By the time February came to a close, Janet Hu had already accomplished a lot in 2012. Oakton�s star swimmer was fresh off outstanding performances at the Northern Region and Virginia Group AAA meets, where the Cougars captured their first-ever region and state swim titles. In addition to posting five automatic All-American swim times, she set new school records in the 100-yard freestyle, 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly. She was also part of the groups that set school records in the 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay.
Yet that was only the beginning of a standout year that made Janet Hu a household name in local swimming circles.
The Oakton junior went on to qualify for the Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb., where she competed against the best swimmers in the country in eight events. She then returned home to swim in summer league for her local pool, Mosby Woods, adding to her laundry list of Northern Virginia Swim League feats with new league records in the 50-meter freestyle and 50-meter backstroke.
Hu capped her year in November with new National 15-16 Age Group records in the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly at Winter Nationals in Austin, Tex.
With her junior season at Oakton off to an undefeated start, Hu took a few moments to reflect back on a year she won�t soon forget.
Q: This year was filled with plenty of memories for you — going to Omaha to compete in the Olympic Trials, winning your school's first region and state titles, setting new records seemingly at every turn. Which memory was your favorite?
A: If I had to choose one it would have to be being a part of Oakton�s first state title in girls swimming. I feel like high school swimming is a lot more exciting because it�s more team oriented. I remember the moment when they announced that Oakton had won and we all ran and jumped in the pool. It was definitely one of the most exciting moments of my year.
Q: Competing against so many talented swimmers under the bright lights in Omaha must have been eye-opening. Tell us about that experience.
A: It was very intimidating and a huge learning experience. I didn�t do as well as I hoped but I still had a great time. The best part was watching Katie Ledecky make the Olympic Team.
Q: What was it like watching your Olympic Trials roommate and NCAP teammate, Katie Ledecky, win gold in London? How exciting was that for you?
A: It was incredible. Before she swam I thought she�s definitely going to medal, but seeing her win gold was just incredible. Right after watching her race I started texting all my friends. We were all just amazed.
Q: You went back and forth all year long between big national meets and more low-key local meets, but your effort never seemed to waver. Is it difficult to stay motivated going from an event like the Olympic Trials to a summer swim meet for your local pool?
A: After Trials I was actually really looking forward to going to a summer swim meet where it was more laid back. But I always try to have a goal going into a meet, whether it�s to get a best time or to break a record.
Q: New records seem to come to you no matter what event you're swimming. Do you have a favorite stroke?
A: Either back or fly, it switches off. It usually depends on which feels better.
Q: What's the record you're most proud of setting this year?
A: At Winter Nationals this year, I set the National Age Group Record in the 50 Free for 15-16 year olds. I think I�m most proud of that one because I wasn�t expecting it and it was really exciting to find out I broke it.
Q: In a way this question doesn't seem to even apply to you, but what improvements do you think you need to make going into next year?
A: I definitely need to work on my breaststroke if I want to improve in my IM.
Q: What's the difference between you as a swimmer today versus where you were a year ago?
A: After trials, I think I've become stronger mentally. I'm more prepared on what to expect going to bigger meets. We also started a new dry land training program this year, so I'm more physically prepared as well.
Q: Has the college search process swung into high gear for you yet? Which schools are you considering?
A: It has started a little bit, but it won�t swing into high gear until after July 1. I�ve just been emailing some schools and filling out questionnaires. I would like to go somewhere in California, but there are so many great schools outside of California, I�m not sure yet.

The house at the corner of 16th Avenue South and Tremont Street has served Mary Hilliard Harrington well for six years. From that post in the Music Row neighborhood, she has watched as her company, The Green Room PR, a music industry-focused public relations firm, has tripled in size and come to count Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean and Dierks Bentley as clients.
But the little house has become restrictive as The Green Room has grown. So Harrington is trading in the quaint office space next month for a contrasting view of exposed brick, high ceilings and an open floor plan.
The move means giving up the firm's address in a neighborhood long favored by the music industry for a mailbox in the emerging SoBro neighborhood. Fifteen years ago, such a decision would have seemed to fly in the face of logic. Today, though, Harrington is on trend. Continue reading

Ward Kimball's 'The Committee' from 1949
Heard from Jim Clark today concerning this painting recently discovered and attributed to Ward Kimball, one of the venerable Nine Old Men from the Golden Age of Disney Animation.
Click on the image for a better view.
Here's what Jim has to say...
Look for a special episode of Antiques Roadshow featuring "The Committee", on PBS from Eugene in early 2012!
I had the opportunity to bring "The Committee" to the Roadshow this summer for review in Eugene, Oregon. Appraiser, Leila Dunbar (best known for sports memorabilia appraisals) immediately recognized the piece as a Kimball. Apparently her father was an expert on Disney and animation history, so Leila took to the piece and put us on the air. The Committee played amazing on the monitor and when it hits the air in 2012 the whole country will learn about Ward Kimball, his contributions and his work.
The Committee, 1949
Ward Kimball 1914-2002
Oil on Masonite
24in. x 42in
I had the great fortune to spend an entire day with Ward at his estate in the summer of 1996. He gave me a private tour or his trains, antique toys and art. Sadly Ward died in 2002 and we lost a great creative innovator, but rest assured Ward lived a big, amazing life full of accomplishment. It's a day I'll never forget!
I came across The Committee at an auction in 2006, when doing research for my own animated series, and I had to own the piece. Fortunately, it seems that nobody else knew of Ward and I won the painting for a modest price. I'll admit, my eyes watered when I received the painting - the color and lines are stunning in person and unavoidable at 42"x24. The piece now hangs in a special place and I'm inspired by it daily
For my birthday a few years back I was given the book "The Nine Old Men" by John Canemaker. I was surprised to discover The Committee featured in Ward's chapter. The painting was misidentified as being painted sometime in the 60's and it's been flipped horizontally. I immediately contacted John and let him know the painting was in-fact painted in 1949 by Ward. I know because it's written in pencil in his hand on the backside of the handmade frame. (John promised to correct the error in the next edition)
When I did a little more research I discovered that Ward won the Academy Award in 1953 for Toot Whistle Plunk & Boom. The film is clearly inspired by the stylization shown in The Committee. The Committee was painted 4 years before the movie was released and at least 2 years before it was produced. Digging further I found that UPA and the entire graphic animation movement emerged soon after Toot Whistle in 1953-54. Could this mean that The Committees is the Rosetta Stone of the modern animation movement? Are the discoveries Ward made in this painting a major turning point in animation history? I quickly realized that I may possess one of the most important pieces of animation history in existence.
Last month I made a proposition to the PBS series "History Detectives", to see if they could prove without a doubt that The Committee is as important as I believe it to be. To my great surprise and delight, I have been contacted and we're looking into it. Hopefully we'll see The Committee on both PBS programs and showcase Ward with the recognition he deserves, for his great contribution to the art form that many of us have made a career of.
Check back soon for an update and show dates...
Long live Ward's legacy and his inspiring art!

Re: Ward Kimball's 'The Committee' from 1949
Can you guess the value of Ward Kimball's "The Committee"?
If you dig animation history, tune into Antiques Roadshow on PBS this month where I'll be featured with my prized Ward Kimball painting from 1948.
They won't tell which of the three Eugene episodes it is... The segments start on the 23rd of January, so please tune in!
Re: Ward Kimball's 'The Committee' from 1949
Looks like Jim Clark made it to TV with his painting of The Committee by Ward Kimball.
The video's not on YouTube yet, but it is on the PBS site.
Follow this link and you'll see the appraisal of the work...

Recipe by SUE416
"This is a very easy and delicious dish my mother used to make. I'm sure it can be used with other fish besides flounder. My mother also used to place American cheese on top before baking, which was very good. Enjoy!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 pounds
flounder fillets
1/2 tablespoon
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
1/2 cup
diced fresh tomato
2 teaspoons
dried basil
1 teaspoon
garlic powder
Trying to find simple and healthy recipes to cook. This was GREAT but I did add a few additions. Added a clove of fresh garlic chopped, a leaf of chopped fresh basil, and added a teaspoon of bread crumbs. I melted the butter and added the tomatoes, garlic, bread crumbs, lemon juice and spices to make a mixture. Then put the mixture on top of the flounder and baked as directed. Thanks for the recipe.
I would give this a higher review, but I think according to the recipe, you are bound to over-cook your flounder. It probably only needs to be in the oven for about 20 mins, tops. The topping was great - I also used fresh basil, tomatoes and garlic, and topped with some fresh grated parmesan, but the fish itself was dry from being over cooked.

We love this recipe - it is sooo easy. However, instead of using fresh tomatoes - I just pour over the fish a 15 1/2 oz. can of diced tomatoes with garlic and onion (undrained). I also sprinkle on some garlic powder. Fast and easy to make. We love to serve it with broccoli.
We loved this, Susan. Instead of plain basil, I used an Italian dried herb mix as this was all I had on hand. I used extra tomato as others have suggested and also topped the fish with 2 tbsp of grated parmesan. The fish was so moist this way. I used a cheap fish from the supermarket and was amazed that the dish still tasted superb. This goes well with baked potatoes and the sauteed garlic asparagus recipe from this site.
This is a very simple but very flavorful recipe!! You can adjust spices to your particular liking. I used diced tomatoes from a can that were already seasoned with basil , oregano and garlic.
This was great!! I made two adjustments based off of what I had on hand, I used 2 cloves fresh garlic diced, and a added a can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh tomato. I really liked this! My husband and son thought it was ok, but I really enjoyed the flavor the seasonings gave to the tomatoes and the fish. I will definitely make this again! We served it with steamed green beans and linguine.
I was looking for an easy flounder recipe and I came across this...more than I bargained for! It was very simple and it was absolutely delicious. I received raves from my husband, too!
I use this same basic recipe with frozen tilapia and sole about once a week, only varying the cooking time depending on how delicate or thin the fish is. I also usually do it in a skillet instead of the oven, so the fish doesn't overcook. Diced vine-ripened tomatoes is much better than canned. And I always add wine, letting it cook down and poach the fish a little after it's cooked in the butter and garlic.

Results tagged "drop classes" from Hawk Talk - Sam
Hey Everyone,
How are you? I hope that you and your families had a great Thanksgiving! (And a GREAT Black-Friday & Cyber-Monday!)
So the other day I almost did something that I've taught almost every freshman and transfer that came through Orientation NOT to do. I almost dropped a class because I wanted to add a different one in the Spring. So I logged onto ISIS and I had all the numbers ready to go and I clicked the "Drop Classes" link. Then I highlighted the right class.. THEN I realized that I was commiting an ISIS no-no (not really, it will let you do it, it just isn't smart). So then I quickly quicked the "Swap Classes" link and entered in the class number I wanted to add next to the one I wanted to switch it with. THIS is a much smarter idea. If you change classes under the "Swap" function, you won't get dropped from your first class until you get into the second. It is always a safer thing to do. What if you dropped one class and your new class was full?! And then someone took your spot in your first class?!? Now you're doomed (well kind of). So basically, on ISIS, you never want to DROP a class if you have intentions of adding another one. Got it?! Don't forget it! It's handy information.
On another note, I delivered all of my Letters of Recommendation packets to people that agreed to write them. I provided them with tons of information (probably too much) including my resume and personal statement draft. I never understood why people asked for so much, but I realized that they need all of that information to write about you in a more well-rounded way. If my supervisor didn't know that I had a 3.59 GPA, she couldn't write how I balance my academics and my job. Same if my professors know that I do well in class, but don't know how much work I do around campus. It helps them fill in the gaps about what they don't know.
I'm also almost done filling out the applications themselves, which means this process is almost done.
On the note, Thank you for reading...
Sam :)

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones
"There's real solace in returning to this tiny island where I have so many relatives, probably 70, in one place. To me, Bermuda is a real family spot," says Michael Douglas. "I said to Catherine, 'We'll be on an island with lots of family and no place to go. Think about that.' She did and immediately signed on." Thus, Douglas and his wife, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, commissioned decorator Stephen Ryan to design their Bermuda refuge. When it came to furnishings, the couple knew what they wanted: ease with dignity. Throughout the process, explains Douglas, "I wouldn't let Catherine see anything, not even a digital photo. We had gone through all this stuff with Stephen, talked about the pieces, the colors—so why look at the production until it's together? The only way to do it was to let the designer get it all done and then to see it when we returned." Fortunately, they were pleased with the finished product. (July 2002)

Goals: Galileo used Earth's gravity to help it build up enough speed to hurl itself toward Jupiter. But the Earth flyby provided a chance to use the spacecraft's instruments to study Earth from a unique perspective.
Accomplishments: The Galileo spacecraft found evidence of life on Earth. Not a surprising discovery, but the use of instruments to detect traces of life in a planet's atmosphere will be useful as future space probes continue to seek evidence of life beyond Earth.
Galileo's cameras captured unique never-before-seen views of Antarctica and also the Earth and Moon together - a glimpse at what someone from another world might see as they approached our little piece of the solar system.

Rated 5 out of 5�by bluedog very warm boot Love these boots They are a good value for the price. Well insolated and easy to remove. I have the cover the calf length and they are exceptionally warm when worn with boot socks. I have a very wide foot and hard to find boots that fit well. These fit well and have very agrresive soles. December 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Laura2014 THE BEST WINTER BOOTS EVER!!!! The Muck Boot Artic Sport Boot is by far the BEST winter boot I have ever owned. I work outside and these boots keep my feet warm & dry all day long. They are very comfortable to wear right from the start. There is no need to break them in. The outsole gives great traction in the snow and I can easily walk over 3 ft. snow drifts with no problem. I have walked through water and snow melt with these and my feet stay warm and dry. I absolutely LOVE these boots and I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great winter boot! January 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by robin100 disappointed I bought a pair of Muck Arctic boots. I work on a horse farm and I am in muck alot. I had the farrier out today and it was 6 degrees with a wind chill of 15 below 0.There was no snow, just dry cold. My toes started getting cold after about 3 hours. I so hoped I had found the perfect boot. They feel good on and they keep me dry. But I was cold and it's hard to work when your feet are cold. I'll wear them. I paid over a hundred dollars for them. I just wish they were as warm as they say they are. Forty below . . .don't think so. January 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by countrygirl great boots! After buying three pairs of boots that didn't keep my feet warm and returning all of them I bought these. Not only did they keep my feet warm in subzero weather but they are the most comfortable pair of footwear I own. I highly recommend them. March 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Den Nice Product Very satisfied with this boot. Walked my 3-1/2 acres of land covered in 12 inches of snow followed by 3 hours of snow removal. Very comfortable, warm and dry. February 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bear65 Feet stay warm and dry I work outside no matter the weather. These are the first boots to feel good on my feet and serve the best warmth and dryness thank goodness I found them January 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by PK Boots that you can't go wrong. I was in the market for Winter boots (I needed to replace my old winter boots). I first went to the Dick's Sporting goods website to look for Winter boots. When I read the tile and reviews for this boots, I was impress with the positive response on how people just like these boots. I can agree that it keeps your feet warm (especially on how deep the snow is), the extra length makes the boots slip in out easily, I like the design of the boots. January 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Joe04 Extremely pleased I was looking for a boot with comfort and warmth ... one that would fit snugly without being tight and would have strong orthotics. The item description promised me insulated orthotic-friendly boots, so I decided to give these Muck Boot Adult Sport Mid Winters a try. I'm happy to say I got all of what I sought. I've now worn the boots on five occasions -- after some pretty nasty, snowy weather -- since they arrived. I like them a lot ... and wish I'd had a pair of them a long time ago. January 24, 2014

Interpretive Handbook
8198 :
C1 Esterase (C1ES) Inhibitor Antigen, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
C1 esterase inhibitor blocks the activation of C1 (first component of the complement cascade) to its active form. The deficiency of C1 esterase inhibitor results in the inappropriate activation of C1 and the subsequent release of an activation peptide from C2 with kinin-like activity. This kinin-like peptide enhances vascular permeability. C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency results in hereditary or acquired angioedema. This disease is an autosomal dominant inherited condition, in which exhaustion of the abnormally low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor results in C1 activation, breakdown of C2 and C4, and subsequent acute edema of subcutaneous tissue, the gastrointestinal tract, or the upper respiratory tract. The disease responds to attenuated androgens.
Because 15% of C1 inhibitor deficiencies have nonfunctional protein, some patients will have abnormal functional results (FC1EQ / C1 Esterase Inhibitor, Functional Assay, Serum) in the presence of normal (or elevated) antigen levels.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of hereditary angioedema
Monitoring levels of C1 esterase inhibitor in response to therapy
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Abnormally low results are consistent with a heterozygous C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency and hereditary angioedema.
Fifteen percent of hereditary angioedema patients have a normal or elevated level but nonfunctional C1 esterase inhibitor protein. Detection of these patients requires a functional measurement of C1 esterase inhibitor; FC1EQ / C1 Esterase Inhibitor, Functional Assay, Serum.
Measurement of C1q antigen levels; C1Q / Complement C1q, Serum, is key to the differential diagnoses of acquired or hereditary angioedema. Those patients with the hereditary form of the disease will have normal levels of C1q, while those with the acquired form of the disease will have low levels.
Studies in children show that adult levels of C1 inhibitor are reached by 6 months of age.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Quantitation of specific proteins by nephelometric means may not be possible in lipemic sera due to the extreme light scattering properties of the specimen. Turbidity and particles in the specimen may result in extraneous light scattering signals, resulting in variable specimen analysis.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
19-37 mg/dL
