Ovarian Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Study
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigator
Why Is This Trial Important?
Neither the impact of preventive surgery on quality of life, nor the consequences of premature menopause, have been carefully studied in women at high risk. At present, there is no proven screening strategy shown to decrease mortality due to ovarian cancer.
This national trial, conducted with the Gynecologic Oncology Group and the Cancer Genetics Network, will more precisely quantify the extent of cancer risk reduction after preventive surgery, assess both quality of life and incidence of non-cancer diseases related to premature menopause, and evaluate a novel approach to ovarian cancer screening based on quantitative assessment of changes in CA-125 over time.
"About 30 percent of women with ovarian cancer survive longer than five years," said Dr. Greene. "But, if diagnosed and treated before the cancer spreads beyond the ovaries, 90-95 percent of patients live longer than five years. Developing effective prevention and early detection methods is crucial in fighting this disease, particularly for women who are at much greater risk."

Love – Week 10
Contemplation on the Love of God; God's unceasing giving and gifting
Contemplation on the Love of God; God's unceasing giving and gifting
In a struggle to stop doing and to just "be" in her brokenness, Dorothy Dingle found God's grace in some cracked shells on the beach.
Suffering, grace, and purpose from the Ignatian lens of Mags Blackie, author of Rooted in Love.
Feminists often talk about "strong women". But we rarely hear about "strong men" in the same way. True courage and strength means an embrace of genuine feminism—a feminism that reveals the beauty of male and female. Perhaps we can reexamine the meaning of a "strong man" as an effort to balance out our views of men and women.
God's presence dwells in everything. God gives life and being and existence to everything, so finding God in all things is just a matter of opening your eyes!
What happens when God wants you to be a secret agent?
Using music, photography, and gazing at stained glass as methods of prayer and tapping into the divine.
Can we find God in something new age like the Sedona vortexes? I did.
The Christmas season ends on Sunday. The Baptism of the Lord calls us to bring people out of darkness, the dungeon of fear and despair.

Very good baskets These are very sturdy baskets and look very nice. Really an excellent product for the price. You won't be disappointed.

Happy New Year!
As we enter 2006, the Mental Health Section has both an exciting and busy year ahead. First, I would like to thank Bill Fisher for his tenure as chair for the past two years, particularly through the difficult times at the end of 2005. The events of last year have left us slightly behind schedule and with membership faltering a bit. However, we have a core group of dedicated diehard Section members motivated to keep us on track, and we are always looking for more active members.
Every year I hear from, or about, Section members who are eager to get more involved with the Section but don't know how. I would like to use my space here to give you some concrete ideas about how you can help.
1. Submit an abstract. This year's Annual Meeting will take place Nov. 4-8 in Boston and has the theme of "Public Health and Human Rights"—what a fabulous opportunity for the Mental Health Section to highlight some crucial issues. Abstract deadlines are coming up fast—Valentines day (i.e., Feb. 14)! Please take a look at the call for abstracts at http://apha.confex.com/apha/134am/mh.htm for instructions and contact information for this year's Program Chair, David Mandell. Also, please encourage colleagues and students to submit as well.
2. Check your membership record. One of our key issues this year is membership. With the hurricanes, change in venue, and general chaos of last year, many people were unable to attend the conference or forgot to renew membership; and, as always, I heard several stories of members not getting Section information or trying unsuccessfully to change information with APHA. Membership is absolutely crucial to our Section—it determines our budget, the strength of our voice on Governing Council, and the number of slots we get for sessions at the Annual Meeting, among other things. Therefore, I would urge every Section member to log on to the APHA Web site and check your contact information and status of membership—even if you think it's correct. It only takes a few minutes, but could make a world of difference to the Section. I did, and found several small errors. If you do nothing else, please please do this!
To check membership, go to http://www.apha.org/intro_private.cfm and click inside the box on the right that says "Where can I find my Member ID?" ('cause let's face it, who remembers their APHA member ID?). APHA will then, in a few moments, e-mail you your id, password, and date of member expiration. At the same Web address click on "Log in now" and log in—then click on "Update your Member Record" (blue box on the right). Check everything, and if you make changes don't forget to hit the "Submit Changes" button at the bottom of the screen. If your membership is expired or expiring soon, hit the purple "Join/Renew" button on the left of the screen.
If APHA does not recognize your e-mail address when you request your ID, don't give up! Write to email@example.com to update your e-mail address. If you don't, you may not get important information from us, because we rely on APHA's e-mail lists. Nine times out of 10, if you have not heard from us, it is because the e-mail address on record is wrong.
3. Contribute to this Newsletter. Contact Anthony Kouzis at firstname.lastname@example.com. Don't think you have anything to contribute? Consider the following: do you have a new training grant, fellowship, or job opening? Give us the relevant information and we will post it. Have you had publications in peer-reviewed journals in the past few months that you are particularly excited about? Send us a link to the pdf file. Are you looking for collaborators? Write us a short blurb on your work with contact information. Are you involved in any advocacy or policy issues at the national level? Consider writing a short piece on the issue and how people might contribute. We have lots of room in the newsletter, and I would like to see us utilize it as a networking tool more than we have in the past.
4. Volunteer for a committee. We have immediate need for members on two committees, membership and the booth, and we need a 'webmaster'. We will also need help arranging the social this year in Boston, and manning the booth at the conference.
After many years of Herculean effort, Jean Demmler is handing over the membership reigns. I'm sure I speak for so many of us in sincerely thanking her for her efforts. In fact, so great were those efforts that we are replacing her with a committee! Judy Samuels has graciously agreed to chair the committee, but other members are needed. It would involve a commitment of several hours a month throughout the year. For more information you can contact me at email@example.com .
Second, we generated a number of good ideas for sprucing up the Section booth next year, and the Fedex snafu that resulted in the loss of our promotional materials also provides us with an opportunity to start fresh. If you are interested in joining our booth chair, Kathleen Thomas, in this creative effort let me know. In addition, we will be asking for your help in manning the booth at the conference for 1-2 hour stints.
Finally, our section Web site is outdated and needs help. You don't need to know advanced Web design--this opportunity primarily involves making sure the documents on the site are kept updated. This is one of our public faces to the world, so it is really important that it is maintained. Plus, any creative ideas for improvement would be welcome!
5. Volunteer to review abstracts. Every year all of the abstracts that get submitted need to be peer reviewed by at least two people in the field, and preferably three. We need stakeholders of all kinds, including consumers, students, policy makers, and researchers. The review process takes place in the spring; you would get about a month to review about 20 abstracts using a pretty friendly online review process. If you are interested contact David Mandell, our Program Chair, at firstname.lastname@example.com and let him know your contact information and area(s) of expertise.
As you can see, there are plenty of opportunities to become involved. Also, if you have other ideas let me know. Cheers for a happy and healthy 2006!

Rema Lapouse Award
Nominations are sought for the Rema Lapouse Award for 2006. Sponsored by the APHA's Mental Health, Epidemiology, and Statistics Sections, this award is granted to an outstanding psychiatric epidemiologist in recognition of "significant contributions to the scientific understanding of the epidemiology and control of mental disorders." Nominating letters and curriculum vitae by March 1, 2006 to Rema Lapouse Award Committee may be submitted electronically to Anthony Kouzis at firstname.lastname@example.com.
There appears to exist a growing group of public mental health researchers whose areas of interest involve the intersect between the mental health and the criminal justice systems. These topics cover important areas of need and productive avenues of research. As greater attention develops through the funding of specialized programs and studies, the importance of establishing a central point of contact for researchers and consumers increases. We are therefore requesting your perspectives, comments, and points of interest around a possible interest group within the APHA Mental Health Section focusing on the mental health and criminal justice systems. If this is of interest to you, please let us know. In addition, we would like your thoughts on how this might be developed and where it should be focused. Please direct correspondence to John Crilly, PhD, MPH, MSW: email@example.com.
Soon after Hurricane Katrina devastated thousands of miles of the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Mississippi, The Children's Health Fund (CHF) responded to the urgent public health needs by establishing Operation Assist (OA), in collaboration with the National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. OA provides acute care and mental health services using Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) in Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana, ensuring access to health care for displaced children and families. OA's six mobile teams also provide public health assessments and management. OA is overseen by Irwin Redlener, MD, president and co-founder, along with singer-songwriter Paul Simon of the CHF. He also directs the NCDP. OA has been working closely with senior disaster response officials, local health care resources and community leaders, to coordinate with other efforts, determine where services should be dispatched, and assess the situation. New MMUs have been ordered and permanent clinical and public health teams are being hired. In September and October, OA saw more than 10,000 patient encounters at more than 35 sites, which includes 3,400 in Mississippi and Louisiana and an additional 6,600 in Texas and New York. The initial patient need was extreme, with much of the care being related to injuries from the disaster or acute medical problems. CHF teams were treating infected wounds, providing critical vaccinations, dealing with exacerbated chronic health conditions, and managing severe psychological stress.
Gulf Coast Community Support and Resilience Program. Spearheaded by Paula Madrid, PsyD, this program will provide mental heath support, interventions, and education to all impacted psychologically by hurricane Katrina. Madrid has met with evacuees, teachers, nurses, and directors of school-based health programs to assess the needs and new and existing mental health services. A specially designed mobile unit has been ordered to provide services, including individual and group therapy consistently. Case management, community education, and staff training will also be provided. Similarly, the program aims to help strengthen mental health infrastructure of impacted communities by connecting individuals with existing resources as well as to provide training to caretakers in order to increase their ability to serve their client populations. The Program will take a community-based approach in the Biloxi-gulf-port area, providing direct mental health services, case management and referrals to impacted individuals. In addition, the program will conduct mental health community education presentations, and offer staff training to schools and community organizations that work directly with children. The program will provide services aboard mobile medical units as well as on-site in schools or school-based health centers.
Public health assessment and intervention. By collaborating with the NCDP, OA is bringing significant public health expertise to the field. An official partnership with Tulane University is also being explored. Activities under way include a survey of Louisiana schools looking at health, mental health, environmental and educational issues. In Mississippi, our public health team is conducting environmental health assessments on the Turkey Creek community in Biloxi, which is bordered by two waterways, each of which is used by hazardous industries. Threats from industrial waste represent both short- and long-term hazards. Throughout the Gulf Coast region, the impact of black mold infestation occurring in flooded buildings on residents with respiratory conditions will also be monitored. To gauge the safety of individual homes and communities, the project will conduct environmental health assessments and field testing.
Policy/Advocacy. Redlener has met and spoken extensively with national, regional and local officials regarding the opportunities and promise of reconstruction, and has been invited to bring OA staff expertise to represent medically-disadvantaged children, families and communities. Several CHF Board Members met with officials at an Emergency Operation Center and visited a service site. A highlight of the visit was the town hall meeting where a range of medical and public health issues were discussed, providing an platform for future advocacy. We plan to convene field hearings in Louisiana and Mississippi, and CHF will lend its voice to the long-term recovery process. Ensuring that survivors, especially children, are linked to medical homes and that individuals are seamlessly transitioned from emergency Medicaid programs to permanent ones is a critical goal. The successful restoration of the public health care infrastructure also hinges on increasing the medical personnel workforce and overcoming transportation barriers that impede access to health care.
When we spoke he seemed confused. His name I learned was John. He was pale with long shaggy brown hair and sunken eyes. I judged him to be about 30. I suggested he needed to go to a warmer place; he seemed not to understand. I told him I would try to find something warm for him and returned to the supermarket. They were closing, but a young clerk immediately understood when I explained the need to cover the guy outside. He said the man had been there for days. Just sitting and staring. The woman in the meat department said she had left him some money as she left the previous night. The clerk noticed there was a policeman in the store at the manager's counter buying cigarettes. The clerk had given me some sheets of plastic used for carrying meat carcasses. It was 8 p.m. on New Year's Day, and the shop was closing.
I spoke to the officer and explained the situation. I said the man appeared to have mental illness and required a psychiatric evaluation and shelter. He appeared not to understand the danger he was in by sitting in the cold and that he was in danger of dying from hypothermia. The officer said he couldn't take the man in unless there was a "code blue"; the temperature had to be below freezing before you could take someone in. He explained he couldn't violate the man's civil rights. I countered that if the man was a danger to himself by not understanding the need to seek shelter, he would die. He said that he had orders not to bring anyone in unless they wanted to go. We walked over to John. The policeman spoke to him briefly. "You want to go to the station?" John seemed not to hear. The policeman said as he walked away, opening the pack of Newport that he had just purchased, "He don't want to go. There's nothing I can do unless they call a 'Code Blue'."
There is not a good ending to this story. Calls to a crisis center at a nearby hospital were also unsuccessful. This story is repeated across our country throughout the year as many homeless persons die on our streets, (Wind and Cold Are Blamed In Three Deaths, NY Times, Jan. 16). Unlike children who die as a result of abuse, there are rarely calls forinvestigation by our elected representatives when persons with mental illness die as to how our public mental health system has failed. Currier's finding (Currier, Glen, Psychiatric Services, January 2000) that mortality among persons with mental illness has tripled since the onset of psychiatric hospital closing should be a wake up call. Such an astronomical increase in mortality for this group should be of concern to all.
It is good that next year we meet in Boston with a theme of Public Health and Human Rights. Perhaps we will also consider what needs to be done to repair our fragmented and dysfunctional public health system to prevent homelessness and mortality among those with serious mental illness

A familiar face is back up in Mesa and on Tuesday night, the "Diving Lady" once again lit up the Starlight Motel.
The neon sign was ripped off the roof of the motel near Lindsay and Main by a storm more than two years ago.
About 7 p.m. Tuesday, the 50-year-old sign was re-lit for the first time since that storm. About 100 people were on-hand for the lighting.
The sign was originally posted to let people know the motel featured a swimming pool.
"Almost 80 feet high, and it is the last animated neon sign in the valley. The lady dives into a pool of cool blue neon water, and the water actually makes a splash," says Vic Linoff, president of the Mesa Historical Foundation.
She dives every 3 seconds, 20 times a minute.
This was made possible due to donations from the community. FOX 10's Anita Roman has more.

Gastrostomy feeding tube
Alternate Names
Feeding - gastrostomy tube; G-tube; Gastrostomy button; Bard Button; MIC-KEY
What to Expect at Home
Your child's gastrostomy tube or "G-tube" is a special tube in your child's stomach that will help deliver food and medicines until your child can chew and swallow. Sometimes, it is replaced by a button, called a Bard Button orMIC-KEY, 3 to 8 weeks after surgery.
These feedings will help your child grow strong and healthy. Many parents have done this with good results.
You will quickly get used to feeding your child through the tube, or button. It will take about the same time as a regular feeding, around 20 to 30 minutes. There are two ways to feed through the system: the syringe method and the gravity method. Each method is described below. Make sure you follow all of the nurse's instructions as well.
Your doctor will tell you the right mix of formula or blended feedings to use, and how often to feed your child. Have this food ready at room temperature before you start, by taking it out of the refrigerator for about 30 to 40 minutes. Do not add more formula or solid foods before you talk to your child's nurse.
All of the equipment can be cleaned with hot, soapy water and hung to dry. You can try using seltzer to clean the tube if there is dried up formula inside it. You will also clean your child's skin around the tube 1 to 3 times a day with mild soap and water, and dry. The skin should heal in 2 to 3 weeks.
Remember to wash your hands regularly to prevent the spread of germs. Take good care of yourself as well, so that you can stay calm and positive, and cope with stress.
Tips for Feeding Time with Your Child
Make sure your child is sitting up either in your arms or in a high chair.
If your child fusses or cries while feeding, pinch the tube with your fingers to stop the feeding until your child is more calm and quiet.
Feeding time is a social, happy time. Make it pleasant and fun. Your child will enjoy gentle talk and play.
Try to keep your child from pulling on the tube.
Since your child isn't using their mouth yet, your doctor will discuss with you other ways to allow your child to suck and develop mouth and jaw muscles.
Feeding Your Child with the Gravity Method
Your nurse will show you the best way to use your system without getting air into the tubes. Follow these steps to feed your child:
- Wash your hands
- Gather your supplies (feeding set, extension set if needed for a G-button or MIC-KEY, measuring cup with spout, room temperature food, and a glass of water).
- Check that your formula or food is warm or room temperature by putting a few droplets on your wrist.
- Close the clamp on the feeding tube.
- Hang the bag high on a hook, and squeeze the bag to fill it half way with the feeding.
- Next, open the clamp so that the food fills the tube with no air.
- Close the clamp.
- Insert the catheter tip into the G-tube.
- When you are finished feeding, your nurse may recommend that you add water to the tube to flush it out. G-tubes will then need to be clamped at the tube and the feeding system, and removed. For a G-button or MIC-KEY, you'll close the clamp and then remove the tube.
If you are using a G-button system, you will attach the feeding tube to the feeding system first, then fill it with formula/food. Clamp the tube, then open the flap of the G-button or MIC-KEY and attach the feeding tube to the button. Release the clamp when you are ready to feed.
Feeding Your Child with the Syringe Method
Your nurse will teach you the best way to use your system without getting air into the tubes. Follow these steps to feed your child:
- Wash your hands.
- Gather your supplies (a syringe, feeding tube, measuring cup with spout, room temperature food, water, rubber band, clamp, and safety pin).
- Check that your formula or food is warm or room temperature by putting a few droplets on your wrist.
- For G-tubes, insert the syringe into the open end of the feeding tube.
- For a G-button or Mic-Key, open the flap and insert the bolus feeding tube. Then attach the Leur-Lock syringe to the open end of the feeding tube.
- Pour the formula into the syringe until it is half full and unclamp the tube. Hold the tip to the syringe no higher than your child's shoulders. If the food is not flowing, squeeze the tube in downward strokes to bring the food down.
- You can wrap a rubber band around the syringe and safety pin it to the top of your shirt so that your hands are free to play.
- When you are finished feeding, your nurse may recommend that you add water to the tube to flush it out. G-tubes will then need to be clamped at the tube and the feeding system, and removed. For a G-button or Mic-Keys, you'll close the clamp and then remove the tube.
Bloating after Feeding
If your child's belly becomes hard or swollen after a feeding, try venting, or "burping," the tube or button:
- Attach an empty syringe to the G-tube and unclamp it to allow air to flow out.
- Attach the feeding adapter to the Mic-Key button and open the tube to the air to release.
- Ask your doctor for a special decompression tube for "burping" the Bard Button.
Giving Medicines to Your Child
Sometimes you may need to give medicines to your child through the tube. Follow these guidelines:
- Try to give your child medicine before a feeding so that they work better. You may also be asked to give your child medicines on an empty stomach outside of mealtime.
- The medicine should be liquid, or finely crushed and dissolved in water, so that the tube does not get blocked. Check with your doctor or pharmacist on how to do this.
- Always flush the tube with a little water between medicines.
- Never mix medicines.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your child's nurse or doctor if your child:
- Seems hungry after the feeding
- Has diarrhea after feedings
- Has a hard and swollen belly 1 hour after feedings
- Seems to be in pain
- Has changes in their condition
- Is on new medication
- Is constipated and passing hard, dry stools
Also call the doctor if:
- The feeding tube has come out and you do not know how to replace it.
- There is leakage around the tube or system.
- There is redness or irritation on the skin area around the tube.

Seekamp, Contreras Lead USD Past Cal State-Fullerton
FULLERTON, CA — Nicole Seekamp had 18 points and Raeshel Contreras scored 17 points in her Coyote debut as the South Dakota women's basketball team topped Cal State Fullerton 66-57 inside Titan Gym on Friday night.
South Dakota (1-0) never trailed in the game and led by as many as 19 in the first half (26-7). As a team, South Dakota outrebounded the Titans (0-1) 44-31 with Seekamp and Tia Hemiller grabbing seven rebounds each.
Contreras was 6-of-8 shooting coming off the bench while Seekamp shot 6-of-14 and 5-for-6 from the free-throw line. Polly Harrington also reached double-digit points, scoring nine of her 11 points in the second half.

Despite causing 25 USD turnovers, the Titans only held a 17-13 advantage in points off turnovers.
South Dakota will play at UC Irvine on Sunday at 4 p.m.

Reykjavik Sightseeing and Blue Lagoon Tour
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Reykjavik Sightseeing and Blue Lagoon Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
We liked this tour very much. You get to see every thing in Reykjavik in this tour. The Blue Lagoon experience was great!
The sightseeing trip was informative and gave us a good overview of the city and some of its history. The guide was pleasant, and easily understood. Blue Lagoon, although expensive, was a delightful experience.
The tour was good. We saw most major attractions and had photo opportunity. Experience in the Blue Lagoon was amazing but be careful not to get your camera/phone wet!
Good tour definitely worth doing! Sightseeing trip in the morning could have done with being slightly longer (another half an hour or so) as was a little rushed. Guide excellent and spoke very good English. Blue Lagoon is a must do trip whilst in Iceland, perfect way to revitalise those achey feet!
United Kingdom
Good introduction to downtown Reykjavik and surrounding area. Plenty of photo opportunities, knowledgeable guide, good value for money.
Wonderful tour, everything lovely. Very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. As it was Sunday, was not able to enter Church. Wished tour could have been longer, but time is time.
Was much more interesting than expected... always good!
Great tour for seeing a lot of the Reykjavik and surrounding area. If you focus is going to teh Lagoon I suggest making hat a separate trip. It is great to just see the lagoon.
Zsolt J
It was a very well organised tour and showed the max is possible in Reykjavik.
The blue lagoon is a must to see attraction, and the massage there is just amazung.
Inligically I had to wait 1 hour in the capital for the shuttle, it was a silly organisation!
This was a very interesting tour which lived up to its reputation !
This tour was great - after a couple of days in Reykjavik I wondered what the tour would show us that we hadn't already seen. Couldn't have been more wrong, as the tour took us to the outskirts of the city as well as showing key points in the city centre. A great tour with a great guide!
Very relaxing and wonderful experience.
Love Blue Lagoon! Should go and spend more time there!
Excellent trip for all. We had a mixed party and enjoyed by all. It is a wierd experience in the cold but within a hot lagoon, face pack on, drinking a beer or eating an icecream whilst in the lagoon. For the ladies bring lots of money for pampering goods in the shop. We did however find that The Blue Lagoon products were cheaper at the airport than the shop. This trip is a must!!!!!
Great way to see the highlights of the city, Martius our guide was full of great information and lots of detail. ecommend this tour highly !!

HENRY COUNTY, OH (TOLEDO NEWS NOW) - Liberty Center Schools dismissed just after 9 a.m. Wednesday after a leak was discovered in an outside natural gas meter. School is closed the rest of the day.
Parents who normally pick up their children as car riders need to make arrangements or call the office at 419-533-5011.
The gas company tested inside the classrooms and found no gas in the building. However, the egg smell remained. There was no danger to the students or staff, but the odor was causing discomfort.
The heat had to be shut down while the gas line is repaired.
The building will be aired out Wednesday and classes will resume Thursday.

The Fourth of July is an incredibly important date in American history as it marks our independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Every year on this day, Americans from coast to coast and every state in between celebrate this great country's liberation with a good old American style barbeque. This day is truly about being with those you love and grubbing down on traditional summer food. Whether it be burgers and dogs, chicken and corn, fish and veggies or all of the above, a Fourth of July barbeque is just not the same without a celebratory red white and blue cocktail.
While tropical fruits are in their prime during the month of July, for this special day why not further honor our great country and imbibe locally grown, traditionally American summer fruits. The options are a plenty. With cherries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, apples and even grapes in season, the choosing can be tough. So lighten your load and take To Abigail for a taste run.
A day before the Declaration of Independence was signed, John Adams (part of the Committee of Five who signed the document) wrote a letter to his wife Abigail stating that this day "ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more." This cocktail is John's letter in cocktail form, for Abigail.
With luscious red cherry juice, fresh summer blueberries and a white sippy-straw for slurping To Abigail is a festive, beautifully tasting libation that can easily be made in pitcher form ahead of time. So go ahead, focus on your burger toppings and music selection knowing this year's show of cocktail patriotism is in the bag.
To AbigailServing Size: 1
1 ¾ oz Square One Organic Vodka
¾ oz St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
1 oz bottled cherry juice
1 tsp blueberry preserves
¾ oz lemon juice
4 drops rose water
fresh blueberries for garnish
Place all ingredients in your cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake for 30 seconds and fine strain into an ice filled rocks glass. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries and a white straw. Then sit back, relax, watch the night sky light up with fireworks and enjoy.

Before class started, I got an air popper, 1 popcorn kernel for each student, and a large piece of butcher paper that I divided into fourths.
I told students that I wanted to apply heat to these popcorn kernels and asked what they thought would happen if we did. Of course, students knew that the popcorn kernels would pop. So then I threw a curveball at them: what if we pop them from this air popper? How far do you think your popcorn will pop?
I gave every student a picture of a popcorn kernel and allowed them to color it. When they were finished, students taped their paper kernel down on the butcher paper in the section {sectioned off in feet} where they thought the most kernels would land. We graphed our predictions before I gave every student 1 kernel and allowed them to write their observations about it in their notebook. Then, one at a time, students came to add their kernel to the tray of my air popper. Finally, I fired that baby up!
Students were SO excited to watch popcorn fly out! Unfortunately for them, my air popper has an overhead arm that prevents it from flying in the air TOO high or TOO far. We talked about that arm's function {to help families easily catch and eat their popcorn without making a huge mess or having to chase after the kernels around their kitchen!} and what might happen if we had set the popcorn popper on its side or taken the arm off.
We graphed what really happened and compared the results to our predictions. This was another great opportunity to talk about sometimes our predictions aren't correct, and that's totally OK in science!

MADISON (WSAU) The governor's office has indicated that Scott Walker would veto a proposed tax on minerals taken by mining companies. Spokesman Cullen Werwie remains opposed to tax hikes. But according to Senate Democrat Tim Cullen of Janesville, Wisconsin mines would still get a better tax deal than similar sites in neighboring Minnesota – even with the so-called "tonnage tax."
The tax was part of Cullen's alternative mining bill, which he introduced after he objected to the package introduced by majority Republicans. Senate G-O-P leader Scott Fitzgerald told a business conference in Madison yesterday that some of his fellow Republicans have supported the tonnage tax – but he's against it, and he's sure that Walker would veto it.
The G-O-P package would tax mining companies on their income, as opposed to starting a brand new tax on what's taken out of the ground. Cullen said Republicans are ignoring the law they passed a year ago, in which miners and other companies will have no corporate income tax liability by 2015.
Meanwhile, the Americans for Tax Reform sent an e-mail to Walker and certain legislators, saying the tonnage tax would violate their pledge not to raise any taxes. The Legislature's Joint Finance Committee will be the next to consider the mining package. No date has been set for that.

NEW YORK -- Christian Thomas is one step closer to following in the footsteps of his father.
The 18-year-old forward signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the New York Rangers on Thursday.
Christian's father, Steve, played more than 1,200 career NHL games.
They became the first father and son to each crack the 50-goal barrier in the Ontario Hockey League after Christian scored 54 times in 66 games with the Oshawa Generals this season.
No OHL player scored more than the 95 goals Christian Thomas had over the last two seasons.
The Rangers selected him 40th overall in last year's draft.

LIVONIA, MICH. (Dec. 27, 10:55 a.m. ET) — Big automakers are acting way too cautious to meet the 2025 deadline to average 54.5 mpg, according to pioneering light-car designers. If that's the average, it means car fleets are going to need some models that get many more miles per gallon. And it isn't easy, said Oliver Kuttner, founder and CEO of Edison2, which developed a gasoline-engine car that can top 100 mpg and won $5 million in Progressive Insurance's Automotive X Prize in 2010.

First-date tips from a bartender. Plus, find out the ideal drink order.
By Tiffany McHugh for YourTango.com
A good first-date first-impression is almost as essential as a strong first-date-cocktail. Maybe you're tired of being the bad boy, and you really want to wow this girl with some newfound, genuine charm. Or, maybe you're sick of being given the girl-next-door treatment, and you're more interested in seeming every bit the sexy-siren this evening.

It's poor form to ever mention gifts to your guests. But just wait until you read her former friend's response.
By Kim Fusaro
I just got an email from a frustrated wedding guest, we'll call her Gretchen, who is currently in school and recently lost her job and hasn't gotten around to giving her childhood friend (who we'll call Brandy) a wedding gift. Gretchen, who is 23, had given Brandy a homemade bridal shower gift and had said (TWICE) that she'd "make up" for the wedding gift when she had more cash. (I should mention here that while wedding planning, Brandy was vocal about what she and her groom spent per guest to throw their wedding: $200.) Of course at this point (twice) Brandy-the-bride should've said, "We know you're strapped. We don't need a wedding gift, we just wanted to celebrate with you."

Plus, other strange criminal sentences having to do with matters of the heart.
By Gena Kaufman
The former lawyer in me was totally intrigued by this story I read this morning involving a very unusual combination of a judge's sentence in court and a defendant's love life. It's not often I get to combine my former and current jobs, you guys! Here's what I read about today:
Sentenced to: Take a break from dating
A Nebraska judge doled out an unusual sentence for a man who was part of an attempted burglary, but hesitated at the last minute and didn't go forward with it. Because the judge deemed the defendant had a "moral compass," he sentenced him to a fee and probation--and part of the terms of probation is a ban on romantic relationships. The judge, like everyone giving post-breakup advice, actually said, "You need to focus on you."
Forget online dating sites - finding your next love is as easy as turning on your smartphone!
Dating is no longer the conventional "boy-meets-girl" rom-com that it used to be. Mobile and online dating mean that we don't have to wait around for Mr. Right to make his appearance; we can search for him ourselves! But this way of finding your man isn't always easy to navigate, so we've rounded up the best new dating apps and how to use them. Don't sit around waiting for Prince Charming this fall; be sure to take the first step by trying to find him online with one of these hot new apps!
Her Campus: What guys think of your sexy Halloween costume
By giving pretty faces & perfect bodies precedence, OKCupid will to become an even bigger minefield.
By Kristine Solomon for YourTango.com
OKCupid recently announced plans to give users the option to pay a fee to weed out "unattractive" users — those who describe their body types as "overweight," "a little extra," "full-figured," and — most unsettling — "used up." They also offer the option of allowing their paying "A-List Members" to choose partners based on an attractiveness rating gleaned by a "five-star scoring system determined by OkCupid's own algorithms," according to Gawker.
OkCupid's co-founder, Sam Yagan, was quoted as saying, "You always have an option not to fill in anything you're not comfortable with revealing about yourself online."
Manly, rebellious tunes make men stand out, study finds.

Compared to a guy's personal website that featured classical background music, women rated the same guy to be 17 percent more attractive if his site rocked heavy metal jams, the research reveals.

We bet you never knew that scaring a guy will make him fall for you.
Science works in weird and wonderful ways, and chemistry between two people is no different.

Bayern Munich record biggest-ever shot differential in Champions League
Bayern Munich beat Viktoria Plzen 5-0 on Wednesday in the Champions League, but that scoreline doesn't even begin to describe how dominant the reigning champions were. According to UEFA's official match report, Bayern incredibly out-shot Plzen 35:0. Twenty-two of Bayern's attempts were on target.
No, really. This is a fact:
To be fair, stat services WhoScored.com and Opta both had it at 35:1 shots, crediting Plzen with one blocked attempt. But either way, this marks the biggest-ever shot discrepancy since such data was recorded:
34 - Bayern hatte gegen Pilsen 35-1 Torschüsse, eine solche Differenz gab es in der CL in 90 Minuten noch nie seit Datenerfassung. Übermacht— OptaFranz (@OptaFranz)
Translation: "Bayern had 35-1 shots on goal against Plzen, such a difference has never existed in the [Champions League] in 90 minutes since data collection. Superiority."
Want more fun Bayern facts?
Bayern have held an average possession advantage of 71% so far in the Champions League, the highest of any team. Their 76 shot attempts are also the most of any team, while they've conceded only five shots on target thus far, another top mark. And Wednesday's win was Bayern's eighth straight Champions League victory, a new club record.
In short, we're thinking Bayern are still the team to beat in Europe.

Scott Gorman is right!
Scott Gorman's review is correct in every detail. Great hosts, beautiful location and the room is clean, comfortable and well laid out. Highly recommended.
Beautiful, Restful, Clean Place, Caring Owner
This cabin is beautiful inside and out, restful, clean, and close enough to Yellowstone, that we traveled there every day with no problems. It was as advertised. The owner, Uncle Mike, is very kind and caring, calling us about halfway through our stay, to see if we needed anything, and if everything was to our liking. We felt secure there, and rested well every night. We would definitely recommend this property over and over. We had the best time staying there. We went to Yellowstone National Park every day, and found the drive in and out to be well worth it. The views and abundance of wildlife on the way to and from the park were amazing, even right outside the cabin on the property. What a great place to stay! Thanks Uncle Mike!
family reunion fun
Our family had a fantastic time! Clarksfork guest lodge was 28 minutes north of Cody and 10 minutes from the Chief Joesph Hwy, which was a breathtaking ride up to 12k feet, with hundreds of lakes and snow pockets even in September! Kayaking was available on the large stocked trout lake/pond also on the Clarksfork River which goes right by the lodge. Wildlife meandered past the front of lodge early mornings. The beds were wonderful, with tastefully decorated rooms. The downstairs had a bar, pool table, washer /dryer. Beautiful views of the Beartooth Mts and Clarksfork river from a large lobby. Big screen tv, internet and fax machine at our disposal. A well stocked kitchen, (all we did is bring the food). We feel we can recommend this as fun and relaxing place to get away from it all!

In his 30 years in the technology industry, Scott has successfully guided companies from inception to maturity.
Most recently, Webber has been an investor and mentor to young Indiana technology companies. He currently serves as the Chairman & CEO of Volatus Advisors, an investment and advisory vehicle for young companies.
