The 1999-2000 and 2000-01 seasons managed only five or six newbies, compared to the dozen new plays that have graced the current legit session. In the past 10 years, only one season, 2003-04, saw more new works, and those 13 included such short-lived duds as "Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks," "The Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All" and "Prymate" — all major contenders for the brick walls of Joe Allen restaurant. The 2009-10 season easily beats 2003-04 in the quality department, and, if they so desired, the Tony Awards committee could look no further than American scribes to put together an entirely credible list of four nominated works from the titles "In the Next Room" by Sarah Ruhl, "Next Fall" by Geoffrey Nauffts, "Race" by David Mamet, "Red" by John Logan, "A Steady Rain" by Keith Huff, "Superior Donuts" by Tracy Letts and "Time Stands Still" by Donald Margulies. At this close glance, one would have to go back to the 1984-85 season ("As Is," "Biloxi Blues," "Hurlyburly," "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom") to find equal breadth and depth from a list of nommed American plays. Not that the Brits and Irish have exactly abdicated this year's Tony race. But in both cases, the playwrights have chosen American subjects: Lucy Prebble's "Enron" arrives with great London buzz, and thanks to a 19-member ensemble, which has been recast with Yanks, the production could turn into the legit event of the spring season. "A Behanding in Spokane" also looks to be a contender, and one that couldn't be more international. An Irish playwright (Martin McDonagh) and director (John Crowley) chose Broadway for their world premiere, and cast the play with three Hollywood stars (Christopher Walken, Anthony Mackie and Sam Rockwell).

Of course, this year being a presidential election year, you can't avoid talking about politics or religion. We've been up to our hips in Republicans who thought they should be the president, and there have been religious implications surrounding most of them. At least two of them, Rick Perry and Herman Cain, said God told them to run. Both of have since dropped out, indicating they either misunderstood God, who was really telling to them run for president of the local Chamber of Commerce, or they were listening to someone else they mistook for God. Rick Santorum is running — without a lot of success since Iowa — to make this country moral again, and Newt Gingrich is a Baptist turned Catholic who has had some particular difficulty with one of the Ten Commandments in the past, making him a poster child for what Mr. Santorum thinks is wrong with the country.
Mitt Romney, of course, is a Mormon, a religion that has a few beliefs that aren't quite in sync with most other Christian denominations, so much so that there are those who insist Mormons aren't Christian at all.
Then there's Ron Paul, who doesn't talk a lot about religion, but apparently developed some of his ideas from reading Ayn Rand, an atheist whose philosophy holds that "Man's first duty is to himself," a statement somewhat the opposite of the "I am third" (after Jesus and everybody else) philosophy I learned in Sunday School.
And it probably won't change much after the election. Somewhere between 20 percent and half of Republican voters think Barack Obama is a Muslim trying to impose Sharia law on us, or maybe the anti-Christ, who's out to tattoo three sixes on everybody's forehead. Others still question his faith because his former pastor back in Chicago said some pretty mean things about our fair country. Consequently, I'm sure we'll hear more religious rhetoric during the campaign.
The reality of the race, though, is that the real issue in the race for most people is not religion, but the economy, especially job creation. Every one of those candidates, with the possible exception of Mr. Santorum, is running because he thinks he knows how to create jobs, get the economy running again, and save the country from the evils of European Socialism.
That's pretty much the normal election issue. The main theme in every election I've paid attention to has almost always been the economy, unless there was a war going on. Even when the economy was doing pretty good back in the '90s, Bob Dole's presidential campaign was telling us it wasn't good enough, for example, and I'm pretty sure that, had a Republican been making the State of the Union speech last week and the economy was in the same shape it is today, the president would have said much the same thing Barack Obama said. Some things don't change much.
What it boils down to is that, if evangelical Christians think Mr. Romney can improve the economy, they'll put aside his religion and vote for him. And they'll overlook Mr. Gingrich's Seventh Commandment issues if they think he can do it, exactly as they did in South Carolina last week. And if, by chance, the economy starts recovering, Mr. Obama will get the votes despite the fears of those who think he's a Muslim.
That's natural, because when we vote for the president, we are voting for a secular office, not a spiritual one. The government's concern is worldly matters — the economy, for one — while, as Jesus insisted, his kingdom "is not of this world." And though most of us won't admit it, we are much more concerned with our economic situation than we are with our relationship with God.
Regardless of his religion, the president, no matter who he is, can't change that.

Thadeus FreiMar 15 2012: To understand leadership I think we must begin with defining what it means to be a leader. I think a leader is anyone who is virtuous, that is anyone who is wise, wisdom can be interpreted as humility and creativity which are simply functions of perspective.With this in mind, I think that everyone has the potential to be a leader, this is because a true leader follows and allows just as much as she/he advises. In this way a flow of leaders and followers becomes a continuum where each realizes their temporal place.
I haven't read all the posts here so I apologize if this has already been stated. The idea of a leader who points the way seems rather antiquated. However their are deep pockets of specializations and in some ways few people with a "general" expertise to connect these different fields. The question here is about communication, how we can be more cohesive and dynamic, a leader as a catalyst is certainly part of the solution but I think something less "spear headed" may be the next step.

by Willy Marante, Reebok Super Spartan Miami Finisher
Definition of Spartan: Courageous in the face of pain, danger, or adversity.
This couldn't be any more true. Those 3 words describe exactly everything I endured before, during and the last 48 hours leading up to race day.
I can honestly say that this race, the training, and the people I've met along the way have changed my life forever. Over 6 months ago, I was in a deep stage of depression. I had literally hit rock bottom! I needed a change. I decided to go running one day and it felt therapeutic. With every step I felt the pain and anger leave my body.
One day, as I was riding down Hollywood Beach; a buddy of mine started talking to me about CrossFit. I decided to look into it and take a beginners class. Dominick and all the coaches at Caution CrossFit have been nothing short of amazing. It's not a gym it's like family. I decided to try a competition.
At the competition, I came across The Spartan Race table. I had been hearing a few guys around the box talking about this race and I was somewhat intrigued by it, I had the greatest luxury of meeting Miami Race Manager and Street Team Member Geishel Valverde. I started to inquire questions about this race; one of my best friends had recently talked me into signing up for a 5k mud run (to this day I still don't know how I let her talk me into it). Ms. Valverde and I spoke and she gave me a link and a wristband that says, "Unbreakable." Little does anyone know that I never took that band off since then; it became a reminder to me every day of what was to come and of what my new goal would be.
I signed up for the email of Spartan WOD, continued my CrossFit and my dieting. The dieting was the toughest element to my training. I was a regular junk food, fast food drive thru type of guy. And working in the nightclub industry didn't make it any easier.
I felt like a little kid learning how to eat again. Reading on nutrition and learning about the proper way to fuel my body. Going to the gym while trying to finish a WOD and not being able to complete that task and even a simple run at times I would question myself by asking, "What am I doing?" Slowly but surely, I found myself completing the WODS, my endurance was getting better and I was running further along with every lift, squat, and burpee I got better.
Early January I suffered the death of my cousin; a woman who was like a sister and supported my every move, decision and crazy idea. The lost completely got me off track and off from what had become my daily routine/lifestyle. I had stopped training, WOD, and dieting. I was so down and depressed that I had begun to think I wouldn't do the race. A conversation with a friend convinced me to keep trying.
The week of the race, things were miserable. I wasn't feeling good, the depression was kicking in again, and even the day before the race I had my car broken into and had things stolen. My mind was only telling me. I knew I was being tested.
Saturday, February 23rd I told my friend I wasn't running and she said, "You're not running for time, you're not going to come in first but you have to run it and finish what you've started, you go, you line up and you give yourself the opportunity, if you should happen to fail then you fail trying, covered in dirt, mud, blood and tears not failing from home in bed."
I began thinking to myself, "I have worked hard. I've never quit anything I've started. I've always been a fighter. I fight every day I'm in the box, I fight for my family, and I'm a fighter! I told myself at the beginning I would finish this race as a birthday present to myself (February 25th is my birthday) and I specifically chose this to say for that.
I told myself, "I'm not challenging Spartan, Spartan is challenging me and I challenge it to beat me and not let me cross."
Throughout the race there were some challenges: running, crawling, swimming, sliding and jumping. Thinking back and analyzing it now I realize it's more of a mental than physical challenge. Around the 5 1/2 mile mark, I was running out of gas. I thought back to everyone who has ever told me, "You won't, you can't, and that's crazy," All of a sudden I had the energy I needed. Around the last leg I stopped to breathe. I looked up at the sky and I told my angels (my grandpa, my brother, cousin and many others) "I know you guys are all with me and will carry me to the end."
As I got to the final wall climb and slid down all muddy, weary and tired I caught sight of the finish line and it was like a sudden burst of adrenaline came through me. As I got my medal, I threw myself on the floor and cried the tears of joy knowing that this would serve as a reminder that I need to keep fighting, that I can do anything I set my mind to and that anything is possible when you put your heart and soul into it!
Thank You, Spartan Race!
Spartan will be in Florida TWICE in 2014. Orlando, January 11th for a Spartan Sprint and Miami April 12th and 13th for a Super Spartan. Register today for an event near you!

The Apple Store app has added a quick scan and pay feature for Australian shoppers, to get what they want in a hurry.
Apple's iPod-Touch-based point-of-sale system, dubbed EasyPay, had been rumored to be available for third-party retailers looking for a mobile solution to their sales experience.
Apple is in the process of retiring its massive fleet of Windows CE handhelds, made by Symbol Technologies, with custom-designed iPod Touches. See what they look like.
AppleInsider got ahold of some photos of Apple's new custom-designed iPod Touches, which will be used at checkout at Apple Stores.
Apple's self-checkout option works relatively smoothly, though there are some potential stumbling blocks along the way.
In what seems like a natural step, Apple will let store customers start using its own Passbook app for purchases, say blog sites TUAW and 9to5Mac.
Version 2.0 of the Apple Store app gives iPhone users the ability to order a product online, pick it up in a store, and pay for the item via self-checkout.
Customers could soon be able to walk out of Apple retail stores with new swag without having to stop at the register, according to a report.
Updates to the Apple Store app could also let customers order online, pick up at a local store, and even pay via their iPhone.
Apple's retail outlets could be in the midst of some internal strife, with a new report pointing to budget cuts and lower employee morale.

Adobe Issues Security Advisory for Flash Player
A security advisory warning has been issued by Adobe for a critical vulnerablity in its Flash Player 10.2.153.1 and more.
According to the advisory, "A critical vulnerability exists in Flash Player 10.2.153.1 and earlier versions (Adobe Flash Player 10.2.154.25 and earlier for Chrome users) for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris, Adobe Flash Player 10.2.156.12 and earlier versions for Android, and the Authplay.dll component that ships with Adobe Reader and Acrobat X (10.0.2) and earlier 10.x and 9.x versions for Windows and Macintosh operating systems."
This vulnerablility could, according to Adobe, cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
"We are in the process of finalizing a schedule for delivering updates for Flash Player 10.2.x and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris and Android, Adobe Acrobat X (10.0.2) and earlier 10.x and 9.x versions for Windows and Macintosh, Adobe Reader X (10.0.2) for Macintosh, and Adobe Reader 9.4.3 and earlier 9.x versions for Windows and Macintosh," writes Adobe "Because Adobe Reader X Protected Mode would prevent an exploit of this kind from executing, we are currently planning to address this issue in Adobe Reader X for Windows with the next quarterly security update for Adobe Reader, currently scheduled for June 14, 2011."

text: The Space Jam wiki last edited by cxhgrunt on 01/05/14 12:49PM View full history OverviewSpace Jam is a 3-on-3 arcade basketball game developed by Sculptured and published by Acclaim for the PlayStation, Saturn, and PC in 1996/1997. It is the spiritual sequel to Sculptured's other Looney Tunes-themed basketball game (Looney Tunes B-Ball), tying into the 1996 film of the same name.The game is set in a basketball match (in similar vein to the NBA Jam franchise) between the Tune Stars (a group of Looney Tunes characters, with the help of a then-retired NBA superstar Michael Jordan) and the Monstars (a group of criminal aliens, called "The Nerdlucks", who have literally stolen the basketball talent of famous NBA players). Before the match starts (and in-between match quarters), players can participate in a variety of mini-games loosely based on events in the movie (and can gain advantages in the main game by winning them).Friend of the site Dave Lang programmed some of the menus and mini-games of the Sega Saturn version of the game.

Asthma Symptoms: Do You Suffer?
Got Asthma?
It's spring in New York. I know because despite the cold and rain, my annual allergies have arrived with a vengeance. The symptoms: coughing, sneezing, nasal congestion even to the point that it's hard for me to sleep.
In most people these discomforts would get suffered in silence. But given my tendency toward hypochondria, I a) tell my friends who are of little help, then b) compulsively search the internet and c) inevitably shudder to imagine that, somehow, my entire list of complaints pop up in stories about asthma.
As it turns out, I don't think I've got asthma because, according to my semi-obsessive Google investigations, I don't fall into any of the high-risk groups. Do you?
Heredity: You definitely inherit the predisposition to asthma. In fact, docs think that 60% of all asthma cases are rooted in heredity. According to a CDC report, if one of your parents has asthma, you're 3-6 times more likely to get it than someone without this genetic link.
Gender: In kids, asthma is more common among boys than girls. Once we reach our 20's, the ratio equalizes. And by age 40, more women have it than men.
Cigarette Smoke: Several studies confirm that smoking increases risk. There's also research indicating that if you smoked when you were in your teens, you're at increased risk later on. Even more findings link exposure to secondhand smoke with development of asthma in kids. And finally, if your mom smoked while she was pregnant with you, then you are at increased risk for having been born prematurely and with lower lung function—both of which are linked to developing asthma.
Weight: Seven unrelated studies find that asthma is nearly 40% more common in overweight adults (those with a BMI greater than 25 but less than 30) and almost twice as common in those with a BMI of 30+).
Socioeconomic Background: Asthma is more common in economically disadvantaged communities, so it's not surprising to learn that in Los Angeles (where one study was conducted) three times as many African-American school children are hospitalized annually for asthma as are white kids. Twice as many Latino kids are hospitalized compared to whites.
Indoor Allergies: Indoor allergies are definitely an asthma predictor. These include dust mite allergies, cat allergies and dog allergies. One nationwide study showed that levels of indoor allergens directly linked to asthma symptoms and inhaler use. Another showed that kids living in homes with high concentrations of these allergens are 5 times more likely to develop asthma.
So I'm grateful that my parents are asthma-free, glad I'm a woman, relieved that I've never smoked, weighed in at a chubby 7lb 4 oz at birth, proud I try to stick to a pretty healthy diet (except around pasta!), and have learned to use all-natural allergy products to lower the levels of indoor allergens in my apartment.
Now, if I can just find something to help with my hypochondria. That can't be fatal, can it?

JACKSON PARISH, La. (KNOE 8 News) - A contractor killed in an accident Tuesday at the RockTenn paper mill in Hodge has been identified.
Deep South, a company the contractor was working for, confirmed the victim as Marks Harold Parrott of Ruston. Funeral arrangements have been set at the North Crossett First Baptist Church in Crossett, Arkansas, Saturday at 2.
Parrot died after he and two other workers became trapped inside of a tank on Tuesday. The other two victims were treated and released earlier this week, their names have not been released. The cause of the accident is still unknown and under investigation.
Previous story:
According to RockTenns Communications Director Robin Keegan the cause of the accident still isn't known.
"As to the cause of the accident we are in the process of conducting an investigation we are working very closely with the contracting companies with required authorities and we are in the process of making that determination at this point" says Keegan.
Keegan says the accident very disconcerting and that RockTenn hopes a tragedy like this will make everyone double check their safety procedures.
KNOE 8 News has learned that one of two workers cleaning out a tank at the RockTenn plant in Hodge did not make it out of the tank alive. A third contract employee, inspecting the work, was also injured.
Two of the three contract employees involved in Tuesday's accident worked for Deep South. The third worked for Pulp Mill Contractors.
According to Deep South Spokesperson Dewey Seymour, his two contractors were inside a tank in the mill cleaning it out. One of the Deep South workers came out of the tank with burns. That worker was taken to the hospital in Jackson Parish. Seymour says the second Deep South worker did not make it out and died in the tank.
An employee with Pulp Mill Contractors, was also sent to LSU Hospital and is in ICU with burn injuries. Pulp Mill Contractors Spokesperson Ronnie Marsh says the employee was inspecting the tank and fell into what is called "black liquor."
The names of the workers are not being released. RockTenn has issued no statements regarding what happened at the mill.
Previous Report:
JACKSON PARISH, La. (KNOE 8 News) - UPDATE: We now know that there has not been an explosion at the RockTenn paper mill in Hodge. However, we are told that three contractors for the mill fell into a tank around 10:00 Tuesday morning.
What is inside the tank is unknown. According to City of Hodge Chief of Police Johny Shively, two of the victims have been taken to Jackson Parish Hospital and are suffering severe injuries.
A helicopter was called to airlift the victims elsewhere. Efforts are still underway to retrieve the third victim from the tank.
Hodge Police say the public is not in danger and the incident has been contained. Original reports indicated there had possibly been an explosion at the plant.
Previous report:
Jackson Parish Sheriff Andy Brown confirms that emergency crews have been sent to the RockTenn (former Smurfit-Stone) paper mill in Hodge.
KNOE has been told there has been a possible explosion within the facility. We have contacted the mill but they will not comment on any injuries or the extent of damage to the plant.
Reports from those on the scene indicate as many as three people have been injured and some of those have been airlifted for medical treatment.
KNOE 8 News has a crew en route to Hodge and will have updates throughout the day on KNOE.COM and during KNOE 8 News at Noon, 5p, 6p and 10p.

Remember Venus?
When L. Ron Hubbard gave dianetics to a wondering world (TIME, July 24, 1950), it looked as though he had claimed everything in sight, and more. "The hidden source of all psychosomatic ills and human aberration has been discovered," he wrote then, "and skills have been developed for their invariable cure." But to Science Fictioneer Hubbard, these achievements soon seemed like kid stuff. He broke with the Hubbard Dianetic Foundation in Wichita, "to further pursue investigations into the incredible and fantastic," as the foundation puts it. Now, the founder of still another cult, he claims to have discovered...

Frida Ghitis' Feb. 9 article, Just in case the thinkable happens, described how Israel prepares for large-scale disasters and hosts and trains first responders from all over the globe to be prepared for these large scale terrorist attacks.
How ironic that many of the same countries that participate in the training have threatened Israel with boycott because of Israel's failure to return the land to the very people who perpetrate those terrorist attacks.

Monday, November 19, 2012 - Diabetes: It's Important to be Educated
If you've been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes, you may be overwhelmed with information. Taking care of your diabetes does make a difference! You will not only feel better, but good blood sugar control can help delay and even prevent the risk of diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, blindness and nerve damage.
At the
Fort Sanders Diabetes Center
, a team of certified diabetes educators works with each client to develop a lifestyle plan. "We provide the patient with an individualized meal plan, food preferences and weight goal," explains Lucy Deatherage of the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center. "We give people the tools to manage their diabetes."
Classes at the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center focus on nutritional and lifestyle changes that can help you control your disease. Meal planning is demonstrated with food models, so patients can visualize appropriate portion sizes and practice reading actual food labels.
Deatherage says that while counting carbohydrates is a priority, with diabetes meal planning, protein, fat and calories are important, too. "A diet that's healthy overall is the goal," she said.
Educators also discuss:
how to monitor glucose levels
how diabetes medications work
the benefits of regular physical activity
how stress affects blood sugar
Because managing diabetes requires lifestyle changes, the staff at Fort Sanders Diabetes Center focuses on making realistic recommendation. They don't push for perfection because people tend to think they've failed if they don't do everything they're told. Small changes over time are more important, and can lead to big results.
The Fort Sanders Diabetes Center is recognized by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for Quality Self-Management Education. Locations include:
Fort Sanders West
, Oak Ridge, Lenoir City, Sevierville and at the
Fort Sanders Perinatal Center
. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, provide coverage for diabetes education.
Physician referral is required, but the staff at the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center can assist in the referral process. For more information about the Fort Sanders Diabetes Center, call (865) 531-5580.

Essential Insights On The Medial Slide Calcaneal Osteotomy
- Volume 26 - Issue 5 - May 2013
- 12058 reads
- 0 comments
In addition, the medial slide calcaneal osteotomy utilizes the same incision as the osteotomy, decreasing the need to make a separate incision for screw fixation at the posterior heel. Although further prospective randomized clinical trials are needed, early weightbearing may be possible with the use of locking plate fixation for medial slide calcaneal osteotomies.
Dr. Cook is the Director of Podiatric Medical Education at University Hospital at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark, N.J. He is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.

The Office Spiritorium
Cleverly named, The Office Spiritorium, this establishment is designed for those who wish to relax after work yet still spend a little more time at, well, "The Office." With its lavish and comfortable décor, The Office Spiritorium can't really be called a bar, saloon, tavern, or lounge but a delightful office away from the office.
If you could find the word Spiritorium in the dictionary it would say, "an exceptionally beautiful and classy social establishment that features unique handcrafted drinks, an exceptional wine list, naughty Absinthe, cold local and not local beers on tap, and delicious appetizers with daily live music where you are surrounded by great friends."
We are proud of The Office Spiritorium which also happens to feature one of the best Happy Hours in the area from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. It's highly suggested that you come early, because seats go quickly, and people tend to lounge for hours. We look forward to seeing and serving you!

Is there really such a thing as a 'surprise' pregnancy?
If we ignore what our bodies are telling us, we'll be shocked by what they do, says Daisy Buchanan
At school, it was the stuff of nightmares. It never happened to anyone you knew directly – but someone always had a cousin whose friend met someone on holiday who had been fooling around with her boyfriend, hadn't had sex and magically got pregnant, and had no idea about it until they suddenly and dramatically gave birth to a baby on the toilet.
Looking back, it's easy to dismiss our childish Chinese whispers as the fantasy of a group of ludicrously paranoid teenage girls. At a strict, single sex school, we grew up fearing pregnancy and its life-altering consequences, and we were taught to constantly monitor our bodies. If your period was an hour late, you worried. Some of the more forward -thinking girls bought pregnancy tests in bulk and hid them in their lockers.
"You have a responsibility to know yourself and your body well enough to choose for a baby to be born"
We had been taught to take every care and precaution when we became sexually active, because we were all encouraged to do well in exams and go to university. A baby would change all that. Even though most of us graduated a long time ago, our teenage fear still lingers – not least because the effects of the recession are forcing most young women in their twenties and thirties to put off starting a family.
But then, on Tuesday in Camp Bastion, a gunner in the Royal Artillery realised our teenage nightmares. She complained of stomach pains before giving birth to a baby who was five weeks premature – and said that she had no idea she was pregnant. It's the first time a UK soldier has given birth whilst in Afghanistan.
"You need to be aware that it doesn't matter which contraceptives you're using, sex could result in pregnancy"
The arrival of a new baby should be a great source of joy and happiness, but if you're bringing a life into the world, surely you have a responsibility to know yourself and your body well enough to choose for it to be born, and to prepare for its arrival? At the moment, little is known about the months that led up to the birth, but it's hard to believe that the soldier didn't experience any changes or warning signals.
"We need to listen to our bodies and look after them"
Babies aren't brought by a stork. They're not a magical surprise that arrives at Christmas. Whether it's a change in your menstrual cycle, your breasts, your hormones or just your temperature, if you're sexually active and think there's a possibility of pregnancy, you need to find out what's going on. There's no such thing as safe sex – only safer sex. And that means that as well as being sensible about protecting yourself from STIs, you need to be aware that it doesn't matter which contraceptives you're using, sex could result in pregnancy.
The Camp Bastion story won't calm any teenage girl who is scared that she might suddenly become pregnant if she comes within a metre of any sperm. But it will reinforce the myth that women can't control their destiny or sexuality, and families are just something that happens, not something that you plan. We've got a responsibility to show young women that they can choose what to do with their bodies – and in order to do that, we need to listen to our bodies and look after them.

International Club
Welcome to the Union College International Club (UCIC), the most diverse club on the Union College campus! It doesn't matter if you're from the US, Peru, Brazil, China, Japan, Korea, American Samoa, Vietnam, Indonesia, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica—you get the point. This club is for everyone! Thanks to UCIC activities you'll be able to see the world without leaving Lincoln! During the year UCIC sponsors events such as "Taste of Union" (where you can sample food from around the world), and the Mr./Ms. World Pageant (where you'll get to see the talents and abilities of our international students firsthand).
UCIC members also enjoy other exciting activities such as the camp out and an International Banquet. But the focus in UCIC isn't the activities—it's on cultivating friendships. In UCIC you'll make friends on campus, from all over the world, and form friendships that will last a lifetime.
Our slogan is quite straightforward: "Got Culture?" You'll learn about other cultures, make friends from other cultures, and become a very "cultured" person. We want to learn about and cherish cultures in addition to our own. We want to cultivate an understanding and appreciation for other cultures.
The world we see is rich in diversity and value. We want to celebrate this diversity and share it with others to build understanding and appreciation. We want to encourage Union students to broaden their horizons and see the world we see. We see a whole world of people to love, to serve, to befriend, to teach. We see a world that needs us; we see a world that needs Jesus. The Union College International Club exists to nurture friendships built on shared experiences, values, and dreams, which will stay with us after we leave Union, and which we can share with others to make our world a better place, and to introduce people to Jesus.

Former Miami Dolphins quarterback and current CBS NFL analyst Dan Marino fathered a child with a CBS Sports employee and paid her millions to keep it secret, according to the New York Post. Marino has served as a pregame analyst for CBS since 2003 and reportedly admitted to having an affair with Donna Savattere, a production assistant at the time. Savattere, who was 35 at the time, gave birth to daughter, Chloe, in June 2005, according to The Post. "This is a personal and private matter. I take full responsibility both personally and financially for my actions now as I did then," Marino told The Post in a statement. We mutually agreed to keep our arrangement private to protect all parties involved." While the exact amount is unclear, sources told The Post that Marino paid Savattere millions to care for Chloe. Marino also gave a statement on his marriage to The Post. "My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years and have six children together," he wrot...

This article emphasizes guide dogs in cities, do blind people in suburbs not walk as much? How get around, then, if they can't drive? Do they use guide dogs
Submitted by Beth Finke | August 18 2012 | Permalink
Oh, yes, Jacques, plenty of people with visual impairments live in suburbs, and many of them use guide dogs. My husband got a job transfer once that required us to move to the Chicago suburbs, we did our best to find a place close enough to the train so I could use that to get around. Suburbs usually have nice sidewalks but so often the shopping centers are hard to get to, surrounded by parking lots and such. I prefer living in a college town (accommodates a lot of people on foot) or a city.

Influenza Cases on the Rise at Children's Medical Center
December 12, 2012
The number of influenza cases seen at Children's Medical Center (www.childrens.com) has been steadily rising the past few weeks, a trend that likely will continue, and doctors are recommending that parents get vaccinations for themselves and their children to ward off the illness.
This year's season started earlier than normal, experts said. Children's has already seen at least 150 patients who tested positive for the flu since Nov. 10, compared to just one case recorded as of this time last year.
"I am pretty confident that we're going to see an uptick in the number of flu cases over the next several weeks," said Dr. Jeffrey Kahn, division director of Children's Medical Center's Infectious Disease Program. "How robust the season is going to be, we still don't know yet. But I would say over the next four to six weeks, or eight weeks, we're going to see a lot of flu activity."
Families can best protect themselves and their children by getting flu vaccines, Kahn said. Children 6 months of age and older are eligible for the vaccination. It's not too late to get immunized, he said.
"It usually takes one to two weeks for a flu vaccine to elicit protective immunity, so even if you get immunized today, you're going to protect yourself for a majority of the flu season," Kahn said.
The number of patients testing positive for the flu at Children's shows an obvious upward trend:
Nov. 10-16: Seven positive tests
Nov. 17-23: 23 positive tests
Nov. 24-30: 32 positive tests
Dec. 1-6: 96 positive tests
Kahn, also a professor of pediatrics and microbiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center, said this is the earliest start of the flu season in about 10 years. The reasons for that are unknown, he said.
So far, doctors at Children's are seeing a mix of both Type A and Type B flu cases.
"One thing we know about influenza is that it's unpredictable," said Dr. Christopher Doern, Children's medical director of microbiology and an assistant professor of pathology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. "The one thing that has been consistent is once it starts going up, that trend continues for the course of the respiratory virus season. That's likely to continue throughout the duration of the winter."
The flu spreads very rapidly in close quarters and in homes, Kahn said. Symptoms include high fever that shows up very rapidly, body aches, cough, congestion, difficulty breathing and other respiratory symptoms.
"By getting a flu vaccine, you're not only protecting yourself, but the people you live with," particularly vulnerable people such as infants, the elderly and children with asthma, Kahn said.
About Children's Medical Center
The private, not-for-profit Children's Medical Center is the fifth-largest pediatric healthcare provider in the country, with 559 licensed beds, two full-service campuses and 10 outpatient sites. Children's was the state's first pediatric hospital to achieve Level 1 Trauma status and is the only pediatric teaching facility in North Texas, affiliated with UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
