A gift for the vets of tomorrow
11 October 2016
In veterinary circles, Emeritus Professor Marshall Edwards AO (DvetSc '79, Ph.D (Vet Science) '70, BVSc '49), known to everyone as Marsh, is a name with huge recognition factor. Now his wife Marcia has made a gift in his name for Pave the Way.
"I realised this was an opportunity to do what Marsh would have loved to have done," Marcia says as she remembers the man who was helped by a scholarship while he himself was a student. "He was able to do what he did because of help from someone else."
Marsh, who sadly passed away four years ago, was widely recognised for his veterinary achievements as well as for being Dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Science from 1978-79 and again during a time of tremendous change, from 1986-94.
He was also known internationally for an observation that had a profound influence on outcomes for human babies. After an intense heat wave, Marsh noticed that a group of guinea pigs he was observing had a very high rate of birth defects.
A tireless researcher, Marsh began looking at what happened with the guinea pigs and was able to establish that birth defects could be caused by heat stress. The relevance for humans was picked up by the wider medical community and Marsh became a world authority on the subject, acting as a consultant to organisations including the World Health Organisation and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs. In 1994, he became an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO).
Marcia is obviously incredibly proud of all these achievements, but she also remembers their early years together in the 1950s, when Marsh was a hard working country vet in Western Australia.
"There were only five vets outside the city, back in the day in WA," Marcia says. "Marsh might travel from Bunbury to Albany to do a call, and come back again. He could be driving for eight hours a day."
At that time, most of Marsh's work was as a large-animal vet helping farmers keep their stock healthy and productive. As food security becomes a bigger priority around the world, Marcia wants her gift, which will create the Professor Marshall Edwards AO Scholarship, to help students who might also want to do this vital, specialist work.
For Marcia, the gift is a natural extension of Marsh's whole-hearted dedication to his students, many of whom are now prominent members of the veterinary profession, including the current Dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Science, Professor Rosanne Taylor (Ph.D (Vet Science)'88), BVSc '82, DipVetClinStud '83, CertEdStud '02).
"Marsh was a warm, compassionate fatherly figure in the faculty," Professor Taylor remembers fondly. "We learnt a great deal from observing his ways of being a teacher, scientist and leader."
As the scholarship becomes a reality, Marcia is glad that it will help students through their studies, "I just thought it was something I could do," she says matter-of-factly. It also echoes her husband's favourite motto: Chance favours the prepared mind.
Marcia's contribution for Pave the Way is just one of the gifts coming from across the University community. Every gift matters because every extra dollar makes it possible for more incredible things to happen. Give to Pave the Way now.

Hot-dog eating is (almost) all about context. That most plebeian of foods wants to be devoured outdoors, ideally at a stand like the original Nathan's in Coney Island, or at a ballpark, or a cookout, with little thought, no silverware, and an ironclad don't-ask-don't-tell policy on the derivation of a shade Martha Stewart might christen Nitrite Pink.
Having said that, there are certain things one requires in a dog. The elemental snap, of course, and the tongue-tingling jolt of salt. A certain juiciness, and a garlic- forward blend of spices that finds its gustatory counterpoint in the soft, bland roll that cradles it.
The Underground Gourmet has yet to hit Nathan's this year, but we've sampled the wares at a couple of new hot-dog establishments, each taking a different approach to a crowded wiener market. Willie's Dawgs, a cheerfully idiosyncratic Brooklyn arrival, is by far the most ambitious, its menu a sociological study of the appetites and apprehensions of the modern eater, Park Slope genus. They're a skittish bunch, those Michael Pollanreading, Co-op-shopping Slopies, and Willie's menu caters to all their ecogastronomic neuroses. There is a tofu dog, a turkey-and-chicken dog, and even, most profanely, a carrot dogyes, a whole carrot, boiled and marinated and griddled, topped with avocado and Cheddar cheese. Willie's might be the only East Coast purveyor of Let's Be Frank, the San Francisco haute dog made from all-natural, grass-fed beef pastured on the Hearst Ranch. It's brownish and spicy, with a dense, grainy texture more reminiscent of a finely ground meatball than a hot dog. One step down on the hot-dog chain is Willie's Pedigree dog, a thicker, skinless tubesteak with the familiar pink hue and frank flavor. Evolved eaters as we thought we were, we have to admit that our favorite Willie's dog is the Muttan all-beef Karl Ehmer with a natural casing and a good snapand our favorite way to eat it, despite the range of toppings (like Swiss cheese, bacon, and even peanut butter), is with a swipe of mustard, of which there about a dozen obscure varieties to choose from. Willie's, which promotes local dog-rescue organizations and animal adoptions, gets points for effort (not to mention excellent onion rings and bake-sale-style desserts), but house-baked buns are better in theory than in practice: They dwarf the dogs, and never quite coalesce with them. Still, Willie's has a lot of heart and a mighty Mutt.
If Willie's Dawgs takes an innocent, kid-friendly approach to the genre, PDT is the hot-dog joint for grown-ups. Actually, it's the cocktail-lounge annex to Crif Dogs, an East Village mainstay known for its deep-fried Jersey-style franks. Accessed through a vintage phone booth within Crif Dogs, PDT (short for Please Don't Tell) is a snug, sexy speakeasy with a twist: Along with its high-quality classic cocktails and a well-chosen selection of beer and wine, patrons can order food from Crif's kitchen next door. Oddly, it works: A paper boat of foil-wrapped waffle fries goes nicely with the Astoria Bianco, a refreshing martini derivative. PDT's abbreviated menu offers a smallish, bowling-alley-style burger, and four kinds of deep-fried dogsalthough you can put in special requests from the full Crif Dog menu next door, which includes our favorite, the New Yorker, Crif's sole grilled all-beef frank. The idea is genius and a time-saver: food you eat when you're drunk, served while you're in the process of getting that way.

The computation of bounds for linear-functional outputs of weak solutions to the two-dimensional elasticity equations
Tipus de documentArticle
Data publicació2006-01
Condicions d'accésAccés obert
We present a method for the computation of upper and lower bounds for linear-functional outputs of the exact solutions to the two dimensional elasticity equations. The method can be regarded as a generalization of the well known complementary energy principle. The desired output is cast as the supremum of a quadratic-linear convex functional over an infinite dimensional domain. Using duality the computation of an upper bound for the output of interest is reduced to a feasibility problem for the complementary, or dual, problem. In order to make the problem tractable from a computational perspective two additional relaxations that preserve the bounding properties are introduced. First, the domain is triangulated and a domain decomposition strategy is used to generate a sequence of independent problems to be solved over each triangle. The Lagrange multipliers enforcing continuity are approximated using piecewise linear functions over the edges of the triangulation. Second, the solution of the adjoint problem is approximated over the triangulation using a standard Galerkin finite element approach. A lower bound for the output of interest is computed by repeating the process for the negative of the output. Reversing the sign of the computed upper bound for the negative of the output yields a lower bound for the actual output. The method can be easily generalized to three dimensions. However, a constructive proof for the existence of feasible solutions for the outputs of interest is only given in two dimensions. The computed bound gaps are found to converge optimally, that is, at the same rate as the finite element approximation. An attractive feature of the proposed approach is that it allows for a data set to be generated that can be used to certify and document the computed bounds. Using this data set and a simple algorithm, the correctness of the computed bounds can be established without recourse to the original code used to compute them. In the present paper, only computational domains whose boundary is made up of straight sided segments and polynomially varying loads are considered. Two examples are given to illustrate the proposed methodology.

The Luckiest Wedding Date in 2008
Lucky Wedding Date
If you want your wedding ceremony to be on the most prosperous day of the year, set the date for August 8, 2008, or 8/8/08. In the Chinese culture, the number 8 stands for prosperity or sudden fortune. With three 8's in the date, you can expect three times the prosperity, which is a great way to start a marriage.
Another significant notion of 8/8/08 is that when an 8 is turned on its side, it becomes the symbol of infinity. Many couples appreciate this meaningful message because it symbolizes perfect union between male and female.
Friday weddings are the new trend
Although the 8th of August falls on a Friday, don't let that stop you. While getting married on Fridays wasn't the norm fifty years ago, it's certainly becoming more mainstream. Friday weddings are often much less expensive than Saturday weddings.
Especially since the average wedding will cost $27,000 this year, couples want their ceremony and reception held at their favorite spot. This means moving the date from the traditional Saturday to a Friday. Not only will your wedding date be lucky, you'll save some money on the Friday packages.
Think of it this way: why not give your friends and family an awesome place to party. Many brides figure that since the bars during Happy Hour are packed, they might as well offer a reason and location for the party.
Another plus of an 8/8/08 wedding is that August is the month most people get off work to take vacations. The bonus is that your guests will have the rest of their weekend to enjoy.
Have a Las Vegas Wedding
Why not go where Lady Luck resides? Have a Las Vegas wedding! Las Vegas is a terrifc spot for your destination wedding. Besides Lady Luck herself, it offers some of the world's most luxurious hotels, unique locations to say your vows, and world famous parties.
Choosing Las Vegas as your destination wedding is the ultimate way to combine the luckiest day of 2008 with the luckiest city. Since 8/8/08 falls on a Friday, your guests are going to love the fact they have the weekend in Las Vegas!
Las Vegas Wedding Guides
Las Vegas Wedding Packages for 8/8/08
The Venetian offers the Triple Fortune Wedding Ceremony Package which includes a 2-night stay in their suite, a photographer, spa pass, gondola ride, plus more, and is $3,888. The La Bella Wedding Chapel, located in the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel & Casino offers three packages for you to choose from, ranging from $888 to $4,888.
Their Timeless Package includes a two-tier wedding cake, music, a two-hour reception including hors d'oeuvres, and an eighteen red rose bouquet for the bride.
Paris Las Vegas offers a special discount if you book before April 2008 and Harrah's Flamingo offers two 888 packages with the ceremony located in their Garden Chapel.
More Prosperous Ideas for Your Wedding
Continue with the 888 theme by having eight bridesmaids and groomsmen. Or duplicate the 2008 Olympics, which open in Beijing on August 8 at 8:08pm by having your ceremony start at the same time. Incorporate the infinity symbol in the cake topping, centerpieces and aisle runner. Offer an eight-course meal, choose eight different flowers for the bouquet, or an eight-layer cake.
Besides being a memorable, prosperous day, August 8, 2008 allows for a lot of creativity. It's the start of your new life together, so go ahead and have fun!
Great hub- and I agree. 8/8/8 is a VERY popular wedding date, just as 7/7/7 was last year.
Friday weddings, eh? I want to see more wedding hubs!
The chinese number 8 may be the luckiest number, but that doesn't make it a lucky date at all. The 'lucky' dates are based off a chinese lunar calendar and you would have to check if it's even a lucky date. The funny thing about this date is that it lands on a friday. friday is the 5th day of the week and 5 in chinese means "NOT." so if you want to read into it that way, the day may also read as "not properous." If the date had landed on a saturday - the 6th day of the week, it'd definitely make more sense! :)
I used to enjoy painting by numbers when i was younger now i realise that living by numbers can be so important to ones well being...
Sweet Hub! great to know about the number 8. I'll have to plan something special for August the 8th.
regards Zsuzsy
Very nicely done and you are brand new? Congrats and welcome.
Good job on the hub - and quite a creative thought. This summer will be 25 years of marriage for me, so not too useful for me. However, I have a daughter that wouldn't surprise me a bit if that announcement came up.
I hope that your readers don't believe that it only takes luck to have a long, happy marriage. I'm here to say that it take hard work and determination (and maybe a little luck couldn't hurt.)

The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic was to introduce books that we picked up on whim (I interpreted this to mean without recommendation from anyone). I was actually really excited to share some books/comics that I picked up because they sounded interesting. I read so many things based on recommendation that I started trying to find things on my own. I hope you enjoy and be sure to list some books you picked up on a whim below.
Okay! You guys who have been following this blog for a while know how much I absolutely love Fables. I got my initial copy at the library and instantly fell in love. I've been hooked ever since.
I wanted to try more manga and the cover just drew me in and ever since then I've been a huge fan. If you are a foodie that loves manga I have to admit that this is the perfect series for you.
Once again this was solely a cover buy. I thought it would be interesting and I was completely right. Teenage kids and a dead super hero can be a pretty interesting mix.
I just saw a comic that focused on girl power and I was sold. If you are a big fan of Sailor Moon I think you have some potential to enjoy this comic series.
I saw Chimamanda's "We Should All Be Feminists" Ted Talk and I must admit my curiosity was peaked so I just decided to give one of her books a try. Her writing is beautiful. If you haven't read anything by her you must give one of her books a chance.
I found that I was reading a lot of comics that were non-super hero so I decided to branch into this genre. I randomly decided to start with Wonder Woman and I can truly say the first volume was AMAZING!
All I heard was boarding school and weird, freaky supernatural things and I promise you I was completely sold.
I hope you guys enjoyed my list! Let me know about some of the books you picked up randomly.

I read Fables on a whim as well! I picked it up when it was on sale on my Kindle and rater enjoyed it (though I haven't picked up any other volumes than the first yet...)ReplyDeleteReplies
Pick the rest of them up! haha They are absolutely AMAZING! :)Delete
I haven't read any of these! Looks like I'll have more books to add to my to-read list. I've been wanting to read We Should All Be Feminists for a while now. Here is my TTT!ReplyDeleteReplies
LOL if you read any of them let me know what you think!Delete
- AnonymousJune 4, 2016 at 1:58 PM
I still haven't read Spelled, but plan to. It wasn't the biggest buzz book, was it? Still, the synopsis sounds great and it's good to hear that you liked it.ReplyDelete

I just purchased a CycloDS, and have been having a blast with it. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get new Action Replay codes to be read by the CycloDS. For example, when I want to start a game that already has codes in the database, it asks me "Do you want to enable cheat codes for this game?" and pressing Yes takes me to the cheat code manager. However, this does not happen for the more recent games that I want to enable cheat codes for (examples include Infinite Space and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days). The question doesn't even appear at all. Can one of you help me find a solution?

Lightweight, open source web browser that works on many different platforms
Windows XP / Windows 8 / Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows 2003
QtWeb provides users with an option to surf privately but not anonymously. The browsers open-source and based on Nokia's QT framework.

The ability to customize the browser also makes it a flexible choice for those that want the freedom to choose their own tool-bars and options.
For those that value their privacy, a simple click of a button turns on private browsing from the main tool-bar. This prevents the recording of browsing history. It also disables cookies which otherwise allow companies to track your Internet activity. The browser does not save Google search history either. Another great feature is the reset option, Which allows you to move all your history and settings and restore the browser to it's default, original state. While many other browsers claim this functionality, QtWeb focuses on ease-of-use and leaves the option available in plain view for fast changes.
As for flexibility, the browser allows you to move tool-bars in and out of the browsers windows. You can keep tool-bars at the edge of the browser, outside browser window, or place them on your desktop. The benefit to this is a clean, uncluttered browser that still provides a great degree of functionality at your fingertips. Even with all the enhancements, the browser still runs fast in comparison to any of the major open-source or commercial browsers. This browser can be used alongside other browsers or as a complete replacement. It runs video an audio as well as any other platform and supports all the major add-ons you would expect from a modern browser.
If you want a browser that keeps you secure online, prevents other users from accessing your browser history, and gives you all the tools you need to have an enjoyable and fast online experience, the QtWeb browser can suit your needs. One of the major features is the ability to drag tool-bars and place them wherever you want on your desktop or within the browser window itself. The browser is also quite portable. You can install it on USB drive to take the browser with you anywhere.
This web browser is more than a browser, online extensions customize it for your needs

@BeerNuts Yeah that's pretty much what I had except I called it Y-Levels... Up down I dunno the name made sense in my head. XD but I'm glad someone else had the same concept.
But what would happen if I wanted objects that the player could walk over but also go under. for example a bridge. because one of the cities in my game is going to be pretty vertical.
Alundra Physics
Thekill473 posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingWell for awhile now I've had a physics/tile engine in mind but only until now I've found an example. So I was wondering how would I accomplish something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=QtaRXDC-C4M so far I've set up a system where the map is made up of Y-Levels much like stories in a building and then each Y-Level has layers to place different tiles on. Would that system work for something like this or has anybody got something better in mind. Thanks for reading.

Thekill473 replied to 023750260iRock's topic in Your AnnouncementsUmm what lol. None of that made any sense at all. Please try and compose your post into a neater format.
OK Ive figured it. Annoyingly it goes through the properties instead of the actual variables so if the property doesn't have a set method it won't right.
because I've got variables that aren't null and all have values right up unto and even after serialization but in the file only some of the variables are written. And i cant find anything the written variables have in common.
Xml Serialization

Thekill473 replied to Lideln2's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingWell your probably not using c# or xna but there's still some good concepts hidden in here. http://xnagpa.net/rpgtutorials.html And c# and java are like brothers from another mother. So it shouldn't be to hard to read.
Well basically I just needed to be able to fiddle around with multiple things in the owner class. But net's solution worked perfectly.
Thank you Net Gnome your a life saver man. And thanks everybody for taking the time to read this.
Passing this as a ref.
Thekill473 posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingWell this post is much more clearer than my last help post I hope. Basically is there any workaround to pass ref this as a parameter. To a class members function.
Easy programming language
Thekill473 replied to Thelias's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingYou could make some top notch arcade games pretty easily using Game Maker. You can combine drag and drop development with its built in programming language(GML). It's very well documented and basically spoon feeds you programming if that's what your looking for.

Is iGoogle Smokin' Somethin?
I tried out iGoogle, which is like a My Yahoo. Interestingly, there's still some bugs to work on.
I set-up to see the weather for my hometown, which is in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia. It was encouraging to see Georgetown, Malaysia appear on the list. But somehow, I recall we stay in the tropical equatorial whether, where mostly it's hot and humid. Yes, H&H. I was surprised to see the weather forecast. What's happening?
It seems Google put another countries town named Georgetown under Malaysia instead of the correct Georgetown for Penang, Malaysia.
Look closely at the 'observed at' at the above picture.

iPhone 4 Release Day
Yes, so I decided to spoil myself and get the new iPhone. But in my journey of getting the phone I was lucky enough to not have to deal with the crazies that decided to suck up all of the parking at the Brea mall. There were 1000s of people that stood in line all day to try and get the phone. What I do not understand is why not just order it online and have it delivered to your house like I did. I got my phone when they said I would and as you can see from my pictures, I walked right by people who were so desperate to get the phone they every waiting outside in the sun for over 6hrs to get the phone.

Something That You Should Put An Eye On


text:
When we left off in Exodus 32 a few weeks ago, we were confronted with the unbridled, raw emotion of a betrayed God. Moses had begged God to restore the covenant with His people, and yet, the end of chapter 32 left us dismayed with what seemed to be an unequivocal "NO!" I appreciate how Professor Steve Rodeheaver helps us to understand this unsettling place in Scripture: "if we are to know Yahweh's heart, if we are to know the heart that Christ reveals, that's where we must be for now: the not-yet-forgiven side of forgiveness" (Exodus Talks: Pastoral Devotionals from Exodus, CRI/Voice, Institute)
As we continue reading in Exodus 33, we listen as God and Moses continue their conversation once again:
The Lord said to Moses, "Get going, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt. Go up to the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob… And I will send an angel before you… But I will not travel among you, for you are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I did, I would surely destroy you along the way." (Exodus 33:1-3, NLT)
Basically, God is saying that Moses and the people are free to go their own way. God will send an angel before them to clear the way and fulfill the promise to Abraham, but He Himself will not be traveling among the people. The relationship, it seems once again, has been too far damaged. The covenant has been shattered beyond repair. You know, at this point, I think if Moses had any less of a heart for God than he had, this arrangement probably would have seemed good enough. "Okay, God, thanks for at least sparing our lives! I guess we'll be heading our separate ways now… (At least there will be a lot less rules this way.) Well, see you later!" But, no! Moses knew that this arrangement was completely unacceptable. Without God's very Presence in their midst, there was simply no point in continuing to exist as a people.
At this point in the narrative, however, we find this rather awkward break in the flow. Verses 7 through 11 give this seemingly-random aside about Moses and the "Tent of Meeting" (separate from the sanctuary tent) where he would go to speak with God. I didn't appreciate the purpose of this side note until just recently, when I finally realized that the reason we have this passage is so that we have context–a backdrop, so to speak–on the unspeakably intimate friendship which God and Moses enjoyed. This passage helps us to understand why Moses will ask what he is about to ask. But before we get to that part, I just love how verse 11 reads: "Inside the Tent of Meeting, the LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Afterward Moses would return to the camp, but the young man who assisted him, Joshua son of Nun, would remain behind in the Tent of Meeting" (verse 11, NLT). I especially love this part about Joshua. You see, Joshua wanted so badly to experience God's Presence that he would stay behind at the tent after Moses left — just so that he might catch a glimpse of God's lingering Presence. Oh, that we would have hearts for God like Joshua!
Now that we have this backdrop to Moses' and God's friendship in place, let's read what Moses asks of God in verses 12 and on:
Then Moses said to the Lord, "See, You say to me, 'Bring up this people.' But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.' Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people."
And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." (verses 12-14, NKJV)
God's response to Moses is both gracious and loving. But at this point, God has only promised to personally be with Moses, singularly. Yet Moses' courage and confidence is bolstered by this response, and he's ready to probe God's heart even deeper for the sake of the people:
Then he said to Him, "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth."
So the Lord said to Moses, "I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name." (verses 15-17, NKJV)
Amazing grace, unfailing love! God's goodness and graciousness know no bounds. Israel is forgiven and the covenant is renewed. The relationship is restored! I can only imagine Moses' breathless relief and ecstatic wonder at this response. His heart is so overcome by God's words that he blurts out the most daring request of all: "Please, show me Your glory" (verse 18). I imagine that God's heart thrilled at Moses' request for deeper intimacy! Moses' request is granted, yet, God must warn Moses that only His back can be seen. God then arranges for Moses to meet with Him again on the mountain.
As we come to Exodus chapter 34, our anticipation as the reader can hardly be contained. This is the first time in the biblical narrative that someone will actually encounter God's full glory! Even if it is only God's back, we eagerly wait to see what this experience will be like. What will it look like? What will it feel like? And, yet, when we get to verses 5 through 7, we are left surprised–maybe even a little disappointed at first–at the lack of a physical description of the event. Instead, here's what we get:
Then the Lord came down in a cloud and stood there with him; and he called out his own name, Yahweh. The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out,
"Yahweh! The Lord!
The God of compassion and mercy!
I am slow to anger
and filled with unfailing love [hesed] and faithfulness ['emet].
I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations.
I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin.
But I do not excuse the guilty… " (Exodus 34:5-7, NLT)
No description of what God looked like. No description of what the encounter felt like. Instead, what do we get? We get a transcript of God's character. We get a picture of how God chooses to relate to His people. We are reintroduced to who God really is: the LORD is full of immeasurable compassion, boundless mercy, unfailing love, and eternal faithfulness! I especially love the use of the Hebrew word hesed. Hesed describes a love so deep, so intense, so radical, that we simply don't have an English word to describe it. It's a word that is never used to describe the love between a man and women, because that kind of love simply isn't deep enough. It's only ever used to describe the self-sacrificing, unfailing love of God for you and me. Likewise, the Hebrew word 'Emet denotes uncompromising fidelity, unwavering reliability, unchanging faithfulness. Moses wants us to know that this is what God's glory is like!
As we close out our weeks, my prayer is that we will develop an insatiable thirst for God's Presence just like Moses and Joshua. Like Moses, let our prayer be that God's Presence will "go with us" in every step of our daily journey. It's a prayer God's heart is yearning to answer.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Even before shows like "Dance Moms" and "America's Got Talent" entertained viewers, generations of young boys and girls have grown up with dreams of stardom in dance, theatre or music, but those who follow their dreams know that it takes years of mental and physical discipline and, as one osteopathic physician (DO) points out, it also strains their developing bodies.
During the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) OMED 2012, the Osteopathic Medical Conference & Exposition, Rebeccah R. Rodriguez, DO, an AOA board-certified family physician and company physician for the San Diego Ballet, the Academy of Performing Arts of San Diego and the San Diego Symphony, discussed the stress that training in the performing arts puts on adolescents' bodies and how to prevent injuries.
"As a former professional dancer, I absolutely encourage young artists to follow their dreams," says Dr. Rodriguez. "But parents should be aware of the potential for injury and discuss their child's artistic goals and training with their physician so they can work together to treat injuries early."
There are certain injuries that are unique to each genre of the performing arts. For instance, advanced ballerinas— who can spend an average 35-40 hour per week dancing— are prone to strained hip flexor muscles and pain in their knees due to repeatedly turning out their legs to 180 degree angles. Dr. Rodriguez believes that treating injuries early can help avoid further complications, but she also reminds dancers to discuss their upcoming roles or performances with their physician so they can ensure their bodies will be able to handle the physical demands.
In the case of singers-- who run the risk of vocal cord injuries, chronic laryngitis and nodules or cysts forming on vocal cords due to overuse-- Dr. Rodriguez suggests avoiding whispering or yelling, and cutting out spicy foods and drinking 10-12 glasses of water daily as soon as they start to experience hoarseness, which is often the first sign of a vocal issue. They should also talk to their physician about prescribing a medication that is not drying (i.e. antihistamines), which can also irritate the vocal cords.
"The level of skill and competition for young performers is so much greater than it was even five years ago," adds Dr. Rodriguez. "As the talent bar is raised, adolescents are at greater risk for injuries."

The mortgage and real estate markets have unsurprisingly responded coolly to the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform's proposals for tax reform, which include rolling back components of the mortgage interest deduction (MID). On Wednesday, the commission, a bipartisan entity established by the Obama administration, released its suggestions for cutting the national deficit in a report titled 'The Moment of Truth'.
Under current law, mortgage interest is deductible for itemizers, and the MID covers mortgages of up to $1 million for primary and secondary residences. The MID also applies to home equity loans of up to $100,000.
The commission recommends revising the tax code to include MID provisions for principal residences only, as well as lowering the cap on eligible mortgages to $500,000.
"Recent progress has been made in bringing stability to the housing market, and any changes to the MID now or in the future could critically erode home prices and the value of homes by as much as 15 percent, according to our research,' says Ron Phipps, president of the National Association of Realtors.
California Association of Realtors (CAR) President Beth L. Peerce says that 'any change that reduces the ability of the market to heal is misguided and must be rejected.' According to the CAR, of the taxpayers who itemize deductions, more than 81% take the MID.
Michael D. Berman, chairman of the Mortgage Bankers Association, has similarly slammed the commission's proposal, saying alterations to the MID would have a 'devastating impact.'
'It would immediately stop in its tracks any stabilization we are seeing in the housing market and would effectively increase the cost of homeownership for millions upon millions of people,' Berman says.

I promised my husband I would complete a few scrap projects to whittle down my stash before baby comes. (I secretly am only doing it so that I have an excuse to purchase more fabric after baby!)
My little one is still working on mastering colors. I saw this little color matching game on Pinterest. I always have clothes pins laying around, so it was a quick easy project.
A few thoughts.
1. I made two quickly since I cut the fabric into squares and then into triangles.
2. I used markers to color the clothes pins and wrote the color name on the other side. The marker will wipe right off if you don't spray it with a sealant or use paint.
This is headed for my son's Easter basket. The duplicate is part of a birthday gift for a friend.

Forget Scalextric! This explosive racer is the ultimate toy for boys
ANKI Drive speeds in to the UK with real cars, real track and destructive battle mode
Gentlemen unroll your race track, power up your iPhone and GO…GO…GO!
Anki Drive is the next generation of racing sim and the Scalextric style game is going to be unleashed in the UK tomorrow.
What makes this game so unique is the high-tech flexible track and sensor packed cars that scan their surroundings hundreds of times a second to keep you on the road.
Using an Apple device to drive these mini motors, you can take on your opponents with a straight race or go all out with the awesome battle mode.
With the virtual weapons loaded, you can fire at your friends and with enough hits on target you'll stop them in their tracks or blast them clean off the road.
It's like Laser Quest meets F1.
And don't worry if you don't have any mates as the cars are all equipped with artificial intelligence, so can race you without the need for human help.
Another feature that makes Anki Drive so different is by racing and winning, you earn virtual cash that you can spend upgrading your cars.
Each racer is rechargeable and will bring around 20 minutes of play, but don't panic, it only takes around 8 mins to fill the battery again.
This next generation racer hits the Apple Store tomorrow, but the Daily Star online has already had an exclusive play, and we think this is going to be the best game of the year.
"We're modernising the race car experience so that you and your friends can have more fun.""Boris Sofman, CEO and founder of Anki
Boris Sofman, CEO and founder of Anki said "The toys we've played with for the last decade really haven't changed much.
"We wanted to completely re-think the way we play using AI and robotics.
"With DRIVE, we're taking what people loved about their favourite race car growing up, layering in the challenging game play found in video games, and giving it a 21st century boost.
"We're modernising the race car experience so that you and your friends can have more fun."
The Anki Drive starter pack will set you back £179.99 and includes everything you need to go racing.
You'll get the 2.6metre x 1metre track, two cars and tyre cleaner. Each extra car costs £49.99.
Currently, Anki Drive is only compatible with Apple devices such as the iPhone, IPad and iPod Touch, but hopefully Android could come later this year.

Ethics and success
Thesis statement: We should be aware that we are different and that we do not necessarily have to agree with others as they with us. In order to make people respect us and our thoughts we have to respect others.
Nowadays, new devices such as the media and the Internet play a great role in our lives. People now are aware of everything just by staying at home. These new deices opened the eyes of the world. Being aware of what happens around us in the world is a great thing although like anything it has its advantages and disadvantages. We should be aware that not everything we hear or se is presented in the right way, and that the media and the Internet can be manipulated to affect people's ideas and thoughts. Foe example, when we hear talks in the U.S.A about the Palestinian war, we can clearly see how they consider martyrs, they always consider them suicides, and always relate Islam to terrorism.
This can be an example of unethical speech. Ethics should be respected everywhere, otherwise our world will become "a human jungle" if everyone says or does what he wants without considering or respecting others. We should be aware of ethics not just in the workplace, but at home, at school, university, even in the street, etc. ....
We should be aware that we are different and we do not necessarily have to agree with others as they with us. In order to make people respect our thoughts and us we have to respect others.
Ethics are very important for one's reputation because they reflect one's personality. For this reason parents should bring up their children by informing them of ethics and how to behave ethically as it will be more difficult...

Sheriff's Department reports to Council
WILLIAMSPORT - The Washington County Sheriff's Department's resident deputies responded to 104 complaints in July in Williamsport, according to a report presented Monday at the Williamsport Town Council meeting.
Deputies issued 13 speeding tickets, eight other tickets and 12 warnings.
Deputies arrested two adults and charged two people with driving while intoxicated or under the influence.
One person allegedly drove under the influence of heroin, according to the report. Sheriff Douglas Mullendore, who attended the meeting and read the report aloud, added that heroin use is on the rise in the area.
Another deputy charged a different person with driving under the influence of alcohol. The driver's blood-alcohol content was .24, according to the report.
In Maryland, the minimum blood-alcohol content for a charge of driving under the influence is .08.

Clifftop Weddings
The Clifftop weddings take place either in Bohalis or at Lofos Strani. Both areas are in between the main Town and Tsilivi. Bohali has a spectacular view of Zakynthos town and the harbor. This breathtaking area can be used in the beginning and during the end of the season when it is very quiet.
Alternatively, Lofos Strani has a panoramic view of the plateau with Tsilivi beach in the background. Surrounded in tall pine trees the shade is broken by that odd ray of light that shines through. The stone paved walkway leads uphill to the statue of Solomos. Here our leading poet wrote the national anthem. There are park benches for your guests to sit down if they wish. The peaceful atmosphere in so tranquil that the only things you hear are the chirping of the birds.
Your guests are transferred here a bit earlier by bus or taxi. While enjoying the view the wedding preparations are made. As their entrance song begins the bride makes her appearance as she walks towards the "man of her dreams".
Most of the frills that enhance a wedding can be brought and set up in this location. You can still have your arch of flowers, horse and carriage, champagne tower and much more. After the ceremony your guests are again transferred to your chosen reception venue and the couple is taken to the beach for photos.
This venue caters for small groups and couples that would like a "low tone" wedding ceremony. Something simple and romantic is how many, that "tied the knot," describe this place.

the act or state of walking, eating, or performing other motor acts while asleep, of which one is unaware upon awakening; somnambulism.
of or pertaining to the state of walking while asleep; somnambulistic.
In the last week he has attempted to go to the bathroom in my craftroom and get his stuffed animal from the garage (both in the middle of the night). Thank goodness I was parked in the prime location to catch him on both occasions, before disaster struck. Of course, if you ask him about this, he'll deny, deny, deny. But, the 2nd time, I had my wits enough about me to capture a few photos for evidence.
Hours after bedtime, do you find your little one wandering the hall looking dazed and confused? If you have a sleepwalking child, you're not alone. It can be unnerving to see, but sleepwalking is very common in kids and most sleepwalkers only do so occasionally and outgrow it by the teen years. Still, some simple steps can keep your young sleepwalker safe while traipsing about.
- lack of sleep or fatigue
- interrupted sleep
- illness or fever
- certain medications
- stress (sleepwalking is rarely caused by an underlying emotional or psychological problem)
Behaviors During Sleepwalking
Of course, getting out of bed and walking around while still sleeping is the most obvious sleepwalking symptom. But young sleepwalkers may also:
- sleeptalk
- be hard to wake up
- seem dazed
- be clumsy
- not respond when spoken to
- sit up in bed and go through repeated motions, such as rubbing their eyes or fussing with their pajamas
- Also, sleepwalkers' eyes are open, but they don't see the same way they do when they're awake and they often think they're in different rooms of the house or different places altogether.
- Sometimes, these other conditions may accompany sleepwalking:
sleep apnea (brief pauses in breathing while sleeping)
bedwetting (enuresis)
night terrors.
Is Sleepwalking Harmful?
Most sleepwalkers don't sleepwalk often, so it's not usually a serious problem. However, sleepwalking episodes can be hazardous when they're frequent or intense. Why? Because sleepwalking kids aren't awake and may not realize what they're doing, such as walking down stairs or opening windows.
Sleepwalking is not usually a sign that something is emotionally or psychologically wrong with a child. And it doesn't cause any emotional harm. Sleepwalkers tend to go back to bed on their own and probably won't even remember the nighttime stroll.
How to Keep a Sleepwalker Safe
Although sleepwalking isn't dangerous by itself, it's important to take precautions so that your sleepwalking child is less likely to fall down, run into something, walk out the front door, or drive (if your teen is a sleepwalker).
- To help keep your sleepwalker out of harm's way:
- Don't awaken a sleepwalker because this might scare your child. Instead, gently guide him or her back to bed.
- Lock the windows and doors, not just in your child's bedroom but throughout your home, in case your young sleepwalker decides to wander. You may consider extra locks or child safety locks on doors. Keys should be kept out of reach for kids who are old enough to drive.
- To prevent falls, don't let your sleepwalker sleep in a bunk bed.
- Remove sharp or breakable things from around your child's bed.
- Keep dangerous objects out of reach.
- Remove obstacles from your child's room and throughout your home to prevent a stumble. Especially eliminate clutter on the floor (i.e., in your child's bedroom or playroom).
- Install safety gates outside your child's room and/or at the top of any stairs.
Other Ways to Help a Sleepwalker
Unless the episodes are very regular or your child is repeatedly engaging in dangerous sleepwalking behaviors, there's no reason to treat sleepwalking. But if the sleepwalking is frequent or your child hasn't outgrown it by the early teen years, talk to your doctor.
For kids who sleepwalk often, doctors may recommend a treatment called scheduled awakening. This disrupts the sleep cycle enough to help stop sleepwalking. In rare cases, a doctor may prescribe medication to help a child sleep.
Other ways to help minimize your child's sleepwalking episodes:
- Have your child relax at bedtime by listening to soft music or relaxation tapes.
- Establish a regular sleep and nap schedule and stick to it — both nighttime and wake-up time.
- Make your child's bedtime earlier. This can improve excessive sleepiness.
- Don't let kids drink a lot in the evening and be sure they go to the bathroom before going to bed. (A full bladder can contribute to sleepwalking.)
- Avoid caffeine near bedtime.
- Make sure your child's bedroom is quiet, cozy, and conducive to sleeping. Keep noise to a minimum while your child is trying to sleep (at bedtime and naptime).
The next time you encounter your nighttime wanderer, don't panic. Simply maneuver your child back to the safety and comfort of his or her bed. Then you can both probably have a good laugh about it in the morning.

From groceries to laundry detergent to prescription drugs, seemingly anything can be delivered to your front door.
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that a pair of New York-based entrepreneurs using a FreshDirect-business model for Christmas trees is now expanding.
You can dispense with schlepping to a tree lot and arriving home exhausted only to wrangle with a wobbly tree stand and crooked skirt. Tyler's Trees' staff—or "elves," as they call themselves—will do it all for a flat fee, starting at $139 for a 5-footer. The price includes delivery, installation, and a stand and skirt.
"We make sure it's perfect on the center line, put it into fresh water, and it's ready to go," said co-founder Tyler Kupper. "All you have to do is put lights on and ornaments, and you're done."
And if you'd rather not untangle lights and fuss with glass ornaments, decoration services start at $129.
"We employ a professional decorator who has experience doing storefronts," said Tyler's Trees' other co-founder, Brian Millman. The personalized trimming services are sold out for this holiday season, though.

Hey all,
Sketchup seems like an awesome tool for furniture design. I've read tons of blogs/posts that talk about the utility of the program, but every time I've tried to use it I get frustrated and give up. It's a little intimidating and, at least for me, not very intuitive.
With a new baby in the house I'm doing a lot more sitting at the computer and a lot less making saw dust in the shop. I figured I'd capitalize on the down time and learn how to use Sketchup.
I found the Ana White tutorial through Google this AM, and have been pretty impressed with the basic explanation and step-by-step instructions for creating a basic book shelf. It has really helped me figure out how to use the basic commands in the program and get a feel for moving components around in the 3D environment.
Here's the link in case anyone else is interested.
Also, I think it would be really cool to see if anyone has any other tutorials they've found that are particularly helpful.

Up until now I've just been mulching around my apple trees. But I've decided it's time to get serious about making an apple guild.
"Guild" is a permaculture term that means a group of plants, usually with a food-bearing tree in the middle, that support each other, providing for each other's needs. They typically consist of some combination of nitrogen fixers (so you don't have to fertilize so much), deep-rooted nutrient accumulators (for bringing nutrients from deep in the soil up to where other plants, including the tree, can use them), insect attractors (for attracting pollinizing and pest-eating insects), mulch makers (than you can slash periodically for on-the-spot mulch, or that drop a lot of litter to act as mulch), and ground covers (to protect the soil from splashing rains and too much sun, and to suppress weeds). Typically, some of the plants will be shrubs and some will be perennials. There may even be a vine or two. Annuals are usually avoided in a guild, unless they self-sow.
I'm just starting this guild, so it doesn't have everything it will eventually have. For example, I'll want to put 4 or 5 berry bushes around the edges--maybe goosberries, currents, honey berries, or goumis (which are nitrogen fixers). And I don't have any nitrogen fixers, but I bought a packet of sweet peas, which I'll plant to grow up the cheap-and-cheesy deer fence.
So here's what I got, and why I got it.
- 2 artichoke plants. I really like artichokes, so that's a good reason to grow them--although 2 plants isn't very many. But artichoke plants are nice in a fruit-tree guild or a food forest because they have leafy growth that you can slash for mulching in place. I'm not sure whether you can do this during the summer, or whether you need to wait until they die down at the end of the year. That's the deer fencing in front of the plant.
- I transplanted a couple sprouts from the black-eyed susan in my front yard. I see all kinds of little bugs flitting around the ones in the front yard, so I'm sure they'll attract some that are beneficial. And I've seen Red Admiral butterflies on them too, so that's another benefit. And...I just like them (not everything has to be utilitarian!). They will spread into a nice-sized clump.
- I planted a lemon thyme plant. Just one, but it will spread--I think. I know English thyme can spread quite a bit, but I expect this to be a little tamer. Thyme is good because it's a ground cover, and it's a nice culinary herb. But it's also aromatic, so it's possible it'll help repell some pests. If not, that's OK. It's a pretty little thing.
- I planted 4 strawberry plants. I don't know that they do much besides cover the ground. But they do do that, and they are mighty tasty berries. Again, 4 strawberry plants isn't a lot. But there will be more in other apple-tree guilds. It's good to mix up the plants rather than having all of one kind grouped together.
- In the strawberry picture, you can see a parsley plant. They're supposed to be good for attracting beneficial insects.
- And finally, I planted 1 small lavendar plant. I must be really strange because I really don't like the scent of lavendars. But they are beautiful small bushes, and they probably attract beneficial insects.
- Oh, and I sprinkled some seeds from a wildflower mix.
- I'm toying with the idea of planting some nasturtiums around the outside of this--haven't decided yet. But "nasties" are a pretty ground cover, and nice mulching plant, have edible leaves and flowers, and are really pretty. So I'll probably add some.
That's it so far. One of the goals of creating fruit-tree guilds and food forests (which is basically an expanded version of a guild), is to increase bio-diversity. I've got a fairly good start here. I'll add more next year (or maybe later this year, if I get impatient!).

Kite Photography in Antarctica
Speaker: Chris Henderson (Mawson's Huts Foundation)
Date: Thursday 9 August 2012, 11 AM
Venue: Theatrette, Australian Antarctic Division, 203 Channel Highway, Kingston, Tasmania
Kite photography is a cheap and easy way to get low-level aerial photographs without disturbing the local fauna. Dr Chris Henderson developed the technique as part of the Mawson's Huts Foundation trip to Cape Denison, Commonwealth Bay in 2010. About 6,000 photographs were taken at heights ranging from 5-50 metres on many flights. As you can imagine flying kites at Cape Denison - the windiest place on earth - proved a bit of a challenge. It has been tried and failed 3 times in the past - this is the first successful attempt. The talk will cover the techniques of kite photography, demonstrate the equipment and discuss the numerous ways in which it was used for various projects during the 2 month visit.
BIO: Dr Chris Henderson has degrees in science, medicine and engineering. He went to Casey in 1986 as a scientist studying motion sickness, to Cape Denison in 2009 as the Doctor, and 2010 as the Engineer. He spent several years at university, became a GP, then a remote area doctor for 10 years in NW Australia. Then he went to prison as Director of Health Services in WA and Tasmania for 7 years before regaining his freedom. Now he is a university tutor and GP, and develops equipment for filming in remote locations.

KONTRON has released the E²Brain EB405a RISC processor-based computer-on-module (COM) with a 266MHz IBM PowerPC 405EP processor. The energy-saving RISC module is suitable for embedded systems in the real time domain, with minimum power consumption and passive cooling.
It is an add-on component for customised embedded systems. Standardised modules allow the user to focus on the design of the equipment without having to undertake the complex development of a processor core. In commercial applications, the low-power (1W at 200MHz) 405EP processor is used for routers, modems, access points and comparable high-volume network applications.
For interfaces it provides two fast Ethernet ports as well as two or four serial ports, each of which is designed to function as Rx/Tx Terminal or UART interfaces. Individual expansions are easily done with the 32-bit, 33/66 PCI bus, the LPC I/O bus and the I²C-bus. All these interfaces are connected to the baseboard with four standard SMD connectors.
The module is provided with 16MB or 64MB of directly-soldered SDRAM, measuring 75mm x 115mm. Additional features include 4MB or 8MB Flash, E²Prom for user and configuration data and an interface for Compact Flash cards. The physical slot for the Compact Flash memory media is placed on the baseboard. Debugging and onboard programming are accomplished via the implemented JTAG/BDM interface.
The module is designed for a single-source 3.3V supply. The standard version of the E²Brain EB405 is intended for use at temperatures ranging from 0°C to 70°C. An optional version with an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C is also available. Watchdog and real-time clock round out the feature set. Software support is provided by an OS-independent boot loader with network support as well as a Linux and VxWorks board support package.

Red Carpet Looks: Lighter and Brighter at The Grammys
With lots of "pomp" under celebratory circumstances, the 54th annual Grammys red carpet and performances didn't disappoint. We saw plenty of trends throughout the evening, with stars like Adele and Rihanna rocking lighter looks, Alicia Keys and others hitting new heights with their updos and some not-so-usual suspects surprising us with elegant and edgy styles. Take a look at who caught our attention during the show.
Before mesmerizing Grammys-watchers with her performance and sweep of each category she was nominated in, Adele wowed on the red carpet with a shorter, Marilyn Monroe-esque golden style, a departure from her usually auburn and volumunious longer locks. Which brings us to another superstar exploring the blonder side of the street...
Though much of the focus was on her sexy, barely-there ensemble, Rihanna's new blonde 'do caught a lot of eyes, as well. Though a bit on the "rooty" side, her texture and cut were an awesome throwback to the '80s days of Tina Turner (and maybe even a little Whitney Houston?).
She certainly wasn't the only one rocking heighth on the red carpet, but Alicia probably did it best. Her pomp lacked any signs of frizz, but excelled with definition and staying power.
Looks like her voice wasn't the only thing paying tribute to Whitney. Jennifer Hudson's usually sleek and lengthy strands took a break for the evening in favor of a voluminous, yet contained, bob during her rendition of "I Will Always Love You." Suits her well, don't you think?
Despite our confusion over her presence at the awards show, we were pleasantly surprised to see Paris rocking a sophisticated but sweet side bun. Was the slight wave at the front intentional? Not sure, but it's a nice touch.
Never one to disappoint at a big event, Carrie's loosely pulled back style was the most elegant on the red carpet, with a slight twist--literally--at the back. It complemented her multiple gowns beautifully, and we're not surprised she made most of the best-dressed lists from the evening.
Which celeb rocked your favorite hair style on the red carpet? Tell us on MODERN's Facebook wall at facebook.com/modernsalon.

One of the largest art museums in the United States, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, has recently revealed plans to renovate and expand under the leadership of internationally renowned architect, Frank Gehry. The Pritzker Architecture Prize winner is based out of Los Angeles and has designed multiple famous buildings such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, California, and many others. Gehry is known for his style of Deconstructivism, which is so named due to its ability to go beyond structural definition.
The exhibit presenting Gehry's blueprints and design plans for the museum was revealed on Monday. Much to everyone's surprise, the project idea is dramatically different and unique compared to the architect's usual blueprints. The plan focuses on the interior of the main building by renovating spaces such as the Great Stair Hall, access to previously closed vaulted walkways, extreme improvements on how the guests of the museum will enter and move throughout it, as well as a substantial amount of additional space in an effort to display even more works of art, and the inclusion of a brand new Education Center. The exhibit includes detailed, large-scale models, photographs, videos, and architectural drawings.
The design of the renovations will bring a new, modern feel to one of the city's greatest classic landmarks. The design will not only reorganize the Philadelphia Art Museum, but will also expand it with an addition of more than 169,000 square feet of area. Unlike Bilbao, Biloxi, or other buildings that Gehry has designed, the art museum expansion is to be built below the surface. The blueprints and plans to transform the interior will remain on view in the exhibit until Sept. 1.
Although most view the renovations to the historic facility as necessary, especially in terms of expansion to better accommodate visitors as well as current and future needs, some disagree with what Gehry has planned for the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Critics believe that hiring Gehry to expand on a classic building was to draw in attention, more specifically from fundraisers, instead of building a more conservative expansion with a lesser known architect. What perhaps bothers most critics, however, is Gehry's plans to alter the most famous steps in Philadelphia, the museum's east steps, or, "Rocky Steps" as it is unofficially known. Gehry's design is to cut into the steps that fictional character Rocky Balboa climbed up in the movie Rocky to create a street level entrance. Multiple Philadelphians have been speaking out in anger, citing that cutting out a piece of the "Rocky Steps" is like cutting out a piece of their childhood.
The cost of the renovations fall in between the $350-500 million price range and the building's leaders expect to have the expansion completed by the museum's 100th birthday, in the year 2028. When the building celebrated its first birthday, in the midst of the roaring 20s, newspapers all over the country were reporting of scandals that the museum had ended up costing more than $13 million, instead of its original claim of only $3.5 million.
Even though there are many diverging points of views on the new renovation, the building is sure to make a historical impact on the city of brotherly love. Whether the impact is positive or negative has yet to be determined, but so far, Gehry's exhibit and design ideas have been highly praised. As the museum of art expands, so does the acceptance of modernizing the classic building in Philadelphia.

KPCC is following developments in the story of a man who drove his car onto the Venice Beach boardwalk Saturday and, according to police and surveillance video, appeared to swerve into the crowd intentionally. An Italian woman on her honeymoon died as a result, and 15 other people were injured, including 11 who were taken to hospitals. Nathan Campbell, 38, the alleged driver of the Dodge Avenger, turned himself in an hour later and was being held in lieu of $1 million bail.
- 3:31 p.m.: Police raise estimate of number hurt in Venice crash
- 2:23 p.m.: Driver may have had arrest record in Colorado
- 11:40 a.m.: Driver had been arrested in Santa Monica before
- 7:58 a.m.: Councilman calls for better barriers at Venice boardwalk
Update: 3:31 p.m.: Police raise estimate of number hurt in Venice crash
The LAPD has raised to 16 its estimate of the number of people struck by a driver who careened onto the Venice boardwalk on Saturday, including one woman who died.
Of the 15 people who were injured, 11 were taken to local hospitals for treatment. All of those people have since been released, police told KPCC.
Alice Gruppioni, 32, was the sole fatality reported in the incident. Gruppioni was visiting Venice on her honeymoon after being married about two weeks ago. Her husband, Christian, survived and was among the injured.
Update 2:23 p.m.: Driver may have had arrest record in Colorado
A man named Nathan L. Campbell, who has the same birthdate as the Venice boardwalk hit-and-run suspect, was arrested at least three times in Denver, according to Denver County Court records.
The offenses all occurred on 16th Street, a popular downtown shopping street that, like the Venice boardwalk, also attracts both tourists and transients.
RELATED: Venice Boardwalk: Vigil for victims planned Monday; witnesses describe scene
In 2008 Campbell was accused of disturbing the peace and trespassing. He was convicted of the trespassing count and fined. It's unclear from the record if he was jailed.
He was arrested in February 2009 on suspicion of shoplifting and received a five-day jail sentence. He was arrested again in July 2009 on suspicion of trespassing and got 10 days in jail.
Update 11:40 a.m.: Driver had been arrested in Santa Monica before
Nathan Campbell's arrest on suspicion of running down pedestrians on the Venice Boardwalk is not his first brush with the law.
The Santa Monica Police Department arrested Nathan Louis Campell on suspicion of public intoxication last year, according to arrest records.
A man with the same name and birthdate as the Venice boardwalk suspect was arrested last May, held overnight and then released, said Terry White, chief deputy city attorney of Santa Monica.
White says the city did not prosecute him. He did not have further details of the incident.
Five patients received from the crash at UCLA Medical Center were all released as of the end of Sunday, including one of the victims who was listed in serious condition.
Update 7:58 a.m.: Councilman calls for better barriers at Venice boardwalk
Councilman Mike Bonin said the city should install more barriers to prevent vehicles from driving onto the Venice boardwalk after a hit-and-run driver ran his car through beach crowds Saturday, killing an Italian honeymooner and injuring 11 other people.
"[Saturday's] incident might have been harder to stop, because this was a determined act of violence of someone who was really sick and determined to do harm. Most of the incidents are accidental — they can be prevented with better signage or barriers," Bonin said.
According to Los Angeles police, "confused or lost tourists, perhaps even following directions on smartphone apps, inadvertently turn onto the boardwalk, and occasionally there's a small accident," Bonin said.
Bonin told KPCC he plans to introduce a motion on Tuesday calling for a needs assessment for each intersection leading up to the boardwalk. At some intersections, he said, permanent bollards or large decorative planters could be installed to discourage vehicular traffic. At others, removable bollards would need to be installed to allow emergency vehicles to get through.
Bonin said he was not sure yet what the cost to the city would be, but after some informal research he guessed it could range from as little as $50 or $100 up to $800 for the barriers.

Anne has spoken at over 100 churches in the last seven years ranging in size from 45-3000 and ages 12 to 97. Anne considers herself non-denominational but grew up in the Baptist church, was ordained in a former Southern Baptist church overseen by a Presbyterian minister and found refreshing hope in the liturgy in the Anglican church. She currently attends a non-denominational church. She considers herself theologically conservative and loves learning and discussing different ideas and views with others in a kind and peaceful manner.
"It was a privilege to have Anne Marie Miller as our guest for our youth leaders conference. She is a gifted communicator who offers a transparent approach to delivering the powerful message of hope and grace."- Jim Sparks, The Salvation Army – USA West
"Anne brings and authenticity to her speaking born out of rich life experiences and her deep commitment to Christ. She is one who manages to speak to the masses, and at the same time make you feel like she is speaking directly to you."– Dr. Kate Davelaar Guthrie, International Program's Coordinator at Duke's Center for Reconciliation
"Anne Marie Miller spoke with candor and insight about the challenges of living honestly and compassionately with ourselves and others. Through telling her own story she encouraged our students to take the risk of being vulnerable with one another and so move further down the path of freedom from the sins that weigh us down and the fear that cripples genuine community."
Greg W. Carmer, Ph.D.
Dean of Christian Life & Theologian in Residence
Gordon College
"Anne was a fresh voice and dealt with challenging issues that many people shy away from. I really appreciated her open and honest approach without having to shock people with too many details that can sometimes take people off track. We've heard a lot of great feedback. Her message of restoration and relationship was truly reflected in our ability to work together."
Mike Wright
Ledge Leadership
Ontario, Canada
"We invited Anne Jackson in to help us with our "TRUE" series. As Anne spoke there was an immediate connection with the students and although the subject "True Sexual Freedom" is awkward in any context, she approached the subject with grace and biblical insights. Anne is a gifted author and speaker and her ability to share her struggles and keep the focus on Christ and His work is powerful. We plan on having Anne back and I would recommend her as a keynote speaker or break-out leader for youth, college, and young adult audiences without reservation."
Eric E. Pratt, Ph.D.
Vice President for Christian Development
Mississippi College
"Anne Marie Miller tells the truth in such a way you can hear it. She is an objective journalist, and as such an endangered species. She's living proof that the truth, if stated clearly and objectively, can be fascinating."
Donald Miller
Author, Scary Close, Blue Like Jazz and A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
"Anne has an uncanny ability to share vulnerable, real life stories in a life-giving, disarming way. Anne has a gift for sharing the real stuff of life that invites people in instead of scaring them off. I think there's a bias in churches (even those that ordain women) and in our society to discount female speakers. Anne brings the complete package in a way that will garner the respect of any audience."
Joshua Miller
Church of the Ascension
Founder of Pub Club, Pittsburgh
"Anne made this talk extremely personal not only by sharing her story, but allowing the students freedom to incorporate their own insights. Anne did a phenomenal job, and even now, students are still talking about that chapel!"
Amberly Vincent
Interim Chapel Coordinator
George Fox University, Portland, OR

Ice Dive Training:
The City of Cleveland Public Safety Scuba Dive Team has now been certified in ice diving. Less than 1% of divers are ever certified in ice diving. Why a triangular hole in the ice? Go ahead and guess…
The Public Safety Scuba Dive Team includes members of the Cleveland Division of Police and the Cleveland Division of Fire. The team works with other agencies as part of the regional scuba dive team. Officers perform the rigorous task of scuba diving in highly hazardous conditions to collect and document evidence, recover bodies and property, as well as any other underwater search and recovery, and other situations which require law enforcement response.

My name is Murphee McDowell and I have the honor of being Delta Alpha's Director of Community Service for 2018! My wonderful assistant, Emma Hall, has been my right hand woman while planning these events and has been an overall joy to be around.Together, we will plan and organize our philanthropy events for the year.
Delta Alpha has the privilege of supporting the East Tennessee chapter of Make-A-Wish. This organization grants the wishes of children with life threatening illnesses to enrich human experience with hope, strength, and joy. We love knowing that the money we raise through our philanthropy events helps to grant wishes of children right here in Chattanooga and the surrounding areas.
Since Chi Omega established Make-A-Wish as their national philanthropy in 2001, Delta Alpha has helped to send Wish Kids to Atlantis, Disney World, Hawaii, and to swim with sharks in the Bahamas. We are so blessed to be able to work as closely as we do with the local chapter of Make-A-Wish. We do this by volunteering at the Wish Bowl, working fundraisers, lending a hand at their office, and by being Wish Granters.
This spring, Delta Alpha hosted our first ever Cards For A Cause event! The event was brand new to our chapter and we are ecstatic to announce we raised $9,542 for Make-A-Wish. Chi Omega is so thankful for our wonderful Chattanooga community and other UTC organizations for helping us make this such a success.
In Delta Alpha, we love traditions! One of our favorites is our annual Chili Cook-Off for Make-A-Wish. The Chili Cook-Off brings UTC and the Chattanooga community together for an afternoon of chili, music and fun! Most recently, at our 11th Annual Chili Cook-Off held at the Chattanooga Lookout Stadium, we raised $15,000 thanks to the support of other UTC organizations and the generous community we live in!
Philanthropy is the core of Chi Omega and is something that every sister holds dear to their heart. I cannot wait to see what 2018 has instore for our chapter!
