Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder
|Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is the name given to a B-cell proliferation due to therapeutic immunosuppression after organ transplantation. These patients may develop infectious mononucleosis-like lesions or polyclonal polymorphic B-cell hyperplasia. Some of these B-cells may undergo mutations which will render them malignant, giving rise to a lymphoma.[citation needed]
In some patients, the malignant cell clone can become the dominant proliferating cell type, leading to frank lymphoma, a group of B cell lymphomas occurring in immunosuppressed patients following organ transplant.
The disease is an uncontrolled proliferation of B cell lymphocytes latently infected with Epstein-Barr virus.[1][2] Production of an interleukin-10, an endogenous, pro-regulatory cytokine, has also been implicated.
In immunocompetent patients, Epstein-Barr virus can cause infectious mononucleosis in adolescents, which is otherwise asymptomatic in children during their childhood. However, in immunosuppressed transplant patients, the lack of T-cell immunosurveillance can lead to the proliferation of these EBV-infected B-lymphocytes.
However, calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus and ciclosporin), used as immunosuppressants in organ transplantation inhibit T cell function, and can prevent the control of the B cell proliferation.
Depletion of T cells by use of anti-T cell antibodies in the prevention or treatment of transplant rejection further increases the risk of developing post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. Such antibodies include ATG, ALG and OKT3.
Polyclonal PTLD may form tumor masses and present with symptoms due to a mass effect, e.g. symptoms of bowel obstruction. Monoclonal forms of PTLD tend to form a disseminated malignant lymphoma.

PTLD may spontaneously regress on reduction or cessation of immunosuppressant medication,[3] and can also be treated with addition of anti-viral therapy. In some cases it will progress to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and may be fatal. A phase 2 study of adoptively transferred EBV-specific T cells demonstrated high efficacy with minimal toxicity.[4]

Rotary & Ingles help feed the need this Christmas
Haywood County, NC -- More than 500 local families will now have a Christmas meal, thanks to an annual program in Haywood County. It's called the "Christmas Food Basket program."
Items like canned ham, rolls, yams and pie make up the meal boxes being distributed on Thursday.
Ingles and 3 Haywood County Rotary clubs team-up to provide the items and pack the boxes.
Members and volunteers with Rotary are delivering them to 530 Haywood County families.
This is the 21st year for the effort and organizer Tom Knapko says each year the need grows.
"We always are looking for this miracle to come true where we have to balance the amount of money that we collect and the number of boxes, and we've never been short," says Knapko. "Everyone has been fed over these years. It's been tremendous," he adds.
Knapko says since the program began, the 3 Rotary Clubs and their families have donated more than $167,500 and more than 7,500 meals.
You can get involved by donating to the cause or getting involved with Rotary.

Program Information
The Therapeutic Massage Program, which is approved by the Alabama Board of Massage Therapy (telephone number 334.269.9990; website www.almtbd.state.al.us) is a short-certificate (29 credit hours;720 contact hours) program that prepares students to become successful practicing bodyworkers by giving them broad knowledge of Western theories and techniques. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are eligible to apply to take the MBLEX (Massage and Bodywork Licensing Exam; website www.fsmtb.org/mblex).
The philosophy of the therapeutic massage program is consistent with the mission and goals of the College. The program provides the curriculum to develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for entry level employment in the therapeutic massage profession. The massage faculty embraces the following beliefs:
The teaching-learning process is a shared responsibility between faculty and students where faculty serve as facilitators of learning. The successful teaching-learning process requires an environment that promotes learning, considers the needs of the individual, and provides opportunities for student participation and educational goal attainment. The learning process is based on principles of critical thinking and is enhanced by the presentation of information from simple to complex. Learning is achieved when there is evidence of a change in behavior within the cognitive, affective, and/or psychomotor domains.
Therapeutic massage is a learner-centered process which combines theory and skills to prepare the individual for the practice of massage. Incorporating a program of learning, a variety of instructional methodologies, and available resources, therapeutic massage education fosters competency, accountability and continued professional development. Learning is a life-long process which promotes professionalism and is beneficial for the learner and society.
The mission of the Therapeutic Massage Program is to provide quality educational services that satisfy both the needs in the College service area for massage therapists and the needs of students seeking a relatively short term career education program. These educational services are provided while promoting the highest ethical professional conduct and abiding by the laws, rules and regulations under which the massage therapy profession operates and is regulated by the Alabama Board of Massage Therapy and the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. The faculty is dedicated to ensure that appropriate coursework, technologies and learning environments are available to students. The therapeutic massage program incorporates a curriculum and teaching methodologies that provide students with access to the knowledge, psychomotor skills, attitudes, professional ethics, communication and critical thinking skills and awareness to be effective and competent as entry-level massage therapists. Included in the mission is the provision for continuing education, professional development and personal enrichment for massage therapists as well as for other health care professionals and members of the community.
The educational outcomes of the Therapeutic Massage Program are for students to:
- Utilize knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, musculoskeletal kinesiology and pathology in the application of massage therapy appropriate for each client.
- Demonstrate knowledge in assessing, setting applicable goals, planning appropriate massage techniques and evaluating outcomes for each client.
- Demonstrate the knowledge and skills to perform massages using a variety of techniques applicable as an entry-level massage therapist in a safe, legal and ethical manner.
- Provide a safe environment for the client through recognition of potential hazards and standard precautions, and protecting the client's privacy.
- Demonstrate principles of body mechanics while providing massages to reduce the risk of injury to self.
- Demonstrate effective communication skills and professional relationships with clients, coworkers, classmates and instructors.
- Demonstrate critical thinking skills required to make ethical decisions and sound clinical judgments.
- Develop a successful business plan.
- Assume responsibility for self-direction, life-long learning, and personal, professional and civic characteristics that promote professional growth.

A special thank you to this week's guest blogger, and musician friend of mine, Nelson Foltz who writes about this year's Grammy Awards, offering his insight on today's music business, and the Grammy Awards.
Yes, it's fun to sit in your comfy chair and snipe about how they "aren't what they used to be" and there will always be someone to agree with you but that argument is more about sentimentality than anything else and simply doesn't hold water even with the most cursory of wikipedia (or even grammy.com) searches. What you're really doing is compiling a lifetime's worth of your favorite music and using that as a reference with the obvious bias of your own personal tastes. It is a standard which no annual review can compare to and it's a moot point anyway. I for one have been guilty of doing it but the Grammys are exactly what they've always been, an annual recognition of excellence in recorded music.
Much like Saturday Night Live sketches or even politicians, there is a natural ebb and flow that occurs in regard to the overall quality of the options available and such a yearly industry summation by its very nature must cut a rather wide swath in terms of style and taste so not everybody's gonna be happy with the contenders or outcome. For every Milli Vanilli there will also be some genuine brilliance exposed to a much deserved wider audience in addition to engineers and behind the scenes folks getting paid their proper respects (especially in an era when liner notes have virtually ceased to exist) for work that goes by unnoticed by the general listening public. It's a mixed bag and always has been because it's supposed to be.
There will of course be the performers who require ten bedazzled elephants, a fireworks display that would put the Zambelli Fireworks Company to shame, auto-tune and a hundred backup dancers onstage to hold your attention but there will also be artists who have utilized the vast resources available to them in the modern recording/technology age and found ways to find their audience simply because they love playing music. As much as I enjoy glittery elephants and laser shows, those are the people who make it worth it for me as a listener because it suits my tastes and I applaud anyone who makes the choice to persevere and circumvent issues for something they love rather than whine and moan about it. The music business has been leveled to a more even playing field and it's all about what you do with the new landscape.
Take the band Snarky Puppy, who in collaboration with the great Lalah Hathaway ended up taking home a statue this year with no major label support. They're a bunch of great musicians who have toured relentlessly for years building an audience while at the same time taking full advantage of the new avenues available for publicity and distribution. From now on, whenever I hear musicians complaining about the current state of affairs in the music business that's most likely who I'm going to think of and I respect not only their nomination and subsequent win but first and foremost their dedication to doing what they love to do. If things were "what they used to be" that band most likely wouldn't have had the chance to even be on the ballot.
If you're a musician or engineer and don't like the choices offered up, join NARAS and vote. As much fun as it is to talk smack you do have a say in the outcome. They've made it relatively simple for qualified people to join and all the information is readily available online. If not, enjoy the annual fireworks or just don't give it any mind and yes...I totally complained about the Grammys while watching!
Nelson Foltz
Musician/Composer Nelson Foltz lives in NYC and has worked with such artists as Barry White, Steely Dan, Aretha Franklin, Spoon, Roberta Flack, Gerry Leonard, Shayna Steele, Josh Ritter, Carolyn Leonhart, Deborah Gibson, Juliette Commagere, Michael Grimm, Robin McKelle, Dave Liebman, Hildegunn Gjedrem, Joachim Cooder and Maria Schneider. His credits include music for film, television and radio as well as performing in the orchestra for numerous broadway pit orchestras including The Lion King, Fosse and Hairspray. Foltz's original recordings are regularly featured on NPR and PRI and his seventh album entitled "departure" with long time collaborator Tom Lynn is set to be released this year.

Having barely recovered from the surprising team choice for this All-Stars season (John and Jessica? Dave and Connor? Caroline and Jen? – REALLY?!), we encounter another surprise right at the start line.
This time the surprise seems to be the one out of anyone's control: Bopper (of Mark and Bopper team) cannot race due to a sudden health problem. However, the teams' and fans' disappointment is somewhat mitigated by allowing Mark to race with a new teammate – Mallory Ervin (from TAR 17 and TAR 18).
I personally don't mind Mallory – she was somewhat annoying in her exuberance, but her enthusiasm and joie de vivre were contagious. I do think though that changing the dynamics of a team so abruptly and putting together two people who barely know each other is almost a guarantee for a failure. So I will not be surprised if this newly made team will be eliminated very soon. Still – it is fair to give Mark a chance even if Bopper cannot run, and such solution is definitely better than eliminating the whole Mark-and-Bopper team right at the start for something beyond their control. So it is what it is.
As soon as Phil gives his famous "The world is waiting for you – GO!", the teams have to find the right match for a Chinese spelling of the name "Guangzhou" – their first destination. The order in which they find the correct match would determine whether they get on the first or second flight to China. The "Afghanimals", the "Cowboys", the "Twinnies" and Dave and Connor get on the earlier flight.
The first task in Guangzhou is to find one of three specific bridal dress shops among tons of similar shops to receive the next clue. The streets are narrow and the layout of the area is confusing. The dresses are too puffy and the shops are too look-alike. The Afghanimals and the Twinnies are looking for the right shops together. Unsuccessfully, I must say. So unsuccessfully that people from the second flight catch up and surge ahead. In fact, the Twinnies are among the last teams to arrive to the next destination – Canton Tower, where the teams have to ride the world's tallest "Ferries wheel" and look for their next clue.
The clues – it seemed – are placed only in the even-numbered cars of the "Ferris wheel", and some teams that are more lucky than others discover them on the first ride. Our Twinnies – alas! – are not one of those lucky teams. They have to ride the "Ferries wheel" again and try their luck again. It doesn't help them that they cannot come to a decision. Fighting and yelling at each other might make for an amusing TV, but it does not help our Twinnies at all.
Meanwhile, the teams with the clues are directed to the stadium where one member of each team has to perform a Roadblock – 5 high-wire flips. Here we get a chance to take a longer look at each team.
The Cowboys are quite efficient. The Globetrotters never lose their sense of humor. The Afghanimals are cheerful and joyful – Leo finishes his 5 flips but keeps going – just for fun. Joey (of the You Tube team) is acting even dorkier than he is – faking it for the cameras, no doubt.
Rachel calls her new husband "Pookie". Seriously – "Pookie"?! That is quite a puke-y. Margie is quite a puke-y, too – whining non-stop (through the whole episode) how she (at 56) is such an old, old, old woman. And how she needs to prove to all old women something or other. Such clichés are just s000 puke-y!
Look, Margie – yes, you ARE an old woman. But not because you are 56 though. I know 60 and 70-something who are upbeat, optimistic and fun, and they come across as youthful. But you – even your voice sounds like worn-out creaking joints. O-l-d. Not because you are 56 – because you are sour and humorless. And full of clichés. And boring.
The rest of the teams are remarkably unremarkable, so I won't waste the time.
The Cowboys are the first to arrive to the Pit Stop, and they get 2 Express Passes – one for them and one to be given away to the team of their choice by the 5th leg of the Race. Jessica and John (who arrive closer to the bottom) assure us that they are very happy precisely because they did not get the Express Pass this time. They want to avoid an "oy vey" moment. But happiness resulting from not getting an Express Pass – isn't it an "oy vey" moment in itself?
At the end it's between the You Tubers and the Twinnies. I wish that order was reversed, but – alas! – the Twinnies are the last team at the Pit Stop. Too bad. In the past – they annoyed some fans and delighted the others. But no one was left indifferent, no one could call them "boring". Isn't it what an ideal team on TAR should be? – fans can disagree about liking them, but none of the fans can sincerely call them "boring".
Good-bye, Natalie and Nadiya. I was and am a fan. And I will terribly miss that "Come on, Twinnie!!!" As will many, many, many of us.

Since showing his first collection back in 1997 fashion designer Matthew Williamson became a house hold name almost instantly, with strong celebrity followers such as Cat Deeley. Williamson was almost solely responsible for helping to create Sienna Miller's boho luxe look back in the early 00s, which helped launch her acting career.
Even though Williamson has a barrage of fashion collaborations such as Butterfly by Matthew Williamson – which is sold in high street chain Debenhams – and diffusion lines (stateside) such as Matthew Williamson for Impulse which is sold exclusively in Macy's New York, we have not yet been introduced to a UK-based diffusion line that is so clearly missing from the market. But do not despair as this time around Williamson's latest launch MW Matthew Williamson will be sold solely via online retailers My-Wardrobe.com.
The MW Matthew Williamson collection consists of Williamson's iconic prints alongside sexy yet serene embellishments with sophisticated styles. Williamson has stated that it is "… for having fun in", which is reflected in the youthful and playful pieces.
Currently the line consists of three current looks which include a leopard print bubble sleeve belted coat, knotted detail maxi dress and jersey polo neck body top which are available to purchase now online at My-Wardrobe.com from as little as £122! What a bargain indeed.

Secular Greek Migration to Russia Of the End of XVI – First Half XVII Centuries
The article is devoted to the issue of migration in Russia in the Early-modern time the Orthodox subjects of the Ottoman Empire and its vassal States. It presents the dynamics of migration, the analysis of its causes, revealed the social origins of immigrants, studied the place which they received in Russian society. Found that the Russian government was interested in migration. The Greeks always were readily accepted in Russia and received Russian citizenship. The Russian government was guided by several motives. In the first place, the government proceeded from the doctrine of Moscow as the III Rome. The concept was laid on the Russian Tsar functions of the Byzantine Emperor.

Stay focused, and keep moving forward
Dennis Waitley reminds people to not lose their sense of motivation. People need to always be adaptable to change to keep moving forward and attempting to discover and find things along the way. People need to be sure to make an effort to find new ways to accomplish the tasks at hand. Changing the focus away from things that have gone wrong allows people to be open to different possibilities which can help them to move forward. Far too often people find themselves being stuck upon what has gone wrong in their lives. Whaitley encourages people to focus their energies towards a new innovation. There are many things that get disrupted by a brain injury and therefor there are many things that must be regained. A person who has sustained a life altering injury cannot allow themselves to become inundated by the things that have not gone as originally planned. There is much beauty in the different ways that things are accomplished. Where there is a will there is a way.
Many of the survivors that I am in contact with have had to change their methods to attempt many different things. I always attempt to remind them that it is not how things are accomplished but rather what is accomplished. People need to not be derailed by minor changes in their plans. After a brain injury the path towards the goals that a person may have had are certainly changed but it is up to the individual to not lose sight of where they want to be. I would love to hear examples from any of you who have had to make a change in his/her path. Change is not easy and it is far too simple to abandon a goal entirely when the first attempt does not go as planned. A goal is not something to be abandoned. Hopefully individuals are in contact with those that can help them to shape reasonable and attainable goals for them. I think that it is encouraging for people to know that others have encountered many things that are similar to themselves. I thank you very much for reading and would like to read any comments that you may have.

The one certainty in life is change. Nobody makes plans and lives on a straight line. The line always zig zags. We have to flow with the waves along the path of least resistance. Focusing on yesterday creates depression and too much focus on tomorrow creates anxiety. The key is to love and be in the present. After all, the present is all we have.ReplyDelete
We need to make every effort to stay present in this moment. Indeed it is very easy to let our anxieties get away from us. We need to be adaptable to the unplanned zigs and zags that will come our way. There is a fine balance between finding the correct moment to focus on. A former philosopher professor of mine from college always would tell us that the only moment that is guaranteed as ours is right now. Depression and anxiety are two things that we have to keep away from; everyone needs to notify a doctor if they feel like things are getting out of control.I thank you very much for your comment.

Okay I am really feeling the heat of the summer already (and have the sunburn to prove it) so I am really wishing that it were Christmas time again! These scrapbook pages really take me back and get me in the mood all over again!
Hailey and I had so much fun making cookies this past year, although we totally cheated on the dough! I bought premade-precut dough, since I have zero baking supplies, and we just put all our effort into really cute decorating. I cheated on the decorating too and bought the bagged cookie frosting and lots of sprinkles from the Target dollar bins! :o) The really funny part was after all the snowmen, stockings, and trees were docorated, Hailey wanted to use the leftovers as cookies too. She said one looked like a shark and one looked like a stork! Too funny!

This was our first year making a gingerbread house, so it was a complete learning experience! I am all about making life simple, so we opted for the complete kit and I am really glad we did! It turned out a little lopsided with a gap in the roof, but we still had loads of fun and it was really cool watching her figure out the perfect spot for all the candy accents. After she decorated the people, it was really funny to watch her play with them like they were Barbies! They took on their own personalities and voices!

It may be ironic that a piece of writing attempts to convey this message but it is an unbelievably powerful thing to remember across a number of life domains. It is so easy to use words to obscure less than ideal behavioural patterns - to claim something is much different than it really is or was, to make things sound so much nicer, to provide an excuse for bad behaviour, to distract from the real issue at hand. Words can be altered, misinterpreted, reinterpreted, have no meaning, lead no where, which can ultimately leave recipients unfulfilled, disappointed and even violated when ones words do not match their behaviours.
Behaviours on the other hand tell us much more about the people we choose to spend our time with. Behaviours show us if the person really is who their words claim they are, if someone really means what they say and if they can be counted and relied upon. Behaviours are far less likely to be misinterpreted, and are far easier to remember. A person's behaviour is there for all to see, and remembered for much time afterwards, unlike words which are quickly forgotten.
We build respect, trust and intimacy with those who behave well towards us. Good behaviour is demonstrated when others are there for us in our desperate times of need, when people do what they say they are going to do, when they treat us with the respect that we deserve. On the other hand, bad behaviours can leave a deep stain on our soul and are far more difficult to forget. A single instance of bad behaviour can be all that is required to irreparably damage a previously untarnished relationship and ruin it forever. Such a situation is exacerbated when bad behaviour is refused to be owned by the inflicter and such avoidance often leaves the inflicted unsure as to what has occurred. Luckily, the bad behaviour, unlike words will always remain to confirm that the issue is not our response to it but remains with their bad behaviour.
Such knowledge is a good reminder to all of us to make sure our behaviours match the words we impart on the world – that we do what we say we are going to go, that we treat people the way we would claim to, that our relationships reflect the words we use to speak about them. Perhaps the most useful knowledge of all, especially in the case of someone behaving in a way that has deeply disappointed you is that "the single best predictor of a person's future behaviours is their past behaviour" – if someone has behaved badly, once, twice, repeatedly, it is highly likely they will do it again. This, you know and do have the power to act on if the signs present.

Boks' best snubbed for IRPA award
No Springboks have made the shortlist for the International Rugby Players' Association's (IRPA) Players' Player of the Year award, as voted by the world's top international players.
Lock Eben Etzebeth is one of five nominees for the IRB Player of the Year award but is not among the three players up for the IRPA Players' Player of the Year award.
The award has boiled down to a vote-off between Wales and British and Irish Lions star Leigh Halfpenny and All Blacks Ben Smith and Kieran Read.
Welsh fullback Halfpenny was a standout performer for Six Nations champions Wales, eventually being named Player of the Tournament.
Halfpenny also played in all three Tests on the Lions' tour of Australia; breaking the Lions' point-scoring record (previously held by Neil Jenkins) and being crowned Player of the Series.
Read and Smith have been similarly outstanding during New Zealand's unbeaten run through the calendar year.
No.8 Read scored six tries in 13 Tests and took over the captaincy of the side in the six internationals Richie McCaw was unavailable.
Outside back Smith proved a revelation, scoring 11 tries in 14 games; 10 of them on the wing before switching to centre to fill the vacancy left by namesake Conrad.
Smith has also been shortlisted for the IRPA Newcomer of the Year award, alongside barn-storming countryman Charles Piutau and Australian flyer Israel Folau.
Halfpenny said it was a huge honour to be included on a shortlist chosen by his peers and fellow professionals: "I'm thrilled, to be honest," he said. "There are awards and there are awards, but to be recognised by the people you play against week-in, week-out – well, that's about as good as it gets."
Smith was delighted to be a finalist in two categories: "I've really enjoyed the year and this just tops it all off, really," he said. "The awards are a fantastic initiative and to be named as a finalist in two categories feels pretty special."
The winner of the IRPA Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year awards will be announced next week, along with winners of the Players' World XV of the Year and Team of the Year categories.
Also to be announced will be the IRPA Fans' Player and World XV of the Year awards.
IRPA Players' Player of the Year award shortlist: Leigh Halfpenny (Wales), Kieran Read (NZ), Ben Smith (NZ).
IRPA Players' Newcomer of the Year award shortlist: Israel Folau (Australia), Ben Smith (NZ), Charles Piutau (NZ).

TAYLORSVILLE — Two teenagers narrowly escaped injury when their truck caught on fire Saturday morning.
The two Taylorsville High School ROTC students, 18-year-old Katelyn Price and 16-year-old Daryllin Zitting, were driving home from Lone Rock near Tooele in Price's Dodge Dakota when the truck burst into flames.
Price said she noticed the car acting sluggish and exited I-80. A "good Samaritan" following them began honking his horn and yelled that their car was on fire.
"I told Daryllin to get out of the car, and she was freaking out because she couldn't open the door," Price said. "So I shoved her out, and then I ditched my car myself."
Price said there was some smoke in the cab of the truck, but she didn't see any fire until they were jumping from the vehicle. The truck came to a stop on the side of the road, and Price had just barely retrieved her cell phone when the vehicle burst into flames.
"If he hadn't alerted us, the car would have been on fire and we would have been jumping out in flames," she said.
Zitting said the fire came on fast, and she credits Price with saving her from being injured or killed. She said she had been struggling to get her door open, and it wasn't until Price pushed her that it finally gave way.
"She's willing to save anybody's life," Zitting said. "She's a go-getter."
Zitting's mother, Tracey May, agreed, calling Price a hero.
"She saved our daughter's life and her own life as well," she said.
Price believes that a leaky transmission caused the vehicle to overheat. She said there was a line of fluid on the ground leading to the truck.

Teaching Philosophy
My goals in teaching are to enable students to understand the material and put it into practice in the laboratory, to help them improve their ability to communicate their understanding to peers and others, and to encourage them to use their education as a springboard for furthering a critical understanding of the world.
Over my 25+ years in the classroom and laboratory, and long before "student-centered learning" became a pedagogical catchphrase, I have endeavored to produce an interactive environment that is more than a teacher-centered lecture. Despite the challenges in maintaining this environment while instructing 250 students at once in a large lecture hall (which we do not use in the chemistry department at QCC), as opposed to the small seminar classes, laboratories and one-to-one tutoring sessions I've held, based on written evaluations, through my use of technology, real-world examples, and topical references, and by asking questions to be answered orally and in writing during each class, I have been successful in my goal.
Through the Echols Scholar program during my undergraduate years at The University of Virginia, I was able to design my own course of study, enabling me to couple a BS in Chemistry with economics, philosophy, and advanced studies in Eastern Religions. (My wife was fortunate enough to take part in a similar program at CUNY, and I strongly encourage QCC students interested in such a program to discuss CUNY BA with me.) I continued my multidisciplinary studies in graduate school at Indiana University, transitioning from my organic undergraduate major guided by Frank Carey (with a medical school organic chemistry undergraduate research project and a physical chemistry senior thesis with Ian Harrison) to an inorganic Ph.D. with George Christou, while also auditing courses in Tibetan language and patent law, becoming a firefighter-EMT-Hazardous Materials Technician and firefighter instructor, and taking performance classes in New York and Chicago. In my first class every semester, I encourage my students to really question why they have chosen their course of study, and how it could be better tailored to suit their needs. My aim is for them to learn something, rather than for them to view their classes as merely a means to an end, or their grades as the product they purchase with their tuition.
Especially in my laboratory courses, I have the reputation for pushing students to challenge themselves with written assignments, as I firmly believe that in our culture, how your ideas are expressed is often (for better or worse) of equal importance to their content. In small seminar classes and labs, I am also able to have students describe topics and techniques orally, for which there is no better substitute to gauge full understanding of the material.
I am a strong believer in the use of technology in the classroom, and make extensive use of cutting-edge instructional techniques in my lecture courses.

The new musical "Big Fish" has itself reeled in a big catch: the Neil Simon Theatre.
Based on Daniel Wallace's 1998 novel and the 2003 film directed by Tim Burton, the in-development production has had its eye on Broadway for several years; with a theater now secured, it's set to open Oct. 6 in New York.
Directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman, who has five Tony wins under her belt, "Big Fish" will star two-time Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz ("Catch Me If You Can," "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"). Others in the 27-member cast will include Tony nominees Bobby Steggert and Kate Baldwin, as well as Krystal Joy Brown, Zachary Unger and Tony nominee Brad Oscar, the show's producers announced on Monday.
The movie version of "Big Fish" starred Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney. It's a father-son story in which a young man must wade through the legends about his charismatic father in order to parse myth and fantasy from reality. Screenwriter John August, who penned the film, wrote the book for the staged musical. Tony and Grammy nominee Andrew Lippa ("The Addams Family") wrote the music and lyrics.

The Blockhams in "FACE PAINT"
(Click the image to view full size)
Spring Practice.
That glorious time of year for football fans when the torch is passed
to a new set of leaders, the hunger for gossip is well fed, and
optimism is recharged, renewed, and rewarded.
This spring we have ample reason to be excited, most obviously because
we're once again coming off a successful season with a BCS win under our belt.
But, those victories are now the past, and it would be wise not to dwell on them

Putting a new name up in lights
Wellington Electricity
When The Cheung Kong Group acquired an electricity lines business from Vector and entered the Wellington market, they wanted to create a brand that would acknowledge the catchment area and convey their commitment to service.
We were asked to create a contemporary visual identity for the new energy services brand, Wellington Electricity Lines Limited.
Using a simple abbreviation of the name (WE*) as the identity, gives Wellington Electricity the ability to use its name as a pronoun to create engaging customer communications that feel inclusive and acknowledge commitment to the region.
The identity is a simple, contemporary mark, made up from a grid or network of lights in the Wellington region's colours that reflect the very nature of an electricity infrastructure business. The sans serif typography is clean and modern with a distinctive, engineered look to the characters
Deliverables: Identity design, stationery, signage, website, collateral.

From a very young age it was not hard to tell that Aaron Swartz was a prodigy. By age 14 he was apart of a working group that wrote up RSS 1.0.
He eventually went to Stanford but left after a year explaining in his blog, "It's got some great professors and I certainly learned a bunch, but I didn't find it a very intellectual atmosphere, since most of the other kids seemed profoundly unconcerned with their studies."
Swartz then started his own wiki platform called Infogami that eventually merged with Reddit in 2005. All before he was 20 years old. In 2006, Reddit was purchased by the same publishing company that owns Wired magazine.
Also an activist, Swartz co-founded Demand Progress an organization that focuses on civil liberties, civil rights and government reform. The organization was originally created as his response to SOPA and played a vital role in stopping the bill.
Back in 2011, Swartz downloaded over 4 million academic journal articles from JSTOR to his laptop at MIT. According to an expert witness on his case, Swartz did not "hack" JSTOR, but rather wrote a handful of basic python scripts that first discovered the URLs of journal articles and then used curl to request them.
Being a research fellow at Harvard, Swartz already had a JSTOR account and additionally, MIT has an "open campus" which allows JSTOR to be accessed from the campus network. Within a few weeks into the downloading, Swartz was arrested by police.
This led to a grand jury indictment, although JSTOR decided not pursue a civil litigation against him, MIT pushed forward. Swartz was unwilling to plead guilty in his case, he did not see himself a felon.
Apart of the controversy of this case was that the articles that were downloaded were already free to begin with. JSTOR called his access a "significant misuse".
According to the same blog by the expert witness, "at the time of Aaron's actions, the JSTOR website allowed an unlimited number of downloads by anybody on MIT's 18.x Class-A network. The JSTOR application lacked even the most basic controls to prevent what they might consider abusive behavior, such as CAPTCHAs triggered on multiple downloads, requiring accounts for bulk downloads, or even the ability to pop a box and warn a repeat downloader."
Prosecutors such as Carmen Ortiz were persistent in pursuing Swartz and brought the case under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
"If convicted on these charges, Swartz faces up to 35 years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, restitution, forfeiture and a fine of up to $1 million," said Ortiz in a press release from 2011.
Swartz was found dead in his apartment January 11, 2013. It was reported that he hung himself and left no suicide note.
Shortly after his death , Ortiz defended her actions saying, that her office's actions were "appropriate," and that she had only been seeking a six-month sentence in "a low-security setting" rather than the 30 years' jail that his actions might have attracted.
The prosecutors have received wide-spread criticism for their persecution of Swartz. The most dramatic response though, has been from hacking group Anonymous.
In a column for the Boston Globe, Swartz's first lawyer expressed his frustration by saying, "The thing that galls me is that I told Heymann the kid was a suicide risk, his reaction was a standard reaction in that office, not unique to Steve. He said, 'Fine, we'll lock him up.' I'm not saying they made Aaron kill himself. Aaron might have done this anyway. I'm saying they were aware of the risk, and they were heedless."
On January 26, Anonymous hacked the United States Sentencing Commission (known as Operation Last Resort) shutting down the website and leaving a youtube video explaining their intention and why they chose the USSC.
"This website was chosen due to the symbolic nature of its purpose — the federal sentencing guidelines which enable prosecutors to cheat citizens of their constitutionally-guaranteed right to a fair trial, by a jury of their peers — the federal sentencing guidelines which are in clear violation of the 8th amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishments."
It was explained in the video that enough materials were obtained for multiple "warheads" that would be launched against the US Justice Department. The warheads apparently contain sensitive leaks.
After the site was restored, it was hacked again turning the website into an interactive game of Asteroids. Once everything was blown away, a Guy Fawkes face would be revealed.
The over all goal of these hacks from Anonymous was to make their demands from legal reform known. And unless that happens, the faceless group is willing to cause "collateral damage" by releasing these "warheads."

Before I knew what I had done, I had signed up for two Block of the Month programs.
I'm going to make The Spirit of Sacagawea quilt, which you can join too as a Block Of The Month with Kansas City Star. The quilt is designed by Minick and Simpson. Visit their blog here.
I absolutely love it! I think it is stunning. Especially the story behind it really triggers the need to want to make this. It symbolizes freedom, empowerment, journey of transformation, spirituality and independence for me. When I look at it, I feel joy.
Came across this video on my search for more information about Sacagawea. I think I will be watching this video during the Christmas holidays and New Years break.
Just checked wikipedia . If memory serves me right, I remember hearing about her when I was at the American International School in Athens, Greece, around 1971. Indian culture and history has always fascinated me. I'm sure my mum still has some books that I bought during my teens at her house on this topic.
The other BOM is the Civil War Journals that Dutch Quilts, Den Haan & Wagenmakers, is organizing.
I'll be getting a parcel every month with Judie Rothermel fabrics and hopefully once all the blocks have been put together it will look something like the quilt above. As you know, the American Civil War is another fascination. Absolutely love the civil war repro-fabrics.
I now only need to do a time-management course to learn to juggle my time. I never seem to have enough! It isn't always easy to manage a professional career and a creative pastime.
What intentions do you have for 2012?

Hi truthordarepics,
Here is a picture of my best friend Jackie and I (Lisa) on vacation with another friend of ours swimming nude at night at our hotel. Of course we were tipsy and of course we were crazy as we usually are. See I met Jackie when I was in high school as we worked at a fast food restraunt. It was the middle of summer and hot as hell. The air conditioner went out. I went into the walk-in fridge on my lunch break. One of the girls (her) I worked with came in also to cool off. We started complaining about the heat and just then she took her shirt off to cool down further. She looked at me and said, "oh cmon, nobody will see us" and so I did too. It felt really good to cool down and be away from the grill which was sweltering. But we did almost get caught as someone opened the door just as we were walking out! Anyway, that's how we became friends and since then we've always been daring each other to do silly (sexy) things. We love your site and think it ROCKS!!! - J amp; L

Heller informs the President about the six reactors still at risk for meltdown. President Keeler orders the evacuation of those cities.
From the car, Jack calls Heller's cell phone and warns him not to let anyone know that he's on the phone. Jack says that someone at CTU was responsible for the attack on the security company from which he and Audrey escaped. Jack wants Heller to use one of their DoD tricks to flush out the mole.
Audrey is visibly upset about the second attempt on her life. Tony explains to Jack that Michelle Dessler left him. He was released from prison only because of Jack and President Palmer's help.
President Keeler addresses the nation and calls for an evacuation in the six cities. As they watch the President's broadcast, Curtis whispers to Driscoll that there won't be enough time to completely evacuate those cities. They must find the people who are holding the Override device in order to save lives.
Marwan wants to manage the Override himself to make sure everything still goes as planned. Navi assures him that Dina and Behrooz will be dead by the end of the day.
Behrooz drives nervously. He implores his mother to get medical attention even though Navi knows they will need to go to a hospital. Dina wants him to drop her off and leave, but Behrooz insists that they stay together.
Marianne sneaks into the restroom and phones Powell. He tells her that Jack and Audrey are still alive. Knowing that Jack has not called into CTU, Marianne is sure that Jack is aware of the security breach. Powell orders her to stay at CTU regardless of her getting caught. Sarah enters, and directs Marianne to get back to work.
Heller's assistant, Scott Borman, arrives at CTU. Heller wants him to tell Driscoll that Jack went to watch the surveillance video at an old CTU substation in Torrance. Borman puts out a Defense Department Comsat envelope on CTU so that he can track who transmits any communication about that planted information.
Tony brings Jack and Audrey to his house. He explains to his "friend" Jen that she cannot leave until Jack is safely gone. They access the memory sticks from Felsted on Tony's computer. Jack explains to Audrey that Michelle left Tony after he got out of prison. Tony had refused to find another job and started drinking. Michelle now serves as Deputy Director at Division.
Heller knows that Driscoll won't be happy when she finds out that she was lied to about the mole situation in CTU. However, it's the only way to stop the leak.
Borman informs the CTU staff that Jack wants his whereabouts at the CTU substation to be kept secret. After hearing this, Marianne goes back to her desk and says the phrase "Old CTU substation in Torrance" into a digital voice recorder. She plugs the device into her system and types some commands on the keyboard.
Jack sends the video with the man identified by Audrey to his office at the Department of Defense in Washington.
After Borman finds the person who gave out the faked info, Heller reveals the plan to Driscoll.
Heller and Driscoll walk down to the suspect, flanked by guards. They pass Marianne and go right to Sarah. Sarah is placed under arrest for passing classified information. She pleads that they've made a mistake.
Borman orders Edgar and Marianne to send him all of Sarah's files. Edgar doesn't believe that Sarah would compromise Jack or the investigation. He pulls up the message that Sarah supposedly sent, which was left on her system waiting to be found. Even the encryption is poorly done. Marianne sniffs that Sarah isn't the brightest person.
In the holding room, Driscoll tries to interrogate Sarah, but she insists that she was set up. Torture specialist Eric Richards comes in with his tools. He tasers Sarah, but she sticks to her story.
Driscoll tells Heller that she can only break Sarah if she's guilty. Driscoll doesn't believe that Sarah fits the profile.
Heller informs Jack that they removed the mole. Jack says he will let DoD know that the CTU channels are now clear. Jack asks Heller to send the Secret Service to pick up Audrey.
Jack asks Tony why he never called him for help when he was down on his luck. Tony says that what he did for Jack today is a repayment of the debt he owed for getting him out of prison. Tony doesn't want to be reminded of his past and doesn't want to get involved in the case any further.
Dina is treated at a hospital. Although the doctor thinks it is a gunshot wound, Dina is adamant that she was injured by a nail. Behrooz sees the doctor say something to a nurse, but neither makes a phone call to the authorities. They believe they are safe. Dina tells her son that she can arrange for them to leave the country if they can just get out of Los Angeles.
Marcy at DoD calls Jack with an identification on the man from the surveillance video. His name is Henry Powell and he is a computer consultant for same the company that created the Override device. Powell is currently attempting to leave Los Angeles, and he got a special dispensation to clear grounded air traffic. Jack asks Marcy to prevent Powell's helicopter from taking off. The Secret Service arrives to take Audrey back to CTU. They give Jack a car to go to the helipad.
Jack calls Driscoll and asks her not to tip off Powell by sending backup. He wants to handle this by himself. Tony offers to help Jack.
Edgar asks Curtis about Sarah. He goes back to his desk, eyeing Marianne warily.
As the doctor tends to Dina's wound, Behrooz notices a hospital security guard talking to a nurse. He sees a police car outside. Behrooz pushes the doctor aside, and helps his mother out of the ward. He grabs medical supplies on his way out. They quickly get in their car and speed away. The police are too late to stop them.
Edgar tells Marianne that he finally has bumped up her security clearance. He gives her a screen for her to enter her new password. As she types, the password appears on Edgar's system and he is able to access her files. Marianne becomes suspicious when Edgar keeps looking over at her. She confronts him, threatening to get him fired for protecting Chloe.
Marianne watches as Edgar accompanies Curtis to Driscoll's office. Edgar tells them that he intercepted Marianne's computer and saw her using Sarah's system to communicate outside of CTU.
Curtis chases after Marianne as she leaves the building. In the parking lot, he places her under arrest and orders another agent to impound her car. As the agent puts the key in the door, Marianne's car explodes in a fireball. Marianne is knocked unconscious on the ground.
Powell reaches his helicopter, but the pilot tells him they've been grounded by the Defense Department. Powell pulls out a gun and forces the pilot to take him up.
Jack and Tony arrive at the helipad as the rotors fire up. They surround the chopper with guns raised. Jack apprehends Powell, who offers to pay Jack and Tony to let him go. Suddenly, a shot rings out and Powell is hit in the chest by a sniper hiding on a nearby rooftop. Jack's only lead to the terrorists is now dead.

Yeah, these happened.
Like, I woke up one morning and wanted to make macarons. But not just any macarons. The most ridiculous ones ever.
And these definitely happened.
I mean, chewy-but-kind-of-crunchy macaron cookies making a sandwich around cookie-dough-that-you-can-eat-raw-and-now-care-because-it-has-no-eggs??! These happened and I almost regret it.
I say that because now I know I can make these and it's like an insatiable Cookie Dough Macaron monster has been unleashed and there's no stopping her. I literally had to submerge the excess cookie dough in water so I would be forced to stop eating it by the spoonful, a classic Miranda-esque moment (all you Sex and the City fans, please tell me you've seen that episode).
You guys, the only reason you should be intimidated by macarons is because you think you'll eat half the batch in one sitting. This recipe and technique is tricky to mess up if you follow the directions, and does not take the 24 hours that most recipes call for. Thank god. It's the perfect recipe for a budding Macaron Monster.
So yeah…these will likely be happening again. Soon.
Prep time: 1 hour and 15 minutes | Bake time: 15 minutes| Total time: 2 hours
Yield: approximately 18 macarons
- 3 room temperature egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tbs coco powder
- 1 cup almond flour/meal
Cookie Dough Filling
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 4 tbs milk
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside prepare a piping bag with a 1mm or greater round tip, or just have a 1 gallon baggie with a small corner cut off on hand for piping.
Wipe the bowl of a stand mixer clean so that no oil or residue is on the sides. Add the egg whites and whisk on low speed until frothy. While the mixture is still going, slowly add the gradual sugar. Then turn to high speed and whip until stiff peaks have formed, usually about 3-5 minutes. Your egg whites will be glossy and shiny and beautiful.
In a large bowl, sift together the remaining macaron ingredients. Gently fold in the egg whites and fold the mixture until homogenous.
Scoop the batter into your piping bag of choice, and pipe out approximately 1 inch sized rounds on to the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. I had approximately 36 rounds. Let the cookies rest at room temperature for about an hour, or until the tops of the cookies have slightly hardened.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325° F, placing the oven racks in the middle of the your oven. Bake for 15 minutes, until the tops of the cookies have hardened and the bottom has formed "feet". Remove and let cool.
To make the cookie dough, melt the butter and brown sugar together on medium heat, mixing continuously. When the butter and sugar begins to bubble, remove from heat and let cool completely. Add the flour, salt and vanilla, then add milk. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
To assemble the cookies, place about 1 teaspoon of cookie dough in between two maracons and press down gently. Be careful, your macarons are delicate and can crack easily, so be extra gentle! Continue with the rest of the cookies and enjoy!

Now there are some provisions here. I'm the play-by-play voice of the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA, so I'm normally just on camera at the start of the telecast, at halftime and occasionally after the game. Plus having been on television for more than 30 years, I have some credibility in the marketplace. In other words, I'm accepted for who I am. But if I had to apply for a job as a sports director in another market, well, I doubt I'd get hired for my looks.
Do you have doubts about your looks? I won't kid you—news directors are always on the lookout for that certain somebody who's attractive. But that doesn't mean that the less attractive among us can't get a television job. Short of serious plastic surgery to alter your features, there's still plenty you can do to make the best of what you have. Style your hair and wear clothes that emphasize your best attributes. And most of all, develop the broadcasting skills you need to help you stand apart from the crowd. Be authoritative and conversational. And use the same conversational tone in your writing, making it both personal and unique.
Many times, the pretty face will win out over the better performer/journalist/writer. But that doesn't mean you can't find your way into a television career utilizing your best attributes, whatever they are.

I wanted to write this article a long time ago but the inspiration to write on this came when Hongkong actress Michelle Yeoh was BAR from entering Myanmar.The burmese govt bar her because the govt was suspicious that Michelle is giving Money to Aung San Su Chi in order for Su Chi to fund her political activities.
As far as I am concern,the people of Burma are all coward as they do not have the guts to form an army to overthrow the govt.All the burmese have done is to leave Burma and go to Malaysia to work illegally.
The burmese people especially the young future generation is going to suffer for a long time because the present generation is not willing to sacrifice themselves for thr good of the future.
In order to overthrow the govt and secure a better future for the next generation,the present burmese must form an army and must be willing to sacrifice themselves as alot of people will die in a civil war to kick out the present oppressive regime.
Unfortunately,this is not happening as all the burmese are having a good life in Malaysia. In downtown Kuala Lumpur,the Burmese are no longer working for their boss in the Char Kway Teow,Wantan Mee or Laksa stalls but are instead the Boss of all this food stalls as they rent the stalls from the chinese owner.
Thus ,with such good life and having a business,this burmese will not go home to fight the militery govt and Myanmar will be continue to suffer as the military regime is going to rule for a long time.
