Hookah is becoming a household word, but is hookah smoking safe? Studies indicate that it's not: hookah smokers can be exposed to higher levels of carbon monoxide and other toxins than cigarette smokers, and hookah users are more likely to become cigarette smokers.
What is Hookah?
What is hookah – also known as water pipe or shisha? Traditional hookah has tobacco in a bowl with burning charcoal on top of it to create smoke. The chamber is filled with water, sometimes mixed with juice or rosewater to flavor the smoke. Smoke collects in the water chamber and a hookah smoker sucks on a pipe, drawing smoke through the water.
The tobacco is often sweetened with fruit or molasses, which makes the smoke pleasant smelling, and disguises the bitter smell and taste of the burning tobacco. Popular flavorings include apple, plum, coconut, mango, mint, strawberry and cola.
Who's Smoking Hookahs?
Hookah was extensively used in ancient Persia (Iran), India, Turkey, and etc. beginning in the 1500's. Even though use is declining in some Middle Eastern-Arab countries, it's becoming more popular in Southeast Asia and with Western youth.
In the past year, hookahs have been used by over 12% of American adults, and over one in five high school seniors. Between 2011 and 2014, hookah use among high school students doubled. Hookahs are becoming popular, with hookah bars popping up near college campuses everywhere. 18-24 year olds are the fastest-growing group of users; in 2011, two out of five college and university students had smoked a hookah.
Not unexpectedly, along with the boom of battery charged e-products, enter the e-hookah that produces vapor. It resembles the e-cigarette and comes in both a reusable and a disposable version. These are often bright and colorful, and may be the next step in making hookah use even more widely accepted.
Health Effects
Many believe hookah is less harmful and addictive than cigarettes, and that the water filters and the fruit detoxify the harmful substances. But a hookah smoker can inhale the equivalent of 100 or more cigarettes in one session.
Cigarettes are usually smoked over the course of 5-7 minutes, with the smoker inhaling 8-12 times (about a pint of smoke). Hookah smoking sessions last much longer -- generally 20-80 minutes, with the smoker taking 50-200 puffs. A hookah smoker is thus exposed to carcinogens (like tar and heavy metals) and carbon monoxide from the tobacco and the burning charcoal for much longer periods.
One of the reasons a hookah user is able to tolerate so much smoke is that the water bowl does filter out some of the nicotine. Otherwise, users would have to stop smoking very quickly, because the high levels of nicotine would make them nauseated. The water also has the effect of cooling the smoke, masking the harshness of the tobacco. This encourages a smoker to inhale more deeply and for longer periods.
Hookah smoking is a social activity, and the mouthpiece is often passed around among friends without being changed, risking the spread of infectious diseases. Disposable mouthpieces are available, but not often used.
Finally, a recent study of nearly 1,050 nonsmokers, aged 15 to 23, showed that after two years, 39% of those who had smoked hookahs had also started smoking cigarettes, compared with about 20% of those who had not.
Hookah Smoking is Not Safer
Hookah or shisha smoking can be more, rather than less, hazardous than smoking cigarettes, and is more likely to lead to habitual cigarette smoking. We need to snuff out the perception that it is safe, or a fun alternative to smoking cigarettes.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Diego Fagundez picked up the New England Revolution team MVP award in a pre-match ceremony. He then showed why he warranted the honor by scoring a precious winner in the final quarter of an hour to dash Columbus' postseason hopes and hand the Revolution a 3-2 victory at Gillette Stadium.
Fagundez capped a frenetic second half by turning home at the far post to give the Revs all three points. His composed finish settled a compelling game when the Revs twice took the lead only for the desperate Crew to respond in kind.
A.J. Soares headed home to stake the Revs to a halftime lead, but Dominic Oduro responded after the break to level the proceedings. Chris Tierney claimed the lead again from the penalty spot only for influential second-half substitute Aaron Schoenfeld to fire home to restore parity.
The late winner from Fagundez bolstered the Revs' playoff hopes – they will enter the final match with a chance to procure a playoff berth in Columbus next Sunday – and eliminated the Crew with one match remaining.
New England started brightly in a bid to claim the victory required to bolster its postseason hopes. Juan Agudelo spurned a sumptuous Kelyn Rowe diagonal inside the first 10 minutes, while Andy Dorman's persistence at the far post forced Matt Lampson to rush out to block his effort moments later.
Oduro dragged a half-chance wide to provide a modest respite, but the Revolution continued to apply most of the pressure. Chad Barson hacked clear a Jerry Bengtson square pass shortly before the half-hour mark to stem the tide, but the Crew eventually broke after 32 minutes.
The sequence started when Rowe tempted Ethan Finlay into a rash tackle on the left wing. Rowe brushed himself off and then drove an inviting set piece toward the near post. Soares made a determined run to meet it and glanced it home for his first goal of the season.
Soares' opener constituted the Revolution's lead at the interval, but a tactical switch at halftime by Crew interim coach Brian Bliss and the urgency for both sides sparked a back-and-forth second half.
Columbus improved considerably in the opening moments after Schoenfeld replaced Finlay and supplied a genuine target up front alongside Jairo Arrieta. Schoenfeld justified his inclusion shortly before the hour with prototypical hold-up work to play Oduro behind the line. Oduro then smashed home the equalizer with a rasping near post drive.
Parity held for 10 minutes or so before Tierney restored the lead from the spot. Tony Tchanihauled down Dorman on the right side of the penalty area to cap a furious sequence inside the Crew penalty area. Tierney assumed the responsibility with Lee Nguyen suspended and coolly dispatched his effort inside the far post.
Schoenfeld then pegged the Revs back for a second time with his first MLS goal. Oduro turned provider on this occasion with a perfectly placed feed on the edge of the penalty area. Schoenfeld settled well, turned onto his foot and walloped his effort past Matt Reis to draw the Crew level after 71 minutes.
Both teams committed numbers into the attacking third with a draw meaning relatively little to both teams in the final accounting. The ambitious deportment yielded a furious closing quarter of an hour and a winner through Fagundez.
Fagundez spurned a glorious opportunity to double the Revs lead moments before Oduro made it 1-1, but he made no mistake to cap off this sweeping Revolution move. The sequence started with a long Reis boot up field and proceeded with a flick, a couple of neat passes inside the Crew penalty area and a precise square from Dorman toward the far post.
Fagundez moved deftly into the proper area and then polished off the move appropriately with his 13th goal of the campaign to hand the Revs all three points and scupper the Crew's postseason hopes.

LUCAS COUNTY (WTOL) - Pet owners are petitioning commissioners.
A group of animal rights activists is gathering signatures to get a number of things changed including firing Dog Warden Tom Skeldon.
The group is called 4 Lucas County Pets. Members are not happy with the warden's office.
Their web site describes who members are and what they want including a public education campaign to make people better pet owners with a low cost spay and neuter program and better access to the animal shelter by all local rescue groups.
The organization says it's tired of paying the highest registration fees in the state.
"We'd like to see us get more for our money. We pay more than anybody else, and we don't do as good a job as other counties," says group member Tamara Ernst.
The group also strongly opposes the vicious dog ordinance focusing on pitbulls championed by Dog Warden Tom Skeldon. Members feel vicious dogs should be defined by their actions rather than their breed. "It's simple to blame a particular breed for problems rather than blame the owner," says member Dan Grove.
The group has established an online petition on its web site.
County commissioner Ben Konop says he has received a lot of e-mails and phone calls about Skeldon, and he's willing to hear both sides. "We, I think, owe it to the taxpayers to take a very close look at his operation... make sure he's treating citizens well, treating animals well," Konop says.
News 11 contacted Skeldon who declined to talk to us Thursday night saying he was on vacation until Monday.
Group members say they have a message. "We can help dogs and be a voice for the animals because they can't speak for themselves," Ernst says.

The Next eBook Evolution: Pay As You Read eBooks
from the try-before-you-buy dept
TotalBooX is one company trying out what they're calling a "pay as you go" eBook model. The idea is that you can pay per page rather than buying the entire book upfront. That way, if you find that you don't enjoy the first 50 pages of a book, you mitigate the risk of being out the entire cost of the book by only having bought those first 50 pages.
With TotalBooX, the overall price of the book doesn't change. But the users have a chance to save some money if they are not satisfied with the product. The platform already contains 10,000 eBooks, and will be available on iOS and online. First-timers are greeted with $2 worth of free pages, but from then on, the balance of the account needs to be topped up in advance.
"We are trying to rid the world from outdated, expensive ritual of buying a book before you read it," says [founder Yoarv] Lorch. On TotalBooX, sharing an interesting eBook is as easy as drag-and-dropping it into a friend's account, and there's no need to enter any login details or payment information. Add social media integration, the platform hopes to appeal to real book lovers.We'll have to see if this gains any real traction, but it highlights the wonder of what you can do in providing customers more options with a digital product. As Lorch himself notes later, this kind of model was previously impossible because of the physical nature of books and the costs associated with them. With digital content however, offering something like this not only makes sense, but now that I've seen it I have to wonder what the hell took so long. This is exactly what eBooks do best over their dead-tree brethren. Still, it's one thing to build it, it's another to get people interested. In a digital world where so many people expect free samples, charging for those samples may be a turn-off at first, even if it's much, much more than a normal "sample" of the work. Plus, adding on the "mental transaction costs" of whether or not it's worth a penny or three to turn the page may be a burden that many users don't want. Still, giving active readers the chance to pay for exactly as much of a book as they read seems like a workable idea.
As with all things eBooks, however, innovative folks like Lorch need parternships with authors and publishers along with interested customers to really make this work. I'm not sure if traditional publishers will see this type of model as something to embrace or as a threat to their profit lines, but I would imagine self-published authors will embrace this more easily, as they have most other literary innovations. If that indeed proves the case, we likely will be able to add this as another innovation that will push readers away from traditional publishers and towards the self-published author. On the other hand, if literary publishers want to get out front on this, they could help provide readers with an immensely useful service that shows off their authors' talents.

Two of the Chicago Blackhawks' most dynamic offensive players, Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa, will make their preseason debuts Wednesday night against the Detroit Red Wings at the United Center.
Kane missed the first four preseason games while recovering from July 19 surgery on his left wrist to repair a scaphoid fracture. Hossa arrived late in camp after remaining in Slovakia following the death of close friend Pavol Demitra in the plane crash that took the lives of the KHL team Lokomotiv and then the birth of his daughter two days later.
Coach Joel Quenneville said that No. 1 goaltender Corey Crawford will start against Detroit and play the entire game. The battle for the backup goalie spot between veteran Ray Emery and rookie Alexander Salak will continue Friday night when Emery plays the entire game against the Penguins.
Meanwhile, forward Patrick Sharp skated on his own for the third consecutive day as he recovers from an emergency appendectomy on Sept. 12.
"He's progressing well," Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said after Tuesday's practice. "We're very happy with where he's at. Each and every day he's able to do a ltitle bit more. We're very encouraged."

WORCESTER — Michael True, professor emeritus at Assumption College, said he's never liked the course the Roman Catholic Church took under the stewardships of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.
Mr. True, a prominent local peace and social activist, said the two pontiffs, over their combined 35-year reign, ruled the church in an authoritarian manner, crushing liberal Catholic thought and adhering to dogmatic principals that drove many from the church.
"Now, I think that things within the church are going to be a lot different," said Mr. True, the author of 12 books and a former National Endowment for the Humanities fellow.
Mr. True, along with other progressive academics who had disapproved of the course taken by the Vatican over the past three decades, said that the extensive interview given by Pope Francis and publicly released Thursday through Jesuit publications throughout the world indicates that the church may very well be going in another direction.
"The emphasis now is going to be on feeding the hungry and housing the homeless," Mr. True said. "The church is going back to the things that Jesus believed in."
Pope Francis, the first non-European pope in 1,300 years and a Jesuit, shocked the world when, in a 12,000-word interview with the Italian Journal Civilta Cattolica that was also distributed to other Jesuit periodicals, he said the church should be less prone to condemn and must shake off its obsession with abortion, contraception and homosexuality.
The pontiff, who became head of the church earlier this year when Pope Benedict stepped down, said that the church should be more welcoming and less dogmatic and bureaucratic.
The pope's comments were lauded by liberal Catholics but drew consternation from some conservative quarters within the church.
Mr. True said the previous two popes steered the church away from the reforms of the Second Vatican Council.
"The Catholic leadership forgot that the church is made up of the people and not just the clergy," said Mr. True.
He said he believes Pope Francis' observations will invigorate the faithful into reaching out to others and to renewing interest in the so-called liberation theology that has been prevalent in Central and South Americas.
"Jesus wasn't into theology," said Mr. True. "He was into helping others."
Several Catholics attending Saturday afternoon Mass at Blessed Sacrament Church in Worcester were generally pleased with the pope's comments, agreeing that the church needed to focus on poverty and social justice issues, too. Some expressed concern there might be misunderstanding that the pope wanted to change basic doctrine. But they thought his priorities were in the right place.
"I think we need a change, a different outlook. We've got to get out of the medieval" thinking of the church, said Wayne Porter of Worcester. "There has to be more emphasis on the law, the death penalty, human rights. It's needed, but there's too much of a focus on abortion and gay marriage."
Kevin Perry of Hyannis, who sings in the Latin choir and considers himself a conservative, stopped to talk as he accompanied a friend into the church.
"From what I've been able to gather, he doesn't want us just talking about the issues of abortion, birth control ... there are other issues. He feels as if we're going to turn people away," Mr. Perry said.
Mr. Perry said that listening to church leaders talk about the same issues all the time, without listening to different points of view, was "like listening to talk radio."
Mr. Perry disagreed with people who thought Pope Francis might have been saying he was for abortion. "He can't stray from that (opposition to abortion)," he said, "That's the company line."

Robin Thicke & Paula Patton Split After 8 Years of Marriage
Robin Thicke and his wife Paula Patton are ending their marriage after eight and a half years, her rep confirms to JustJared.com.
"We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time," the couple told People in a statement.
Robin and Paula met nearly 22 years ago and have been married since 2005. They are the parents to one son named Julian who was born in April 2010.
There have been rumors swirling about the couple's marriage ever since his racy video for "Blurred Lines" was released and then his scandalous performance with Miley Cyrus at the VMAs last year, but they persevered through those times together.
Robin and Paula were last seen together attending the 2014 Grammy Awards a few weeks ago.

Mysteries center around crimes. The most popular crimes are murders, but missing persons, thefts, and frauds also count. Whatever the crime is, it's a puzzle to be solved. Suspects are interviewed, crime scenes are scoured for clues, and there's a race to see who can solve the puzzle first, the reader or the detective.
Most mysteries run in series, following the same detective throughout the many novels. This list has the beginning case for many of today's popular fictional detectives.

Hospital treats, releases 3 of 4 wounded in Bourbon Street shooting during Mardi Gras revelry
NEW ORLEANS – Investigators in New Orleans are working to find suspects in a weekend shooting that wounded four on Bourbon Street during the countdown to Mardi Gras, while many revelers went on with their partying despite the violence.
Police said Sunday they were seeking the three men and that they have identified one suspect, but did not release the name in the Saturday night shooting.
The shootings wounded two men and two women, three of whom were treated and released Sunday. New Orleans Police spokesman Hilal Williams says one man hit in the abdomen, thigh and pelvis was in stable condition Sunday after surgery the previous night.

Posted on 27 Nov 2012 by Goldfarb Team
"I'm a people person," explains recent Goldfarb School of Nursing grad Jeremy Nelson. "So I planned on going to school to be a teacher. I never thought I would become a nurse and certainly didn't think I would join the Air Force." And although many people wouldn't put the words "nursing" and "Air Force" in the same sentence, Nelson does, because he felt God's hand leading him to both.
Because both his parents were in the nursing field, Nelson knows about the passion and dedication this career requires. He learned more about the profession as friends became nurses, and his interest in nursing grew as they encouraged him to consider the career for himself. Finally, after time spent working in retail, Nelson decided he wanted to start helping people facing real problems, not retail problems. As a nurse, he knew he could use his people skills to significantly impact lives every day. So at the age of 29, with a wife and baby at home, Nelson enrolled at Goldfarb and took his first nursing class.
In that class, Nelson learned about a number of career options, including military nursing. Nelson says, "I thought to myself…well, that's not going to happen. I have a wife, a baby, and I'm too old." Still, the option of joining the military intrigued him. He looked through some brochures and talked to other Goldfarb students – some older than Nelson, one with three kids – who had chosen the military. During the same time frame, Nelson's father-in-law suddenly passed away and was honored with a military funeral. With increased curiosity, Nelson reached out to his cousin-in-law, Alan Millais, a captain in the U.S. Air Force. "Alan really ignited my desire to join the military," says Nelson "So many things were leading me that direction; I felt called to join."
During his last term at Goldfarb, Nelson applied to the U.S. Air Force nursing program. Out of 250 applicants, only 50 were accepted. Nelson recalls how it felt when he received the acceptance phone call. "I said, 'This is Jeremy Nelson,' and the recruiter said, 'You mean Lieutenant Jeremy Nelson.' I was ecstatic!"
On October 27, at Goldfarb Hall during his commissioning ceremony, Nelson became a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. This winter Nelson will report to commissioned officer training to start his six-year commitment. "I will be a nurse first and an airman second," says Nelson.
Nelson looks forward to his time in the Air Force. He knows there will be numerous opportunities for him to learn and grow in the field of nursing and in personal character. He intends to seek an advanced nursing degree and ultimately hopes to earn a Doctorate of Nursing Practice. "It would be such an honor to teach others about serving people through nursing, but I never want to entirely leave the clinical setting."

Style # 212583
Hi-Lo Slub Sweater is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Leesh from I LOVE IT I absolutely love the fit!! Put a cami or tank underneath and I can wear it with shorts, jeans or a skirt. Definitely an all-purpose top!
Date published: 2013-05-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by sbrya28 from Unique Top! I purchased this in store in Black in size Small. I was immediately drawn to the intricate open yarn pattern, hi-low hem and boatneck design. I thought it looked a little big, but the salesperson indicated that it is a fitted top, which he was right; it definitely fits my curves well. The sleeves are very long, which the salesperson mentioned also. But the material allows the sleeves to be drawn back without getting bulky, so it's still a great top overall!

"Lady B's" Room with a View (to the Dining Room!)
Name: "Lady B" (2)
Location: Montreal, Canada
We really built our daughter's room before she was born. There was no wall between her bedroom and the living room so we built one! We wanted the light to be able to reach her room so we also built a nice window we can open so cold air from the air conditioner cango into her room during the summer and we can play together from the dining room!
A lot of friends told us it was a strange feeling watching her from the dining room but she can have privacy to sleep or during the day with the the custom-made blind we installed over her window.
The room is not huge but everything fits. We bought inexpensive furniture (crib, changing table and wardrobe from IKEA) as we know we will upgrade for new furniture sooner or later and we love how it looks like now. The drawing comes from France and Chile where we traveled too together. I love looking at them and remembering our trips. We used transparent boxes to be able to find her stuff quite fast in the mornings and it has worked well for 2 years!
Thanks, Julie!

Pujols homer not enough as Halos lose
The Chicago White Sox desperately needed a strong outing from one of their starters. Chris Sale provided it.
The 23-year-old left-hander pitched effectively into the sixth inning and the White Sox capitalized on some shoddy defense by the Los Angeles Angels for a 6-1 victory Thursday.
After a three-game stretch in which starters John Danks, Jake Peavy and Gavin Floyd gave up a combined 18 earned runs over 14 1/3 innings, Sale (4-2) restored order in his sixth major league start. He struck out seven and was working on a three-hit shutout in the sixth when he gave up a one-out homer to Albert Pujols and a double to Mark Trumbo and was replaced by Nate Jones.
"It was nice to see Chris have a good start," Chicago first baseman Paul Konerko said. "He had that little thing where he got out of the rotation for a week and missed a turn, and I think there's no question that it kind of blew his rhythm – because he didn't have a good game last time. So it was nice to see him get it back, because he was on his way to having a great year."
Sale joined lefty Steve Rosenberg (1989) as the only White Sox pitchers to give up three runs or less in each of their first six big league starts since divisional play began in 1969.
"I guess that's a cool stat, but it's obviously something I don't pay attention to at all," Sale said. "I have a job to do, and that's to go out and keep my team in the game, keep the other team to fewer runs on the board than the other starter and pitch deep into the game. That's my main focus."
A first-round draft pick in 2010, Sale was used exclusively in relief by the White Sox during his two previous seasons in the big leagues. Two of those relief outings were against the Angels, who got to see him again during spring training.
"He did a good job today and was pretty sharp, for the most part," Angels second baseman Howie Kendrick said. "He got outs and put up zeros, and that's what you want your starter to do. He's got a good two-seam fastball, he threw strikes and was able to get guys out with his breaking ball."
C.J. Wilson (4-4) threw 88 pitches in 3 2/3 innings and tied a career high with six walks. The left-hander was charged with four runs (one earned) and four hits. He also walked six Marlins batters on June 15, 2010, at Miami while pitching for the Texas Rangers.
"I had a little stomach virus today, so I couldn't really get anything going," Wilson said. "It was just weird. I almost passed out after the first inning. I didn't set a good tone, and that's pretty much my fault. I put the defense to sleep out there — and the bats, too, I guess."
A.J. Pierzynski delivered a two-out RBI single in the third to open the scoring, after flying out with the bases loaded to end the White Sox first. He was 3 for 5 with two RBI singles, and is 29 for 70 in his last 19 games at Angel Stadium.
Chicago tacked on three unearned runs in the fourth with the help of two balls that should have been caught and weren't. Angels center fielder Mike Trout started in right for the first time this season due to the absence of nine-time Gold Glove winner Torii Hunter because of his son's arrest in Texas, and dropped a routine flyball by Dyan Viciedo with one out.
Viciedo ended up at second base on the error, and Wilson walked the next two batters before Adam Dunn chased the left-hander with a two-run single. David Carpenter came in and Konerko hit a popup to short right field, but the ball fell in front of Kendrick after he called off Trout. It was scored as an RBI single.
"It was right in the sun," Kendrick said. "I made a mistake and had my sunglasses on my hat, and I should have had them on there. But I still have to make that play, regardless. We can't allow that to happen. We've got to make plays and give the team the best opportunity to win. Today we missed some flyballs, and we've got to work on that."
In the fifth, Alexei Ramirez's blooper fell between Trout and Kendrick for a hit after a leadoff single by Pierzynski. Viciedo followed with a flyball to short center, where Peter Bourjos converged with Trout and Kendrick before making the catch — resulting in a derisive cheer from the crowd of 30,786. Carpenter then fielded Brent Morel's comebacker and started a double play.
Viciedo led off the eighth with his sixth homer and third in a four-game span. Three batters later, three-time Gold Glove winner Vernon Wells scaled the fence in front of the left field bullpen and pulled back Gordon Beckham's bid for a two-run homer.
NOTES: Trumbo had a career-high four hits. … Dunn struck out his first two times up, increasing his major league-worst total to 59, and has at least one in 38 of his first 39 games. He led the majors in strikeouts three consecutive seasons while with Cincinnati (2004-06). … The Angels had gone 54 consecutive innings without an error before Trout's first miscue of the season in 17 starts in the outfield.

Moores School of Music Senior to Begin Graduate Studies at London's Guildhall School of Music
Each year, only 40 American students are named as Marshall Scholars. Those selected for this esteemed honor have the unique opportunity to study for two years at a higher learning institution in the United Kingdom.
Among the students who soon will be heading across the pond is University of Houston Moores School of Music (MSM) senior piano performance major Jessica Wei Zhu. She will begin her graduate studies at the Guildhall School of Music in London in September 2009.
"When I learned that I was a named a Marshall Scholar, it was a life-changing moment," Zhu said. "It's wonderful to have people believe in me and realize the value of student musicians. It gives me a great amount of hope that there will be continued support for young artists such as myself."
Zhu's talents have been noticed by Houston music aficionados through local performances. Statewide and nationally, she's also caught the public's ears through award-winning performances at music competitions and at concerts. Recently, she took first prize – a new Steinway piano – at the Collegiate Division of the Young Artist Piano Competition of the Music Teachers National Association in Denver, Colo. She also finished first at the 2007/2008 Texas Music Teachers Association Competition, the 2006 Young Texas Artists Music Competition and the 2004 Kingsville International Young Performers Competitions.
"We are very proud that one of our most outstanding graduates has received this prestigious scholarship," said David Ashley White, director of MSM. "I have long been impressed with Jessica's great talent as a pianist and her prowess as a scholar. She will represent UH well!"
Guiding Zhu through her musical development at UH has been Nancy Weems, professor of piano at MSM. Zhu credits Weems' experience as both a musician and a mentor in assisting her growth as a pianist.
"One of the greatest things she's helped me with is helping me see the bigger picture of what I want to do in life," Zhu said. "She is very nurturing as a teacher, and knows what kind of guidance I need, whether it's during a rehearsal or a competition. She's trying to help me become both a better musician and someone who is going to contribute to society."
Zhu was born in Shanghai, China, and moved to the Houston area when she was 11. She picked up the piano as a young girl, and when she was in junior high, she met Weems while taking lessons from her husband John.
Weems admitted that she will miss one of her best students but is incredibly happy about this recent accomplishment.
"This is a very special moment for her and everyone who is close to her," Weems said. "I am looking forward to hearing about her future success and soon having her as a colleague instead of a student."
Marshall Scholarships were established in 1953 and named after former U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall. They are mainly funded by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office and are overseen by the Marshall Commission. In the U.S., the selection process is managed by the regional Consulates General in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco, and in Washington, D.C., by the British Council on behalf of the British Embassy.
"With the knowledge I gain as a Marshall Scholar, I hope to make a difference in my community whether it's as a soloist, chamber musician, recitalist, teacher or church musician," Zhu said. "I am very eager to learn from my experience in the U.K."
MSM is one of the premier music schools in America. Offering bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, it serves approximately 600 students annually. Areas of study include composition, conducting, performance, theory and musicology. Its faculty consists of internationally recognized performers, composers and scholars. Among its ensembles are the Moores School Symphony Orchestra, Moores Jazz Ensemble, Moores Opera Center, Concert Chorale, Concert Women's Chorus, Spirit of Houston Cougar Marching Band, Wind Ensemble and Percussion Ensemble. A majority of the school's concerts are performed in the 800 seat Moores Opera House. For more details on the Moores School of Music, visit http://www.music.uh.edu/.
About the University of Houston
The University of Houston, Texas' premier metropolitan research and teaching institution, is home to more than 40 research centers and institutes and sponsors more than 300 partnerships with corporate, civic and governmental entities. UH, the most diverse research university in the country, stands at the forefront of education, research and service with more than 35,000 students.

Thank this author by sharing:
By Steve Jones,
2005/07/01 (first published: 2001/11/01)
When DTS was released, I thought this was a useful, but overhyped tool. After all, I'd spent seven
years developing all types of SQL applications that made do with xp_cmdshell for anything that I
couldn't do in T-SQL. Then last year, I started working for a company that used a "Managed" service
for it's website. Bascially this means that we paid some company a rental fee for servers and they
kept the servers running, backed up, patched, etc. in a data center. The data center I used happened to
be in Dallas, which is fine. Except, I live in Denver. Kind of a hassle for hands-on work. Fortunately
we were running on Windows 2000 and DTS can in very handy for building some data
transfer applications.
Recently we moved to another data center in Denver and upgraded to SQL Server 2000. Tada!!!!!
Finally, DTS included an FTP task. I eagerly dug into DTS (with the aid
Professional SQL Server 2000 DTS) and got ready to develop an automated task to send the
database backups to my development server each night.
I perform local backups from SQL Server and then need to copy these
to a remote server. In the current setup, I wanted to copy them to a utility server on the local network,
but a server that was not part of the domain (for security reasons). This makes transfers using standard
Windows file copy utilities problematic. The solution that I wanted to use was ftp since this is a standard, open solution. At the present time,
all my servers are Windows, but the possibility exists that we may implement some Linux or Unix servers.
One problem: The FTP task only "Gets" files.
How absolutely, completely, totally annoying! How much effort is there to "push" files when you
have already written an object to "Get" them!!!!!!! (SQL Server Team, hint, hint).
Never fear! I am not so easily deterred. When I was
using a managed solution, the backups were performed once a day using a maintenance task.
I created a batch file that would ftp the *.BAK files from the backup
directory using the native ftp client in Windows 2000 and a scheduled task,
I transferred this to my office and then had a separate batch file that would
rename it. This worked great since there was only one backup file each day in
the backup directory. In the new data center, however, we had cranked down the
backups and were making one every six hours and keeping the previous 4. Plus I
now needed to transfer copies of the backup files to a secondary server where
they could be backed up to tape more often.
The solution was to leverage the ActiveX Scripting task as well as the
Execute Process task in DTS. And a little understanding of the ftp client and
batch file automation. Let's examine the ftp client first.
If I wanted to automate the sending of a series of files, I can build a text
file that contains the commands I want the ftp client to run. Of course, to do
this, I need to know the file names of all the files. I then call the ftp client
with the -s option and include the name of my text file. Suppose I wanted to
send two files from my system (c:\test1.txt and c:\test2.txt) using ftp, I could create a text file that
contains the following:
open ftp.test.com
put c:\test1.txt
put c:\test2.txt
I'd then save this as "c:\ftpauto.txt". If I then run the following
ftp -s:"c:\ftpauto.txt"
This command will connect to the ftp.test.com server. Once it connected, the next two lines send the user
name and password. The remaining lines (before the quit) send specific files to the server. The "quit" command
ends the session.
The test1.txt and test2.txt files would be sent to the ftp site automatically. This gets us the first part of the
solution. We now know how to automate an ftp "put". Now on to the next part, determing which files to
I am sure most of you can guess this part, but it is
a fairly simple exercise in the use of the FileSystemObject. If you have never used it, the
FileSystemObject allows you to manipulate files and folders in the file system of a
computer. This object is very powerful and includes methods for creating, deleteing, moving, copying, listing, etc. for both
files and folders.
For my purposes, I needed to scan all the backup folders and get the latest
backup files under each folder as well as any transaction backups that had not been
transferred. The last transfer date was stored in a global variable in the package. This will
be described below in The DTS Package. The other scripting was
implemented in the VB Script below:
' Copy latest backups
Function Main()
On Error Resume Next
Dim strDestPath, fNewFile, strSourcePath, fOldFile, sBackup
Dim fso, f, f1, fc, fcreated, fname, fldrItem, fldrName
Dim objTxtFile, baseDate
' Initialize the variables
strSourcePath = "c:\Program Files\MSSQL\Backup"
strDestPath = "c:\SQL_Backups"
fcreated = DTSGlobalVariables("LastXfr").value
BaseDate = CDate( fcreated)
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
' Create the Text File
Set objTxtFile = fso.CreateTextFile( strSourcePath & "\ftpSend.txt", TRUE)
' Write the Header
objTxtFile.writeline( "open 192.168.1.104" )
objTxtFile.writeline( "FTPSQLBackup" )
objTxtFile.writeline( "SendItNow" )
objTxtFile.writeline( "cd SQLBackup" )
Set f = fso.GetFolder(strSourcePath)
For Each fldrItem in f.SubFolders
Set fc = fldrItem.Files
fldrName = fldrItem.name
fname = " "
For Each f1 in fc
If f1.DateCreated > BaseDate Then
objTxtFile.writeline( "put """ & strSourcePath & "\" & fldrname & "\" & f1.name & """")
End If
objTxtFile.writeline( "quit" )
Set objTxtFile = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
The first part of the script writes the header portion of the ftp file. This
part includes the lines
' Create the Text File
Set objTxtFile = fso.CreateTextFile( strSourcePath & "\ftpSend.txt", TRUE)
' Write the Header
objTxtFile.writeline( "open 192.168.1.104" )
objTxtFile.writeline( "FTPSQLBackup" )
objTxtFile.writeline( "SendItNow" )
objTxtFile.writeline( "cd SQLBackup" )
The next section is designed to loop through all the folders in my backup folder (stored in strSourcePath).
First I create a handle to work with and then set the "f" variable to the folder handle. I then
Set f = fso.GetFolder(strSourcePath)
For Each fldrItem in f.SubFolders
Set fc = fldrItem.Files
fldrName = fldrItem.name
The DTS package is built by including the ActiveX task above. In addition, there is a global variable in the
package that stores the last transfer date for the set of backup files. I populate this using the dynamic properties
task to read a datetime value from a table and update the global variable. This allows me to send files that were
created after a particular datetime.
The last part of the solution was to implement a job under SQL Agent. This job consisted of two steps: one to
run the DTS package and create the ftp file and the second to run the ftp client with the -s parameter and the file
name created in part 1.
I know there are any number of COM wrappers over
utilities that will implement this same functionality. However, these solutions
have two downfalls for me:
This solution gives me good control over the transmission of the ftp files. It also keeps the solution inside
SQL Server. I am taking advantage of only components that exist on all my SQL Servers without having to install any
additional software.
As always, I am sure some of you will have great ideas to extend this technique or will point out any flaws. Please

The Spiral Garden System: A Self-Sufficient Urban Garden
I've seen some incredible urban garden systems created by true visionaries, but I've never seen something quite like this. The Spiral Garden System is designed to inspire sustainability and to serve as a visual reminder of how close we can be to our own food systems. Thought up by a group of Spanish designers, the system is designed to be completely self-sufficient. Learn how after the jump!
Acting as a hub for sustainability, the garden system is designed to be self-sufficient in its resource input while also providing a place for community and even bike storage! Their goal was to design something for a city that values the environment just as much as other aspects of city life. The spiral design embraces resource recycling, so water can trickle through the system over time. It is an urban take on a shared garden, similar to a CSA, where the neighbors voluntarily participate to tend to the plants. The spiral garden system won its designers Saida Salmau, Anna Julibert, and Carmen Vilar second place in the Iida Awards of 2010.
I love the exterior of mesh, which helps share the vegetation with the rest of city dwellers in the most unexpected places. As for the food production, I'd like to learn more. Since air pollution can be quite high in some cities, I want to learn about its capabilities to help clean the air and still produce healthy food. We'll just have to wait to see if the idea is picked up by a visionary city, though.
What do you think? Would you want this in city centers like New York's Times Square?

STOCKHOLM (AP) -- Lindsey Vonn will skip the first World Cup slalom of the season in Finland this weekend, choosing instead to prepare for home races in Colorado.
U.S. Ski Team spokesman Doug Haney says Vonn "has had an incredible preparation period" so far, but will focus on the only U.S. stop on the women's circuit on Nov. 24-25 in Aspen, Colo.
Vonn's request to compete in a men's World Cup downhill race was rejected Saturday by the International Ski Federation.
Vonn, a four-time overall World Cup champion, wanted to enter the men's downhill on Nov. 24 at Lake Louise, Alberta. If she had been allowed to race against the men, she would have missed the two races in Aspen because they're on the same weekend.

After three years of planning and analysis, a new parking lot slated for construction at Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort looks like it might be a go.
Last month, the United States Forest Service issued a draft record of decision authorizing the construction of the 7.2-acre, 878-car "Twilight" parking lot proposed by Meadows. The lot is to be located east of Elk Meadows trailhead and west of the Oregon Department of Transportation maintenance yard off of Highway 35 near the entrance to the Hood River Meadows lot. A new bus and snow equipment parking and maintenance building is proposed for co-location with the lot.
In addition to the Twilight lot, the draft decision also authorized the construction of a new 9,750-square-foot vehicle maintenance shop that would be located near the Sunrise parking lot and used by the resort to replace the current shop near the main lodge. Also co-located with the Twilight lot is a proposed 2,100-square-foot Nordic guest services building that would include bathrooms, lockers, food and beverage services, guest seating, Nordic equipment rental, as well as a covered bus stop. New turn lanes on Highway 35 near the Hood River Meadows access road — officially known as Forest Service Road 3545 — would also need to be constructed.
Meadows, which operates in the Mt. Hood National Forest via a permit from the forest service, first proposed the expansion in April 2009, citing the need to update its maintenance facilities as well as provide more parking to accommodate the rising number of skiers and snowboarders visiting the resort.
According to the draft decision, when Meadows first opened during the 1967-68 ski season, the resort logged 55,564 skier visits. Forty years later, the number of visitations peaked at over 500,000 for the 2007-08 season.
Most of the time, parking isn't an issue at Meadows, but on weekends and other days, parking lots at Meadows can near or reach capacity. During the first big snow of the season back in early January, all 2,648 parking spaces in Meadows' three lots filled within 90 minutes of opening, forcing the resort to run shuttles from the Mt. Hood Country Store and Welches Middle School where skiers had parked their cars and waited anxiously to be taken up to the mountain. According to the draft decision, anecdotal evidence shows 250 cars are turned away on peak days, while other visitors "have continued to attempt to find additional parking in other less desirable and potentially dangerous locations, such as alongside Highway 35 or Forest Service Road 3545."
Others were not so convinced. USFS received 16 comments from individuals and organizations, some of whom challenged the necessity of clearing forestland to build another parking lot when current lots at Meadows often still have open spaces. Others were concerned about the impacts to Nordic skiing trails, as the proposal would require the removal of approximately half a mile of trail, including portions of the Lower Hanel Loop Trail, Little Loop Trail, and Beargrass Loop inside the Meadows permit area.
According to the draft decision, though, attendance at Meadows has risen 3.4 percent annually, on average, over the past 10 years. Assuming the trend continues with Portland's rising population, USFS estimates that Meadows will "see peak-use days reach maximum capacity of the proposed parking area in an estimated 10 to 15 years."
Dave Tragethon, executive director of sales and communications at Meadows, also reported that the proposal would relocate the Nordic trails immediately to the northwest of their current location and actually result in a net gain of a tenth of mile of trail. He released a statement on behalf of Meadows that was supportive of the USFS draft decision.
"Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort concurs with the preferred alternative selected by District Ranger Janeen Tervo," the statement read. "We agree that the Selected Alternative (Alternative 6) considers all comments received during the scoping period, field trip, and notice and comment period, and balances the comments received from stakeholders along with the environmental consequences. The decision concludes there is a need to provide additional parking within the Mt. Hood Meadows permit area and this alternative best addresses that need while responding to the public comments received during the scoping period and throughout the planning process."
USFS analyzed six alternatives in earnest before deciding on the selected alternative, which it felt did the best job of balancing environmental concerns, Nordic skier concerns, and fulfilling the parking and maintenance needs of Meadows.
Those who have qualms with the draft decision and who have supplied comment to USFS during the comment period may file an objection with USFS by March 3. USFS will issue a final decision at an unknown date after considering any filed objections, after which the decision may be immediately implemented.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Meeting of November 20, 2008 – Employment Discrimination Faced by Individuals with Arrest and Conviction Records
Shawn D. Bushway is an Associate Professor of Criminal Justice in the School of Criminal Justice at the University at Albany. He is also the associate director of the Program on the Economics of Crime and Justice Policy at the University of Maryland. He received his Ph.D. in Public Policy Analysis and Political Economy in 1996 from the Heinz School of Public Policy and Management at Carnegie Mellon University. He is a member of the editorial boards of Criminology and the Journal of Quantitative Criminology, and is an expert on the statistical analysis of crime data.
Professor Bushway has conducted research on a number of topics relevant to the reentry discussion. He conducted a major review with Peter Reuter showing that crime prevention programs based in the labor market have some potential to reduce crime, especially for older offenders. He also studied the link between criminal history and employment programs, showing that arrest leads to problems in the labor market. This work also highlighted how the link between race and criminal history records could lead to discrimination against African American men if employers were denied access to criminal history records. Bushway also led a study which documented that the a criminal history record search by a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) search missed substantially more ex-offenders than an FBI criminal history record search, raising serious questions about the accuracy of these types of private searches.
Of course, even after the criminal history search is done, employers need to make use of the information to make intelligent hiring decisions. Bushway has co-written two articles which look at how recidivism rates decline as people who are released from prison remain uninvolved with the criminal justice system over time. This long term follow-up of formerly incarcerated individuals fits well with Professor Bushway's larger research agenda on measuring and explaining desistance from crime.

How is youth ministry today like the latest menu item at KFC? You might be surprised.
A point of clarification: I'm not suggesting that doing activities that are purely for fun and fellowship is wrong. Play is an important part of creating community. The danger comes when we get caught in the trap of making such activities the center and focus of our ministries together because we want to keep youth coming (and this can and does happen.). Additionally, I'm not suggesting that going on overseas mission trips is a poor idea. In fact, such trips might be exactly what your group is gifted to do. But hopefully groups who take such trips do so because they feel particularly called to such mission and not because of the attraction of the exotic locale. I would also hope that groups who travel overseas also seek amazing ways to commit to "mission trips" right in their own backyard.
Much of this comes down to: Why are you doing what you are doing in your ministry? Are you focused on attracting teens or discipling youth?

Quietly Quirky: 10 Interesting & Irreverent New Wallpapers
Quirk doesn't have to equal candy colors or hit-you-over-the-head visual humor — often it's the sly motif, the unexpected flash of irreverance in an otherwise staid color story or pattern repeat, that makes a wallpaper pattern design interesting...as well as something you can live with longer.
Here are 10 patterns that I saw while walking the floor of ICFF that fit this unusual yet attractive mold — they are low key upon first glance but have a depth, darkness or just plain unexpected twist upon contemplation.
Shown above:
1. Faded grandeur and delicate decay from Gina Pierce Design
2. Puppies, butterflies and skeletons from Elli Popp
3. Tye dye adds a bit of a funky edge to walls from Eskayel
4. A foggy forest from Trove
5. Traditional layout plus day of the dead imagery from Espacio by Sami Hayek
6. A tourist's nightmare of a London map from Gina Pierce Design
7. A damp, moody floral from Trove
8. Victoriana plus firearms from Elli Popp
9. Overall floral with a few snakes from Flavor Paper
10. More tye dye from Eskayel
