Mission Statement
The Fellowship Training Program in Gynecologic Oncology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is designed to prepare highly skilled sub-specialists dedicated to the care of women with gynecologic malignancy, spanning the depth and breadth of the specialty. To achieve this, all educational experiences are supervised by board active faculty in Gynecologic Oncology in a supportive clinical environment capable of delivering comprehensive cancer care. Acquisition and development of research skills is an important component of the educational process and critical and analytic thinking are an expectation for completion of fellowship. The faculty of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology support the clinical and research missions of the Fellowship Training program by mentoring fellows to achieve future successes as clinicians, academicians and as national leaders in Gynecologic Oncology.
If you have any questions at all about the application process, or about our training program, please e-mail or call Jennifer Davis at 919-843-2077.
Program Curriculum
Seven board certified gynecologic oncologists (Wesley C. Fowler, Jr., MD, Daniel Clarke-Pearson, MD, John Soper, MD, Linda Van Le, MD, John F. Boggess, MD, Paola Gehrig, MD, Wendy Brewster, PhD MD and Victoria Bae-Jump, PhD, MD.) are all clinically active. All attending physicians normally supervise inpatient care on allotted rotations to assist in the clinical care of patients and the teaching of fellows. In addition, all surgical cases are staffed by our fellows, which provides a robust and diverse clinical volume and diversity of technique. In addition, we have structured an outpatient rotation within our fellowship that ensures that all new patient consults are conducted by our fellows in conjunction with an attending. Our faculty and fellows enjoy daily interaction and while there are formal teaching activities, learning and teaching are an integral component of all our daily activities. Our faculty members have outstanding reputations both regionally and nationally and are involved in all aspects of our discipline from research to policy, administration to education. These activities create for our fellows a rich academic culture that we are confident will help inspire future participation in our society after graduation.
UNC Hospitals includes a 708 bed main hospital, neurosciences, children's and a dedicated women's hospital. The N.C. Women's Hospital was opened in March of 2002 and is a beautiful, state of the art facility containing outpatient, inpatient and operating room facilities dedicated to women's health care. All of the Fellow's clinical experience occurs within this facility. With 22 inpatient beds and 6 operating rooms, the gynecologic oncology service has ample inpatient resources to provide comprehensive care to women newly diagnosed with cancer as well as to our patients needing adjuvant treatment and management of complications related to their disease. A fully staffed Emergency Room, three Surgical Intensive Care Units, one Medical Intensive Care Unit and a Cardiac Care Unit physically connected to the women's hospital provide all acute and intensive care needs for complicated patients. Our Fellows follow our patients into and out of the Intensive Care Units, which are open and therefore provide a collaborative patient care and learning experience. In addition, our outpatient gynecology oncology clinic is located in the same hospital providing a seamless connection between inpatient and outpatient services. Our clinic provides outpatient follow-up and new patient evaluation and serves as a walk-in evaluation clinic during daylight hours. In addition, we have a self contained, comprehensive outpatient chemotherapy infusion service within our gynecologic oncology clinic. With 12 infusion chairs operating 10 hours per day, 5 days a week, all outpatient chemotherapy administration for our division is performed in this facility. Renovations are underway at present to increase this area by 4-6 additional infusion chairs. While our division provides comprehensive surgical, medical and chemotherapy to our patients, we have the support of many outstanding clinical departments within the school of medicine including Surgical Oncology, Urology, Plastic Surgery, Radiation Oncology, Hematology-Oncology, Interventional Radiology and Pathology.
The gynecologic oncology program offers the trainees an abundance of oncology patients with a variety of clinical and surgical problems. For the period January – December 2006, there were 668 admissions to the Gynecologic Oncology service for a total of 3,037 hospital bed days. There were 601 patients who presented with new invasive gynecologic lesions and 98 patients seen for recurrence. There were 827 major surgical procedures performed by the Gynecologic Oncology Service last year.
Outpatient Gynecology Oncology Service: During both clinical years (year 1 and 3), each fellow rotates in the gynecology oncology clinic every third week. The clinic fellow is in clinic all day on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and they have standardized clinic patient visit templates that include new cancer patient evaluations, return patient visits and chemotherapy patient exams. Two attending physicians are assigned to clinic each day and are immediately available to answer fellow questions and assist with patient assessments. In addition, all new cancer patient work-ups are conducted by the fellow along with an assigned attending physician and treatment plans are discussed and decided together. In this way, essentially all new cancer patients seen in our practice are evaluated in the clinic with a fellow and they are involved in all treatment decisions. We currently average over 90 new patient referrals every month, meaning that each fellow will evaluate over 700 new gynecology oncology patients over the course of their two clinical years.
To ensure experience with continuity of care, the clinic fellows are scheduled an average of eight return patients each clinic. During these visits, the fellows are responsible for performing post-operative assessments, monitoring response to chemotherapy and radiation treatment, managing side effects from chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, and monitoring disease status. As with all clinical activities, two attending physicians are physically present in clinic at all times to assist the fellows with decision making. The fellow assigned to clinic also participates in triage of walk-in patients in conjunction with our clinic triage nurse. During the last 12 months, we saw a total of 13,880 clinic visits as a group. The fellows are, therefore, given an ample exposure to the depth and breadth of outpatient clinical scenarios in gynecology oncology.
The final learning opportunity for our fellows while rotating through our clinic is in the area of chemotherapy. As a division, we oversee all chemotherapy infusions within our gynecology oncology clinic. We have eight infusion chairs currently, and will shortly be expanding to thirteen. The gynecology oncology chemotherapy clinic is staffed by four full time infusion nurses who delivered over 2,600 infusions during the last calendar year. Our fellows are involved in all aspects of the chemo-infusion clinic including triage of patient labs, evaluation and treatment of side effects, and exams for monitoring response to treatment. Their resources for learning include our well trained and experienced nursing staff, the two attending physicians assigned to clinic each day as well as four full time nurse clinicians, who follow all of our cancer patients under active treatment.
When taken as a whole, our fellows are given an outstanding exposure to outpatient gynecologic oncology. The clinic fellow does not have any responsibility for the inpatient service, does not make rounds and does not take service call. This ensures balance in their schedule, assures compliance with duty hours, and gives a needed opportunity for independent study when not needing to focus on the demands of a busy clinical service. Furthermore, the clinic fellow is free from all clinical responsibilities every Wednesday, which is reserved for research and administrative time. Wednesday afternoons are protected for didactic learning as well as Departmental and Divisional academic activities.
Our clinic fellow's performance is evaluated by each attending formally as part of the bi-annual evaluation process, however, development as a clinician is assessed daily. Direct feedback is given as part of the teacher/learner interaction that occurs over each new patient visit. This provides an excellent mechanism for the Faculty to assess a fellow's development and ability to earn independence and increased responsibility.
Inpatient Gynecology Oncology Service: Two fellows are assigned to the inpatient gynecology oncology service on a rotational basis at all times. One fellow is designated as "on call" and is primarily responsible for the overall organization and delegation of responsibility of care during the week they are on rotation. In addition, the "on call" or "A" fellow is responsible for conducting weekend rounds and taking home call for the week assigned to the service. Fellow "B" serves in support of the "A" fellow in covering operating room cases and assists with rounds and the day-to-day responsibilities of running the service. Morning rounds are conducted daily and are attended by both fellows, the residents and medical students and are organized by the "A" fellow. Daily treatment plans are established for each patient on the inpatient service and in the ICU when relevant and all questions are reviewed with the Surgical and Consult Attending assigned to cover the inpatient service for the week. A second "teaching rounds" is conducted every evening with the Attending covering the service for the week. In addition to reviewing the treatment plans for each patient, teaching rounds serve to provide didactic teaching opportunities in the context of the patients being cared for on service. Fellows are given increasing independence as the fellowship progresses with respect to decision making and patient disposition. The fellows have attending backup on all decisions throughout the day, however, as they demonstrate competence, the fellows increasingly make more and more independent decisions. In addition to overseeing daily patient care, the inpatient fellows take transport and referral calls from other clinical services in-house as well as from regional referring physicians and hospitals.
Operating Room Experience: Both fellows assigned to the inpatient gynecology oncology service attend all surgical cases. Currently, we have on average seven operating room starts/week for gynecologic oncology cases. In the last twelve months, our service conducted over 820 operative procedures. This means that each fellow will participate in over 500 operative cases during their clinical fellowship. All surgical procedures are attended by a gynecology oncology faculty member. As the fellows' experience and ability evolves, fellows are granted increasing responsibility both as primary surgeon as well as teaching surgeon in the context of resident participation. All of our faculty are versed in the procedures outlined in Guide to Learning in Gynecology Oncology. As a division, we routinely perform gastrointestinal as well as urologic procedures in the context of cancer care as well as plastic soft tissue reconstruction. In addition, we have outstanding collaborative relationships with surgical oncology, urology, plastic surgery and interventional radiology. Our fellows benefit from their surgical consultation when appropriate. All surgical training is centered around patient safety and outcomes. With seven attendings, the fellows are exposed to a diverse spectrum of surgical techniques for treating disease.
In addition to traditional surgical technique, our division has a robust minimally invasive gynecology oncology program. Incorporating both laparoscopic and robotic techniques, our fellows are taught all aspects of minimally invasive hysterectomy and staging for gynecologic malignancy. At the beginning of the first clinical year, focus is given to teaching the fellows how to perform simple hysterectomy and oophorectomy either laparoscopically or robotically and the fellows assist with radical hysterectomy and pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection. As the fellows demonstrate an understanding of anatomy and technique and basic minimally invasive skills, they are instructed in laparoscopic and robotic lymph node dissection and radical hysterectomy. We feel that by teaching open and minimally invasive techniques simultaneously, the fellows gain a greater understanding of technique, surgical planes and 3 dimensional thought as it relates to surgical treatment of disease. Over the last 12 months, our division performed over 335 laparoscopic cases, including 147 hysterectomies and 117 lymph node dissections and performed over 120 robotic cases including simple hysterectomy, radical hysterectomy and pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection.
Given that our fellows are involved in all new patient work-ups and follow all of our patients after surgery on the inpatient rotation, they receive a true 360 degree education in surgical management of gynecologic malignancy.
Surgical Intensive Care Unit: The fellow is assigned to a one-month rotation in the SICU, and 100% of time is spent in clinical activity. Dr. Renae Stafford, Director, Surgical Intensive Care Unit, coordinates this rotation and oversees the supervision and evaluation of the fellow. Learning objectives for the rotation are outlined in the Guide to Learning in Gynecology Oncology. In brief, the fellow performs as a member of the SICU team, and is responsible for the admission, evaluation, and management of critically ill patients, under the supervision of the assigned Surgical or Anesthesia attending. Emphasis is placed upon ventilator management, sedation, venous access procedures and physiology of the critically ill patient. The fellow participates in lectures given to the surgical residents assigned to the SICU, and is assigned night call as a SICU resident.
Radiation Oncology: Each of the clinical fellows rotates one day a month on the radiation oncology service. Under the direction of Dr. Mahesh Varia, the fellows directly participate in the outpatient radiation oncology clinic and evaluate both new and return patients, participate in treatment planning and are instructed in all aspects of radiation therapy for the gynecologic patient. The objectives during these rotation days come directly from the Guide to Learning in Gynecologic Oncology. Fellows become familiar with treatment planning, dosimetry, the physics of radiation therapy, simulation, brachytherapy, placement of vaginal tandem and ovoids, assessment of treatment response and management of radiation related side effects. By integrating their radiation oncology experience throughout their fellowship, as opposed to one concentrated block, we feel that the fellows will assimilate more knowledge as they will be following the care plans of most of the patients on our service that are being treated with radiation. By becoming integrated members of the gynecologic radiation oncology service, our fellows receive an outstanding education that cannot be learned solely from a book. Dr. Varia has been directing gynecologic oncology radiation services for over 20 years at UNC. In addition to his excellent clinical acumen, Dr. Varia is an active participant in the Gynecologic Oncology Group and an author on several past and currently active protocols.
Pathology: Each of our clinical fellows spend one half day per month on the gynecologic oncology pathology service. Under the direction of Dr. Debra Budwit, the fellows work directly with one of three gynecology specialty trained pathologists to review all gynecologic oncology surgical cases from the week prior. Specific attention is given to diagnosis, clinical behavior, histologic analysis, and immunochemical analysis. By structuring the rotation this way, our fellows are typically reviewing the pathology material from the patients that they operated on the week prior. Our division conducts a treatment planning disposition conference every Wednesday afternoon where we review all surgical cases from the week prior. The cases the fellows review in the morning are presented in the afternoon in the context of treatment planning. Therefore, they get to learn the work-up in clinic, the surgical technique in the operating room, the pathology diagnosis at the microscope, the treatment options in conference and then implement those treatments on the ward and in clinic. In addition to the week's clinical cases, a comprehensive teaching file exists and is used to ensure that the fellows achieve the pathology objectives as outlined in the Guide to Learning in Gynecologic Oncology. Lastly, our pathologists generously provide our fellows with a comprehensive review of gynecologic oncology pathology towards the end of their fellowship which serves as an excellent preparation for their written and oral board examination.
Dysplasia Clinic: In order to provide our fellows experience with the diagnosis and treatment of pre-invasive neoplasia of the genital tract, we have each clinical fellow rotate every three weeks for half a day in a formal dysplasia clinic. Over the two clinical years, this provides each fellow a total of 34 clinics. We currently see over 1,000 dysplasia clinic visits per year where all pre-invasive abnormalities are evaluated, from ASCUS to carcinoma-in-situ. In the course of treating dysplasia in the last twelve months, the fellows participated in 84 LEEP procedures and performed over 50 cold knife cone biopsies, 45 laser procedures for the ablation of pre-invasive genital lesions and condyloma, and over 22 simple excisions of pre-invasive genital lesions. The fellow is instructed and evaluated on their proficiency at the comprehensive evaluation and management of all pre-invasive genital conditions and their learning objectives are outlined in the Guide to Learning in Gynecology Oncology.
Clinical/Basic Science
During the first year of clinical fellowship, first year fellows along with the faculty explore the fellows' research interests. The fellows are given clinical projects ranging from chart reviews and case reports, to review articles and book chapters to help stimulate their interest in academic productivity. These activities most often result in publication and participation in national meetings giving the fellows the opportunity to "taste" success and to help focus their interests. The fellows are provided time on Wednesdays to pursue their clinical research projects. It is the expectation of each fellow that they identify a mentor among the faculty who will help them formulate a thesis within the first six months of fellowship. The faculty mentor does not necessarily need to be the individual who will conduct the research with the fellow, but is responsible for making sure that the fellow stays on task throughout their three years and ensures that the fellow graduates with a suitable thesis in order to satisfy their board requirements. The fellowship director reviews and documents the fellows' progress toward completion of their thesis at each biannual evaluation meeting and helps the fellows triage their ongoing research commitments to prevent them from being over committed and to maximize productivity.
During the second year of fellowship, the fellows are assigned eleven months of protected research time. During this year they do not have any clinical responsibilities. [They will have an additional day of protected research time per month during their clinical years (year 1 and 3).] We feel there are distinct advantages to having our fellows complete a year of clinical work prior to initiating their research year. First, the fellows are able to become integrated into a new environment and hospital system. They are able to develop an area of interest and research plan during the first clinical year so that they can be more productive during their research rotation. Fellows can compete for funding sources the year prior to beginning their projects. Lastly, the fellow is able to get a break from the intensity of clinical service, which we feel enhances their productivity when on service. Dr. John F. Boggess and Dr. Paola A. Gehrig serve as the basic science research coordinators. They share 500 square feet of lab space in the MacNider Building, which is adjacent to the academic offices. Dr. Chunxiao Zhou is an MD/PhD with a particular interest in women's cancers and works full time as a Research Associate within the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. This laboratory is fully equipped to perform all aspects of molecular biology, immunohistochemistry, and cell culture. Utilizing our faculty's status as Lineberger Clinical Cancer Center Members, we also have full access to all core facilities at the Cancer Center. Dr. Zhou has developed mature research collaborations with several other laboratories at Lineberger and we collaborate with other members of the cancer center, in particular faculty from Medical Oncology (Dr. Young Whang, MD, PhD) and from the Department of Pathology (Dr. David Kaufmann, MD, PhD). Our fellows have full access to this laboratory and are able to continue with current projects being conducted as well as develop their own hypothesis and complete their experiments with the constant availability of Dr. Zhou.
In July of 2007, Dr. Victoria Bae-Jump joined our division as a full time faculty member. Dr. Bae-Jump has a Ph.D. in pathology and will be participating in a K12 mentored research program with the goal of developing her into an independent investigator capable of running basic and translational research within the division of gynecologic oncology. Both the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have agreed to provide the resources necessary for Dr. Bae-Jump to be successful. We believe that Dr. Bae-Jump is an important addition to our program and has significantly enhance our fellow's research experience.
Research: Masters in Public Health
Fellows who choose this track use the 12 months of dedicated research time to attain a Masters in Public Health. A faculty advisor within the University of North Carolina's School of Public Health is assigned who solicits a mentor for the fellow and designs curriculum which will satisfy the requirements for a degree of Masters in Public Health. The research year is then dedicated to completing the assigned coursework relevant to the discipline chosen by the fellow (Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Health Behavior/Health Education, Public Policy, Public Health Leadership). The fellow also completes a Masters Thesis as part of this degree program, supervised by the School of Public Health faculty mentor.

I liked this book because the bun could run. My favorite part was when the fox did something to the bun. I thought it was scary. This book reminded me of the Gingerbread Boy. Instead of the boy, there was a bun. The bun ran away just like the Gingerbread Boy.
I think everyone should read this book. If you like funny books about rolling buns, read this book. It is funny.

What a great shot! You always take such great photos. :)
Thank you Stitchy. This one was taken through the windshield of the car. I cropped it a little, and the buggy ended up off-center, which makes it look like I was standing in the ditch.
It's a good thing you don't see the photos I delete. Trust me -- they're not all great! :D
The editing of photos always make me think of what God does with each of us...the picture down here might not be all that great, but when we get to Heaven...we've edited out quiet nicely. :)
CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.

Yeah Toph is by far my favorite character because she's just cool and...well you know....
I think the fights at the end of season one was awesome, the ones at the north water tribe. That had the best action sequences to me. :P

I forgot that one from The Chase, that was fantastic to see them all united against the bitch Azula. I hope we see more of that in the finale. The other one that springs to mind was in the Swamp where Katara and Aang fight that swamp monster, that was another good one as I recall (and a well done homage to Mononoke Hime too.)
I love some of the quirky humour in the show, especially that epileptic fit guy on Kiyoshi Island. And when they go back there in the second season as he has another fit, but the realises Aang isn't with them and sneaks away all embarrassed. Toph's jokes about her blindness beat them all though ;P

It is nice that we can talk about Avatar on AS, we all know that you cant count this as Anime but I have to tell you, it is much better than 80% of Anime they showing right now. I fell in love with this series when they first showed it on Nick and I hope that they can contiune it this series.
BTW, Sokka dont have 3 girls, he has three and highly possible and Aang look good with hair, Toph is my second favorite character behind Aang and I like Katara and Ty(Tai) Lee.

Yeah the swamp fight and the chase was also excellent. The water bending sequences from Katara in the swamp is truly fantastic to me. It's probably my favorite type of bending, since you can also manipulate ice for many uses and it looks cool.
For me it's not better than 80% of all anime but probably better than 80% of all action/adventure anime. This is because my favorite genre is still romance/drama, but Avatar managed to made action interesting again, which was really not accomplished ever since the first seasons of Naruto/Bleach.

The discussion of what is Anime is pointless. Avatar is an American show with Asian influence animated by people from Korea. It doesn't exactly have the "look" we expect from anime, but it's not exactly typical American animation either.
What it does have is quality animation and a distinctive look, balanced by an excellent story with strong characterization, a great soundtrack, and a solid balance between comedy, drama, and action.
So enough of discussing what it isn't, or what it compares to. It's just a wonderful show that many fans, anime or not can enjoy.
On that note - Sparky Sparky Boom Man scares me, Zuko needs to get a grip, Aang needs more sleep, Sweat bending is ewww, and the scene with Momo and Appa fighting was completely awesome.

Never knew there was a thread about Avatar: the last airbender. I actually enjoy this show and watch it once in a while. While it is American made with the inspiration of anime in its designs, its pretty good and I consider it to be the American version of "Naruto", in my opinion.
Maybe because of the different villages and fighting styles.
But I have one question for this show with its recent season. I have watched I think the second episode of the newest season of Avatar and Aang has hair!
When did he start to grow hair?

Well, Avatar took it to where many thought Nick would never let it go - bloodbending. It's the logical extreme of waterbending and probably as close as you can get to an ultimate weapon in that world. Possibly the darkest Avatar ep so far.

Fantages Studios is re-opening for business after a long and unexpected period of inactivity. Our last major project was back in 2003 with the Wrestle RPG based on the rules of the d20 System and d20 Modern games by Wizards of the Coast. In the intervening years, we have been working on a variety of different projects, though we do not yet have anything ready for release. Until we have something ready for official release, here are are current and future plans and product lines.
Wrestle RPG
Wrestle is back and based on a new system we are tentatively calling the W20 system (or Wrestle20). It derives ideas from Columbia Games HarnMaster system and Green Ronin Publishing True20. It features a skill development system that does not use levels, but instead allows a player to develop his wrestler organically in the direction he sees fit.
Truerth Campaign Setting
The Truerth Campaign Setting has existed as a shared networld from the late-90's pre-D&D 3rd edition days. In 2005, we acquired the original source materials and became the sole developer of the world. In that time, development of Truerth has seen a variety of changes and internal revisions The version that we are developing contains 3 campaign settings or realities within 1 world.
An event in Truerth's distant past caused the core reality to split into 3 distinct and separate alternate realities. Rya'mier, which is a gritty low-fantasy world where magic is rare or limited in some capacity. Darkfire, which is an epic high-fantasy world where magic and powerful creatures and even gods roam the land. Finally there is Truerth or the True Reality from which Rya'mier and Darkfire derived from. The world of Truerth takes a middle road approach to the effect of magic. Magic is less accessible than on Darkfire, but more powerful and plentiful than on Rya'mier.
The Intention with this three-in-one campaign setting is to be able to explore a variety of different ideas from the more mundane, but still interesting adventuring opportunities to the more epic high level adventures, without having to physically create and populate two or even three unique worlds or campaign settings. All three realities of Truerth share common events, but each reality may have had a different cause or trigger to such event. Regardless of what events occur in which reality, the end result is mirrored in each.

Release Date: January 6th, 2011
International: February, 2011
We fetishize the exotic peacock as a symbol of extreme beauty, raging against everything simplistic. New Kissable Lipcolour combines full flash with creamy comfort. Mega Metal Shadow gleams like chrome – yet is creamy, crease-resistant, with vitamin-fortified flexibility. Dramatic doesn't begin to begin to describe the girl who knows she's Peacocky.
Spring isn't quite here yet, but that shouldn't stop any of us from flaunting our beauty with a little help from the MAC Peacocky collection. I love the imagery of the collection name. Peacocks are beautiful and bold. They know what they want, but they don't chase after it. They make what they want come to them simply by displaying their beauty.
MAC's Peacocky Collection offers two limited edition products, Kissable Lipcolour and Mega Metal Shadow. The eyes and the lips are my two favorite features to enhance and MAC seems to help us all do it so well. I do wish this collection included a brush or two for application of the Mega Metal Shadow. Any time there is a new eye product, I am never quite sure which brush will work best. I guess experimentation is the way to go.
The shadow appears to be a powder, but with a texture that is creamy and smooth so you don't see creases. I am curious to know if it is truly crease-resistant and what the texture of the Mega Metal Shadow is overall. Another thing to note is that the Mega Metal Shadows come with more product, containing .11 oz. The regular eye shadows MAC offers contain .5 oz. The Mega Metal shadow is more expensive than the eye shadows, but it's not even double the price and you are getting more than double the amount of product.
The Kissable Lipcolour looks interesting as well. Anything with the word kissable in the title tends to intrigue me. They are all vanilla scented which is one of my favorite scents. So for me, that is another plus. The product is supposed to go on with the ease of a lipgloss, but have the finish and strength of a creamy rich lipstick.
I tend to buy lipgloss more often than lipstick because I like the application process better so I am excited to try this product. There are definitely those times that you want the finish look of a lipstick. I often feel more like a flirty little girl with lipgloss, but lipstick makes me feel like I am ready to do business in the boardroom. If this product can offer me both feelings, I will be sold.
I am most intrigued by the Kissable Lipcolour Vanity Fair. I am not sure if I will actually like it, but I am curious to know how a color can be a midtone blue pink. I don't usually wear blue on my lips, but I do usually wear pinks so I want to know what this color will look like on. We all know that not every color looks the same on everyone. What are the colors you want to see on you?

Kim Dotcom Threatens To Sue Google, Facebook And Twitter Over 2-Factor Authentication Patent If They Don't Help Him
from the hmmm dept
But... he says he may sue them now. Specifically, he's asking them to help fund his defense, in exchange for not getting sued for the patent. He points out that his actual funds are still frozen by the DOJ and (more importantly) that his case actually matters a great deal to Google, Facebook and Twitter, because the eventual ruling will likely set a precedent that may impact them -- especially around the DMCA. That's actually a pretty good reason for the tech industry to think about participating in the case even if they don't like Dotcom at all and don't want to be associated with him. Bad cases make dangerous caselaw, so having a good defense would be useful.
That said, the threat of suing over a patent if they don't fund his defense seems like a potentially poorly thought out strategic move that could backfire. Remember, Dotcom has been hit with racketeering claims, and I would think that anything that implies "give me money or I'll sue" isn't the best move for someone already facing racketeering charges.

Snickers Makes Fun Of Effeminate Men By Shooting Them
Using codes of masculinity to sell products to guys is nothing new, but it's usually about beer, "hard lemonade" or deodorant. It's also usually funny, and pokes fun at male insecurities while celebrating them. A new Snickers commercial, however, seems to just be about beating the crap out of sissies.
It opens on a guy in bright yellow shorts sashaying down a sidewalk. He's speedwalking. Suddenly a truck comes roaring over the houses and smashes onto the street beside the man. Mr. T is in the back of the truck behind a Gatling gun. He yells at the man to stop speedwalking: "You a disgrace to the man race!" he shouts. Then he fires candybars at the man, and the man dances around on the sidewalk in fear and takes off running. The tagline: "Snickers. Get some nuts." (You can watch it here.) Yum! Now when I want to satisfy my hunger and think about shooting down a mincing, nutless homo in suburbia, I'll know what candy bar to buy! Thanks, Snickers!
Bob Garfield at the magazine Ad Age wrote an open letter last week to the CEO of Omnicon, the ad corporation responsible for the spot, accusing him of using "dehumanizing stereotypes" and "jokey violence" in of all things a candy commercial.
This letter is to you, but it is equally to your colleagues throughout the industry. Are you so bereft, of ideas and simple humanity, that you must be reduced to stereotyping and bullying? That you must identify an "other" to ridicule, or worse? That you must build a brand on the backs of people who have harmed no one save for challenging a high-school locker-room standard of masculinity?
He points out that Omnicom says it practices corporate responsibility by "ensuring that we use our position to promote socially responsible policies and practices and that we make positive contributions to society across all of our operations." Then why, in a candy ad that you assume is at least partially targeted to children, would you go this route? Garfield points out that it's not just about anti-gay attitudes, or more broadly about gender roles and what's "okay" for one sex or another. It's really about attacking people who are different or seen as weak:
You don't have to be gay to be the target of macho aggression. If you are slight, or weak, or meek or odd. If you don't like football or groove on Liza. If you read books. If you drive a Neon. If for any reason you don't fulfill the masculinity expectations of the bully, you are therefor[sic] a faggot and: ridiculed, berated, laughed at, marginalized, stuffed into a locker, beaten up, murdered. Ass-wiggling speedwalker = faggot. It's code. Likewise sweater-draped poodle walkers who squeal "oooooooh!" This kind of ad, which normalizes and even incites contempt or worse for the supposed faggots, is therefore homophobic whether the runner is gay or not.
Some Ad Age readers have commented that Garfield is being too politically correct and that it's all in good fun. After all, it's not a crime to offend someone. At the very least, one of them argued, kids today don't have the same anti-gay culture of past generations.
Is this true? I'd love to hear from Consumerist readers who are, say, in their early twenties or younger: has bullying based on codes of masculinity abated in recent years? Is that sort of behavior really a thing of the past? Because if it is, good for humanity—but I wonder if a Snickers ad that shows a pop-culture icon firing a large gun at a big ole' sissy is teaching kids it's time to bring it back.
But enough about that cheery world of high-school—the real question, writes CV Harquail on her blog Authentic Organizations, is why a global corporation that claims social responsibility would produce a spot that undermines its promises to do good.
What I don't understand about the responses to Garfield's letter is that so few people are focused on holding Wren accountable for aligning his organization's actions with its words. Why is this?
Striving for authenticity, for alignment between who you say you are, what you believe about yourself, and how you behave as an organization, is the responsibility of the organization's leadership.
And responsibility for being authentic is not confined to leadership: Keeping behavior aligned with the organization's statements of purpose, vision and value is the responsibility of every employee. The people at Omnicom know this– it's right here in Omnicom's Code of Conduct statement:
Our reputation depends, to a very large measure, on you taking personal responsibility for maintaining and adhering to the policies and guidelines set forth here. Your continued cooperation in this regard is appreciated.

Community Recycling Center kicks off PET thermoform recycling program
ST. MARYS - The Elk County Community Recycling Center, located in the Stackpole Complex in St. Marys, officially kicked off their polyethylene terephthalate (PET) thermoform plastic recycling program on Wednesday, holding an open house to educate residents about PET thermoforms as well as other materials that are able to be recycled through the facility. According to Community Recycling/Solid Waste Coordinator Bekki Titchner, PET thermoform plastic is something that "just about everybody runs into." "It's a clear container mostly, and they are clamshell containers. They have a #1 and the chasing arrow symbol on them," Titchner said. The Community Recycling Center is part of a national pilot project to encourage PET thermoform recycling, particularly in rural areas.

Somatoform pain disorder is pain that is severe enough to disrupt a persons everyday life.
The pain is like that of a physical disorder, but no physical cause is found. The pain is thought to be due to psychological problems.
The pain that people with this disorder feel is real. It is not created or faked on purpose (malingering).
Alternative Names
Pain disorder
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
In the past, this disorder was thought to be related to emotional stress. The pain was often said to be "all in their head."
However, patients with somatoform pain disorder seem to experience painful sensations in a way that increases their pain level. Pain and worry create a cycle that is hard to break.
People who have a history of physical or sexual abuse are more likely to have this disorder. However, not every person with somatoform pain disorder has a history of abuse.
As researchers learn more about the connections between the brain and body, there is more evidence that emotional well-being affects the way in which pain is perceived.
The main symptom of somatoform pain disorder is chronic pain that lasts for several months and limits a persons work, relationships, and other activities.
Patients are often very worried or stressed about their pain.
Signs and tests
A thorough medical evaluation, including laboratory work and radiologic scans (
Somatoform pain disorder is diagnosed when these tests do not reveal a clear source of the pain.
Prescription and nonprescription pain medications often do not work very well. These medications also can have side effects, and may carry the risk for abuse.
Chronic pain syndromes of all types can often be treated with antidepressants and talk therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a kind of talk therapy, can help you deal with your pain. During therapy, you will learn:
- To recognize what seems to make the pain worse
- To develop ways of coping with the painful body sensations
- To keep yourself more active, even if you still have the pain
Antidepressant medications also often help with both the pain and the worry surrounding the pain. Commonly used antidepressants include:
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), fluvoxamine (Luvox), citalopram (Celexa), and escitalopram (Lexapro)
- Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), such as venlafaxine (Effexor), desvenlafaxine (Pristiq), duloxetine (Cymbalta), and ilnacipran (Dalcipran, Ixel, Savella)
- Tricyclic antidepressants
Some patients may not believe that their pain is connected to emotional factors and may refuse these treatments.
Supportive measures that also can be helpful include:
- Distraction techniques
- Hot and cold packs
- Hypnosis
- Massage
- Physical therapy
- Stress reduction exercises
Support Groups
People with this disorder may benefit from treatment at pain centers.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outlook is worse for patients who have had symptoms for a long time. Your outlook will improve if you can start doing your previous activities, even with the pain.
Seeking out a mental health professional who has experience treating people with chronic pain has been shown to improve outcomes.
- Addiction to prescription pain medications (if they are not used correctly)
- Complications from surgery
- Depression and anxiety
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you or your child experiences chronic pain.

The Parents' Page and the Youth Page are no longer available to the general public
After three years of cooperation with the volunteer-run Parents' and Youth Page staff, the Ann Arbor District Library is now ready to shoulder the burden, and has therefore assumed responsibility for hosting an equivalent service. Unfortunately, it has also adopted a new proprietary policy, insisting that material to which it claims copyright is no longer to be licensed for public use or distribution. Libraries that have adopted or adapted any of the AADL book lists should take note. Questions about this policy or requests for specific links and/or features in the new service should be directed to the AADL SysAdmin, Gary Pollack (firstname.lastname@example.com). In keeping with the wishes of the library, the original pages, containing as they do much material to which the library lays claim, are no longer offered to the general public.
Nevertheless, an archived (and now obsolete) version of the original pages remains accessible to individuals who have asked or have been asked to view them as samples from the web-development portfolios of the designers. You know who you are.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Search and Delete
Getting this mission will involve, at some point, Roman calling you and inviting you to his friend Bruce's place over on Delaware Avenue on the west side of Broker. However, when you arrive, Roman isn't there. After getting old Brucie to come out by roughing up one of his mechanics, the ever-friendly Bruce gives you what appears to be a tough job. It involves whacking a few people that are in hiding (because they recently testified against people). The first leg of doing this job involves stealing a police car and using the computer to find these people.
You've likely stolen a police car or two by this point in the game, so you'll understand fully that it comes with incredible risk. You may be lucky enough to find a cop car parked on the road with no cop cars around, in which case you can simply break in, hotwire the car, and be off. But chances are you'll have to mess with a cop, and maybe even kill one or two, to get a cop to abandon his car long enough for you to jump in it. We'll leave this part up to your imagination, but once you get a cop car and it's in good shape, make it your absolute top priority to lose the heat so we can continue.
When you've lost your wanted level (which could be a bit of a challenge considering you're in a cop car and probably have killed some cops to get it), Niko will call Brucie and the next leg of this mission will begin. You'll be told to access the cop car's computer (which can be done following the on-screen prompts) and to look for a guy named Lyle Rivas. So, look for him. You'll find out that he hangs out in Broker (more specifically, on Asparagus Avenue). Have the computer send the information to your GPS. You can then abandon the cop car for more inconspicuous, less destroyed vehicle.

Obama issues new policy for selling arms abroad
President Obama issued a policy Wednesday that for the first time expressly states that the United States should not sell military equipment to countries so unstable that they might ultimately turn the weapons against us or our allies.
Obama's "presidential directive" is an update of a 1995 policy directive aimed at setting written guidelines for sales of U.S. military hardware overseas. The Clinton White House unveiled the policy with an announcement noting the United States had sold about $12 billion worth of military hardware to foreign governments in 1994, "close to our historical average."
In 2012, the Pentagon reported foreign arms sales of $69 billion. Tuesday, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced two arms sales — a $2.43 billion dollar upgrade of Singapore's fleet of F-16 fighter jets and a $1.13 billion Israeli purchase of six tilt-rotor V-22 aircraft. Last year, the Pentagon sold billions of dollars worth of equipment to emerging regimes in Iraq and Libya.
Obama's "Conventional Arms Transfer Policy" repeats many of the goals and criteria of Clinton's arms sales guidance — advancing U.S. security; considering the impact on the U.S. defense industry; promoting "interoperability" of military equipment with allies — but the new guidance adds a more specific concern about exactly who the United States sells weapons to.
Obama's policy requires officials to consider "the risk that significant change in the political or security situation of the recipient country could lead to inappropriate end-use or transfer of defense articles."
A second new criterion mandates consideration of "the likelihood that the recipient would use the arms to commit human rights abuses or serious violations of international humanitarian law, retransfer the arms to those who would commit human rights abuses or serious violations of international humanitarian law, or identify the United States with human rights abuses or serious violations of international humanitarian law."
For example, the United States suspended delivery of four F-16s to Egypt last year after the Egyptian military overthrew the democratically elected government of President Mohammed Morsi.
Obama's guidance makes more explicit the focus on counterterrorism efforts. A fact sheet accompanying the policy directive explains that the update "highlights the importance the United States places on key factors such as respect for human rights, international stability, homeland security, counterterrorism, combating transnational organized crime and supporting non-proliferation."
Anthony Cordesman, a former senior Pentagon official and longtime military policy analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the new guidance, like much of U.S. defense policy, "is all concepts and no specifics." Cordesman notes that the directive covers such a wide range of goals, including boosting human rights and combating "transnational organized crime," that it is impossible to know exactly how the criteria might be applied in any specific case. The guidance is another example, he said, of how "the United States is constantly confusing concepts with strategies."
Vanessa Allen Murray, a spokeswoman at the DSCA - which manages foreign military sales under the direction of the State Department - said in an email, "the new announcement is not a change of direction, but rather an update to ensure that doctrine reflects current practice,"

"Now that the dust has settled after Stephen Elop's big announcement on the 11th February 2011, many have come to realise that actually Nokia's move towards a a new Ecosystem is not as bad as what they thought. [...] But what does all this mean for the Nokia Developers? When the proposed partnership with Microsoft was announced, many felt betrayed and worried about their future, but after having heard and assisted a number of workshops at the Nokia Developer Day at this years Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, earlier this month, their outlook towards the new ecosystem has taken a 180 degree turn and are now looking at the proposed partnership with a lot more enthusiasm, recognising the potential it will bring them in the coming months."

Me too! I specifically bought in a neighborhood with NO Homeowner's Association. Not gonna have some nitpicky nosy SOB dictating to me what I should be doing and how I do it. I'm ok with the local ordinances which are a little restrictive- keep grass reasonably cut; can't keep chickens etc... but that can be considered normal. You really have to f'up to get a ticket. What they are strict about is building code compliance on new construction and renovations.Pretty sure though the cops might pay me a visit if I were to brew in the driveway. Probably just to see what it was and would leave me alone after that.
homeowner's associations bahhumbugi am a fan of Duck dynasty and last night one of the boys had to go to the HOA because he was burning leaves on his driveway and had skinned a deer on the tailgate of his truck when kids were getting off the school bus. so you boil and boil and boil Pee Wee, you boil
God, I LOVE that movie! Good to see ya taking it to heart.
That was a great episode. The HOA meeting was hilarious. "I brought a casserole!" I was telling my wife that I would love to have that entire family as my neighbors. Would never be a dull moment, that's for sure!

A friend of mine CJ Wood brought this up to my attention 2 weeks ago about seeing a Funnel Cloud southeast of Centreville, MD on the 30th of July. he happen to catch some photos with a cell phone. The setup was that a single cell form over the Chesapeake Bay and moved SE over his area while driving. His photo's showed a funnel like figure coming down out of the cloud and then dissipate. his exact words following. " i saw the funnel cloud coming down and kept growing torward the ground and then dissipate going into a rope stage". he did call me at the time of this to check on the radar. was a fairly small storm but at 1 point it had suitable rotation that came up and then died pretty quick next frame. At this point i narrowed it down to 3 possibilities. In fact it was a funnel, a very convincing scud cloud, or a tail cloud. you decide!
Heres the photos he shot with a cell phone camera.
this one shows alot went on with the formation of this cloud
heres a saved radar loop of the storm. wasnt able to get a storm relative velocity loop sorry

The drive-in! Yes! And Bay Shore Roller Rink, and that gorgeous movie theatre in downtown Bay Shore that should have been made into a landmark instead of turned into a YMCA. I also remember people pitching tents in their backyards in the summer, and the kids sleeping (safely) in them. Walking home safely from the bus stop without risk of abduction. Glass bottle milk deliveries. Redwood pools. Pool parties. Tap/ballet classes at Oak Park Elementary after school.

Brentwood will never ever be the same. It has been taken over. I remember, I think it was Food Fair, by the old Brentwood theatre, used to be Grants department stores in the shopping center.
I lived in Bayshore, which also used to be beautiful, lived right between Spur drive and Candlewood road, where Bohacks used to be. My grandmother would come every weekend from Queens to stay with us, and shop at Bohacks. The manager was a nice Polish guy, and him and my grandmother would talk Polish to one another.
That's why I left NY. My town was invaded, and life will never be the same. There was a time when if you came from Brentwood or Bayshore, you were considered wealthy.
#16 May 28, 2007
Hilltop Lane, Candlewood Road, Commack Road, Spur Drive north and south.
Anyone remember Charlies Hotdogs on Spur drive, right after Islip avenue??? Had the truck in front of his house. I think Hess was the gas station on the corner.
#17 May 28, 2007
I went to Oak Park Elementary School!!
Those were the real good old days. I went
to South Junior High, and then to Ross.
You just got me thinking about alot of things from my childhood!!
Remember those carnival trucks that used to go up and down the streets, with those little spinning cars and you could ride for 25 cents??
Anyoen remember that??

Crazy, Houses going for 250 thou when they were 69 thou. My nana came from Brooklyn every weekend to stay with us. Then she moved in with us. I remember Bohacks. John's Bargain store? I remember those rides but the cars we rode in for a quarter went all the way back and up again. We were wealthy, Lexy, we lived through a world that no one else will ever have to privledge of knowing about and it made us into wonderful Long Islanders! I loved Brentwood market, their meats were incredible, their sausages, the Bellachicco italian breads. Italian ices, rainbow and lemon flavors. One slice 25 cents, the oil dripping down your arm, even with the paper wrapper. Finast supermarket had the best chocolate crescent cookies. Bayshore Marina for the best fire works.
#19 May 28, 2007
Oh Vee, such wonderful memories!! I even remember the South Shore Mall, before it became enclosed! I have to go now, but will be back tomorrow. I really am enjoying this forum, and sharing memories.
It's funny, my dad would go every Saturday morning to the Brentwood Market, at like 7am for fruits and vegetables and to chat with all the neighbors. They did have the best of everything.

Tomatoes 4 pounds for one dollar. I was there at least once a week with my mom and nana. I remember the mall before it was closed in, too. And Baraccini. The farmer's market across the street, where I was every single weekend and the pickle guy in there, made the half sour, wow!Indian nuts, I bet you never even heard of them. On Rt 111, near Dairy Queen there was a farm stand, I would go every weekend and buy up their corn on the cob, I could never get enough of it. I miss the farm stands like that. I could not believe it when Yellow top closed down. I remember when D Q went chocolate and gave Carvel a run for their money. Hansel and Gretle cold cuts was the rage. Remember Korvettes? Fortunoffs? We bought that crappy Veg O Matic in there after watching the demonstration.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 21, 2008) - The ETSU baseball team is set to open the 2008 season from Plainsman Park in Auburn, Ala. on Friday at 4 p.m. EST. The Bucs will play a four game series against
2008 Season Outlook
Coming off a disappointing end to last season the Bucs will look to turn things around and have a strong year in �08. The Bucs are returning several starters from last year including All-Conference selections Anthony Russell and Danny Petro as well as outstanding pitcher Brandon Langston.
This year's team features a very young squad loaded with talent as head coach Tony Skole and his staff brought 11 new players to the team. Key additions include junior Nick Belcher who transferred from
Freshman All-American and A-Sun All-Freshman Team selection Danny Petro returns as the starter for the Bucs behind the plate. The
The catching position is the deepest slot on the team and Coach Skole will use many of his options behind the plate this season.
Freshman Derek Trent will also see substantial time at catcher for the Bucs. Trent, one of the top high school catchers in the country, is a local product from the Tri-cities area.
The Bucs will have two experienced back-ups in Bubba Herbold and Jon Edmonds. Herbold has spent the past three years with ETSU and has made 50 appearances in a Buc uniform.
Preseason Wallace Watch candidate Anthony Russell will be the starting first baseman for the Bucs. The senior led the Bucs in batting average (.335), hits (73), doubles (19), homeruns (10), slugging percentage (.560), total bases (122) and RBI (44) a year ago. Freshman Paul Hoilman will backup Russell at first base and adds quality depth.
Junior college transfers Chris Rankhorn and Nick Belcher will be expected to sure up the middle for the Bucs. Both are new to ETSU, but bring a lot of experience and have been very successful in their careers prior to coming to ETSU.
Red-shirt freshman Bart Roark is the likely candidate for the third base position. Roark had a good offseason and has gotten stronger with his work in the weight room.
The Bucs have plenty of depth in the infield with junior Ben Allen and freshman Chas Byrne. Allen made 44 starts for ETSU last season, and will be battling for one of the starting spots throughout the season. The
The Bucs outfield will have a new look this season as junior Jacob Fabry will be the leader as he earned the start in center. Fabry broke his way into the starting lineup for the Bucs late last season, and has played at a high level. Fabry has all the tools to be a dominating hitter for the Bucs this season.
Sophomore Ryan Self will take over right field. The
Freshman Derek Trent will be starting in left for the Bucs when he is not behind the plate.
Troy Mendez, Matt McGahey and Chas Byrne will provide depth for the Bucs. Mendez is developing into a solid college hitter who has played a lot for ETSU. McGahey has a ton of potential to be a big time contributor, and Byrne has the tools to play well in the outfield as well. The Bucs have a very athletic outfield and provide a lot of strength at those three positions.
The Bucs will be looking to Brandon Langston to be the "Ace of Staff" again this year and will be the Friday night starter. Langston won six games last season and will be expected to set the tone for the Bucs each week.
The other roles in the rotation will be decided week to week. ETSU returns seniors Jimmy Tidwell, Robbie Campbell and Matt McGahey as well as junior Darren Caldwell. They are all experienced pitchers who had a
Several new faces will help support the Buc bullpen. Additions of junior college transfers Ty Sarchet, Dustin Plumlee and Ben Andrews will add experience and depth of the ETSU pitching staff. The Bucs will also have several talented young arms in sophomore Drew Story and freshmen Bo Burton, Josh Means, Chas Byrne and Paul Hoilman all in the mix for starting the available starting jobs. Coach Skole is confident that the newcomers on his pitching staff can step in and make an impact.
Skole's 2008 Outlook
You have averaged 29 wins the last four seasons and this is the first time in 25 years that this has happened. Do you now feel like the momentum has turned for the baseball program and that there is finally a baseball tradition being built at ETSU?
"Building a tradition in baseball at ETSU that our players, alumni and community can be proud of has been a major goal of ours from day one. I'm excited about the direction of our program and what the future has in store for us. No individual, team or business just wakes up one day and all of a sudden they are automatically successful. It takes a lot of effort, hard work, preparation and most importantly you must have the resources. When I first arrived at ETSU we were definitely lacking in resources in every area. But now, thanks to the support of our President, Dr. Paul Stanton and our Athletic Director, Dave Mullins we are fully funded. Our program has a very solid foundation and now we must do everything in our power to be the best we can possibly be, every single day we come to work."
As you continue to improve and build that tradition, how does it affect your team goals going into the 2008- campaign?
"I don't want to make it sound like we're sitting around the office every day talking about going to the College World Series every year because I know just how hard that is to do. But if you don't talk about it and dream about it and work everyday to be the premier college baseball program in the country, it's definitely never going to happen. If you let yourself listen to people who are always telling you that you can't do this or you can't do that, then those people will be right if you believe them. Our goals are always the same. Win the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and advance into the NCAA Tournament. Once we are in the tournament, obviously everyone's goal is
Your program had a school-record five players drafted in the 2006 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft (Shane Byrne, Steven Calicutt, Jeremy Hall, Chuck Hargis and Stephen Douglas) and CJ Lee was drafted by the Atlanta Braves last season. What does their draft status mean to this program's reputation regionally and nationally?
"One of the areas which our staff takes a lot of pride in is the development of our players. In development I am talking about our players not only reaching their potential as athletes, but also as people. This group of young men is a great example of this. None of these young men had ever been drafted before. The opportunity they now have to continue their playing career is a great testament to their hard work, dedication and commitment. Of course they all are extremely talented, but improving their abilities was very important to these young men and their hard work paid off for them. What is even more gratifying is the quality of young men they have become. They are all great kids who can handle themselves appropriately no matter what the situation may be. Obviously having these players drafted has brought national recognition to our program. Recruiting wise it is already starting to pay dividends."
After a strong first half last season, the second half did not go as well. What changes have you made to try to regain that positive momentum?
"Obviously we have to get that positive momentum back and I feel we have done that over the fall and winter. The second half last season was very difficult for all of us close to our program, and as much as we would like, we cannot go back and change it. But we definitely can use it as a learning tool to try to make sure it doesn't happen again. This game can really humble you very quickly and how our coaching staff and program responded this fall and winter was of the utmost importance. In college baseball no matter how many players you have returning, each team is different from the one before. This year's team is completely different. Of the 25 young men on this year's squad, we have 13 returning players and 12 new players. The change and development of our returning players along with the influx of our new players has given our program a new identity. We still have a lot we want to accomplish. Our team has high expectations this season and every year we want to continue to raise the bar. But this ball club is very different from last year's team. We have a great mix of returning talent with some really good new players."
Looking at the Atlantic Sun Conference in 2008, the defending champion Stetson is back with many returning players. What other teams do you see contending for conference supremacy this year, and how do your Bucs fit into that mix?
"Once again I believe the Atlantic Sun Conference will be very strong. You have to be ready to play good baseball every weekend or you will get smacked in the mouth. Until someone can knock Stetson off the thrown, they will be the team to beat.
Looking at the schedule�
"Our schedule this year will be the most challenging and demanding schedule we have ever had at ETSU. I would anticipate our strength of schedule to be in the top fifty in the country this season. Our non conference schedule is very tough and the Atlantic Sun conference weekends are always a dogfight. Out of our last 22 games, 14 of them are at home and hopefully this will be the time of year where we will be playing our best baseball. Opening the season at

New Delhi: BSP supremo Mayawati on Sunday fired a salvo at the Akhilesh Yadav government saying law and order had failed completely in Uttar Pradesh reducing it to "crime pradesh", charge rubbished by the Chief Minister.
"The UP government has failed badly on law and order front. Now Uttar Pradesh has become not 99 per cent but 100 per cent crime pradesh," she told reporters here.
The former Chief Minister said people of Uttar Pradesh have realised the mistake of voting Samajwadi Party to power.
"If you go to any district of the state and ask the common people, they will say we have made a big mistake. We have voted the wrong party to power...The BSP government was far better," she said.
Stung by the remarks, the Chief Minister said in Lucknow that his government was serious on law and order front and those involved in illegal activities would not be spared.
"SP government in the state is continuously reviewing the law and order and those found involved in anti-social activities would not be spared and strict action will be taken against them," Yadav said in a statement.
Hitting back at BSP, he said the party did not have any issue and was upset over the popularity of the state government due to which Mayawati was making "baseless allegations" against it.
Meanwhile, Congress saw nothing wrong in Mayawati`s description of Uttar Pradesh as "crime pradesh".
"I agree," was the cryptic remark of Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh, who is incharge of party affairs in Uttar Pradesh.

North Korean Propaganda: Now With More Elder Scrolls!
from the oblivion-or-oblivious? dept
Well, North Korea is back at it, with another odd video, with all the effeminate flame animations you've come to expect and text that I sure as hell can't read. With that said, I'm sure the text says something about how the North Koreans have developed the latest in orc technology and elven code systems, being as how they decided to use the soundtrack for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to set the mood.
I'd like to take this moment to offer a small bit of advice to my friends in Pyonyang. If you put a video out on YouTube to tell the rest of the world how crazy awesome powerful you are, so much so that you're going to smash America, part of that video should be to demonstrate that you can come up with an inspirational tune. I mean, if you can't even put together something like Call Me Maybe, it's kind of difficult to take your plans for our destruction seriously.
In the meantime, hey Bethesda? You guys want to DMCA this or are you laughing as hard as I am?

Japan Animal Tsunami Warning System Involves Pets' 'Sixth' Sense (VIDEO)
Japan is considering a tsunami warning system that involves analyzing the erratic behavior of animals as a predictor of incremental weather conditions.
In the past, long before officials were able to predict a coming natural disaster, animals have often fled to safety. It is believed the animals may have more acute senses that allow them to feel the vibration of the earth long before the actual incident occurs.
Yoshihito Myojin, the deputy mayor of Susaki, which lies on Japan's coast, is now considering using the animals' sort of sixth sense as a tool for predicting when a tsunami might occur.
"They may not foretell a future disaster in a perfectly accurate manner, but the most important is to analyse such data thoroughly," Myojin said according to a regional broadcaster last month.
Before a large tsunami struck Sri Lanka in 2005, a number of animals began to act strangely and seek cover.
"Elephants screamed and ran for higher ground, dogs refused to go outdoors, flamingos abandoned their low-lying breeding areas, and zoo animals rushed into their shelters and could not be enticed to come back out," the National Geographic reported.
Just before the Japan tsunami occurred in April of this year, a number of people also reported erratic animal behavior. Some animals sought out higher shelter while others became anxious or distressed.
Geologist James Berkland told PBS during a television interview that he has been accurately predicting earthquakes for the past 31 years; his method involves looking through the lost pet ads. According to Berkland, the number of pets that go missing dramatically spikes just before a storm hits. In 1989 Berkland successfully predicted the World Series Quake, reporting it to the local paper days before the disaster occurred.
Japan may now utilize a similar tactic, in addition to monitoring drops in water levels at wells.
