Commencement Recap
More than 900 students received undergraduate degrees as their friends, families and loved ones filled the Westside Athletic Complex stadium on Sunday, May 18, for WestConn's 110th commencement. Farooq Kathwari, chairman, CEO and president of Ethan Allen Interiors, told the graduates that "The new world has brought us many opportunities and also the potential for many conflicts. Globalization has raised the expectations of people all around the world — and if the expectations are not reasonably met, we will have more conflicts. And today, conflicts even in faraway places impact our lives here at home." Kathwari, a noted humanitarian and advocate for peaceful coexistence, was awarded a Doctorate of Humane Letters, honoris causa.
At a separate graduate commencement ceremony on Friday, May 16, in the Feldman Arena of the William O'Neill Athletic and Convocation Center, 236 students received graduate degrees. Fifteen educators received the university's first doctoral degrees: the Ed.D. in Instructional Leadership. State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal was the commencement speaker.
As important as the actual degrees received are the feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction experienced by our graduates. Whether they enrolled at WestConn upon graduating from high school, after a stint at a community college or other university, or after decades in the workforce — every member of the Class of 2008 had something to celebrate at commencement.
This year, for the first time, graduates were able to tangibly express their appreciation for the support they received from friends and loved ones with the Stole of Gratitude. The white scarf-like garments adorned the gowns of several hundred graduates during commencement ceremonies before being presented in appreciation to loved ones. It's a new tradition that's expected to continue and grow.
To follow are highlights of commencement weekend, in images, audio and narrative.

Fjord Trends 2018
Physical Fights Back
Organizations must create new services that are deeply integrated in the physical world.
Computers have eyes
Organizations can benefit from cameras built into a greater variety of devices to create new value-adding digital services.
Slaves to the Algorithm
Algorithms, indifferent to branding efforts, are performing the role of gatekeeper between consumers and brands.
A Machine's Search for Meaning
The perceived threat to jobs is the rise of AI and robots. Organizations must enable people and machines to get the best out of each other.
In transparency we trust
Falling trust in key institutions has compounded the issue of authenticity, while blockchain offers a potential solution to this trust crisis.
Ethics economy
Organizations have started to take political stances on issues of general concern—driven by customers' and employees' expectations.
Design outside the lines
Design is being challenged by: proliferation of design thinking, demand for products to be scaled fast, and potential of emerging technology.
Over the past 5 years, much emphasis has been placed on creating experiences delivered through digital screens. As a result, people spent more time interacting via device than in person. Fuelled by lower costs, a shift is underway in technology fuelled by growing angst about "screen addiction". A growing number of primarily digital brands are now placing greater emphasis on physical presence while making the most of digital and data to improve experience.
Fjord suggests
Digitization has made cameras smarter, both in terms of what they can capture (their eyes) and what they can do with it (their brain). Today's intelligent digital cameras can "eye capture" data points, and visual data can be inputted, read by computer vision, analyzed and acted on without needing text inputs. Sharper eyes and smarter brains are making computers more and more human-like, while the relative affordability of camera technology now means they can be put into any device.
Fjord suggests
With the emergence of new interfaces—messaging, chatbots, voice—powered by Artificial Intelligence, customers have new ways to explore their discovery mechanisms. As the algorithms behind those interfaces become ever more powerful, their impact on marketing grows exponentially. Algorithms don't notice (nor do they care about) branding efforts, celebrity endorsements, or publicity campaigns. If there is no longer a physical place where a brand might exist and come to life for consumers, how will brands connect with shoppers?
Fjord suggests
Concern is growing about the jobs robots might take over or make obsolete, but the rise of the robots does not accurately reflect the true impact Artificial Intelligence and machine learning will have on the workplace. However, while some jobs will be replaced, new jobs will be created. Furthermore, realization is growing that machines are becoming "another type of user," and focus is shifting from looking beyond potential competition between people and machines, towards harnessing their combined strengths.
Fjord suggests
People's trust in key institutions is crumbling. One way to help combat this is by using blockchain, which reverses the lack of transparency by allowing you to see where a piece of information has come from. This is why it's already being used in financial services and a growing number of other industries. Blockchain is inspiring and powering a new generation of digital services.
Fjord suggests
Organizations find themselves in a new environment where they are realizing that they cannot duck broader issues beyond the traditional Corporate Social Responsibility agenda and they cannot just be reactive. More recently, customers have demanded that brands do the right thing, such as quickly owning up when they make a mistake. This shift has coincided with a decline in people's trust and faith in governments, and has created an opportunity for organizations to step up.
Fjord suggests
The proliferation of design thinking blurs the distinction between novices and experts, and the increasing demand for products to be delivered and scaled fast, is crippling the creativity of design. The result is products that sometimes lack simplicity, elegance, personality and—ultimately—craft, all of which should be significant selling points of design. Additionally, the impact of mobile and social platforms on design means some are prescriptive in their approach, leading to too much lookalike design, too little aesthetic innovation.

Thoracic outlet syndrome is a rare condition that involves pain in the neck and shoulder,
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Blood vessels and nerves coming from the spine or major blood vessels of the body pass through a narrow space near your shoulder and collarbone on the way to the arms. Sometimes, there is not enough space for the nerves topass by or through the collarbone (clavicle) and upper ribs.
Pressure (compression) on these blood vessels or nerves can cause symptoms in the arms or hands. Problems with the nerves cause almost all cases of thoracic outlet syndrome.
Pressure may happen if you have:
- An extra rib, above the first one
- An abnormal tight band connecting the spine to the ribs.
People with this syndromeoften have injured the area in the past or overused the shoulder.
People with long necks and droopy shoulders may be more likely to develop this condition because of extra pressure on the nerves and blood vessels.
Symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome may include:
- Pain, numbness, and tingling in the pinky and ring fingers, and the inner forearm
- Pain and tingling in the neck and shoulders (carrying something heavy may make the pain worse)
- Signs of poor circulation in the hand or forearm (a bluish color, cold hands, or a swollen arm)
- Weakness of the muscles in the hand
Signs and tests
Your doctor or nurse will examine you and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms.When you lift something, your arm maketurnpale. Sometimes the following tests are done to confirm the diagnosis:
- CT angiogram
MRI Nerve conduction velocitystudy X-ray
Tests are also done to rule out other problems, such as
Physical therapy is often used to treat thoracic outlet syndrome. It helps:
- Make your shoulder muscles stronger
- Improve your range of motion in the shoulder
- Promote better posture
Your doctor may prescribe pain medicine.
If there is nerve pressure on a vein, your doctor may give you a blood thinner to dissolvea blood clot. This will help reduce swelling in your arm.
You may need surgery if physical therapy and changes in activity do not improve your symptoms. The surgeon may make a cut either under your armpit or just above your collarbone.
During surgery, the following may be done:
- An extra rib is removed and certain muscles are cut.
- A section of the first rib is removed to release pressure in the area.
Bypasssurgery is done to reroute blood around the compression or remove the area that is causing the symptoms.
Your doctor may also suggest other alternatives, including
Expectations (prognosis)
Surgery to remove the extra rib and break up tight fiber bands may ease symptoms in some patients. Surgery can be successful in more than half of patients. A few patients have symptoms that return after surgery.
Complications can occur with any surgery and depend onthe type of procedure and anesthesia.
Risks related to this surgery include:
- Damage to nerves or blood vessels, causing muscle weakness
- Lung collapse

RVIA/RVDA Support National Forest Coalition
September 20, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on RVIA/RVDA Support National Forest Coalition
The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) and Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA) have joined 69 outdoor recreation organizations in the Coalition for Recreation in the National Forests to urge the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service to allow more outdoor recreation on lands controlled by the agency.
With the Notice of Intent announcing the planning rule process giving scant attention to the issue of recreation, the large and diverse group of recreation organizations wrote to Forest Service Chief Thomas Tidwell to express their collective concern and to request a meeting for the purpose of explaining their concerns and offering specific recommendations for rule revisions, according to a news release. As a result of that letter, a meeting with Tidwell and top agency leadership will take place on Sept. 27.
"The recreation community position is clear," said Richard Coon, RVIA president. "Recreation is a key use of national forests under several federal laws. Further, recreation is a primary contributor to the economic viability of communities throughout the nation. And, finally, outdoor recreation in national forests is also an important factor in overcoming lifestyle threats to our national health caused by lessened physical activity."
The recreation community is also calling upon the Forest Service to include in the rule direction to national forests to be more proactive in managing recreation, and in seeking out partners able to assist in managing and enhancing recreation – including state agencies, organized recreationists and businesses. This proactive approach would reduce needless and inappropriate conflicts among recreational activities in the forests resulting from inadequate planning and management.
For further information on this issue, contact American Recreation Coalition (ARC) President Derrick Crandall, who is heading up the Coalition for Recreation in National Forests, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (202) 682-9530.

HARTVILLE, S.C. – King put four players in double digits scoring, led by Jason Seymore's 14 points, in Saturday evening's conference game at Coker College.
King (13-4, 8-3) held a lead over the Cobras for nearly the whole first half, losing the advantage with just five seconds left when Teon Beckett hit a three pointer to give Coker a 32-31 lead. King's biggest lead came 4:41 into the game when guards Michael Fortune (Beckley, W.Va.) and Jordan Steele (Knoxville, Tenn.) hit threes in consecutive possessions as part of a 10-2 run out of the gate. The Tornado flirted with a six-point lead that lasted until the final two minutes of the half. The Cobras finished the frame scoring seven of the eight points with Beckett's three with five seconds remaining closing out the frame and giving the hosts their first lead of the game, 32-31.
Coker's run had not concluded until their lead had reached seven points, 44-37, nearly six minutes into the second half. Andrew Morris scored the first point of the second half with a three following a big offensive rebound by Sharod Williams. A second offensive rebound later in the frame led to another three by Bryce Arnott as part of a 19-6 Coker run that spanned 7:16 over both halves.
The second half featured both teams posting near-identical numbers, offensively. King made one more field goal in the second half (13) than the hosts while both teams hit six threes. As well as King had shot in the second half (.500), the major difference came in free throw attempts and makes. The Tornado committed 17 fouls in the second half, leading to the Cobras being sent to the free throw lines 22 times. Coker went 17-for-22 from the charity stripe, outscoring King from the line 17-7. Bryce Arnott went 11-for-14 alone from the free throw line, scoring 14 points in the latter frame.
With free throw shooting serving as the largest factor in their second-half breakaway, Coker defeated King 79-70, Saturday evening. Jason Seymore (Powell, Tenn.) led King with 14 points while adding only two rebounds. He was one of four players in double figures scoring, joined by Michael Fortune (11), Logan Lyle (10), and Drew Standifer (10).
Standifer, a freshman from Knoxville, Tenn., shot 4-for-5 in a reserve role while adding four rebounds. Fellow freshman Malcolm St. Louis (Lebanon, Tenn.) was one point away from joining them in double-figure scoring (9) and led the team with seven rebounds.
King shot 48 percent from the field as a team in the loss, bested slightly by Coker's 50 percent from the field. The Cobras also outshot the Tornado from beyond the arc, hitting 10-of-18 (55.6 percent) of their long-range shots. Coker was led by Bryce Arnott's 16 points, 14 coming in the second half. He was one of four Coker players with 10 or more points, including Andrew Morris (13), Teon Beckett (13), and Errick Bethel (11).
King will play its second straight road game in Tigerville, S.C. at North Greenville University on Jan. 30. The Tornado and Crusaders will tip off at 7:30 p.m.

She does not know what awaits her at the enemy's gate.
Elisa is a hero.
She led her people to victory over a terrifying, sorcerous army. Her place as the country's ruler should be secure. But it isn't.
Her enemies come at her like ghosts in a dream, from foreign realms and even from within her own court. And her destiny as the chosen one has not yet been fulfilled.
To conquer the power she bears, once and for all, Elisa must follow a trial of long-forgotten—and forbidden—clues, from the deep, hidden catacombs of her own city to the treacherous seas. With her go a one-eyed spy, a traitor, and the man whom—despite everything—she is falling in love with.
If she's lucky, she will return from this journey. But there will be a cost.

The FISH Food Bank got a helping hand on Thursday — actually, many helping hands. Five 8th grade girls from Hood River Middle School who organized last month's Hands Across the Gorge event, in which 200 middle school students from around the Gorge linked hands across the Bridge of the Gods to raise awareness about hunger, spent the afternoon at the food bank helping pack food bags.
But before they started, the girls handed over to FISH organizers an envelope containing $3,462.68. The money is part of nearly $5,000 students from Hood River Middle School, Wy'east Middle School, Cascade Locks School and Wind River Middle School in Stevenson raised in donations connected to the Hands Across the Gorge event. The remaining money will be divided between the Cascade Locks Food Bank, a food bank in Skamania County and the Hood River Christmas Project, which gives holiday food baskets to needy families.
"We are very blessed," said Irene Best, Fish Food Bank coordinator.
Katie McMasters, one of the 8th grade organizers of the project, said she and the other girls had not expected to raise so much money for the food banks.
"In the beginning, we thought we were going to raise about $2,000," she said. "Then it just expanded."
The girls — which, along with McMasters, included Sierra Geddis, Justine Campbell, Dani Lichty and Julie Hazlett — spearheaded the project as part of teacher Jack Sprague's Making a Difference class. They organized every aspect of the project, from coordinating the 200 students who joined hands on the Bridge of the Gods near Cascade Locks on Oct. 24 in a symbolic connection to the needy to seeking donations for the area food banks.
"The girls did everything," Sprague said.
With Thursday's cash infusion, and local generosity, the FISH Food Bank is well stocked for the holiday season, according to Best.
"We're in wonderful shape," she said. "We couldn't be better. Thanks to the community, something comes in almost every day."
McMasters and her fellow project organizers will graduate from middle school at the end of this school year and head to high school. But they hope to continue what they started this year with Hands Across the Gorge.
"We want to make this a yearly thing," McMasters said.
The FISH Food Bank is open for distribution Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 to 5 p.m. It is located in Concordia Lutheran Church at 11th and Pine streets in the Heights.

I have so much to thank Bill Gates for: introducing me to the baffling joys of consumer computing with Windows 95; teaching me the meaning of fear and dread with Windows 98; leading me to the sunlit uplands of Windows XP; getting me out of Microsoft altogether with the arrival of Vista. I hardly know where to start. And if I hadn't flown into a high-minded anti-Microsoft, down-with-Bill-Gates fury at the start of this year, would I ever have stumbled upon ZenWalk? I doubt it.

By David Moltz at Inside Higher Ed
To some observers, the case of Thomas Thibeault sounds "Kafkaesque."
Last month, the English professor at East Georgia College was dismissed for an unspecified sexual harassment charge two days after he complained to the administration that the institution's related policy did not contain any protection for those who are falsely accused. Though Thibeault has formally appealed his firing to the University System of Georgia's Board of Regents and requested that the charges against him be specified, the personnel matter has remained at a relative standstill for weeks. In an attempt to pressure the institution into reinstating him, Thibeault has been working with the Foundation for Individual Rights in Higher Education, a group that widely publicized the case Tuesday and has sent a condemning letter to East Georgia's administration.
On August 5, during a faculty meeting about the institution's sexual harassment policy, Thibeault protested to Mary Smith, the college's vice president for legal affairs, that the policy in question was "flawed" when she admitted that it did not contain a provision that he said could "protect the accused against complaints which are malicious or … ridiculous." Wary of the policy, Thibeault believed that Smith was explaining to his colleagues that "feelings of the offended were proof of the offensive nature of the behavior."
Though Smith and all other East Georgia officials did not return calls for comment about incidents relating to Thibeault's case, Thibeault chronicled an anecdote he posed at the faculty meeting to illustrate what he thought might constitute a "ridiculous" complaint.
"Last week two students were talking to me in the hallway after class," Thibeault wrote in notes of the meeting he provided to FIRE. "One student said that she didn't want to go to a professor's office because he looked down her cleavage. The woman was wearing clothing that was specifically designed to draw attention to her cleavage. She even sported a tattoo on her chest, but I didn't get close enough to read it. The cleavage was also decorated in some sort of sparkly material, glitter or dried barbecue sauce. I couldn't tell. I told the student that she shouldn't complain, if she drew such attention to herself. The other female student then said, and I hope you're not offended by her actual words, 'if you don't want anyone looking at your titties, I'll lend you a T-shirt. I have one in the truck.' The first student then said, 'No. I'm proud of the way I look.' I left the conversation at that point."
According to Thibeault's logic, it would be an unjust accusation for someone to make a sexual harassment complaint about his interaction with these students in this anecdote.
Building the Case
The day after the divisive faculty meeting, Adam Kissel, director of FIRE's Individual Rights Defense Program, said a number of Thibeault's colleagues were called into the office of John Black, East Georgia's president. He believes they were brought forth to the administration "in order to help Smith build a case for getting rid of [Thibeault]." Among the items in "Smith's dossier against Thibeault," Kissel said, was a book he had given a faculty colleague entitled, An Encyclopedia of Ass-Holes, Scumbags, Slimeballs, Sleazoids, Lowlifes, and Jerks etc. Kissel, however, argues that the book has nothing to do with sexual harassment and called this a "mind-blowingly silly example … of judging a book by its cover."
Thibeault also relayed to Inside Higher Ed a story he told a few of his colleagues in the break room at which some may have taken offense.
"Something I said at an academic conference a few years ago could have been construed that way," Thibeault said. "Three years ago, I was reading a paper at an academic film conference about 'Gone with the Wind.' The basic thrust of my argument was that, by the end of the film, the male lead becomes a woman and the lead female becomes a man. Someone in the audience shouted out, 'So, it's all about pussies, right?' And, I said, 'In a way, you're right. It's all about pussy.' I was relating that story to my colleagues and it may have come up here three or four years later."
Thibeault, however, does not believe that either the case of the book or his recollection of this story constitute sexual harassment. He said he has not done anything approaching sexual harassment and noted that he only brought up the concern about the policy to protect others.
"I wasn't thinking of myself question I questioned the policy," Thibeault said. "I realized these procedures could be used at any time to hurt any one of us [faculty]. Also, I've seen other people forced out over false accusations. I didn't speak out because I was trying to watch my donkey or any other part of my body. I'm not ashamed of anything I've said at all. I'm not a sexual harasser."
The Dismissal
Two days after the faculty meeting, Thibeault was called into Black's office for the meeting at which he was fired; Smith was also present. In a letter detailing the events of the meeting,Thibeault writes that he was told by Black that he "was a divisive force in the college at a time when the college needed unity." Further, he notes that Black demanded his resignation by 11:30 a.m. that morning or his "long history of sexual harassment would be made public" and he would be fired. In particular, he notes that Black said he "long history of sexual harassment which includes smutty jokes, foul language, obscenities, and innuendo."
Still, despite protestations from Thibeault that the charges against him be enumerated, Black and Smith refused, noting that the campus police chief would be there to escort him from the premises if he did not vacate by the given time. Given his options, Thibeault refused to sign his resignation and had to be removed from the campus.
Days later, Thibeault received a letter from Black, noting that since he had failed to resign by the given deadline that the "dismissal proceedings" had begun, and "a faculty committee has been appointed to conduct an informal inquiry." During this time, Thibeault had still not been informed of the specific charges against him and was still banned from campus. Kissel said that he believes Black sent this letter to attempt "to justify Thibeault's firing after the fact" once he realized "he had fired Thibeault without due process mandated by Georgia's Board of Regents."
Finally, August 25, Black sent another letter to Thibeault, informing him that "the committee's finding was that there is sufficient evidence to support your suspension," not calling it a "firing." Black also writes that Thibeault was to be dismissed for sexual harassment and that he could request a hearing to protest the move. Three days later, Thibeault sent a letter requesting a hearing and a copy of the charges against him. Weeks later, he has still yet to hear a response from the college and his charges remain unidentified.
Thibeault maintains that he was dismissed for retaliatory reasons.
"All I know is that I was fired because I opened my mouth," he said. "Black told me I was 'a divisive force in the college when we needed unity,' as we're going through the reaccreditation process right now. Unity, in this case, means not speaking out against the administration. In my mind, this is retaliation because I stood up for my self and the rest of the faculty."
Even before speaking out at the faculty meeting last month, Thibeault said, he has been critical of the administration. Last year, he filed a grievance over what he thought was an unfair performance review. Also last year, he filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) complaint against the college for allegedly denying him tenure because he was not an U.S.citizen; Thibeault was born in Canada and grew up in Northern Ireland but immigrated to the United States several years ago with his wife, who is a U.S. citizen. He said, however, that his EEOC complaint became moot after he and a group of full-time, non-tenure faculty members were granted blanket tenure-track status. He believes these other run-ins with the administration might have also provoked them to retaliate.
The Fallout
Despite this very public case, Thibeault still has many supporters among his students and colleagues. Tyler Yeomans, a second year at East Georgia majoring in biology, has created a Facebook group and organized a letter writing campaign among students and faculty to get Thibeault reinstated. Yeomans said he only found out about Thibeault's dismissal when the professor's name had been dropped from an online class listing days before he was slated to start teaching that class. As Yeomans was fond of Thibeault and had taken many of his classes in the past, he was upset to hear that he would not be teaching this semester and decided to find out why.
"I ran into Mr. Thibeault in town, and he told me he was being fired because of some sexual harassment allegations," Yeomans said. "When I heard that, I didn't believe it. He's a big name at our college and well respected among faculty and students. I believe him. He is such a great teacher. I learned more from his classes than I've learned from any other teacher's. I don't want to see him lose his job, and I don't want anyone to lose out on the opportunity to have such a great professor."
Asked to handle all media requests by East Georgia, John Vanchella, spokesman for the University System of Georgia, said it had no comment on the Thibeault case because it was an "ongoing investigation." He further noted that there was "a lot of inaccurate information out there" about this case, but did not wish to pinpoint any specific inaccuracies. Vanchella would only note that there would be a hearing held at East Georgia before the University System of Georgia's Board of Regents soon, but that a date had not yet been set.Download file "Here today, gone tomorrow"

Another wildlife photography opportunity
You may wonder why these deer's eyes are glowing strangely even though they are silhouetted against the sky. That's because I forgot that the flash was on when I grabbed my camera. Its light wasn't strong enough to illuminate the deer's bodies, but their eyes reflected it clearly. The flash did light up some of the ditch grass in the foreground.
Of course the deer left right after I flashed my camera at them, so I didn't get to fiddle with the buttons and try again. I don't do well with spur-of-the-moment one-chance photo opportunities. I consider myself lucky that I got a picture at all.

Just to get the disclaimers out of the way, TechRepublic is part of CBS Interactive, which itself is part of the greater CBS Corporation media conglomerate. Among the more successful television franchises currently available on the CBS Network is NCIS: Los Angeles.
Now, my NCIS watching tends to begin and end with the original show, but I have watched the Los Angeles spinoff on occasion. It is like most crime dramas on TV these days - a bit over the top and more than a bit fanciful, especially when it comes to technology and what can actually be accomplished with a computer connected to the Internet.
Microsoft Surface RT
This week (10/30/2012), I noticed something odd showing up during the opening minutes of the NCIS: Los Angeles episode: a Microsoft Surface RT. The obligatory tech guy, you know the guy who can hack into any security camera anywhere (only for good-guy reasons of course), was doing this week's hacking using a Surface RT Tablet, which is humorous to me on several levels.
First, while the Surface RT Tablet may be a fine tablet, it is not really what I would consider a powerful computer capable of hacking into security cameras. I mean, we don't even have a good Angry Birds port for the Surface yet, but, according to the show, we do have some sophisticated sniffing applications.
Second, the direction of the sequence was noticeably fashioned as a prominent product placement - in other words: marketing. See the clip of the video below.
The clip is from YouTube, so it is possible CBS has it taken down at some point; apologies in advance if this happens.
Now, don't get me wrong, I don't mind product placement in television shows and movies - I think it can be an effective marketing tool. And, I might add, since it was on CBS, I am sure Microsoft got its money's worth out of the placement. (Hello, number one network!)
The whole sequence just struck me, someone with a long history of technology geekness, as humorous. But most of what constitutes "technology" on television and movies these days is complete fantasy and mostly impractical, so it is not unusual that I see humor in such things. However, that does not mean it is ineffective.
Your thoughts
What do you think about the way technology is depicted in television and movies? Obviously, this is not new - there are numerous examples of product placements for companies like Apple, Dell, HP, Cisco, and other technology companies. But is the marketing effective? I'm thinking that if the idea is to raise product awareness, then the answer is yes. Do you agree?

Depression - Teen Support Group
Teen depression is marked by persistent sadness, discouragement, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in usual activities. Depression can be a temporary response to many situations and stresses. Teens may be more susceptible to depression due to the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, and conflicts with parents as they become more independent.

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—With two of the University's most festive occasions just around the corner, there's a flurry of activity taking place on campus.
Homecoming week runs from Monday through Sunday, Oct. 7-13, while family weekend takes place Friday through Sunday, Oct. 11-13, to coincide with homecoming's biggest events.
The 2013 Homecoming theme is "Fight On For Western," which is the first few words of the WMU fight song. That's a fitting theme in more ways than one. There are so many exciting events to choose from that it will be a battle for some people to get to all of their favorite ones.
Three anniversaries being celebrated
This year, WMU is celebrating its 90th homecoming and 75th year of hosting football games in Waldo Stadium. It's also marking the 50th year of the Distinguished Alumni Awards program.
In honor of the latter milestone, a reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11, in the Bernhard Center's East Ballroom. In addition to entertainment and refreshments, those who register for the reception will enjoy a short program honoring all past recipients of the award and apprising attendees of some of WMU's most successful and highly regarded alumni.
New events slated for Friday
The first homecoming pep rally to take place on the University's new West Campus pedestrian mall will be held Friday. During the event, Bronco fans will rev up for the football game at 2 p.m. Saturday against the State University of New York Buffalo Bulls.
First-year head football Coach P.J. Fleck and the Bronco Marching Band will be on hand to rouse and entertain the crowd. The rally will begin at about 8 p.m. on the large, beautifully landscaped pedestrian mall in front of the recently constructed Sangren Hall.
Prior to that, from 6 to 8 p.m., WMU will host a reception to celebrate the University's diversity and officially kick off its new WMU Pride Alumni Association for lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender graduates and their allies. Attendees will be able to enjoy desserts as well as specialty nonalcoholic drinks and meet the association's planning committee.
The event will be held at the Lee Honors College, with free parking available in the Wesley Foundation lot at 2101 Wilbur Ave. It is free, but reservations are requested at mywmu.com/pridealumni. The evening will end with a social gathering from 9 to 11 p.m. in the Metro Nightclub and 411 Club, 411 N. Westnedge Ave. in Kalamazoo.
Family weekend is a popular tradition
Officially called Buster's Family Weekend Adventure, family weekend is a great time for parents and other family members to visit campus and enjoy time with their college student.
Special activities and discounts are being offered by the Parent and Family Programs office to those who choose to register and make the necessary prior arrangements. They include working out for free at the Student Recreation Center as well as gathering together for tailgating and the football game.
The weekend concludes Sunday with a "Grab the Reins" brunch from 9 a.m. to noon in the Hoekje-Bigelow Dining Hall. The low-cost event includes musical numbers and other entertainment by talented students enrolled in School of Music programs and performing with Mane Attraction.
Homecoming Saturday is big draw
Scores of events besides the gridiron contest will draw WMU alumni and friends to campus Saturday, including the 15th annual Homecoming Campus Classic. The event features a 1K Fun Run and Walk at 8:45 a.m. and 5K Run or Walk at 9:15 a.m. Prizes and food are provided for participants as well as volunteer workers. Participants and volunteers may register online or on-site.
Another popular event is the Alumni, Family and Friends Tailgate Party beginning at 11 a.m. in Parking Lot 1 near Walwood Hall. It gives attendees a fun place to reconnect with old friends and classmates. Registration is encouraged in advance, and admission fee discounts are available to preregistrants as well as family members of WMU students.
Variety of other events taking place
Many more homecoming events are detailed at wmich.edu/homecoming, wmich.edu/parents and mywmu.com. Here's just a sampling:
- A student-inspired kickoff carnival;
- A Spirit Week competition;
- College and special program reunions;
- Homecoming king and queen voting; and
- The hilarious West Fest soapbox derby and West Fest games.

Today another juice cleanse popped up in my inbox for a place I'd never heard of called Nektar Juice Bar on Gilt City, in Santa Monica California(delivery to Chicago).
Last week a cleanse for a new place in Old Town called Element223 was on Gilt…and it feels like a new spot is popping up all the time. Thank goodness, I mean I love Blue Print and all, but one can only take so many #1s before they go insane.
I did a little looking around to see what is out there as far as what's offered for Chicago as far as juice cleanses go and they all look very similar. 6 juices per day with 5 being fruit and veggie based and one nut-milk type drink.
So what is the most cash friendly? See below:
Nekter Juice– Santa Monica, CA- Gilt City- nektarjuicebar.com
3 day- 129 Gilt City (normally 165)
5 day- 180 Gilt City (normally 269)

Clinical trials (also called medical research and research studies) are used to determine whether new drugs/treatments are both safe and effective. In addition, they help researchers decide if a drug's risks are worth its benefits (risk/benefit ratio). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers the results from clinical trials in approving a drug or treatment. Once approved, the therapy becomes available for doctors to prescribe to their patients.
New therapies are tested on people in clinical trials only after laboratory and animal studies show promising results. It is a challenge for researchers to recruit adequate numbers of clinical trial participants, and even more of a challenge to recruit African Americans. This is a concern because there is evidence that certain drugs have different effects on African Americans than they do on Caucasians. This article addresses the following questions:
There is a general distrust of the medical/healthcare system amongst some African Americans, and perhaps many, based on personal experience. In addition, historical events have given African Americans reason to mistrust clinical trials.
On July 26, 1972, the New York Times reported on what it called the "longest running non-therapeutic experiment on human beings in medical history." Departing from their Hippocratic Oath to "first, do no harm," physicians from the U.S. Public Health Service allowed nearly 400 poor, black sharecroppers with syphilis to go untreated for forty years. These men from Macon County, Alabama were told they were being treated for "bad blood." However, they were all actually part of the Tuskegee Experiment, which was designed to study the progression of syphilis-a potentially fatal sexually transmitted disease.
Many health professionals and leaders in the black community cite the Tuskegee Experiment as a factor contributing to low participation of African Americans in routine preventive care, clinical trials, and organ donation. However, we can be thankful that the Tuskegee Experiment did lead to a change for the better in how medical research is done.
There are many therapies to which African Americans are known to respond differently than whites.1, 2 For example, some drugs are less effective in African Americans (such as beta blockers for hypertension), some cause increased adverse events (such as occurrence of angioedema with use of ACE inhibitors), and some show both types of differences. 1, 2
One study 3 showed that although ACE inhibitors are particularly effective in whites, but not African Americans. A combination of hydralazine plus isosorbide dinitrate reduced the mortality of black patients. At the same time, white patients given this combination of drugs showed no difference from placebo (sugar pill). The study concluded that clinical trials involving large numbers of black patients are needed to further clarify their response to therapy.
Another study compared enalapril therapy for heart failure among blacks and whites.4 Enalapril therapy reduced the risk of hospitalization for heart failure among white patients with left ventricular dysfunction, but not among similar black patients. Again, the researchers concluded that their findings underscored the need for additional research on the efficacy of therapies for heart failure in black patients.
Not all studies involve drugs; some long-term studies will only ask you to have a physical and fill out some paper work every few years. Other studies need "controls"-people who don't receive the treatment so the results of those receiving treatment can be compared with them. You have the right to quit any study you become involved in at any time.
If you want to become part of a clinical trial, ask questions about the risks and benefits of the study.

Too many political observers see politics in an entirely binary way: Everything has to be either a "0" or a "1"; a race is either tied or it's over; every election is either won or stolen. Some people never want to admit that their side lost. And some people think that a poll either tells them what they want to hear or is methodologically flawed—or crooked. It's like an obnoxious sports fan (often found in Philadelphia) who views a ruling by a referee or umpire as either favorable or a bad call. Denial and simplicity reign.
The presidential election is neither tied nor over. Of the 16 most recent national polls using live telephone interviewers calling both respondents with landlines and those with cell phones (between 30 and 40 percent of voters do not have landlines and cannot legally be called by robo-pollsters), one has the race even, two have Obama with a narrow 2-point edge, five have 3-point Obama margins, two have 5-point Obama advantages, another pair have 6-point Obama leads, two have 7-point leads, and one has an 8-point Obama lead. This would strongly suggest that the Obama lead is between 3 and 6 percentage points; such brand-name polls as those by CNN, Fox News, and NBC News/Wall Street Journal are among those in that 3- to 6-point range.
Conversations with Democratic and Republican pollsters and strategists suggest that Colorado,Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia are the most competitive swing states. Some high-quality private polling shows Romney with very narrow leads in both North Carolina and Virginia, but a few other equally sophisticated surveys show Obama with narrow advantages in those two states. At least one private survey shows Florida even, but most show the Sunshine State and Colorado with narrow Obama leads, in the small- to mid-single-digit range. Just a hair or two better for Obama but still quite close are Nevada and Wisconsin, followed by Iowa. Things really get ugly for Romney in Ohio andMichigan, and, finally, in Pennsylvania, which is no longer competitive. Ohio shows a 5- to 8-point lead for Obama in private polling. In Michigan, Obama's lead is slightly wider, and in Pennsylvania, Romney faces close to a 10-point deficit. It is mathematically possible for Romney to reach 270 electoral votes without Michigan, Ohio, or Pennsylvania, but it is in reality exceedingly unlikely.
It would take a very consequential event to change the trajectory of this race. Time will tell whether Romney's strong debate performance on Wednesday night was the event that he needed—particularly in swing states such as Ohio. But at least he energized his supporters and sent a clear message that the race is not over.
As for down-ballot races, my hunch is that there is a pretty good chance that we may not know which party will hold a majority in the Senate in the next Congress by breakfast or lunch the day after the election. With 10 seats in the toss-up category—five for each party—the Senate outlook couldn't be more volatile.
Republicans can be confident that they will pick up the open seat in Nebraska, but they have to be very worried about their own open seats in Indiana and Maine. The latter is particularly troublesome for the GOP. Republican incumbents Scott Brown in Massachusetts and Dean Heller in Nevada are in very tight races; the odds of Heller winning are better than those for Brown. The newest entry on the toss-up list is the open Republican seat in Arizona, where Democrat Richard Carmona has pulled even or slightly ahead of GOP Rep. Jeff Flake.
Conversely, Democrats have to be most worried about hanging on to the open seat in Connecticut, where former pro-wrestling CEO Linda McMahon now has a narrow lead, and in Montana, where incumbent Jon Tester is locked in a nail-biter. The top of the ticket is a challenge for both McMahon and Tester. Open seats in North Dakota, Virginia, and Wisconsin are statistical dead heats, notwithstanding some public polls that show rather substantial leads for former Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine over former Sen. George Allen in the Old Dominion.
A look at the polling data shows two inflection points in the presidential contest and many Senate races. The Democratic convention clearly had a positive impact for Democrats, while Republicans took a real hit after the release of the video of Mitt Romney suggesting that 47 percent of voters are basically deadbeats who see themselves as victims. We are now hearing reports of a similar drop for down-ballot Republicans in some districts, particularly in places like California and New York where Romney was already going nowhere. Many GOP candidates took a hit the week of Sept. 17, then stabilized the following week. They didn't drop further but they didn't regain any altitude, either.
For now, the GOP majority in the House seems fairly secure; The Cook Political Report currently sees GOP losses in the zero- to 10-seat range, well short of the 25-seat net gain Democrats need to gain control.
It's always difficult to gauge how any event will be interpreted and what impact it will have on a campaign, but there is considerable evidence that the "47 percent" video did make a mark. Democratic pollster Peter Hart and his Republican counterpart Bill McInturff asked in the Sept. 26-30 NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll of 832 likely voters nationwide, "Has what you have seen, read, or heard in the past couple of weeks about Mitt Romney and his campaign for president given you a more favorable impression of him or a less favorable impression of him?" Some 28 percent responded that they felt more complimentary about Romney, but 51 percent indicated that what they heard made them feel less likely to support him.
Romney had a six-week stretch where nothing broke his way. Now we'll see if his debate performance was a turning point—or a brief interruption—in the campaign narrative.

Jenna's Unique Attic Kitchen
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Jenna
- Location:
- Providence, RI
- Square Feet:
- 120
- Division:
- Rent
- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- The sloped, attic walls of our apartment, combined with the low 6'10" ceiling, create unique lines and light in our space and make it cozy and inviting.
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- The sloped 45 degree walls eat up accessible space, causing storage and mobility issues. Though the footprint of the kitchen is slightly larger than 120 square feet, the area where one can stand up straight under the flat ceiling is closer to 63 square feet! We hung items in every flat nook and cranny and purchased low storage carts for the overflow of kitchen supplies. Also, I hated how cluttered our glass pantry cabinet looked with my mish mosh of baking supplies - we hung a sheet of rice paper to hide the mess, while the other half remains open to display our favorite dishes.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- When it's not 90 degrees in our kitchen (attics are hot!) I absolutely love to make sourdough pizza. Right now I'm sticking with margaritas.

With the second month of baseball season underway, the NBA and NHL playoffs beginning to heat up and the NFL just wrapping up the draft, May could possibly be one of the more overlooked sports months. While sports fans all over are strapping down while the action is heating up, card companies are keeping up with the increased activities this coming month as well. Fifteen new products are scheduled to hit the streets in the next four weeks, including some unusual and interesting stuff thanks to Topps Chipz and a Leon Sandcastle rookie card in Score Football.
2013 Topps Museum Collection—May 15th
2013 Topps MLB Chipz—May 29th
2013 Panini USA Baseball—May 29th
With the return of baseball in 2013, fans all over the country can't wait to witness the sophomore campaigns of one of the most exciting rookie classes in recent memory. Also breaking out after successful debuts last year are Topps products Archives Baseball and Museum Collection. One of the more successful high-end products last year, Museum Collection once again returns with a heavy list of autograph signers and game used cards, while Archives Baseball, a mid-range product, brings back its familiar retro feel of the '70s, '80s and '90s. Bowman Baseball and Panini USA Baseball are being released to eagerly awaiting fan bases too, giving collectors a glimpse of a new rookie and prospect class in addition to their favorite players in a new light. Finally, MLB Chipz is one of the most unique products of the year. Instead of using the traditional format for cards, players will be featured on, essentially, poker chips. It will be interesting to see how this product is received but it would definitely be a conversation starter on poker night.
2012-13 Leaf Best of Basketball—May 10th
2012-13 Panini Past and Present Basketball—May 3rd
2012-13 Panini Brilliance Basketball—May 13th
2012-13 Panini Momentum Basketball—May 15th
2012-13 Panini Elite Series Basketball—May 29th
As the NBA playoffs roll into the second round, only the strongest teams remain. In similar fashion Panini and Leaf are rolling out some big products this month as well. Leaf Best of Basketball is first to hit shelves on May 10th, a high-end buyback product featuring the some of the most popular basketball cards ever produced professionally slabbed or graded alongside an original autograph card. Some of the signers include Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson and Jerry Sloan. The remainder of May belongs to Panini, set to release Past and Present, Brilliance and Momentum in rapid succession and Elite Series at the end of the month. Elite Series and Momentum are both high-end products featuring a promising list of autograph signers and game-used cards. Panini is really looking to make a splash with the debut of Brilliance though, a mid-range product with something for everyone from set collectors to autograph chasers. With such strong lineups, the following weeks look to be exciting one for basketball collectors
2013 Leaf Legends of the Gridiron Football—May 10th
2013 Topps Archives Football—May 15th
2013 Press Pass Showcase Football—May 22nd
2013 Panini Score Football—May 13th
Having been freshly rejuvenated midway through the off season by the draft, football junkies now have something to hold them over until opening kickoff a few months away. A wide range of football products hit the streets this month, from the high-end, hit based Press Pass Showcase, which is including autographs and game used cards from stars such as Robert Griffen III and Andrew Luck, to the low-end, set focused Score Football, celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary this year. In between those two fall Topps Archives Football, making its debut, and Leaf Legends of the Gridiron. Topps Archives Football is modeled after last year's popular Archives Baseball set. The retro style product features fan favorite autographs, not necessarily stars, and lots of old school inserts. Leaf Legends of the Gridiron in the meantime, is made up of cut autos from some of the biggest names ever to be associated with the game. Production is limited to ninety-nine cases at twelve boxes per case though, so once this product is gone, it's gone.
2012-13 In the Game Ultimate Memorabilia 12th Edition hockey—May 3rd
Hockey lovers won't have to be distracted by busting wax during the Stanley Cup playoffs in the coming weeks. In the Game Ultimate Memorabilia is the sole hockey product breaking out in May. Ultimate Memorabilia is a high-end, hit based product where each pack includes one auto, one game used and one base card, guaranteeing ten hits per box. Redwings fans have something else to be excited about, as every case contains a Steve Yzerman Anthology hot pack. While hockey products may be scarce this time of the year, Ultimate Memorabilia will be sure to be a nice companion set while enjoying the playoffs.

Analysis by Ian O'Neill
Mon Jun 25, 2012
Looks Matter (in the Bird World): During a study of reproduction habits of blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) researchers found that a few aesthetic traits exhibited by male and female birds act as signals for the opposite sex to learn who has the best genes, who can chose the best nesting site, who can command the best territory and, ultimately, who will be best parent. The visual cue for male blue tits is the quality of the female's ornamentation -- the ultraviolet coloration of her crown. According to the BioMed Central press release, ornamentation also plays a role in competition between males and between females, as well as signaling potential reproductive success. via PhysOrg.com

Steph, Beautiful bird and interesting article. Joan
This is interesting. I always thought the female chose the male.
I did not begin birding until I was 45 years old. Just think of what I missed. The first amazing thing that occurred (the first of many to come) was when I purchased my first pair of binoculars (not even a good pair) and began to see the amazing plumage and color patterns of an otherwise dull, Grey/brown looking bird. It was like a whole new world opened up for me. Now I feel sorry for people who never get to see this and are even totally unaware of this amazing world right around us.

Comcast Cares: Pay Us The $0.00 You Owe, Or We Cut You Off
from the customer-service dept
While Comcast has received a lot of attention for its "Comcast Cares" initiative (the head of which recently left the company), it certainly looks like they have a few kinks to work out. Phil Anderson points us to the story of Comcast demanding the $0.00 a customer owes and threatening to turn off service if it's not received.
It's not hard to figure out how something like this happens. For whatever reason, the customer didn't owe any money that month -- perhaps a credit, or he had overpaid in a previous month, or something like that. But, Comcast's system is probably set up with the recording of "a payment" separate from the amount, such that not receiving any payment sets off a red flag, with no simple check to see if the reason is that no money is owed. You would think that this is something that Comcast would have caught a lot earlier...

Future of LED Lighting in our Cars and Homes
LED lights are quickly replacing old fluorescent tubes and bulbs in our homes. These lights are not only economical and save energy but they also have unlimited benefits because of their small size and the amount of flexibility they come with. LED lights are available in all kinds of colors which are produced by combining the three basic colors: red, blue and green. These types of lights are also used as under-car lights and flashing lights in case of an emergency. Because of their optimized design these lights last for a long time and therefore they are truly cost effective in the long run.
LED lighting bars and strips are quite popular all over the world. There are low power LED's and high power LED's used in these kinds of lights for different purposes. Normally lights used for indoor decoration are low power because most people prefer dim interior lighting. Many other kinds of LED lights are available out there in the form of night lights, walkway and stair lighting, recessed or ceiling lights, and porch and landscaping lights. All these lights are easy to install including LED car headlight kits. Renowned manufacturers like Philips also produce white-colored LED energy saving bulbs which are quite efficient and sturdy.
Car enthusiasts like LED headlights because they are not only brighter but also last longer than ordinary halogen headlights. These lights come with 12 volt bulbs which produce 4 times more light than incandescent bulbs normally used in the making of car headlights. Because these bulbs are also capable of saving power, they can significantly improve the performance of your car. Good quality LED lights last for 50,000 hours and even more. Car headlights made of LED bulbs are made shockproof and waterproof. They are therefore ideal to be used during long journeys and on rough terrains.
DIY (Do-It-Yourself) LED car headlights are also becoming increasingly popular in today's high-tech world. These state-of-the-art and easy to install lights can be spotted on the market without much trouble. They come with complete instructions to help you set up the headlights yourself without needing the assistance of a mechanic. Because LED's are heat sensitive, the headlights are designed to stay below a specific temperature and hence these lights do not heat up. In addition to these headlights and tail lights, LED under car strobe lighting and car exterior lighting systems are also gaining widespread popularity all over the world.
Underbody car LED kits come in a range of exciting colors and forms. These kits are equipped with remote controls and are capable of operating in different modes, for example flashing, strobing, chasing, phasing etc. Modern high quality underbody kits also come with sound systems and they can be set to 12 different functions. Multi-color strobe lights for cars are liked by car lovers across the globe because they look amazing. These are the latest advancement in the car parts industry and have been predicted to replace ordinary car kits in the future. They come with high-intensity, wide angle LED's housed in strong and long-lasting tubes.
LED lighting for cars is not limited to underbody car kits. Exterior car lights are also quite popular and well-liked. These lights include bumper guard lights, third-brake lights, running lights, and multi-purpose light tube strips. In addition to these, popular manufacturers are also providing position and side marker lights for cars. All these lights are quite inexpensive and can be installed easily. High power LED modules come in various colors including cool and warm white, blue, green, red and yellow. LED multiplexing is the future of LED lighting in cars which will produce brighter, more efficient and more flexible lights.
LED light bulbs are used for a variety of purposes in homes. Recessed ceiling lights can be used for lighting up a hallway or passage. These bulbs come in three shapes: MR (Multi Reflector), Universal, and PAR type. MR and PAR types are normally used for focused or directional lighting. They are ideal to be used in night or reading lamps. Universal LED bulbs, on the other hand, can be used for general lighting purposes. These bulbs replace ordinary incandescent bulbs and range in wattage from 3.3 Watt to 15 Watt. Most of these lights are made waterproof and come in various levels of brightness.
Linear LED lights used in homes are available as light bars, rope lights, net & string lights, track lights, and signage & back lights. These types of lights can light up an entire cabinet or shelf. They are known as linear because they consist of a number of small LED's aligned in a case. Rope lights are perfect for parties and outdoor decoration. They come in a variety of colors and look amazing stretched out on the floor. The latest rope lights come in durable glass tubing and simple electrical connections. They are very flexible and quite easy to install.
Architectural and track lights can also be used to decorate and light up the interior of an office. These lights produce enough illumination for all kinds of operations. Doorways, closets and lobbies can be lit up by using signage lights. These lights are available in the form of daisy chains and are very high power. Sign boards can be effectively constructed by using these lights which are totally waterproof and robust. LED architectural lights are available as street lights, wall washers, path lights and panel lights. LED street lights save money and energy and are very reliable.
Wall washers are extensively used in buildings and homes to illuminate an entire wall. They look beautiful from a distance and can be used to make a building stand out from the rest. The best thing about these lights is that they are not very expensive. The intensity of these lights can be controlled through a remote control along with their color and speed. These lights operate just like underbody car kits and are appreciated all over the world. LED floodlights are ideal for outdoor illumination and they are also quite reasonably priced. These types of lights are housed in an aluminum shell which is light weight and durable.
There is a whole range of incredible LED lights to choose from. Deco, underground, lawn, ceiling, lamp, pool and many other types of LED lighting are admired by people all over the world. These lights are not only affordable but also last for many years. LED's scatter heat quickly and therefore do not heap up like incandescent bulbs. They can be fitted anywhere because of their small size and adjustable design. Lawn lights look really pretty and they come in various colors including white, green, red and yellow.
The quality and efficiency of LED lights can be determined by measuring five parameters: color temperature, brightness, power, color rendering index, and efficacy. The temperature is measured in Kelvin and brightness is measured in Lumens. LED's are excellent to be used for frequent on-off operations because they don't affect their functionality. This is yet another reason for adopting LED lighting for all our home and car lighting needs in addition to saving energy. They are also safe to be operated in any area and also serve as perfect and efficient portable lights.

Reysen says Florence 'spoke to my heart.'
Wandering the country side with her camera in hand, Junior Hannah Reysen discovers beautiful places. But, what is more significant might be what she discovers inside during her study abroad semester in Italy.
Reysen, a business management and marketing major from Adell, Wis., grew up listening to her mother's stories about a trip to Brazil she took as a high school student. Those stories fostered an interest in Reysen that could not be quelled. There were moments of doubt over the years, but in the end, a few visits with Rae French, learning abroad coordinator, sealed the deal and opened up the possibilities.
Where she would travel was not really clear to Reysen until one night after looking at a variety of places she could go, it became clear to her that her destination would be Florence.
"Rae re-inspired my desire to travel, and Florence spoke to my heart," Reysen says.
Her trip was filled with history, culture, art, and the Italian people. "I think I was meant to go there," Reysen smiles. "I grew very close to some of the people I met, and I am even planning to go back over spring break to see them. They have become very near and dear to me.
"You hear that trips like this can be life changing, but I didn't really believe it," she continues. "But, my life has been forever changed by my semester abroad."
She traveled during her stay, but remained in Italy exploring Rome, Cinque Terre, Siena, the Chanti region, and more. She was awed by the Vatican, and found herself putting her camera away and soaking up the experience. When time allowed, Reysen would wander with her camera. "I would walk the streets and country side and found myself enjoying the time alone," she reflects. "I feel like I know myself better and my travel abroad enriched this opportunity I had to discover who I am!"
Reysen took classes in Italian, three in business, and a class on digital photography. Her goals in life have always included making a difference. "I hope to someday work for a non-profit and give back," she explains. "I want to do something to bring out the best in people and inspire others to grow."
She is not sure how it will all play out exactly. For now, Reysen is back on campus, but she believes her study abroad experience has changed how she views everything.
"The world has opened up to me, and I want to share what I have learned with others," she says. "If you have a chance to study abroad, take it. You won't believe it, but it's truly a life changer!"

Now I got someone to create their own offense rather efficiently.
Ehhhh. This is an example of how numbers lie. Martin's always been efficient, but I fail to see why this roster would be any different from his God awful records in Sacramento. KMart, AK-47, Thabo, Ibaka... They're all extremely efficient, when they get wide open jumpers off the work of a drive-and-kick playmaker. Your team doesn't have anyone who can create something out of nothing. They'd be incredible with a Jru Holiday or Steph Curry at the helm, but you chose to take Ibaka early instead of somebody you could build around.
Maybe it's genius. I dunno. I just don't see this roster being effective in real life, despite how it looks on paper.
I agree.

I have so much to thank Bill Gates for: introducing me to the baffling joys of consumer computing with Windows 95; teaching me the meaning of fear and dread with Windows 98; leading me to the sunlit uplands of Windows XP; getting me out of Microsoft altogether with the arrival of Vista. I hardly know where to start. And if I hadn't flown into a high-minded anti-Microsoft, down-with-Bill-Gates fury at the start of this year, would I ever have stumbled upon ZenWalk? I doubt it.

Maybe Novell and Xandros will have that "feature" in future versions of their software.
I stepped into that. I was trying to be lighthearted, but regrettably you may be right. I've read the arguments about Novell, both pro and con, I feel it was a bad move by Novell and also a bad move by Xandros. Linux has been doing fine without MS as the author of the article discovered. There are reasons why average users like me stay with Linux. It's more user friendly than MS, and I'm not an expert on buisness, but I think Novell and Xandros will not prosper in the long run.

Gary Collins
Host of 'Hour Magazine' TV show
Gary Collins, 74, an actor who was the host of the syndicated TV show "Hour Magazine" and a former master of ceremonies for the Miss America Pageant, died early Saturday in Biloxi, Miss. Collins died of natural causes soon after arriving at Biloxi Regional Medical Center, Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove told the Associated Press.
In 2011 Collins moved to Mississippi, the home state of his wife, Mary Ann Mobley, who was Miss America 1959 before embarking on an acting career.
From 1980 to 1988, Collins served as host of the daytime TV talk show "Hour Magazine,"...
