An Overview of Defence Doors
For buildings that require heavy-duty protection against forced entry, weaponry assaults and explosions, defence doors are an excellent choice.
All doors act as a barrier to protect against unwanted entry, but in some cases, more stringent defensive measures need to be put in place to protect against forced entry, weaponry assaults and explosions.
Here at FSE, we offer a wide range of defence doors to suit just about any security needs. These door sets (including frames, hinges, locks and viewing panels) are fully tested and certified to ensure they can withstand a range of attack levels, from forced entry to projectile or blast penetration. All of our doors adhere to Australian building standards outlined by the BCA (AS/NZS2343:1997).
Who Requires Defense Doors?
Industrial – Industrial facilities present very specific conditions when it comes to safety. Buildings that may require defence doors include mining and construction operations, warehouses and manufacturing facilities, government infrastructure, such as power plants, industrial research facilities and security, law enforcement facilities (e.g. police stations, prisons).
Commercial – Some commercial spaces require extra security measures to be put in place to protect against certain threats, two of the most common being retail spaces (services station, ticketing agencies, supermarkets, convenience stores, liquor stores) and financial spaces (banks, loan businesses, cash rooms).
Residential – While less common, some residences require more heavy duty defensive measures to be put in place.
What Is a Defence Door?
Defence doors differ from standard security doors as they are designed to protect against more serious threats. The material used to make your door will depend entirely on the level of security required. They can be made from glass, metal (steel) and even wood.
Defence doors are versatile and can be customised to suit a number of different requirements and environments:
• They can be installed as simple hinged doors, automatic swinging doors or even sliding doors.
• They can be manufactured and installed in a range of sizes, to suit a variety of operations.
• They can be fitted with various accessories, such as locks, fixings and glazed viewing windows (these are factory fitted to ensure the required resistant is met).
Types of Finishes
These kinds of doors are very versatile and can be aesthetically tailored to suit many types environments. Defence doors can be installed so that they integrate effortlessly with walls, panels and overall design themes, allowing them to fulfil their function, without giving away their actual purpose.

Dugway Proving Ground - Utah
Dugway Locations
The U.S. Army's Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) is a multipurpose facility with a full range of capabilities for testing the performance of chemical and biological material. Located 80 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah, Dugway encompasses 840,000 acres of land free from encroachment. DPG supports all branches of the DOD and shares the surrounding restricted airspace with the AF's Utah Test and Training Range. A recently completed $300 million modernization program has made Dugway an efficient, state of the art technical facility.
DPG is the DOD's principal proving ground for chemical and biological defense material, protective items, and soldier compatibility with protective clothing/equipment. In addition to this primary mission, Dugway has been designated a Center of Excellence for military smoke/obscurant and illumination systems testing and performs artillery, mortar, mines, and a wide variety of special purpose equipment testing and evaluation. Another major responsibility is the Joint Chemical/Biological Contact Point and Test Project which was assigned directly by the Department of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In connection with this task, DPG serves as the central source for information on chemical and biological material issues for all Commanders-in-Chief and Services.
Facilities / Resources

Although few people outside of Dugway, Utah, are aware of it,
the US Army has brought biological warfare back to a site it declared
unsafe a decade earlier.
Ten years ago, residents of western Utah breathed a healthy sigh of relief
when the Army discontinued testing biological warfare agents at its Dugway
Proving Ground. The reason given was that the Army's testing facility was
getting old, and its safety--its ability to prevent potentially deadly
diseases from escaping into the air outside the facility and thence to the
rest of the world--could no longer be guaranteed. Now the deadly bugs are
Military scientists are testing a device called the Biological Integrated
Detection System (BIDS) at the renovated Dugway facility. BIDS is
described as a defensive weapon, designed to detect the presence of
biological agents in time to allow soldiers to put on protective clothing.
A Dugway representative said the tests, which include organisms such as
anthrax, botulism, and the plague, would initially be liquid, not aerosol,
tests. Aerosol tests are the most hazardous form of testing because they
involve spraying biologicl agents into the air inside a sealed chamber.
One tiny air leak could result in a catastrophic release of deadly
diseases. It wsas precisely this hazard that led to the closing of the
Dugway facility in 1983. The biowarfare lab has been renovated since then
and Army experts claim their elaborate safety precautions will prevent such
a leak.
Nonetheless, new safety concerns were raised in September 1993, when the
Dugway Proving Ground was cited for 22 violations of state hazardous-waste
regulations, ranging from inadequate record-keeping to improper dumping of
poisonous chemicals. Notices of violations and orders for compliance were
issued to the Army base by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality.
Critics also point out that it was the Army that denied for a year that it
was responsible for the 1968 accidental release of nerve gas from Dugway
that killed some 6,000 sheepin the area.
Finally, public information about what was happening at Dugway suffered a
serious setback in September 1993, when the biowarfare oversight committee
that advises the governor of Utah on biological defense testing matters at
Dugway voted to make itself off-limits to the public. Reasoning that they
could obtan more information from the Army if confidentiality could be
assured, the oversight group also voted to disengage from its parent
organization, the State Advocacy Council on Science and Technology. The
committee had been frustrated by its inability to get timely information
from Dugway.
Critics doubt the committee will have access to any more information than
it has received in the past and that the net result only further distances
the Army from accountability and the public from the truth.
[By] SSU Censored Researcher:
Jesse Boggs
COMMENTS: Jim Woolf, environmental writer for The Salt Lake Tribune, said
he was surprised by the lack of attention this story generated. "It was
treated as a local story that had little significance to the general
public.," Woolf said, adding, "I disagree."
Woolf felt the general public should know more about this story for at
least three reasons:
"1. This is an important local story. Military scientists near my home
are conducting tests with some of the most deadly disease causing organisms
and natural toxins ever identified. What if some of these 'bugs' escape
into the environment or are carried by workers into my community? Are
local doctors trained to recognize and deal with this threat? Has the Army
taken all prudent steps to reduce the risk? Has the public been told the
full scope of testing being carried out by the Army?
"2. Biological and chemical weapons have been described as the 'poor man's
atomic bomb.' They are relatively easy to produce and could have
devastating consequences in battle. Several of our enemies are known or
suspected t ohave these weapons. All announced testing at Dugway focuses
on developing systems to protect America troops from these weapons. (The
development or testing of OFFENSIVE biological or chemical systems is
prohoboted under international treaties.) Work in this field would be of
general interest to military families and others who may feel threatened by
this category of weapon.
"3. The resumption of testing and plans to build an upgraded research
laboratory at Dugway could have important consequences for America's
international relations. Critics claim there is no clear line dividing
defensive from offensive testing--the scientific knowledge gained at Dugway
can be used for either good or bad. Does the resumption of this testing
send a message to other ocuntries that the United States is interested in
bio-chem warfare? Will it prompt other countries to upgrade their test
facilities and lead to an escalation in the race to produce
ever-more-deadly weapons?"
Woolf felt the interests of several groups were served by thelimited
coverage given the resumption of biowarfare testing.
"The Army was pleased. Military scientists wnat freedom to study whatever
they want, no matter how dangerous or far-fetched the potantial threat may
be. The last thing they want are questions from the public or elected
"Congress was served because members were not required to confront another
potentially controversial issue. A handful of members interested in
military issues are responsible for most of the funding decisions in this
area. If there is no controversy, no one else has to confront the
difficult questions surrounding this topic.
"Certain economic interests in Utah and elsewhere were served. Dugway
provides jobs in a remote area of the state. If biological testing were
eliminated or scaled back, the Army would have fewer reasons to maintain
the base. Also, a handful of comapanies are developing products and
services related to biological-defense. None would like to see their
income potential reduced."
Woolf notesthat the resumption of biological testing has been a difficult
issue in Utah and concludes with a chilling questoin.
"The presence of these deadly agents so close to our community is a source
or concern, but we watched on CNN the terror in Israel during the Iraq war
when no one knew whether the bombs that were falling contained chemical or
biological weapons. We understand the need to improve our defenses, but
wonder why it has to be done in our backyard, whether there are safer
alternatives, and whether all safety precautions have been taken.
"We're also frightened that the Army may not be telling the whole truth--
that in times of emergency they will cover their operations with the
national security veil and do whatever they think is right, regardless of
the threat to their neighbors. Utahns learned this lesson living downwind
from the nuclear-weapons tests at the Nevada Test Site.
"Will the clouds of radioactive material be followed by the plague?"
Jon Christensen, Great Basin Regional Editor for the High Country News,
areed that there hadn't been sufficient coverage of this issue. "The only
papers to cover the story adequately were The Salt Lake tribune and the
High Desert Advocate, in Wendover, Nevada." Without their coverage,
Christensen felt that we all might have missed this story about the
resumption of biowarfare testing at Dugway, Utah. He feels it is important
for people to know about this issue since they "might better understand the
domestic costs and risks of preparing for war, many of which are borne by
remote, rural Western communities (among others). Also, our stockpile of
dangerous chemical weapons and biological agents must be stored and
destroyed safely. The public needs to know how." Christensen emphasized
that "The regional media deserve credit for following this story. Without
them, we would all be in the dark about this?"

That's an interesting discussion/debate :-) I think Gordon Sim and I disagree on this one and he's more of the expert than I, however when we last discussed this topic (bad pun!!) he conceded that it might be useful to have a way to achieve intra (as opposed to inter) broker routing. I believe this too, so my assertion is that until a more appropriate mechanism is in place then a workaround using federation isn't so very bad. The question about "supported" is interesting in the sense that the support of the qpid tools is variable, what I mean is that qpid-route has been around for a long time and works well, but has its limitations - for example federating using the headers exchange is limited to using queue routes (dynamic routes I believe work from qpid 0.12) but static routes don't - mainly because the command line options don't support it rather than because it can't be done by the broker. Similarly IIRC when you specify the exchange you use an exchange name, so (using the default exchanges) you couldn't federate between say a fan-out exchange to a headers exchange (though I'm pretty sure you can if you create your own exchanges of the same name but different type). This isn't a criticism of qpid-route BTW so please don't take as such, it's merely a comment on the fact that it has grown relatively organically but doesn't necessarily do all of the federation possibilities that are available which may be useful, so I'm suggesting that support is a relative term. All of this stuff *is* actually supported however because "under the hood" qpid-route used QMF methods to create links and bridges so if you construct what you need directly using QMF the broker will actually do it fine, which is why I believe my little hack of qpid-route is harmless - if I'd written my own little QMF application to do this stuff it'd be just another QMF application. On your second question "Is there a simpler way to bind/unbind a queue to multiple exchanges? " your bindings *looked* OK (by eyeball - I haven't tried them). Unfortunately I'm not aware of a simpler/less verbose way to describe the bindings you want :-( In UML terms I think that bindings would look like an association class between an exchange and a queue, so you you really have to specify both the exchange and the queue. You've got me thinking though, it might have been nice to have a syntax such that one specifies an exchange & queue and a list of bindings between them. I suspect that a common use case might be multiple bindings between a given exchange and queue, so that way of describing things would be slightly less verbose. It's just an idle musing, there's probably a good reason that it's the way it is. I use copy and paste reuse a lot when I'm creating addresses :-) It'd take me ages to put one together from scratch. I wish the documentation had some good headers exchange examples, I hate working things out from BNF....... Cheers, Frase. > That said, it seems a pretty harmless hack and taking care not to create a binding loop would actually be trivial in our particular case... so I guess I'll sleep on it ;) > > Any insight on my second question?

April 6, 2013 - After a two-week break in the schedule, the Hillsdale College women's track team got back to work Saturday afternoon, and senior Kayla Caldwell picked up where she left off.
Caldwell broke her own school record in the pole vault, clearing 14 feet, 2 inches, to win the event at the Spartan Invitational, hosted by Michigan State University.
Caldwell's old record was 13-3 1/2, a record set a year ago. Her mark is easily an auto-qualifying one for NCAA competition. The five vaulters behind Caldwell at the meet were from Michigan State (three) and Notre Dame (two). She also turned in a strong time in the 200 meter dash, at 25.59 seconds.
Freshman Danielle Gagne finished one spot ahead of Caldwell in the 200, taking 17th with a time of 25.5. Another talented freshman, Corinne Zehner, placed 12th in the 400 hurdles, finishing the race in 1:06.91.
Senior Adrianna Yancho (pictured), finished tied for second in a competitve high jump event, clearing 5-3.
The team's throwers figured into the mix as well, with junior Amber Mueller taking seventh in the javelin throw and 12th in the discus, and senior Kathy Dirksen's shot out mark of 40-6 was good for sixth place.
The 4x100 relay team took fourth overall, in a Division I-heavy field, with a time of 49.6.
Hillsdale's team will compete at home Saturday, the first of two home meets this outdoor season. The Hillsdale Invitational will start at noon.

How Bayer Works Together with Healthcare Professionals
Industry and healthcare professionals collaborate in a range of activities in preclinical research, clinical development as well as clinical practice and patient outcome.
As the primary point of contact with patients, healthcare professionals offer invaluable and expert knowledge on patient outcomes and the management of diseases. This plays a crucial role in optimizing our efforts to improve patient care, treatment options and patient outcomes.
Collaboration example 1: Clinical Trials
Patients Need the Right Medicines
Patients can only truly benefit from the huge amount of invaluable medical knowledge that exists worldwide when our internal experts work closely together with external researchers and healthcare professionals. We strongly believe that the joint use of this expertise will help us to gain a better understanding of major diseases and to develop better medicines faster. The treating physician and other healthcare professionals conduct clinical trials at study centers in accordance with the clinical study protocol as approved by health authorities, institutional review boards, and ethics committees. Thus, they are the major link to the participating patients and are responsible for collecting data. Expertise and time offered by healthcare professionals and healthcare organizations in the course of a clinical trial need to be compensated.

Collaboration Example 2: Supporting Physician's Education
Patients Need the Best Informed Doctors
Bayer develops innovative medicines. Novel treatments have to be introduced and explained to healthcare professionals to ensure their responsible use. Therefore, we support the education of healthcare professionals at congresses and trainings. This contributes to ensuring doctors have access to the latest medical research and are thus able to prescribe the best treatment option for their patients. Only then can we fulfil our commitment to support the correct use of our new treatments. Scientific events are just one of many resources for physician's education.

Guys: Nine Basic Areas of Your Image You Need to Check Before EVERY Date
I'm here to help you, guys
The "doctor" is on duty.
Guys, imagine for a moment, at all of the dates you have blown before you even got the girl out of her parent's house into your sports couple. Sad, once you are honest with yourself. Look at all of the pure fun you could have had if only you had stuck to the basics of guy-girl relationships.
Okay. I will let up on you and give you a break. To make you feel better, I was preaching more to me than you.
(Excuse me for a moment while I dry my eyes. I cannot write and shed tears at the same time).
There's more about your image than just how you smell
First, allow me to set you straight on "guy economics" as it pertains to dating. Do not splurge on anything. Clothes, shoes, underwear, hair gel and cologne. Date within your means. In the end you will be richer and happier than you were just yourself from beginning of the date until the kiss good night.
I promise you two things: One, at the end of reading this piece, you will be laughing at yourself for not knowing the simplicity of personal imaging. And two, all of the single girls who read this will be giving me a standing-ovation for having the backbone for publishing this information.
Just remember, guys, successful dating has everything to do with "dating imaging." That's it. Imaging on your part. Proof: if you ask a girl out and you get out of your car wearing your cleanest clothes that are three-years old and look your best, odds are, you are going to have a great night. And if you do not pay close attention to your personal image, odds are you are going to be "dead in the water."
First, here are some things you DON'T need to do:
- Spend hundreds on a haircut, manicure, or "manny peddy." You will see why later in this story.
- Max-out your credit card on designer-clothing which includes underwear and shoes.
- Throw-down the cash on a facial and pore-cleansing. It's a first date, not your wedding day.
- Work yourself into exhaustion at a local gym doing thousands of crunches to at least "look" in shape.
- Do a full-body cleansing in order to have great health, energy, and stamina before your first date.
If you have a calculator, add all of these needless things together and tell me in the comment boxes how much I saved you in monetary terms.
Other areas a guy needs to inspect
So, guys, here are my
Nine Basic Areas of Your Image You Need to Check Before EVERY Date
THINGS VISIBLE IN YOUR NOSTRILS -- I do not want to be vulgar, but check your nostril openings on a daily basis, not just before a date. When you meet a girl for a first date, she will look first at your eyes and then your nose. If they see something nasty protruding from your nose, you can just get back in your car for this date is not going anywhere. Girls hate for guys to be unkempt. That includes a nasty nose.
EAR WAX -- Yes, ear wax. You cannot detect this work of nature looking eye-to-eye, but say later that night when you are making-out and she starts to tickle your ears to tease you. When you feel her pull away swiftly and gasp, "Ewwww!" You won't have to guess or ask her what's wrong. You will automatically-know that she "hit pay-dirt" in your ears by digging into some ear wax with her finger.
HANDS IN PANTS -- This is serious, guys. If you have a habit of watching television with your hand down your pants, STOP it. For if your new date invites you inside to watch a movie on her television before you know it, she is telling you to leave because she leaned-over to kiss you and hits her face on your elbow. Just practice sitting watching television without your hand in your pants before you head-out on this special date. You will remember this advice. I promise.
NOSE HAIR -- this advice fits into the tip about things hanging-out of your nostril openings. Girls despise nose hair as much as a girl who is her rival. Make it a daily practice to check your ears for that unruly hair that grows inside the ears as part of being a male. And if you are after a pretty girl for a date, do this and the nose care first.
TOBACCO STAINS -- I can only tell you to give-up smoking cigarettes and chewing tobacco if you want to enjoy female companionship at will. I can testify to you that not just certain girls, but ALL girls hate men who want to date them to show-up with brown lips and especially tobacco stains in the corners of their mouths. This to me, is disrespectful toward the female. Try to give-up this habit that is able to rob you of your health, dating success and possibly your life.
NASTY TEETH -- can only become nasty if they are not brushed. And if a man uses tobacco on a daily basis. So the "toothbrush is brushing on the wall." Brush, brush, brush and your new date will appreciate you even more. And use a good mouthwash before you pick her up.
URINATING -- anywhere but the bathroom is a sure-fire turn-off. That is unless your new date is into such vulgar things. If you have to "answer nature's call," just be polite and ask your new female friend if you can use her facilities and things will be fine. But the urinating in her rose bushes is a definite no, no and if you aren't careful, you will end up with a crotch full of painful thorns.
ZIPPER OPEN -- this is probably THE worst thing that a girl can see on a guy the first time she goes out with him. A true gentleman makes sure his fly is secure, not wide-open like a barn door, if he wants her to like him. Make this the last thing (of this entire list) that you do everyday and before any date. You will be happier and have more dates than you do telemarketer calls.
I should charge for such valuable advice.
This is a BONUS tip: Do not be cheap like this guy
Definitely a hub to consult.
Yeah. Thanks I will come back to this hub when I have to go on a date. Oh, I will also have to consult my wife on the legalities of such actions.

Following on from my previous blog item posted in February, the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Society (UHMS) and the Divers Alert Network (DAN) have published consensus guidelines resulting from their 2005 co-sponsored workshop, 'Diabetes and Recreational Diving: Guidelines for the future.
What was historically considered an absolute contraindication to diving is now being openly supported for those who are medically evaluated and who carefully monitor their condition and meet certain criteria. The view held by the medical community on people who have insulin-dependent diabetes was relaxed and those using dietary control for their diabetes should easily be able to meet the guidelines.
Note that the report has issued guidelines and not rules and should only be used as toll for the physician when evaluating a person with diabetes for diving.

Church Story (chapter 5)/
"Hayden, we just want you to know we don't care what the elders say. You go ahead and play in Sunday's game." Others who had gathered around Hayden after church nodded in agreement.
"Um… thanks". Hayden didn't know what to say. Word had spread quickly after the elders had asked him not to play on the Sabbath again. Local newspapers had picked up the story, one with this headline: Elders Rain on Miracle. Another said: Puritan Revival? Hell No! Now ESPN was calling both Hayden and the Pastor for an interview. Hayden the "Miracle Man" was already the most-watched player in the NCAA tourney, and the controversy only made the media-wolves drool harder.
Hayden extricated himself to ask Dorcas if she wanted to go to brunch. "Hey Dorkie!", he called across Fellowship Hall. But she seemed not to hear him as she pushed through the exit. Irate, he turned – and bumped smack into Gloria.
"Oh, hi Hayden, I was…looking for you."
She wants me, Hayden thought. Then: Shake yourself, dude. EVERY guy thinks that. Hayden recovered and smiled. "Hey, you. What's up"
"I uh…" Gloria faltered, clearly nervous. "I just wanted to let you know… I'm coming to Teiliff with the mission team."
Hayden was floored. That this lovely lady had depth, he'd sensed; but he never considered she might also have guts. He stared, astonished.
"Well don't look so surprised!", she teased. But she still looked nervous. Hayden wondered why.
Hayden found himself on the basketball court. It was the regional finals against North Carolina. And it was Sunday.
He'd avoided thinking about his decision. He had nearly – nearly – suppressed all thought about the 4th commandment. But now, as the ref walked to mid-court, Hayden panicked. What if God punishes me by taking away this gift?
The ball went up. Jason tipped it right to Hayden. Two steps, a spin-dribble around the guard, and Hayden lofted a long 3-pointer. Swish.
The crowd exploded: "Hay-DEN, Hay-DEN, Hay-DEN". But Hayden stood, suddenly immobile. His man dribbled past; he let him go. Coach shouted at him, but he didn't hear. Coach called time-out and the other players pulled Hayden, still glassy-eyed, to the bench.
"Get your head out of your butt, Daily!", Coach shouted in his face. Hayden nodded. "OK. OK, I'm OK. Let's go". The team pulled in, hands in the middle – and Hayden was on again.
Was he ever. 43 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists. And a trip to the Final Four – next Sunday.
Charles caught him in the locker room. "Yo, man, what was up with you out there?"
Hayden shook his head. "Dunno". But he couldn't stop re-playing that first flawless and effortless 3-pointer in his head. Hayden realized with calm clarity: it wasn't me who took that shot.
Meetings of the Teiliff mission team were normally upbeat, but today Elder Andrew was tense. "The State Department approved our visas" he said, "but there's more. I'd better read it aloud": The situation in Afghanistan has worsened due to the recent release of Christian convert Abdul Rahman. Moslem radicals who demanded his death are now helping to re-arm local warlords. We therefore require you to sign a no-hostage agreement as a condition of your visa.
"You mean", said a man in his 50's, "if we're kid-napped, the government won't negotiate for us?" "That's right", said Elder Andrew. "And if while building the water purifier we lead someone to Christ, they could be stoned?", asked Dorcas. "That's crazy".
"That's shari'ah – Islamic law", Elder Andrew said. "And apparently…we could be stoned too."
The congregation listened as the Pastor spoke, shocked. Glass was all over the sanctuary floor where two stained-glass windows had been shattered. "Sometime last night two rocks were thrown through our windows", the Pastor said. "A note was attached to one. It says:
Damn your stupid rules, let Hayden play.
All eyes turned to Hayden.

"The hope inside" Rep. Martha McSally's (R-02) "campaign and among her establishment backers is that" former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio (R) "paves the way for her to win in the August primary by splitting the Tea Party vote with" former state Sen. Kelli Ward (R).
"Mostly, Arpaio likes to talk about" President Trump. "Arpaio likes to brag that the two men share a birthday, and he credits Trump with calling his wife during the campaign while she battled cancer."
"Arpaio doesn't see a presidential endorsement coming," saying, "I think it's smart for him to wait it out."
"McSally still has to beat Arpaio and his well-regarded political operation, which several Arizona operatives" said "posed a bigger threat than Ward's."
"As for his age, Arpaio insisted he wouldn't run away from it. He plans to tell voters that he won't have to spend a minute raising money because he will serve only one term." (Politico)

Janet Bacon's breast cancer is rare in one way, but typical in another: It shows the importance of early detection.
Bacon, 59, of Syracuse, had skipped her annual mammogram in 2014 – she had let a lot of things slide that year after losing her best friend.
In 2015, a resident health advocate – someone trained by Upstate to help neighbors find medical information and promote health – called Bacon to ask whether she had gotten that annual mammogram to screen for breast cancer, as part of the She Matters program (see
"How to obtain a mammogram," below).
"So I went for it," Bacon says of the mammogram she got in March 2015. "I didn't think anything of it. They called me back for an ultrasound. About a week later, they said I needed a biopsy. I didn't think anything of that, either," she says, noting she had been called back for a biopsy years ago that amounted to nothing.
This time was different.
"It was cancer. I was devastated. I couldn't speak at first," she says.
She was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ, found very early, at stage zero. This would normally be treated with a lumpectomy – surgical removal of the cancerous tissue, not the whole breast – followed by whole-breast radiation to prevent recurrence.
But Bacon's case was unusual – so much so that her doctors plan to publish a case study of it. She has scleroderma, a complicated, chronic disease of the connective tissue that has also affected her kidneys.
Radiation can cause scarring in people with scleroderma, so that would tend to rule out the usual treatment, says Bacon's radiation oncologist at Upstate, Anna Shapiro, MD.
"It would be a shame for her to have a mastectomy," says Shapiro, but an operation to remove the entire breast was a likely alternative to avoid the radiation.
The multidisciplinary team at the Upstate Cancer Center decided, however, that a lumpectomy could be done if followed by a type of radiation called brachytherapy, which targets an area small enough to minimize the scarring.
Bacon's brachytherapy involved inserting tiny radioactive pieces through a tube into a balloon implanted at the lumpectomy site, twice daily for a week.
Brachytherapy is successful for a select group of patients, such as Bacon, who are generally at low risk for recurrence, Shapiro says.
Bacon feels fortunate not only for the care she received, but for her family, which includes a brother and six sisters living down South, as well as nieces and nephews, who came to lend support.
"They ran straight here to me the day I had surgery" in May 2015, she recalls. After the operation, her surgeon, Upstate's Scott Albert, MD, told her relatives in the waiting room that the operation was a success.
"He did a wonderful job," Bacon says. Radiation treatment followed a month later, and a mammogram in October 2015 showed no trace of cancer.
Bacon has wasted no time in recommending regular mammograms to her female relatives, noting the family history of breast cancer includes not just herself but a niece who died of the disease.
Bacon says she is doing well, goes to routine check-ups every four months and will take anti-cancer medication for five years.
"I think breast cancer is my passion now. I don't want anyone to go through what I went through." She says, "the No. 1 thing is getting a mammogram." She adds she is consistent in reminding her neighbors to get a mammogram.
She is now a resident health advocate herself and works to keep her 300 or so neighbors in the Toomey Abbott Towers on Almond Street informed about their health, particularly through She Matters programs.
Shapiro echoes the need for mammograms and outreach programs like She Matters.
"The reason we're so successful at improving success in curing breast cancer is because we're able to diagnose it so early. The success story of breast cancer really lies in early detection. Typically a mammogram picks up something small," Shapiro says.
Albert notes that Bacon's type of cancer is usually only picked up through a mammogram.
How to obtain a mammogram
The New York State Cancer Services Program offers breast, cervical and prostate cancer screening for residents who meet income eligibility and age requirements. Call 866-442-2262 for details.
In addition, may public health departments (check with the one in the county where you live) provide access to low-cost or no-cost mammography and other cancer screenings for people without health insurance coverage.
The Upstate Cancer Center's "She Matters" program makes mammography available to underserved women living in Syracuse Housing Authority locations in downtown Syracuse. The program includes education and awareness about the disease, as well as general wellness.
A recent grant of $25,000 – the latest in an ongoing effort from the Susan G. Komen Foundation's Central New York affiliate — helps expand this outreach to include Toomey Abbott Towers, Pioneer Homes and Almus Olver Towers.
She Matters was founded in 2014 and receives support from the housing authority and several community and Upstate organizations and departments.
This article appears in the fall 2016 issue of Cancer Care magazine. Hear a radio interview/podcast about the She Matters program.

The idea of police forces merging to cut costs has been put back on the table by Met Police commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe.
Speaking on Monday, he said forces should consider merging due to continued austerity cuts and shrinking budgets.
He said: "
"Do criminals respect these county boundaries? No, they don't. They seek markets with high population densities to sell drugs and steal property. They pass local and national borders with ease."
Recent developments have already seen Sussex Police work closely with the Surrey force, teaming up on the Christmas drink-drive crack-down and a firearms amnesty.
Deputy Chief Constable Olivia Pinkney said: "Our aim is to deliver policing more efficiently through embracing technology and multi-agency working, reducing cost and engaging with the public in the best way.
"Sussex Police was publicly acknowledged only this month by the HMIC for running a tight ship and collaborating with partners, including Surrey Police, to gain maximum benefits in terms of financial savings and delivering good quality policing.
"The public can be reassured that with efficiencies already made overall crime has reduced in the last three years making Sussex Police one of the safety forces nationally.
"And while I understand that changes can be unsettling, the officers and staff I speak with around the force are highly motivated, professional people with a passion for what they do and are very actively contributing to shaping our police service for the future.
"I am confident that by exploring new ways of working we can meet competing demands effectively."
Sussex Police is working on a model for the future and has revealed its initial thinking for policing Sussex for the coming five years.
DCC Pinkney said:"The design principles contain possibilities which are aligned to the future vision for the organisation, but they are not what we will definitely do and do not go in detail as to how they could be done.
It assists in making choices and is an internal document written to guide the work of the design team.
"The financial challenge is to make savings in the region of £55 million by 2020.
"The model is about working efficiently to a reduced budget; being a modern, trusted workforce with integrity at our core.
"The absence of crime and disorder, together with strong community relations, will be our measure of success.
"We are committed to core policing - protecting communities, prioritising those who are most vulnerable to harm and reducing crime by catching criminals.

Iceland Keeper Reveals Research Behind Messi Save
Hard work and homework were the secrets to Iceland's deserved draw against Argentina, goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson revealed after his man-of-the-match display at Moscow's Spartak Stadium.
The 34-year-old is no stranger to watching film, as he directed the video for Iceland's 2012 Eurovision Song Contest entry, but his recent viewing has been penalties not pop.
Now with Danish side Randers, Halldorsson capped his side's superb defensive display against the two-time world champions by diving to his right and saving Lionel Messi's 64th-minute spot-kick.
Speaking afterwards, Halldorsson said: "I did some homework because I knew it was a situation that could come up. OK, it's a long shot but it happened.
"I looked at a lot of penalties by Messi and I also watched penalties I have faced so I could see how I looked to penalty-takers. I had a good feeling he would go that way."
It was a massive moment in the game and a blow for Messi, particularly after his great rival Cristiano Ronaldo's set-piece sorcery for Portugal against Spain on Friday.
"For me, as a goalkeeper, to play for Iceland at a World Cup, to face a penalty from the best player in the world, it was a dream come true for me to save it, especially because it helped us get a big point that will help us with our goal of qualifying for the next round," he added.
His coach Heimir Hallgrimsson agreed, although he would not have been able to pick a man of the match from a team performance that good.
"It was a milestone for this team," said Hallgrimsson.
"We knew how it would be played, they would have 60 or 70 per cent of the ball, but our defence was great, the boys should get all the credit.
"We are bluntly honest about our ability – we know how we can win games. If we want a result we have to play in a special way, our way, organised, with everyone knowing their role.
"It's more enjoyable to play this way and achieve something than to play in a different way and not achieve anything."
Their enjoyment was obvious as they celebrated a famous result in their debut at this level. Iceland is the smallest country to reach a World Cup but there is nothing small about the character of this team or the support they get.
"I'm massively proud of our support here but I don't know where the Argentinians bought all their tickets – we really struggled to find them and could have brought lots more fans," said Hallgrimsson.

'BrabantStad: a strong international competitive and sustainably growing city network'
BrabantStad is an administrative network for the 5 largest Brabant municipalities (Breda, Eindhoven, Helmond, 's-Hertogenbosch, Tilburg) and the Province of North Brabant. Collaborating is in our blood. We work closely with other authority bodies, as well as with education institutions and the business sector. BrabantStad is quite informal in nature. It is not an extra administrative layer with its own ruling power, as each city, as well as the province, retains its own autonomy. What we do is smart collaboration based on equality, because together, we can achieve much more than we ever could alone. This is exactly why BrabantStad is investing in organising commitment. BrabantStad initiates, stimulates, connects and collaborates. A dynamic that benefits all of Brabant.
The daily administration is managed by the BrabantStad Steering Group, consisting of one Deputy and five Aldermen. Together, they are responsible for the realisation and implementation of the BrabantStad Task and Lobby Agendas, whilst ensuring collaboration within the network. The King's Commissioner and the Mayors of the five cities act as ambassadors for BrabantStad. They are foremost responsible when it comes to public affairs and a joint lobby towards Europe and the Dutch Government. They draw on their network power to advance the projects of BrabantStad's Task and Lobby Agendas. This network consists of Brabant's Corporate Community, Scientific and Social institutions, amongst others. The BrabantStad Programme Bureau co-ordinates and facilitates this collaboration, and is headed up by a Programme Manager. The Bureau conducts the Steering Group secretariat, is responsible for communication in the network, concerns itself with public affairs and organises regular administrative meetings, such as for example, the BrabantStad-Tuesday.
Within the aforementioned five cities and the Province of North Brabant, a BrabantStad Official Co-ordination Group is responsible for the administrative co-ordination; they support the Programme Manager by carrying out the BrabantStad Task and Lobby Agendas, and, as a group, protect the collective interests of BrabantStad.
A network cannot exist without meetings. This is why, four times a year, so-called BrabantStad-Tuesdays take place. On these days, the five municipal committees of Mayors and Aldermen along with the Provincial Executives come together in various administrative consultative bodies, such as for example, a BrabantStad Steering Group administrative progress meeting, or for administrative consultations within the most important municipal and provincial wallets, like Economic Affairs, Accessibility, Culture, Spatial Planning Policies and Sustainability. Additionally, we also organise inspiration sessions on these days, which allow opportunities for discussions regarding issues from a broad and integral perspective.

Habitat: North and South America; in NA, along the Pacific Northwest. Found in forested areas and forest edges.
Status: Near Threatened. Global Population: 4,000,000 mature Individuals. Populations are declining in most areas due to habitat loss.
Diet: Seeds, fruit, acorns, pine nuts, and flowers.
Breeding: Nests look like a flat saucer of loosely intertwined twigs, placed on a sturdy tree limb, and usually contain only one egg. Young are helpless at birth and fledge in about three weeks.
Cool Facts: Though the species has two distinct breeding populations in the United States, individuals do move from one region to the other. One Band-tailed Pigeon banded in Oregon was found a year later in Florida, well outside the normal range.
Band-tailed Pigeons are much larger than feral pigeons and dwarf mourning doves. They travel in small flocks of 15 to 30 individuals and tend to be gregarious, sometimes mobbing bird feeders.
Found in Songbird ReMix Gamebirds

You'll be able to find good snap peas at Berkeley Bowl well before they find their way into most Farmer's Markets. Stringless edible-pod peas are more expensive than other varieties, selling for between 3 and 4 dollars a pound.
Discerning pea enthusiasts will probably want to remove the stem end of the pod before eating. Still, these are so crisp and sweet right now that I ate several pods whole while prepping them.
We dropped them in boling water for two minutes, transferred to an ice bath, and then served over a pool of romesco sauce. They are also great in soups, as they do not require shelling.

WINDSOR, Ontario. November 18, 2014 — Responding to the demands of customers' evolving welding needs, Tregaskiss has introduced the third evolution of its TOUGH GUN™ Robotic Air-Cooled MIG Gun product line: new TOUGH GUN CA3 and TOUGH GUN TA3 Robotic Air-Cooled MIG Guns. These MIG guns bring together the top features of the company's TOUGH GUN G1 and G2 Series Robotic MIG Guns, as well as valuable upgrades to enhance durability, reliability and accuracy. A new sleek black gun body simplifies identification of the new guns compared to legacy products, but current part numbers will remain unchanged.
|TOUGH GUN™ CA3 Robotic Air-Cooled MIG Gun
Both new air-cooled guns feature a re-engineered neck clamp that improves durability and consistency of clamping force, along with additional standard neck options that allow companies to expand the range of tool center points (TCPs) and working envelopes. Additional standard options reduce costs and lead times for special necks and/or arms, while also simplifying the transition from standard TOUGH GUN G2 Series configurations.
|TOUGH GUN TA3 Robotic Air-Cooled MIG Gun
The TOUGH GUN CA3 Robotic Air-Cooled MIG Gun is a replacement for the TOUGH GUN G1 Series MIG Gun that maintains TCP with minimal or no robotic programming touch ups. Designed for conventional robotic welding systems, the new gun also features a new replaceable unicable that promotes extended service life to up to twice that of standard unicables, reducing costs and downtime for changeover. This benefit is the result of a new dual layer cable; the outer jacket resists ultraviolet radiation and abrasion while the inner layer is specifically formulated to resist thermal fatigue. The copper content of the new replaceable unicable has also been increased compared to standard unicables, allowing for operation at higher current ranges.
Designed for today's through-arm style robots, the TOUGH GUN TA3 Robotic Air-Cooled MIG Gun is a direct replacement for the TOUGH GUN ThruArm G1 Series MIG Gun and features the exclusive Tregaskiss Low-Stress Robotic (LSR) Unicable, a rotating power connection that allows for stress-free rotation.
For more information about the TOUGH GUN CA3 and TOUGH GUN TA3 Robotic Air-Cooled MIG Guns and answers to frequently asked questions, visit Tregaskiss.com/CA3 or Tregaskiss.com/TA3.

A friend had a birthday recently, and I wanted to do something special to celebrate. To decorate our apartment, I made a balloon garland and a happy birthday banner. The ballon garland was so much fun! I blew up about 35 balloons to different sizes and tied them closely onto a piece of twine. That yielded about 5 feet of garland, and I would have done twice as many if I'd had more balloons! (Terrible iPhone photo of the balloons at the end of the post.)
For the happy birthday banner, I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut simple letter pennants out of black cardstock. My friend is not a girly-girl, so I kept it simple with black paper, cutouts and twine. You could go a lot of different directions with this though! You could use printed paper, or you could back the pennants with colored paper to make the letters stand out more. Use colored string or yarn to hang the pennants. Finish with tassels on the ends. So many ways to personalize this!
Here are the files. The only way I can figure out how to share them is via Google Drive, so please don't be alarmed when the links lead to away from the site!

One year ago: Homemade furikake, a Japanese condiment made of nori and sesame seeds that may become your secret ingredient.
What you need:
5 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock
about 10 feet of string, twine or yarn
optional: additional paper to back to cutout letters
What to do:
1. Download the studio files above into your silhouette software.
2. Cut out the files on the cardstock.
3. Optional: back the letters with paper to make them stand out more by gluing paper onto the back of the pennants. Glue the center pieces of certain letters (a, p, b, d) onto the pennants.
4. String the pennants on the twine and hang by tying the ends onto something or by using washi tape to secure.

In my write-up of Spider-Man, which appears in Game Informer's May issue, I detailed a moment where I stopped web swinging to explore the city on foot. In this brief detour from my mission, I was immediately struck with the sensation of the city being alive. I chuckled at the sight of yellow taxi cabs being everywhere, and found the sidewalks to be great for people watching. Some New Yorkers were standing around chatting with one another; others were going about their business. A few citizens even recognized me, and were quick to say hello or ask how I was doing. One brave woman even asked me for a selfie.
My walk veered into a small park between two apartment complexes. The park was lush with green trees and bushes, and I even saw a couple of squirrels dart in and out of cover. A basketball court sat at the center of the park. A few people were standing idle on the court, a ball at their feet. I used my webbing to pick up the ball, which I spun around my head before launching it into the distance. I was pleased by how much variety there was in the scenery, and it looks like there will be plenty of fun to be had just slowing the action down to take in the city.
We sadly don't have footage that shows off a moment like the one I just shared, but we do have some web swinging clips that give you an idea of how aware citizens are. The video you are about to watch also shows you how the game alerts you of side missions in different ways. Swinging through the city also brings the chance to listen to different things, such as J. Jonah Jameson's radio show, Just the Facts, which you'll hear briefly. This short blast of clips also shows you how Spider-Man expresses himself, either through jokes or with his eyes.
We hope you enjoy the video, and will join us next week for more developer interviews and insight into the game.

A keen birder for over 30 years, but I have only relatively recently become enamored with the joys of sound recording. I am extremely lucky to be able to travel to many wonderful places in search of birds and I enjoy the way sound recording has given me a whole new appreciation of bird vocalisations, greatly increased my field skills and provided a significant number of new birds I would never otherwise have seen along the way. I am now at the stage were I sometimes find myself reaching for my recording gear before my camera. Although never before my binoculars...

It's not often that we can say that a kitchen appliance has actually changed our lives. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've never said that, until the NutriBullet. This machine is not like an ordinary blender, and it's nothing like a juicer. While blenders leave big chunks of food, The NutriBullet pulverizes all the goodness from whatever you put into it and makes it drinkably smooth.
We asked them for an energizing drink and they exclusively gave us a recipe for a smoothie filled with fresh fruit, veggies and feel-good nutrition that will give you that pick-me-up you need without filling you up with useless calories. This drink is filled with hydrating electrolytes thanks to the coconut water while the almonds provide healthy proteins that are important for maintaining energy throughout the day and is perfectly safe while breast feeding.

Throughout The Car Industry
Brammo Doubles The Range On Its All-Electric Enertia Bike
Brammo is an Ashland, Oregon-based manufacturer that has been raising the bar for electric bikes. The company's Empulse electric bike, which was introduced this past summer, is capable of speeds up to 100 mph and a range of up to 100 miles. It looks like a respectably muscular motorcycle, too. Suddenly electric bikes are looking better than ever.
For those who don't need speeds of 100 mph and would rather save a little money, Brammo just introduced the Enertia Plus. An upgrade to its regular Enertia bike, the model doubles the electric range from 40 to 80 miles.
The Enertia Plus shares the Empulse's 6 kWh lithium-ion battery with Brammo Power technology. The lithium-ion battery technology is what allows the added range.The electric bike includes a universal onboard charging station that lets you power up at any outlet.
In addition to its doubled-up range, the AC motor in the Enertia Plus provides more than 30 lb-ft from the minute you sit down and speeds its way up to 60 mph. The updated bike also features tighter turning than the standard Enertia.
Looks-wise, the Enertia Plus doesn't have the powerful demeanor of the Empulse and looks a little more scooterish. But when it comes to daily commuting, you don't really need an intimidating hog to get the job done.
The Enertia Plus is available for pre-order now, with deliveries set to commence next year. It's priced just a $1,000 over the standard Enertia at $8,995 and weighs in at the same 324 lbs. To make an upgrade a little more feasible for existing Brammo owners, the company is offering a $2,500 "Customer Loyalty Rebate."
Brian Wismann, director of product development said of the R&D process: "It's truly been an amazing experience to watch the Enertia's capabilities as a motorcycle grow in step with the latest developments in EV technology. As with every Brammo product, the Enertia Plus represents the best of what we know. When we started the Enertia development, I never would have believed such a huge leap in range was possible in such a short period of time."
Indeed, Brammo's technology has been creating some buzz and excitement in the world of electric bikes. The Empulse, which was announced in July, comes in 6, 8 and 10 kWh models, which offer 60-, 80- and 100-mile ranges respectively. Prices on that bike range from $9,995 to $13,995.

I Made $1000 for an hour's worth of work!
For those of you who know me, I am not one of those hypey marketers. I tell people like it is and I never sell someone on a dream. I would never want someone to do that to me (but they have) so I will never do that to someone else.
That's just not the way I roll.
Many of the products that I recommend have helped me succeed, have made me money, have gotten me closer to my goal.
Many of Jason Fladlien's and WIl Mattos' products have helped me do just that.
Amy Harrop and I have the pleasure of getting Jason Fladlien on a webinar on Tuesday July 10th, 7 PM EDT
5 Reasons Why You Should Attend The Webinar:
1) Jason gives out such amazing content. Jason Fladlien is so successful and he really knows what he is talking about. Rapid Crush (Jason and Wil's company), last time I heard, makes 100K per month. These guys know what they are doing
2) There are no guarantees of course, but this worked for me: With just one method that Jason and Wil taught me, I made $1000with just an hour and a half's worth of work! How amazing is that???

June 2012
Dear Friends,
It is much quieter in Stillwater with most students away for the summer, but the momentum and excitement continue at Oklahoma State University.
Some 3,000 students earned their degrees during our May commencement ceremonies. We also presented an honorary doctorate to Sir Ken Robinson, an internationally-recognized educational innovator, and to OSU alum Vaughn Vennerberg, known for his success in the oil industry and educational philanthropy. Both served as our commencement speakers and provided graduates valuable advice for the future.
Prospective students continue to visit campus in record numbers. Applications are 2,000 ahead of last year and enrollment this fall might surpass 4,000 in new freshmen for the first time in our history! Last fall, total enrollment on the combined Stillwater/Tulsa campuses exceeded 24,000 for the first time and we may set another record this year. This growth presents housing challenges, but we are able to manage those for now.
The Student Union renovation has drawn rave reviews. The plaza on the north side serves as a beautiful "town center" featuring expanded outdoor seating, pleasant landscaping and room for programming. We have started the next phase of this project, which includes a much-needed upgrade to the Ballroom, French Lounge and West Porch. There was some question whether we should remodel the Ballroom. I pointed out that it has the same décor as when I was in school in the 60s and you can see how bad I look! We do want to maintain the feel and history of those iconic areas.
If you visit campus this summer you will see we have started a major overhaul of Monroe Street. We plan to create a pedestrian friendly plaza and improve the street's infrastructure and drainage. To improve parking, we are building a 300-space garage on the southwest side of campus. We continue to pursue funding for a new Spears School of Business Building, a new performing and visual arts center and an expansion to our College of Human Sciences building. Athletics is making good progress on its indoor practice facility north of Boone Pickens Stadium. We should break ground on a new indoor tennis facility shortly and a new track will be constructed in the athletic village, freeing the existing location on Hall of Fame Avenue for new housing.
Thanks to more than 75,000 donors, we have surpassed $880 million toward our $1 billion campaign goal. We expect to reach our goal ahead of schedule, but we won't stop at $1 billion as we continue to raise important funds for student scholarships, faculty, facilities and programs. Thus far, the Branding Success campaign has created more than 830 scholarships and more than 130 endowed faculty positions. We were pleased state leaders made budget changes this legislative session that provide about $150 million to all higher education institutions to fund the backlog of endowed chairs awaiting a state match.
We are delighted to welcome three new college deans this summer. Pamela "Sissi" Carroll is the new dean of the College of Education, coming from Florida State University. Paul Tikalsky will lead the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology. Paul joins OSU from the University of Utah. Bret Danilowicz is the new dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, having previously served at Georgia Southern University. We continue our search for a vice president and dean of the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources to replace the retiring Bob Whitson. Bob has done a wonderful job and we wish him well. Mike Woods will serve as interim. We also appreciate the excellent service of outgoing Arts and Sciences dean Peter Sherwood, and the work of interim deans Khaled Gasem and Bob Davis.
Oklahoma State has a strong legacy of student excellence on the national level and this year was no different. Rosa Yorks, a triple zoology, microbiology and molecular genetics major, is a Goldwater Scholar. We have seven prestigious Fulbright winners. Marissa Rice, a graduate student in zoology, won a National Science Foundation fellowship and Victoria O'Keefe won a Ford Foundation award to conduct research on American Indian/Alaska Native suicide risk and resiliency. And faculty members Jeffery White from chemistry and David Meinke from botany earned significant research grants from the National Science Foundation.
As I have always stated, our mission requires graduating our students. That starts with retention of students from the freshman to sophomore year. With the new Learning and Student Success Opportunity Center, or LASSO, we have significantly increased individual and group tutoring and have introduced a success facilitator program to help students adjust to college life. We are offering a variety of support services and expect solid progress in this area.
We are gaining national attention in unmanned aerial systems, or drones as they are often called. UAVs have tremendous potential for society and our nation. We are a leader in their development through our University Multispectral Laboratories in Ponca City and through our academic offerings in aerospace engineering, which include the nation's only graduate option. The UML is partnering at the federal level to put Oklahoma and OSU at the forefront of this area, while award-winning faculty are giving students an edge in a discipline that will advance defense, security, transportation, agriculture and countless other areas.
We were pleased to serve as the model for a new law signed by Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin that requires state agencies and higher education institutions to achieve 20 percent savings in energy by 2020. Partnering with alum Bill Spears' company, Energy Education, our energy conservation program has saved OSU nearly $20 million across all our campuses since 2007, for a savings of more than 19 percent.
Thanks to the leadership of Governor Fallin and the Oklahoma Legislature, the Oklahoma Hospital Residency Training Program Act became law in June. It provides $3.08 million to establish residencies in rural and other underserved areas to address the alarming shortage of primary care physicians, which means more opportunities for OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine graduates and improved health for our state. We were delighted to learn that OSU Center for Health Sciences was named the most popular medical school in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
Just when you thought you had tried every cut of beef, researchers at OSU's Robert M. Kerr Food and Agricultural Products Center collaborated with industry on the Vegas Strip Steak, which was introduced to strong reviews in Chicago. The steak has been compared to the New York Strip and is another example of OSU's leadership in research.
Despite the need for a new performing arts center to increase space and update facilities, which we hope to achieve in the next few years, our music and theater departments continue to do impressive work. The 51-member OSU wind ensemble, under the direction of Joe Missal, has been invited to perform at the All Japan Band Clinic next May. We competed with bands from all over the world for the honor and are the only international band to be invited to Japan.
OStateTV & TEDxOStateU
We are excited about the launch this fall of our new online video network. OStateTV will keep you better informed about all the great things happening at OSU, showcasing students and faculty, athletics, live events, campus activities and the diverse knowledge of our many experts. Videos will be easily accessible from all devices. You will hear more about the debut later this summer.
One of the first major programs on OStateTV will be an independently organized TEDx event featuring OSU students, faculty, alumni and others on November 1. TEDxOStateU is centered on the theme "IGNITE" and will discuss important topics we face today as a society and what's being done to address them. TED stands for technology, entertainment, design and is devoted to "ideas worth spreading." TEDx events are local and self-organized. To see other such TED talks, visit TED.com or the free TED app on iTunes.
In closing, the entire Cowboy nation was extremely proud of our women's basketball team, which overcame unthinkable tragedy and finished the year in triumph as Women's NIT champions. We congratulate Coach Jim Littell, his staff and our young student-athletes on their tremendous heart and resiliency this past season. And, we deeply appreciate the support of the Budke, Serna and Branstetter families during this difficult time.
Ann and I hope you have a wonderful summer. We thank you for your support of Oklahoma State University and look forward to seeing you on campus. Go Pokes!
Burns Hargis
President, Oklahoma State University

Facebook Inc. stock gained a new cheerleader Tuesday in BTIG analyst Rich Greenfield, just as the stock opened at an all-time high.
After downgrading Facebook FB, +1.04% in July, on concerns investors expectations were too high and earnings deceleration was around the corner, Greenfield hopped off the sidelines and upgraded shares of the social media company to buy from neutral.
"Not having a buy [rating] on Facebook has clearly been a mistake in 2017," Greenfield wrote in a blog post. "The secular trends toward mobile devices globally and the accelerating shift of ad dollars are simply to strong to ignore."
And it's all in Facebook's video strategy.
Also see: Zuckerberg on whether Facebook tolerates 'fake news' to boost traffic
Facebook's Instagram has become "an overwhelming success story for Facebook," Greenfield wrote. Its disappearing video component Instagram Stories — think Snapchat Inc. SNAP, +3.86% — has provided a quality platform for video and thus a platform for increasingly important video ads.
In January, Facebook said Instagram Stories had 150 million daily active users, pushing Instagram as a whole to more than 400 million daily active users.
Check out: How Facebook and Instagram are quietly changing the appearance of American homes
On Facebook's platform, the company has begun shifting away from live video to more targeted video content using its algorithm. Live video, outside of sports and breaking news, was pegged as boring more often than not, Greenfield notes. But video from professional content producers, such as CNN, HBO and Comedy Central, presents a higher quality, which garners deeper engagement and ad dollars.
Shares of Facebook surged as much as 1.7% to an all-time intraday high of $142.31 soon after the open, before turning lower along with a selloff in the broader stock market.
The shares have gained 25% in the trailing 12-month period. By comparison the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.51% has climbed 15% during the same time frame, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.56% has rallied 18% and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.73% has run up 21%.

"We would like to see Facebook invest in higher quality, longer-form content," Greenfield wrote. "With live video now deemphasized, the picture-in-picture [feature] rolled out and monetization starting, the stage appears set for higher quality video content to emerge."

Is there a widget setting or css code available to adjust the spacing between an animated heading that has two lines?
See attached screen shot for reference. I would like a smaller space between the two lines that make up the animated heading.

Adding the following code directly to the widget's CSS section should allow for the adjustments you are looking for:
.tt {
line-height: 18px;
Adjust the height value to adjust the spacing.
