Green Bay Drops Game One at Youngstown State 4-2
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
CANFIELD, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay softball team rallied with a pair of late-inning runs, but could not overcome a 4-0 deficit as the visiting Phoenix (10-20, 3-7 HL) fell 4-2 at Youngstown State (12-19, 6-7 HL) Saturday afternoon at McCune Park.
The Phoenix and the Penguins were originally slated to play two games on Saturday, but cold weather and wind chills forced the teams to wrap up the three-game series with a doubleheader on Sunday, beginning at 11 a.m. CT.
Youngstown State built a 4-0 lead through five innings, scoring once in the second, once in the third and twice in the fifth. Senior Sarah Gabel went 2-for-2 and crossed the plate twice for the Penguins, while freshman Miranda Castiglione hit a two-run home run in home half of the fifth.
The Phoenix got on the board in the top of the sixth inning when freshman Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) belted a solo homer of her own, her third of the year, cutting the YSU lead to 4-1. Green Bay made it 4-2 in the seventh when junior Stacey Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) singled up the middle to drive in freshman Alyssa Johnson (Elmhurst, Ill.), but the Phoenix would not get any closer.
Casey Crozier (11-6) earned the win for YSU, pitching five scoreless innings while allowing just three hits and striking out seven. Senior Allison Goecks (Beloit, Wis.) (5-7) pitched all six innings for the Phoenix, striking out six batters and giving up six hits.

Nova-Kem CEO Apologizes to Seward Residents For June Explosion
SEWARD--Three months after a chemical explosion rocked the small town of Seward, more than 100 residents packed the Seward School gym to ask questions about what happened.
"I don't think any of us residents knew the dangerous type of chemicals that were being dealt there," said Sandi Milburn, a lifelong resident
Nova-Kem CEO Reno Novak apologized to residents for the explosion and the inconvienence of being evacuated from their homes for nearly two full days.
"It was a bad day for everyone," Novak told the crowd.
However, he tried to explain how the dangerous chemicals at the plant were.
"Dangerous is a relative word. is gasoline dangerous? Sure it is, under the wrong conditions," said Novak, who noted his involvement with the community by keeping a house just a few miles up the road in Pecatonica. "There (were) no harmful effects that we've been able to detect within the facility and the surrounding area."
Novak says his company is cooperating with state authorities and the Illinois EPA and the Attorney General's office are both expected to be on hand for the next meeting scheduled for September 11th at the school.
"We filed a risk management plan and an emergency plan which notifies all the agencies here of what we were doing and what we had at the site," Novak said.
Right now, the site has been cleaned up as empty slabs of concrete sit were the burned out buildings used to be. The company has yet to commit on rebuilding. If Nova-Kem does, rebuilding a relationship with Seward residents won't be easy.
"I'm sure they're going to try to make it right," said Karen Eickman. "I just hope they make it, right so that everything is safe."
"I really do not want them to set up operations in Seward Township," Milburn said.

One of the newest course offerings over at Family Tree University is an eight-week master class designed to help you make progress, step by step, on writing a family history book or personal memoir.
In the first half of Write Your Family History, you'll craft an outline for your book and start putting your family's legacy down on paper. The second half of the course is a workshop, in which you'll share your writing with instructor and professional writer Sunny McClellan Morton, and receive feedback on how to move forward.
The Write Your Family History master class starts Jan. 17, and you can use coupon code FTU114 for 20 percent off your registration and a free 2011 desk calendar.
Here's an excerpt on gathering and organizing your thoughts:
One of the most important habits you can cultivate as a personal or family historian is keeping a journal. Chances are you already keep one or have in the past; many writers do so almost instinctively. If you aren't in the habit of recording your personal thoughts, now's the time to make journaling a part of your routine.
Use whatever style suits you for writing your journal—you're the only one who will see what you write. Any scrap of memory or personal impression may become important later, so just get everything down now and worry about sorting it all out when the time comes.
When you start thinking about writing a memoir or family history, it's natural to feel overwhelmed—so many colorful characters, inspiring stories, and dates and places to keep straight. You'll need to make some choices, perhaps difficult ones, about what will and won't fit into your book. Before you begin writing, it's important to devise a plan to organize your ideas and the information you'll be gathering as you complete your research.
We suggest you start by filling in the beginning and ending dates of your book, so you have the boundaries of your complete dateline. Then associate an event with each date. Use only a few key words or a phrase to denote each event—just enough to jog your memory when you refer to the dateline later.
After you've filled in as many dates and events as you can at this point, go back and determine the historical theme relevant to each event. The historical theme is crucial to your story; it will help place your "characters" into historical perspective.
Here are two examples of personal events with their historical themes:
Date: 3 June 1907
Event: Eleanor arrives alone at Ellis Island.
Historical theme: What was it like for a woman to go through processing at Ellis Island on her own?
Date: 25 Apr 1920
Event: Uncle Harry moves to Florida and buys land.
Historical theme: What drew people to Florida in the 1920s?

I came across an article about a book you might be interested in, especially if your ancestors were African slaves or involved in the slave trade.
Between 1492 and about 1820, four enslaved Africans left the Old World for every European migrant. According to Atlas of the Transatlantic Slave Trade by David Eltis and David Richardson, we know more about this forced migration than about European migration during the time. That's because the slave trade generated profits, which usually meant record-keeping.
The book is based in part on the data in the online Transatlantic Slave Trade Database, which Eltis co-edited, containing information on 35,000 slave voyages from Africa to the Americas. (Read our post about the database's online debut in 2008.)
Detailed maps in the book show how almost every port in the Atlantic world at the time organized and sent out a slave voyage. Almost half of those voyages came from ports in the Americas.
The data let the authors determine trading patterns, for example, the United States drew more slaves from the area of Senegambia south to Liberia (on Africa's west coast) than did any other part of the Americas.
The authors also found the slave trade was going strong at the time it was finally suppressed.
The book also gives you a more personal look at the trade with information about people and conditions on board the ships, as well as writings from and images of a few passengers. You can read more about it in the article here, and find it listed on Amazon.com here.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Tower Of Power
Tower of Power played regularly in the Bay Area throughout the late '60s, as their lineup often swelled up to ten members, including such other mainstays as Greg Adams on trumpet and vocals, Lenny Pickett on sax, and Rocco Prestia on bass. By 1970, the funk outfit had inked a recording contract with Bill Graham's San Francisco Records, resulting in the group's debut the same year, East Bay Grease, which failed to make an impression on the charts as Tower of Power were still trying to find their own sound.
But it soon came together for the group, as 1972's Bump City would touch off a string of classic hit albums, including 1973's self-titled release (which introduced vocalist Lenny Williams and included another of the group's most enduring tunes, "What Is Hip?"), 1974's Back to Oakland, and 1975's Urban Renewal and In the Slot. While Tower of Power remained a must-see live act, as disco became the new trend in R&B the group's original funk-laden style fell out of favor, and disco-oriented albums like 1978's We Came to Play and 1979's Back on the Streets didn't please critics or fans, and the band would go nine years without releasing an album.
Despite it all, Tower of Power -- in particular their horn section -- remained a much in-demand backing group for some of pop/rock's biggest names, including Elton John, Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Huey Lewis, Little Feat, David Sanborn, Michelle Shocked, Paula Abdul, Aaron Neville, Aerosmith, Public Image Ltd., and many others. In 1988, Tower of Power returned to the studio for the album Power, and in 1991 they signed with Epic Records, where they released five albums by the end of the decade.
Into the new millennium, Tower of Power kept up their reputation as a strong live band, maintaining a steady touring schedule, and in 2009 they launched their own TOP Records label with The Great American Soulbook, in which they covered a dozen soul and R&B classics in the trademark Tower of Power style. In 2007, Tower of Power celebrated their fourth decade together with a special concert at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium, and a year later the show was issued in a special CD/DVD package, simply titled 40th Anniversary. In 2013, Tower of Power took a look back with the release of Hipper Than Hip: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow, which documented a live radio broadcast from 1974. The bandmembers also announced they would be touring in 2013 and 2014 with two other iconic acts from Northern California, Journey and the Steve Miller Band. ~ Greg Prato & Steve Leggett

I thought I'd share with you guys the work I've done so far on my Boba Fett Mystery helmet, which I acquired from SgtFang in December last year. Here's how it looks like out of the box:
Here's a pic of the ear pieces and rangefinder:
The kit didn't come with any rangefinder stalk so I got mine from BKBT. His is cold cast aluminum:
The lid was very cleanly cast so I just cut out the visor and keyslot holes, sanded it down and cleaned it with warm soapy water. I also gave it a good wipe of acetone to get rid of any residual mold release.
I then primed it with Krylon Grey primer. And then left it on a shelf gathering dust for over half a year.
Two months back, I saw the preview pics of the upcoming MR Boba Fett LE/SE helmet Jez posted here and was suddenly inspired to start the paintwork on my lid. I had done some research here on TDH on the types of paint to use, particularly Lee's suggested paint scheme. I couldn't find the recommended paints here in Malaysia so I opted for an assortment of Tamiya spray paint cans and acrylic paints instead.
I've never done complex weathering like this before so I was kinda nervous. Lucky for me, Superjedi had posted a step by step weathering tutorial here on TDH so I used that as a guideline (thanks, Eric!).
First I masked off the helmet rim, the mandible edges and the keyslots (a lot of masking tape was sacrified during this entire procedure, and many more will share that fate ;D) and painted the whole lid with Tamiya Olive Drab spray paint. As for the back portion of the helmet, I painted it with Tan, then stencilled on the "fjords of Norway" weathering details with a pencil which I then covered with some masking fluid. Once the fluid dried, I sprayed on Tamiya Dark Green. A few hours later I peeled off the dried fluid and voila!... the first level of weathering on the back is done.
The cheeks were painted with Flat Black and then the final major color application, i.e. the Dull Red on the rims, mandible edges and key slots was painted on. Boba is starting to surface! :happy
Here's the progress so far:
View of the front, all major colors applied:
Side view, showing the contrast between the Olive Drab of the dome and the dark green at the back:
"Fjords" weathering on the left side of the helmet back:
And the right (you can see the pencil marks!):
I masked the killstripes (14 for ESB), added masking fluid for the weathering details and then painted them Camel Yellow.
I then weathered the helmet stage by stage based on Superjedi's pics. A bit here and there day by day. I used different brush sizes, some toothpicks and crumpled tissue paper ends for the nicks and scratches and different types of paint, ranging from gun metal, silver and german grey (for the scorching). Two months later, the painting/weathering of the helmet is more or less done.
Here's the where it is now:
Last night I painted the ear pieces and the rangefinder stalk:
I still need to figure how to attach the stalk to the helmet. Any ideas? And I'm still on the lookout for a dark green visor (can't seem to find any here). Once all the parts are attached, I'll give the whole helmet a good grimming.


text: I'm not talking about skills, but just their resumes. Cohen, despite her tendency to fall, was one of the most naturally talented and beautiful skaters ever. Her legacy is solidified despite having a sub-par record (when compared to most all-time greats), and from 2002-2006 she was always a contender for the podium, something which wasn't really true for Fumie. With that said, if we cast aside both skills and expectations, and look simply at the results, their careers are pretty evenly matched imo. Fumie: 2004 Grand Prix Final Champion 3 x World Championship Medalist 3 x 4 Continents Champion 5 x Japanese National Champion Bronze medalist at 2002 Goodwill Games Placed 5th at 02 Olympics and 4th at 06 Olympics In addition she's medaled at 12 Grand Prix events Sasha: 2006 Olympic silver medalist 3 x World Championship Medalist 2006 US National Champion She medaled at 8 Grand Prix events Sasha has an Olympic silver medal which is an obvious edge on Fumie. However, some people thought Sasha was overscored at the 2006 Olympics with her multiple falls while Fumie's clean skate deserved a Bronze. In every other regard, Fumie either matches or surpasses Sasha's record: they both have the same # of world medals, Fumie has far more national titles, grand prix medals and is a 3 x 4 Continents champion (which Sasha never competed in). Fumie also has a bronze at the Goodwill Games while Sasha only achieved 4th place there. Does Sasha's Olympic medal compensate for all of that and put her on top?

Who is eligible and who can apply?
If you have a job or if you have private health insurance, you can still apply for WIC. You do not have to be married to apply for WIC.
For more eligibility requirements, see below.
Fathers of children under the age of 5 are encouraged to enroll their children in the WIC program. Just like any other parent or guardian, fathers can bring their children to appointments, attend nutrition classes, and receive and redeem benefits for their children. Active participation by fathers is a great help in keeping WIC children healthy.
Meet the income guidelines. Households with incomes at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty income level are eligible. WIC determines income based on gross income. WIC counts all of the members of a household, related or unrelated. WIC counts an unborn baby as a household member. Click to view Income Eligibility Guidelines (45K, PDF).
Be at nutritional risk. WIC clients receive an initial health and diet screening at a WIC clinic to determine nutritional risk. WIC uses two main categories of nutritional risk: (1) medically-based risks such as a history of poor pregnancy outcome, underweight status, or iron-deficiency anemia, and (2) diet-based risks such as poor eating habits that can lead to poor nutritional and health status. Clients will be counseled at WIC about these risks and the outcome influenced by nutrition education and nutritious foods provided by WIC.
Live in Texas. WIC clients usually receive services in the county where they live. U.S. citizenship is not a requirement for eligibility.
Clients must apply in person except in certain limited cases.
Return to top of page
WIC provides nutrition education, nutritious foods, referrals to health and human services and breastfeeding support. Food benefits are issued for each client. Both fathers and mothers can receive and spend the benefits for their children.
Clients receive individual nutrition counseling and nutrition classes. Many clinics offer classes especially for children. Men who have family members participating in the program are welcome to attend nutrition classes.
Some of the topics clients can learn about:
Clients receive encouragement and instruction in breastfeeding. In many cases, breastfeeding women are provided breast pumps free of charge. WIC helps clients learn why breastfeeding is the best start for their baby, how to breastfeed while still working, Dad's role in supporting breastfeeding, tips for teens who breastfeed, how to pump and store breastmilk, and much more.
WIC provides benefits each month which are taken to grocery stores and used to buy nutritious foods. WIC foods include iron-fortified infant formula and infant cereal, iron-fortified adult cereal, vitamin C–rich fruit and vegetable juice, milk, eggs, cheese, beans, and peanut butter. Different food packages are issued to different clients. For example, mothers who are totally breastfeeding their babies without formula are issued tuna and carrots in addition to other foods.
WIC refers clients to a variety of health and social services agencies and programs. WIC staff can help clients find these services. Some examples are:
Return to top of page
Some WIC clinics also provide vouchers for clients to shop at farmers' markets to buy fresh vegetables and fruits — usually during the spring and summer months. This service is not available statewide, due to limited funding.
Studies show that WIC plays an important role in improving birth outcomes and containing health-care costs. WIC has a positive impact on children's diets. WIC improves infant-feeding practices by actively promoting breastfeeding as the best method of feeding infants. WIC clients have improved rates of childhood immunizations and a regular source of health care.

The growth illusion
Even worse is what's happening across the Channel. I, for one, am exceedingly glad that the UK did not join the Euro, which appears to be intent on blowing itself apart with an explosive mixture of market panic, economic mismanagement (by everyone, not just Greeks) and political inertia.
And then there's the US, with chronically high unemployment, welfare and healthcare systems that are very expensive and frankly unfit for purpose, a defunct housing market and debt that if stacked up could reach the moon - and a total lack of political will to deal effectively with any of this.
And then there's Japan....how long has that been bumping along the bottom now? Still paying the price for a housing bubble collapse and banking crisis two decades ago, not to mention recent natural disasters and an ongoing nuclear standoff.
And then there's China, which seems well-placed to become the overlord of the world - if it doesn't fall apart in a subprime crisis of its own first......
And then there's Switzerland, whose economy is being systematically crippled by scared investors moving their money to what they regard as a "safe haven". The SNB's attempt to deal with this by pegging the currency has effectively made tiny Switzerland the world's banker. Well, I suppose I can think of worse things for a country to be, but if and when they remove that peg, heaven help their economy....
I could go on, and on, and on....there are many, many more. The whole world is in an economic crisis.
On the face of it, the problems faced by all these countries look very different, don't they? But actually they all boil down to the same things. Political deadlocks, market panic, and above all - the dominance of economic theories that put the interests of international money ahead of the needs of ordinary people and ignore the real issues facing the world today.
Any economic theory that does not have the interests of PEOPLE at its heart is morally bankrupt. And by PEOPLE I don't mean the moneyed elite that play the international casinos. I mean ordinary people living ordinary lives, doing ordinary jobs for ordinary wages - bank clerks (yes, really), shop assistants, garage mechanics. I mean owners of very small businesses like mine, sole traders and little companies - corner shops, plumbers, peripatetic music teachers. I mean elderly people trying to live on a pension that diminishes day by day as inflation outstrips interest on savings. I mean single mothers trying to be both loving carer and adequate provider to their children as their benefits are cut and they are charged for trying to obtain maintenance from their runaway spouses. I mean young people leaving college in debt with little prospect of any decent job in the forseeable future.
I'm sure most readers of my blog would agree with me that we need an economic theory that really addresses the needs of these, and many other, people. The trouble is we don't agree on what that theory should contain. On one side we have those who believe that the way to prosperity is ramping up public debt (since interest rates are very low) to invest in public works, expanding the public sector hugely in order to develop essential infrastructure. On the other side we have those who believe that the way to prosperity is to cut the public sector brutally to allow the private sector into the gap that is left, because the private sector is a better source of innovation. I wish that both sides could see that they want the same thing, but they don't agree on how to get there - and they waste a lot of time and energy insulting each other rather than trying to achieve a compromise that honours the respective roles of both private and public sector.
For me, though - and I know I've said this before - if there are endless debates that degenerate into slanging matches and solve nothing, both sides are missing something important. Here's what I think the missing issue is: both sides anticipate a return to growth some time soon. But I think they are wrong.
We have lived for a century or more in the belief that prosperity comes through economic growth. And indeed, economic growth in the developed world has been astronomical in the last hundred years. We see the benefits in our comfortable lifestyles - and now, understandably, countries whose development has lagged behind want a piece of the action too. To support the lifestyle that we come to enjoy and enable other countries to have that too, the world economy has to grow - and maintain growth - at an unprecedented rate.
But the growth rates of the last century have been achieved through use of a finite resource. I mean oil, of course. And there is no doubt that we have nearly exhausted the known reserves of oil, but our global demand for oil is higher than ever before.
Now don't get me wrong. I am not playing the environmentalists' "economic catastrophe" card. I don't think the world running low on oil will mean all the lights will go out and we will return to living in caves. I am constantly amazed by the ingenuity of humans, and I have no doubt that solutions will be found to substitute for the crucial role that oil has hitherto played in the global economy. But it won't be quick, and it won't be cheap. And above all, it won't enable ANYONE for the foreseeable future to have the sort of economic growth that we have come to rely on.
So any economic plan that aims to restore the sort of economic growth we have had in the past is fundamentally flawed. And any political manifesto that claims that growth will sort out our financial and economic problems and restore the "good times" is dishonest. So I oppose "Keynsian" stimulus packages, whoever proposes them and whatever name they go under, if they involve more public borrowing. We cannot expect to have the sort of growth that will reduce that debt in the future, and although interest rates are very low at the present, there is no reason to suppose they will still be at that level in five years time. Yes, sovereign countries could print money instead of borrowing. But the relationship of money printing to inflation is well known, and although I suppose it is theoretically possible to manage the production of money so tightly that the inflation risk is minimal, I have no confidence in the ability of politicians to resist the temptation to interfere with this discipline in the interests of buying votes.
On the other hand, there is no doubt that people are suffering from our economic decline, and I don't see any prospect of this improving in the short term. I believe it is the job of government to support those who are the undeserving casualties of economic difficulties. Yet almost all the countries I have mentioned above are currently implementing spending cuts which hurt the most vulnerable in society. To me this is uncivilised. I don't want to live in a society that can't or won't help those who are unable to provide for themselves. And therefore, I don't support cuts in the public spending programmes that support the weakest. We are not so poor that we can't afford to care. Now, it is possible that providing people with the support they need to survive the next few years might require an increase in public spending in some areas, and that might involve additional borrowing. But I personally would regard that as money well spent.
What I DON'T want to see government doing is spending money - whether obtained through taxation, borrowing or printing - to prop up failed companies, build white elephants, host expensive flagship events, develop vast IT systems that are cancelled before they are implemented, or provide finance to high-risk small businesses that no commercial bank would lend money to (as Samuel Brittan suggested in the FT the other day). Or to set up a very expensive, monolithic and clunky state banking system, when all that is needed to provide essential banking services in the event of major clearing bank failure is a basic electronic payments facility and emergency lines of credit. And personally I don't even want government involvement in the development of green technology and replacements for oil - although I accept there is a role for government in financing R&D and very large infrastructure projects - because I think the private sector does that kind of innovative work much better. I'd rather government focused on providing essential services to support people. Because for me, that's what the public sector does best.
If I am right about the future facing us, then there are implications for our lifestyles. Will commuting become a thing of the past, replaced with homeworking, networking and electronic conferencing? Will schools and universities become centres of virtual learning, with students based at home (with homeworking parents?) and participating in on-line lessons delivered in real time? Will we see a return to shops within walking distance of people's homes and vibrant local high streets, replacing large out-of-town shopping centres only accessible by car?
Perhaps, when we can no longer rely on oil as we have done, it will force us to think more locally, to engage with our local communities and build prosperity through real economic activity from the grass roots up. And surely that is the best way of achieving a positive, prosperous future.

The fancy economy and the never-ending growth of anything humans dreamt up was doomed the minute a fool said it was a clever idea and humans should do it..ReplyDelete
Dabbling in economics for a hobby is where you went wrong. Economists understand nothing of the world. Nothing. It is not a well-read, field with breadth.
Amazing what you learn in a library. Amazing. Guns Germs and Steel. Throw out everything you think you know and read that.
Thank you for ignoring my section of the community. That's what economics people always do, the right-wingers among you in particular. Middle-aged unemployed people do not exist. Sums up the world of business, finance and economics; clothese for children, teenagers and pensioners despite the middle-aged not being prepared to wear dowdy clothes, gran-glitter clothes, or teenage hipster jeans.
Blinkered, ignorant, nonsense.
Your comment is a little confused. Having agreed with me that never-ending growth is dead in the water, you then criticise me for "dabbling in economics" and tell me to go to a library and read something else. Did you really intend your comment as constructive criticism, or were you just having a rant?
I understand how you feel about being "invisible" - I am middle-aged myself, and I can't wear those clothes either. But if I listed all the sections of society who suffer in times of economic hardship this blog would be very, very long. I gave a random selection which unfortunately didn't include you. That doesn't mean I'm ignoring your sector in society.
Does your final line refer to my writing or to economics generally? Either way, it's not constructive. I'm happy to take constructive criticism of my writing, and as you made some comments that required answer I'm leaving your comment in. However, if that last line had been your only comment I would have deleted it. I don't feed trolls.

It's not just shops which need to be within walking distance. Add libraries, schools and medical facilities to the list.ReplyDelete
The decline or flat-lining of global oil extraction and consumption (no, it's not production) affects the UK in several ways.
North Sea oil "production" (errm, extraction) is declining at a rate of seven to eight percent per annum. That means we have less oil to export and need to import more, which will ultimately impact on our balance of payments situation. The trade deficit is conveniently ignored by our politicians, but will become increasingly problematic in a growth-constrained environment.
The challenge is to come up with a Rooseveltian "New Deal" which would work within our current physical and ecological constraints. FDR had it easy compared to us.
Very interesting and, for once, I can follow to the end an article devoted to economics. Surprised myself. Wonder though if you ever sleep.ReplyDelete
As always your posts manage to put a touch of reality in the world. This post for me has been like a lightbulb, realising that I should be planning for the new world not trying to hang onto the old one, both in my business and personal life.ReplyDelete

Particularly agree with caution on infrastructure spending and govt green economy points.ReplyDelete
We have to prepare for higher interest rates and I also agree that growth will be elusive for a while.
A very depressing post in someways, things can look bad at night but thrust is good.
Govt should prepare to help the unfortunate. AND NOT WASTE MONEY
It feels like 1939; the edge of monumental change that will have far-reaching effects, to be followed by years of austerity and rationing, stretching into the distant future and many millions of people becoming casualties of man's greed and stupidity.ReplyDelete
I grew up in the 1950s. I don't relish going back.
Good diagnosis. The relationship between real and money economy is a key issue. But I am sorry to have to say I don't fully agree with your treatment plan. I set out my reasons but fumblefingered and lost it & can't be bothered because it is hot and I need another drink.ReplyDelete

Economic theory was supposed to be about maximizing an objective (e.g. our welfare) subject to constraints (resource limitations).ReplyDelete
We have a democratic problem when peoples' interests are excluded from what economists are asked to seek and maximize or minimize. We are now facing this in Greece - the lives and hopes of our children don't seem to matter anymore.
The risks to the creditors is minimized while the welfare of ordinary Europeans are viewed only in terms of (political) costs.
Economic growth, like efficiency, is a theoretic concept that cannot be divorced from peoples' welfare. But somehow it has.
No matter how many people it takes to make a square-wheel car, it is not efficient. Why? Because people don't want them.
So think of Growth not as a level but in terms of what should or not be included in the statistic. Are they the things that we want? It is not the job of the economist to tell you what you want.
Following two years of uneven recovery from the global financial crisis, the world economy is teetering on the brink of another major downturn. The Eurozone and UK will each face another recession in 2012. But, I believe that coping to this issue should begin to oneself believing that it will go back to normal.ReplyDelete

When taking a first glance at the Canisius basketball roster, it's easy for the experience of the upperclassmen to jump off the page. There are three seniors with 88 or more games played and three juniors with at least 55 games played.
With all of that on-court experience has developed the confidence to be the leaders. It is a process that started following last season, developed throughout the summer and carried into preseason practices.
"I feel like the veterans, especially this senior group, has really taken a leadership role in the big picture. They really understand the responsibility of becoming a veteran," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "Now, they really want to make a difference on the basketball court. Their ability to relate to all the different classes has really helped us."
The Golden Griffins are looking for that team cohesion to carry over to the basketball court. The team finished with 12 wins last year and in a tie for sixth place in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Now the challenge comes for the leaders of this team, the senior class who has been model citizens off the court, to find that same level of achievement on the court.
"We haven't had the team success that we have wanted the past couple of years. We have talked a lot with our seniors about how do you want to finish this off," Zeh said. "Do you want to finish this off just as a great group of young women who does everything that Canisius wants off the court? Or do you want to have some other basketball legacy?
"They were very interested in that."
That experience also makes it easy to look past the depth on the roster. With minor injuries to some of the more experienced players early in camp, younger players were forced into more prominent spots. At first, it showed.
But over the next couple of weeks, that experience proved to be beneficial. It gave Zeh and his staff the ability to evaluate the younger players and develop their roles. As the veterans returned to the practice courts, the depth that was developed during the month of October has started to really come through.
"I felt we weren't very deep for awhile because we had a bunch of people sitting out with injuries," Zeh said. "Now that they are all coming back, now we have a little bit of depth. That has definitely come back in the past few weeks."
Junior Kayla Hoohuli
Ashley Durham led the team in scoring last season and became the first Golden Griffin to be named to the All-MAAC First Team. The Griffs have three guards who saw a lot of playing time last year in senior Jen Morabito, junior Kayla Hoohuli and sophomore Tiahana Mills.
Morabito and Hoohuli each enter the season with more than 100 career 3-pointers. Mills brings a year of experience as the starting point guard and also has a very capable backup in junior Brooke Angelos. Adding in the newcomers, along with the recent of emergence of sophomore Emily Weber, gives Canisius experienced depth and talent pushing for the rest of the minutes.
Jen Morabito, Sr • 31 gp, 5.5 ppg, 47 3-pointers, 37.9 3-pt FG pct
"Her ability to shoot the basketball really stretches the defense. We need to utilize that because it gives us bigger spaces on the floor to run the offense."
Kayla Hoohuli, Jr • 31 gp, 6.8 ppg, 45 3-pointers, 30 steals
"We need Kayla to score in a variety of ways. She can get to the basket, shoot 3-pointers and get her pull-up jumper. Kayla has done a great job of reading screens and is one of our best defensive guards."
Brooke Angelos, Jr • 29 gp, 2.2 ppg, 67 assists
"Brooke's speed and floor vision is really good for us with our offensive concepts. The more comfortable Brooke and everyone gets at playing at the same pace, the better we are. She has been great with getting the young players in spots defensively and helping them through practice."
Royce Shields, Jr • Highland Community College
"Royce gives us an added perimeter defender. As she adjusts to the Division I pace, we look forward to her getting to the basket."
Tiahana Mills, So • 28 gp, 4.1 ppg, 72 assists
"Tiahana's growth on and off the court has been great for the team. As the starting point guard,, people are looking to her for leadership. Tiahana is providing a lot of positive feedback and instruction. She also has been shooting the ball really well."
Emily Weber, So • 6 gp, 0.7 ppg
"Emily's transformation has been a pleasant surprise. She has learned how to utilize her skills in game situations."
Tamara Miskovic, Fr • Zarko Zrenjanin
"Tamara is probably the best passer on our team. She makes other players better by getting them easy shots where they can score. Tamara is tremendous in pick-and-roll situations."
Lauren D'Hont, Fr • Pittsford Mendon
"Lauren is a multi-faceted player who gives us the ability to play a lot of different combinations because she plays a lot of positions. She is smart and understands the game thoroughly."
Senior Jen Lennox
Canisius lost a starting frontcourt player in Ashley Wilkes and also a guard/forward in senior Allison Braun. There is a lot of experienced depth in the Canisius frontcourt, starting with three players — Jen Lennox, Jamie Ruttle and Courtney VandeBovenkamp — who are entering their fourth season as a Golden Griffin. The Griffs also have three players to compliment those three Canadians, including a potential breakout sophomore in Crystal Porter.
Jamie Ruttle, Sr • 30 gp, 8.8 ppg, 4.7 rpg
"Jamie is going to be our prime scoring threat. We have put things offensively to get her catches at all spots on the floor. With her athletic ability, that can make it difficult to guard her. As a team, we will learn how to do that and Jamie will as well."
Jen Lennox, Sr • 29 gp, 4.4 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 33 blocks
"Jen is one of the most improved players. Her senior mentality is coming through strong. She was practicing unbelievable and then missed two weeks with an injury. We are excited for her to progress back and see great things from her."
Courtney VandeBovenkamp, R-Jr • 25 gp, 4.4 ppg, 3.9 rpg
"Courtney has looked good in early practices. She re-injured her knee early in the preseason and was just recently cleared to play. With her personality, it doesn't take Court long to adjust to the intensity."
Crystal Porter, So • 24 gp, 2.7 ppg, 1.9 rpg
"Crystal's transition from freshman to sophomore year has been awesome. We rely on her to rebound the basketball and defending the good athletes on other teams. Her understanding of our offense gets better each practice, and Crystal can really create her own shot."
Jasmine Mungo, So • 5 gp, 0.8 ppg
"Jasmine provides great intensity on a daily basis. She really helps create a positive practice atmosphere and continues to develop her skills and scoring ability."
Laniere Coleman, Fr • Lake Mary
"Laniere gives us a strong inside post presence. She has a wonderful touch around the basket and is willing to really battle in the post."

Howdy all
First off I have not been here since 2002-03. I think my login got deactivated. Its looks like the community has grown since then.
Well my dented helmet & armor has been sitting in my closet for 6 years now. I haven't worn it since until last night, when I took pictures. Anyhow I am planning to sell my costume on eBay.
One question, Is Richie's armor still around? That's where my stuff came from. I can imagine there's other fett-makers now. Its been so long since I was doing this hobby. If your wondering why, nothing really. Just busy with work, marriage and kid coming soon. Whatever I sell, will go to a new crib & stroller hopefully. Still love the Fett and my costume items but I need to make room. I hate to see my gear collect dust. Plus it be nice to help another person who wants to own there own dented helmet & armor.
PS - I am a size 8 for my Fett shoes. I stand 5'7. My waist size is about 35-36. 38 is the size of the suit.
Just added a video that I will be adding to my ebay auction:

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Attendees included professionals in the areas of law enforcement, medicine, dentistry, counseling, and mental health. Many pastors and leaders from local churches also attended the conference.
Multnomah staff and faculty John McKendricks and Allen Battle presented information at the conference along with FBI agent Lynette Short and Melissa Holland, executive director of Awaken and a practicing counselor in Reno.
The conference consisted of two sessions. The first session provided an introduction to the problem of sex trafficking with a focus on the impact it is having on the Reno area. The second session primarily featured information provided by Lynette Short, an FBI expert on local sex trafficking.
Multnomah students were so moved by the information presented that they committed to raise $18,000 to contribute to Awaken, a Reno-based organization committed to restoring victims of sexual exploitation. Some students plan to volunteer for the organization. One has decided to join the Political Action Committee of Awaken after classes adjourn for the summer.
Multnomah will continue to offer training to people involved in hands-on outreach to people escaping the sex traffic industry, and will aid Awaken in their pursuit to establish a residential safe house for escapees.
"The Sex Trafficking conference at Multnomah Reno-Tahoe was a great success," said Multnomah faculty member Allen Battle. "Multnomah is proving to be a strong force for unity among local churches. The information provided to Christians in the Reno-Sparks area will be used as a powerful tool to alleviate the suffering caused by sex-trafficking in our community. Many of the attendees have committed to participating in various capacities to advance this ministry."
"Missions week was inspiring," said Matthew Comprix, a student at Multnomah Reno-Tahoe. "It not only opened my eyes to issues in the broader world, it also opened my eyes to the issues here where I live. It also inspired my wife and I to take action. As one person I may not be able to solve the world's problems, but together we can make a difference."
"Through the process of getting involved I was made aware of Awaken and we are now on the fund-raising team, making a difference fighting sexual exploitation locally, in our community," Comprix added.
For more information about Multnomah Reno-Tahoe and efforts to battle against sex trafficking in the Reno community, please contact John McKendricks at 775.849.4983 or email@example.com.
Multnomah University is a fully accredited, private, non-denominational, Christian institution of higher education, located in Portland, Oregon with teaching sites in Reno, Nevada and Anchorage, Alaska. Made up of anundergraduate Bible college, a biblical seminary, graduate programs, an adult degree completion program, and an online distance-learning program, Multnomah issues bachelor's and master's degrees, and professional certifications and endorsements.

More Molestation Charges for Foster Parent
SOQUEL, Calif. - Santa Cruz Sheriff detectives announced Tuesday they found another victim of former foster parent Steven Weissman.
The first reports of molestation of a 14 year old came in August of last year.
The 57 year old Weissman was arrested for this case and two other similar cases that were being investigated at the time.
Last Friday, detectives identified another victim of Weissman's from June of last year and charged him again with molestation in that case.
Weissman was a foster parent for 16 years and was involved with many community youth programs and activities. He also volunteered at local elementary schools.
Detectives believe there still could be other victims in the community and are urging people to call (831) 454-2311 if they have any more information regarding Weissman.

Producing Dinner Ware
Posted 14 August 2012 - 10:10 AM
1. How many of you successfully produce and sell dinnerware?
2. What price do you sell a place setting for?
3. Do you see demand going up or down?
4. Do you get pull-through for other pieces because they bought the dinnerware - like serving bowls, pitchers, etc.
5. Are your customers buying for themsevles or for a major gift?
6. Are you using any creative marketing techniques specific to dinnerware?
I hope we can get a lively discussion going on this topic.
Posted 14 August 2012 - 10:17 AM
I just finished reading an old thread on Clay Art where there was a very spirited discussion on plate setters. In the end, it appears that the consensus was they make a great deal of sense. In fact, John Baymore had a couple of great posts on the subject that would really be worth reposting here if he is so inclined.
I plan to buy both the round and square Cone 11 setters and so far, Bailey looks like the best place to get them - even though they are all the way on the other side of the country. If any one knows a supplier of the type of plate setters like Bailey sells on the west coast, I would really appreciate the name(s).
Please share any ideas not only on the plate setters but on what you have learned works and what doesn't in regards to producing successful dinnerware.
Posted 14 August 2012 - 10:59 AM
but ... my experience in looking for them, tells me that not many potters are producing reasonably priced dinnerware sets. Or, if they are, they are not marketing them very well.
I've often looked for online for dinnerware and serving pieces to give as wedding gifts and its amazing how few potters promote "Gift Registries" or "Wedding Registries" which I think of as a 'no brainer' marketing wise. Michael Obranovich ( http://www.obranovich.com ) promotes this very well and has landed all of our family/friends weddings. Its easy to order, reasonably priced and has always been shipped on time with no breakage. The brides who received the work as shower gifts added them to their wish list for wedding gifts.
So you might say ...Chris why are you shopping online instead of going to nearby studios/galleries etc etc ... Guilty!!
But ... I don't always have all day to spend looking for the right piece.
Another reason why you should have a great website and sell from it if supporting yourself with your pottery is your goal.

I make and sell a lot of dinnerware, though it's still a small percentage of my overall output. I generally bring a stack of dinner plates and salad plates to every show, and sell most of them. Also, some of my galleries order quite a lot of it, I think they must specialize in tableware.
2. What price do you sell a place setting for?
Dinner plate $30, salad plate $22, small 4" square dipping bowl (for sushi) $10.
3. Do you see demand going up or down?
Neither, pretty steady.
4. Do you get pull-through for other pieces because they bought the dinnerware - like serving bowls, pitchers, etc.
5. Are your customers buying for themsevles or for a major gift?
Usually for themselves.
6. Are you using any creative marketing techniques specific to dinnerware?
Like Chris said, wedding registries are a gold mine. I haven't done one in a few years, but would gladly do more. I say it's "like a wholesale order with no discount." Registries are pretty much guaranteed to sell out. You need to be in a social group where lots of people are getting married. Potters who do registries start with their kids' weddings, then their kids' friends. Then their nephew, then their nephew's friends. Etc.
Teresa Chang does a lot of registries ... check out her website: http://teresachang.com

How many of you successfully produce and sell dinnerware?
I do and have for over 35 years
What price do you sell a place setting for?
What's in a place setting as that has changed a lot over the years-
The old school was 4 pieces now it mostly 3 pieces and sometimes just two
I add about 15% to piece price to fire them all together to match in my reduction loads. Dinner plates-30$ salad 20$ at galleries from me less
3. Do you see demand going up or down?
I have seen a bit less thru shows and a bit more thru my outlets-People no longer want huge sets as in the distant past.
Often now they get plates then later the mugs or bowls.
At several shows I sell flatware to them then the next year other forms
4. Do you get pull-through for other pieces because they bought the dinnerware - like serving bowls, pitchers, etc.
5. Are your customers buying for themselves or for a major gift?
themselves only a few gifts over 35 years+
6. Are you using any creative marketing techniques specific to dinnerware?
I always have a stack of two color plates in salad and dinner size at all shows-I'm one of the few to do this so yes this marking tool works for me
As to things not asked-if a customer buys dinnerware they usually alway over time add to it. Other orders spin off when friends over use it and want some them selves
Having a stock on had always makes it sell better-having my outlets carry plates sometime produces an order but usually sell what they have on hand more than orders.I only do a few colors now as that is easier to stock for me all the time. I keep a stack of bisqued plates in both sizes ready to fire anytime. This has paid off big over time.
I keep a box of fired plates as well to grab as needed.

I think wedding/gift registries are a significant untapped resource and one of the reasons we picked Sedona for building our studio. They have 4000 weddings a year here! As part of our marketing plan, we will build out a registry on our web site as well as network /build relationships with the wedding planners and the concierges at the hotels.
In my research on excellent web sites, I found another one that really leverages a registry concept as well as does a great job of presenting his outstanding work. It is: http://www.waynebates.com/index.html

In fact, John Baymore had a couple of great posts on the subject that would really be worth reposting here if he is so inclined.
Red Rocks,
Thanks for the kind words there. I'd be glad to ressurect that posting here if you can give me a link to the location for the specific stuff you are talking about above.
I used to be very, very active on the CLAYART listserve..... so there is a lot in the old archives that I wrote "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away". I stopped being very involved there because of the bickering and off-topic crap that was flooding the list.
In fact, I chaired and was on a panel called "Computers in the Studio" at the 1984 (?) Boston NCECA conference in which I talked about the eventual use of online communications for stuff that evolved into things like the old Glazebase location and also Clayart. http://www.johnbaymo...om/page107.html http://www.johnbaymore.com/page80.html
So...... find me the links and I'll re-post it here in this thread.

Here is the link - you actually have two very good posts here.
Posted 18 August 2012 - 12:17 PM
First posting about "plate setters":
Hi. I've been using plate setters for about 23 years and have NO problems
with excessive warping. I woodfire stoneware to cone 10-ish and utilize
numerous claybodies. Without plate setters I'd be firing too many
refractories and not enough plates in a load. Plate setters allow nice
loading densities with flat forms.
Nothing inherent in good plate setters that will cause warping......
otherwise industry wouldn't have developed them . If the setter is
warped...... that is another story.....just like a warped kiln shelf.
Every now and then I chuck a worn out setter. BTW.... a "plate setter" can
simply be a smaller kiln shelf with three short posts set ont top of a
larger kiln shelf in a stack. I use a bunch of 12 inch x 12 inch x 3/8
inch shelves and 2 inch posts to set my rectangular sushi plates on in tall
Plate warping, in my experience, seems to stem from throwing or
handbuilding techniques, HANDLING of the pieces in process, drying
unevenness, or warped kiln shelves. Pyroplasticity (getting soft in the
kiln) CAN cause problems ........ but plate setters should support the foot
area enough so that this is not an issue.
Design of a piece CAN affect warping, and design concepts should always
extend to designing for the firing of the pieces. A very pyroplastic body
used to make a plate that is suspended on isolated projecting feet can
easily sag between the feet. This will warp on either a shelf OR a plate
This is also why things like "bone china" (exceptionally pyroplastic) are
high fired to develop the fluxed body in setters that are more like slump
molds without glaze, and then glaze fired at a lower temp.
Lee Love's and Ron Roy's comments on this were excellent.
Second posting:
Hi All.
Got a private email offlist that indicated that I was a little less than
clear with my last post on plate setters. So here is a copy of what I HOPE
is a clarification I have sent to that person....... bet I confused others here too. Sorry about that .
<Editing out the quotes I included in the original here>
Typically, a handcraft potter just utilizes a "normal" kiln shelf to set
plates on. This might be a 12 x 24 x 3/4 silicon carbide shelf with maybe
three 2" x 2" x 2" posts to support it. This shelf might only hold two 10"
dinner plates plus a couple of small low "fillers". The thermal mass of
this shelf / post combination is about 20 pounds of what will take totally
wasted heat energy to fire up. The same two plates can be placed on
individual plate setters that weigh only about 5 pounds (or less) each.
That is about a HUGE 50 percent savings in the heat energy utilized to fire
the SHELVES and POSTS ....not the ware. If you can "cram" three plates on
the normal shelf using a lot of overhang.... watch warping .........
this STILL represents at least a 25 percent savings in heat energy.
That is the main reason why someone would use plate setters.
This is also why modern (expensive) shelves like the Crystar and Advancer
are so nice. They are thinner and hence weigh much less than "traditional"
shelves for the same "span", yet are actually stronger than a "traditional"
shelf. Yes... they save a little space to stack more stuff in........
maybe 1/2" of height per shelf used......... but that is incidental to the
heat energy savings.
The big reason to use these if you can is the save your BACK.......... they
are SO thin and light!!!!! A true JOY!
Plate setters ALSO minimize your handling of so many larger kiln
shelves.... and therefore help your back too.
Next......... all of the thermal mass of large "normal" kiln shelves
stacked close together with layer after layer of plates causes a "lag" in
the penetration of the heat energy to the interior of all those shelves.
Cordierite and high alumina shelves are worse in this regard than silicon
carbide due to differences in thermal conductivity figures..... but all
shelves exhibit this tendency. If this isn't taken into account in the
firing schedule, it is possible to have defects and seconds caused by the
fact that the center of the stacking is not at what the witness cones SAY
the reat of the general kiln chamber is at. So not only do you have to
heat all those heavy refractories, you often have to lengthen the
firing...... which utilizes even MORE heat energy.
You can "open up" the height of the stacking on the "normal" shelves to
improve heat transfer by giving the plates a lot more clearance ...... but
that defeats the efficiency purpose even more.
A plate setter exposes the plate all along it's outer periphery to the
radiant heat energy bouncing around the kiln, so it fosters excellent
transfer to the center of each individual plate..... even though the
vertical clearance from one setter to the next is pretty darn
tight.....which saves space in the kiln. Plus...the setter each plate's
foot is sitting on is very thin and lightweight and doesn't take much heat
energy to "heat up". So there is less "thermal lag" in the stack of plates
on setters.
A plate setter can "get away" with being thin because it spans only a very
short horizontal distance and carries very little weight on that span.
They don't sag much because of this and remain flat for a LONG time. The
vertical "legs" line up directly one over the other and in compression can
support a lot of weight.... so they can easily be stacked in tall columns,
usually called "bungs" (after "bungs" of saggers.....haven't got a clue as
to the exact historical derrivation of THAT term ). Sometimes I will
fire "bungs" of plates on setters that are 3 feet tall. These tall stacks
go on the top of the general stacking, along with the other tallest pieces.
Hope this clarifies my last post.

I am going to let John B, Mark C and any others with direct results answer this question as they seem to have a lot of experience with them. I use to make a boatload of dinnerware, many moons ago and wish I knew about plate setters. They make total sense. Way more efficient for kiln space and I believe they will actually reduce warping because you are setting them on a "smaller shelf" if you will. I hope to close on a property here in Sedona soon and plate setters will definitely be a part of my startup order. For what it's worth, the research I have done on this subject has me leaning towards buying them from Bailey. I have heard Tacoma Arts and Highwater also carry them. I will be most interested to hear the recommendations we get here.

Not even thinking about setters shelves-as it's already a space saver with these super this shelves-they weigh 9#s empty so its a back saver as noted above.
They make them for electrics and they are spendy but will pay for themselves in time if you fire a lot or if dinnerware is what your are doing.Once you try one you will never go back.

The post above which is terrible looking was done in word then pasted up.
Then I went back in the edit mode of this website to change one word and this mess showed up.
Its not the 1st time this happened .I usually go thru it all and clean it all up but I left this to show what's happening-Its a pain in the butt-to say the least
I have gotten frustrated many times and just let the post go and cancel it all due to frustration.How many time must I log in? Usually 2 times to post two lines.
If I forget to save it all goes away
It will do it on both my macs-I could smart phone this if I wanted to go mad with small keyboard.
I would be happier if the powers that be redid this software to mesh with macs better-I get tired of constantly logging in as it logs me out in about 1 minute.
Its a battle for me that I'm losing slowly.

I was fortunate enough to able to complete an internship abroad during my undergraduate career. Though I was extremely excited to begin work at a German university in Berlin, I was also very apprehensive about the huge transition I would have to make. Not only was I living in a new country speaking a relatively uncomfortable language, but it was also my first laboratory experience in the side of materials science, which so often overlaps with chemistry. Through my time in Berlin, I learned about German culture, conducting science abroad, and I got a healthy dose of chemistry.
My lab work in Germany involved the synthesis and functionalization of gold nanospheres and nanorods for the ultimate goal of the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis using hyperbranched polyglycerol. Though I worked under an older graduate student and had to start essentially from the beginning due to my relative lack of chemistry lab training, my fellow interns and I were given many opportunities to expand on our laboratory skills, and I came to be independent in both synthesis and in data collection and analysis for a variety of nanoparticles. Though we mainly worked with gold, we also explored more nontraditional nanomaterials including graphene and nanodiamonds through work my mentor was doing in collaboration with other groups, giving me a broad experience in nanotechnology.
In addition, doing my internship abroad rather than at another university in the United States gave me a new perspective on science as an international endeavor. Though lab books, conversation, and notes were in German, everything with a larger audience was conducted in English, from guest lecturers to group meeting presentations to papers written for publication in journals. While this made me a little more comfortable given my barely conversational German, it also struck me how my peers were obligated to be conversant in English to be part of the international science community, as well as a contributing part of their own local groups. This helped me understand the unique challenges faced by international scientists, and I look forward to continuing work with international collaborators in the future.
My internship, though it started out slow, ended up being an invaluable experience for my current work. It was a great way to get an in depth and low commitment experience with an aspect of lab work in materials science that I hadn't previously been familiar with, and inspired me to continue working in this field. My work in the Searson Group centers around nanoparticle synthesis as applied to quantum dots, and my experience both as a member of a chemistry lab and as a semi-independent synthesizer of nanoparticles gave me an advantage in learning to navigate my way around the lab and the relatively difficult protocols applied in the synthesis of quantum dots. While it did break up the span of time over which I could do longer term research, ultimately the opportunity to explore a variety of aspects of materials science in a hands-on way was extremely valuable, and helped to inform my future research interests.
Luisa Russell is a second-year PhD candidate in the materials science department working on hybrid multifunctional nanoparticles in Peter Searson's research group.
