Finlandia softball to face Whitewater
HANCOCK – Last year, with the Finlandia softball team making an earnest bid for the school's first appearance in an NCAA Tournament, the Selection Show filled the room with tension, drama, and ultimately, heartbreak as the Lions gathered together in a dorm lounge to hear a mysterious committee decide their fate.
This year, the proceedings were decidedly more relaxed as FU guaranteed itself a spot in the Tournament with a dominating run through the three-day Great South Athletic Conference tourney in April. All that was left for Monday morning was to hear the seed and opponent for the Whitewater Regional starting Thursday.
As it turns out, the Lions drew the No. 8 seed and a first-round game with top-seeded Wisconsin-Whitewater in the double-elimination tournament.
Now, it is time to go to work.
"It was a little anti-climactic," FU softball coach Shawn Hendrickson said. "Especially when you compare to last year. And to be honest, I expected (the No. 8 seed). I thought that was what we would do. It is out first time in (the NCAA Tournament) and this is part of the process of proving yourself.
"Our goal all year long has been to win the championship. Is that realistic? I don't know. But to do so you have to beat everyone, so seed doesn't really matter much then. We will play anyone. We can certainly play with anyone."
Given three days to prepare before the 10 a.m. game Thursday against the regional site's host, Hendrickson will have his team on a similar routine as he did leading up the GSAC tournament.
With five freshman starters – including the GSAC Freshman of the Year in Kristen Rose – and just one senior, Hendrickson prefers to have the team focusing on the little details they need to execute rather than any opponent-specific game-plan.
"We have been doing it that way all season and I'm not going to change now," Hendrickson said. "We have such a young team, but they have really impressed me. For experiencing most of this stuff, this pressure for the first time, they really executed (at the GSAC tournament) and really did the small things well you need to do to win games."
Focusing on internal execution may be the wisest course as the Whitewater lineup can certainly intimidate on paper.
In winning 32 games this season, the Warhawks enjoyed seven different batters with over a .300 average on 100 at-bats, finishing with a team-average of .345.
Whitewater outscored opponents by 131 runs in 43 games.
To be fair, Finlandia outscored opponents by 161 runs in 31 games. The two teams shared no common opponents.
"I know this, (Whitewater) will be a very disciplined softball team doing all the small things right," Hendrickson said. "We have to control what we can control, and not worry about what they are doing. It is the same for any opponent. As I have told the girls, whether a team is 0-24 or your NCAA Tournament opponent, you cannot give anybody extra outs and you have to capitalize on your chances."

Eagle Update: Making up for weather
By Jeff Bertrang
ISD 88 Superintendent
I have lost track of the number of Blizzard Warnings and Polar Vortex events we have experienced this winter. There have been too many to count. There are times when the forecast is correct and times when it isn't. Unfortunately, we don't have a crystal ball to help us with decisions; our decisions have the best interest of students in mind. The school calendar has been revised to makeup for some lost time in the classroom. March 31 is now a day of school for all students. Should we have any additional snow days, May 9 would be the next date made up.
March is another busy month for our school sites. Spring testing will start for our elementary students, high school students will register for next year's classes, our winter sports teams will finish up and spring sports seasons will begin. There are many fine arts events throughout the month with plays, concerts and competitions to highlight our student talent. The Eagle Extravaganza is scheduled for March 14th, sponsored by the Friends of ISD88, to raise money for school projects and the Rotary Scholars Banquet is slated for March 24th, honoring area school scholars.
Congratulations and thank you to all of our coaches, athletes and parents for their efforts during this past winter season. Winter is a long season, but there are many memories each of us takes away when it is done.
The facility task force will meet for their fourth meeting on March 11th. At this meeting, the group will review updated information from the architect planning team, discuss the options presented and make a recommendation that goes forward to the full school board for consideration. After much discussion and planning, the task force has whittled the list down to two options. One option is to reconfigure grades, add space at the main campus for performing arts, physical education, classrooms, programs and update athletic fields as much as can be done. The other option is to reconfigure grades, change the existing high school building to a middle school and build a new high school campus with athletic fields.
All of the work the task force is doing is geared towards the future for our school and the community we serve. I appreciate all of the work the community members on our task force have done for us. Their experience, knowledge and input have been invaluable in this planning process.
Go Eagles!

K–12 state-wide assessment programs must be developed and administered in a manner that maximizes participation of students with disabilities and allows for accommodations to the extent reasonable.
Students in special education programs with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and students with disabilities who qualify for special considerations in test administration (covered under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973) may qualify for accommodations. Accommodations increase the validity of test scores by offsetting distortions introduced by a student's disability.
ETS is committed to producing tests and other products that treat diverse populations respectfully and allow them to perform to their full potential. ETS regularly conducts research and educational forums on topics relating to disability and accessibility, such as:
Examining the Factor Structure of a State Standards-Based Assessment of Science for Students With Learning Disabilities
This study examines the scores on a state standards-based Grade 5 Science assessment obtained by a group of students without learning disabilities who took the standard form of the test and by three groups of students with learning disabilities.
Recommendations for Conducting Differential Item Functioning (DIF) Analyses for Students With Disabilities Based on Previous DIF Studies
The purpose of this study is to help ensure that strategies for differential item functioning (DIF) detection for students with disabilities are appropriate and lead to meaningful results. We surveyed existing DIF studies for students with disabilities and describe them in terms of study design, statistical approach, sample characteristics, and DIF results. Based on descriptive and graphical summaries of previous DIF studies, we make recommendations for future studies of DIF for students with disabilities.
Computer-Adaptive Testing for Students With Disabilities: A Review of the Literature
This paper consists of a literature review focusing on adaptive testing issues for students with disabilities in the K–12 sector.
ETS Research Spotlight: A Summary of Applications That Use Student Academic Growth for K–12 Accountability and Implications for Students with Disabilities
This issue of ETS Research Spotlight features a research synopsis of two recent reports by ETS research scientists that examined the challenges associated with measuring year-to-year growth for students with disabilities.
Examining the Impact of Audio Presentation on Tests of Reading Comprehension
This study examines the impact of a read-aloud accommodation on standardized test scores of reading comprehension at grades 4 and 8.
Design Patterns for Improving Accessibility for Test Takers With Disabilities
This report clarifies issues related to designing accessibility features for individuals with disabilities — such as low-vision and blindness — taking a test of reading.
ETS Policy Notes — Students with Learning Disabilities Transitioning from High School to College
This issue provides highlights from an ETS Achievement Gap Symposium co-sponsored by ETS and the National Center for Learning Disabilities.
Accommodations on High-stakes Writing Tests for Students With Disabilities
With the addition of a writing component to many high-stakes tests (e.g., college admission tests and high school exit exams), a review of writing accommodations for students with disabilities becomes critical.

I just started using Pendleton MONDAKO flour for a lighter pizza crust instead of the Pendleton "Power" flour which makes a thicker Chicago style crust. The power flour dough cooks great in a pizza pan at 425 temp for 15 mins and then out of the pan for 5 mins extra on the oven rack. However, the MONDAKO flour dough does not cook well in the pizza pan for me. Thus, i am rolling out the dough and placing it on a floured up wooden cutting board so I can put the sauce, cheese and topping on the pizza i am about to bake. Even with all that flour on the board, I am still having a hard time transferring the dough onto the oven rack, from the floured up wooden board. It wants to stick to the wood and makes it very difficult to transfer to the hot oven rack. Then the flour that falls in the oven burns up and leave that burning smell. Please note, this is my home oven, not a commercial pizza oven. i am making this for my family and friends, not for resale. Any suggestion concerning the sticking??? Thank you.TomPSwould a pizza pan with holes in to help?

Couples that are expecting a new addition to the family have a lot on their minds, but the special needs of the household pets cannot be ignored. Dogs and cats may have a wide range of responses to new babies, and parents need to be sure that their animal will be able to adapt to the new situation once the baby arrives.
According to VCA Animal Hospitals, talking to a veterinarian who specializes in animal behavior is a smart idea. This specialist can help advise the new parents on how best to incorporate their dog or cat into their growing family. The response to a new baby completely depends on the individual dog or cat - some might have no trouble with it, while others may exhibit aggressive behavior.
A good barometer is observing how the pet interacts with other small children. Try to recall if the dog or cat has ever encountered children before and what its response was to the situation. It might help to have a friend bring over their baby or toddler, as long as the owner and parents are there to ensure everything goes safely.
Even a friendly dog or cat may have issues. Snuggling up to a baby that can't move, getting excited when guests come over, or barking to interrupt a newborn's naptime are all common problems new parents who are also pet owners face. Try to simulate what having a baby around will be like well before the due date, and use positive reinforcement to reward good behavior.

|Webster Grade School, home to Gonzaga
High School, 1941-1945; Photo courtesy
of the Jesuit Oregon Province Archives
In addition to space problems at the collegiate level during the war years, Gonzaga also faced a shortage of space to house the High School program. Beginning in 1941, Gonzaga leased from the city the site of the Webster Elementary Grade School, which had closed due to lack of students. (The neighborhood was mostly Catholic and the children attended St. Aloysius School instead). Unfortunately, the building was gutted by fire in April 1945, which forced the high school back into the Administration building.
|Campion Hall (Barracks), 1947
|Gonzaga High School located in
barracks next to DeSmet Hall, 1947
barrack-like frame buildings from the abandoned Baxter Hospital in Ephrata, Washington. With some renovations, the barracks, named Campion Hall after a Jesuit savant, housed 100 college students. Additional barracks were redesigned to house the High School program in 1947. By 1954 the new school building was finally completed and the high school, now called Gonzaga Prep, organizationally and physically left campus for its own site.

From 1958 to 1961, Frank Burgess played basketball at Gonzaga. By his senior year, he was an All-American athlete, Gonzaga's first. In 1961 he was the nations' leading scorer. He obtained his Law Degree from Gonzaga in 1966 and went on to become a U.S. Magistrate in 1981.
|Senator John F. Kennedy at Gonzaga's
gymnasium, 1960
Gonzaga Law School held its first Red Mass on September 18, 1959. Based on a ceremony rooted in fourteenth-century England, the Red Mass was meant to mark the opening of the English Parliament, which coincided with the beginning of the university academic calendar. In the United States the Red Mass is held before the start of each U. S. Supreme Court term. GU President Edmund Morton SJ remarked at the first Red Mass that the event would invoke a blessing on the courts, teachers, students, and lawyers during the upcoming school year.
In early 1960, John F. Kennedy visited campus on his campaign for President. He met with dignitaries and gave a talk in the Gonzaga gymnasium.
|Dr. Franz Schneider
At this same time with the arrival of Fr. Neil McCluskey as Dean of Education, Gonzaga began to move towards the standards of other universities in regards to faculty salaries and professionalism. Franz Schneider, professor of English and honors program director, led the charge to create a chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and write the first Faculty Handbook that would incorporate the basic principles of the AAUP.

Mike Swain - Olympic Bronze Medalist and World Champion
World Judo Champion, Olympic Bronze Medalist and longtime student and coach at San Jose State University, Mike Swain will be the keynote speaker at USA Judo's upcoming Night of Champions, where renowned coaches Willy Cahill and Yosh Uchida will be honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards.
"It is my great honor to be the keynote speaker at the Night of Champions," said Swain, a member of USA Judo's Board of Directors. "Both Yosh and Willy have been my coaches and mentors throughout my judo career, making me a stronger fighter and better individual. Congratulations to both men and I look forward to a great evening."
Not only is Swain one of the most successful U.S. judo competitors of all time, he is also one of the most experienced, having fought in four Olympic Games and five World Championships. Swain trained under Uchida at the San Jose State University Judo Club, and Cahill was one of his coaches at the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games.
This will be the third annual Night of Champions that USA Judo has hosted, providing the sport with a showcase for its finest athletes and supporters, both on and off the mat. Funds raised at the event are used by USA Judo to build the sport at every level, from community judo programs up through training centers for elite athletes.
Tickets to the gala event, scheduled for July 19 at the Crowne Plaza in Foster City, CA, are $100 each and selling quickly. Contact Sherrie Wilson, USA Judo's Director of Marketing, at firstname.lastname@example.com to reserve your place now.
Few people have done so much to advance the sport of judo in this country. These three men have been a particularly powerful presence in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the gala event, including seated dining and silent auction, is planned.
In 1987, Swain was the first U.S. male judoka to win a World Championship. He had already taken a silver medal at the 1985 World Championships and would go on to win another silver there in 1989. He also took a gold medal at the 1987 Pan American Games.
He is one of the few U.S. judo athletes to be on four Olympic teams. He took his bronze medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul.
Swain travelled extensively in training but returned to San Jose State University frequently where he was under Yoshihiro Uchida. He graduated from San Jose State in 1985 with a degree in business marketing. To this day, Swain has continued coaching there and working through his Swain Scholarship to bring more judoka to the campus. He is the Vice President of Martial Arts at Dollamur, Sports LP, where he oversees the development and sales of martial arts equipment. He continues to serve as a member and key spokesperson for USA Judo's Board of Directors.
Yosh Uchida is founder and head coach of the San Jose State University judo program, a foundry for many of the nation's most successful judoka including Olympic medalists Bobby Berland, Mike Swain, Kevin Asano and Marti Malloy. Uchida led the nation's first U.S. Olympic Judo Team to the very first Olympic judo competition, held in 1964 in Tokyo, where Jim Bregman took a bronze medal.
Willy Cahill has been an assistant U.S. Olympic Judo coach twice and a U.S. Paralympic Judo coach twice, leading the U.S. Team to the 2000 Paralympic Games where athletes took two gold medals, the first for the nation. Cahill's San Bruno dojo has produced more than a thousand state, national and international medalists. Among those are Olympic silver medalist Lynn Roethke, 1984 Olympian Brett Baron, who was Willy's student in his San Bruno dojo, and women's Olympic Judo Team Coach Corinne Shigemoto, now USA Judo's COO.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (815 votes).
In short: Ok for half marathoners like me...In full: As other posters have pointed out, cancelling a race in this manner simply isn't acceptable unless there is a MAJOR hazard that genuinely poses a threat. There was a barely audible announcement 3 minutes before the start, which I only heard as I was at the front. The Greenway was absolutely awful, with gloopy mud and puddles everywhere (I went from being 60 secs inside PB pace at 10 miles to missing out by 20 secs), but not DANGEROUS! As someone who'd only entered the half, I personally have no complaints, but friends of mine who'd planned on doing the full were understandably gutted.The course itself is a really good one, the hill I'd been told about after 8 miles wasn't too tough. Good support from the marshals. Wouldn't hurt to give more than a banana for £26 though, would it?Date of review: April 29, 2012
In short: Tough tough race, harder than last wks VLMIn full: Signed up for the half having done it last yr and thought great local event. Travelling from Coventry an easy start for a Sunday morning. Brutal weather meant that they cut the full on the day, but this late call was not particularly clear even at the start line. I know our club captain was keen to run the full as his 407th marathon and the late cull put paid to this. I get the duty of care race officials have around a race , but most marathoners are hardy souls and would have trained , prepared accordingly. Rain or shine you get whats given and that's the beauty of the Great British weather ! I heard a few grumbles on the way round from people who were taking the full anyway "unofficially" and would plough on despite the officials decision.The support on way round was better than I expected, especially in the conditions, but the greenway was a quagmire. I guess this is pushing it on a bad day to call it a road race, as the puddles and mud put paid to any chance of pushing on on the last few miles.20 seconds off a half pb for me, but nonetheless pleased to get round and feel ok a week after London.Now I'm home and dried out, i notice no date or year on the medal? Come on guys thats a bit tight! At the end you got a banana and a bottle of water. Thanks to the lady marshal who peeled it for me as i couldnt feel my fingers. For the price I would have expected a medal more personal to the event. Last years medal in the Shakespeares house design was fab, this year run of the mill round design. Top marks to the marshals, believe me it was easier to run on a day like today. Date of review: April 29, 2012
In short: Marathon cancelled due to weather conditions. Completed the half instead. Understandable why the marathon was cancelled. The marshals and volunteers were very supportive. I'll be back next year, hopefully with better weather.Date of review: April 29, 2012
In short: Horrendous conditions and cancelled on the day, so just the HM to runIn full: This was supposed to be my first full marathon and with the conditions it would have been a tough one. That would have been tough for me and not them so why cancel, if I wanted to stop I could have, but I wss not given the choice.There was an announcement, apparatly, but I did not hear it, I was told by a fellow runner. I spoke to a guy at the 5 mile mark and he was unaware that the race he was in was cancelled.OK so they cannot do anything about the weather and they do care about our safety, but ALL the marshalls should have been telling everyone for the first 3 miles then everyone would know.Also they should have put something on the web site as many people check this before setting out. There is not even anything on it now after the race has finished. Date of review: April 29, 2012
In short: Why cancel on the day!?In full: I found out 5 minutes before the start that the full marathon had been cancelled due to the adverse weather. Yes, it was cold and raining, but we all knew that before turning up at the start line! We were prepared and in honesty it was not that bad! Certainly nowhere near Snowdon 2011 conditions and that was a allowed to go ahead (and was not that bad once you got going).Marshalls were OK, although some were making inane comments like 'I'm glad I'm not running' and 'I'd rather be watching the Tele'.Medal was cheap as chips - not even got a date on it!Date of review: April 29, 2012
In short: In full: It was cancelled on the day! fair enough the weather was HURRENDOUS, but if it was that dangerous, why would the half marathon continue? Also, the stewards on the course didn't have a clue that the full course had been cancelled, i asked 3 if it had been given the go ahead... why would this crucial information not have been communicated to them? To be fair- the stewards were enthusiastic and friendly, despite the freezing, windy and wet conditions. I paid alot of money to travel to this event, plus the entry cost, and it would have been nice to be given the oppurtunity to have run what i entered, particulary as i had been doing it as a sponsered event.Date of review: April 29, 2012
In short: This was my first 'official' Half Marathon and I'll be doing it again. Nice scenery, great support in the local villagesIn full: Quite hilly with long inclines in places and the Greenway seems to go on forever but great running surface all round with plenty of water points. Water was in cups last year and no t-shirt included in entry fee but for a fee you could purchase one at the end for a tenner !Date of review: January 4, 2012
In short: A good atmosphere with supportive spectators but quite crowded at the startDate of review: October 21, 2011
In short: c- u next year xxIn full: this was well worth doing and will be back next year with luck ,lovely scenery nice cheering peeps tough little hill and my only negative being the railway track mind numbing - but i must add well organised by the SRC oh and could you make the t-shirt a option when entering please . KB Kirkstall Harriers LeedsDate of review: May 19, 2011
In short: massive PBIn full: Really enjoyed my day, particularly knocking six minutes off my best and getting down under 1.35! Organisation was good- I enjoyed the comedy messages before the start. Actually, the course itself is generally very flat, but with two inclines and one reasonably testing hill- although you do get a nice steep downhill immediately afterwards. I rather liked my medal and it was a really nice touch to have it handed over with a handshake- made it worthwhile! Date of review: May 18, 2011

so, after spending 5 hours cleaning up in the basement again today, I have this to say:
If the darkroom is flooded, it's probably the trap on the street, call Scottish Water to get it fixed.
BUT...... if the watery goodness is coming out of the trap under the new toilets (1st stall) then it's probably our problem (as it was today) and call Ken or Chris ASAP to sort it out. it was mega gross today, Ken came & helped out and then the lovely scottish water guy fiddled his report & helped us even though he wasn't supposed to.
Would anyone please like to make some signs about not sticking bad stuff down the toilets? as humorous as you like, maybe describe the look on my face after 5 hours of cleaning up poo...

Five Questions With...Dilly Duka
The Columbus Dispatch - May 29, 2012 12:57 PM
Five questions with Crew midfielder Dilly Duka.
1. If you weren't playing soccer, what would you be doing?
"I would've finished school, which I'm in the process of doing. I'd probably be done – I'm 22, so I would've finished up school and maybe decided from there. I left school early so I'm not really sure. Maybe get into the family business, which is construction."
2. What's been the best moment of your soccer career?
"So far, my best moment was probably just the fact that I can travel so much playing soccer and visit places like Egypt and Argentina. I've been to so many countries, and the fact that I get to travel and it's usually not at my expense, that's definitely awesome."
3. Outside of soccer, do you have a favorite athlete?
"Yeah, I'm very into basketball now that it's playoff time. I like a couple NBA players. I don't want to go name a player because I don't want people to go, 'Oh, he's a fan of this guy.' I do like basketball and I'm really into the playoffs.
4. If you were stranded on a deserted island, what would you bring with you?
"I would take my laptop, and hopefully I'd have internet service."
5. What's your favorite part of Columbus?
"I just love the fact that where I live, I live downtown and there's so many different restaurants. You'll find me at a different restaurant every night."
Last week's edition of "Five Questions…" featured Sebastian Miranda. Revisit it here.

Welcome stranger. The longer we continue, the more cultural collisions occur. We've been having a bumper crop this century, so far, with no letup in sight. Things get better and worse, at the same time! Idiots battle idiots and idiots win no matter who loses. Nothing can be done, but everything needs doing.
Still, all the more need for our little clinic here with our topless nurses running around doing their best to cope with the increased workload of seriously disturbed web-surfers. So, come on in and take a seat. We have a selection of unusual reading material, some elegant art on the walls, and a helpful head nurse who will be happy to take your temperature while you wait. Feeling suicidal? Stop in at the ecumenical chapel down the hall and meditate on your breath for a while. Hungry perhaps? Try some of these hot links. Mmmmm good. Feeling rather paranoid (who isn't)? Check out the conspiracy corner without further delay. Looking for startling attire or curios? Step into the Clinic Gift Shoppe. Oh, and please drop us a note if you like. Contact info: mailbox We'd love to know who has stopped by for a visit.
Astute patients will note the juxtaposition in the Clinic environment of links and value systems that would seem to be mutually exclusive. According to the Doctor's philosophy of cultural collision, mental health in the diabolical here and now requires the ability to witness and digest jarring contradictions while maintaining personal equilibrium. The Web (much like the "real" world) provides entree to a host of shockingly dissimilar ideas, sights, and sounds. The observation of such a mix of opinions and behaviors with a properly detached state of mind can lead to the expansion of tolerance or, at least, an awareness of the diversity of human endeavor. Those who cannot develop this are apparently left with little recourse but to try and burn their shoes, seek a short-cut to Paradise, or incarcerate those whose names look funny and were born in the wrong countries.
Note: Inclusion of a link in the Clinic's habitat does not necessarily imply endorsement. Should you experience a reactive state upon linking to another site, the Doctor suggests an immediate return to the Clinic for a personal consultation with the head nurse and possible consideration for our free pre-frontal lobotomy services. Most operations are available on an outpatient basis and we have had great success in retooling grumps on short notice. Especially hard cases, such as cabinet members and under-secretaries, may also require extended teeth-cleaning sessions with the dental hygienists and water-boarders who provide this public service to the Clinic on a pro-bono basis. Caveat Emptor.

Women's Health Study Report: Postpartum Depression
The pregnant glow—we've all seen it. Maybe it was a friend, a few months from her due date, looking gorgeous and radiant. Perhaps the woman behind you in line at the grocery store looked about ready to pop, but was still glowing.
Then there is the joy of a new baby. When you can't stop looking at those tiny fingers and counting those precious little toes. When you stay awake at night, just to watch that sweet little bundle of joy sleep. You feel an intense love, but you may, just as intensely, feel overwhelmed. Women may struggle with their emotions during this period. Some may feel sad and not understand why. A few may be diagnosed with postpartum depression.
Postpartum depression is a type of depression that affects women after giving birth. Feeling sad or having 'the blues' after childbirth is not uncommon, but if this depressed mood continues for several days or weeks, it becomes postpartum depression.
Childbirth has profound biological, social, and psychological effects. These effects do not just occur after birth, women experience changes in their body and mind from the moment of conception. Researchers at Bristol University in England focused on how mood is affected both during and after pregnancy. The results of their study were published in 2001 in the British Medical Journal.
Studying Mood and Pregnancy ^
The study involved more than 9,000 pregnant women. Two questionnaires that evaluate mood and identify depression were used—the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale and the Crown Crisp experiential index depression subscale. The women completed the surveys at 18 and 32 weeks of pregnancy and at eight weeks and eight months postpartum.
The scores showed the highest level of depression at 32 weeks of pregnancy and the lowest at eight months postpartum. The proportion of women with probable depression was as follows:
- 8% at 18 weeks of pregnancy
- 5% at 32 weeks of pregnancy
- 1% at eight weeks postpartum
- 1% at eight months postpartum
The study's authors note that self-reporting questionnaires, such as those used here, do not provide a clinical diagnosis of depression. However, the values are consistent with the percentage of women that report depression at other times of life, which is 10%-15%. This research brings to light the need to seek out and identify depression during pregnancy, as well as after delivery. The study's authors point out that although it is unclear how, the mood state of the mother may have an important affect on the uterine environment and the developing baby.
Women who are feeling depressed should consider talking to their doctor. Their doctor may be able to refer them to a professional who specializes in women and depression.

About the Author: María Otero serves as Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs.
After an intense day in Dadaab, it is a welcome change in atmosphere to dine with five Kenyan women who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of human rights and women's empowerment.
I had an unexpected surprise in the arrival of Phoebe Asiyo, a longtime friend who I first met twenty years ago. Phoebe is one of Kenya's most prominent leaders, both for her twenty-plus years in parliament and her work with organizations like CEDPA and the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Along with Phoebe, I enjoyed visiting with Ann Njogu, founder of the Center for Rights Education and Awareness, Rukia Subow, Chair of Maendeleo Ya Wanawake (a national women's organization) and the Minister of Gender and Children's Affairs, Esther Murugi. The discussion ranged from the economic and political challenges faced by women in Kenya; to the potential for them to engage more fully through the new constitution; and the need for healing in the wake of the 2007 post-election violence. We could have talked all night. Instead, we promised to stay in touch -- and to rededicate ourselves to the promotion of women's rights in Kenya and around the world.
Under Secretary Otero traveled to East Africa January 25-February 1 to engage with governments and civil society on an array of global issues that address human security. The East Africa trip culminated with the Under Secretary leading the U.S. delegation to the African Union Summit in Addis Ababa.Follow the Under Secretary on Twitter @usmariaotero.

Hi Maria,
Hope you don't mind if I dispense with titles or formalities in blog-post format;
One might look at Dipnote as one's living room, and I saw this here post of your's...with no comments...like you'd sent invitations to a party and no one had showed.
So, I would like to first ask your friend if she thinks the women of Africa can convince the menfolk to put down their guns long enough to plant trees and build that "green wall" to hold back desertification I've heard some mention about.
Lot of folks displaced in Kenya for years and years. What we have here is a human resource challenge of the highest order.
I'd like to get creative about this conflict resolution buisiness as well, because the "same-old, same old" cycle of victimization keeps 'a trucking on the circular path. Like a dog chasing its tail.
Best throw it a stick...What do you think?
We democracies haven't yet learned the lessons dictators and tyrants have supposedly taught us when we say "Never again!" time and again.
Well, we seem content to put up with them, time and again is all...and I gotta wonder why.
When we let the al-quaida's and the al- Shebab's sleep comfortably at night knowing they've put a halt to human progress as becoming of a "divinely inspired" source of human misery.
Yet we condone such by not ridding the world of their very existance with extreme prejudice and purpose, for that is what it will take.
A friend once asked me when I said the world would become a better place to live if we simply planted trees and terrorists- premised uopn the fact that one grows, the other becomes fertilizer);
"How evil do we have to get to kill every terrorist in the world?"
I had to ponder it a bit...and said this;
"If you drowned a litter of unwanted puppies, that would be evil...for lack of creative alternative.
But when you have a rabid dog running amok, it's going to die of its disease anyway and infects those it bites before it does, so you're actually doing the dog a favor by putting it down to protect the community, as a compassionate act to put it out of its misery."
History shows there's no half measure involved in the defeat of tyrany, lest people continue to suffer under it.
We democracies can and must level the playing field for the future of mankind to have any future of worth.
"We" in all of the above being an abstract accomodation to a coalition of the willing, whether being government or individual.
As such I only speak for the observation as an individual.
Perhaps ideas can move masses and mountains, and somedays one can anticipate miracles.

Basketball - Girls Varsity
vs. Pomfret Tournament
|Event Type:
|December 15, 2012
|see recap
Event Recap:
The Lady Bears traveled to Pomfret School to kick off their holiday vacation in the New England Girls Basketball Tournament. The Bears faced three tough Class B competitors in Pomfret, Cushing, and Tilton, all of which made it to postseason play in the 2011-2012 season.
In the first game against Pomfret, the Bears battled hard but ultimately were beat at their own game. They surrendered too many rebounds and loose balls to the Griffins, and despite settling into their rhythm late in the first half, could not pull off the win. Hannah Cooke '14 had her best game of the season, scoring 21 points and shooting a whopping 80% from the field. Samone DeFreese '15 was the next leading scorer with eight points, followed by Kristalyn Baisden '15 with six. Camryn Biasin '14 grabbed nine boards and DeFreese had seven of her own. The final score was 43-50 in favor of the Griffins.
On Saturday, Berkshire was looking to improve upon their performance in the early bird game against Cushing. Unfortunately, the Bears continued to struggle with turnovers and were bothered by Cushing's pesky backcourt. DeFreese had some nice moves near the basket to earn 15 points for Berkshire, while Baisden had nine points, including two more 3-pointers (five total in the tournament). Biasin continued to excel on the boards with 10 rebounds, and DeFreese's 12 gave her a double-double for the game. Keunna Dill '14 played well for the Bears and had six points to go with her impressive pressure defense. If the Bears had played as hard as they had in the final 1:30 of the game, the outcome may have been different; they lost 41-53.
In their final game of the tournament, Coach Smith asked the girls to do one thing: come out and play hard. They did just that for the very beginning of the first half, closing out on Tilton players and keeping the pressure high. Running out of steam, the Rams overtook control of the game and ran away with it. Though the Bears were able to bring the game within 20 points and end the game with a 51-70 loss, Tilton's lead stretched to 30 at times. DeFreese had her best game of the tournament with another double-double (24 points, 14 rebounds). Baisden was the only other player in double figures for points (10), and Biasin had seven points and nine solid rebounds. Nicky Friedman '15 played well in her few moments in the game and got a basket of her own in the closing seconds.
Ultimately, the Bears are looking forward to a restful holiday break with their families after learning a great deal about their status in Class B New England last weekend. They will reunite in Maine the day after Christmas for the Mustang Classic at CMCC.

Family of missing man asks for public's help
Houghton-PT ineligible for Great Explorations
HOUGHTON – After 10 years, Houghton-Portage Township Schools can no longer be part of BHK's Great Explorations program. However, the district will continue to provide after-school programs, Superintendent Doreen Klingbeil said Monday during the regular board of education meeting.
The end of the program at Houghton isn't a choice, but a necessity, Klingbeil said. To be part of the grant for which BHK applies, a school must have at least 30 percent children who qualify for free and reduced-price meals. As of 2011, Houghton was at 28 percent.
"If they put us in the application, that would immediately make them exempt, so we can't be part of it," she said.
The free and reduced number would likely also be a stumbling block for other grants, Klingbeil said.
BHK will work with the district to continue the summer program this summer. Houghton will run an after-school program on its own next year.
"When I was first a principal, we had an after-school program," she said. "It wasn't as large as Great Explorations, but we've learned a lot and we can still maintain an after-school program. It might look a little different, we may have to charge things a little differently, but we will offer something for parents."
Klingbeil said she will meet with BHK and its financial advisor to work on setting up the new program.
"We will do the best pricing we can so it's something that can be maintained," she said.
In other action, the board:
approved $1,100 for a Model United Nations trip to Ann Arbor. Model UN member Christopher Held said the team would represent Guatemala, learn the nation's stance on topics, break into committees and address world problems.
hired Melissa Grego as softball coach.
accepted the resignation of Laura Olson, who works in food service.
heard a report from Middle School Principal Jim Luoma. Three students qualified in the second round of the high school Michigan Math Prize Competition. Tenth-grader Daniel Gershenson finished in the top five in the state, eighth-grader Maggie Wang came in 255th and eighth-grader Noah Gershenson finished 520th. The Houghton Middle School team finished in fourth place at this month's regional competition, earning seven medals. The middle school play took place last weekend: Twenty-one sixth-grade students performed "No Body to Murder," while 25 seventh and eighth grade students performed "Ten Little Chipmunks." The performances took in more than $1,600.
heard a report from High School Principal Julie Filpus. Cheyenne Kaufman advanced to the state Poetry Out Loud competition. Jada Riutta, a junior, was selected as finalist for a photography competition; only 8 percent of the 16,000 applicants were so honored. The High School Bowl team finished runner-up among 40 teams, and goes on to state competition in April. The girls' swim team placed first in the Upper Peninsula swim finals last weekend.
heard a report from Elementary School Principal Patrick Aldrich. Kindergarten registration is coming up on March 20. The move to all-day kindergarten has been "very successful," Aldrich said; reading scores have been especially strong. The science fair for fourth and fifth graders is March 14. There will be several activities for Reading Month in March.
heard a student council report from president Rachel Collaer. Two weeks ago, the council put on the annual Wing Ding assembly. The council will now transition to multiple smaller projects.

Has anybody heard why KOTB was released on double vinyl? It is average album - 49:08. For example, Flowers in The Dirt is 48:49 long, Off the Ground - 50:16, Flaming Pie - even 53:34 and have been issued on one LP.
I really like the sound of KOTB on vinyl and I am pretty sure that this is the best format for this album. But these 4 sides being so short (4/4/3/3 songs) make the album so fragmentary that it's hard to enjoy it. Even two tracks from deluxe edition were not added.

BEIJING (AP) Russia, Romania and Norway all earned victories on Friday to stay perfect at women's Olympic handball.
Hungary (2-1-1) overcame an early first-half deficit for a 13-12 lead, but world champion Russia led 16-15 at halftime before using a 14-5 run to triumph 33-24 and clinch Group B.
Romania closed out the first half of its game with Angola on a 10-2 run in which Ramona Maier scored five of her seven goals of what turned out to be a 28-23 victory for Romania, which stayed tied atop Group A. Angola cannot advance after falling to 0-4.
Norway matched Romania's 4-0 record with a 34-24 win over France. Katja Nyberg and Linn-Kristin Riegelhuth scored six goals apiece for the Norwegians.
Ana Rodrigues scored in the final minute to lift Brazil to a 33-32 win over previously undefeated South Korea (2-1-1), which had already qualified for the quarterfinals. The Brazilians (1-1-2) kept their chances of reaching the last eight alive thanks to their first victory.
Kazakhstan (1-0-3) remained in the hunt for a spot in the final eight after hanging on for a 29-26 victory over China.
Wang Shasha's goal closed China to within one in the 45th minute but the Kazakhs responded with two straight goals and led by two the rest of the way. China (1-0-3) would have clinched a quarterfinals spot with a win and still can with a victory against France (2-0-2) on the final day of group play on Sunday.
Teresa Utkovic's last minute goal gave Sweden a 27-26 victory against Germany, which dropped its third straight.
Both teams are tied with 1-0-3 records in Group B.

Eighties music wouldn't have been the same without Journey. One of the biggest bands in rock history, Journey has earned 19 top-40 singles and 25 gold and platinum albums with such power ballads as "Any Way You Want It," "Faithfully" and the still-popular "Don't Stop Believin'." Journey formed in 1973 in San Francisco and has gone through a number of changes, including a seven-year disbandment in 1989. The group is now on a two-year tour for its latest album, Eclipse, and will perform at Cruzan Amphitheatre on October 13. Bassist Ross Valory, an original member of the band, talked with PBI about Journey's popularity and direction today.
<img alt="Journey - " don't="" stop="" believing"="" -="" photo="" by="" travis="" shinn"="" data-cke-saved-src="http://cache.trustedpartner.com/images/library/PalmBeachIllustrated2010/Magazine/2012/Oct/Tste/Journey---photo-by-Travis-Shinn.jpg" src="http://cache.trustedpartner.com/images/library/PalmBeachIllustrated2010/Magazine/2012/Oct/Tste/Journey---photo-by-Travis-Shinn.jpg" height="363" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="410">
"Don't Stop Believin'" could be considered your signature song. Why do you think it's had such staying power?
It's the universal message in the song. Even in good times, people have bad times. Given the times today, people relate to its simple message. It means the same to everybody: to pick ourselves up another day, and do it again.
Journey has gone through a lot of transitions over the years. How would you describe where you are as a band today?
Journey has for sure withstood the transitions—basically the reforming of Journey without some original members. We rebuilt and reintroduced the band to a great amount of acceptance and success. The music is still popular, people bring their kids and grandkids to see us and teens discover us as "retro fashion." Journey is performing as well as ever!
What are you guys like off the stage?
What you see is what you get! We're the same off stage as on. That's reflected when people meet us on the street.
What do you do to stay sane while on the road?
You've got to balance the odd road hours with normal activities, whether it's sleeping, eating, exercise, yoga, golfing or shopping. For me, balancing the input is important. I can get to my room after an exhilarating show yet still feel I need some brain food. Slingbox is fantastic; I can watch all the TV I want, in any time zone. I love science, history and related subjects. PBS, the Military Channel, Nova—there's plenty of that on TV that suits me.
How is Eclipse different from your other albums?
Neal [Schon, lead guitarist] put a lot of energy into Eclipse. It was his idea to revisit some of the other styles we are known for. Since 1998, like on Arrival and Generations, for example, there were songs similar in style to the hits of yesteryear, especially in the ballad department. Now it's a different time, and songs don't have the same impact—like that "first kiss" song you'll never forget. ... There's no format for it yet. It was an attempt to look at other ways to express ourselves in our songs.
There are a ton of Journey cover bands out there. If you were a cover band, who would you be?
The most interesting tribute band I've seen was on the road with Heart, in New Orleans. It was Midget KISS. If you took members from various tribute bands and coached them, they would be really good.
Me? Well, Frank Zappa's son has already done whom I would want to cover. But I haven't got the time, anyway!

Firebrick will slow down your heatup time. I would suggest you use brickmold angle iron pieces, cut to fit the length of your oven. Just put a few down across the top rack and your steel will sit nicely on top with no wobbling. Hopefully not too close to your broiler, so you can have oven spring without oven fire
Do you mean something like this?: http://image.made-in-china.com/4f0j00GvYthpcCJigN/Hot-DIP-Galvanized-Angle-Irons-Q235-.jpgIf so, how can I confirm that these iron pieces are food safe (i.e. won't give off harmful fumes at high temps)?

Fire chief search begins in Fort Dodge
Fort Dodge could have a new fire chief in May under a recruiting and hiring schedule approved by the city's Civil Service Commission Tuesday.
Jim Vollmer, the city's human resources director, said he's hoping for a seamless transition between outgoing Chief David Luers and his successor, perhaps avoiding the need to name an interim or acting fire chief.
Luers announced on Feb. 4 that he will retire by the end of July. He has been the fire chief in Fort Dodge since Aug. 1, 2010, but he came to the city to take that job with decades of previous experience in the Burlington Fire Department, where he rose to the rank of assistant chief. Altogether, he has 36 years of fire service experience.
The schedule approved Tuesday calls for Vollmer to immediately begin advertising the position on various fire department and city government web sites. Applications will be due March 15.
Those who apply for the job will have to answer a series of seven essay questions focusing on leadership, budgeting and communication skills.
There will not be a standardized exam similar to the ones people must pass to have a chance at being hired for an entry-level firefighter or police officer position.
Stuart Cochrane, the chairman of the commission, said state law requires fire chief candidates to pass some type of examination but gives no guidance on the format of that test. He said the essay test was developed about three years ago to meet that requirement.
The Civil Service Commission will review the answers to those essay questions during the week of March 25 and grade the candidates. Vollmer said each candidate will have to score a seven or higher on a 10 point scale to be considered eligible for the post.
The list of eligible candidates will be submitted to the City Council on April 8. After the council approves the list, City Manager David Fierke will interview the candidates.
The schedule approved Tuesday anticipates that Fierke will pick his preferred candidate and submit their name for City Council approval in late April.

I have long been fascinated by Eastern Orthodox spirituality and theology, and I'm delighted to throw a spotlight on it in this holiest of Christian seasons. In engaging all the senses — with incense, iconography, and lush hymnody — Orthodox worship conveys the incarnational message of Easter as a matter of routine. In fact, in the Armenian Orthodox tradition of Vigen Guroian, every Sunday is in some sense a celebration of Easter. And in the passions of his life — as in the culture of generations of Armenians who came before him — he also tends the Easter themes year round through life, death, and resurrection in his beloved perennial garden.
There is a mystical collusion of the lofty and the literal, of sacred and earthly, in Guroian's perspective. He describes how in Orthodox liturgy — as in gardening, as in life — "beginnings and endings" are repeatedly, transparently connected. And so an Armenian Easter commemorates the larger cosmic drama — beginning with the creation of the world, and human exile from the original garden of Eden, through eternity — that frames what the New Testament calls the "New Creation" in Jesus Christ.
That, of course, is high theology. But in Vigen Guroian's imagination and in his garden, high theology is made three-dimensional, brought down in the most literal way to earth. So, for example, he describes the sacrificial labor of early spring, the time of Lent — the pruning, the mess, the clearing away that prepares him and his soil to "receive the gift."
As he does so he not only evokes the grand themes of Easter, he vividly reveals the ancient, organic connections between many religious holidays of this time of year and nature's cycles of fertility, decay, and regeneration.
At the same time, as Vigen Guroian remembers the aunts and uncles of his childhood, many of whom were survivors of the Armenian genocide of the early 20th century, he finds a connection between the gardens they cherished and the human tenacity to insist on the possibility of new life and resurrection out of every disaster.
In closing this week, I offer a handful of readings from Vigen Guroian as meditations on ancient, sometimes hidden themes of this religious season that even the most devout of moderns might easily forget — exiled as so many of us are, by culture, from gardens.
From the essay "On Leaving the Garden" in The Fragrance of God:
"I have said on occasion that I think gardening is nearer to godliness than theology. … True gardeners are both iconographers and theologians insofar as these activities are the fruit of prayer "without ceasing.". Likewise, true gardeners never cease to garden, not even in their sleep, because gardening is not just something they do. It is how they live."
From the opening chapter of "On Leaving the Garden" in The Fragrance of God:
"In the Christian religion, sight has frequently been proffered as a metaphor for the experience of God. The medieval theologians spoke of the "vision of God" as the summum bonum, the highest good of the Christian life. They singled out sight as the "mystical" sense, the one that draws us deepest into communion with God. Dare I contend with souls so wise? For I have a notion that smell, not sight, is the most mystical sense. The garden has persuaded me of this."
And, an excerpt from "Lenten Spring" in Inheriting Paradise:
"Lilies and hyacinths signify the resurrection, and I can understand why. But I have a pair of turtles that plant themselves in my garden each fall like two gigantic seeds and rise on Easter with earthen crowns upon their humbled heads. With the women at the tomb, I marvel."

On Friday, October 19, 2012, a luncheon was held to honor the first-ever winners of the Genn Prize for Professional Development. Nancy Garcia, grant administrator for anatomy & structural biology; Najam Hayat, director of interactive media; and Hector Jimenez, unified administrator of epidemiology & population health each were awarded $2,000 toward their attendance at or participation in conferences or educational programs that can further their professional growth. The trio was selected from among 18 individuals who were nominated for the prize.
Through a generous endowment gift of $100,000, Emanuel "Manny" Genn, former associate dean for finance and administration, established the prize with his wife Myra, with the goal of aiding in developing skills, knowledge and other qualities that prepare administrative staff for career growth within the College of Medicine.
"I had thought about doing this for a long time," said Mr. Genn, who shared that he was a lifelong student who still enrolls in courses to further his own learning. "With the complexities of today's world, it's important to further your knowledge and capabilities. And, it's also important to recognize administrative staff members and have them be partners in the medical school's growth."
Using their prizes, Mr. Jimenez and Ms. Garcia will represent Einstein at the National Council of University Research Administrators, while Mr. Hayat will complete a certificate program focused on online content production. Each award recipient offered thanks to Mr. Genn and the award selection committee, comprised of Dr. Edward Burns, executive dean; Jed Shivers, associate dean for finance and administration and Yvonne Ramirez , chief human resources officer at Yeshiva University and Einstein. Each also spoke briefly about how the award will help them advance their knowledge and skills.
Ms. Ramirez noted, "Manny spent more than 36 years working tirelessly for the overall improvement and success of Einstein. The establishment of the Genn Prize is a wonderful idea that represents his commitment to Einstein, assuring its excellence going forward."
She added, "It's thanks to Manny's vision and hard work that Einstein is an exciting place to come to everyday. We're grateful to him and Myra for their ongoing support of Einstein."
The Genn Prize will be awarded annually to one or more management staff employees who demonstrate outstanding performance and commitment in improving the College of Medicine. To learn more about the prize, the level of support it will provide for professional development and how to apply, please visit the human resources website.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Nice friendly countryside runIn full: Good HQ with pavillion to keep out of the chill pre run. Good toilet facilities. Very well marshalled round the whole course which took in some nice country lanes with some gentle undulations to keep things challenging. The roads were "live" but there wasn`t much traffic. Hot drinks and cakes at the HQ were a nice touch. Thanks Portsmouth Joggers, another quality event.Date of review: October 21, 2012
In short: Very pleasant seaside race, suitable for both club runners and fun/charity runners alike. Nice friendly organisation at start/finish area and decent goody bag.In full: This event is local to me so very easy to get to. Parking is free and easy to find. Toilet facilities at the start were not great, (I do know how much it costs to hire portaloos from being involved with cycle race organisation myself, so I fully appreciate why having more would eat into the event funds meaning less money for the RNLI, so perfectly understandable)Course mostly along wide promenade so easy to follow but sometimes having to zig zag round pedestrians could be a little frustrating. I did the eight mile event and did find some of the signage a little small and difficult to see until the last moment, (Not a problem for me as I`m local and had a pretty good idea where we would be going). Very impressed at finish where as I crossed the line somebody asked me my age category then told me I had a third place in category award which was given to me there and then, nice touch and very slick that! Overall a lovely event which I`ll do again.Date of review: October 8, 2012
In short: Lovely friendly race, well organised, interesting course, easy to park with a Town centre start and finishIn full: This was my second Bayer 10km and the organisation, marshaling etc were just as good as last year. I really like the atmosphere in the Town Square where the start/finish is located. Running the last 300m through the shopping area into a waiting crowd in the square gives you a "Big Event" sort of feeling. The event has a nice interesting course although runners should be aware that some of the trails are pretty rough and uneven and could catch out the unwary. It`s very important to start in your correct time zone on this one as there are a lot of areas that are very difficult to pass slower runners. Will definitely be coming back for this one.Date of review: May 14, 2012
In short: Shame about the distance error but a great day just the sameIn full: Well documented error on the race distance which has obviously marred the event for many runners. I feel sorry for them if they were on for a PB or if it was their first/last half marathon. However, for those of us that just enjoy the run for a "Day out" it was a great event. From the park and ride, to the lovely sea view course and fantastic supportive crowd I thouroughly enjoyed the day.My negative is really the general state of the road surface in the "town" section of the course which is a reflection of the Council rather than the race organiser. Would I do it again? I`ll have to, just to see what I could have done! ;-)Date of review: February 20, 2012
In short: Another good event from Portsmouth A CIn full: Well organised,stadium start/finish,good facilities,well marshalled(Thank you marshals, couldn`t do these things without you) and plenty more good stuff.Date of review: September 20, 2011
In short: Well organised. Easy parking. Town centre start & finish. Mixed terrainIn full: Nice to start and finish in town shopping centre with a good crowd of spectators. A nice mix of running surfaces and gradients keeps things interesting. A bit difficult to pass other runners in some areas, although I had already read this prior to entering and I could have easily moved up nearer to the start line had I wanted to. Well marshalled and friendly race.Date of review: May 31, 2011
In short: Fast, flat, excellently organized, great HQ and parking, outstanding marshals. A good 1st half marathon.Date of review: November 21, 2010
In short: Really enjoyed it. My first smallish event, I`ve only done the Great south run before, but didn`t feel out on a limb from the club runners.Date of review: May 12, 2010

Pipes serve as extra arms when you need a hand
To work with long lumber on a radial arm saw, Club member John Kelly of Middletown, New Jersey, created this ingenious support system. He raised the saw table to sit 2 in. above his workbench and then used U-clamps to attach 24-in. lengths of 2-in.-dia. PVC pipe to the bench. The U-clamps allow the PVC pipe sections to slide out and serve as lumber supports whenever he needs a helping hand with long boards. Brought to you by: American Profile

SCSU Now
MTQ master's program debuts this fall
Thursday, June 21, 2012
This fall St. Cloud State will offer a new master of science degree in Medical Technology Quality (MTQ) uniquely focused on medical products.
Professionals in the medical technology industry develop and implement systems for ensuring product quality from concept and design to manufacturing and full commercialization.
An undergraduate degree in engineering, science, biochemistry, bio statistics, public health, nursing or similar field is recommended.
Visit the MTQ website for information on classes, schedule and application process.
"In today's competitive environment, especially in the Minnesota medical device sector, identifying and hiring competent and well-informed personnel in the quality profession is becoming more and more difficult," said Jeff Fecho, vice president of global quality for St. Jude Medical, a multinational based in Little Canada, a suburb of St. Paul.
Said Fecho: "The medical technology quality program, coupled with the already active regulatory and clinical programs at SCSU, provides us with a readily available and credible source specifically geared toward the medical device industry. This program has global appeal and is a key educational component in assuring that our employees have what they need to keep us compliant and competitive."
Fecho is on the university's MTQ advisory board, which includes industry professionals from medical technology giants such as Medtronic and 3M, as well as other industry insiders.
Minnesota is home to nearly 600 FDA-approved medical device manufacturers. Minnesota companies registered nearly 2,220 medical device patents between 2005 and 2009, ranking second among all states, according to the state's Department of Employment and Economic Development.
The medical technology quality program is the third St. Cloud State master's program designed for the medical technology industry. Regulatory Affairs and Services debuted in 2007. Applied Clinical Research launched in 2010.
Classes will be evenings and weekends at the university's Twin Cities Graduate Center in Maple Grove. Interested students should contact the College of Science and Engineering at 320-308-2167 or e-mail email@example.com.

One chicken can feed us for days. I roast it for dinner, then remove the rest of the meat and use it in pot pies or chicken salad, then I use the carcass to make stock.
Keep the wax paper from butter wrappings in the freezer, use them to grease baking pans.
Any time a recipe calls for white wine I use dry vermouth. A bottle lasts much longer and tastes great.
A few old bananas become tomorrow's banana bread.

Re: Cook clever
Use any leftover sauces in your next meal. I tend to make my own sauces for meals, so any leftover goes in the fridge. Great to add to a shepherd's pie, so each shepherd's pie is different. I often make Honey & Mustard glazed gammon, so the shepherd's pie comes out porky-mustardy-honeyish. Same with chinese spare ribs, that sauce gives the shepherd's pie a oriental twist.
I use chicken gravy to put in a chicken risotto the next day, with the leftover chicken of course.
