The PRECICE Limb Lengthening System represented a revolutionary advancement in the field of limb lengthening," said Herzenberg. "This introduction of the P2 is the next step in this ongoing evolution. We are grateful that we have had the opportunity to be the first institution in North America to perform a surgery using this new device. The PRECICE system has been a great success at the Rubin Institute. Since 2012, the ICLL has performed 100 surgeries using the initial PRECICE system. We expect the similar results with the new P2, along with expanded applicability to younger and smaller patients, because the P2 nail is available in a smaller size (8.5 mm diameter) compared to the original PRECICE nail."
The PRECICE Limb Lengthening System uses a telescopic titanium rod surgically implanted in either the femur (thigh bone) or tibia (shin bone) and an external remote controller to internally lengthen bones in the leg. Inside the rod, a miniature magnetic motor and gear box create the force needed to lengthen the rod. The power to drive the internal motor is supplied by a magnetic field generator that is held on the skin next to the leg several times a day for a few minutes.
"Ellipse Technologies' PRECICE nail has been a game-changer for our patients. No longer do we have to rely on external fixators for lengthening limbs. The PRECICE internal nail offers patients a more comfortable alternative, with less pain, and less risk of infection, compared to external fixators," explained Herzenberg.
The P2 provides additional strength both in nail body as well as in the internal magnetic lengthening mechanism inside the nail. The additional strength allows earlier weight bearing than the original PRECICE system.
Limb lengthening is used to treat upper and lower limb length deformities. Through this process, new bone and soft tissues are gradually grown through a combination of surgery and either an internal or external fixator. This new growth is called distraction osteogenesis. Bone and soft tissue regenerate when they are slowly pulled apart at a rate of approximately 1 mm per day.
The ICLL is one of the world's leading centers for the treatment of children and adults with upper and lower limb length deformities. Children and adults from all 50 states and more than 50 countries have traveled to the ICLL to receive comprehensive orthopedic treatment.
LifeBridge Health is one of the largest, most comprehensive providers of health services in northwest Baltimore. LifeBridge Health includes Sinai Hospital, Northwest Hospital, Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital, Courtland Gardens Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, and related subsidiaries and affiliates.

What's an American record company to do with a young woman who wants to sing Italian pop songs?
By: Linnea Crowther
6 years ago
Laura Branigan's biggest hits occupied a slightly awkward musical moment between the end of disco and the rise of New Wave in America, when dance clubs didn't have an obvious style and when Atlantic Records couldn't decide quite what to do with a young woman who wanted to sing Americanized versions of Italian pop songs. In that climate, a less talented singer could have slipped through the cracks, becoming a footnote rather than a chart-topper.
But Branigan's vocal chops were hard to resist, and so was her first big hit, 1982's "Gloria." The song was written and originally performed by Italian pop star Umberto Tozzi, and was one of several Italian songs that Branigan would rework and make her own. She rewrote the lyrics, removing the romantic nature of the song, and upped the tempo a bit to give it a punchier, more American sound. The result was right on target, and the song swept the charts, setting a record for the longest tenure on the Billboard Hot 100 by a solo female act.
"Gloria" was so popular, and its longevity so great, that it landed Branigan a gig on one of the hottest TV shows of the day, CHiPs. Branigan performed "Gloria" over the episode's opening credits, but that wasn't all – she was also a guest star, playing a struggling singer whose all-girl band helps Ponch and Jon catch a criminal.
By 1985, radio listeners were used to synthesizers, and "Self Control" rocketed up the charts. It, too, was originally an Italian hit, performed by Raf. But Branigan made the song her own.
Branigan continued recording and performing, but illness and injury kept intervening. In 1996, she lost her husband to colon cancer after a two-year illness, and in 2001, she suffered a bad fall and two broken legs. Three years later, at just 52, Branigan died in her sleep of a cerebral aneurysm.
Branigan – who would have been 60 today – left us much too soon, but she will be remembered as one of the top voices of the '80s.

Wallow Fire Update June 10
and Emergency Fire Fund Set Up
by Jesse Wolf Hardin
We wake up again to a thick fog of smoke from the swelling Wallow wildfire, with the rising sun tinted a remarkable blood red color. This is the point in the movie when Bambi and the other creatures of the forest sense the nearness of danger and begin their stampede in the direction of safety, but we are not ready to treat the burning of our canyon as inevitable. This botanical and wildlife sanctuary was devoid of most plant species when I moved here 35 Winters ago, and the thick green diversity and hundred feet high cottonwood trees I see from my cabin window are the result of those years of planting and protection. The fires continue their push our way, yet until the moment they might be laid to waste, we can not and will not accept their loss.
Yet we wake up not only to ominous smoke, but to the unceasing work of Anima school, to the tasks revolving around our next Plant Healer magazine for herbalists, the folks awaiting personal counsel and herbal consultations, the watering of delicious edible nettles alongside the river… and awaken, also, to yet another dozen letters and blog comments with hopes and prayers, love and offers of help. They are a counterforce to the once again growing winds of destruction, the juice needed for unabated healing and creation in the face of all challenges and threats. "Though we have never met", many of your messages begin, and it is proof of the depth of our connection that so many feel close. We can't thank you enough for being allied and caring in this troubling time, our students and allies, our extended family, our community of purpose.
Anima Emergency Fund
A fund has been set up for Anima Sanctuary and School, at the insistence of many. Starting with the seed of an unsolicited donation from our author/herbalist friend Virginia, contributions will be accepted for land protection and repair, which will also help make possible our continuing healing work.
Expenses are climbing. We have already had to shift funds from home repairs to evacuation preparedness, extra fuel for the vehicles and supplies, while our paid workers and gifting friends shift their emphasis from the water project to clearing the ground of flammables in a perimeter around the main cabins. This Emergency Fund will help fund these preparations, and in the event the fire does indeed overtake and engulf us, it will be used to replace and repair the infrastructure of the sanctuary,clinic and school, and to pay for what will be a huge reseeding and restoration effort.
Donations to the Anima Emergency Fund can be made at http://animacenter.org/donate.html and indicate in the message box that it is intended for the fire fund.
or a check or m.o. made out to Gretchen Geggis (Loba), and mailed to:
Anima Emergency Fund
P.O. Box 688, Reserve, NM 87830
Thank you!
NonMonetary Donations
To those of you offering to send foods, herbs, tools and so forth, we ask that you send a letter to the above addresses with a list of what you can provide, and then IF and when they're needed we'll get back to you. If the fire moves through this canyon and takes our living structures, a travel trailer will be the first item we look for.
Physically Assisting With Our Evacuation
Only a few of the many folks offering to come here and help, are even from the Southwest! We will only accept the assistance of those who live close enough for it not to be a great hardship, and only in the last couple days before we need to be fully evacuated. This could happen a week from now, several weeks from now, or in only a few short days depending on what the winds and blaze does. If you are determined to help with an evacuation, please write us with your availability and how to reach you quickest.
June 10 General Wallow Fire Update
Here are the official numbers, but note that all reports are inevitably dated and often inaccurate:
Cause: Human – reported to have been a fisherman's campfire
Size: 408,887 acres based on predawn June 10 infrared data
Percent Contained: 5%
Injuries to Date: 3
Losses to Residences so far: 4,018 threatened, 29 destroyed, 5 damaged
Other Losses: 24 non-residential structures destroyed
Number of Personnel: 3,137 +/-, with 19 hotshot crews and 45 hand crews
Equipment employed: 17 dozers, 221 engines, 66 watertenders
Aircraft employed: 14 helicopters, 1 slurry plane
Southeast Side of Wallow Fire Needs Attention
The Southeast side is where the growth is most worrisome for us, being the most likely source of any threat to the county seat of Reserve as well as the outlying subdivision known as Rancho Grande and the "Y". It is in the most rugged terrain of all the fire's fronts, and roadless wilderness. Little has been reported done to contain the spread from the Southeast, so our ears are open.
Today we will continue removing dead grass and downfall from the vicinity of our office and home, though our 3 other cabins are surrounded by thick forest and will have nothing but their luck going for them. Rhiannon is being a trooper, busting her rear to help and keeping a strong heart and clear head through this stressful time. Kiva is in town gathering information and taking care of internet downloads for the conference, and I am trying hard to focus on getting back to all of you waiting for a reply from us. Glad this issue of the Plant Healer magazine is complete, one less deadline as we rush to take care of our commitments and still be ready for the fire. Loba has just come back from one of her regular dips in the shallow Rio Frisco, with a breathless report on getting to see a rare family of German Shepherd sized Coatimundi, her excitement and gratitude undiminished by the growing threat.
The hardest thing for us so far is the stress of the unknown, the scary waiting when we might rather either be in the fight or out of the path.
But a new sun will rise each day for us, reddened or not.
(Forward and Post)
4 Responses to "Wallow Fire and Emergency Fund"
I am praying that the fire wil be contained and leave your sanctuary continue to thrive! Mother Earth knows that you are her helpmates. God Bless!
The stress from waiting can be very difficult. Praying for calm, loving, WET protection for you and your sanctuary.
Prayers of safety and protection for you and yours and all you hold dear.
My husband asked me about your family just this morning. While working in the garden my thoughts turned to you many times, and I wondered if you might be needing some kind of assistance. I'm glad you thought to post this blog post; our family will help you out in whatever way we can.

I'd love to see this one! Beautiful Dior....ReplyDelete
Hi Carol - LOVE LOVE LOVE! Your email of the blog is one of the first things I see each morning, with my cup of tea and you just make my day with your beautiful images. This is beautiful! xoReplyDelete
Bonjour Carol. Long time no talk to... Now here is an exhibit I would have rushed to, but I guess I'd hardly have time to pack my bag before it is over... Dommage.... You must have enjoyed the break from all the tempting exhibits and places you usually feature here. Clearly, there was nothing to *eat* chez Dior... but, certainly, a feast for the eyes! Hope all is well in Paris. A bientôt, Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
yes, yes a feast for the eyes, Carol...so lovely thank you for the 'visit' with youReplyDelete
Oh my - Dior and photos and vanilla and pastries ... what an amazing week! I'm loving it as much as you are!ReplyDelete
so chic so french Dior I adore him..but sorry miss Dior its not nice for my nose..I prefer Poison the red version ,the first one..but my personal perfume is Habanita not so commercialReplyDelete
Now that you mention it, there was absolutely NO Miss Dior perfume sprayed at the exhibit.
Too many allergies i would guess.
Quel chic avec cette excellente publication !...
Gros bisous à vous "Miss Dior"... ☺♥
Please tell them to extend the exhibition until at least December 18, the day I will come to Paris...ReplyDelete
YOU tell them!
Maybe you & others can make a difference Vreni ;))
So beautifulReplyDelete
That looks such a magnificent exhibition. Such a shame it is so fleeting. I'm so glad that you were able to go, and that you shared it with us. Those bows are lovely. We recently saw an original print of Dovima with the Elephants in an exhibition in Canberra. I love those frocks.ReplyDelete
Beautiful exhibit.ReplyDelete
Hmmm. I don't think that comment too because no captcha came up! Love it all -- it could turn me into a fashionista -- at least one who would admire, even if I couldn't wear it! Love the swan and Avedon especially and the giant bows! I can hardly believe they'd just leave it up so short a time...ReplyDelete
No no that was the Palais de Tokyo but this perfume expo seems to be a trend...ReplyDelete
Such a great exhibit! But the thing I find most interesting is "pied-de-poule" for what we call houndstooth….houndsfoot?ReplyDelete

I will break out my Pro Kennex Silver Ace, PK Graphite Prophecy, Yonex R-7, and Head Graphite Director ( among others ) every now and again to mix things up a bit. I just strung a Bard Jade Fire (Graphite/Boron) and am anxious to work it into my current rotation...
Anyone else give court time their favorite vintage sticks these days?

I got a Pro Kennex Black Ace 98 (86). It feels sorta like my Youtek Prestige Mid but with way more flex. It's so flexy that I can't serve with it, feels like it will break in my hand. Gonna try to lead it up.
I have 3 Head Pro Tour 280 China versions. 100% graphite as well. I love these guys to death!
And I have 1 Pro Tour 630 with the Kevlar/Twaron. It's my big flat hitter, with an even 2-3 pts HL balance.
So you have the Silver Ace, eh? I had the Ceramic Ace and although it hit nice, just didn't have enough plow for me. Are you leading the head up a ton?
I have about 4.5 grams total up there. Now its a BOOMSTICK. Those are cool Head sticks you got there boss.
Alright then. I'm gonna load up the Black Ace with 4 grams and see what happens. I wanna BOOMSTICK!
Dude, you were right! I put 4 grams on my Black Ace and now the thing serves will lots of brio. lol
Its the real deal, I am telling you...... :)
how about the pro kennex golden ace, the head edgewood or some of the more popular 65 sq in sticks? i use them quite a bit.
Did the Golden Ace have wood in it, Chan?
I like to bust out my Snauwert Brian Godfried and put some of the kids to shame, fun to feel the sweet wood bend and do its magic.
How about Snauwert Mecir? I haven't seen one in person.
Tim, The golden ace did indeed have wood in it, and I believe it was used/endorsed by Josè-Luis Clerc of Argentina...Sweet frame
Hmm, Clerc, eh? Must be good then.

Bell and Root crowned BHS Prom King and Queen
As students at Boonville High School (BHS) prepare for the end of the school year, many look forward to prom. This year's theme was Royal Masquerade and many students accompanied their dresses and tuxes with masks. Shoes were shined and dresses were puffed out as the prom candidates had the spotlight on them as they walked in front of the crowd! Crowned Prom Queen and King were seniors Zoe Root and Richard Bell. Filled with joy and excitement, the crowned queen and king shared their thoughts on the night.
"I had an amazing night. It was great to be with my friends, especially since it's my senior year. I was really excited to be crowned king," Bell said.
Root said she was very excited to be nominated for prom queen.
"I didn't expect to win but it was a good surprise! it was the best prom yet," she said.
Along with the crowned Queen and King, junior Grady Kay was crowned Prom Prince and Estefany Bustamante was crowned Princess.
Following the dance, there was a Post Prom party at the Boonslick Heartland YMCA. With multiple large prizes being given away, students didn't walk away empty handed.
Three 32-inch flat screen televsions were given to three different seniors, one of which was Tina Dungan.
"Post prom was so much fun and winning a TV was the best part of my night! It is going to be great for college," said Tina Dungan.
Winning a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, (which retails at Best Buy for $249.99), Amanda Cook shared her thoughts on post prom.
"My night was went great; I was spending time with all my friends and when time came to draw names to win the big prizes, they drew my name and I was so excited," Cook said.
Other prizes, including a mini fridge, microwave, countless gift cards, grills and many more, were given to randomly drawn students.
Food was served and entertainment included lazer tag, a free photo booth, a money machine, music played by DJ Kenzie Ficken and inflatable obstacles. Students enjoyed a safe, priceless night and were very pleased with the outcome.

Medicare rule could be painful for patients
Federal officials at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are currently considering whether to maintain patient access to crucial pain-relief treatments provided by Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) -- or to eliminate these services and risk leaving millions of Americans with chronic pain conditions to suffer on their own. They'll make their final decision later this fall.
For well over a decade, CRNAs have administered routine, chronic pain-management services such as opiate and steroid injections, ultrasound medical imaging, and refills for implantable anesthetic pumps. At issue is whether these qualified anesthesia professionals should be allowed to continue providing such services.
Medicare officials have proposed rules that would preserve patient access to CRNAs -- and it's crucial that they ratify them. If they don't, millions of patients who rely on CRNAs for pain management will unnecessarily suffer. So who, then, wants to "fix what isn't broken?"
The issue came to Medicare's attention last year when two companies contracted by the program to process insurance claims began refusing to directly reimburse CRNAs for the treatment they delivered.
The companies' actions broke sharply with Medicare's history: Since the mid-1980s the program has allowed nurse anesthetists to care for beneficiaries.
If the two contractors' dictates stand -- and if other contractors follow their lead -- many patients will lose convenient access to excellent pain-management care for no apparent reason.
There simply aren't enough healthcare providers to care for the millions of Americans suffering from chronic pain, according to a recent report from the Institute of Medicine. In rural and other medically underserved areas in particular, physician anesthesiologists are in short supply.
Qualified CRNAs fill the void. Many rural patients depend on them for therapy. Without CRNAs, many would have to drive hundreds of miles to a hospital to see a physician, move into an unfamiliar institution like a nursing home far from family and friends, or even forego treatment entirely.
Such unfortunate outcomes are already befalling some patients. One CRNA in Montana continued to provide pain care to local seniors even though he knew his claims would be denied. He did this because his beneficiaries had no other source of care. Another nurse anesthetist working in Kansas reported that the alternative for her patients was a three-hour round-trip to a major city.
Such examples of patient suffering are particularly galling because the contractors' stance on nurse anesthetists makes no sense, especially in light of two recent landmark studies that confirmed CRNA safety and cost-effectiveness.
One study, published in 2010 in Health Affairs, examined 500,000 individual cases of CRNA-only anesthesia care and concluded that the care delivered was as safe as CRNA care provided under physician supervision.
Also in 2010, a study in the Journal of Nursing Economic$ showed that not only are CRNAs safe, but CRNAs working alone are the most cost-effective anesthesia delivery model -- in fact, 25 percent more cost-effective than any other model.
The importance of this cannot be overemphasized in these times of economic turmoil and an overburdened healthcare system. In the area of pain management alone, patient care exceeds $600 billion per year.
Additionally, by managing patients' chronic pain regularly, CRNAs cut down on the need for other far costlier services and interventions, including ambulance transport to distant healthcare facilities, surgical procedures, or even institutionalization in nursing homes or other post-acute care facilities.
There are more than 45,000 nurse anesthetists in the United States who collectively deliver some 32 million anesthetics every year. These providers complete a nationally accredited training program requiring rigorous graduate-level education. Many CRNAs also undertake formal and informal fellowships.
In order to become CRNAs, candidates must study anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and pain management, as well as obtain clinical experience with regional anesthetic techniques such as spinal and epidural anesthesia.
About a third of Americans suffer from chronic pain. They depend on Medicare to preserve their ability to access the crucial care delivered by CRNAs. For the sake of pain patients all across the country, CMS must affirm the ability of CRNAs to operate independently with direct reimbursement, as has been the case for more than a decade. The alternative would be too painful for patients to bear.
Janice Izlar is a certified registered nurse anesthetist and president of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists.

Superdrug had a 3 for 2 so I bought this Rimmer Max Curves mascara, their newest one to try.
Check out how much tape my local Superdrug puts around it's beauty products. We get it – you don't trust us! But really, a security take, bits of paper and three layers of sellotape is a bit too much.
After many minutes of picking and cutting I manage to get to the tube.
Here it is! I love green things. I guess I could buy any mascara that comes in a green tube.
So here we go again, a mascara that promises to give the maximum curves. I used to think a curvy brush meant curvy lashes but this is not at all the case. I find comb mascaras better for this kind of thing to be honest.
The brush is curved and quite chubby. A bit fiddly for lashes like mine.
The formula is a deep black, it doesn't flake and makes the lashes look quite healthy.
But Max Curves – nah. it was ok, but my curl still flopped a little. It's a nice deep black though and it adds a decent amount of volume but it's still nothing special. Also why do these mascaras cost so much money? This was about £7.
It's not awful, it's not great either and it didn't give me max curves despite what Lily Cole says.

Fifty-two Catholic University law school students were honored on May 24 for their successful completion of course concentrations that stamp them as especially qualified to practice within their chosen area of interest.
The annual Institutes and Special Programs Certificate Ceremony, held as usual one day prior to the law school's general commencement, invited the hard-working students and their families, as well as the faculty directors of their programs, to acknowledge their good work.
"Employers are lucky to get your sons and daughters, who've devoted the time and effort to obtain an even higher degree of legal expertise in the areas of Jurisprudence, Law and Public Policy, Communications Law, Comparative and International Law, and Securities Law," said Professor George Garvey, associate dean for academic affairs, filling in for Dean Veryl Miles.
He continued "These are some of the most dynamic practice areas going today. Our students are well positioned to launch into stimulating careers that will reward them for decades to come."
Dean Garvey also highlighted some of the lectures, symposia, and legal programs produced by the Institutes and Special Programs over the just-completed academic year.
In turn, each director of the five Institutes and Special Programs then spoke glowingly of their students, starting with Professor Donna Coleman Gregg, director of the Institute for Communications Law Studies.
"They will go into the field of communications law and start making contributions immediately," she predicted.
Professor Rett Ludwikowski, director of the Comparative and International Law Institute, was in Poland, so faculty colleague Professor Ralph Rohner stood in for him.
"What would Rett say? Mostly, he would express his pride in these students and what they have accomplished," Rohner observed.
Pride and passion were major themes during the afternoon. Five of the seven certificate recipients of the Securities Law Program already have post-graduate employment lined up, and interviews are in the works for the other two. That, said program director Professor David Lipton, is a testament to an involved and proactive alumni base, as well as to students whose love for their subject shines through.
"Our students have passion for securities law, passion for their families and passion for their communities," said Lipton. "Our alumni can help them get interviews and they do. They care about your sons and daughters."
Graduates of the Law and Public Policy Program must complete major papers as a requirement for graduation. Professor Sarah Duggin, who co-directs the program along with Professor Mary Leary, took a few minutes to describe each student's project in some detail. One student, for example, analyzed what she called the "school-to-prison pipeline" path followed by too many underprivileged students in Washington, D.C.
"We're in a world of uncertainty. It's a tempting time to say, 'how do I protect myself'?" said Duggin. But no one in the Law and Public Policy Program has done that. You've turned to the world. We need you," she concluded.
Following the ceremony, the certificate students and their families celebrated with a reception.

The Walrus Says
The scoutmaster said that Ross Bohensky completed an extensive week of Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience (COPE) which is a program that teaches team building on a high ropes course.
Adam DiLuglio completed his term as the troop's senior patrol leader and handed over the responsibilities to Brian Volpe, who was voted in by his fellow troop members. Brian then selected Drew Matley to be assistant senior patrol leader.
"I would like to thank the adult leaders that helped make it all possible. Each took personal or vacation time to stay at camp with the Scouts. They are Diane Archibald, Jim Archibald, Harry Chase, Glen Hopkins, John Keavy and Linda Maclean. Also adult leaders who provided support during the week — John Keavy Sr., Maryann Toppa, Cynthia Waterman, Stephen Walsh and a special thanks to Deborah Richards," David said. Kudos to all!!!
One of the many fun moments at the annual concerts by the Men's Chorus of Jamestown is the sing-along. The shower isn't the only place to exercise your vocal chords. Do it publicly at this year's concert Saturday beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Community Center.
Chorus Director B.J. Whitehouse is giving everyone a heads-up on what those songs will be if you can identify the origin of the following lyrics:
a. "Now wider and wider our circle expands."
b. "I long to see your smiling valley."
c. "Oh, I like to rise when the sun she rises." Sing On!!!
"Praise the Lord and pass the
?, Praise the Lord we're on a
mighty ?"
Atotal of 95 segments (learning new skills) and
54 merit badges, 38 of which are Eagle required, were earned by members of Jamestown Boy Scout Troop 1 during their week-long encampment at the Yawgoog Boy Scout Reservation Aug. 7-14.
Scoutmaster Dave Volpe reported that 32 scouts and seven adults attended and the troop earned Honor Troop for the week. The four patrols were presented with Honor Patrol awards. The troop also came in a close second to winning Elmo's Troop of the Week.
Adult leader John Keavy and Scout Brian Volpe earned their Yeoman segment which requires shooting an arrow from 20 yards to the target and earning a minimum of 120 points around the bulls eye.
Dave said that throughout the hot and muggy week the Scouts engaged in a number of challenges, including ultimate Frisbee against Troop 1, Babylon, N.Y., and a water polo match with Troop 46, Mount Vernon, N.Y.
A Court of Honor was convened on the last day of camp and Scouts were advanced in rank.
Achieving Scout rank were Nick Lutes, Vincenzo Moretti, Hayden Maclean, Ben Normand, and James Perry.
Tenderfoot rank was earned by Shane Farrelly, Eric Archibald, Vaughan Nelson-Lee, Hayden Maclean, and Ben Normand.
The rank of Second Class was presented to Kevin Flanagan, Shane Farrelly, Cameron Toppa, Eric Archibald, and Chris Waterman.
Eric Archibald, Shane Farrelly and Devon McMaster were recipients of First Class badges.
Star rank was earned by Sal Morenzi, Tom Munro, and Michael Brendlinger.
Drew Matley and Brian Volpe achieved their Life rank.
We saw Don Richardson policing and tidying up around the Veterans Memorial at East Ferry. We're told he's out there most days.
Thanks, Don, and kudos!!
The Jamestown Community Center will soon be the habitat of all-manner of wildlife including ducks, ducklings, cats, fish, turkeys, hens, chicks, bullfrogs, and who knows what else Artistic Director Mary Wright will come up with?
Mary has announced the cast list for 'Honk!,' the Jamestown Community Theatre's fall production, scheduled to be staged in November.
Matt Bolles will play Ugly, a duck/swan; Jenna Regan, Ida Duck, Ugly's mama; John Baldwin, Drake Duck, Ugly's papa; Kay Worden, Divine Grace Duck; and Hope Darrigan, Chanteuse Duck.

Michael Liebhauser will be The Cat.
Rebecca Brazil, Georgia Wright and Patty Vandal have been cast as hens named Maureen, Rosetta and Henrietta.
Two turkeys, Joshua Brown and Greg Glomb will be a Drumstick and a Giblet. Kudos to all. More cast names next week.
Andrea von Hohenleiten thought the fireworks on Aug. 13 were for her. She was celebrating her half birthday that night. Hugs for the pretty lady.
Planning on taking your critter with you on vacation? Better read what Dr. Joshua Hatch of the Jamestown Animal Clinic has to say in his Pet Tip of the Week.
"Summer trips can be fun, but if you're planning on bringing Fluffy, you should take a few precautions. How many times have you seen a small dog sitting on the driver's lap looking out the window? A sudden stop or an accident can send your pet flying. A loose pet in a car can also escape when someone opens the door.
"They make special harnesses like seat belts for dogs, and the cat carrier can always be used to transport your pet safely. Of course, make sure the carrier is also secured to the back seat with a seat belt. Some dogs and cats do not travel well in a car, especially on long trips. Consider speaking with your veterinarian about antianxiety medicines before you start traveling. If your pet gets car sick, consider travel-sickness pills and again, check with your pet's doctor for recommendations and dosages."
A poem from the Moonbathers:
Walrus, Great Walrus:
What can we say? We sent you a query and you saved the day.
Your response was faster than Super Man in flight.
Walrus, Great Walrus, you attacked it with might.
We now know why some flags fly at half-staff.
Your dogged reporting a credit to your craft!
Many thanks from, The Jamestown Moonbathers
We love those gals!
On that note, a note from Ann Zartler that reads:
"I forgot to write you last week to tell you how inordinately pleased I was that you took on this flags at half-staff issue. I have just been grousing. You, on the other hand, did something!!!! Thanks.
The fireworks were totally amazing. Thanks to you and the other Rocket Dawgz." We love Ann, too!
B.J. Whitehouse put his Rocket Dawg hat on to say that he's received inquires about names of fireworks shells.
You can link up to a Nova show that explains many of the shells and how fireworks work at the Rocket Dawg page: jamestownri.com/fireworks/ Boom!!
Tony Rafanelli wrote extolling the sportsmanship and attitude of the Jamestown team he managed in the West Warwick Friendship Tournament last month.
The team was made up of 8through 10-year-olds and was the only island team in that tournament. Three other Jamestown nines competed in the Cal Ripken Babe Ruth state tournaments.
Although winning only one of three contests against Apponaug, West Warwick, and Darlington, Tony praised the way the kids played and their attitude. "Our kids were having fun. You could see it in all three games. Even with the losses, they were still smiling. . . . What is even more significant, is that the tournament officials compliment us each year on our teams' character, enthusiasm and attitude. I.e., our kids are courteous and truly sports minded. Those compliments mean a lot to those of us who coach, and it's a credit to the players parents as well," Tony said.
In addition to Tony, the team was composed of Logan Bradley, Nathan Lambert, Brian Page, Nicolas Rienzo, Tim Archer, Robbie Semco, Ian Archibald, Drew McIntyre, Dan Irwin, Tyler Woodward, Kevin Babich, Matthew Rafanelli, Coach Rob Lambert, Coach Bill Page, Coach Andy McIntyre, Batboy Bruce Page, and Scorekeeper John Rafanelli. Rich Irwin, Dave Woodward and Matt Archer filled in as backup coaches and scorekeeper for the third game. Great job, guys!!!

When Connecticut author Wally Lamb's book, "She's Come Undone," gained national recognition in 1997 – after being featured in Oprah Winfrey's popular book club – there was a lot of talk about making the story into a film.
The movie rights were purchased, but seem to have since vanished into a cinematic black hole, Lamb said. An adaptation of the book did run briefly as a play at Seattle's Center House Theatre.
Now, however, another of Lamb's novels, "Wishin' and Hopin'," is definitely on its way to a theater near you. It is currently being filmed in local towns, including Norwich.
Produced by Connecticut-based Synthetic Cinema International, the...

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig killed 11 platform workers and injured 17 others, while resulting in what is the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. The rig, which was operated by Transocean Ltd. (RIG), was hired by BP plc (BP), the owner/operator of the well, in order to access the reserves of the Macondo Prospect in the Gulf of Mexico (Anadarko Petroleum (APC) is also a minority owner of the mineral rights for this prospect and may also face liability for the disaster). Within a couple of days, a large oil slick began to appear at the former rig site. Initially, BP and the U.S. Coast Guard expressed optimism that there would be little or no environmental impact related to the explosion; however, in the months since, this tune has changed drastically.
As of this writing, the U.S. government estimates that between 51 million and 145 million gallons of oil have been spilled into the Gulf, causing a slick of at least 2,500 square miles and immense amounts of oil that are not visible at the surface. Both the environmental and economic fallout are impossible to gauge at this point, but the damage is likely on the order of tens of billions of dollars. Indeed, BP has already spent nearly $4 billion attempting to clean up, disburse, and contain the spill. Further damage has been done to the Gulf's multibillion-dollar fishing and tourism industries, which have been hurt by a large-scale fishing ban and oil washing ashore along much of the Gulf Coast.
In an effort to manage the public relations fallout from the Deepwater Horizon disaster, BP has bought terms such as "oil spill" and "oil spill claims" on Internet search engines, such as Google (GOOG), Yahoo! (YHOO), and Microsoft-owned Bing (MSFT). As a result, whenever someone enters one of these phrases into an Internet search, BP's disaster-response page is the first link the user will see.
Over the past few years, the Internet has become an increasingly important part of the lives of many people around the world. The average person's response to a big news story is to conduct an Internet search to find more information. Thus, buying relevant search terms is becoming commonplace amongst Internet advertisers, since such practice often helps to increase companies' visibility on the Web. As the Deepwater Horizon event has played out over the past few months, millions of search results have become linked to the tragedy. Therefore, having your link at the top of the page becomes very important, particularly given the impact of, and interest in, the BP oil spill.
For a company like BP, visibility is not the end goal with an advertisement like this, as it is one of the world's largest corporations and already receives more than its fair share of ink. The company has stated that it purchased the search terms in order to make it easier for people looking to access impact and claims information on its website. BP has also added large red buttons on its homepage to draw attention to the claims and response sections related to the incident. All of this is part of the company's overarching strategy to reduce public outcry, while protecting its brand. Surely, if BP hadn't bought the search terms, someone else would have, perhaps a rival or a critic.
Clearly it's in BP's best interest to manage public response, and to portray itself in a good light. It is hard to run a successful business in which a large percentage of the population sees you as some sort of villain. While the company's critics may view such a thing as a bit Big Brotherish, it is likely to become standard operating procedure for companies dealing with a crisis. The selling of search terms will probably become typical for other important events, too, as companies attempt to take advantage of marketing opportunities and search providers endeavor to augment their revenue streams.
Although companies that provide search engines, such as Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft, are most likely to benefit from increased demand for targeted advertising in search results, contextual marketing can also help improve traffic to the websites of advertisers. Whether it is a large corporation seeking to exert greater control on its Internet brand, or react to a particular event, or a smaller venture seeking to build up its customer base, the purchase of search terms is likely to become a more important part of advertising. This type of marketing is cost effective, as the purchaser only needs to pay when its advertisements generate clicks, and tends to reach the types of customers that the advertiser is seeking, due to the use of targeted keywords.
We advise investors to pay closer attention to highlighted, sponsor links that show at the top of their search results. Knowing how companies are using the Internet to manage their brands can also reveal potential investment opportunities. In particular, smaller companies that can successfully use this platform to increase the scope of their business are likely to achieve strong growth.

A travel company in Denmark is encouraging Danish couples to go on holiday and have sex to increase a shrinking population.
The campaign "Do it for Denmark" is encouraging couples to travel and have sex because statistics say that Danes have 46 percent more sex on holiday, and 10 percent of babies are conceived while people are traveling. The birthrate in Denmark is at a 27-year low, and this is an effort to counteract that decline.
The company, Spies Rejser, is also offering an "ovulation discount," which will give people a discount if they can prove they had sex and got pregnant while on holiday. Danes looking to have children should consider booking a holiday.

Doctors might recommend therapy as a treatment for mental illness, and there is a wide array of therapy approaches.
Programs offered at Centegra's 24-bed behavioral health unit in Woodstock include art therapy groups, spirituality groups, nutritional education and exercise groups, said Lori Sullivan, clinical nurse manager for the unit.
Art therapy is a way for patients to express what is going on without talking, said Dr. Sheila Senn, vice president and site administrator for Centegra Hospital – Woodstock.
"Some people aren't as comfortable or as skilled expressing themselves verbally and so when you use different modes or mediums of expression, it can help people get to clarity or process through a particular issue," Senn said. "Someone might be more comfortable or able to draw out an experience than to talk about it. Somethings come through the drawings that you're not even aware of having a problem with, but they're there. ... For some people, it's even less threatening."
Centegra also has music therapy and even has patients try yoga.
"We want people to leave here with some coping skills, not just a prescription," Senn said. "One of the most important things we try to do is give people tools to stay well and cope with their issues."
In group therapy, patients share what they're going through and find they have experiences in common.
At Centegra, group therapy takes place in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Kevin Kloosterman, primary therapist with Centegra behavioral health, said each patient has the opportunity to share how their week went. He encourages them to share what's working, any coping tools they employ, and any barriers that are making it difficult to move forward.
When people first get into group therapy, they might not open up right away in front of strangers. Eventually, however, they do open up.
"They begin to trust the group, they begin to connect with the other group members and the staff. Most people will say group therapy has been very helpful for them," Kloosterman said. "Some will say it has been life-changing, because they're able to see things through the eyes of other group members they've never seen before."

Each year the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) surveys employers to determine the top 10 personal qualities/skills employers seek. Note that the list below emphasizes transferable skills. These are not found in any one particular job or major, but can be gained in a variety of ways including coursework, extracurricular activities, volunteer work, athletics, internships, group projects in the classroom. We strongly encourage you to participate in activities and jobs outside of the classroom to help you develop and strengthen these important transferable skills.
A good GPA is, of course, important but employers look at other attributes, too. Year after year, the number one skill employers say they want to see in job candidates is good communication skills: the ability to write and speak clearly. Employers also want new hires who have teamwork skills, problem-solving skills, analytical skills, and are tech savvy.
Ironically, communication skills not only top employers' list of most-desired skills, but also their list of the skills most lacking in new college graduates. Many employers reported that students have trouble with grammar, cannot write and lack presentation skills. Taking technical writing and public speaking courses, practice mock interviews, and going to etiquette or networking programs will offer a head start on these valued skills.
In addition, employers pointed to other skills and attributes that had made their "wish list," and cited those qualities and abilities as lacking in many new college graduates, e.g., relevant work experience, strong work ethic, team work skills, and the like. They also faulted new college graduates for not conducting themselves in a professional manner. What this means is, real-world experience before graduation is very important where a student can build many of the skills employers find lacking. An internship, for example, is not just an opportunity to gain experience, but it's also a setting to learn professional behavior, learn what it means to work in a team, and practice interpersonal communication. An internship or co-op position helps a student see the professional skills employers seek in action and how to fit into the world of work (source).

Obesity and Weight Management
What are Fast Carbs and Slow Carbs?
I would like to know what a fast carb or a slow carb is, and maybe list a few?
I'm going to have to guess that what you mean by fast carbs are carbohydrates that are quickly absorbed and metabolized by the body and raise blood sugar levels quickly; and slow carbs are carbohydrates that are absorbed slower and consequently are slower at raising blood sugar levels (and usually don't elevate it as high).
Fast carbs will be simple sugars (monosaccharides) like glucose and fructose, with disaccharides like sucrose (a glucose and fructose bound together) not far behind.
Sucrose is common table sugar and its many derivatives - brown sugar, powdered sugar, maple syrup, corn syrup, molasses and honey.
Fruit has a high fructose level, but does not always act like a pure simple sugar. This is because the absorption and metabolism of fructose is slowed by the fiber in the fruit.
Desserts and candy are good examples of fast carbs. Slow carbs would include starches and fiber, and foods that consist of a high amount of starch and/or fiber.
Fruits, vegetables, and grains (especially whole grains like oats, brown rice, whole wheat and others) are good sources of slow carbs because they are decent sources of fiber.

The late 1960s and the 1970s was an era of revolution in society as well as in the Church. There was a widespread misconception among many Catholics that the Second Vatican Council marked a break with "the old Church" and the birth of a "new Church." Almost overnight it seemed everything from the Latin Mass to religious habits for nuns to meatless Fridays throughout the year had been swept away. And the changes nearly never stopped.
Another victim of this revolution was Catholic devotional life. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, public recitation of the Rosary, novenas, Stations of the Cross, the annual Corpus Christi procession, the Forty Hours devotion — they all vanished in many parishes. Again, the Vatican II-inspired leadership within the Church in the United States — clerical, religious and lay — often put forward the argument that these timeless devotions were no longer suitable in the progressive post-Vatican II Church.
In 1971, the Benedictine monks at St. Vincent Archabbey in Pennsylvania began collecting data on the attitudes and religious practices of laypeople who came to the abbey for retreats, and the laypeople who led these retreats. The survey found that the retreatants favored traditional devotions such a Holy Hour, Benediction, Stations of the Cross and praying the Rosary at twice the rate of the retreat's leaders. In spite of their popularity, the time-honored Catholic devotions began to vanish from parish life in America.
Then came the papal election of Karol Wojtyla. When it came to traditional Catholic devotional life, John Paul led by example, beginning in his diocese: Rome. Every year he participated in a solemn Corpus Christi procession from the Basilica of St. John Lateran to the Basilica of St. Mary Major. On the evening of Good Friday, he led the Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum. His impressive record of canonizations put the veneration of saints back in the spotlight, and no one could miss his intense devotion to the Blessed Mother.
In 2002, John Paul published an apostolic letter, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, encouraging the faithful to return to praying the Rosary. "Simple yet profound," he wrote, "(the Rosary) still remains, at the dawn of this third millennium, a prayer of great significance, destined to bring forth a harvest of holiness." At the same time, the pope proposed a new set of mysteries — the Luminous Mysteries, also known as the Mysteries of Light — which focus on the years of Christ's public ministry.
He encouraged bishops to accommodate Catholics who were devoted to the traditional Latin Mass. He approved traditionalist religious communities such as the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter and the Institute of Christ the King, and he welcomed back to the Church traditionalist groups that had gone into schism. His purpose in all of this was to emphasize what was not only authentically Catholic, but also profoundly beneficial to the spiritual life of Catholics, while correcting the misconception that Vatican II had marked a complete rupture with the past.
Little by little, parishes began to revive the old devotions and traditions. Some parishes have even begun to restore their churches to their pre-Vatican II appearance. And after Pope Benedict XVI reaffirmed that priests can offer the traditional Latin Mass, the "old Mass," as it is often called, began to reappear in dioceses where it had not been seen in 40 years.
It was John Paul II who sparked this renaissance in Catholic devotional life. The Church is better for it and so are the countless souls who are growing in holiness as they pray these venerable devotions.
