"In essence, science is a perpetual search for an intelligent and integrated comprehension of the world we live in."
-Cornelius Bernardus Van Neil (1897-)
The Department of Chemistry, Geosciences, and Environmental Science at Tarleton State University is fortunate to be the recipient of a Chemistry Departmental Research Grant from The Robert A. Welch Foundation of Houston, Texas. A portion of these funds is used to provide undergraduate students with stipends to assist in this research.
Five faculty members are currently involved in basic chemical research projects sponsored by this grant. They are Dr. Peter Bell (Organic Chemistry), Dr. Stephen Field (Geochemistry), Dr. Arthur Low (Theoretical Chemistry), Dr. Harold Rathburn (Biochemistry), and Dr. Linda Schultz (Inorganic Chemistry).
Dr. Linda D. Schultz
Research in my lab has involved several different projects, as listed below:
- Alkali Metal Polytellurides in Nonaqueous Solvents
- Alkali Metal Polyselenides in Nonaqueous Solvents
- Determination of solvent purity using quantitative NMR (QNMR)
- Submission of Student Projects for Publication to: <i>Journal of Chemical Education
Dr. Arthur Low
During the summer of 2007, I collaborated with Dr. Tom Cundari of University of North Texas performing solid state theoretical calculations on models of TCNQ complexes of platinum using the Crystal software package.
I have also begun work on a paper involving the dimetallic complexes of cyclopentadienyl metal complexes with bridging nitrosyls and carbonyls. The focus of the paper will be the nature of the direct metal-metal interaction in these complexes using the theory of atoms in molecules (AIM) and difference density plots. I am currently working with an undergraduate student (Owen Howard) on producing the difference density plots.
Dr. Peter Bell
Solid Supported O-alkyl isourea: One of our research projects involves the development of a mild, environmentally friendly solid supported medium for alkylation of carboxylic acids to afford esters. This methodology can be extended to alkylation of other suitable species such as amines, sulfur and phosphorous nucleophiles among others.
Quantitative NMR Experiment Development: In conjunction with Dr. Linda Schultz, we have developed and implemented quantitative 1H-NMR experiments to assess the purity/composition of common organic solvents in D2O. Solvents studied include acetone, ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, dimethylformamide, and tetrahydrofuran. The best internal standard studied has been dimethylsulfoxide.
Dr. Stephen Field
This year a research article titled "Diffusion, discontinuous precipitation, metamorphism, and etasomatism: The complex history of South African upper-mantle symplectites was completed. It was published in the Journal American Mineralogist, Volume 93, pages 618-631, 2008.
I am currently writing a research article on a symplectite in an eclogite recovered from the Roberts Victor Mine in South Africa. The paper's title is "A corundum-kyanite-garnet symplectite and the growth of garnet in an aluminous eclogite from the Roberts Victor Kimberlite, South Africa". The paper will be submitted to the Journal "Geology" in September or October of 2008.
Dr. Harold Rathburn
Since Green and Ryan (1972) first suggested a defensive function for trypsin inhibitors (TI) found in plants, a body of evidence has indicated that this relationship does indeed exist. Studies have assayed TI as a component in artificial diets against insect larvae, resulting in reduced larval weight. Transformation of crops with TI genes from other plants has been successful (Hilder et al.,1987; Johnson et al., 1989), favoring the hypothesis of Green and Ryan (1972). Sesbania vesicaria (Jacq.) Ell. (Leguminosae), a legume native to the coastal states, including Texas, has been reported to be toxic to livestock (Kingsbury, 1964). The existence and possible role of TI in Sesbania sp. toxicity has never been explored.

Mr. Speaker, it is going to be significant. NEXUS is a good example where we actually have NEXUS lanes that do not even have staffing or NEXUS lanes at certain times where the staff are pulling every vehicle aside and actually checking them which defeats the whole purpose. There are also NEXUS lanes where people cannot get their car to because there is not enough space in the physical part of the actual border. Therefore, a lot of work needs to be done.
On the reciprocal point, which I did not get a chance to get into and it is really important, the government really has not woken up to this yet. We have the summer coming which is a challenge. I know right now that border and customs availability is diminishing and we are going to have longer lineups coming into Canada which is going to create a significant problem.
Before we would have students at certain border points that were trained and were part of the border process, interviewing people entering the country. Those positions are being eliminated as well and there has not been a backfill of them. Therefore, we have a significant problem coming up with not having the proper customs facilities at the border points and it is being raised by businesses already.

Alfresco Launches Rapid Web Site Development Tool
Alfresco Web Studio delivers easy, user-driven site design, development, and collaboration
LONDON—January 21, 2009 — Alfresco Software, Inc. today announced the availability of Alfresco Web Studio a visual, drag-and-drop designer for building web sites with the Alfresco Surf platform. Using Alfresco Web Studio, business users can quickly create custom web sites while leveraging the strengths of the Alfresco Web Content Management (WCM) runtime and repository. Alfresco Web Studio is available as part of the new Alfresco Labs 3d release and can be downloaded at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_Labs
Alfresco Web Studio broadens the ability for more people inside a company to build sites and web pages with a drag-and-drop visual editing tool. Users can browse a library of Alfresco Web Components and visually assemble their web experience, rapidly building web site's pages, navigation structure, templates, and presentation layout. Web components snap into web site pages through simple drag-and-drop interactions. The benefit of this approach is that business users have the flexibility to rapidly develop web sites in collaboration with colleagues while content is managed in a robust enterprise scale repository with secure editing, approvals, deployment, and audit of content creation and modification.
Alfresco's WCM solution now incorporates the following three elements:
- Alfresco WCM - an enterprise-class content creation platform and repository;
- Alfresco Surf - a web application and site assembly framework for developers; and,
- Alfresco Web Studio - a graphical design and site assembly tool for business users.
In addition to simple, rapid development and deployment, Alfresco Web Studio supports business user driven site development in the following ways:
- Project Control and Autonomy: Enables freedom for business users to test, experiment and deploy, avoiding technical resource bottlenecks;
- Enterprise Scale Content Repository Support: A robust back-end architecture to avoid scalability, growth, management, and compliance issues as the sites develop and expand;
- Configurable Web Components: Pre-built configurable components to build a web site (such as html, image, list, and navigation components). The open gadget architecture enables other open source and open-standards vendor components to be consumed and provisioned. For example all Google Gadgets can be used as components; and,
- Collaborative Site Design and Management: An open system to build multiple pages and sites with multiple contributors maximizing opportunities for content re-use and collaboration.
"Alfresco has always recognized the value of providing a solution combining both a Content Production System (CPS) and Presentation Management System (PMS). Initially our focus was on implementing the CPS and now with the launch of Web Studio we are able to deliver PMS functionality to the Alfresco WCM platform," said John Newton, CTO of Alfresco Software. "Alfresco Web Studio puts the full-breadth of Alfresco Collaboration, Document Management, and Web Content Management functionality at users fingertips. It also opens the doors for Web Component provisioning from other open source and open-standards vendors such as Google Gadgets."
Alfresco has seen major adoption of its open source ECM system throughout the world. Alfresco Labs is designed to be the research "Community Lab" for new features, enabling developers to access a nightly build with the latest functionality. There have been over 1.5 million downloads of Alfresco Labs. The company also has more than 700 enterprise customers, including the NYSE, Los Angeles Times, Boise Cascade, Sony Pictures, Activision, Kaplan, FedEx and KLM.
Alfresco Web Studio is available as part of the new Alfresco Labs 3d release and can be downloaded at: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_Labs

From Chris Burkart
"Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb" (if I was going to get into trouble, I might as well go for the gusto, because small or big crime, I would be in trouble either way).
"You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's (pig's) ear."
From David Scheid
This was reportedly said by my father's maternal grandmother - Don't know the German version - it was said in dialect.
From Vera Beljakova-Miller
"You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" I believe comes from Shakespeare. Russians are keen on Shakespeare and adopt many saying from him, then maybe the Germans heard it and translated it - then retranslated it back into english thinking they are Russian or German sayings.
Here we need the input of a language professor.
Words of Endearment, Frustration & Reprimand
From Gary Less
Words of reprimand:
du schlamassel - I never was sure what this meant,
the German dictionary says it means "mess"
du schameel (phonetic spelling) - I didn't know what this meant either but it came across as not very complimentary. I could not find it in the German dictionary. Perhaps someone can define it.
du schafkopf - sheeps head
du kleina schlingel - This was one of my Mom's favorite expressions, it means "you little rascal".
Words of frustration:
I hope I am not offending someone but both Ma and
Pa (that is what we called them) had words of frustration when something
didn't go their way. The English translation doesn't make much sense.
henne wetter - hen weather
donner wetter - thunder weather
drei tausend - three thousand
On occasion stronger words were used by Pa, but I won't repeat them here for fear of censorship.
Words of endearment:
schatz - darling or treasure
liebling - darling
These words were heard a lot when Pa was talking to Ma, which to me is an indication that they truly loved each other.
Please don't get me wrong, both of my parents were kind loving people that thought the world of their kids. They both immigrated from the Volhynia area and were hard working farmers with six children to raise during the depression years in Nebraska.
Pa's mother died when he was an infant. His father soon remarried and he was raised by a strict and cruel stepmother. It was said that she kept the food locked away in the pantry from the children. The oldest brother was so angry at that lock that he took a knife and cut it away so the smaller children could get proper food to eat. Pa always told us that he would never treat his children the way that his stepmother treated him and he never did. The times we were called a schlamassel or a schlameel, we probably deserved it.
From Valerie Renner Ingram
As we kids got older and UNDERSTOOD what she was saying, we would think of answers to use against this remark of hers. About 7 years ago, her sister made her first trip to the United States from Germany for a visit. We had just returned from picking up "Aunt Dora" from the airport, and mom was running around trying to make her feel welcome. Aunt Dora knew that none of us grown children spoke alot of German anymore, but that we could easily understand it. Mom asked if I wanted to stay and eat dinner with them, and I replied "No"....her response of "lec katz im aush" followed and Aunt Dora was stunned! Before I could stop myself I had answered "aw...hund's furtze"...(oh, dog's farts).
My poor aunt just about fell out of her chair!....She came over to me and said "NO, no, no,.....my last name is Holtzfurtner...not hund's furtze!!!!" She thought I was trying to pronounce her last name!!!
Kinship Terms
From Roland M. Wagner
Most of the variations in kinship terminology seem to focus on the collateral lines -- aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews.
Standard dictionaries list the following terms for "cousin" -- der Vetter, der Cousin (die Cousine), and die Base. "Uncle" is shown as der Onkel, and "aunt" as die Tante.
However, in my dad's dialect (from Rastadt and Muenchen in the Beresan), he always referred to his uncles as "Vetter" (pronounced like "Fedda"), and aunts as "Base." Cousins were collectively referred to as "Cousine," or individually by gender as "Vetterle" (a male cousin, lit. a "little uncle"), or "Baesle" (a female cousin, lit. a "little aunt").
I am curious if others on this list remember how kinship terms were used in their families. What variations do you recall?
From Don Wolf
From Valerie Renner Ingram
It was very confusing to us as we were growing up because we never really knew who was REALLY related to us, and who was just a friend of the family!!
From Allyn Brosz
From Sean McGinnis
This would be the Katharinenstadt dialect, if there is such a thing.
From Roland M. Wagner
There are some interesting variations that translators should be aware of, esp. involving terms for aunts, uncles, and cousins. "Vetter" can mean either "uncle" or "cousin" (and, as Valerie pointed out, it was even applied to friends in some cases). Aunts were referred to either as "Tante" or "Base" ("Wes" is an obvious variant).
Tim Kloberdanz gives a good overview in his master's thesis, which I am supplementing a bit:
Standard German German-Russian Variants Uncle Onkel Vetter; Onkel Aunt Tante Base; Wees; Weesja; Dande Male Cousin Cousin; Vetter Halbbruder; Vetterle Female Cousin Cousine; Base Halbschwester; BaesleTerminology for other relatives (nieces, nephews, siblings, etc.) seems to have been pretty standard in the German colonies, except for affinals (in-laws).
Two of you mentioned an interesting pattern of putting the terms at the end of the name -- "Annawes," "Emmatante," etc. This differs from the way it was done in my family, where terms were always used before the name -- e.g., aunt Magdalena was "Bas Machdlena." Valerie also mentioned that in her family, they had "Vetter Hannes," "Base Anna," etc. Valerie's family came from Speier, and my grandfolks also came from the Beresan colonies, so perhaps that was the predominant pattern in that area.
I recall that it was customary when referring to someone, to put his surname or kin term first, preceded by an article -- e.g., "uncle Ludwig" would be "d' Vedda Ludwig"; my grandfather Adam Wagner was "d' Wachna Adam."
Any other memories about variants in linguistic patterns would be appreciated.

Almost every single science fiction theme that exists has received some manner of brain-detonating dancefloor remix, but one-hit wonder Mankind's reworking of the Doctor Who theme in 1978 was actually solid. Pair it with "Doctorin' the TARDIS" next time you invite some Ice Warriors over for, uh, Ice Warrior food.
BONUS #1: "Doctor in Distress," the completely unlistenable charity single featuring instrumentation from none other than Hans Zimmer!
BONUS #2: Jaws funk, Alien disco, and (as a non-science-fiction bonus track I've been enjoying lately) the sleaziest cover of The Godfather theme ever recorded.

Community call to prayer Thursday
Prayers will be sent from the third floor of the Howard County Courthouse on Thursday. A community call to prayer has been organized for 12:10 p.m. "We don't need our pastors to organize this," Justice of the Peace Kathryn Wiseman said. "This needs to come from the people."The scripture being used in support of the call to prayer is 2 Chronicles 7:13-15; "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."Praying will be the only thing taking place during this gathering. Several community leaders will be on hand leading prayers with time alloted for individuals who wish to add their own prayers. "We will be praying for rain during this call to prayer. We desperately need it," Wiseman said. "We are a Christian nation. We need to rise up and show God that we are a Christian nation."Wiseman also noted that those attending the Day of Prayer observance may want to take the opportunity to cast an early ballot in the May 12 school board, council and 4B project elections. If so, they should bring identification. Voting will be taking place on the third floor as well.

*** (out of four)
You could see Henry's (Dennis Quaid) lament of, "Why are my children sabotaging me?" as another way of saying, "What's the matter with kids today?"
Director/co-writer Ramin Bahrani's ("Goodbye Solo") aching "At Any Price," however, doesn't rely on musty staples of uptight parents and punk kids. Rather, this drama about how chasing your dream can involve chasing someone else away from theirs blends old-fashioned, blue-collar work with the modern reluctance of new generations to follow in the family footsteps.
Henry owns an Iowa farm and prides himself on being the No. 1 Liberty seed salesman in seven counties. He inherited his land from his dad, who inherited it from his dad, and would love for his eldest son Grant to take over. Not happening; the ex-football star's more interested in climbing mountains in Argentina. Henry mostly grumbles about his younger son Dean (Zac Efron), who'd rather race cars than take over a farm. While Henry schmoozes Dunder Mifflin-style with current and lost customers, trying to follow the 21st century agriculture maxim of "expand or die," Dean pursues a contract that can keep him afloat and behind the wheel--anywhere but at home with a dad whose disappointment sometimes shines brighter than his love.
More perceptive than "There Will Be Blood" or the recent "Promised Land," "At Any Price" achieves an ideal sense of place, where a small community isn't all innocence and sweetness. Long attuned to the details of work, Bahrani ("Man Push Cart," "Chop Shop") presents open space in more ways than one, an emptiness that reads as either opportunity or desolation depending on your perspective. Henry fears letting down his father (Red West of "Goodbye Solo") and cheats on his wife Irene (Kim Dickens) with Meredith (Heather Graham), possibly an extension of being told for years, "When a man stops wanting, a man stops living." Dean, meanwhile, enjoys his girlfriend Candace (Maika Monroe), who's brighter than most give her credit for, but has no greater priority than avoiding the professional fate that could be passed down to him.
The script spells things out too bluntly—Irene asks Henry, "Why can't you be happy with what's right in front of you?," admittedly a fair question—and takes a misguided spin toward disaster. Still, Bahrani turns even stock characters like Meredith into symbols of misdirected ambition. Both Quaid and Efron are exceptional, particularly when Dean's biggest race puts a complex blend of terror and excitement in the pair's eyes. It's a scary, exhilarating trade-off.

Probus, Latin in full Marcus Aurelius Probus, (born ad 232, Sirmium, Pannonia [now Sremska Mitrovica, Vojvodina, Serb.]—died 282, Sirmium), Roman emperor from ad 276 to 282.
The son of a Balkan military officer, Probus served with distinction in the army and apparently was eastern praetorian prefect when his troops proclaimed him emperor in opposition to Florian, who was soon killed by his own men. Probus's reign was spent in continual frontier warfare against hostile tribes on the Rhine and Danube, complicated by insurrections in Britain, Gaul, and the East. His policy of allowing outside tribes to settle within the empire proved dangerous.
Fourth-century writers attest to his intense interest in agriculture. He encouraged the planting of vineyards in Gaul, Spain, and Britain and was evidently killed by troops who resented his strict discipline and their being detailed to agricultural reclamation work in the Balkans.

English explorer and colonist John Smith named the state for the Massachuset tribe. Boston, the state capital, was a hotbed of activity, including the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party, during the American Revolution. In addition to its revolutionary spirit, the state is known for sparking the American Industrial Revolution with the growth of textile mills in Lowell, and for its large Irish-American population.

The Dumplings the Czech and the V Train
Friday Night, Preston, 6:00pm, Face deep in pig livers and soup dumplings; Cam Woolcock recieves a phone call.
"It's Sir Stuart Vaughan, he has two spare tickets to the track world cup tonight"
"Shit yes!"
So after hoovering our food in record fashion we saddled up and raced down high street and punt road to see the last two hours of track racing.
A summary:
-Elimination races are hilarious to watch. It's like a pantomime on wheels, so much fun. We need more!
-Anna Meares is huge and muscly. Pretty amazing athlete!
-Chris Hoy is even huger and muscly-er. Terrifying almost.
-Not a massive crowd, maybe the ticket prices were a touch steep? No infield bar? Hell, the Melbourne Cup on Wheels on Friday has my vote, more racing AND the infield bar. Nice.
So fast forward twenty four hours and I am cruising down beach road at midday and I see a guy kitted up in the Czech Republic colours with calves bigger than my head (ego included), oh shit, he must be a trackie! And yep, he was racing the night before so a convo ensued;
Czech- " Oh hi, you race much at all, I see you have Belgique bike" (reference to my Museeuw bike)
Me- "Oh yeah but just on the road, not on the track, you race track yeh?
Czech- "Yeh I racing the World Cup on the Track, you know it"
Me- "Of course, I was watching you finish the omnium last night, making you race the kilo TT when aleady out of the medals is cruel, that looked so hard!"
Czech- "Oh its very shit, so f**king hard, I want it over"
skip some boring convo
Czech- "Oh I see your team, Marco Polo, you know Pavel Stuchlik from Czech Republic?" (Pavel was a stagiare with our team this year, having lived with him for a month you could say I know him!)
Me- "Yes of course I know him!"
Czech- "*laughter* In Czech Republic we all one big family, everyone friend"
And we jabbered on some more, enjoying the sun and warm weather. His program sounds a bit bloody strenuous. 27 hours flying down to Australia, racing two days later, finish two days of non stop omni-liscious circular agony then jump back on the plane for 27 hours to the Czech Republic. Train outdoors* in the Snow for a week, then jump on the plane for a good 30 hours of travel to the next World Cup in Columbia. Try telling this guy that globalisation of cycling is a good thing!
*Note, I asked him about training indoors versus outdoors in winter and he said, "I train outdoors all the time unless really snow, I f**king hate, how do you say, yes ergometer, argh, so shit." I concur my good man, I concur.
But I love in this network how someone always knows someone who knows someone else who knows you. I guess we are just one big family. Group hug anyone?
And to finish a big thanks to the V-Train for those tickets. What a legend, the guy never stops giving (also turn off your sarcasm meter because I am being serious here). And his even better half, Wiki-Tills*, was there of course.
*Matilda can hereby be known as Wiki-Tills because she knows everything about the track. Everything!
Ride Time.

If you want to follow this guy round the world in his results his name is Jan DostalReplyDelete
Has definitely been awesome running into national kits all over Melbourne this week. And completely concur on The V-Train\Wiki-Tills combo (can we call them V-Tills??). Just popped into the world cup for a few mins yesterday on the way home from a Wiggles concert with Miss 3, and ran smack bang into V-Tills straight away. V-Train is more than happy to impart his considerable knowledge and commentary of all things track. It was just unfortunate that I'd come during the women's omnium IP heats.....it was like watching triathletes try to ride bikes.ReplyDelete
I was down in the middle for the 3 days - AMAZING!! They are sooooo huge!ReplyDelete
Chris Hoy is massive! I got a picture with him and then the next day I was in the lift with him and OMG just massive! Really nice guy too.
If you want to see a rider who is physically massive check out Carsten Bergemann and the rest of the German sprint team - standing next to him I was only up to his underarms AND his thighs were about two of my legs! OMG I didn't think thighs like that were possible!! Laurie Noonan was holding him for the Team Sprint and had his bum literally in his face when he took off!
I saw you writing down lap times on friday, looked exciting! Is this incase the electronic timing messes up?ReplyDelete
Yup! Always got to have at least one manual timer for backup. Also I think if someone is going for a record (they need to tell you this before they race) the requirement is 3 manual timersReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 6, 2011 at 11:33 PM
Wow cool!! Jan Dostal (and all the other cyclists) training in the snow is hardcore! I was at the Track WC for the 3 days and it was amazing! You're right, they DO have huge muscles! Up close and trackside, so fast!!ReplyDelete

text: Hair disorders are extremely common problems ranging from hair loss to hair fragility to hair overgrowth. Hair loss, or alopecia, may involve genetic abnormalities that lead to hair loss in childhood (example: papular atrichia) or in adulthood (example: male pattern baldness) or non-genetic acquired abnormalities from drugs (example: chemotherapy-induced alopecia), hair care practices (example: hot comb alopecia) or infections (example: fungal-related alopecia or "tinea capitis"). Effective treatment of these conditions requires a correct diagnosis and for this, one should ideally see a dermatologist with expertise in hair problems. A diagnosis will lead to very specific treatment options that then can be discussed with the dermatologist as to cost, potential to reverse versus containing the hair loss or hair overgrowth, and time to response.The following are a series of summations on common hair disorders prepared by experts of the North American Hair Research Society followed by questions our clinician members are frequently asked by patients. This information is meant to extend one's knowledge on the hair disorder or dispel myths or misunderstandings regarding common therapies used in treatment. The comments are in no way meant to substitute for a physician evaluation and diagnosis but instead are meant to augment information already received. The North American Hair Research Society is not responsible for any actions taken by individuals as a result of the following information. No treatment should be initiated or discontinued based on the information imparted here but the reader is specifically referred back to his/her dermatologist/primary physician for further discussion.

Since this summer, a particularly strong monsoon season has caused dangerous floodwaters to raise across Thailand. These waters have killed over 500 people and caused several billion dollars in property damage already. In cities like Bangkok, residents have adjusted to the rising waters by flood-proofing their vehicles in surprising ways and radically altering the urban landscape to stay dry.
The Tumblr Thai Flood Hacks documents how some city dwellers have worked around these ubiquitous waters. With roads covered in water, some urbanites are turning to recycled bottle boats, whereas others are making their motorbikes amphibious. As far as single-serving Tumblrs go, it's definitely one of the more intriguing ones.

Hospice workers have watched patients emerge from comas and cling to life long enough to tell someone they love or forgive them.
This phenomenon of taking care of unfinished business has been observed, but researchers from the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing and the College of Arts and Sciences will begin groundbreaking studies to understand what drives the dying to live long enough to resolve these issues.
With the research data, they will design interventions to help patients in hospice care and families before and after the person passes.
Before now, end of life research primarily focused on making the patient comfortable by easing suffering or discomfort from the illness.
But, the approach of Barbara Daly and Mary Jo Prince-Paul from the School of Nursing and Julie Exline from Arts and Sciences is to relieve psychological distress by marshaling the patient's inner strengths and social connections.
These qualities include the resilient feelings of hope, optimism and connectedness that they mustered to make it through difficult and even life-threatening situations before their terminal illnesses. Marshaling these inner resources has been shown to improve the psychological outlook of healthy people, and the researchers want to find out the benefits for those severely ill.
In the past, researchers have shied away from approaching dying patients with questions, but among the goals of these projects is to give hospice patients options to participate in research. They also will organize a biomedical research group interested in palliative care that focuses on the patients' and family members' inner strength.
Daly, the Gertrude Perkins Oliva Professor of Oncology Nursing at Case Western Reserve and clinical ethics director at University Hospitals Case Medical Center, will establish the BEST Center (Building End-of-Life Science through Positive Human Strengths and Traits) to encourage research and recruit faculty in this area. The National Institute of Nursing Research funds the research.
Over the next year, three faculty members will receive support to concentrate 75 percent of their time on research. Each faculty member will receive $30,000 to launch a new project. As part of the hiring requirements, researchers must have a project ready to begin at their start date.
Approximately 20 faculty members across the Case Western Reserve campus work in the area of end-of-life issues. As one function of the BEST Center, the Palliative Care Education and Research Leadership (PEARL) group will meet regularly with the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas and findings.
"Many people want the end-of-life experience to be meaningful," says Prince-Paul, assistant professor of nursing and hospice nurse at Hospice of the Western Reserve who has worked in hospice and palliative care for nearly 20 years.
With funding from the American Cancer Society, 163 patients ages 18 and older with an advanced cancer diagnosis will participate and test a new communication tool developed by Prince-Paulå. Patients will be interviewed three times over the course of a year or at the time they enter hospice care about what they feel is important. They will see how life goals and key communication expressions, such as love, gratitude, and forgiveness might change.
Prince-Paul explains, when people come face to face with death, hospice care workers have noticed that people want to "clean up" unfinished business.
"At the end of life, people have limited ability and energy to communicate. We need to strategize and capitalize on the time they have to facilitate those things that matter most in their life," says Prince-Paul.
Families sometimes have unresolved issues to settle, too. Exline, a psychologist and associate professor of psychology, and Prince-Paul will lead the study of 200 family members who have someone near the end of life or have died.
Among those issues can be forgiveness. Exline, who has studied forgiving oneself, others and God over the past decade, will survey family members before and after the death of the loved one to see how hospice workers can help them as they undergo the emotional stress of caring for this seriously ill family member and then the challenges of bereavement.
With Fetzer Institute support, Exline will lead the researchers in testing new survey tools to help determine how hospice workers can help family members.
The researchers will collaborate with healthcare workers from the Hospice of the Western Reserve, who will distribute questionnaires for those with a family member in hospice home care. Another group of family members will be interviewed during the bereavement period.
A primary caretaker in the family will answer questions that define some of the issues and emotions experienced at this time. The researchers will start by asking an open-ended question such as "If you had an opportunity to say something to your family member, what would it be?" Other detailed questions will follow.
The researchers will conduct another study during bereavement to assess if there are any unresolved issues with the deceased family member and if there is a continued bond with that family member.
Exline is interested in how people experience struggle and how forgiveness is part of that process.
According to Prince-Paul, the research projects focus on taking this new direction by building on human strengths –even at the time when people may have little resources left.
The researchers plan to take their findings and translate them into practice.

Hi I'm new here, but why were Ken and Tina missing their packs? I first noticed it when they were going up the hill to the eagle clue and saw Dallas and Toni with theirs, but Ken and Tina didn't have theirs. What gives?
Quote from: georgiapeach on November 17, 2008, 12:03:29 AM SD_Mama!! Thanks, I've delurked myself. I'm a relatively new watcher, but have seen a few episodes in the past. This season I've seen all of them b/c I am friends with Ken's daughter.
Us true fans don't judge the contestants by their editing, what we see on the show, personally I think Tina rocks!
I would love to know how Tina got the green powder out of her hair! Still, even with green hair, shes a beauty. And Ken is very very handsome, I can only imagine their children are just as beautiful. I have Tina as a friend on facebook book but do not feel right snooping through pictures, so I don't, is that silly?

VANCOUVER, Wash. - California State-San Marcos and Shorter's (Ga.) Justyna Mudy defended their national titles by winning the team and individual championships at the 31st Annual Women's Cross Country National Championships Saturday at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.
All five of California State-San Marcos' runners placed among the top 50 to total 88 points for its second team title in as many years. Biola (Calif.) was the runner-up for the second-straight year with 127 points. Black Hills State (S.D.) took third with 151 points and was followed by Malone (Ohio) with 164 points and Simon Fraser (B.C.) with 177 points to round out the top-five teams.
"I really have to hand it to the girls today," California State-San Marcos head women's cross country coach Steve Scott said. "They really performed above and beyond my expectations. I told them it was between us, Biola (Calif.) and Azusa Pacific (Calif.), and all of the three teams could win. To win by this margin really shows how well we were today. For a team to repeat, it is very difficult. For the girls to live up to the expectations, it's unbelievable. I couldn't' be more proud."
The Cougars were paced by junior Caitlin Villarreal, sophomore Kelly Thompson and junior Carol Schryver, as the trio captured All-America honors. Villarreal placed 14th with a time of 18:18, followed by Thompson at 27th in 18:30 and Schryver at 30th in 18:33.
"The girls performed better than last year, they had outstanding performances today," Scott said. "Katie [Villarreal] ran her best race of the season."
California State-San Marcos entered Saturday's race not only as the reigning National Champion, but as the top-ranked team. The Cougars have been listed in the No. 1 spot on the NAIA Women's Cross Country Coaches' Top 25 Poll for three-consecutive weeks.
"Coming into today being the defending National Champion and ranked No. 1 is the hardest thing to do," Scott said. "I am just as happy, if not happier this year because the girls had to overcome stress and pressure. They did a fabulous job."
Shorter senior Justyna Mudy defended her individual crown by completing the 5K course in 17:42. She finished four seconds ahead of runner-up Karlee Coffey, a sophomore from Eastern Oregon (17:46). The top-five finishers were within 11 seconds of each other. Rounding out the top-five were Grand View's (Iowa) Obsie Birru in third (17:51), Erin Curran of Black Hills State (S.D.) in fourth (17:52) and fifth-place finisher Lauren Jimison of Azusa Pacific (17:53).
"Repeating was hard, but this one is more special," Mudy said. "After my injury [during the outdoor season], I was talking to Coach [Stephenson] and I told him I wanted to shoot for second, because I didn't feel like I could repeat. The offseason was hard for me and I didn't feel like I would be able to do it again. Everyone was helping me; my coaches and all of the fans that were yelling along the way. I am glad that this race over, but I am upset because it is my last cross country race. I don't know if I deserve this because I didn't expect to win."
Mudy's victory made her just the fifth woman in the event's history to repeat as the National Champion. The last individual to win back-to-back titles was Mirriam Kaumba of Oklahoma Baptist in 2003 and 2004. Mudy won her first title with a time of 17:30.
"Knowing that I am only the fifth woman to repeat, wow, that makes me even more thankful," Mudy said. "I am so glad that I was able to win both titles on the same course."
She caps off her senior campaign on the cross country course with a third-straight top-five finish. As a sophomore, she placed third in the championship that was held at the Wayne E. Dannehl Cross Country Course in Kenosha, Wis.
The 2010 National Championships were hosted by the Cascade Collegiate Conference and Concordia (Ore.). It was the second-consecutive year that the event has been held at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.

alt: I have family from Harveysburg that are probably descended from a Cartwright marriage to a Singleton.
Khathu: then when one tries to explain the process to them, they think you don't know what you are talking about.
alt: not sure Khathu, but it's kinda like jumping into the deep end of the pool and not knowing how to swim. now that goes with the territory Khathu..... us older, or more seasoned genealogists just have to step back and let them make their own mistakes before they realize you might know what you're talking about

AYWalton: Good afternoon, all.
alt: hello AYWalton
Seventies: Hi AYWalton
alt: ou & how are you doing?
AYWalton: Howdy alt, Khathu, Mizz Selma, Seventies. Fighting allergies but doing ok otherwise. Plus using my laptop today so I can type. Last night I signed on using my Kindle to see how it would work. It was a bit clumsly but it worked.
vkn: Will be sharing the Lincoln dvd in my building this afternoon
AYWalton: sounds good, vkn.
alt: popcorn & soda pop allowed vkn?
Selma: Afternoon AY
vkn: popcorn only lol
AYWalton: make that buttered popcorn. lol
Khathu: Hello Selma and AYWalton
AYWalton: greetings Selma!
Selma: It worked but your spelling was awful AY.. LOL
AYWalton: LOL yes that was frustrating as you know I like correct spelling. Selma--quick question---any members of your group researching Portsmouth VA?
Selma: Yes..
AYWalton: I was at the archives on Tuesday looking at service records of Civil War Nurses. I am trying to compile a list of black nurses, beginning with the letter A for surnames. Came across two ladies who served an entire 3 years, which was rare. Usually I see some who served a few months in any given year.
Selma: Where did they serve?
AYWalton: And I wonder if they were most likely sisters.
alt: that would be a valuable and informative listing AYWalton
AYWalton: They served at the USA Hospital in Portsmouth VA.
Selma: Ok...
AYWalton: And both were listed as colored nurses. Last name was Archer. Lucy and Fances Archer. I am going through their service cards, which is most likely the only record of them and their service. Most women of color were flagged. The documents are service records of Nurses, Matrons, Laundresses and Cooks. Usually I see 3 or 4 service cards, reflecting a few months service and that's all.
vkn: Good searching and finding y'all and be good
alt: intersting AYWalton, were they associated with other than USCT units?
AYWalton: Ok vkn. No association with any unit they were associated with hospitals. Some were Freedman hospitals,
alt: okay AYWalton .....
AYWalton: some were contraband hospitals and others were US or USA Hospitals. (probably in the "colored" ward is my guess. But I plan to go through all seven boxes from A to Z to pull out any and all that were identified as colored staff. Whether they were nurses, matrons, laundresses or cooks---I want to compile their names.
alt: great AYWalton !!!!!!
AYWalton: I don't think that there is such a list posted any place online. And we need to have this kind of information out there!
Selma: Not necessarily on only colored wards.
AYWalton: Possibly, though I am not certain how many wounded---even with all of their pain would want colored hands touching them.
Selma: There were a number of "colored nurses" who worked at the Confederate Hospital in Richmond
AYWalton: I know that in a video I saw about WWII black nurses, they were interviewed and cursed out by white patients wanting no black hands touching them. but it is interesting to learn in what capacity for sure. I also saw a few names of women who were possibly white working in a Freedman's hospital. Not sure if the norms of the day would have allowed many/any white women tending to black wounded men. But who knows. I have to educate myself about the topic more.
alt: Deborah Abbot did an article on AA WW I nurses from Camp Sherman in Chillicothe, OH.
AYWalton: sounds interesting, alt. and of course with the Civil War era--the perceptions of race and color were even more rigid, as people of color were often not viewed as people, so I would love to know more of what these women endured.
alt: google Bertha Allen Cole WW I nurse.
AYWalton: and men--as the ledger I found also had a few men as nurses. I shall, alt. Khathu what was the reference made last night about your find with the Cartwrights?
Selma: Is the hospital they worked in in Portsmouth AY

AYWalton: it was called US Hospital--I guess distinguishing it as a Union Army hospital, and not a confederate one.
Khathu: here is the link: http://www.afrigeneas.com/forum-fpoc/index.cgi/md/read/id/11442
alt: link to AA nurse in WW I
AYWalton: let me pull the record, selma Ok Selma, it was called Balfour U.S.A. General Hospital, in Portsmouth VA They served all of 1863, 1864 and 1865. I have never seen anyone who served that long. They must have been really good, really respected and truly needed. Lucy Archer was also made a matron. Does the name of the hospital sound familiar, Selma? I tried to find them in the Portsmouth area in 1870, but had no luck. Perhaps they had relocated elsewhere after the war. Lucy Archer and Frances Archer.
Selma: Not to me but probably to 2 folks who I know research Portsmouth.. plus there is a map of that area which might include thelocation
AYWalton: It does make one wonder about the people who may have tended to the wounds of black soldiers.
Selma: I wrote the info down AY
AYWalton: Ahhh..............you have a good map, Selma?
Selma: Have to go look and find and see if it is from that time period
AYWalton: would love to know more about it.
Selma: Ok
AYWalton: Plus whether they continued to work as nurses after the war would be interesting.
alt: Khathu, it didn't take the Cartwright's long to disappear as AA's in the Warren County, Oh Census records.... they ar listed mostly and probably incorrectly as 'white' i later census years.. so they must have been very fair in color.
AYWalton: Would be great to find some descendants of these ladies.
Seventies: gotta run y'all. have a good one@
Khathu: they are listed as black in the 1850 census
AYWalton: Well I was just popping in briefly, folks. Gonna work on a blog post today. Have a good one!
alt: I know Khathu in 1860 they are living in the household of Bushrod Singleton.
Khathu: ok
alt: that is Nicodemus and his family
Khathu: Yes, I saw that alt okay, need to prepare something for this potluck at 2pm. talk to you later
alt: later
Selma: Bye..sorry got distracted Talk to you later alt..
alt: okay
Selma: Won't make chat

Scuderia Ferrari Pilota watch in black
Distinguishing this energetic all-black Pilota watch with contrasting iconic Ferrari red details are a sophisticated, informal elegance and an athletic flair inspired by the excitement of the tracks.
The Scuderia Ferrari Pilota watch collection stands out for its racing inspiration, which is combined with sophisticated style. The details illuminating the face of this black ion-plated steel model, whose bezel bears the Scuderia Ferrari logo, are distinctive. The minute and hour hands, the Ferrari Shield at 12 o'clock and a number of hour markers are in a sophisticated gunmetal colour, providing a harmonious contrast with the black background, while the second hand and other counters are in bright Ferrari red. Together, it brings to mind the dashboards of cars. Fitted with a fine black leather strap with contrasting red stitching, the Pilota watch is ideal for adding a discrete touch of athletic grit to every Scuderia Ferrari fan's outfit.
- Leather strap
- Water resistant up to 5 atmospheres underwater
- Composition: 70% Stainless Steel, 30% Soft Leather

Pretty as snow can be, the landscape enshrouded in it for months, devoid of plant life, can quickly become monotonous.
But, not to despair: There are other ways to get a little green in your life in the depths of winter.
Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, for instance, offers several educational, hands-on programs to get you interacting with plants and keep that green thumb of yours in shape in the offseason. (Not to mention that the location itself, with its views of Mount Wachusett and the reservoir, acres of gardens, indoor conservatories, and bouquet of smells and colors, is sure to perk you right up, whatever the weather has to deliver.)
"Gardens and gardening are really great for your overall well-being," said education director Ann Marie Pilch, noting among the benefits are stress relief and exercise.
Also, don't think of gardens as being solely relegated to the warmer seasons. If you plant them right, you can enjoy them all year long.
Such is the focus of a Feb. 1 workshop, "The Garden in Winter." Holliston-based garden designers Jana Milbocker and Joan Butler will emphasize plants that have "winter interest," Pilch explained, such as winterberry hollies with their bursts of red berries, evergreens with their "wide variety of texture and color," "glowing" dogwood shrubs, and other trees with unique and varying barks.
The instructors will also discuss ways to lay out and group trees, shrubs and perennials to create the most dramatic effect.
"The garden can be a magical place in winter," according to the course description.
Or, if you prefer, you can bring the outside in.
In a Feb. 8 class, "Flowering Branches," Nancy Vargas of Southborough-based Le Jardin Blanc will focus on forcing cuttings, such as from forsythia or cherry trees, to bloom indoors.
"You can enjoy them as a pop of early spring," said Pilch.
And it's never too early to start planning for next season's garden.
In "Hypertufa Planter Workshop," also on Feb. 8, for example, participants will create their own planter from cement, peat moss and perlite that they can then use as an outdoor accent. The March 29 "Healthy Lawns, and Lawn Alternatives," on the other hand, will discuss various ways to maintain a lush expanse of grass with minimal environmental impact.
Meanwhile, "Life Cycle Gardening" on March 8 will highlight subtle changes that can make your garden easier to maintain as you age. One example, Pilcher said, is to choose lower-maintenance plants. "It's all about how you can continue to garden as you grow older," she said.
Ultimately, Tower Hill, which opened in 1986 and is operated by the Worcester County Horticultural Society, is underscoring health and wellness for "people, plants and the planet" throughout its programming next year.
Other events will focus on vegetable gardening, sustainable gardening, healthy cooking, yoga, meditation and tai chi. And guided garden tours are held Sundays throughout the year (weather permitting).
Classes range in cost from $15 to $80, and require reservations. Visit www.towerhillbg.org for full details.Taryn Plumb can be reached at email@example.com.

Quote from: Ralph 'Valamir' Mazza
For a thing to exist it must be able to be defined.
It is impossible to define roleplaying games
Therefor role playing games do not exist.
For a conclusion to be true, 1) it must follow from the propositions and 2) the propositions must be true.
I am not convinced that there are not real things which we cannot define.
I am not convinced that it is impossible to define role playing games. Several people have offered definitions which settle the matter in their minds; others are stymied and don't think there can be a definition. By your presentation, that suggests that role playing games exist for some but not for others? Or is it still open as to whether it is possible to define them? Apart from that, the fact that we have thus far failed to define something does not prove it cannot be defined. We're still working on a definition of the universe; no definition thus far seems adequate for everyone. That doesn't mean it can't be defined--only that we have not yet resolved a definition. It's the same with our current situation in regard to role playing games: we haven't agreed upon a definition, but this doesn't mean it can't be defined.
I will admit that if the propositions are correct, the conclusion does follow from them. Mike's post went the wrong way on that. He should have posted something more like:
All cats are green.
Valamir is a cat.
Therefore, Valamir is green.
That would be of the same sort of argument as I think you've made--the conclusion follows quite solidly from the propositions, but the propositions are both in doubt.

Quote from: Jonathan Nichol a.k.a. quozl
M.J.: Well, trivia game have no roles that I can see, so not ALL games are covered under this definition.
I'll admit that when I read this I didn't have an answer; and that this bothered me.
It occurred to me earlier today, when I received an e-mail telling me that someone had again posted to this thread, where the disconnect was. But it may take a bit of a story to convey it.
Before Trivial Pursuit existed, the leading trivia game was probably the Jeopardy Home Game. My gaming group used to play this, before D&D (we didn't stop this when D&D found us, but that's how long ago it was). I think perhaps when one played Jeopardy, one took the role of a contestant in a game show. The same could be said for any of the several other home game versions of television game shows, although Password was the only one I remember playing. (I told you we played all kinds of games.)
This may seem silly. It's a bit like saying when you play a game you take on the role of a player in that game. Yet that is exactly what you do when you play Monopoly, no more and no less: you take on the role of a player in a game.
All games are primarily abstract. Trivial Pursuit is a rules set which sets up certain objectives and means to attain them. Monopoly is a rules set which sets up certain objectives and means to attain them. The difference between the two is not that in the latter you play a role and in the former you do not. The difference is that in the latter the abstract concepts of the game are given an analogy to the concrete by a definition of that role to which we easily relate. What we are doing in the game is still entirely abstract. We are trading one form of game currency for another to improve our position such that we will be better able to acquire the first form of game currency to again use for the second, and so that we will similarly be able to take game currency away from our opponents. It is entirely abstract. We give color to it by dressing up the first currency as money and the second as real estate, and so using the analogy of land barons to describe what we're doing.
Trivial Pursuit does not have so accessible a role; yet it still has a role. We play trivia experts, attempting to prove our greater knowledge of worthless information against our opponents. The difference is not that this is not a role; it's that this role is not easily analogized to something more concrete. We don't have trivia expert as a natural role in our society.
To show the weakness of saying it is therefore not a role, consider an old episode of
. Quinn Malory slid into a universe in which his duplicate was a great player in one of the world's great games, a wild combination of basketball, reversi, and trivia. In the game, a question would be asked with a multipart answer. The team had to pass the ball to a player who could answer that question, stepping from square to square on the board while giving each part, and ending in the square he wished to capture. Mallory was on the cover of Sports Illustrated as the next great athlete in the sport, following in the footsteps of such previous greats as Carl Sagan.
Now, in that world, we could create a board game version of this sport. In it, who gets the ball would be decided perhaps by die roll or perhaps by clicker (the simple form of buzzer used in that Jeopardy game). He would then have to move his playing piece along the board while giving the parts of the answer, winding up on the desired square, and overturning the tokens between. In our world, this would be an extremely abstract game, and all you could say was that you were a player in that game; but in that other world, you would naturally see yourself taking the role of the athletes who play it on national television.
Thus I hold that in all games you "take a role" to the same degree to which you do so in Monopoly and Risk; the difference is solely whether that role relates easily to something concrete within our knowledge of the world. As long as you have game-based objectives which you have agreed to assume as your objectives in play, you are placing yourself in the role necessary to play that game.
And I have many, many times played Monopoly and never once thought of myself as playing a land baron. It was just a board game, and I just did what was necessary in play. I never called any of the other players "Mr. Trump" or "Mr. Top Hat" for that matter. I said, "Bob, you owe me $500 for landing on my property." The role we took was not more than players in a game.

Um, MJ, I gave the wrong correction intentionally because it seemed more humorous to me. I did that because I assumed that Ralph's statement was a joke. I still think that (did you see the smiley). This is also why I suggested that things had gotten silly, and that the thread was done.
Apparently I was wrong, however. The problem, Fang, is that the whole "that which isn't defined by other rules" clause is highly interperable. Nail that down (which apparently I didn't), and you might have something. Maybe the intent idea. So the statement would include something like "there being an intent to leave some area open to interperetation such that these rules regarding credibility and only these rules pertain to the resolution."
In any case, there will be deabte as to whether or not Baraon Munchausen "intends" for the region of play to be left open to interperetation by credibility, or if that's actually being decided by a rule (the rule that says to tell a story).

To those who think they can usefully define roleplaying games in
highly sepcific terms, woh would you classify En Garde, the classic
postal game of swashbuckling and social climbing in pre-revolutionary
You are playing a clearly defined character, yet you only have a very
specific set of actions available that are strictly adjudicated by the
I would say it is clearly a roleplaying game, yet it doesn't conform to
many of the deifnitions presented so far.
