Introductions Include a Fluoroscopy Ultrasound All-In-One Unit and New Brivo C-arm for the US
CHICAGO — November 25, 2012 — For more than three decades, GE Healthcare has been committed to delivering high-quality, innovative advances in the mobile surgical C-arm field – supporting successful surgeries throughout the world with easy-to-use technology. Today at RSNA 2012, GE Healthcare (NYSE: GE) will showcase a number of new advanced imaging solutions for the surgical space, helping clinicians see more in the OR. These new innovations from OEC take surgical imaging to the next level, with offerings including a fluoroscopy ultrasound All-In-One Unit, and OEC's new, affordable Brivo 865 Advance C-arm.
OEC Elite + Venue 40
Medical professionals worldwide have long recognized fluoroscopy and ultrasound as valuable modalities in the OR, and yet each imaging system is still considered and bought separately. Today, GE Healthcare shares its latest addition to its family of Hybrid Operating Solutions, the OEC Elite + Venue 40*, an integrated fluoroscopy and ultrasound all-in-one unit.
For the first time, surgeons and physicians can access fluoroscopy and ultrasound in a single workstation, to help maximize efficiencies in OR workflow, floor space, and costs. This new system combines the power, precision and performance of the OEC 9900 Elite C-arm with the simple-to-use GE Venue 40 tablet ultrasound to help see more during surgical procedures.
"We're excited to bring together these two technologies, giving our customers the confidence they need to perform more complex procedures," said Joe Shrawder, President and CEO, GE Healthcare Surgery. "We take pride in the advanced imaging capabilities of all of our systems across the GE portfolio. Combining two of our leading systems for the surgical suite is a solution our customers will appreciate."
With this new system, the GE Venue 40 tablet is mounted within the OEC 9900 Elite C-arm's workstation, allowing surgeons to easily access the ultrasound tablet when needed. Guiding the insertion and placement of needles, guidewires and catheters, surgeons can see more on the screens within comfortable view by leveraging these two modalities.
Instead of moving patients or imaging equipment in and out of the OR during procedures, surgical staff can view collocated displays for fluoroscopy and ultrasound without leaving the OR. The OEC Elite + Venue 40 brings both modalities together, allowing medical professionals to efficiently manage complex treatments while helping to preserve sterile environments.
"With its compact size and combined functions, this new system gives the surgical team more room to maneuver quickly around the OR, especially when responding to sudden changes in a patient's condition during a procedure," Shrawder said. "And when patient care requires ultrasound alone, the Venue 40 unit easily detaches from the C-arm to go to the clinical environment where the patient needs care."
*The OEC Elite + Venue 40 is not available for sale in all areas globally.
OEC Brivo 865 Advance
GE's leadership in innovation continues with the OEC Brivo 865 Advance**, the company's latest addition to its portfolio of surgical C-arms. With legacy OEC image quality and ease-of-use the affordability and reliability of this new Brivo C-arm will offer a high quality, affordable option for basic surgical imaging.
The first C-arm from OEC's Brivo line designed for the needs of US customers, the Brivo Advance utilizes enhancements and extras—such as Advanced Clear Intelligence imaging, an intuitive user interface, and wireless connectivity—to give surgical teams the image quality and easy-to-use technology they've come to expect from OEC, with the affordability of the Brivo product line.
"We're thrilled to bring our line of Brivo C-arms to the US with the new OEC Brivo 865 Advance," said Shrawder. "The C-arm offers an affordable solution without sacrificing the technology and innovation OEC is known for. It provides easy positioning and maneuverability enabling optimal image acquisition with fewer re-takes, and new advancements in steering and lightweight construction make the system highly portable."

Radiographers serve a vitally important role as highly-skilled technical assistants to radiologists. Also known as x-ray technologists, radiographers work with patients and x-ray equipment to produce medical images of the body, as prescribed by physicians, to assist in the diagnosis of disease or injury. In a field that requires independent judgment and excellent problem-solving skills, radiographers must also adapt their medical imaging procedures to the needs of each individual patient.
NCC's radiography curriculum combines science, general education, and professional courses conducted on the College's main campus with extensive clinical education performed at area hospitals. Students learn with state-of the-art imaging technology in the two radiographic rooms in the Wogenrich Lab, allowing them to practice their skills in structured and competency-based education.
The courses in the curriculum are also designed to build sequentially upon the knowledge learned in previous courses. Therefore, all required courses must be taken in sequence, and all prerequisites must be met prior to registration. Minimum admission requirements include high school biology and specified math courses with an overall GPA of 2.5 or better. There is a February 1st application deadline. Applicants should meet with an academic advisor to discuss these and other eligibility requirements.
Clinical education at affiliated hospitals is scheduled during the break between the fall and spring semesters and during both summer sessions at the end of the first year, for 40 hours per week.
Graduates of the program will be able to use knowledge of anatomy, positioning, and radiographic techniques to accurately show anatomical structures on a radiograph. They also learn to anticipate patient needs and provide appropriate patient education while exercising good judgment in all aspects of their work. The Radiography program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT).

Today is a day when the nation remembers the lost crew members of the space shuttle Columbia in a somber way -- but Michael Anderson School here in Avondale finds a way to celebrate the life of their namesake every day.
It helps that his sister is a teacher here to keep his memory alive.
Brenda Anderson Daniely is a special education teacher at the same school that bears her brother's name.
It's impossible for her to forget her brother, astronaut Michael Anderson, and the tragedy that took his life. On every wall there are reminders and examples of his passion for space flight.
Brenda remembers when the two walked these halls when they were children in the late 1960s.
"We shared a bedroom together and he was on the top bunk and every Saturday morning he would say, let's go to the moon, you know c'mon Brenda lets go to the moon," recalls Brenda.
The day that shocked the nation rocked her family to the core.
"They said 'we've lost Columbia.' Then the news reports flashed in, you know, and it was like that's actually how we found out."
10 years later, it's the children who attend Michael Anderson School who must learn all about who Michael was -- to attempt to reach those same heights.
Most schools have a slogan, a mascot or some even have a namesake. But it's so much more than that at Michael Anderson School where his legacy still literally leads these kids today.
Michael's last words to his sister in an email from space are now immortalized.
"Remind them to dream big, work hard."
"Dream big and to work hard and to work hard every day," says Karen Morales, a second grade teacher, backed up by her class.
Dream big and work hard is the banner Brenda carries to keep Michael's memory alive. His death was a tragedy -- he died too soon -- but Brenda told me he wouldn't have wanted to go any other way.
"He wouldn't have wanted all the hoopla you know, but at the same time he would be very very proud that it's children."
It was back in August of 2003 that Avondale School became Michael Anderson School, and in six months, they're going to have a celebration of the school's renaming.

Adrian Peterson Game Day Big Head: Now you can get your head in the game with your very own cut out of Adrian Peterson's face in his Vikings helmet on game day. Unlike giant head posters or other player head photos, NFL Big Heads are sturdy and big enough to stand out in any crowd. There's no better way to prove you're a fan than with an officially licensed NFL Fathead Big Head.
Team: Minnesota Vikings
Position: Running Back
Born: March 21, 1985 in Palestine, Texas
College: Oklahoma
Turned Pro: 2007- 2008
Awards / Notes: Adrian Peterson was voted AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, PFWA Offensive Rookie of the Year and Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year in 2007. He was four time All-Pro selection and four time Pro Bowl selection. Peterson was the NFC rushing leader in 2007, the Pro Bowl MVP in 2008 and the FedEx Ground Player of the Year in 2008. He also won the Bert Bell Award and the NFL Rushing Title in 2008.
What Are Fathead Big Heads?: Fathead Big Heads are portable cutouts of players' heads or your own head (we make Custom Big Heads too). That's right, the head and nothing but the head (well the face actually). Fathead Big Heads are printed on high density foam core and die cut around the face. They are meant to be held up and displayed with the kind of passion that would lead you to buy someone's head at ten times normal size. Which is not normal, but is very Fathead. Fathead Big Heads fully embrace the saying, "Get Your Head in the Game!"
What It's Made Of: A Fathead Big Head is printed on high density 3/16 inch foam core and die cut around the player's face. They are not wall graphics or self-adhesive.
Suggested Uses: Fathead Big Heads are designed so you can take them with you. Hold up a Fathead Big Head at the big game to psych out the opposing team! Make a Custom Big Head of your child and show your support at their sporting event! Fathead Big Heads are also perfect for birthday and office parties. However you choose to use them, they are meant to stand out in a crowd.
Removable Transfer Decals are not like any other product we sell. Putting one up on your wall requires patience and a strict observance of the installation steps. Unlike our standard peel and stick wall decals, transfer decals are not movable or resuasble so it's very important to follow the instructions and do it right the first time. Instructions are included with the product, but if you'd like a preview of how to install one, or if you need to print a copy, please click on one of the buttons below:

I'm really loving the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems? A number of my blog audience have complained about my site not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?
First of all I would like to say wonderful blog!
I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your
thoughts prior to writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting
my thoughts out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10
to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any recommendations or hints? Cheers!
What's Taking place i'm new to this, I stumbled upon this I have discovered It positively helpful and it has helped me out loads.
I am hoping to contribute & assist other users like its aided me.
Good job.
Undeniably believe that that you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the easiest factor to keep in mind of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed at the same time as people consider concerns that they just do not recognize about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as outlined
out the whole thing without having side-effects , other people
can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
Thank you

Which TED talk would you choose to show social work students to inspire them in their final class of the semester
I am teaching a first year course in clinical social work. I am looking for a TED talk to show my students on the last day of class that will inspire them, engage them, and get them to think outside the box. I hope to find some way of building in a conversation about endings.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Topics: effective teaching social work
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 25 2011: It's not a talk at TED per se, but I think Viktor Frankl's speech on why to believe in people would be perfect. It also happens to be one of my favorites. You should remind them that in their line of work they may see some nasty things but that, aside from helping individuals deal with issues, they can help open up opportunities for them by believing in their potential.

Hong Kong 2012
So, I'm back in Hong Kong…after 17 days or so….abroad in: Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam <3 Amazing amazing AHHHHMAZING places <3.
How do I feel now? I feel like I just came back from a three-day weekend abroad that happened quite frequently last semester. I feel like nothing's changed—my friends haven't left me—my courses are still hard as hell—I still don't feel like studying—there's "nothing to do." But, all that's different. My two bffs that I've made here left me. I have to make new friends. My roomie is leaving me… [I still don't know why, honestly lol. I don't think I was a bad roommate -___- maybe it was my other roommate…hmmmm]
I'm nervous, again. This time, it's a lot worse than last semester. I was WILLING to meet new people—new semester, new beginning, more enthusiasm, more courage, more bravery. 2nd semester: lazy, tired, boring, getting old, already have some friends…It takes so much energy to make new friends, I just want to stick to the ones I have—but at that kind of rate, I'll be really lonely this next semester and I don't want that :(
So, I have a huge bucketlist to do after I settle down my vacation-oriented brain.
1. Pick up my HSBC card
2. Fill out FAFSA
3. Get an HKID replacement card
4. Get another fucking octopus card
5. Get a Patrick Manson key so I stop getting locked out
6. Get another new student HKU ID
Wow, fuck my life -__________- and no bffs to help me out.
What should I eat tomorrow for breakfast, lunch, dinner? That question was always easily answered when I could call up anyone to eat with. Now that phone list has been cut in half, and I might eat alone for the next 123902802 days until the semester is over. WOO-HOO, go me. -____-
Oh my god, I realized—I'm finally negative about life in a long time. Shit, hope nothing goes TOO downhill from here…

Councilman blasts demotion of 14 firefighters as 'retaliation'
Councilman Jim Kenney on Thursday introduced legislation calling for a City Council hearing investigating the proposed demotion of 14 Philadelphia firefighters, a battle that is currently playing out in court.
The firefighters were promoted – five of them to the rank of captain and nine to the rank of lieutenant – after Court of Common Pleas Judge Leon Tucker on May 14 ruled the city must fill firefighters vacancies with those who passed the promotion exam and whose names were included on a list.
But Commonwealth Court Judge Dan Pellegrini on Sept. 18 reversed the ruling, siding with members of Mayor Michael Nutter's administration, who claim Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers is not required to fill firefighter vacancies with those who pass the exam, but that he can pick and choose who to promote.
The legal battle continued after Judge Ellen Ceisler on Tuesday put a temporary stop to the demotions as Tucker reviews the case.
"Yesterday, Commissioner Lloyd Ayers attended a hearing dealing with challenges to the Commonwealth Court's ruling that [the firefighters] could be demoted and he said in court he was 'forced' to promote these people based on a court order," Kenney said during Thursday's City Council hearing.
Holding up photographs of the promotion ceremony for the firefighters whose titles are now in question, Kenney said, "Commissioner Ayers is smiling in every one of these pictures. It doesn't seem to me he was forced to do these promotions."
"The reason why it resonates with me is in 1967 and again in 1975, my father was promoted to captain and battalion chief," Kenney continued.
"I attended those ceremonies with my brothers and mother. Those are some of the most important memories I have growing up. We were very proud of what my dad did for a living because he put on a uniform every day and saved lives.
"Every single family member in any of these pictures went through the same feelings and are all now going through the feelings of, 'Why is my brave dad who became a captain or lieutenant being demoted by the city they serve and the fire department they serve?'"
Kenney reiterated he doesn't believe it was Ayers choice or desire to demote the firefighters.
"The day before yesterday, Everett Gillison said that, along with the city solicitor and Deputy Mayor [Mike] Resnick, that they were exercising a 'management prerogative,'" he said.
"So now, on the one hand, Fire Commissioner Ayers said he was forced to do something. On the other hand, Gillison and others are saying they were exercising a 'management prerogative.'"
He called on the fire department and city to instead foster a productive dialogue with firefighters, noting there are still 39 fire department openings for captains and lieutenants.
After the Council session, Kenney blasted the decision to demote the 14 firefighters as "retaliation" by Mayor Nutter, Chief of Staff Everett Gillison, Deputy Mayor Resnick and City Solicitor Shelley Smith.
"Instead of getting an order that's favorable to them and saying, 'Well, maybe it's now time to change the climate. We have a whole bunch of other openings that we can promote people for. We keep these 14 people on the job and we can go forward with a better and brighter and more positive attitude.' But no, they can't do that," Kenney said, saying the officials instead put on a "tough guy act."
"It's all retaliation," Kenney said.
"Everything that they have made this commissioner do and that he's done relative to discipline, forced transfers, arbitration disputes, and now this promotional stuff, is all done out of antagonism – period. And I don't care what they say about 'management prerogative' or anything else, it's all about sticking it to them, and that's a shame. The public safety people in this city who would willingly give their life for you, they're the ones you want to pick on. It's pretty senseless."
A ruling regarding the 14 firefighters' demotions is expected Thursday.

About 32 members of the Army National Guard based in Danbury shipped out to Fort Dix Monday, Dec. 3, in preparation for deployment to the Horn of Africa. The soldiers don't know exactly where or when they are going, but their first stop is 30 days of training in New Jersey.
"They don't tell us exactly how long," said Paul Holko, 29, of Danbury, a 2001 Brookfield High School graduate. Holko married two months ago, and is without children. "We're hoping to deploy for less than a year."
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, who attended the departure from Danbury Monday, told the soldiers that the Horn of Africa is a vital national security issue for the United States today.
The 411th works as liaison between various branches of the military, and it works on helping the military decide what service projects and construction projects it should undertake overseas. It works to help choose those projects, such as which school or which road to build.
Holko owns a home remodeling business, Holko Renovations, so he's a bit worried about things he's leaving behind, like quarterly tax payments and jobs that are now on hold for a year. "I have jobs lined up for when I come back."
Holko and other soldiers deploying Monday said one hard part is leaving behind loved ones with so much uncertainty.
Frank Nordby and his wife had a baby three weeks ago, Riley, who is certainly larger than Norby's hand, but not by much. Nordby is hoping to keep in touch via Skype and he's hoping the big events in Riley's life will be captured on videotape. "I'm not going to be there for her first year of life. That's a sacrifice."
"If we know our families are taken care of, we can do our jobs," said Samuel Ferrrucci, of Waterbury, who works as a shift supervisor with the West Hartford Police Department. "It's really difficult on our families."
"No matter how much you prepare, surprises happen," said Holko, and he mentioned that while Nordby was training to deploy to Africa, the heater in his house broke. That isn't anything someone can plan for in advance.
Robert Roig, first sergeant, said, "Who is going to look after them when they're deployed?" Roig's child was five days old when he first deployed to the Middle East four years ago. He will be deployed again with the 411th in Africa.
Editor's Note: This article was first published on Danbury Patch.

Gone Today, Hair Tomorrow- For centuries hair has been used as a symbol of remembrance; from a simple lock kept to the more intricate practice of weaving hair into bracelets or its use in art and jewellery. In this programme the historian and biographer Juliette Barker traces these practices through history and talks to some modern collectors. Now that it has become apparent that hair offers us the chance to retrieve good quality DNA could it be about to enjoy a renaissance as favoured medium once more by which we remember our loved ones and ancestors?

Derby Days Are Here Again
After basketball season, Derby Week is the most sacred holiday in all of Kentucky. This Saturday, the world will watch the "most exciting two minutes in sports"- no, not Rick Pitino after hours at Porcini's. Throughout this week on KSR College, I'll prep you with the essential information to the Kentucky Derby- from traditions, to wagering, to throwing a Derby party, to actually going to the event and surviving. Let's start with a little Derby history.
The first Kentucky Derby was held on May 17, 1895, with a field of 15 three-year-old horses. It was won by Aristides and jockey Oliver Lewis, and was one and a half miles at the time (it changed to one and a fourth in 1896). The event has always been held at Churchill Downs, although the track wasn't officially called that until 1937.
After the Kentucky Derby each year, it soon became common practice for thoroughbred owners to send their horses and jockeys to the Preakness Stakes (at Pimlico Race Track in Baltimore) and the Belmont Stakes (in Elmont, NY). Collectively, these events officially became known as the Triple Crown in 1930 when Gallant Fox won the trio- althoughthe horse Sir Barton had won all three in 1911. These races had the biggest purse of all horse races, and since then winning the Triple Crown has become the main storyline of all Kentucky Derbys. Different countries have their own version of the horse racing triple crown, and only eleven horses have ever won the United States version.
The fastest time ever recorded at the Kentucky Derby was one minute, 59.4 seconds, by Secretariat in 1973. While it's amazing that his record has lasted this long- 38 years, to be exact- it's also notable that Secretariat picked up the pace continuously throughout the race. Secretariat completed the elusive Triple Crown trifecta, and his inspirational story was the subject of a movie last year, which I never saw but my best friend Layson and her horse-crazy family loved it with a passion. So there's that.
While it's easy to get caught up in the glamour of the horses- after all, who didn't want a pony for Christmas one year?- the jockeys are obviously instrumental to a Derby win as well. In the past few years, the safest bet at the Kentucky Derby has been to choose whoever Calvin Borel is riding- he's won three of the past five years, and will suit up for Take Charge Indy this Saturday. Borel knows how to win a Derby regardless of what horse he's riding, and you can bet I'm including him in my Trifecta.
That's it for today. Come back tomorrow for a look at Derby traditions- the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Saint Basil's Cathedral, Moscow. Swiss photographer Corinne Vionnet's artworks are made by combining hundreds of tourist photos into one. After searching and sifting through photo sharing sites, Corinne carefully layers 200 to 300 photos on top of one another until she gets her desired result. Found on bumbumbum
Formed absence of light, Sonja Vordermaier. More photos of this stunning installation can be found at bumbumbum.
Its amazing to see how design changes over the years. The above is one of a collection of images from an IBM presentation from 1975. Further images can be found on Square America. Thanks to bumbumbum for the heads up.
'Cowboys and Girlfriends' (1992) is an outstanding photo series by American painter and photographer Richard Prince.
In this series Prince has combined two larger series of photographs he made in the 80s. The archetypal cowboy images, though cropped, are reproduced facsimiles of originals from the Marlboro advertisements. The artist began rephotographing them after the company became the target of an antismoking campaign and was forced to stop using its famous model, the Marlboro Man. In Prince's rendition, this "true American" is ironically turned from a hero into a survivor.
Thanks to bumbumbum for the photo and text. More images can be found here.
One of a series of photos of Berlin by Matthias Heiderich, this one showing the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. More can be found here.

Documents To Go 11 on the TH55
Yesterday I downloaded DTG 11 and installed it on my beloved TH55.
DTG 11 works as fine as DTG 10 or DTG 9 did on the TH55, same issues with prior versions of Word To Go (10 and 9 versions) where you cannot hide the virtual graffity are in order to benefit from full screen reading or writing, if you own a portable keyboard.
Spreadsheet To Go works fine, no issues hidding the VG area but I got some resets while exiting this app.
I had no time for testing the rest of apps, may be this weekend I give it a try.
Please share your experience with DTG 11 and your TH55.

Hold up. Is it illegal for me to call a 16 year old kid sexy? It's fine. Shhh.. Bieber is making the rounds on Late Night, and last night he joined George Lopez, where he proved adding a little bit of mood music can turn anything into a hot and steamy…. session.

Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Recognizes Local Volunteers
Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council (GSSJC) recently honored Girl Scout volunteers for their many years of service to the organization. They received their awards during the annual spring GSSJC recognition event.
Marlene Edwards was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award. The Council Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes adult members who have received the Thanks Badge II and continue to contribute to the Council or the Girl Scout Movement in extraordinary ways.
Edwards received her 10-year pin in 1975 and her service unit presented her with the Appreciation Pin in 1978. She received the Thanks Badge in 1983, and her Continuing Service Award in 1991. In 1997 she was also honored with the Thanks Badge II.
A founding member of The Emerald Circle, Marlene continues to serve as a member of their executive committee, helping to recruit adults who will fund scholarships and programs for girls. She is also one of the mainstays of GSSJC's history committee. Her primary responsibility is to create exhibits of Girl Scout history in the library and memorabilia room. She spends untold hours researching topics and collecting the needed items. On occasion she's been known to dress up as Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low for Council events.
Judy Kunkel was honored with the Thanks Badge. The Thanks Badge is a national award presented to registered adults for extraordinary service benefiting the Council or Girl Scout Movement. A miniature trefoil pin is awarded to the spouse of the Thanks Badge recipient. For several years Judy has been an adult advisor to the Senior Senate, a leadership group for Senior Girl Scouts. This year she helped host the Senior Senate's Teen Weekend and even made personalized thank you gifts for the cooks. She works with Wider Ops, now STUDIO 2B destinations, a Girl Scout program that offers a special opportunity for girls to travel both nationally and internationally.
Linda Loop was honored with the Continuing Service Award. The San Jacinto Council Continuing Service Award is presented to registered adults who have received the Thanks Badge and continue to give exceptional service. A "Thank You" grove of trees is maintained at Camp Agnes Arnold's Training Complex as a visible reminder of their generous contributions. As an assistant program coordinator, Loop's contributions have been focused on providing the more than 63,000 girls of San Jacinto Council the tools they need to grow in their leadership abilities and to earn the Bronze, Silver or Gold Award.
Virginia Reed was honored with the 45-Years of Service Pin. The Years of Service Pin acknowledges active adult volunteer years of service. Reed has contributed to the success of the religious recognitions programs offered in the Council. Her level of commitment has helped to inspire hundreds of girls to earn religious awards from the faith of their choice. Reed also delivers meaningful invocations at Council meetings.
Jerry King was honored with the 40-year Numeral. Membership Numerals are presented for total years of registered membership including both girl and adult years combined. She has been a troop leader for Juniors, Cadettes and Senior Girl Scouts in the Rainbow's End Service Unit. She also served as neighborhood vice chairman. King volunteers on the History Committee and serves as a docent for the troops touring the Girl Scout Center.
Sara Walker was honored with the 35-year Numeral. She has mentored many apprentice trainers during her years spent as a Council trainer. Sara devotes many hours to working on the History Committee, researching Thanks Badge recipients and acting as docent on numerous troop tours of the Girl Scout Center. She is also a Thanks Badge II recipient herself.
Barbara Bozeman was honored with the Appreciation Pin. The Appreciation Pin is a national recognition awarded to registered adults who have given outstanding service above the requirements of the positions they have held. They must have served at least one geographic service unit or program delivery audience. From rallies to cookie sales to a position as service unit manager, Bozeman maintains a positive attitude that influences those around her.
Leanne Scott was honored with the Appreciation Pin. As a member of her service unit's steering committee, Scott has helped mentor leaders with her calm manner, and used the knowledge of her native state of Hawaii in the coordination of a hugely successful 'Camp Waikiki' service unit weekend for more than 500 girls and adults.
Deborah Beatty was honored with the Appreciation Pin. She serves as registrar for Creekwood Service Unit and is dedicated to helping place girls in troops. She also organizes rallies in addition to leading two troops and serving as their Cookie manager.
Marsha Langlois was also honored with the Appreciation Pin. Langlois is a troop leader for the second time who always has great ideas and encourages Girl Scouts to earn awards, especially the Religious Recognitions. She also shares her knowledge of this program several times a year at service unit meetings.
Sally Clark was honored with the Key Award. The Key Award is a new award which recognizes a registered Girl Scout adult who has given outstanding and devoted service to girls and/or adults in any given area during one membership year. Clark has chaired the Urban Campout committee for the past two years and through mutual respect she succeeded in bringing together a diverse group of volunteers to form one cohesive unit. Under her leadership, Urban Campout, the annual gala for GSSJC's community outreach programs, raised more than $300,000 this year.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Today, as when founded in 1912, GSUSA helps cultivate values, social conscience, and self-esteem in young girls, while also teaching them critical life skills that will enable them to succeed as adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving over 63,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 25 southeast Texas counties. For more information call 1-800-392-4340 or visit www.gssjc.org.
GSSJC Pluralism Statement
Embracing and promoting pluralism is an integral part of every activity and plan of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, not disconnected or separate projects. Only individuals willing to accept and be educated about the basic tenet that Girl Scouting is for all girls may serve in volunteer leadership or staff positions.

I got this set on a lightning deal. I am a bit surprised at how much I actually like it. The chain is by no means heavy duty, but will work just fine as long as it isn't tugged on by a certain four year old I have…I have gotten much more expensive necklaces from jewelry stores that were close in strength. The earrings are nice sized and quite sparkly…definately would recommend this set for the low price. These are not real diamonds, and the set won't become part of an inheritance, but these are fun and sparkly peices and I like sterling silver being plated with platinum.
Found this on one of the lightning deals. It broke on first use. Even for the amount paid, it should have lasted for longer than one use.
I bought this set for the earrings, because its hard to find decent cubic zirconia stud earrings, in my opinion. These earrings sparkle alot!
The necklace will be a stocking stuffer gift for my teen daughter, and I'm sure she'll wear it happily. It's not the greatest quality chain, so time will tell how long the necklace will last. I don't expect it to be too long. But again, I bought this set for the earrings and it's a fine purchase for what I paid as a gold box deal.

Bienvenue! My name is Jamie and I like golf. I grew up playing tennis in eastern Massachusetts, but fell in love with the game after watching Se Ri Pak defeat Jenny Chausiriporn at the 1998 U.S. Womens Open. I studied Hospitality & Tourism Management (with a focus on Event, Tourism, and Convention Management) at the Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts Amherst. Tennis is my first love, but golf is a very close second. I believe style should equal substance, and the latter is nothing without the former.
"you can't make harmony, when everyone is singing the same note."
Some argued that having the player revolt/ousting of Carolyn Bivens occur during one of the LPGA's major championship was a bad thing, in my eyes it always seemed like the right time to have controversy. Have it during your tour's biggest events, so, even if they are tuning it because of the Commissioner drama, they will be able to witness your tour's best and brightest playing in one of their biggest events of the year.
This is why making an announcement tomorrow, on the eve of the Hana Bank * Kolon Championship 2009 seems a bit silly indeed. The event is in Korea, ie the tour's elite are all in Korea (including current acting commissioner Marty Evans), and it's not going to be televised in the United States. For a tour that's screaming and needing more attention in it's home country, making the announcement now, rather then during the LPGA Tour Championship a televised home event, is baffling.
It's not as if Michael Whan will be beginning his tenure right away anyway. Marty Evans will be holding down the fort for the remainder of the season with Mr. Whan taking the lead beginning in January.
The LPGA jumped the gun on this one, timing could've given the LPGA Tour Championship some pretty big buzz.

Audi Q5 Review
The 2014 Audi Q5 ranks 2 out of 12 Luxury Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Audi Q5, as well as reliability and safety data.
The 2014 Audi Q5 is ranked:
- #2 in Luxury Compact SUVs
- #4 in Luxury SUVs with 2 Rows
- #4 in Luxury Crossover SUVs
With agile handling, a refined base engine and a premium interior, test drivers think the 2014 Audi Q5 is one of the best luxury compact SUVs you can buy. For having the best combination of factors that appeal to families, we named the Q5 our 2014 Best Luxury Compact SUV for Families.
The Audi Q5 is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that most reviewers agree provides plenty of power. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard, and reviewers say it shifts quickly and smoothly. A supercharged V6 is optional, and automotive critics think that it provides strong acceleration. A TDI model is new for 2014, and features a turbodiesel V6 engine that reviewers say is powerful and refined. The 2014 Q5 gets an EPA-estimated 20/28 mpg city/highway, which is good for a luxury compact SUV, while the Q5 TDI gets 24/31 mpg city/highway. Most test drivers say the 2014 Q5 is fun to drive, with agile handling, accurate steering and a smooth, comfortable ride. The Audi Q5 has standard all-wheel drive and reviewers say it gives the SUV excellent traction.
Automotive writers agree that the Q5 has an attractive interior that features first-rate materials and outstanding construction. They think the front seats are comfortable and roomy and feature excellent outward visibility. Reviewers say the rear seats are spacious, and they like that they can recline and slide forward and backward. The 2014 Q5 also has a large cargo area for the class, and more standard features than some luxury compact SUVs. Some automotive journalists say the standard MMI infotainment system, which controls climate and audio settings, could be more user-friendly. The 2014 Audi Q5 comes standard with leather upholstery, tri-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth phone connectivity, iPod integration, a 10-speaker stereo and Audi's MMI infotainment system. Options include adaptive cruise control, a rearview camera, parking sensors, a blind spot monitoring system, a panoramic moonroof and an upgraded MMI system with navigation.
- "With its exciting performance, high fuel economy and welcoming cabin, the 2014 Audi Q5 is a star among compact luxury crossover SUVs." -- Edmunds
- "If you're looking for a 5-passenger luxury SUV that wears many hats, the 2014 Audi Q5's combination of power, performance, luxury and ability will likely strike a positive note." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "Combine all of that with Audi's famed all-wheel-drive quattro system and you have a front-runner for the top luxury compact utility vehicle, dated styling or not-as long as you're willing to pay the $9200 and $2100 premium, respectively, compared with the 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter gasoline engines." -- Popular Mechanics (TDI)
- "The facelifted Q5 is entering one of the most hotly contested segments of the market. However, it has a lot going for it, including build quality, which continues to outshine the SUV competition on a number of fronts." -- AutoWeek (2013)
Other SUVs to Consider
Reviewers say the BMW X3 has a powerful base engine and good fuel economy. They also write that the X3 offers good passenger space in the front and rear seats and a spacious cargo area for the class.
The Acura RDX has a lower starting price than the Q5, but it comes standard with features the Q5 doesn't, including a rearview camera, push-button start and heated front seats. Critics say the RDX has a powerful standard V6 engine and a spacious, comfortable interior.
Details: 2014 Audi Q5
The 2014 Audi Q5 seats five and has standard all-wheel drive. The 2014 Q5 is available in a number of trims, ranging from the base Q5 2.0T Premium with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission, to the top-of-the-line SQ5 Prestige with a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine and eight-speed automatic. The Audi Q5 Hybrid is also available. The Audi Q5 receives powertrain and interior feature updates for 2014, but hasn't been fully redesigned since its debut in the 2009 model year. As a result, this overview uses applicable research and reviews from the 2009 through 2014 model years.

|Kiersten Miller '12 reunites with her great aunt Silvia Acosta.
In a tiny apartment at the intersection of 12th and 21st Streets in Havana, Cuba, Kiersten Miller '12 flips through a stack of faded and frayed photographs while her great aunt Silvia chatters on in Spanish. It's lucky she has brought her friend Alia El-Assar '12, a fluent Spanish speaker, on this unscheduled side trip, otherwise Miller would barely understand a word from the Cuban relative she is meeting for the first time.
This is an unexpected experience that Miller hadn't anticipated when she registered for this spring's (Re)Discover Cuba field study. The granddaughter of a Cuban-born woman who moved to the U.S. in the 1950s, the marine biologist major wasn't told a lot about her heritage growing up, only that she had a great aunt and a second cousin who still lived in Havana, and that perhaps she could seek them out during her trip.
One afternoon near the end of the trip, Miller and El-Assar set out to begin the search. "My father had given us directions to her apartment, but once we got to the intersection, we didn't know which building was Silvia's, so we started asking around. We saw an older woman leaning out of the window on the second floor and we asked her "Do you know a Silvia Acosta?" and she replied, "Yes! That's me!"
The woman invited them inside and the walk down memory lane began. "She had pictures of my sister and I when we were little, of my mom and dad at their wedding, some pictures of my cousins, and some of people whom I've never met," Miller recalled. "It was a really amazing experience, because I had never really felt tied to Cuba up until this point in time. I knew vaguely that I was part Cuban, but my family didn't really talk about it. I always felt very separated from my Cuban roots. I definitely feel much more connected with my family after visiting Silvia and seeing the city where my grandmother grew up."
While Miller's story is exceptional, the experience inspires the hope that as diplomatic tensions and travel restrictions ease between Cuba and the United States, perhaps a new era of friendship is dawning for the two countries. For Visiting Instructor of Economics Robert Reinauer, the time seemed ripe for Rollins to rediscover the controversial island.
"The regulations changed in January of 2011, which allowed us to apply under a general license as registered students participating in a for-credit excursion," said Reinauer, who co-lead the trip with Assistant Professor of Modern Languages Patricia Tomé. "Cuba is one of the most vibrant, culturally rich yet undiscovered countries and a fertile ground for studying things like economics, politics, and the arts. My aim is always to give students the opportunity to go somewhere really different and intriguing. A new Cuba is unfolding right before our eyes—it definitely falls in this category."
On March 2, Tomé and Reinauer traveled with 17 students for the 11-day adventure that journeyed into Cuba's most important cultural and political sites, and included participation in academic conferences focused on political economy, music, dance, film, and architecture, among others, and numerous activities with Cuban college students.
The itinerary was packed with activities that even the most ardent of travelers wouldn't get a chance to experience—dialogues with local musicians, visits with up-and-coming artists, discovering hidden gem restaurants—culminating in a trip of lifetime for students who won't likely be able to travel to Cuba again easily, at least in the near future.
"Learning about any other country is important per se" Tomé said. "However, Cuba is unique in the sense that it is one of our closest neighbors and due to political disagreements on both ends, we, the citizens of both countries, have been constrained from sharing our experiences, culturally, socially, and educationally."
It appears as though that constraint, at least for Miller and her great aunt Silvia, has ceased. "This was definitely one of the highlights of the trip," said Miller, who has already started corresponding with Silvia via letters, translated by El-Assar. "My dad had always talked to me being Cuban, but I never really felt like it." As a result of this field study, Miller walked away with the best souvenir a traveler can ask for: a connection to her past.

Women's Basketball Knocks Off No. 19/16 Purdue 89-73
Feb. 2, 2014
Box Score | Quotes | Highlights
EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State women's basketball team picked up its third victory over a ranked team this afternoon, knocking off No. 19/16 Purdue, 89-73 at the Breslin Center. MSU utilized a balanced and efficient offensive effort, as five Spartans scored in double figures and the team shot 50.0% from the field.
The Spartans (15-7) remain alone in second place in the Big Ten at 7-2, while the Boilermakers fall to 15-7 overall and 5-5 in conference play.
Redshirt freshman Aerial Powers led the attack with her sixth double-double, posting 19 points and 11 rebounds, while also tying her season-high with five assists. Off the bench, junior Jasmine Hines had a season-high 16 points in 23 minutes, while senior Klarissa Bell and freshman Tori Jankoska each poured in 15 points. Jankoska also added a season- and game-high six assists, six rebounds and three steals. Redshirt freshman Branndais Agee had 10 points and a career-high three steals.
The Spartan offense was stagnant early, trailing 16-9 in the first seven minutes, while hitting just four of their first 13 shots. From there, Michigan State hit five of its next six shots to put together a 10-2 run in a two-minute spurt and take the lead. The game would go back-and-forth with four ties and five lead changes in the next six minutes, putting the score at 30-all with 4:15 on the clock. The Spartans would score the next five points, but a 3-pointer at the buzzer by KK Houser made it a one-point game at the half, 39-38.
Early in the second half, Michigan State put together a 14-4 run to go ahead 55-44. The Boilermakers got back within eight (59-51) with 10 and a half minutes left, but that was as close as they got. The Spartans answered with eight unanswered points and held a double-digit lead the rest of the way.
Michigan State shot 50.0% from the field, and held a 39-27 edge on the glass.
The Spartans hit the road on Wednesday to face Illinois at 8 p.m. ET.

Each of us enters practice with a sense that there is something beyond our judging, discursive mind. This is the diamond eye that each of us possess. However, just as fruit takes time to ripen, we too must practice to release all our karmic baggage. Then we will naturally let go into the boundless infinity of our lives.

After her beloved grandparents passed away within months of each other, 21-year-old Marleigh Mathis grieved in an unconventional way. She took the 2009 Subaru Outback they left behind on an adventure of a lifetime far from her Florida home. Alone. Her healing, cross-country journey spanned 5,800 miles and ultimately changed her life.
We first learned about Marleigh's story from a letter sent by her mother, Robin Shivery.
Dear Subaru,
On July 28, 2012, my precious Dad passed away at the age of 76. Much too soon after his passing, my sweet Mama followed him on December 27, 2012, at the age of 75. After nearly 60 years of marriage, they couldn't bear to be apart, I suppose. This wonderful couple left behind three pretty amazing children, several grand and great-grandchildren, an incredible legacy, and the reason for this letter – a 2009 Subaru Outback with only 13,000 miles on it.
My 21-year-old daughter, Marleigh, was privileged and proud to be the next owner. Shortly after receiving the Outback, her summer break from college arrived. Her potential summer job falling through prompted her to take a road trip that began as a trip of healing and exploration and turned out to be life-changing. Choosing to handle the grief of losing both grandparents productively, she loaded up her Outback and set out on her own to parts unknown.
Marleigh is a very pragmatic, grounded girl and had to develop a reason to incur this expense. Her rationale for the road trip became to visit the cities of college campuses she was interested in attending for grad school. Pursuing her bachelor's degree in biomedical science at our local college at the time, she subsequently visited the University of Georgia, Oklahoma State University, and Colorado State University.
The serious business of investigating potential colleges was on her road map, of course. In between, she also stopped off in Memphis, Tennessee, and explored Beale Street; Nashville, Tennessee, and its country music attractions; Tulsa, Oklahoma, to explore family roots; Fort Collins, Colorado, to fall in love with the town and the equine science program at CSU; Cheyenne, Wyoming, to experience the "Daddy of 'em All" National Annual Rodeo and meet a renowned horse trainer and ride his horses; Pueblo, Colorado, to work his ranch for a few days; and, lastly, Corpus Christi, Texas, to visit more family before finally taking the long ride east down I-10 through the bayous of Louisiana and arrive back home in Jacksonville, Florida, 5,800 solo miles later! Her cherished Subaru Outback carried her safely on an adventure of her lifetime.
No one was prepared for what happened next. After the deadlines for applying for admission, registering for classes, and securing housing had passed, Marleigh could not let go of the desire to return to Fort Collins to complete her education in CSU's equine science program. Not the following year … but now. A very few weeks later, she and her amazing stepfather, Harry, had jumped through all of the necessary hoops. She was invited to attend CSU and secured the perfect housing.
When we visit, the sheer number of Subaru vehicles buzzing around the wonderful mountain roads entertains us! She has the "cool car of choice" in Fort Collins. The AWD feature certainly gives her parents a feeling of security, as well as the Subaru reputation for safety. She is 1,800 miles away, and this peace of mind means so much.
