Residence Life
The Office of Residence Life has a strong commitment to create an environment in the residence halls that will assist students in their lifelong growth and development. Effort is made to create an environment that encourages academic excellence, social competence, independence and a sense of community living.
A well-trained staff including two Hall Directors and fourteen Resident Assistants will provide programming, guidance, and support to the residence hall community. When these activities are combined with the active participation of the residents, the halls become more than just places to sleep; they become living and learning environments.
Residence life at DC is more than simply where you live and eat; it is a very real extension of your learning environment and college life. We encourage you to join us as we strive to "defy the ordinary" college living experience.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Defiance College residence life staff is to promote a positive living and learning environment for residential students. The inspiration of this promotion is an active developmental approach taken by staff members toward the residents. Residence life members work with students to develop a sense of community in the halls that allow students to engage with each other, respect each other, and learn from each other to further develop as contributing members of the Defiance College community.
The Office of Residence Life works to foster an exchange of ideas while implementing student developmental and social programs to help students adjust to living on campus. Additionally, both the undergraduate and graduate staff living in the halls works directly with the Office of Residence Life to addresses student conduct concerns and issues negatively affecting the overall residential community. Proper administrative follow-up on behavioral conflicts are the responsibility of residence life staff. Staff members are trained to educate students on policies and encourage each student to take responsibility for their own actions and address issues when appropriate.
The on-campus living options vary from traditional living units to apartment-style suites. In the past, these residential facilities may have been referred to as dormitories. By definition a dormitory is a place for eating and sleeping only. A residence hall offers more extensive living facilities (e.g. lounges, game rooms, study areas, meeting areas, TV rooms and laundry facilities). Also, a residence hall operates with an educational and holistic philosophy that works to positively impacts students during their formative college experience. The on-campus residential communities of McReynolds, Whitney, Jacket Suites and Grand Avenue should be referred to as residence halls (halls for short), not dorms or dormitories.
Diversity and Inclusion Statement
The Residence Life Department at Defiance College is committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for all students of diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to race, culture, nationality, ethnicity, religion, ideas, beliefs, geographic origin, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and expression, ability, age, and veteran status. We recognize that this commitment to diversity and inclusion is a responsibility for everyone. By embracing people with different perspectives, values and backgrounds we enhance how we view the world. The Residence Life Department strongly believes learning not only happens in the classroom, but outside the classroom and we resolve to foster a healthy environment for that learning.

Every year at Advent and Christmas, the Holy Father gives special messages for the season.
Here is 2013's Angelus address:
Dear brothers and sisters, hello!
Today, the first Sunday of Advent, we begin a new liturgical year, that is, a new journey of the People of God with Jesus, our Shepherd, who guides us through history toward the fulfillment of the Kingdom of God. Thus, this day has a special appeal. Through it we experience a profound sense of the meaning of history. We rediscover the beauty of all being on a journey: the Church, with her vocation and mission, and the whole of humanity, nations, civilizations, cultures, all on a journey along the paths of time.
But where is this journey headed? Is there a common goal? And what is this goal? The Lord answers us through the prophet Isaiah and says: "At the end of days the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established as the highest mountain and raised above the hills. All nations shall stream toward it; many peoples shall come and say: 'Come, let us climb the Lord's mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths'" (Isaiah 2:2-3). This is what Isaiah says about where we are going. It is a universal pilgrimage toward a common goal, which in the Old Testament is Jerusalem, where the Lord's temple stands, because from there, from Jerusalem, comes the revelation of the face of God and his law. Revelation found its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, and he himself is the "Lord's temple," the Word made flesh: he is both the leader and the goal of our pilgrimage, of the pilgrimage of the whole People of God; and in its light other peoples too can journey toward the Kingdom of justice, toward the Kingdom of peace. The prophet says further: "They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; one nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again" (2:4). Let me repeat what the prophet says. Listen well: "They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; one nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again." But when will this happen? What a beautiful day it will be when weapons are destroyed to be transformed into tools for work! What a beautiful day that will be! And this is possible! Let us bet on hope, on the hope of peace, and it will be possible!

The Enterprise Web Management team at GSA is pleased to see such an improvement in our ACSI scores
Washington, D.C. (Vocus) March 25, 2008
Citizen satisfaction reached an all-time high for the U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) main Web site, http://www.gsa.gov , as reported in the first quarter 2008 release of the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) E-Government Satisfaction Index.
"We've improved because we're listening to our audience through the ASCI comments and other information sources," said Lurita Doan, GSA Administrator. "It's very gratifying to see that our efforts to focus on the wants and needs of federal agencies, the vendor community and the public are paying dividends in the form of these higher scores."
In the portals/department main sites category, GSA's primary site received a score of 78, tying for first place among the 14 federal government department-level sites that were scored.
The GSA main site's score increased four points over last quarter. "To raise a satisfaction score four points in only one quarter is a remarkable achievement showing GSA's dedication to improving citizen satisfaction," cites the study, published by the National Quality Research Center at the Stephen M. Ross Business School at the University of Michigan.
"The Enterprise Web Management team at GSA is pleased to see such an improvement in our ACSI scores," said Dr. Vicky Moss, Acting Director of GSA's Enterprise Web Management division. "We use this index to determine what improvements we make to gsa.gov; it seems to be working."
Since 1999, the federal government utilizes ACSI as the standard metric for measuring citizen satisfaction.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
- Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
- GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
- GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA's main Web site, http://www.gsa.gov, receives roughly 20 million visits each year.

According to the American College of Phlebology, Venous
Stasis Ulcers affect about 1-2 percent of adults –
approximately 3-6 million people in the United States. They
are 1.5 to 3 times more common in women than in men, and
are the major cause of chronic wounds, occurring in 70 –
90% of chronic wound cases. Such ulcers may lead to
subsequent wound infections, progressive tissue loss,
resulting amputations, morbidity and/or death if left
untreated. Historical data proves that aggressive wound
care management by a wound care specialist can prevent
dire or unacceptable outcomes.
Venous Stasis Ulcers occur when veins in the legs do not
properly pump blood back to the heart. In such cases, blood
tends to pool near the ankle as gravity pulls fluid and blood
downward. Prolonged swelling of the legs and the ankles
causes increased pressure in this area, reducing blood flow
and oxygen delivery to the skin. As a result, skin breakdown
may occur causing an open ulcer of the skin that often
drains moderate to large amounts of fluid. Left untreated,
these wounds may never heal.

cast7326 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 52 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
Salsa Dance Gear
I am an avid salsa dancer. I travel all over the country to take classes, workshops and attend socials where thousands are in attendance and ALL of us love salsa and think about it night and day. My company is Salsa Dance Gear, an e-commerce store for salsa dancers to purchase shoes, t-shirts, dvds, and accessories.
This logo should portray a few things. It should be elegant and at the same time have some street, hip hop type influence.
Elegant - This is what a lot of salsa dancers view the 'scene' as. Ballroom dancing, nice dresses, classy attire, etc. This is the traditional view of salsa. Here is a youtube video with more formal dancing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u65A…re=related
Hip hop/street - There are also many dancers (like myself) that view the 'scene' as more informal, street, just having fun, casual time. Wearing converse old school sneakers and jeans. Here is a youtube video with these more informal dancers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3AV_GIDADA
The logo needs to contain the words "Salsa Dance Gear". You can decide whether it needs to be capitalized, the font stylized, whether it needs different colours or any additional small graphics (people dancing, etc), but keep it relatively simple. The logo needs to look good when placed on the web site and it will also be used in printed materials, online documentation, banners, envelopes and letterheads.
We prefer the colour scheme to contain at least red (but it doesn't have to be limited to that).

A warm slice of apple pie topped with rich, cool, melt-y vanilla ice cream.
That's pretty much all I can think about after reading Sloan's Ice Cream's most-recent press release, which briefly mentions the brand's apple pie-flavored ice cream with apple pie mixed in.
How do they make apple-pie flavored ice cream? I'm not sure, exactly. But the brand is hoping lots of customers from across the U.S. will fawn for it and other treats in the years ahead.
Sloan's Ice Cream shops are designed to evoke Willy Wonka. They're brightly colored and full of sweet treats, including made-in-house chocolates, candies, cookies, brownies and, of course, ice cream. They offer a variety of options to nix that pesky "veto" vote when going out with friends—there's a little something for everybody, they claim.
And according to its director of franchising David Wild, the Palm Beach, Fla.-based brand wants to add 200 franchised units within the next five to seven years.
Yes, you read that right: 200.
While it's not unusual for restaurateurs to cite lofty expansion goals, it certainly helps to have a strategic growth plan in place. Sloan's has one, and as part of it the company signed its first and only Southern California franchisee earlier this week.
The franchisee is Larry Greenberg, a business owner who already has seven Edible Arrangements locations, Wild said. Per the agreement, Greenberg will open five Sloan's locations in Los Angeles and San Diego during the next three and a half years.
"It could very well be faster than that," Wild added. "He has a really great grasp of that area."
Five isn't quite 200, but it's a promising start in a big, warm, ice cream-loving market. As a specialty brand, Sloan's is focusing on metropolitan markets with significant wealth and good weather.
"The Southern California market has a lot of similarities to Southern Florida," Wild said. "You can eat ice cream all year long."
Other target markets for the brands are cold and hot spots: New York, Texas, Atlanta, Northern California and Chicago, he said. The chain currently has four units, all of which are in Florida.
One of the differentiators for Sloan's is its founder: Sloan Kamenstein, a classically trained chef. He founded the first Sloan's location in 1999.
"We created Sloan's to be a dreamland for everyone, kids and adults of all ages, and our focus has never changed," Kamenstein said of the brand in a statement. "One taste, sniff and glimpse of Sloan's sends the senses soaring. The time has come to share Sloan'syumminess beyond South Florida and we're thrilled about adding our first stores in California."
Flowery marketing language, yes, but I'm buying it. It will be interesting to see what this little ice cream chain can achieve during the next five years.
And as for that apple pie-flavored, dreamy-sounding ice cream?
Not gonna lie: I still want a scoop. And it's 20 degrees out in New York City.

Every year around this time there's quite a buzz around our office. All the work we put in over the winter finally comes to fruition as our 1st issue of the year finally comes back from the printer. To celebrate all of the work, and to celebrate the launch of this years Team Shoot Out, we hosted an issue release/ Team Shoot Out party at our Southern California office. Lots of pros, and industry heads made the trip, and everyone enjoyed the tacos and beers.
This year our Team Shoot Out is a little bit different. Four outerwear teams competed, Burton AK, Nike, Oakley, and Special Blend —And instead of us at the magazine deciding which team we thought was the best, we thought it would be better if you guys, the viewers picked the winner. Check it out for yourself, and make sure you head over to http://snowboarding.transworld.net/2012-team-shoot-out/ and "like" your favorite.

The site really comes alive on college game days, when the campus is not just populated with UT's 20,000 student population but also by 100,000-plus residents from the state of Tennessee and surrounding areas. This is a great chance for both communities to experience the green design concept firsthand.

Nate Rau/Nashville City Paper - Jeff Forehand doesn't have any regrets.
One year after he made the bold move across town from Trevecca Nazarene to Lipscomb, the baseball coach said his first year on the job was a positive one.
It's hard to argue with that. Forehand spearheaded a turnaround for Bisons baseball that pretty much speaks for itself.
But aside from winning more games and meeting other benchmarks, Forehand and his staff instituted a positive energy that carried over to the classroom.
When the NCAA released its APR academic progress report, the Bisons program received one of the worst scores. In fact, because two players left the program with unsatisfactory academic standings, the program was docked scholarships.
So besides overhauling the team on the field, Forehand had to change the entire culture off of it. It appears he succeeded. The Bisons placed 20 players on the A-Sun all-academic team, including eight returning players who had never made the team. The team raised its GPA and appears to have washed its hands of the APR fallout.
"I have to throw it back to the players," Forehand said. "It wasn't something where I was beating them to death when they have to get to study hall. It was part of the whole turning around process from where it had been. They bought into what we wanted to do on the field and in the classroom."

Cheating in motorsports is as old as the sport itself. Whenever powered vehicles gather together to race each other, then someone, somewhere, will try to gain an advantage, either within the rules or, if that is not successful, outside of the rules. In all classes, and at all times, teams, engineers and riders have all tried to cheat in one way or another. Even the imposition of a spec engine in the Moto2 class hasn't prevented teams trying to cheat, and the paddock is awash with rumors regarding which teams are cheating and which teams are not.
The finger of blame is inevitably pointed at the most successful riders, and in recent months, it has been pointed mainly at Catalunya CX rider Marc Marquez. Marquez has a number of strikes against him, making him a popular target for rumors of cheating; firstly, Marquez is Spanish, and as Moto2 is a Spanish-run series, the non-Spanish teams are all fervently convinced that Spanish teams are not monitored as closely as they are.
Secondly, Marquez has the backing of Repsol, one of the more powerful sponsors in the paddock, exerting influence not just over Marquez' Monlau Competicion team, but also over the much more important factory Repsol Honda team; the power of Repsol, the gossips suggest, exerts undue influence on the policing process. Thirdly, and most obviously, Marquez is fast, almost suspiciously so. The Spaniard's bike is always one of the fastest through the speed traps, and accelerates hardest off the corners. His team put it down to hard work at finding exactly the right set up for Marquez to excel. One of the lighter Moto2 riders on a well-prepared bike, ridden by a fast and talented rider? That, Marquez' supporters argue, is reason enough for him to be fastest.
To find out more about the situation, and what Dorna and the scrutineers are doing to address these concerns, I spoke to Race Director – and formerly Technical Director – Mike Webb at Estoril. I passed on the concerns that others had expressed to me about cheating in Moto2, and he explained to me exactly what Dorna are doing to monitor the bikes and ensure that cheating is kept to an absolute minimum, and that if it is happening, it does not pay. Here is what Webb had to say:

A pony, a parrot and a pack of pups inside the NYS Capitol? Yes, they were all in the Well of the Legislative Office Building in Albany on June 4 for the third annual NYS Animal Advocacy Day, an opportunity for lawmakers and animal supporters to collaborate on pending legislation to protect companion animals and awareness for the need to do more.
It was a "Bring Your Pet to Work Day" as politicians paraded their furry and feathered best friends alongside animal rights activists, rescuers and fellow animal lovers. One of the founders of the special event, Assemblyman Jim Tedisco, showed off his Corgi, while Senator Phil Boyle brought along "Livvy," his Toy Fox Terrier.
The day began with the reading of a letter by wellknown animal protector Bob Barker (of TV's "Price is Right" fame), who will turn 90 years old this year. Barker praised the innovative initiative in NYS, saying, "When New York sneezes, the rest of the country gets a cold. You are setting a great and necessary precedent with Animal Advocacy Day."
Also present were "Hudson" and "Pearl," the surviving "railroad pups." In Sept. 2012, railroad workers found a trio of Pit puppies, only three weeks old, with their paws nailed to the tracks. They were rushed to the hospital but one of the sisters didn't make it.
The other sister, Pearl, lost a few toes, while Hudson was fitted with different size prosthetics for his missing limb as he grew. Both dogs are in training to become therapy dogs to visit children and amputees in hospitals. Hudson's veterinarian, who designed his artificial paw, came to Animal Advocacy Day too.
In 2011, Tedisco and Senator Greg Ball first sponsored NYS Animal Advocacy Day as a rallying force to strengthen "Buster's Law," passed in 1999 and created the felony category of "aggravated cruelty to animals" punishable by up to two years in jail and a $5,000 fine. Prior to this bill becoming law, animal cruelty resulted in misdemeanor penalties or no charges at all.
"Buster's Law" was inspired by the 1997 torture killing of a tabby cat set on fire in Schenectady. Buster's killer, then a 16-year-old convicted felon, was later convicted of crimes against a 12-year-old mentally disabled girl. He is serving time at Attica. This case is an example of a "bridge crime"- someone abusing animals who moves on to hurting humans.
It is long known by law enforcement and psychiatrists that animal cruelty is often a warm-up for heinous crimes against people. Unfortunately, animal cruelty penalties are still not harsh enough, reinforcing the need for Animal Advocacy Day and the passage of many current bills.
Here are a few important ones: *(S.1776, A.775A) Known as the Consolidated Animal Crimes Bill, it is the same bill with a new number discussed in "Pets" Beacon 11/1/12 regarding Nassau District Attorney Kathleen Rice's Animal Cruelty Unit. This bill would modernize and strengthen NYS animal cruelty laws to provide animals with more protection while increasing penalties for offenders. If passed, animal abuse would be a crime under penal law instead of Agriculture & Markets. The current law needs more teeth. These changes would emphasize the seriousness of animal abuse. Our police and courts are used to working within penal code, not antiquated agricultural rules. The bill has strong LI support including sponsor Senator Charles Fuschillo and co-sponsor Senator Boyle, but it is still in committee. *(S.2987, A.239) An Animal Cruelty and Animal Fighting Database would be available to law enforcement, shelters and humane agencies. This legislation would make repeat offenders less likely to obtain potential animal victims. The problem is that those on the list need to be convicted, and with present law, it is hard to get a conviction. Would past offenders, especially the most grievous (like the Medford Mom who allegedly forced her children to kill pets or the dermatologist with the 115 dogs dying from dehydration) be included? We need S.1776 passed first to make S.2987 more comprehensive. Senator Boyle is a co-sponsor. This bill is in committee. *(S.2566, A.4514) Sponsored by Tedisco and Ball, this bill would prohibit anyone convicted of violating "Buster's Law" from possessing a companion animal unless they have undergone a psychiatric evaluation. A.4514 removes horses from the definition of "farm animal" and re-classifies them as "equine companions" to offer horses more cruelty protections. The miniature horse rescued from neglect at the June 4 event represented the group Safe Horse New York, which focuses on horse welfare and stopping the sale and shipping of horses to slaughter.
The equine portion of this bill was inspired by an upstate horse named "Skye" that was stabbed to death through her blanket in 2008. The case was not subject to felony prosecution under "Buster's Law" because horses are still considered "farm animals," rather than "companion animals." Skye's killer was sentenced to three to seven years but that was because of additional burglary charges, not animal cruelty. Assemblyman Tedisco has been working to get "Skye's Law" passed since 2010.
Perhaps I've grown impatient in my old age, but we need to urge our state legislators to pass these important bills and make them the law.

New York's P.S.1 gallery is gearing up for it's annual Warm Up music festival with a competition to select the outdoor pavilion design that will be the icing on a cake filled with art, tunes and great company. While they did not win this year, BIG Architects definitely brought their A-game. They envisioned the modern museum's courtyard as a bubbly cloudscape made of recycled PVC that could even be re-recycled into limited edition messenger bags to commemorate the event! While we're sad that they didn't win, we love their ideas – read on to see how they planned to turn this lofty summer paradise into a sustainable reality.
"Building something in order to tear it down three months later seems like the epitome of excess and wastefulness," says BIG in their proposal. Unsatisfied with the typical model of temporary exhibitions, they came up with a structure that "creates maximum impact with a minimum of means, where human life unfolds to the fullest with minimum material expense." Their cloudscape consists of 99.9% air formed by modular balls that congregate to make areas for sitting, playing, mingling and even swimming! The fabric used to make the cloudscape would be translucent recycled PVC, recovered from recycled truck bed covers and bags.
While the cloud theme would stay consistent throughout the space, it would be divided into three distinct areas – a bubbly dune in the main courtyard, including an air mattress and a paddling pool surrounded by bouncy seating; a 3D cumulus landscape with a covered chill out area of air mattresses and beanbags as well as a shaded bar for staff and guests; and a cluster of free floating cirrus clouds above the dance floor.

Demps set to debut against team that coveted him
Updated with how Jeff Demps fared Jeff Demps went through his first NFL practice Wednesday at One Buc Place in preparation for his debut Friday night. That proved to be a timely tease for Tampa Bay, which had pushed to get him in a Buccaneers jersey. Instead, he chose to join the Patriots, who held joint practices with the Bucs prior to their preseason game at 7:30 p.m. However, when it comes to Demps, this game won't be about the… Read More »

Hannah Fitch Shaw, one of the founders, wrote in a college essay "On Choosing an Occupation" ca. 1871:
When women have the courage to choose congenial occupations in which by proper application they may achieve honor and success, then will they attain their greatest influence and whether in the law office, at the merchants counter, in the school room, with sculptor's chisel or painter's brush, or engaged in the daily routine of home duties we shall everywhere find them cheerful and contented, and accomplishing the great work of life.
Over the years, our members followed the advice given by Hannah Fitch Shaw and have chosen "the great work of life." We take this opportunity to recognize some of our more "notable" members who are recognized for their contributions to their profession or to the larger community.

This is a version of war we've never seen before!
On Thursday, Ryan Reynolds stopped by the "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" show where things got a little heated ... and wet.
Ryan and Jimmy Fallon played a card game of "War," except each time they draw cards of equal value the guys go to "War"... with water. Check out the hilarious clip above to see what Reynolds said about Jimmy's nipples.
That's one way to beat the heat!
After going through several cups of water, Fallon took the win and continued to douse Ryan with a giant water gun.
Do boys ever grow up? It's OK, we don't mind seeing the "R.I.P.D" star in a soaking wet, skin tight shirt.
Will you be seeing Ryan's latest flick, "R.I.P.D" this weekend? Tell toofab in the comment section, and check out some of the actor's sexiest shots in the gallery below!

Science Scoops: War of the Roses
by Stephen James O'Meara
We've all smelled it—that fresh aroma of raw earth rising up from a garden after a summer rain. But as pleasing as that smell is to us, it's the smell of war…to a microbe!
That's right. The smell we love to sniff after a summer shower is really an invisible cloud of some pretty "poisonous" chemicals released by soil-dwelling bacteria fighting for territory. The microbes use the gas as a biological weapon, to keep competitors away. David Bodanis, author of The Secret Family (Simon & Schuster, 1997), says that the smell is always there, but it simply becomes more noticeable to humans in the increased humidity after a rain.
And there's more to that sweet smell of a humid summer day. Shrubs, Bodanis says, "send an odoriferous alcohol upward to spotlight the point where they're being attacked by caterpillars or other gnawing insects." The odor, however, is not intended to gas out the leaf munchers. No, it's a chemical message aimed at wasps, to attract them to the caterpillars, the wasp's prey.
More of the aroma of summer comes from flowers planted too closely together, Bodanis says. Plants do not take such crowding lightly. To battle their neighbors, plants send hydrogen cyanide from their roots into the soil to annihilate encroachers. Rosebushes, too, are not averse to killing. They send out gases that try to counterattack fungi.
Yes, Bodanis warns us, it's a jungle out there, and we're blind to it. But we can sniff out the danger.
- annihilate: To destroy completely.
- averse: Opposed; reluctant; unwilling.
- encroachers: One who advances beyond one's limits.
- humidity: Dampness of the air.
- odoriferous: Having or giving off an odor.
- Why do the physical properties of some flowers make those flowers attractive to people?
- How do the plants mentioned in this article use some of their physical properties to protect themselves?
- Many plants or animals use color, shape, or texture as protection. Name two plants or animals that use color, shape, or texture as protection. Write a sentence or two about each plant or animal. Describe how they use their color, shape, or texture.

Re: Canucks News and Notes
Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2013 5:41 pm
I thought that a player's salary stopped counting against the cap entirely when the layer was put on LTIR.Hockey Widow wrote: Nonsense, think about it. The Canucks don't want Manny any more in the line up. They decide that when Kesler is back Manny is out. So why not waive him and send him down. They still pay his salary either way. But less would count on the cap if they sent him down that keeping him on IR.
Or they could explore trade opportunities and get back a 4-7 round pick. There are teams that need centres that would take him for cheep. If Manny was faced with press box, minors or waiving his NTC I am sure a deal somewhere could have been worked out.
In other words, if this is about making a roster spot the Canucks had plenty of options available to do that other than end a guys career. They gave him the option of retiring and immediately joining the front office in a capacity to be worked out, or, going on IR until July 1st but his playing days in Vancouver are over. If he stays on IR then he will collect his salary and come July 1 if he feels he can play he can test the market.
The absolute fear here was not about his eye but about his ability to protect himself on the ice from what could be a devastating injury because he didn't see it coming.

People to Watch 2010
Susan Woods and Becca Selvidge Fox
(page 1 of 4)
Scrapbooks usually connote old acquaintances, but not ours, which is filled with images of memories still being made. People to Watch we define as folks doing something new that we should be aware of. That is why they're so watchable. Look through these pages and and gaze at the future, where there will be more scrapbooks to be filled.
Amanda McGillivray
Laboratory Research Technician, Tulane University School of Medicine
Amanda McGillivray isn't afraid of germs; in fact, she loves them. As a laboratory research technician at Tulane University School of Medicine's Department of Microbiology and Immunology, McGillivray studies novel vaccine and adjuvant development – the latter of which is a necessary and often overlooked factor in the effectiveness of vaccines. In laymen's terms, she works to prevent infectious disease through vaccines. "Currently, there are only a few FDA-approved adjuvants in the U.S. and these unfortunately do not work well with all vaccine formulations," she says. "Therefore, it is very important to develop other safe and effective adjuvant alternatives." Part of McGillivray's job is to test the safety, structure, functionality and effectiveness of vaccine proteins. "I consider that my work is very relevant and important to human health as this protein might ultimately be used as a component of vaccines administered to humans," she says.
McGillivray has always been interested in science, specifically microbiology. "I have an innate curiosity about why and how underlying processes occur," she says. "I love learning about how organisms function in a particular manner. I especially enjoy studying how bacteria cause disease. There is something so fascinating about how an organism, such as a microbe, can cause severe complications."
Her ultimate goal is to become a Principal Investigator (P.I.) and own her own research lab. To reach that goal, McGillivray must earn her Ph.D., a step toward which she's already taking; she was accepted into the Biomedical Sciences doctoral program at Tulane, a feat that she says is both her biggest challenge and her greatest accomplishment. "I am very fortunate," she says, "to be able to work in an environment that has allowed me to grow as a young scientist."
Iftikhar Ahmad
Director of Aviation, New Orleans Aviation Board and the City of New Orleans
Iftikhar Ahmad wasn't afraid to have his head in the clouds. And as Director of Aviation for Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, he does just that. "I believe in living a life with purpose," he says. "In leading airports I have found my purpose." He sees MSY as both a literal hub of commerce and also a greater symbol of how travel effects New Orleans and the community. "I believe airports play a very important role as economic engines for their regions," Ahmad says. "They add to the prosperity and quality of life of a community by connecting it to the rest of the world. When visitors come to this community, they stay in our hotels, go to our restaurants, use our gas stations and other venues where money changes hands and jobs are created. In the case of New Orleans, if New Orleans is playing zydeco, we are the accordion." Ahmad's professional goal is to properly equip the aviation industry to serve people in the future, though his personal goals deal not with work, but with his wife and two sons. "My long-term goal is to raise my children in a way that they would have a sense of duty, while encouraging them to reach the stars. I spend all my time with my children and wife when I am not working."
Angela Watson Daliet
Founder and Executive Director, Save Our Schools NOLA
Angela Daliet, along with many New Orleanians, lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. One thing she couldn't bear to lose, however, was an adequate public school system. "I didn't grow up in New Orleans, but I moved here for college and fell in love with the city's culture, funky vibe and openness to diversity," Daliet says. "My small-town upbringing and mother's continuous push [for me] to be a strong woman who stands up for what I believe led me on the path to become an advocate for people like me and my kids, public school parents and students."
She started Save Our Schools NOLA in September 2005, determined to help reform the public school system through awareness, education, community and action. The group's goals also include advocating for both policy and social change. "SOSNOLA is building parent and citizen demand for excellent public schools for all children in New Orleans by informing our community, organizing a constituency, and advocating toward educational equality and quality," Daliet says.
She says her biggest challenge this year has been trying to balance work and a family of seven children, but she believes that both her professional and personal accomplishments are a result of such challenges.
While the demands of her job are strenuous and time-consuming, including late nights, early mornings and anything but a typical 40-hour workweek, Daliet wouldn't have it any other way. "Do what you love, and you'll never work another day in your life," she says. "That's me. No matter what the future holds, I know I will always be working to ensure better opportunities and outcomes for our local children, families, businesses, neighborhoods, city, region and state."
Elizabeth Teel Galante
Executive Director, Global Green USA – New Orleans
When it comes to "going green," most people are all talk and little action. Beth Galante is not only all action, but she also works to encourage and enable the public to act. After working as an assistant District Attorney in New Orleans an a Deputy Director for Tulane Environmental Law Clinic, she took on the position of Executive Director for Global Green in January 2006.
"My favorite thing about my work is that I get to contribute to New Orleans' renaissance as a model of coastal resiliency for the rest of the world," Galante says. "We've come so incredibly far in the past five years, and the next five years promise to be just as inspiring."
Global Green specifically works to "green" New Orleans Schools through outreach and technical assistance on a state and local level. "New Orleans' public school system is now on track to be a national green schools leader in the coming decade," she says.
Galante wants to bring environmental awareness to the public in a way that is relatable, accessible and beneficial.
"I want Louisiana to finally take advantage of its abundant renewable natural resources and create 50,000 safe, clean and good paying jobs in solar, wind, biofuels and river turbine energy," she says. "In the short term, I'm working to bring funders, manufacturers and government officials together to bring a major renewable energy manufacturing facility to our state in the next two years."
She says that now is the time to act. "I believe that the oil disaster has made many more Louisianians than ever before realize that, if we want our state and children to have a prosperous future, we cannot continue to rely so heavily on one industry, especially one that is employing fewer and fewer workers. There has never been a better opportunity to support clean, safe energy production in our state, and Global Green is going to work hard to help Louisiana make some great strides in that direction."
Catherine Deano and Renee Maloney
Owners, Corks N Canvas/Painting With a Twist
Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney want everyone to be able to feel like an artist. "Everyone wants to be creative," Deano says. "(Corks N Canvas/Painting With a Twist) accomplishes this in one evening." The two women opened Corks N Canvas in 2007, offering beginner art classes where the students have a completed painting to take home at the end. The twist comes with the encouragement to bring a bottle of wine to the class. "Like we say, 'A little wine, a little art and a whole lot of fun,'" says Deano.
Maloney's favorite part of her job is seeing the reactions of the reluctant artists. "People are laughing, singing to the music as they paint," she says. "They are so surprised at the end of the night by their accomplishment. We get phone calls all the time the next day saying, 'My husband and kids can't believe I did this!'"
Corks N Canvas has copyrighted more than 700 pieces of art to use in art classes, including everything from Louisiana and New Orleans-themed paintings to landscapes and more. Deano and Maloney soon opened many other locations, including franchises called Painting With a Twist, in Louisiana, Florida, Texas and more.
Corks N Canvas/Painting With a Twist also holds fundraiser classes, called Painting With a Purpose, the proceeds of which benefit local nonprofits.
Deano hopes to keep helping people get in touch with their inner artist. "Seeing the joy on peoples faces at the end of the night as they look at their completed painting is why I do it," she says. "Knowing that we are exposing people who would have never picked up a paintbrush to actually create a work of art they are proud of is heady stuff."
David Skinner
General Manager,Mahalia Jackson Theater and Saenger Theater
When it comes to big names, David Skinner has worked with the best of them. Skinner has been involved in entertainment and facility management his entire life – he's even worked with Elvis and The Rolling Stones. But, ultimately, the big names couldn't compare to home. "I know what the song says: 'Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?' and that is so true," he says of his time spent away.
He returned home in the fall of 2008 to aid in rebuilding efforts, specifically in the re-opening of the Mahalia Jackson Theater and the Saenger Theater. "Hard work for sure," he says. "But extremely rewarding."
Now the general manager, Skinner is continuing the effort to re-open the beloved local gem, The Saenger. "Our long-term goal is to continue renovation of the Saenger Theater and return this historic landmark to its 1927 grandeur," he says. "The theater will re-open in late 2011 and, with an enlarged stage house, will be able to host shows that heretofore have passed New Orleans."
More than anything, Skinner knows the importance of the Saenger to the spirit of the city. "The theater represents memories to every citizen in our community – it is a place where we all had our 'first' something … where we saw our first movie, our first play or our first concert. For New Orleans to return, the Saenger must be part of that picture."

Commemorates the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Power Vista
The New York Power Authority will recognize the "Hard Hats of Niagara" on Monday, Oct. 28, at 11 a.m., at the Power Vista, the visitors center for the Niagara Hydroelectric Plant. The occasion will mark the 50th anniversary of the construction of the Power Vista and will mark the attendance milestone of welcoming 7 million visitors since the facility first opened its doors in 1963.
At the event, representatives of NYPA senior management will honor the "Hard Hats of Niagara," a group of former construction workers who built the power plant and the Power Vista - and join with the "Hard Hats" in welcoming several visitors who will symbolically represent the 7 million visitors. NYPA staff anticipated reaching this significant number in the fall and targeted Oct. 28, the first business day following its popular, well-attended Halloween event, as the date the milestone would be reached.
"This is a very special occasion for all of us who work at the Power Authority," said Harry Francois, NYPA regional manager, Western New York. "The Power Vista was always intended to be NYPA's anchor into the community of Lewiston and Western New York. Celebrating the 7 millionth visitor milestone today gives us the sense that we have achieved our goal, and inspires us to continue our contributions to Western New York's energy and environmental education, recreation and tourism for many years to come."
The Power Vista opened officially on July 16, 1963, and since July, visitors have been encouraged to commemorate the event with a message on a 50th anniversary greeting card at the visitors center, or by logging onto the NYPA website at www.nypa.gov/vc/niagara.htm. The messages will be included in a Power Vista time capsule to be buried at the end of its 50th anniversary year, next July.
A special exhibit, "Walk through Time," displayed on the Power Vista's glass walkway, includes historic photos of the Power Vista from each decade during the past 50 years.
In addition to enjoying the more than 50 interactive exhibits and the views from 350 feet above the Niagara Gorge, visitors can also attend a number of community events at the Niagara Power Vista in the coming months, including "Deck the Halls" (Dec. 7) and the annual "Festival of Trees" (Dec. 1 through Jan. 4, 2014).
Arrangements also can be made for the Power Vista staff to present a program on electricity and energy efficiency at schools and business/community events.
For more information, call the NYPA's Power Vista at 716-286-6661 or email [email protected].

Welcome! ...
The West Virginia Purchasing Division Procedures Handbook is a helpful tool for all procurement officers, managers and employees to use in learning more about programs, procedures and services administered through the Purchasing Division.
This handbook was prepared with the assistance of purchasing professionals throughout West Virginia state government. It offers guidance for those who are new to the state purchasing process as well as those more experienced individuals. Each section offers specific information and instructions which should prove helpful to users in making sound, cost-efficient decisions.
As the Director of the West Virginia Purchasing Division, I strongly recommend the use of this handbook by all state procurement officers and their respective staffs. Our goal is to simplify and clarify the state's procurement process while ensuring fair and open competition with proper documentation of all purchasing transactions.
Because the Purchasing Division has responsibilities beyond procurement, information on our other programs, such as travel, fleet, fixed assets, and surplus property are also included within the appendix of this handbook.
This handbook provides each of us with a sound reference ensuring accuracy and consistency as we perform our procurement duties and responsibilities within West Virginia state government. My office is always open for questions, concerns and suggestions. I invite you to visit our Internet website at http://www.state.wv.us/admin/purchase and our intranet site at http://intranet.state.wv.us/admin/purchase.

I'm playing hooky. It's Thursday around noon, and a column is due, but it's 1970 and I'm playing hooky.
I'm watching baseball. Gloriously sunny, rapturously dramatic, midweek playoff baseball. I'm sitting in my living room in the middle of the day watching the San Francisco Giants playing in the divisional series in Cincinnati, right down the road from the Louisville, Ky., classroom where I once played baseball hooky on a playground.
Kids get tired of hearing these stories, but they really happened. When I was in seventh grade at St. Albert the Great, I would excuse myself for a restroom visit, then escape to the basketball courts to listen to the first innings of the World Series games between the Reds and the Baltimore Orioles, thus missing most of English composition class.
Maybe that explains the short paragraphs.

|In short: Kdepim coding style follows the Kdelibs coding style.
As discussed at the KDEPIM meeting, Berlin, 3 March 2013, all the files of KDEPIM will be reviewed to follow the coding style. This will be done over a long time, directory after directory, for each of the rules defined above. For each rule, one can find one or two script(s). The first script is to check a single file or a complete directory for all .h and .cpp files.
If present, the second script makes the changes for a single file or a complete directory for all .h and .cpp files. For some complicated situations, the script makes no change.

We have passed the Equinox and the nights are drawing in. The bees and butterflies are making the most of the glimmers of sunshine, feasting on the nectar of ivy flowers as they well know that the weather is turning and winter will soon be upon us. I have always been fascinated about the traditional and ancient uses of Herbs.
Ivy, Hedra helix L. an evergreen native herb which, in ancient times, symbolised eternal life, loyalty, devotion and undying desire, for it's well known habit of attaching itself firmly to a wall or tree.
Bay, Laurus nobilis, was also considered a symbol of eternal life. The Greek generals wore a laurel wreath in the belief that, by doing so, they could cleanse themselves from the bloodshed. . The Romans, adopted the Bay as a symbol of victory. The latin 'laureate' means crowned with laurels, a synonym for bay, hence Poet Laureate.
And Myrtle, Myrtus communis, a personal favourite, for it looks good all season long and is so useful in the kitchen. In ancient times, and this tradition has returned, was the symbol of love, marriage and fertility. The Myrtle wreath was often worn by brides and bridegrooms. In Wales it was believed that the destruction of the Myrtle is tantamount to killing love and peace.
So these three herbs, Ivy, Myrtle and Bay when arranged in a vase to brighten the home in winter symbolises happiness, love, devotion and longevity.

Snowballs in Summer
You're walking down the street, minding your own business, when you see a snowball. No big deal, right? Except the snowball is as tall as you are. And weighs about a ton. Did we mention that it's June?
That's the experience thousands of stunned Londoners had when they crossed paths with "Snowballs in Summer," the brainchild of artist Andy Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy makes sculpture from all sorts of things he finds outside—leaves, earth, and rocks, as well as ice and snow. He wanted to find out how busy city people would react to an unexpected snowball melting in their midst.
During the winter of 1999, he rolled 13 giant snowballs near his home in Scotland. He filled each one with a surprise in the center—such as pebbles, berries, feathers, or sheep's wool—which would emerge as the snow melted. The finished snowballs were stored in a deep freeze until summer, then transported to London in refrigerated trucks. At midnight on June 21, 2000, while the city slept, Goldsworthy and his co-conspirators rolled their snowballs into place.
People walking to work or school must have thought the sky was falling when they stumbled across snowballs the size of baby elephants. Some of them had never even seen snow in real life, and they couldn't resist poking the snowballs or even breaking off a chunk. As the snow started to melt, things got even more interesting. The perfectly round snowballs took on different shapes as the stuff inside began to poke through.
Two days later, most of Goldsworthy's snowballs were gone, and their fillings scattered. But Londoners were left with a really good story about that odd summer day when the snowballs came.
- List five physical properties of the melting giant snowballs.
[anno: Answers will vary but could include that the snowballs are round, large, white, wet, and cold.]
- Imagine that the snowballs were put on the sidewalks of London in the winter. How might the physical properties be different than they are in the summer?
[anno: Answers will vary but could include that if the snowballs were put out during the winter, they would not be wet because the snow would not be melting. If the snowball were not melting, then the things that the artist put inside the snowball would not appear.]
- If the artist asked you to put something inside one of the snowballs, what would it be? Why? How would this change the physical properties of the snowball? Write a sentence or two for your answer.
[anno: Answers will vary.]

18:00Signals forex pair euro / dollar on 04/05/2015
Signals forex pair euro / dollar on 04/05/2015
The euro / dollar is trading on the hourly chart in a downtrend. It shows that the EUR / USD is trading below the moving average with period 55 on the hourly chart (level 1.1173), which has reduced prices in the short term.
The signal for the opening of the long position will sample up to an hour of resistance at 1.1174 in order to increase the resistance level at 1.1222 and in case of breakdown up to an hour to 1.1276. Stoploss for this strategy can be placed at 1.1115.
The signal for the opening short position will sample up to an hour of support at 1.1127 to decline to the support at 1.1075 and in case of breakdown up to an hour 1.1028. Stoploss for this strategy can be placed at 1.1180.
Given that the moving average and the location of boundaries of technical figures over time, moves to the hourly chart to adjust their status. I also recommend to open positions up to an hour to avoid false breakouts.
In the case of a strong movement in the breakout technical figures, I recommend to wait for correction. The level, which was the resistance should be strongly supported and it was near this level should open position in the direction of the breakdown.
Intraday trading is very lucrative if competently to build a trading strategy. Most important is the entrance to the market, it depends almost 70% of success in Forex trading. I draw your attention to the fact that most of the signals (strategies) begins to work almost immediately (sometimes I'm just pointing out the direction in which to open a position).
Then, if a signal goes up, then I open a long position, and vice versa. I recommend that you use Forex trading multiple currency pairs, it will help to minimize the risks and to generate "short" currency portfolio.
Open positions must be specified after the break me support or resistance levels up to an hour, that is, if the new hour started in the past and the price closed at least at one point above the level specified by me, you can open a position in the direction of the breakdown.
Thus, if the rate of up to an hour grew by more than 15 points, I recommend to put a pending order at the level of, for example, if you load a buy signal and a course broke resistance and increased up to an hour more than 15 points, it is necessary to place a pending order to purchase a little higher level of support for 5-15 points.
The advantage of these intraday strategies is the use of moving averages (with period 55). If the price breaks the level of the moving average up to an hour, it is a strong signal to the opening position, good location stops minimize possible loss.
Price does not always reach a specified level of profit me, that there are lots of reasons why I recommend to "take 20 points," and then if the profit will grow gradually raise the stop to breakeven.

I've been too sick to do any thrifting lately. Yesterday I started to feel better, got myself together and left the house. Only to return about 10 minutes later with just a pint of a milk. However this morning I have woken up and not coughed once. My chest is starting to feel clearer – there's no bronchial wheeze on it – has this infection finally flown and left me alone?
So while I've been laid up in bed trying to sleep through the wheezing, I've been stumbling and looking for amazing upcycling/ reusing/ remaking ideas. Today I thought I'd collect together a few of my favourite furniture from upcycled items. In our flat we have some amazing bookshelves that are upcycled goodiness – however I'm not sharing photos with you yet until the flat is sorted and I'm happy with them enough to take photographs 😉 That's to say – I'm stupidly happy with the shelves, I'm just not happy with how untidy I am and how messy they are. I'm embarrassed to show them to you!
So here are some of my favourite furniture upcycled projects:
Repurposed drawers:
These wonderful designs are from a German shop called schubLaden {meaning drawers in German}.
This image was found on Flickr – however I'm not sure who actually designed these:
I would happily make Mr Second-Hand spend his spring evenings sawing away at old cabinets so I could have something this splendid in the flat 🙂
I have a real love for Vespas – in fact I still think that one day I will own one. So these seats made out of old Vespas by Italian company Bel&Bel make me very happy indeed {although I'd rather have the bike than the chair!}:
Katie Thomspon from Recreate is an absolute genius. These beautifully created pieces of furniture made from repurposed cases are simply divine:
Not surprisingly all of the seats I've chosen to feature are now sold however her website states that she does do custom orders – if only she wasn't in South Africa!
Finally I'm going to feature the wonderful work of Dallas welder, Joel Hester. His furniture made from repurposed car hoods are simply inspired. All of the projects are 'handmade to order' which means that you truly get one off pieces especially for you!
Firstly – the beds:
Aren't these gorgeous? Unfortunately I can't post larger pics but if you click on them they'll take you right to the page. They are all designed around the shape of your mattress, the size you want etc. What more could you want? If I had the money and the space I would be purchasing one of these. However, Mr Second-Hand is creating our bed this Spring so I'll be posting photographs of that 🙂
I'm just going to post the coffee table too that I love because of the unique pattern on it caused by the original paint and rust:
This is from their website about the standard coffee table specifications:
straight or modern oval leg design
30+ year old relcaimed sheetmetal top
MIG/TIG welded steel frame
gloss clear coat
stainless steel hardware
leveling feet
original VIN badge���
tables weigh 60+ pounds, the real deal …
Oh yes – they certainly do look the real deal 🙂 LOVE 'EM!
I promise that very soon I will be posting photographs of our own repurposed furniture once the flat is sorted!
