Three Golden Rules:
1. A little goes a long way, so wear only one gold piece (whether it's a jacket, socks, or trousers) per outfit.
2. Unless you're trying to look like a dandy, pair it with neutral shades like white, gray, and navy.
3. In addition to wearing the color as a solid, try it in patterns—like a blue-and-gold-striped university scarf.

The three-piece set bolts together easily and does not require anchoring. Rainwater flows smoothly through a 2-inch lower channel, and Bridjits will not affect street cleaner operations.

Study Abroad Excursions
By: Samantha Griswold '14
If studying abroad is supposed to help broaden one's education, my experience certainly did that. When you tell people you did a semester abroad, they expect you to have lived with other American exchange students in a foreign country while frolicking around a new city, taking the occasional class or two. Being with American students and taking one or two classes doesn't really sound like a full immersion into foreign university culture to me, however. The University of Southampton Exchange gives you the opportunity for full culture immersion. First off, living in residence halls with British students forces you to make some international friends. Secondly, you take a full course load, allowing you to experience foreign teaching techniques. Most important for me was the opportunity to join clubs and teams that I wouldn't have joined at Webb due to lack of numbers and interest.
While at Southampton I played for the University's varsity lacrosse team. With practices twice a week and games and social events once a week, I was able to forge strong friendships with people outside of the maritime world. Don't get me wrong—I love people who like boats, but it is really nice to be able to interact with people with whom you can share other common interests. One benefit of playing on the varsity lacrosse team was the opportunity to travel to and compete against different British universities. My team travelled to Bath, Exeter, and Bristol. On one occasion we were even able to stop by Stonehenge on the way home from a match. From these experiences I was able to gain a broad understanding of British university culture. Being on the ladies lacrosse team gave me an experience I would be hard pressed to find at Webb. Being part of the SULLC (Southampton University Ladies Lacrosse Club) also gave me the opportunity to be part of a family, similar to the one I was missing at Webb. This was definitely a plus, as sometimes I was pretty homesick during my stay in Southampton. Being part of the SULLC was a memory I will never forget.

Evans leads way as ETSU women finish eighth at UNCG Starmount Forest Fall Classic
Tuesday, September 28, 2010
GREENSBORO, N.C. (Sept. 28, 2010) - After waiting through heavy rains that washed out Monday's play, the ETSU women's golf team was unable to keep pace with the leaders during final round action Tuesday in the UNCG Starmount Forest Fall Classic at the Bryan Park Golf Club's Players Course.
The Bucs, who posted a team score of 308 in Sunday's first round, finished the second round at 309 and ended the 15-team event in eighth place. ETSU was led by freshman Sian Evans (Gillingham, England) and senior Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria), who both finished tied for 20th on the individual leaderboard.
While ETSU finished at 617 for the event, the Bucs were 22 strokes off the pace of team champion East Carolina. Meanwhile, Stetson's Alex Buelow and N.C. State's Brittany Marchand tied for the individual tilte.
For the Bucs, Muehl posted a team best round of 2-over-par 74 on Tuesday, while Evans finished at 3-over 75. Other ETSU results included a tie for 37th by freshman Larissa Steinfeldt (Eschweiler, Germany), a tie for 53rd by junior Lauren Smith (Cramlington, England), and a 60th place showing by junior Mayte Vizcarrondo (Cadiz, Spain).
ETSU will return to action Oct. 11 and 12th at the Mercedes-Benz Women's Collegiate Championships hosted by Tennessee in Knoxville. For more on ETSU women's golf throughout the 2010-11 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's golf link.

I was inspired to post this after reading the intro to magnetic stripe reading and Stripe Snoop that is found in MAKE magazine Volume 1. That tutorial details how to interface a stripe reader to a game port interface, but I have a mac laptop, so I don't have a game port interface!
Also, I think that the arduino suite of hardware/software is much more integrated and easy to understand for beginners than the "traditional" approach presented on the Stripe Snoop website and MAKE magazine.
However, this application simply shows the data that's on a magnetic stripe; it does not have any of the more advanced features that Stripe Snoop does.
The last step of this instructable has some links to more in-depth information about this topic for those who are interested.
Step 1: Hardware
Don't worry about buying one of the fancy harnesses that they sell. There are breakout pads on the circuit board inside of the reader. Once you have received your reader, pop off the side cover, and solder wires to the pads as shown in the picture. Of course, if you have a different reader, the wiring will probably be different. In this case, consult your reader's datasheet to locate the necessary pads.
Next, connect the wires to the Arduino's digital pins as follows:
Finally, connect the +5v and GND to their respective terminals on the Arduino board.
How could you not mention the fact that this device doesn't read track 1?
Where's the code located? I don't see it.
Where is the code?
I'm trying but nothing works. Can someone help-me, Im trying to use a CIS LCM-040 module
what PDE ?
heres plans let me know how it turns out.
(where its says cover... change to page 106 if not set to 106
got a 404 on that link?
Good night ..
eae guys, someone has the source code that uses eel? because I searched and found it here in sete..quem have put ae ..
me add firstname.lastname@example.com
whatsshap (63)92392003
"This adapter converts electrical signals from a TTL magnetic stripe reader into 1's and 0's that are "typed" on the USB keyboard device that the adapter registers when it is plugged into a computer. This string of 1's and 0's can be fed into Stripe Snoop using ss -i or saved to disk for later analysis"
So you should be able to do something like that.
Yes, I read little in the docs that come with stripesnoop, it has "input mode" where you can take any bitstream as input (via stdin) so just do
yourbitstream | ss -i, in linux at least. Maybe you have to convert it to binary first, I don't know.
I have to try this myself soon, the problem is that the stripe-reader I have is of some unknown model and I don't know which of the cables is for what, but it is 5 of them so I think I should be able to use it, if I only find out which ones are the right ones. Does anybody have any ideas on how to find out?
Give me the .pde File please. i want to have data as this :
Stripe_Data: 0001101001010111010101111100000
Stripe_Data: 111100011000100
THank you
like if you swipe a boomers card can you put points on to it.
They have no data storage system accesible to every machine.
Could you, in theory, use this to 'credit' your vending card?
Great question...
Thanks in advance,
a student from the Netherlands

The decriminalization of abortion
Are you in favor or against the decriminalization of abortion?
What are your thoughts and arguments?
Let's start the debate!
Jun 10 2011: While I can understand the "Is a fetus alive or not" debate, I think there's a whole lot of difference between killing a proto-human, and condemning a children to live in a family that don't want to / can't support him both emotionally and materially, which could have disastrous consequence both on his well-being and on the well-being of the parents. Plus, I think a woman should have the last word on what's going on in her body.
So yes, I'm in favor of the decriminalization of abortion. Or more accurately, I'm against its criminalization since it's already legal and well-accepted where I live.
Chris Aldon
Jun 10 2011: So it is better to not exist at all than to exist in a dysfunctional family?
- +1
Jun 11 2011: in my opinion, i believe that its better to not have a abortion but rather put him up for a adoption.
at the very least the child will live on freely with a family who really wants a baby and able to support it.
if you think of putting up for adoption as the best choice then there would be no reason to have a abortion
Jun 11 2011: Would you adopt a child?Jun 22 2011: I think there are plenty of children waiting for adoption already.Jun 11 2011: I would say yes to your question Chris.
A life full of depression and chaos is a miserable existence, especially if there are no to few chances of significant change.
Why I also believe in euthanasia; it is the ultimate choice every human always has, to end their own life.The most extreme choice next to taking anthers life in my opinion. Still when life is grim, your few choices become God.
Jun 11 2011: My belief with pregnancy is that it is no longer the woman's body, she is sharing it with the fetus, so it is both of theirs.
I also think that the chance to live is so rare and so precious that it is always worth the risk.
and like you I support euthanasia, but that is a whole other topic!Jun 11 2011: Nick................Boy do I know what depression and suicidal thoughts are !!! For some reason (lack of affirmation is one of many) we become irrational and nothing makes sense. In my case, I was so terrified of dying and hell that I continued to live in this state for much too long. But I did see other people who could smile and at intervals some people were kind to me, so I could see a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. I learned that I had been taught to be afraid. So when I was affirmed (it took years for me to trust again) I was free. Is it not really peculiar how things work out sometimes ?
@ Chris.......Thank you and yes, quite a shift occurs from despair to gratitude.Jun 11 2011: Christopher...Not in my case. I am darn glad someone let me live even if I had to endure abuse.
Jun 11 2011: Helen I am so happy to hear you're grateful for life despite how bad it can be at times.Jun 11 2011: Helen,
With I all I say, is to respect, have you ever felt like you wanted to "die" a few times in life? Times those feelings by a million and some people deal with that daily and still find reason to live, but they have a goal, if you no goals you do not survive!.
WE must constantly trick ourselves into thinking there is value in life that there is purpose, goals do this! By "trick" I mean we follow what makes us happy in life, physically and mentally. We are controlled by what our body wants as well as our thoughts. By body I mean both brain functions (neurological) and organ/bodily functions (biology).
To have this ability takes a large consciousness. To have this ability and fight in life is beautiful, perceptively.
From this I gather; we need to encourage each other to be altruist and selfish at the same time! Oh that sounds silly! But that is how I feel.
If this was the practice I would agree abortions should be illegal, it just isn't reality to me...

I'm against Abortion unless there is a particular health concern to the mother or the fetus.
When life begins is a chicken and the egg riddle with people, there is no sure answer that will convince everyone. Pregnancy whether wanted or unwanted is a responsibility both parents should share.
In the case of rape I am still against abortion, there are times in life when responsibility is forced into our hands, no matter the means the responsibility is still ours to bear.
Helen Hupe
Jun 11 2011: Christopher....................I think we are really on the same page. I personally know a person who is the product of rape and her life has been one of acceptance and she and her husband have lovely children and granchildren. How awful to deprive someone of a chance.!

Jun 11 2011: Helen it is good to get a ladies opinion in this talk.
- +1
I used to agree with abortion (hell I know a girl who's had one) then I slowly started to turn the other direction and realize how abortion (in my opinion) is little more than a modern convenience for a process of nature.
Jun 11 2011: "how abortion is little more than a modern convenience for a process of nature" - now that's a good point for the debate, Christopher, very interesting point of view, thanks for sharing!
But why can't we consider it a good convenience for a process of nature? I agree with you that it is a convenience, but in my opinion it is good convenience (if made properly)Jun 11 2011: I was supposed to "not exist", my mom considered an abortion because she was too young. But even though I'm in favor of the decriminalization. If moms consider the situation very, very carefully, with support from their families, friends and doctors, I'm ok with it. And of course, there should be a time limit to do the abortion.
It's good to see your face around here, Helen, Welcome, haha!
Jun 11 2011: Time should matter!! And be the law (and/or rules).Jun 11 2011: Hi Lucas...............Thanks for the welcome. I am so glad that your mom did not go thru with her consideration. Just think, I and the rest of us would have not had the oppotunity to know you. Just as an aside Beethoven and Helen Keller would not have existed had we used our present day evaluations of who should live....Your friend HelenJun 22 2011: Helen, you could make the same argument against contraception. Also, the argument can be turned on its head. What about all the tyrants we could have saved ourselves from if an abortion had taken place? You cannot argue something as serious as abortion with arguments from hindsight.
Notwithstanding the popularity of the Great Bethoven fallacy, the actual story behind it is an outright lie. Bethoven was the second oldest in his family and there is no evidence that either parents had syphillis. As for Helen Keller, she wasn't even born deaf and blind, she contracted an illness at the age of 1 that left her that way.
The Bethoven example relies on the illnesses of other siblings (in the tale, most siblings have non-genetic conditions so the whole fable is stupid anyway, even if it were true) to determine the deafness of Bethoven. You wouldn't diagnose an unborn child through its siblings, that's not common practice. Again, there isn't even a need for me to say thi because, perusing Nethoven's wikipedia page, I've just discovered that he too lost his hearing later in life due to some illness he contracted.
Lucas knows that the question of abortion would have affected him personally, yet in spite of that he chose to look at the issue rationally, rather than to succumb to the fallacious 'you've killed Bethoven' non-starter. Surely if anything in our history changed then we would not be born. Should we see the first world war as essentially a good thing because without it we wouldn't be born? I don't think so.
Martim Cutum
Jun 11 2011: Helen, interesting point about the person who was the product of rape and accepted it normally. However, there are inumerous cases in which the mom and/or the child don't have that acceptance, and end up having a series of different problems in their lives. I'm not saying that all raped women should abort, but that the woman should have the option. If she has no familiar or psychological structure and considers that she couldn't raise a child that reminded her of a traumatic experience, just to mention an usual situation, the option had to exist.Jun 11 2011: Lucas, i will tell you that i am still young to really judge if i can take care a baby right now but i am confident that when i become a father i would consider adoption if my spouse agrees with it
- +1
Jun 11 2011: I would adopt.
Avoiding diapers is not a bad deal.Jun 22 2011: In favour. But this should be accompanied with a sensible sex education scheme (not abstinence only) so that abortions really do become a last resort. They're not 100% accident prone.
The amount of abortions that are carried out in countries that allow it remain inconsequential compared to the natural abortions the female body sometimes triggers. Indeed, not every egg fertilization leads to a successful pregnancy.
Now of course, an arbotion has to be performed under a time-limit, after which a foetus is properly a living thing.Jun 13 2011: This is a very touchy topic indeed, but one that should be discussed openly, with respect, and civility.
Abortion puts into question the very definition of what it means to be a human.
I believe a lot of this debate goes back to your point of reference for human value. If you believe that abortion is acceptable, you also must believe that there is a point in which value is given to a developing life, and conversely that there is a point in which that life has no value and is disposable.
Comment deleted
Jun 11 2011: Thank you for sharing.
People will have them legal or not is an interesting point, I feel maybe more talk should be dedicated to that.Jun 11 2011: Considering that there is no consensus in the society or in the cientifical community about the beginning of life - regardin when it happens-, I believe that if the woman considers that abortion is the best choice, she should be allowed to do it. Abortion is a quite traumatic experience for any woman, whether it is made in a safe clinic or not. I wouldn't reccomend it, but if the woman chooses to do so, it is not within our right to stop her.Jun 11 2011: For everyone supporting abortion, where do you draw the line?
1st trimester, second, third?Jun 11 2011: Touche topic!
I'm in favor. Timothy covers a lot of my points.
Personal choices that affect/effect only self in general should never be illegal.
Jun 13 2011: "Personal choices in general should never be illegal."? Everything that is illegal is a personal choice.
Jun 13 2011: Edited***
But no, not everything illegal is a personal choice.
Jun 13 2011: I can't think of anything offhand that is illegal, and is not a choice, at least not in modern culture, but regardless, that is not the important matter here.
The problem lies with the thinking that abortion does not affect anyone. The people that are the product of rape, and are alive today show that abortion does affect others.Jun 13 2011: It's the law to pay x sales tax on a product. You have no say in this, this is not a personal freedom law.
All I am saying is abortion is a choice, and personal choices should be free, period.

Tuesday, September 23, 2003Boone, N.C. (Sept. 23, 2003) -- ETSU got off to a strong start, but couldn't sustain the positive momentum as Appalachian State went on to a 26-30, 30-17, 30-25, 30-18 victory over the visiting Buccaneers Tuesday night at the Holmes Center. It appeared the Appalachian was in for a long evening when it came out of the gates by committing as many errors as it had kills (10) in the opening game. ETSU (2-12, 0-2 SoCon)capitalized on the early ASU mistakes and outhit the Mountaineers .135 to .000 to claim the game one win. However, ASU shook off the game-one setback and answered with a strong performance in the 30-17 game-two victory. 19 of Appalachianąs 30 points in the game came on kills, while the Mountaineers committed just three errors. Appalachian (3-10, 1-0) continued to hit at a torrid clip in games three and four to seal its first victory in seven matches. Led by a match-high 18 kills from junior Samantha Giudici, the Mountaineers posted a .383 hitting percentage (50-12-99) over the final three games to turn the match around. "It is very difficult to win when we make so many errors," said ETSU head Lindsey Devine. "We just couldn't get into a rhythm, and it seemed like we were always trying to come from behind." Senior Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.) posted a season-high 16 kills, while freshman Kelsey Sherich (Ogallala, Neb.) followed with 15 kills. Sherich tallied a team season-high 40 attack attempts in the contest for a .300 hitting percentage. Defensively, the Buccaneers recorded a season-high eight blocks on the evening, which equaled their opponent. ETSU will have exactly one week to prepare for its next match. The Bucs will play at Western Carolina on Tuesday, Sept. 30. The showdown against the Catamounts is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Retaking the Senate should be, if not easy, then at least straightforward for Republicans. They need to recruit attractive candidates to run for seats in seven red states held by Democrats—not to mention an open seat in purple Iowa—and make sure the eventual nominees are viable and well funded. Because of the red hue of 2014's battlegrounds, the party should be able to exploit issues on the national agenda, such as gun control and immigration reform, that stir up culturally conservative voters. The math to achieve the six-seat gain necessary for Senate control (assuming Democrats win the upcoming Massachusetts special election) is hard for the GOP, but its candidates should at least have a fighting chance to solve the equation.
If only it were that simple. To their dismay, Senate Republicans are discovering that their chances of retaking the chamber might rest as much with their House GOP brethren as with their own efforts. Increasingly, it's the lower chamber that defines the Republican Party brand—particularly during high-stakes fights like the fiscal-cliff and sequester standoffs in which House Republicans play a central role.
This prominence is problematic because the House GOP doesn't live in the same political universe as the rest of the party; the congressional map, thanks to redistricting and the tendency of Democratic voters to live in tightly packed cities, leans to the right. GOP nominee Mitt Romney, despite drawing millions of fewer votes than President Obama, won 227 of 435 congressional districts, a solid majority. That gives House Republicans room to drive right on their agenda without fear of losing their majority, which is considered safe for 2014.
The fallout, however, can harm GOP candidates—especially Senate Republicans—who don't run on the same tilted playing field. "If we did a content analysis [of media coverage], there's no doubt they define the Republican Party," said Stan Greenberg, a Democratic pollster, referring to House Republicans. "It's where the most conservative posture is taken, which is the most out of line with the country."
This problem was brought to a head during the House's budget clashes with Senate Democrats and President Obama. Each fight—including the fiscal-cliff squabble to close the most recent congressional session—seems to ding the party's popularity, and the current back-and-forth over the 10-year, $1.2 trillion sequester is no different. A February poll by The Wall Street Journal and NBC News found that just 29 percent of adults held a favorable view of the GOP—far less than the 49 percent who rated Obama favorably.
At a time when the GOP should be rebuilding its image after last November's setback, the party is actually losing popularity. In October 2012, the NBC/WSJ survey found that 36 percent of adults viewed the party favorably, 7 points higher than its standing now. House Republicans aren't solely responsible for the image problems—Romney's gaffe-prone candidacy, an at-times abrasive conservative media, and other Republicans all share the blame. (As one GOP pollster told National Journal, the electoral drubbing was a "team effort.")
But House Republicans are largely to blame for locking the party into the same debate that proved so harmful during the 2012 elections: arguing for a cuts-only agenda, as they advocate once again for the sequester, while Obama pushes for a more popular mix of reductions and tax increases on the wealthy. On issues such as immigration or gun control, the prospects for which are murky at best in the House, GOP members could similarly buck legislation that is broadly popular with the public.
To say nothing of a possible House decision to reconsider legislation, as it has done with Rep. Paul Ryan's eponymous budget, that alters an entitlement program such as Medicare. Already, 62 percent of adults think the Republican Party is out of touch with the American people, a mid-February survey from the Pew Research Center found. In the same survey, 52 percent said the party was too extreme. "The House Republicans are being perceived right now as ideological naysayers," said Jefrey Pollock, a Democratic strategist who works with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. "I think this is clearly hurtful when you're trying to run for Senate."
Of course, the actions of House Republicans won't determine the outcome of every Senate race. Senate GOP candidates will still get to pick their agenda, offering a chance for moderation. And the Senate candidates can still argue that Washington's dysfunction should be blamed on Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Democrats, not on House Republicans. After all, it was Senate Republicans, led by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who spearheaded a last-minute fiscal-cliff deal to raise revenue. They might be a minority, but they're not ineffectual, said John Feehery, a longtime GOP hand on Capitol Hill. "At a moment of maximum impact, they swoop in and strike a deal that catches House Republicans off balance," he said. Senate Republicans are similarly working out compromises on immigration and universal background checks for gun purchases.
Senate Republicans will also benefit from an electoral map that, while perhaps not as tilted to the right as the House's, is favorable. An open-seat race in West Virginia, combined with elections in Alaska, Arkansas, South Dakota, and other red states, means the House GOP agenda might not be a killer. "I'm not 100 percent convinced there's quite the same disconnect this election cycle between Senate Republicans' political opportunities and the House Republican points of view," said GOP consultant Glen Bolger.
Maybe. But it would be nice for Senate Republicans if they won because of their House brethren, not in spite of them.

They'll be forever linked by history. But a plan to move a prominent sculpture has sparked a debate about whether Anthony Wayne, Little Turtle, Tecumseh and the original fort should be reunited by art.
Last Saturday's column about Mayor Tom Henry's proposal to relocate George Ganiere's 1918 statue of Fort Wayne's namesake from tree-shrouded Freimann Square to a more visible spot near the Allen County Courthouse prompted several readers to suggest that the three bronze sculptures that were part of the original massive and engraved base should be restored to their rightful place when Wayne and his horse relocate to the Courthouse Green next year.
"This is something we will certainly explore," city spokesman John Perlich said.
And when they do, city officials will no doubt discover what I did: Things are not always as obvious, simple or logical as they seem.
Not even Parks Department Director Al Moll knows why the city chose not to reuse Ganiere's portraits of the two Native American leaders and the original Fort Wayne when the statue was moved from its original location in Hayden (now Nuchols) Park to the then-new Freimann Square in 1973. But Craig Leonard, an architect who specializes in historic preservation, suspects city officials replaced the huge original base for a smaller nondescript model because "they wanted something that looked 'of the period' . . . this was before 1976, when (America's) bicentennial really launched the modern preservationist movement."
In fact, the plaques of Miami war chief Little Turtle, Shawnee leader Tecumseh and the fort might not have been preserved at all if not for Tim Doyle, a New Haven sculptor who rescued the three pieces and stashed them in his basement.
And that's where Julie Waterfield enters the story.
The Fort Wayne resident had commissioned Doyle for a project and was "horrified" to learn that he was considering selling the pieces to an out-of-town buyer. "I was very keen on Ganiere," explained Waterfield, who quickly bought the sculptures to make sure these pieces of local history remained local. In 2008 she donated them to the Allen County Public Library, and they have been prominently displayed in the lobby of the main library's genealogical department ever since.
But should they remain there? Or would history and Ganiere's artistic vision be better-served by reuniting Wayne with the fort he founded and the Native American leaders he helped vanquish?
To Leonard, the answer is obvious: Restore the statue to its original condition, possibly commissioning Doyle to recreate the base in which Wayne's name had been inscribed. He would also put the statue in the center of Courthouse Green, not in the corner near Main and Clinton streets where it would stick out "like a root beer stand."
To Waterfield and library officials, however, the question is far more complicated – and even personal.
"I'm not saying 'no' (to putting the plaques back on the base), but sometimes when you make a mistake you have to live with it," Waterfield said, referring to the city's decision to give up the three sculptures decades ago.
"Those pieces are made to be touched, and that happens where they are," she added, noting that Tecumseh's nose keeps a perpetual shine because of constant rubbing. "They have a lot to do with history at the library."
They do, indeed. The library's genealogy department is second in the U.S. only to the Mormon collection in Utah and attracts as many as 100,000 visitors per year. "They're stunning pieces and, at eye level, they get a lot of exposure where they are," spokeswoman Cheryl Ferverda said.
Henry, on the other hand, has said that as many as 40,000 vehicles per day pass the intersection at which he wants to display the statue.
Ferverda said that the library will consider Waterfield's wishes, as it should. And since Waterfield describes herself as a "wannabe genealogist" and donated the pieces in honor of grandparents Basil and Inez Needham -- "they taught me to love history" -- a reunion of statue and base plaques seems unlikely.
Fortunately, a compromise is not only possible but potentially historically appropriate.
It would be relatively simple, after all, to use the sculptures on the library wall as patterns from which to create exact replicas that could in turn be attached to a grander base more befitting the man who gave this city its name.
And who better to do it than Doyle, who has already helped restore parts of the Courthouse and without whom no artistic reunion would have been possible in the first place?

UNCG edges ETSU 2-1 in softball series final
Saturday, April 10, 2004GREENSBORO, N.C. (April 10, 2004) - Freshman Kara Clouser's two-run double in the bottom of the sixth inning propelled the UNCG Greensboro softball team to a 2-1 victory and three-game series sweep over ETSU Saturday at Campus Field. Both teams struggled to mount any offense in the early stages of the contest, as UNCG's Vanessa Oakes and ETSU's Belinda Berrera (Fayetteville, N.C.) locked into a pitcher's dual. The Lady Bucs were the first team to break through offensively, as Tiffany McVay (Soddy-Daisy, Tenn.) connected on a solo home run to right field in the second inning. ETSU (21-23, 3-6 SoCon) held the 1-0 advantage until the sixth inning. In the sixth, the Spartans posted two runs on three hits to take their first lead of the day. Adriane Audley opened the inning with a single to right center. Audley then advanced to second on a passed ball before moving to third on a ground out by Danielle Byrne. With the tying run on third, Vanessa Massie singled over the pitcher's head, but Audley was unable to score from third. Clouser then doubled home both Audley and Massie with a clutch one out base hit which found the left field gap. The one-run lead would prove to be enough for Oakes as she retired the Lady Bucs in order in the top of the seventh to seal the win. Oakes tossed a complete game six-hitter for her team leading 10th victory on the season, allowing just one earned run, while striking out two. Offensively, Vanessa Massie went 2-for-3 at the plate the pace the Spartan attack, while Clouser was 1-for-3 with two runs batted in. At the top of the order, Jennifer Hubbard and Joni Gomez served as the team's catalyst, combing to go 2-for-2 with three walks. Janine Sprague (Hillsborough, N.C.) went 3-for-3 to lead ETSU offensively, while Barrera was saddled with the loss despite giving up just two earned runs in 6.0 innings of work, striking out seven. ETSU will return to action on April 15 at home versus Tennessee Tech. UNCG will return to action on Wednesday, April 14, with a doubleheader against ACC foe North Carolina.

One of the ongoing leitmotifs of Washington is the White House press corps feeling manipulated and shut out. I mean those reporters who cover the White House as a full-time assignment as opposed to say, TV network anchors or national political reporters, who may swoop into the West Wing for an occasional story. For what's considered one of the plum posts in journalism, it's remarkable how often the White House reporters are in a state of dyspepsia.
This weekend those tensions went public when the press corps learned of the president's golf outing with Tiger Woods through a tweet by a Golf Digest writer who had access to the clubhouse at the Florida course where the president was playing. The White House press office seems to have circumvented the "pool" system whereby members of the White House press corps travel with the president to events and is kept informed of his whereabouts. The head of the White House Correspondents Association, Ed Henry, told Politico Monday night: "This is a fight for more access, period.... I've heard all kinds of critics saying the White House press corps is whining about a golf game and violating the president's privacy. Nothing could be further from the truth."
"We're not interested in violating the president's privacy. He's entitled to vacations like everyone else. All we're asking for is a brief exception, quick access, a quick photo-op on the 18th green," Henry continued. "It's not about golf — it's about transparency and access in a broader sense."
For its part, Politico ran a lengthy article, by Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei, dubbing Obama a "puppet master" for his manipulation of the press. The two cited a slew of modern techniques that manipulated the press corps, such as denying interviews to top-tier newspapers such as The New York Times and producing massive amounts of content — photos, stories, and so on — that budget-strapped outlets might pick up and which would present the president in a positive light. "President Barack Obama is a master at limiting, shaping, and manipulating media coverage of himself and his White House," they declared. Is this an affront to the First Amendment, or whining? I lean toward the latter.
I come at this from a couple of perspectives. I was a member of the White House press corps for U.S. News & World Report and The New Republic in the '90s. I covered the George W. Bush White House for Time and was the managing editor for White House coverage when I first came to National Journal in 2010. For what it's worth, I worked with Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, at Time for almost seven years. He and I switched jobs in 2003. I covered the White House with the indefatigable Mike Allen. I have huge respect for the White House press corps. It's a tough and important job and the folks who do it are smart and dedicated.
That said, it's worth keeping some things in mind.
Each White House is less open than the one before. When I started covering the White House in 1993, the press corps was furious that physical access to the "lower press office," where junior and mid-level press aides sit, had been restricted. (It was later opened up.) There were elegiac memories of Marlin Fitzwater, President George H.W. Bush's press secretary, who reporters considered to have been more open in comparison with the Clinton crowd, who were said to neither understand nor respect the press corps. When I covered the George W. Bush White House for a couple of years, the press corps nursed fond memories of Clinton's press secretary, Mike McCurry, and complaints about Ari Fleischer were commonplace. It's probably worth remembering that the Kennedy administration, sometimes cited as a golden age of press access, wasn't all that open. Would today's press corps want to find itself serving as an intermediary between governments, as John Scali of ABC News was during the Cuban missile crisis?
Each administration takes greater liberties to spin the news than the one before, which is utterly unsurprising. State and local governments do the same. So do corporations.
The real question is what's lost in the process. Some, but not much, I'd say. The loss of scripted sessions such as "read outs" — behind-the-scenes accounts of presidential meetings as described by White House aides — is a loss, but not one that would have deterred a Bob Woodward or Ryan Lizza from richly reported accounts of the White House. (Granted they're not in the sealed world of the White House press corps, but the point still stands.)

If you are having a cardiac catheterization to check the right side of your heart, the catheter is inserted into a vein in your neck or groin. If the test will check the left side of your heart or your coronary arteries, the catheter is inserted into an artery in your groin or arm.

The test takes about 30 minutes. But you need time to get ready for it and time to recover. It can take up to 6 hours total. The
length of the test is not an indication of the seriousness of your condition.
The catheter will be removed from
the insertion site. To prevent bleeding, the site may need to be closed using
pressure, stitches, or a special seal. For example, if the catheter was
inserted in your wrist or groin, firm pressure will be applied to the area for
about 10 minutes to stop the bleeding. Then a pressure dressing will be placed
over the area. If the catheter was inserted in your elbow, a few stitches will
be used to close the wound.
After the test, you will be taken to an observation room, and a health
professional will periodically monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and
temperature and check for signs of bleeding at the insertion site. The pulse,
color, and temperature of the arm or leg in which the catheter was inserted
will also be checked periodically. You may be given medicine to relieve pain.
If the catheter was inserted in
your groin, you may have to lie in bed with your leg extended for several hours
(such as 1 to 4 hours), depending on the exact procedure used and your medical
condition. After that, you can move about freely.
If the catheter was inserted in your arm, you may be able to sit up and get out of bed right away. But you will need to keep your arm still for at least 1 hour.
A child who has had cardiac
catheterization may need to be held by a parent for several hours after the
test to prevent the child from moving his or her leg.
You should
drink plenty of liquids for several hours after the test. This will prevent

of your body.
Depending on the results of the test, you may be
sent home either after a short observation period (such as 6 hours) or on the
next day. If any stitches were placed in your arm, they may be removed in 5 to
7 days. Do not do strenuous exercise and do not lift anything heavy until your doctor says it is okay. This may be for a day or two.
If you are breast-feeding and had an angiogram in which dye was injected into your body, do not breast-feed your baby for 2 days after this test. During this time, you can give your baby breast milk you stored before the test, or you can give formula. Discard the breast milk you pump for 2 days after the test.
You will feel a sharp sting when the
local anesthetic is injected to numb your skin over the catheter insertion

Congratulations to Dr. Ralph Holloway on being elected to the National Academy of Sciences!
Franz Boas founded Columbia University's Department of Anthropology on the eve of the 20th Century, making it the first PhD Program in the United States. Originally founded on the concept of the "four field approach" to the study of human culture and society, the department now focuses its undergraduate and graduate programs on Sociocultural Anthropology and Archaeology. However, the Department continues the Boasian tradition of extended ethnographic research, critical theoretical approaches to contemporary global problems, and language sensitive and historically informed analysis. Faculty research interests span the range of the domains most critical to contempory anthropology, including continental philosophy, law, political anthropology, semiotics and post- semiotics, ecology and ecocriticsm, science and technology studies, critical native studies, aesthetics, affect theory, media (including film, photography, and sound recording), and new media.

Volleyball holds annual Media Day
Thursday, August 28, 2003Johnson City, Tenn. (August 27, 2003) - Members of the local media were on hand to visit with the East Tennessee State volleyball team during its annual media day Wednesday, as the Buccaneers were in Brooks Gym practicing for the start of the 2003 season. ETSU will open play this weekend at the Virginia Tech Hokie Classic, where the Bucs will face Campbell on Friday, Aug. 29. Besides also seeing host Virginia Tech and Miami (Ohio) this weekend in Blacksburg, Va., the Buccaneers have a demanding non-conference schedule that includes such opponents as Indiana State, Valparaiso, Michigan, and Tennessee. "The beginning of the season will be a good introduction for our freshmen to see what playing Division I volleyball is all about and what kind of competition is out there," said first-year head coach Lindsey Devine. "We will be a better team when we walk off the court this weekend." Devine, who has just three upperclassmen returning to the squad, including seniors Lissa Allen (Palm Bay, Fla.) and Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.), will also have the task of molding the raw talent of a large recruiting class that consists of six freshmen. "We have a young team, but we all have a lot to prove this year," said Allen, who thinks this year's group will rebound from a 2002 campaign that saw the Bucs finish with an 8-23 record overall and just 6-14 in the Southern Conference. "I think we have a great group," added Devine. "They have already established themselves as a very disciplined team. We have a �no excuses' attitude and regardless of what happens we will be proud to represent ETSU on and off the court. Specifically, the Buccaneers will also take pride in their team defense, which Devine sees a definite strength this season. With Allen's presence in the middle, the defensive prowess of junior Karen Freeburg (Newcastle, Ind.), and the addition of some key contributors, ETSU is counting on surprising some people when the bullets start flying in a matter of a couple of days. "We have a great defense, and I think that is the key in the SoCon," said Steidle. "We have returning players that know what's going on and can help the younger players out." Coach Devine would not speculate as to where she thinks her team will be in the Southern Conference Preseason Coaches Poll, which is scheduled to be released by the league office on Thursday. However, she is looking forward to bringing back a certain level of dignity and respect to a team that is coming off its worst season in terms of wins and losses in 20 years. "This team will be successful both on and off the court and will dig deep when faced with challenges," Devine said. "We are going to be optimistic and put forth our best effort, and at the same time remember there is an element of fun to all of this." Live stats for this weekend's 2003 Hokie Classic will be available on the Internet by logging on to: http://www.hokiesports.com/volleyball/live/. ETSU's match will Campbell will begin at 5 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 29.

Clinical Research
Contact Information
Clinical Research Unit
111 T.W. Alexander Drive
Phone: (919) 541-9899
The NIEHS supports and conducts studies to determine how exposure to chemicals or other agents in the environment may influence a variety of diseases.
NIEHS Studies - Open for Recruitment
Innate Immunity Signal Transduction. The Innate Immunity Signal Transduction in Human Leukocytes is a research study to determine the response of immune cells from the bloodstream. Blood cells will be taken from a routine blood specimen at the NIEHS Clinical Research Unit in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Qualified participants that donate up to 320 ml of blood, approximately 1 ½ cups, will receive $40 per donation. Each participant may donate up to every 8 weeks. For additional information on the study, please visit the Innate Immunity Signal Transduction Study. To volunteer or learn more, contact Nicole Edwards at 919-541-9899.
Sample Collection Registry. The Sample Collection Registry for Quality Control of Biological and Environmental Specimens and Assay Development is a registry to obtain biologic and environmental samples for use in laboratory assay evaluation. The samples will be used for quality control purposes and to determine if new tests are sufficiently valid and precise for use in research studies. Qualified participants will receive $35 for their blood samples. For additional information on the registry and other samples being collected, please visit the Sample Collection Registry. To volunteer or learn more, contact Nicole Edwards at 919-541-9899.
- BPA Biomonitoring Study in Cashiers
Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical widely used to make some plastics and food can liners, has also been identified in cashier tape. This study will evaluate whether cashiers have higher levels of BPA in their blood or urine after a work shift.
DNA Registry for Diseases. The Environmental Polymorphisms Registry (EPR) is a long-term research project to collect DNA samples from up to 20,000 individuals in the greater North Carolina Triangle Region. These samples will be used to examine an individual's susceptibility to common conditions such as asthma, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and other illnesses. These conditions require both a genetic predisposition and environmental triggers for development. Participants who provide contact information, a small blood sample and answer several questions about age, race and ethnicity will receive $20. For more information, contact Beverly A. Warden, PMP, Ph.D., MPH, at 1-800-860-3804.
Autoimmune Diseases. The NIEHS is recruiting adults and children to participate in two studies to understand the role that genes and environmental risk factors play in the development of systemic autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis/juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma or myositis. Participants may enroll at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, the Clinical Research Unit in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina or their local doctor's office. For more information see the announcements and websites below and to determine if you are eligible for this study, please contact the NIH patient information office at 1-800-411-1222 (TTY: 1-866-411-1010).
- The Twin-Sibs Study (PI: Frederick Miller, M.D., Ph.D.)
The goal of this study is to examine the genetic and environmental risk factors in the development of autoimmune diseases in twins and same-sex siblings, when one has an autoimmune disease and the other does not. Adults and children may enroll by completing questionnaires and donating blood and urine samples.
For more information, please see the Twin-Sibs Study Web page.
- The MYORISK Study (PI: Frederick Miller, M.D., Ph.D.)
This study intends to investigate the genetic and environmental risk factors involved in the development of myositis, an autoimmune muscle disease that causes chronic muscle weakness. Adults and children diagnosed with myositis within the last year may enroll by completing questionnaires and donating blood and urine samples.
For more information, please see the MYORISK Study Web page.
The Role of TGF-beta1 in Respiratory Virus-Induced Asthma Exacerbations (PI: Stavros Garantziotis, M.D.)
Asthma patients seem to be more prone to viral infections, and NIEHS scientists believe that the cells that line these patients' airways, cause this result by overproducing TGF-beta1, a protein that promotes viral growth. This study seeks participants with and without asthma to contribute airway cell samples.
The Role of Glucocorticoid Receptor SNPs in Receptor Function and Metabolic Disease (PIs: Stavros Garantziotis, M.D., and John Cidlowski, Ph.D.)
NIEHS researchers theorize that changes in the surface proteins of cells called receptors may predispose people to diseases, such as heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes. This study needs volunteers to undergo tests to determine how these changes or variants lead to illness.
Role of p53 Genetic Variants in Inflammation and Carcinogenesis (PI: Michael Resnick, Ph.D.)
The gene p53 suppresses cancer and inflammation in the body, and NIEHS investigators speculate that changes in p53 lead to changes in inflammation and the ability to repair DNA damage. This study wants blood samples from participants to find out how the changes in p53 lead to these conditions.
NIEHS Studies - Closed for Recruitment
Breast Cancer Research. The NIEHS-led Sister Study is a nationwide study of sisters of women who have had breast cancer. The purpose of the Sister Study is to learn how the environment and genes may interact to affect the chances of getting breast cancer. The Sister Study completed enrollment in March 2009. To learn more about the study, visit The Sister Study or el Estudio de Hermanas .
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Twin Sisters. The NIEHS is studying polycystic ovary syndrome in twins to find out if it is caused by genetics, environmental triggers or a combination of both. The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Twin Sisters study has completed enrollment.
Dust mite Reduction Study. The Dust Mite Reduction Study helps children with dust mite allergies or sensitivities by teaching them how to reduce dust mites in their homes. The study has completed enrollment, but to learn more about the project, contact Michelle Sever at 919-541-2999.
