You know, this is probably the most "action" to appear in this comic to date. ^_^
For all of her teasing, there's probably nobody who cares more about Rain than Aunt Fara. You really kinda can't blame her for getting upset anyway. It's frustrating to hear someone speak ill of or make accusations toward someone you care about. It's even more frustrating when their remarks are completely wrong and baseless. And then it's downright infuriating when you can't even tell them why they're wrong in the effort of keeping a secret. Metaphorically speaking, Mrs. Parker was walking blindly into a lion's den and stepping on every tail along the way; she didn't know it, but she kinda had it coming.
And don't worry, Mrs. Parker will be fine. It's just a rolled-up, poster-size piece of paper (Fara's student's homework). Aunt Fara wasn't trying to hurt her, after all… just shut her up.
As a side note, it was entirely unintentional, but the pairing of these two characters reminds me vaguely of Yukari and Nyamo from Azumanga Daioh (possibly due to the dramatic poster slap). Mrs. Parker wasn't originally meant to be that important of a character, but I think I'd like to explore more of this dynamic in the future. ^_^
Rain, all characters and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to me.
I love your comic, it's pure genius. Im an FTM so I feel for Rain TT^TT Keep going this is awesome work!!!
@LittleLynn84: im a mtf trying to figure out a name I've been going with lyra but I'm also considering lily and kasey also I'm 12 any good name sugenstions I've shot so many names down because i knew people with the same name
@lyra?: guest comments you see under those names are from me
... wow! And well done!!
Truly an epic showdown!
Bonus points for the Azumanga Daioh reference.
Story looks great so far, I just heard about it today.

With the exception of disputed pro-football coin tosses and extreme debate clubs, the stage remains the only venue where arguments are regularly settled with a sword fight. Behold a dramatic settling of differences with this GrouponLive deal.
The Deal
- $12 for one ticket to American Repertory Ballet presents Romeo and Juliet (up to a $45 value)
- When: Friday, October 11, at 8 p.m.
- Where: State Theatre
- Seating: mid-orchestra, mid-balcony, upper balcony, or gallery
- Door time: 6:30 p.m.
- Ticket values include all fees.
- View the orchestra seating chart and the balcony and gallery seating chart.
A free pre-performance insight will take place at 7 p.m. on October 11 at the United Methodist Church, 323 George Street in New Brunswick, and will be led by ARB's ballet aficionado, Mary Pat Robertson.
American Repertory Ballet Presents Romeo and Juliet
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
So opens Romeo and Juliet, perhaps Shakespeare's most famous tragedy and a timeless warning to grudge-bearing elders and impetuous youth alike. In a production hailed by Critical Dance's Jerry Hochman as "emotionally and artistically fulfilling," and lead by Artistic Director Douglas Martin and Conductor Kynan Johns, American Repertory Ballet's company of 30 dancers wordlessly act out the timeless story of tumultuous rivalries and young love, all underscored by the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra performing Prokofiev's score. The Capulets and the Montagues have been battling for generations, but a chance encounter and instant connection between their scions, Romeo and Juliet, leads to reconciliation under the most tragic circumstances possible. After the famous balcony scene, an unforgettable vignette that descends into an argument about the meaning of the word "wherefore," the lovers struggle against the fate their families have drawn for them, only to fall victim to their adolescent temerity. An immortal tale that takes on more dimensions with every new adaptation, Romeo and Juliet has inspired countless stories of star-crossed lovers, from West Side Story to High School Musical.
State Theatre New Jersey
The State Theatre New Jersey was saved, as its website states, from "the ravages of time." Built in 1921 as a vaudeville and silent-film palace, the venue fell on hard times in the 1970s. In 2003, however, a $3 million renovation restored the State Theatre New Jersey to much of its original glory, as crews painstakingly rehabbed the ornamental plaster, terracotta exterior, and actor holding cells. Inside the theater, a stunning chandelier sparkles more brightly than ever below the venue's signature dome.

Tuesday November 5th, 2013 12:38am
Two of Section 3's best kicked off the 2011 season Wednesday evening in a matchup pitting the longtime Class A powerhouse West Genesee Wildcats against the Carthage Comets of the Frontier League. Senior attackman Dylan Donahue (3G, 1A) and junior middie Tim Barber (2G, 2A) led the scoring as the Wildcats never trailed and led by as many as five goals on their way to an 8-5 victory at West Genesee High School in Camillus.
"We haven't been (patient) up to this point, but today we were a lot more patient," said West Genesee coach Mike Messere. "We waited and worked and worked until we got a good shot, which is what we want them to do. So there's some improvement."
West Genny jumped out to a 1-0 lead with 5:45 left in the first when Barber found Donahue open on the left wing for an easy finish. Carthage answered back at just over a minute later as senior Nick Piroli (Brown) caught the defense unsettled, hitting Hunter Craig cutting down the left hash marks with plenty of room to wind up a big bounce shot.
But the Wildcats would score off the ensuing face-off, with Donahue (Air Force) scoring his second goal on a beautiful spinning jump shot from about 7 yards in front of the cage – taking a pass, turning his body and hitting top right all in one motion. Barber scored his first goal of the game with 2:26 to go in the first, driving through the defense, showing a quick change of direction, great hands and some real grit.\
Almost half of the quarter would go by before either squad would give, with both team's backlines playing solid defense for long stretches of this contest.
But Barber finally struck again to make it 4-1 Wildcats at 6:46. Carthage's leading scorer on the day (3G, 1A), Craig scored his second goal a couple minutes later, getting a step on his defender on a drive from X and shooting from just above GLE. Craig – a senior who wears the #22 at Carthage – netted his third with 3:07 to go in the half, taking a feed from Tom Grimm (Syracuse) on a set play and finishing right on the doorstep to make it a one goal game, 4-3.
Grimm, who took the majority of the Comets' face-offs, had a chance to tie it up just before the half, helping create a turnover on the ride. With West Genny goaltender Tim Birchler out of the cage, Grimm took a shot from midfield, and it bounced just wide.
"I told him at halftime, we don't practice those shots in practice," Carthage coach Kirk Ventiquattro said after the game with a smile.
In the third quarter, Grimm and the Comets were man-up to start, but the Cats' defense gave up only one quality look, a shot that went wide, and they killed the penalty, which led to a goal by senior attackman Cody Hoose, one of several West Genny Wildcats emerging as players more than capable of making big plays at the right moments.
"Skill wise, we're right there," Messere said. "We're always smaller and sometimes the kids are younger, but they get to about their senior year, and they start to get the physical maturity. I don't know if it's something in the water, but we're not big. We're not big at all. They're tough kids that play hard."
Ventiquattro pointed out that the Wildcats can capitalize on their opponent's smallest misstep.
"Everything you do wrong against West Genesee is magnified, and that's why it's a great game to start the season with," Ventiquattro said. "And Genny does such a good job of controlling your offense, and they did that. Genny's defense is great."
After falling down 5-3 to open the second half, the Comets responded with a lengthy and patient set, owning the ball for a good stretch, but still coming up short. They would be held scoreless for nearly the entire second half, as the Wildcats' got a great performance from senior netminder Tim Birchler, who made 11 saves on the night, including several clutch stops during Carthage's best possessions. He stuffed Grimm streaking down the lane at about 2:20 in the third.
The Wildcats followed that up with a series featuring picture perfect ball movement and rotation by Donahue and senior attackman Corey Harrington to set Hoose up for his second goal, extending the lead to 6-3.
Though Carthage goaltender Gordie Wiltse (Siena) made 8 saves of his own, several of them outstanding, the Wildcats pulled away with some great individual efforts, including Donahue's third goal at 9:25 in the third, an authoritative drive from X, topped off with a dip 'n dunk finish, to make it 7-3.
Connor Khammar, a senior middie who plays on the face-off wing, scored with 3:13 left in the game to give the Cats their biggest lead of the day. Khammar came up with some big groundballs on the afternoon, looking like another bright senior playmaker.
"We're pretty good with two midfield lines right now," Messere said after the game, when asked about his depth at the position, which includes seniors Bob Gasparini and Jim Cordon; juniors Barber, Matt Schattner and Ryan Tinklepaugh, and sophomores Teddy Glesener and Dan Ginestro.
The Comets did manage a late rally, with Piroli and Derek Kehoe (Ohio State) scoring within a minute's time to make it 8-5.
That's where it would stand, even as Grimm was sent in with the long pole for the final few possessions, as Carthage looked to create turnovers any way possible. Grimm came up with at least one turnover with the big wand, but the Wildcats played smart ball to end the game and take their first victory of the year.
So early in the season, both coaches had good things to say after the game.
"Our goal is to get the best we can be and win a state championship," said Ventiquattro, who was grateful to get his team on Messere's schedule again this season. "This game has no bearing on that negatively, but I'll bet you that it has a lot of bearing on what we do positively."
With nine consecutive Section 3 Class A titles, West Genesee can make it a full decade with another this season.
"It's the same expectation every year," Messere said after the win. "Shoot for the moon. You just might get there."
?Recruit Watch: The son of Syracuse coach Kevin Donahue, Dylan is off to a hot start already with 4 points. Air Force head coach and former Wildcat Eric Seremet will be welcoming into his program next fall an exceptionally talented young player with big aspirations beyond lacrosse. Junior Tim Barber, the brother of Syracuse midfielder Ryan Barber, has 4 points to match Donahue. Barber's looking like one of the top offensive threats from the midfield for West Genny, a team with lots of middies to choose from. Senior defenders John Sabert (Army) and Pat Brown (Cortland), a co-captain along with Donahue, stood out for the Wildcats. West Genesee is bursting at the seams with players who will end up on college rosters down the road, some of them possibly at elite programs. Keep an eye out for junior middie Matt Schattner. Senior Tim Birchler looked poised and confident in his first game, keeping the Comets to just 5 goals with the help of his defense.
Carthage's Nick Piroli looks poised for another great season quarterbacking the offense from X. With Tom Grimm out front, along with fellow seniors Hunter Craig, Derek Kehoe, Robbie Strife and Kyle Temple, Piroli's vision and shiftiness behind the cage will be a huge asset, and he'll get plenty of preparation to make a run at some playing time at Brown in 2012. Grimm, who has been scoring goals for the Comets since he was in 8th grade, has become a do-it-all player, playing mostly midfield, taking face-offs, playing defense, and taking on much more responsibility than he did in his early seasons, which can only help him on his way to a Syracuse program that values multi-faceted players. Capable of putting up big points with his athleticism and stickwork, expect him to do so moving forward. Kehoe, who suffered an ACL injury in the Empires last summer, is returning to form, a rugged groundball machine. Nate Koster, a 6-2, 205 lb. senior defender, stood out for Carthage as a big presence on the backline. Junior Andrew Swords looked great in transition and throws some nice checks. Senior netminder Gordie Wiltse opened up the season the right way, making some fantastic saves against one of the area's best teams.
Up Next: West Genny takes on city rival Corcoran high school Friday night in another early season showdown. When asked what he'll be working on during the short turnaround time, Messere said defense.
"They are an unpredictable type of team," he said of Corcoran. "Sometimes it's like they can go through 6 guys. They're so good with their sticks."
For Carthage, the team gets some rest before starting its Frontier League slate against General Brown on April 7. Then the Comets host a 6-team tournament to raise funds and show support for the Wounded Warrior Project, with all proceeds benefitting the non-profit organization. Carthage faces Section 5 rival Penn Yan in the tourney.
The Carthage players wore Wounded Warrior Project camouflage T-shirts under their game jerseys against West Genesee.
"I want our guys to play for more than just to play," Ventiquattro said. "I want them to honor the game, honor our community and honor the people who give us a chance to play this great game."

The Biggest Loser: Couples
Trent Patterson the eleventh contestant cut from 'The Biggest Loser'
By Christopher Rocchio, 02/13/2008
Trent Patterson's warrior heart wasn't enough to overcome his wounded knee, and the 39-year-old school safety and security coordinator from Endicott, NY became the eleventh contestant cut from
The Biggest Loser
: Couples
during last night's broadcast of the NBC reality show's fifth season.
"I feel like I've stayed true to me and why I wanted to come here," said Trent after he asked to be booted due to his knee injury. "I didn't come here for the money. People get wrapped up in the game, and I think people lose sight of things. I'm down 87 pounds. I have a great start to the rest of my life. So the way I see it, I've already won."
The Biggest Loser
: Couples
seventh episode began with Dan Evans feeling "betrayed" by his four fellow Blue Team members after they blind-sided him and his mom Jackie at the
previous elimination
, leading to her ouster.
"She played the game. So did we. It is what it is," explained Mark Kruger.
Dan sought comfort with the Black Team and while some of its members wanted their trainer Jillian Michaels to work with Dan, she advised her squad to stay out of the Blue Team's affairs and focus on their weight-loss goals.
Dan explained to Blue Team trainer Bob Harper that he felt he was next on the chopping block if his team were to lose the weigh-in, and Bob told him to get his head back into the game. Taking Bob's advice, Dan realized if he wanted any chance of sticking around he'd have to develop a bond and relationship with the rest of the Blue Team. He explained to them that he understood they had to make a difficult decision when ousting his mom, and the group made amends.
The Biggest Loser
player-of-the-week at the previous weigh-in, Bernardo Salazar was met by the traditional reward selections that dealt with family, game play and luxury. He chose game play and learned he'd receive "50% off at this week's challenge."
"What the hell does that mean?" wondered Bernie.
The two teams then met host Allison Sweeney by a chilly lake for a Reward Challenge, and she explained the rules. Two pairs of contestants from each team would stand on parallel balance beams over water. In between each pair was a rope, and hanging from it was the total amount of weight loss so far by that duo. Each pair would have to keep their weight from falling in the water. Last pair standing would win reward for their team.
Bernie's reward for being player-of-the-week came into focus, as he would only be holding half of the weight he had lost so far. The winning team would get to give immunity at the next weigh-in to two people -- one from their team and one from the other team. Since both teams had five members, the Blue Team decided to sit Trent while the Black Team decided to bench Kelly Fields.
The challenge commenced, with Mark and Dan holding 130 pounds and Jay Kruger and Roger Shultz holding 107 pounds for the Blue Team, while Maggie King and Paul Marks held 85 pounds and Bernie and Brittany Aberle held 72 pounds for the Black Team.
Jay and Roger went into the drink just over five minutes into the challenge and Mark and Dan followed after the 10-minute mark, giving the Black Team its second Reward Challenge victory in a row. The Black Team would have until the next weigh-in to decide who to use the immunity on.
Needless to say, Bob wasn't too happy the Blue Team lost another challenge after also losing the previous weigh-in. He was even more peeved when he learned what the reward they missed out on was.
"We are at the half-way mark now -- game play, manipulation -- it's got to happen in this house," he said. "Do what you've got to do, because you guys are the strongest competitors in this whole house."
"It's not about [game play] for me," said Trent. "I understand this is a game, but I don't care about the game. If I go home, and not having learned anything or not having lost as much weight as I can, I feel like I failed. I can't get wrapped up in the game."
Trent became emotional and Bob consoled him, telling him he's making his family proud.
"I love Trent because he is here for all the right reasons," said Bob. "The more that Trent and I can work together, he'll be invincible."
Jillian decided that the Black Team would determine which member of her squad received immunity the "fair way," meaning she'd draw names out of a hat. Maggie was the last name pulled, and immunity went to her.
The Black Team then received a surprise, as Jillian introduced them to her mom, who is a psychotherapist. Jillian's mom would speak to the Black Team members on an individual basis to find the roots of some of their unhealthy habits. The Blue Team also had the option to meet with Jillian's mom, however considering it consists of five dudes they obviously didn't want to do it. Instead they went on a hike, using the mantra "walk it out, not talk it out."
Both the Black Team's talk with Jillian's mom and the Blue Team's hike seemed therapeutic, however Trent's knee -- which had been bothering him since
Week 2 of the competition
-- was giving him some major problems and slowing his pace.
"It's difficult," said Trent. "I've been dealing with a bad knee since I've been here. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's probably an 8. It's like being in a football game and not being able to go 100%."
The two teams then participated in their last-chance workouts, and Maggie described the Blue Team as the "biggest group of dumb jocks." The Blue Team then lived up to the stereotype, with Roger comparing them to a football team -- giving each member a position no less.
The Biggest Loser
: Couples'
seventh weigh-in then commenced. The team with the highest weight-loss percentage would be safe from elimination, while the losing squad would have to eliminate one of their members. The Black Team revealed Maggie would have immunity and decided to give Jay immunity on the Blue Team. Jay realized the only reason he got immunity was because the Black Team saw him as the "least amount of a threat."
The Black Team was the first to weigh-in. Kelly started the week at 233 and lost eight pounds; Paul began at 251 and dropped 10 pounds; Bernie started at 223 and shed seven pounds; Brittany began at 189 and lost one pound; and Maggie started at 206 and dropped two pounds.
The Black Team's combined weight loss following their third week competing as a team was 28 pounds, or a 2.54% weight-loss percentage. Since Maggie, Bernie and Brittany are tight in the competition and Paul posted the Black Team's best numbers of the week, Kelly knew she'd be booted if her squad lost the weigh-in.
The Blue Team would have to lose a combined 35 pounds to overtake the Black Team. Dan started the week at 244 and lost seven pounds; Roger began at 301 and dropped nine pounds; Trent started at 357 and shed eight pounds; Mark began at 221 and lost six pounds; and Jay started at 248 and lost four pounds.
The Blue Team's combined weight loss following their third week competing as a team was 34 pounds -- one pound short of what they needed -- for a 2.48% weight-loss percentage. Since Roger had the highest percentage of weight loss for the Blue Team, he was safe from elimination along with Jay, who felt he let his team down.
With only an hour to make their decision, members of the Blue Team gathered and began to discuss their options.
"You guys know what I've been dealing with. The pain. Just trying to fight through the injuries," said Trent. "I'm doing the best that I can, but obviously my numbers are starting to drop. Eights, sevens, fives -- that's not going to work for me to be in this competition. I just want you guys to go ahead and send me home so I can get myself together. I'll go home and get myself taken care of."
"That's what you want?" asked Roger, who
entered the competition
as Trent's partner.
Trent answered in the affirmative, and while Mark wanted to insure that was the best decision for the team, it clearly was considering Trent's injury.
"I just wanted to take that stress off you guys," said Trent. "I didn't want you guys to have to stress through this process about who you're going to vote off."
Once it was agreed upon, everybody gave Trent a hug and he let them know they didn't let him down.
"You guys know my stance on it is for me to get healthy -- it's not about the money for me -- it was about me jump-starting what I needed to do for me," said Trent. "I'm dealing with an injury. You guys have seen me walking around... I don't have to explain it to you guys. I'm going to continue, so don't think I'm going to slack off."
The Blue Team then reconvened to cast their elimination votes, and Trent received his wish and was sent packing.
"The person I'm voting for today I've known for a long time... 21 years," said Roger before revealing he voted for his buddy. "You know, we played football together. We've been through a lot of battles. Trent's been by my side so many times. We have that bond -- and I was telling somebody earlier today, 'Trent doesn't talk because we can communicate without talking. We've been around each other so much, that's why he doesn't have to talk! I'll talk!' But this vote is his wish. He's got a warrior's heart and he knows that it's getting harder and harder for him to keep up. He's got to get his knee fixed."
"Roger and I, we played a lot of ball together," said Trent following his ouster. "We were side by side in the trenches, and our experience here has been really special. I'm very happy to have been a part of it and to have shared it with Roger."
After Trent exited, the Black Team joined the Blue Team in the elimination room and Allison had a surprise for them.
"You are about to experience a
The Biggest Loser
first," explained Allison. "What could be the most difficult challenge you have had to face yet. You are all going back to the scene of the crime. The one place that could prevent you from losing the weight that you need to lose to help you reach your goals... You're going home."

Have you ever been to a wedding and felt as if you were trapped in a kaleidoscope? Every hue in the spectrum was present, yet decorative common sense was not among the invited. I have had the pleasure of attending a couple of weddings where the colors caused a series of headaches. One of which, the green paisley wall paper of the venue violently clashed with the bridesmaid's two-toned ensembles and another where the shades of the florals all but complimented the tones of the tablecloths. I have seen my fair share of color blended disasters.

There's much to discuss following Detroit's loss to the Green Bay Packers, including a looming playoff matchup with the New Orleans Saints, a suddenly anemic defense and everything in between.
But let's forget all of those storylines for a moment. Let's take a step back and reflect on a surprisingly, seemingly overlooked aspect of the 2011 season: Matthew Stafford.
The 23-year-old Stafford had a truly remarkable campaign, throwing for more than 5,000 yards with 41 touchdown passes.
To put those numbers into perspective, only three other quarterbacks in league history have thrown for 5,000 yards in a single season while only five have thrown for more than 40 touchdowns in a season.
Stafford joined Dan Marino (1984) and Drew Brees (2011) as the only quarterbacks to throw for 5,000 yards and 40 touchdowns in the same season.
To emphasize how impressive this truly is, outside of Marino, Stafford is five years younger than any of the other quarterbacks who have thrown for 40-plus touchdowns in a season (Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner and Aaron Rodgers were all 28 years old when they accomplished this feat) and six years younger than any quarterback that reached 5,000 passing yards in a season (Brees was 29 when he did in 2008).
In 1984, Marino was 23 years old and finished his first 16-game season in the NFL (it was his second career season). He completed 64.2 percent of his passes for 5,084 yards and 48 touchdowns. In 2011, at the same age and also playing in his first full slate of games, Stafford completed 63.5 percent of his passes for 5,038 yards and 41 touchdowns.
Simply put, Stafford had an incredibly productive season leading the team to 10 wins. Although a 10-win season is hardly impressive in the NFL, it does seem more substantial when you consider it is more wins than the Lions had in the three years prior combined.
The NFL is becoming more of a passing league and the Lions are part of a large group of teams that are influencing that trend. There is no doubt that Stafford's numbers are partially inflated by the fact that he had an incredible 663 passing attempts. However, he proved that he should have the ball in his hands and that he is capable of being an elite NFL quarterback.
Before 2011, when three quarterbacks (Stafford, Rodgers and Brees) threw for 40-plus touchdowns, the 40-touchdown benchmark was reached five times. Brady did it in 2007 (50), Manning in 2004 (49), Marino in 1984 (48), Marino again in 1986 (44) and Kurt Warner in 1999 (41).
All of the above mentioned seasons, save for Marino's in 1986, resulted in recognition as the league's most valuable player. Matthew Stafford will not only not win the MVP award, but he wasn't even named to the NFC Pro Bowl squad. In fact, he was listed as the NFC's third alternate.
For anyone who remains a supporter of Stafford's snub or simply doesn't believe Stafford is developing into an elite quarterback, looking at what he accomplished in 2011 should alter your opinion.
Stafford is a superstar quarterback in the making.

Graduate Career Services
Alumni Spotlight - Jenna Walton
Current Job Title - Professional Research Assistant
Name of Organization - Kinnamon Lab at the University of Denver
Undergraduate Degree - B.S. Biological Sciences, B.S. Psychology, emphasis in Cognitive Neuroscience
Graduate Degree - M.S. Cellular and Molecular Biology
InterviewWhat does your current position entail?
Our lab investigates the neurobiology of taste using various techniques of immunohistochemistry. I use both immunofluorescence and colloidal gold for electron microscopy to localize various proteins in the rodent taste bud to help identify key signaling effectors in taste transduction.
How did you get your current position?
I actually completed my master's degree with the Kinnamon Lab and, at the end of my program, Dr. Kinnamon asked if I would be interested in continuing my work for the remainder of the grant.
In relation to graduation, when did you start the job search and when did you secure your position?
I am in a bit of a unique situation as my job search was actually a search for more schooling. During my graduate school experience, I learned so much about science and the things that I liked about my field and the things I didn't like about my field and decided that I needed more education to get the job I really want. I began looking into various M.D./Ph.D, MSTP (Medical Scientist Training Program) and DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy) programs around February (about 4 months prior to graduation). I decided to apply to Physical Therapy schools here in Colorado and start the formal interviewing process this February.
In regard to the job search process, did anything surprise you?
Not really.
What recommendations do you have for current students?
My biggest recommendation is to not be afraid of networking. Get involved in organizations that pertain to your area of work. Get your face out there so that your future employers know that you are committed and determined. It's amazing how many opportunities can arise when you simply put yourself out there!
What's the strangest interview question you were ever asked? How did you respond?
They have all been your standard interview questions for the most part. Except once I was asked if I was a dog or a cat person. I still haven't decided if this was a serious question or not (haha!) but I responded that it depended on my mood. When I'm feeling playful and energetic, I feel like I'm more of a dog person. But when I'm feeling lazy and just want to cuddle up on the couch, I feel like I'm more of a cat person.
Which aspects of your background have been most helpful in your current position?
Completing an M.S. in Biology that required completion of a formal thesis has given me such valuable and indispensable knowledge that has helped me succeed in my current position. In addition to the laboratory skills attained during graduate school, the critical thinking skills have proven most helpful to me.
If you were in your graduate program again, what would you do differently, if anything?
I think that I would read more research papers outside of my field of study. I didn't realize until far into my program that so much can be gained from other literature. When you limit your search, you really do limit what you can learn and apply to your own work.
Any additional comments for current students?
Be sure to give it all you got! You only get out of it what you put into it, so really make it count!

Woman Fatally Shot By Bear Hunter - News Story - KIRO Seattle
SKAGIT COUNTY, Wash. -- A woman was fatally shot by a bear hunter on Sauk Mountain, said Chief Deputy Will Reichardt of the Skagit County Sheriffs Office.
A 54-year-old woman from Oso was hiking with a friend around 10:30 a.m. Saturday when a group of hunters were also in the mountain.
One of the hunters, a juvenile male from Concrete, spotted what he thought was a bear and fired a round, fatally wounding the woman.
Deputies said a preliminary investigation indicates that the woman was stopped on the trail putting something into her backpack when the hunter mistook her for a bear and fired one shot.
The incident happened along Highway 20 west of Rockport. Reichardt said its legal to hunt bear in that area and its also a popular hiking area.
The hunter was accompanied by at least one other person, police said.
Police said no one is currently in custody and they continue to interview the hunter and the woman who was hiking with the victim.

Here's a new thread today with the classic dilemma posed right at the start.

I am afraid I may have an underlying head gasket issue (cracked or blown), something I cannot afford to fix in this or the next lifetime.
The car still turns on as normal, also driving as such. Now, I am aware NOT to drive it, for the risk of burning it out completely.
However, my question is: Should I replace the radiator for now and work my way up to the gaskets? Or am I wasting my time buying the radiator? OR is it possible to solder the cracked area?
I must add, I questioned why the thermostat went up and down, even while driving; my car showed no signs of overheating. Therefore, many told me that the thermostat may be broken and I would simply need to replace it. All in all Ididn't think much of this.
What do I do!??!?!? I'm nervous that if I buy a new radiator that I might be wasting my money

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ---- Senior Michael Busby made his final home start at Young Memorial Field a memorable one, working eight-plus innings and allowing just one earned run as UAB defeated Southern Miss 2-1 on Thursday evening.
Busby (4-4) allowed just five hits, three to USM shortstop Ashley Graeter, to help UAB improve to 29-25 and 9-13 in league play. The loss dropped the Golden Eagles to 28-23 and 12-10 in C-USA action.
The two teams will meet again on Friday, with first pitch set for 6:30 p.m. CT. The game will air locally on WJOX-AM 690 with David Crane on the call. UAB will send right-hander Chase Mallard to the mound, while Southern Miss will counter with southpaw Jake Drehoff.
The win marked the 13th one-run victory for the Blazers this season and snapped a four-game losing streak to USM.
In his 13th and final regular season start of his senior campaign, Busby was lights out, matching pitch for pitch with USM's ace and reigning C-USA Pitcher of the Week Andrew Pierce. Busby struck out four and did not walk a batter, retiring 10 of the first 11 batters he faced. He sent the side down in order four times and allowed only one runner to reach past second base.
"The big difference for me over the last two weeks was that I pounded the strike zone," Busby said. "My main focus coming into today was to be up-tempo and be in the strike zone and try not to give up as many freebees as I have the past two weeks (starts at Memphis and Rice)."
Neither team could make a mark on the scoreboard as it was a classic pitchers' duel. Through the first four-and-a-half innings, UAB stranded five base runners, three in scoring position.
"Either (Andrew) Pierce or (Matthew) Reckling is going to be (C-USA) Pitcher of the Year, so you knew that runs were going to be at premium," UAB head coach Brian Shoop said.
UAB cashed in the first run of the game in the fifth when Ryan Prinzing (2-for-5) scored all the way from the first on a John Frost (2-for-4) double that was laced just inside the third base bag.
In the seventh, USM's Blake Brown just missed a two-run homer, as he tripled off the wall in left center field, bringing home Graeter to tie the ball game. The run against Busby broke a streak of 15.2 scoreless innings at home for the Vicksburg, Miss., native. The righty had thrown a complete game shutout in his last start at Young Memorial Field vs. Houston on April 29.
The game remained in a deadlock until the eighth, when USM went to its bullpen. James McMahon (2-1) replaced Pierce, recorded an out but walked two guys and was lifted for fellow right-hander Chase Horn. Harry Clark walked to load the bases for the Blazers. After a strikeout, Keith DePew drew a walk, the fourth of the inning, allowing what proved to be the game winning run to score.
Pierce pitched the first seven frames, allowing one earned run off six hits with four strikeouts in the no decision.
In the top of the ninth, leadoff batter, Graeter, who was a pest all night, reached with a single, ending the day for Busby. The Blazers called on another senior, Dillon Napoleon, who made quick work of the USM lineup retiring all three batters he faced for his first career save.
"Busby was fantastic tonight and I thought his stuff was still good late in the game, that is why we sent him out in the ninth. He gave up a leadoff hit so we went to our big boy (Napoleon) and he was really good for us again," Shoop said.
Napoleon has now earned a win and a save in his last two outings, just his second and third career appearances out of the bullpen.
"Dillon brings that fire and passion out of the bullpen and it being his last weekend here at home, I couldn't be happier that he was the one that closed the door tonight," Busby said.

Communication Majors Bring Home National Championship
The Department of Communication is proud to congratulate three special members of the championship women's volleyball team, Communication majors Jessie Batanian, Christina Gilene, and Katie Sumner. These athletes and students have had an incredible journey using the skills they've acquired in the
|Katie Sumner ('12), Jessie Batanian ('13), and Christina Gilene ('13) at the volleyball welcome reception after the championship
classroom and applying them to interactions with their teammates and even members of the media.
"Communication has helped me to be more comfortable around people," said Gilene, junior. "I have realized that when talking to other peers, adults, or even giving interviews after a big volleyball game, I am able to get through what I need to say in a professional manner and not have any setbacks."
Batanian echoed the sentiments of Gilene, saying that a Communication major has helped her with interacting with others.
"A Communication degree has helped me perform as a better teammate by how I now have an understanding of group communication as well as a background in interpersonal relationships," said Batanian, junior.
These women are not only exceptional athletes; they are exceptional students. Balancing the demands of the classroom with the requirements of being a student athlete can be particularly challenging, but these women have managed both.
"We oftentimes have study tables while traveling to matches and we really emphasize staying ahead in course work," said Batanian.
"The professors are also great about us missing class," added Gilene. "They are very understanding and it is so easy to meet with them during their office hours so they can help us get on the right track."
Congratulations again to the Women's Volleyball team for bringing home the NCAA Division III championship!

Top 10: Canadian Actors
Here are 10 of the biggest Canadian actors in Hollywood to emerge from this 51st state.
Number 10
Ryan GoslingLondon, Ontario
Before establishing himself as one of the most accomplished young actors of his generation, Ryan Gosling kicked off his career on a decidedly lighthearted note, appearing on three episodes of the updated version of The Mickey Mouse Club. Ryan worked steadily on a number of locally shot television shows and movies through the '90s, until his big break came in 1998 when he was cast as the title character on the program Young Hercules. The series was cancelled the following year, yet it proved to be more than enough for Ryan to get his foot in the door among Hollywood types.
The fledgling actor's first post-Young Hercules role was opposite Denzel Washington in 2000's Remember the Titans, which also featured appearances by Kate Bosworth and Hayden Panettiere. Any doubts as to Ryan's abilities were firmly extinguished the following year, however, as the Canadian actor took on the most complex and controversial role of his career as an anti-Semitic Jew in the drama The Believer. The movie proved that Ryan had the chops to tackle just about any role, although his superstardom wasn't cemented until he appeared opposite fellow Canadian Rachel McAdams in the 2004 weeper The Notebook.
Ryan Gosling's work in the 2006 drama Half Nelson earned the Canadian actor his first Oscar nomination, and he has managed to blend mainstream Hollywood efforts (2007's Fracture) with smaller, quirkier indie flicks (2003's The United States of Leland).
More successful Canadian actors to be proud of…

mm 2.4 petrol auto in a large high car and your complaining of fuel consumption.
mm 2.4 petrol auto in a large high car and your complaining of fuel consumption.
Those meters are just guesstimates, the only way to tell what your actual mileage is, is to put 10-20 tanks of fuel through calculating distance traveled/ quantity of fuel and averaging them out for an "average fuel consumption" figure. Forget about the "meters" they are a snap shot of your consumption at that very second under those very conditions.
Do this. Do a complete fillup with gas. Record your mileage. Drive until you've used about 3/4 of a tank. Fill up again and once more record your mileage and this time record the amount of gas it took to fill it up. Subtract the 1st mileage from the last; that is how many miles you've traveled since the last fillup. Now take the # of miles driven and divide it by the number of gallons of gas it took to fill up your last tankfull. That will give you the accurate fuel consumption.
I like to keep track of my gas consumption so I do it with a spreadsheet. Below is an example for November of last year. This is very simple to do:
DATE.. MILES... Gallons... Cost...... MPG...
11..... 24,641... 11.357... $36.10... 21.8
17..... 24,829... 7.899..... $25.27... 23.8
18..... 25,038... 8.471..... $26.59... 24.7
Here's one of the calculations. See the MPG figure for the 17th. This is how it's calculated: (24829mi-24641mi)/7.899 gals = 23.8 miles/gallon

A healthy lifestyle requires a holistic perspective that not only addresses your state of mind and physical exercise but also sound nutrition. So occasionally we'll share tips that can help you meet your nutritional goals and keep your body feeling good. Here's a look at one food with which you may not be overly familiar.
Athletes, especially those involved in long-distance events like running or cycling, are well familiar with all manner of endurance gels, goos and other products that promise a boost of energy for those final stretches. But some cultures have been using their own natural form of energy supplement for hundreds of years: Chia seeds.
If your first thought was "Chia Pet," then you'd be right – these seeds are best known in our culture from the Chia Pets, a popular gag gift and staple of many households in the 80s. But the seeds themselves have amazing properties. Chia is a member of the mint family and the seeds are high in Omega-3s, protein and fiber. When mixed with water, they form a gelatinous substance that can help fill you up and keep you energized.
In recent years, the Chia seed has experienced popularity in the United States and many attribute the attention to the book Born to Run,in which Christopher McDougall recounts how the bare-footed Tarahumara runners of Mexico would ingest the seeds before and during runs of 100+ miles.
Nowadays, you can easily find Chia seeds in local health food stores or order them online. 2 teaspoons diluted into 8-10 ounces of water with the juice of a lime makes for a refreshing drink. The seeds can also be sprinkled over salads, baked into breads or snacked on raw. Dr. Oz has called Chia seeds the "perfect food," since they are loaded with nutrition and no empty calories. If you can get over drinking a gelatinous beverage (some say it resembles a bubble tea or tapioca), you can enjoy the many benefits of Chia seeds.

UPDATE 3-In split from SocGen, TCW's fortunes seen set to rise
By Greg Roumeliotis and Jessica Toonkel and Jennifer Ablan
MADRID Nov 14 Spain's Banco Popular received orders for 11 percent of a 2.5-billion-euro ($3.2 billion) rights issue on its first day, the bank said on Wednesday.
The rights issue was an attempt by the bank to avoid seeking state aid after an independent audit of Spanish banks found it needed an extra 3.2 billion euros to weather a serious economic downturn.
The bank's shares rose 3 percent on Wednesday, not counting the subscription rights, to 0.579 euros a share. The rights closed at 0.468 euros.
The lender offered three new shares at 0.401 euros for every existing share in the rights issue.
The new shares were offered at a 64 percent discount to a closing price of 1.118 euros on Friday, the day before shareholders approved the capital hike, steeper than the 55 percent discount that analysts had expected.

Hammond to Be Honored in Hometown
Hammond's hometown of Zion, Illinois will host ceremony in his honor on Saturday
In just his second year with the Bucks, general manager John Hammond had a successful season, compiling a roster that put Milwaukee in the playoffs for the first time since 2006. The NBA recognized Hammond for his accomplishments by naming him the Executive of the Year and now, his hometown of Zion, Illinois wants to recognize his achievements.
On Saturday, June 5, Hammond will head back to Zion for a ceremony in his honor at the Zion Leisure Center Gym (2400 Dowie Memorial Drive). The event begins at 6:00 p.m. and Hammond's director of scouting, and fellow Zion native, Billy McKinney will emcee the event.

Hammond started his basketball career in his hometown as he played at Zion-Benton High School. After graduating in 1972, he went on to Greenville College in Illinois and furthered his career by lettering twice in basketball and serving as a student assistant coach. After he left Illinois, Hammond's coaching career continued in the college ranks at Southwest Missouri State, Houston Baptist, Nebraska and at the high school level in Nebraska.
In 1989, Hammond entered the NBA as an assistant coach and scout with the Minnesota Timberwolves and worked under McKinney. After an assistant coaching stint with the Los Angeles Clippers and two terms with the Detroit Pistons, which included seven 50-win seasons, two trips to the NBA Finals and a 2004 NBA Championship during his seven years as Vice President of Basketball Operations, Hammond was named the Bucks General Manager on April 11, 2008.
Hammond is the first Bucks General Manager in franchise history to win the Executive of the Year award. He made a number of effective moves this year, including drafting point guard Brandon Jennings, signing Ersan Ilyasova along with Jerry Stackhouse and trading for Carlos Delfino and John Salmons, which helped the Bucks earn their first playoff berth since 2006 and amass 46 wins during the regular season, a 20-game improvement from the team he took over in 2008.

people seem to have short memories...
previous management tried to add skill by overpaying (either in trade/UFA signings) for guys like 2nd tier(or worse) offensive guys Tanguay, Lang, Gomez, Cammalleri, Gionta... and how did that work out?
this management team decides to focus on improving another much lacking area in our organization, and does so without giving up any assets, adding 3 character guys known for being respected in the locker room & tough to play against in their specific roles, and doing so for less than what any of those failed attempts at adding skill cost us...
and now their complaining (despite defending ad nauseum those previous failures)?
It's called having a plan, and the patience to make it happen step by step, with relatively low risk decisions that won't hurt the team if they fail... then once you've built up the right infrastructure, the right culture, THEN you go make the big splash "home run" type move, so that even if it does fail, you don't wind up with a basement dwelling team.
i guess some people just don't like reasoned and rational approaches to building

Store and organize over 36 tools for easy access and more floor space with this tool rack from Rubbermaid. The tool
tower stores rakes, brooms, snow shovels, and gas-powered weed eaters for easy access and more floor space in the garage
or shed. Front clips allow head-down storage of spades and brooms to simplify access and so that the rack doesn't get
top heavy. The clips also enable easy slide-in storage from the side, rather than having to come in from above and
sliding the handle into the slot. Four castors mean easy transport of all those tools from one place to another--a
feature that makes it easy to relocate all those tools in one easy move, rather than 36 moves. Two of the casters lock
to keep the unit in place. The base of the tower has a grid pattern to keep tools from sliding off. --Brian D. Olson

Ministry with a Servant's Heart
As Presbyterians, we share our faith with all Christians in every denomination.
We believe:
- God is all powerful, Sovereign, Holy and eternal. Everything God does is sinless and absolutely pure.
- God sent Jesus into this world as God in the flesh.
- Salvation is by grace alone. We are saved by grace through faith. All are sinful by nature and have fallen short of the Glory of God. Because we cannot make ourselves righteous to God, salvation has to be by only grace.
- The Bible is the Word of God, and is God's self-revelation. God has revealed to us everything He wills us to know.
We believe that God sent Jesus to be crucified on the cross to take our sins upon Him. Because God is just, He cannot allow sin to go unpunished. So Jesus Christ became our sin on the cross and bore the punishment of God to satisfy God's justice. Because our sin was punished in Jesus Christ, now through faith in Jesus Christ, God reconciles us to God and gives us new life by His grace alone.
All glory be to God.
You are God's workmanship,
created in Christ to do good works!

The questions about the offensive line's ability to protect the quarterback still haven't been answered as the Bears begin preparation for the regular-season opener Sunday.
Jay Cutler was sacked five times while playing just the first half against the Raiders in Game 2. The following week, he was dropped four times in two and a half quarters against the Cardinals. In the last preseason game, backup Todd Collins, playing the first half with the first team, was sacked just once.
Improvement? Maybe. But the spotlight will continue to focus on that group, which figures to have new starters at four of the five positions compared to opening day 2009. A year ago, left tackle Chris Williams was at right tackle and left guard Roberto Garza was at right guard. Right tackle Frank Omiyale was at left guard, and right guard Lance Louis was on the bench. The only constant is center Olin Kreutz. The shuffled line hasn't jelled yet, but it must soon. That group is the key to the offense.
"Offensive linemen are at a premium," general manager Jerry Angelo conceded, "but it's not that you have to have five all-stars. You have to have five guys who are good enough to play well together. That's the key to good offensive line play. The continuity of having those same five play together is critical. That's what we need to do." ...
By now, 5-7, 186-pound running back Garrett Wolfe knows a lot about beating the odds as a little man in a big man's game, and he appears to have come out on top again with a spot on the 53-man roster.
"I've been blessed beyond my wildest imagination," Wolfe said, as he prepares for his fourth season with the Bears. "I'm just happy to still have the opportunity to be here and compete at a high level and do the things necessary to earn a living."
It was assumed throughout training camp and the preseason that either Wolfe or Kahlil Bell would not make the final roster with Matt Forte and Chester Taylor slated to get the vast majority of the rushes and receptions in the backfield. But both have survived, which didn't shock Wolfe.
"Kahlil came out and practiced hard and prepared as well as I did," he said. "The numbers aren't something we can worry about. I know Kahlil wasn't worried about it, and it wasn't something I thought about. All we could do is go out and do the things necessary. We did a good job of that."
Wolfe's outstanding special-teams play is always a factor when it comes to final cuts. Before he missed the final eight games last season because of a lacerated kidney, Wolfe was tied for third on the team with nine special-teams tackles. The injury, which kept him bed-ridden and hospitalized for a week, gave Wolfe a greater appreciation for the basics.
"The simple things in life are very precious," he said. "Being able to walk or run, that's something that was taken away from me in an instant. Just having an opportunity to come out and run around and feel like an athlete again, it was something that I really take a lot of pride in. I'm happy that I can do those things again." ...
Although the Bears cut sixth-round pick Dan LeFevour Saturday, they were hoping to add him to their practice squad Sunday.
But the Cincinnati Bengals claimed the rookie from Downers Grove with the idea of developing him behind starter Carson Palmer and his brother Jordan Palmer. The Bengals chose to go with LeFevour rather than veteran J.T. O'Sullivan.
Because of the right shoulder injury to No. 2 quarterback Caleb Hanie, the Bears were forced to sign Collins, a 38-year-old veteran, and keep both backups on the final 53-man roster, giving them three QBs, one more than they kept active last year. The Bears could not afford to keep a fourth passer on the active roster at the expense of another position.
