More Honors Announced For Big South Men's Golf Programs
More national and regional honors for Big South men's golf programs were recently announced. Vaita Guillaume of Campbell University and Liberty's Robert Karlsson were named PING All-Americans by the Golf Coaches Association of America, while Liberty head coach Jeff Thomas has been named to the Virginia Collegiate Golf Coaches Association (VCGCA) Coach of the Year for the second year in a row.
Guillaume, an honorable mention selection, is the first Campbell men's golfer to earn All-America honors on the Division I level.
"This is the candle on top of the cake," said Campbell head coach John Crooks. "Vaita has had a great career and certainly this past year has been special with five wins, leading the country in par-4 scoring, being named player of the year in the conference and at the University. Being named All-American is the next logical step. I'm proud of Vaita. Like I've told a lot of people, if you only meet one person associated with Campbell, Vaita is a good one to have met because he certainly represents us well."
The Big South Conference Player of the Year and a PING All-Southeast Region choice, Guillaume finished in a 3-way tie for top individual honors May 19 at the NCAA Greensboro Regional at 3-under par 213. He won a play-off on the first hole with Matt Schovee of SMU to earn the NCAA Championship individual berth.
Guillaume was the first Campbell player to advance to the NCAA men's golf championship since the program moved to NCAA Division I status in 1977-78. He is the lone Camel player to play in three NCAA regionals (2009 team berth, individual bids in 2011 and 2012) and one of only five to make a regional appearance.
He finished in a tie for 77th place (75-77-72-224) at the NCAA Championship medal play event held at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
In addition to his triumph at the Greensboro Regional, Guillaume won top individual honors this year at the Georgetown Intercollegiate, Kiawah Classic, Bash at the Beach and the Wofford Coca-Cola Invitational.
He led all Big South Conference players in stroke average and ranked 10th nationally. Guillaume stood second in the country in par-4 scoring average (3.97) and ninth in score vs. par (-0.78). He tied the school 18-hole record (64) in the second round of the Wofford Coca-Cola Invitational. He also shot 64s in the 2010 Mardi Gras Invitational and the 2011 Charleston Shootout.
Guillaume, who was named to the 2012 Big South All-Conference first-team, earned all-league honors in each of his four seasons with the Camels. He was tabbed second-team All-Conference in the Atlantic Sun in his first three years while also earning A-Sun all-freshman team recognition. He is one of three players in Campbell's Division I era (since 1977-78) to gain all-league honors four times, joining Duane Bock (1988-91) and Braxton Wynns (2001-04).
Karlsson was named to the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA)/PING All-America third-team squad, giving the men's golf program its first-ever All-America honoree. Earlier this month, Karlsson was named to the GCAA/PING All-Region East team for the second year in a row and was a Golfweek All-America selection as well.
Karlsson led the Flames to their second straight Big South title and helped Liberty complete the best postseason run in program history.
Late in the 2011-12 season, Liberty won three consecutive tournaments, including the title at the 2012 Big South Men's Golf Championship and a three-stroke victory over Florida at the NCAA Greensboro Regional.
The Flames then took their success to the national level and finished in 10th place at the NCAA Men's Golf National Championship. Liberty fell one shot short of forcing a three-way tie for the eighth and final spot in the match play round of the championship event.
Karlsson captured two individual titles during Liberty's successful late season run, including his second career medalist honor at the Big South Men's Golf Championship. Karlsson led the Flames on the season with a 71.6 stroke average and posted 10 Top 10 finishes in 13 events this past year, including eight Top 5 finishes. Karlsson finished the season ranked No. 28 in the country by Golfweek and No. 35 by Golfstat.
As a team, the Flames finished the 2011-12 campaign ranked No. 28 by Golfweek and No. 21 by Golfstat, the highest season-end rankings in program history.
He recently completed a successful run at the 2012 British Amateur, where he advanced to the quarterfinal round before falling to this year's eventual champion. A total of 288 amateur players entered the event, which was contested at the Royal Troon and Glasgow-Gailes Golf Clubs in Troon, South Ayshire, Scotland.
Following the successful run at the British Amateur, Karlsson now ranks as the No. 23 amateur in the world, as listed in the latest World Amateur Golf Rankings published by the R&A and the USGA.
Karlsson will officially complete his final collegiate-related event this week when he plays for the European team in the 2012 Palmer Cup at The Royal County Down Golf Club in Newcastle, Northern Ireland, through Saturday. This is the second year in a row Karlsson has been a member of the European team for the annual Ryder Cup-style competition between the top collegiate players in the world.
In addition to Thomas's honor, Liberty had three representatives on the VCGCA All-State team. Karlsson and Chase Marinell earned first-team honors, while Niklas Lindstrom took home second-team honors.
Thomas led the Flames to three straight victories late in the season, including a second consecutive Big South Men's Golf Championship title and a three-shot victory over Florida to capture the 2012 NCAA Greensboro Regional title. In its first-ever national championship appearance, the Flames finished 10th at the 2012 NCAA Men's Golf National Championship at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
The 10th place finish was the highest Division I national championship finish by any program in Liberty's history. The Flames finished one shot shy of forcing a three-way playoff for the eighth and final spot in the match play portion of this year's national championship event.
Marinell followed his Big South Freshman of the Year season with five Top 10 finishes during the 2011-12 season, spotlighted by a fifth place finish at the Big South Men's Golf Championship. The sophomore ranked third on the team with a 73.7 stroke average.
Lindstrom doubled his total number of rounds played from his freshman season and posted three Top 5 finishes and his first collegiate individual title. He finished second on the team with a 73.2 stroke average, a figure that was 2.7 strokes per round lower than his freshman average.

German Beer Institute
The German Beer Portal for North America
I did not know that Dortmund in the state of North-Rine Westphalia is actually the largest producer, however, Bavara still produces the most per state.
It states: "There are about 1,250 breweries in Germany, almost four times as many as in all other countries of the European Union combined."
Obviously, we but a tiny fraction of the German beer as export.
"Until the 16th century all German beer was ale. Until about the eighth century, it was brewed almost exclusively in the home, by tribal hausfraus. By the 11th century it was brewed mostly by professional brewmonks and brewnuns, until feudal lords took over most institutional brewing in southern Germany, while burgher-merchants did the same in northern Germany.
Germans have been brewing ales for at least three thousand years, but lagers (specifically: brown lagers) for only five centuries. The blond, crisp, clean lagers, for which Germans have become so famous in our age, have been around for a scant 150 years. The now ubiquitous hoppy Pils started its conquest only about 30 years ago."
http://www.germanbeerinstitute.com/styles.html - Beer styles....yummy
From Tacitus (Roman historian)
The Fenni (a German tribe) are astonishingly wild and horribly poor. They have no arms, no horses, no homes. They eat grass, dress in skins, and sleep on the ground. Their only hope is in their arrows, which, for lack of iron, they tip with bone. The same hunt provides food for men and women alike; for the women go everywhere with the men and claim a share in securing the prey. The only way they can protect their babies against wild beasts or foul weather is to hide them under a makeshift network of branches. This is the hovel to which the young men come back, this is where the old must lie. Yet they count their lot happier than that of others who groan over field labour, sweat over house-building, or hazard their own or other men's fortunes in the wild lottery of hope and fear. They care for nobody, man or god, and have gained the ultimate release: they have nothing to pray for. What comes after them is the stuff of fables—Hellusii and Oxiones with the faces and features of men, but the bodies and limbs of animals. On such unverifiable stories I will express no opinion.
> If they made a crude ale / mead they were probably truly happy! Talk about being "back to nature".

I have a penchant for the yuppie coffee shop that's eight blocks from my apartment, enough to spend thirteen minutes walking there and back on many weekday mornings. (They draw leaves in cappucino foam which make me feel fancy, like Gwyneth Paltrow caffeinating—that is, if she drank anything other than green tea.)
I can afford to slice off that chunk of my morning because I'm a uniform dresser: blazer, top, slim pants, brogues or heels, done. But even if I weren't, I could still get out the door enviously fast thanks to these time-skimming strategies. I use them when I've worn my uniform staples too much, feel like I'm starting from wardrobe scratch and (more importantly) should've been out the door seven minutes ago. You can use them too, and if you show up to work late, it'll be because of your commute or your coffee, not because of the time spent in your closet.

Women in Science
I was surprised that the design of math and science curricula was not addressed in the article "Sex, Math and Scientific Achievement," by Diane F. Halpern, Camilla P. Benbow, David C. Geary, Ruben C. Gur, Janet Shibley Hyde and Morton Ann Gernsbacher. Traditionally, instruction in these fields has almost exclusively used a method of thought and communication that appeals more strongly to males than females.
Your article raised the issue of differing visuospatial skills between genders. It may not be the case that male minds more easily grasp the information being disseminated; it is possible that how this information is presented can make a difference in skill sets. Males have dominated the fields of science and math for centuries, and the manner in which they have undertaken research, compiled educational texts and designed curricula has affected how children are taught this information and, therefore, how they respond to it.
Rachel Lindley

"Sex, Math and Scientific Achievement" was very disappointing in an otherwise enjoyable publication. Your highly unscientific opinion that social psychologists have decided that "the overt sexism that existed decades ago in the U.S. and in many other countries is now rare" is simply laughable. Stating this puts the phenomenon of lower female participation in the sciences squarely on women's shoulders.
I realize that objectivity is important when reporting scientific data. Nevertheless, in playing it safe with this article, the authors provide readers with little (if any) enlightenment on the topic. And in this regard, they are no better than profoundly misogynist, ignorant and biased individuals such as Larry Summers.

Having read more than a few articles by various researchers on the topic of the gender gap in science and math careers, I cannot sit back any longer. These researchers all seem to miss a potentially significant variable—the impact of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Here is a sex difference for the authors to discuss: autism in general has an approximate 4 to 1 ratio of males to females. At the high-functioning end of the spectrum, such as among those of us with Asperger's syndrome, the ratio is even greater.
"Normal" people usually have an even spread of abilities, whereas those of us with high-functioning ASD tend to have a very uneven spread of abilities. Our visuospatial skills are usually better than average, whereas our social-verbal skills tend to be worse than average. Often these abilities are much better and much worse, respectively. As such, those of us "Aspies" who succeed tend to be drawn toward deterministic fields of endeavor in which solutions are black-and-white, such as engineering, computers, math and physics—and most of us are men.

I would like to make a recommendation. Women typically handle the family finances and are quite gifted at managing money in hard economic times. Working women, however, are still being paid roughly 77 percent of what men are paid for similar jobs. Given that women are acutely aware of finance, universities might consider offering their science degrees to women at a 23 percent tuition discount. An economic incentive might be the right solution.

Family Values
In "Inside the Terrorist Mind," Annette Schaefer rightly notes that most terrorists are not mentally ill. I would like to add that there is a common family dynamic found in many individual histories of male terrorists: the authoritarian family, which I discuss in my article "'I Came with a Sword on Judgment Day': A Psychoanalytic Look at Terrorist Enactments" (Psychoanalytic Review, Vol. 94, No. 5; October 2007).

Lawyers for rocker Travis Barker have fired off a cease and desist letter to a gossip site after editors obtained nude photos of the star and posted them online.
RELATED: Notorious Nudes: 25 Famed Naked Celeb Moments
On Wednesday, Mediatakeout editors published explicit cellphone images of a heavily tattooed rock star, pictured from the neck down, on their website amid reports that the then-unnamed musician had sent pictures of his penis to a female admirer.
But readers were quick to identify Barker from his distinctive tattoos and the Blink-182 drummer's lawyer, Evan Spiegel of Hollywood law firm Lavely and Singer, has leaped into action.
RELATED: Allure: Nude Celebs Talk Body Image
According to TMZ, Spiegel has sent MediaTakeOut editors a legal demand ordering them to remove the naked photos from their site, insisting they are an "unauthorized use of private photos."
Sources tell TMZ the photos are more than five years old and were "never intended for public viewing or to be seen by anyone else."

Precision Flight Team
Wins Loening Trophy
Kent State University's Precision Flight Team recently attended the National Intercollegiate Flying Association's 2010 SAFECON (Safety and Flight Evaluation Conference) competition and walked away with the prestigious Loening Trophy. The Loening Trophy is the rarest and oldest of all collegiate aviation awards. It is a perpetual trophy presented annually to the outstanding all-around collegiate aviation program in the nation.
The SAFECON competition was held May 17 through 22 at Indiana State University in Terra Haute, Ind. More than 450 students representing 29 aviation colleges and universities from across the country competed against each other in 13 different flying and non-flying events. Events included landing, navigation, planning and aircraft recognition.
The Kent State Precision Flight Team consists of 20 students. After placing second in a regional competition, the team advanced to the national event. The team began practices in January 2010 for the May contest. In addition to being awarded the Loening Trophy, Kent State placed ninth overall in the nation and finished sixth in flying events.
Individual team members received high honors for their performance in the 2010 SAFECON competition. Senior Evan Taylor placed first in the Power-Off Landing, making it the second year in a row that Kent State won that event. Sophomore Kelly Merwin and senior Brian Myers took second place in the Message Drop event. Overall, Taylor placed 13th out of 290 men, senior Thomas Thompson finished 34th overall for men and Merwin finished second overall for women.
The pure silver, Tiffany-designed Loening Trophy was commissioned and first awarded in 1929 when aviation pioneer and inventor Dr. Grover Loening saw a need to annually recognize the most outstanding achievements of today's college aviation programs. Dr. Loening, who was the first aeronautical engineer for the Wright Brothers, asked his friends and famous pilots Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart and Navy Commander John Towers to assist Loening in judging the first competition. The original Loening Trophy is still awarded today and is considered the most prestigious award at the annual SAFECON competition.
The award represents superb achievement in aeronautical skills and represents the current benchmark for an overall outstanding collegiate aviation program. Keys for selecting the award recipient include emphasis placed on academics, community involvement, aviation skills and their advancement, a comprehensive safety program and professionalism combined with a proactive enhancement of the future of aviation.
"The team's success is a testament to not only our students' efforts, but also to all of the faculty and staff who have helped make Kent State's aeronautics program so excellent," said Maureen McFarland, academic program director of aeronautics and assistant professor at Kent State. "Congratulations to the team, their captains Brian Myers and Jeff Adelman, and their faculty advisors and coaches Dr. Richard Mangrum and Professor Timothy Palcho for being the 2010 recipient of the Loening Trophy."

PASADENA, CALIF. (AP) - Science experiments by the NASA Mars rover Curiosity have been put on hold as engineers troubleshoot a problem with its computer.
NASA says the car-size rover is in "safe mode." In this state, Curiosity suspends science activities but is still in contact with Earth.
Engineers discovered a problem with Curiosity's flash memory earlier this week and switched to its backup computer.
Curiosity landed last summer in Gale Crater near the Martian equator to examine whether environmental conditions were favorable for microbes. It recently drilled into a rock and transferred a pinch of powder to its onboard laboratories to study the chemical makeup. It won't be able to finish the analysis until its systems are back to normal.

NVIDIA formally unveils the Tegra 3 quad-core processor
updated 05:00 am EST, Wed November 9, 2011
NVIDIA Tegra 3, offers 3x performance over Tegra 2
NVIDIA has formally unveiled its Tegra 3 quad-core processor. The company claims that with the launch of the chip, it has "ushered in the era of quad-core mobile computing" with the availability of the new chip. NVIDIA says that the new ARM Cortex A9-based system-on-a-chip (SOC) offers up to 3 times the graphics performance of its Tegra 2 dual-core predecessor, and uses up to 61 percent less power.
The Tegra 3 SOC employs a new 12-core NVIDIA GeForce GPU, which helps to deliver dynamic lighting, better physical effects and higher resolution environments. NIVIDIA says that its performance rivals the power of gaming consoles. The chip also supports the company's 3D Vision technology that automatically converts OpenGL applications to stereo 3D allowing users to view images on a compatible big screen 3D TV.
The Tegra 3 quad-core processor also marks its design with a fifth supplementary core that handles low-level tasks in order to help preserve battery power. When more demanding tasks are thrown at it, it dynamically ramps up performance accordingly.
NVIDIA also used the announcement to promote the impending launch of the ASUS Transformer Prime docking tablet, which will be the first quad-core tablet available on the market showcasing the new technology. It is claimed to have a 12-hour battery life and its tablet component will be just 8.3mm thin.

Water: Total Maximum Daily Loads (303d)
Impaired Waters and Total Maximum Daily Loads
Under section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act, states, territories, and authorized tribes are required to develop lists of impaired waters. These are waters that are too polluted or otherwise degraded to meet the water quality standards set by states, territories, or authorized tribes. The law requires that these jurisdictions establish priority rankings for waters on the lists and develop TMDLs for these waters. A Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL, is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still safely meet water quality standards.
On December 5, 2013, EPA announced a new collaborative framework for implementing the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) Program with States � A Long-Term Vision for Assessment, Restoration, and Protection under the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) Program. This Vision reflects the successful collaboration among States and EPA, which began in August 2011. While the Vision provides a new framework for implementing the CWA 303(d) Program, it does not alter State and EPA responsibilities or authorities under the CWA 303(d) regulations.

Richard Street, shown in 2002, died today in Las Vegas. He was 70.
- Filed Under
Richard Street, who served with the Temptations during the group's prolific second heyday in the 1970s and '80s, died early this morning in Las Vegas of a pulmonary embolism. He was 70.
Street, a Detroit native, formally joined the Tempts in 1971 after a long association with the group, having performed with Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin in the '50s vocal group the Distants.
Street's death follows the Feb. 18 passing of Damon Harris, who joined the Temptations simultaneously with Street and was with the group for four years. ...

Made some bourbon maple syrup last night, and it is awesome!! Very simple too - I looked every several recipes, and found too many had too LITTLE bourbon for my liking, and wound up customizing the one I found a bit.
Below is what I did:
8 oz pure maple syrup
1.5 teaspoons of brown sugar
4 oz of bourbon (I used AAA 10 Star)
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients into a small pot and bring to a boil (stirring to dissolve the brown sugar). Once brought to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes (no need to stir throughout, although I gave it a stir once or twice during). Then turn off heat but leave pot on the stove to allow to cool (took about an hour). By this time, I had just under 9 ounces of bourbon maple syrup. It should be refrigerated (my original pure maple syrup called for refrigeration after opening, but several of the recipes called for this, so I'd recommend that just to be safe).
I used the syrup on some pumpkin spice pancakes, and it was awesome. My wife says it is WAY too "bourbony" (and the original recipe I found called for only 2 ounces of bourbon), but - I like it that way :-) You can always try with 2 ounces, and if you're satisfied stop there (although I'd reduce the simmer time to 10 minutes).

I use lots of cinnamon, and this is a wonderful and healthy treat! :)
Sweet but Yummy
Posted by 5273211541324658335 on Aug 17, 2012
I love cinnamon. Put it in my coffee, tea, on ice cream and in goodie recipes. Decided to try the Ceylon cinnamon after reading that other varieties of cinnamon commonly found in grocery stores have a compound called Coumarin which can be damaging to the liver if taken large amount. This Ceylon cinnamon is sweeter and has a more delicate flavor than the other varieties.

There are loads of word in Japanese which end in 込む, like 吸い込む, 読み込む, 入り込む, 打ち込む, 売り込む, 送り込む, 押し込む. How does adding ー込む change the meaning? What is the meaning that links all these words?
込む by itself can be interpreted as a intransitive verb to mean "jammed in", "packed in", "crowded". For example 電車が込む
However, when 込む is used with compound verbs it can have 3 different interpretations.
The examples given by the OP are pretty clear-cut, and covered well by Amanda's answer. Where 〜込む can get difficult is in the verbs that don't directly relate to an action.
For example, 思い込む, per Amanda's explanation, would mean to "think thoroughly, completely, intensely, or to be packed in"... not exactly intuitive for the exact meaning of "to wrongly convince oneself of/talk oneself into something".
Usually it means to do something more thoroughly, completely, or intensely.
Sometimes it can also be like adding "into" after the verb: 押す, "to push" becomes 押し込む, "to push into."

Video: Investigator: Heroin epidemic hits Cleveland suburbs; Part 1
When law enforcement officials look at the numbers lately, they can see a big shift in drug use in Northeast Ohio. Heroin seizures and arrests were triple that of just a few years ago, while the numbers for powder and crack cocaine were falling.
Heroin overdose deaths were rising, as were the numbers of heroin addicts seeking treatment. And as law enforcement started to look at where the increase of heroin use was centered, they found it in the rich suburban communities.
Rocky River. North Olmsted. Mentor. Chardon. Gates Mills. Brunswick. Medina. Bay Village. The list goes on.
"It is virtually like going to get fast food out there, it is so accessible," said Lauren, 20, a heroin addict for four years from Rocky River who has been clean for about six months. "You'd be surprised. You pull up at a red light in Cleveland and people yell at you, asking what you need."
This is what local and regional law enforcement agencies think about the growing heroin epidemic (from this year's Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force Great Lakes Strategic Plan): "Heroin has emerged as the greatest drug threat in the Great Lakes Region as heroin availability, rates of abuse and related crime are increasing. The availability of heroin has increased over the past several years, and in 2011 heroin surpassed cocaine as the greatest drug threat in the Great Lakes Region."
In another section the report says that "In 2007 only 42 percent of the state and local law enforcement agencies reported high or moderate availability of heroin; by 2011, more than 62 percent of respondents were indicating that availability is high or moderate - compared with 50 percent nationally. These data are consistent with anecdotal reports of high or increasing heroin availability by law enforcement officials in every state in the region."
Heroin is now much easier to find than crack cocaine. "Approximately ten years ago, the drug of choice in Cleveland was powdered cocaine and crack cocaine," said FBI Agent Todd Platt, who works in the Northern Ohio Drug Task Force. "Back ten years ago, you couldn't find heroin on the streets on the streets of Cleveland."
"That has completely switched around right now," Platt continued. "Powdered and crack cocaine is difficult to find now, and the distribution of heroin is everywhere in Cleveland."
Heroin use now is an epidemic in Cleveland and the rest of the country. What was once seen as a drug used by junkies on the street, who tried to find a vein in their arm using a tourniquet, and generally regarded as being on fringe of the illegal drug community, is now a common drug used by high school kids.
How that came about is based upon a number of factors. Prescription pain medication use shot up in recent years, and much of it was stolen by kids from their parents' medicine cabinet or bought illegally on the street.
But the popularity of the prescription drugs shot their price much higher and they were more difficult to get. Users addicted to the pain meds - Oxycontin, Percocet, Opana, among other - switched to the cheaper heroin when the pain meds were harder to find.
The cheapness of heroin was by design, as the Mexican drug cartels - which had taken over opium growing and distribution in recent years -- could see they had a captive market in the suburbs fueled by the pain med addiction. They also changed heroin slightly so it was more like powered cocaine than before, able to be snorted and smoked more easily.
FBI Agent Platt estimates that the amount of profit for 10 kilograms of cocaine is equal to the profits from one kilo of heroin.
"You can get a bag of heroin for one shot for about $20 right now which is enough to get you as high as a couple of Oxycontin pills which will run you about 60 to 80 dollars," said Asst. U.S. Attorney Joe Pinjuh, who oversees narcotics cases for the U.S. Department of Justice's Northern Ohio District.
"One of the largest contributing factors in heroin use growing so quickly is the makeup of the new heroin," Pinjuh said. "It's not the heroin of the late sixties and the seventies where you had to inject it. This heroin you can snort. And by and large, most of the young people who try heroin for the first time, try it by snorting it."
"Because there is less of a stigma, in their minds, attached to that," Pinjuh continued. "If I'm putting heroin up my nose in a club, I'm cool. I'm taking it and putting it in my arm with a syringe, I'm an addict."
And it is that powerful addiction of heroin that makes it so dangerous. Injecting it gets one much higher than snorting it, so as the body needs more to keep the high going, the addicts tend to shoot almost entirely. And the amount used per day, goes from a few small bags for $60 to a full gram for about $150.
Dr. Ted Parran, assistant medical director for Rosary Hall, the addiction treatment center for St. Vincent-Charity Medical Center in Cleveland, said heroin and other opiates are the most physically addictive drug and it is very difficult to stop the use.
"Easily 50 percent, some studies indicate that it is 80 percent, will have a relapse sometime in the first six months of trying to get sober," Dr. Parran said. "People find themselves hooked on opiates and they can't get them so easily from doctors anymore, but they find they can buy heroin on the street from dealers. The problem is they don't know what purity they are getting, and a lot of the overdoses come from that."
The addicts themselves are seeing the users getting younger. ""They're experimenting with heroin a lot sooner than they used to," said Ryan, of Parma, who has been sober about four years.
"I've been in detox about five times, and every time I would go there would be three or four young girls, 16 or 17-yeard old girls from Strongsville, all from nice neighborhoods, all strung out," he said.
But despite the wide use in the suburbs, the majority of heroin dealing is still going on in the inner city. The drug cartels are using their crack cocaine dealers to sell heroin, and the suburban kids come into the city to buy.
"You go into East Cleveland and heroin is everywhere," said David, who has been sober for a few months after using for about five years. "I've bought from East 55th street and Euclid Avenue all the way down to East 200th Street. But it isn't like they are standing on the street corner just waving it around. You have to have contacts, and you have to know some people. You get those through friends you know who also use."
The numbers reflect how much heroin is now being sold in Northeast Ohio. In the USADOJ Northern District (northern half of the state of Ohio), heroin seizures went from 11 kilograms in 2007 to 54 kilograms in 2010. The Ohio State Highway Patrol has seized 36.2 pound of heroin through June of this year, compared to 16.9 pounds in all of 2009.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner reports that heroin overdoses have nearly tripled since 2006. Admissions at publicly funded treatment facilities went up 69 percent for heroin users between 2006 (4246 admissions) and 2010 (7185 admissions).
Law enforcement is doing its best to stem the tide, but it is difficult to get a handle on the problem when high potency heroin is coming into the country at a cheap price, and the demand is there as more and more suburban use get pulled into the ring.
"Like any other businessmen, these heroin dealers aren't stupid," Pinjuh said. "They know where the demand is, what's selling right now. The thing that is selling right now is heroin. And it is more available now because the large cartels are moving more of it into the country, more of it into Ohio."
"It come across the border into the United States at somewhere between 90 to 95 percent pure," Pinjuh continued. "It's selling on the streets at 10 to 15 percent pure. So all you have to do is do the math."
But while these numbers paint a certain picture, the heroin epidemic on a personal level can be very painful. Rob and Carla Brandt of Olmsted Falls watched their son Robbie descend into the abyss that started with prescription drugs and morphed into heroin use.
"When he was clean he was incredibly outgoing," Rob Brandt said. "He brought energy into a room, and he engaged adults in conversation when he was a little kid. He loved sports, playing hockey, roller blading, skateboarding and bikes."
But in high school he got addicted to pain meds. His father said he became "Irritable. Crabby. Short-tempered. Slept a lot. Demotivated. He was definitely different."
Robbie Brant graduated from Olmsted Falls High School in 2009. , He went through a number of inpatient and outpatient treatment programs for his pain med addiction, but relapsed each time. "He said to me 'Mom, I didn't choose this. I didn't choose to be an addict. This chose me,' " Carla Brandt said.
He joined the Ohio National Guard in the spring of 2011, and was going to be deployed to Afghanistan in November. His parents said he indicated he would like to be in law enforcement after military service.
But in the summer after basic training, Robbie Brandt relapsed again, and heroin was more and more his drug of choice. "He was found in a fast food parking lot in East Cleveland in October of last year, dead from a heroin overdose.
"I blame myself a lot," Carla said. "I blame myself because I saw the signs and I feel like I should have done things differently. It's that 'What if' and 'I should have' that goes through my mind every day.
"But I don't think it is a reflection of our parenting at all," Carla continued. "We are good parents. But he fell into this disease, and he could get out of it."
"He couldn't do it himself and it took his life."

Hello, some of you may remember me from a (very long) while back when I was posting here about my conlang 'Atario' and unfortunately I did not have enough time to continue posting due to HW and stuff. So here I am with a brand new Conlang wich I have created for the novel that I *plan* on getting on paper at some point. So, without further delay, I give you Hreptep Tultrybab!
Basically, Hreptep Tultrybab means 'Standard Galactic' and was created in about 2200 when the Galactic Federation was founded. Although English was the language spoken by the billions of people in the Federation, the Government forced the creation of Hreptep Tultrybab in order to make politics far too complicated for the common fellah to understand (Hreptep Tultrybab wasn't taught in schools) and thus make them NOT involved in politics (i.e. brainwashing). The excuse for adopting the language as the official language of the state was that 'in the millions of worlds there need to be a language understandable by all' which is really out of place seeing as everyone spoke English... A proper introduction to Hreptep Tultrybab will follow a bit later (I'm not on my pc :/) but for the time being, how about this: the first three points of the story of the Tower of Babel in Standard Galactic Lets see if some of you can figure out some things about the grammar before I post it
Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
Pak iltet Gee'tik on plirtak mi ulten papLetet. Mi sop papEklip yatlep'tik kvi Zom, pehrkik'tik viy ur vreyibab Shinar m' iyreb'tik kiy. Mi taakkik'tik ya kopaskev, "iSrey, iBremkopi iLek papOrzed, m' iMteskik kripTamen". Mi tikkik orzed fah itrepleh, mi zatipke fah teekta.

Anne Hathaway poses for photographers at the premiere of 'Les Miserables' in central London on Dec. 5. / Jon Furniss, Jon Furniss/Invision/AP
Anne Hathaway clearly wasn't concerned about getting chilly -- or receiving a few stares -- on the red carpet at the London premiere of her latest flick Les Miserables.
The pixie-cut-rocking star made another daring style move in an interesting pearl-colored Givenchy gown Wednesday evening that left plenty of her upper body uncovered.
The intricate, backless gown has plenty of moving parts with an off-the-shoulder neckline, halter straps held together by a ring and hundreds of fancy beads studding the dress from top to bottom.
With so much going on with the look, it's hard to know where to focus one's attention. Beads? Backless? Batwing sleeves?
(For the record, The Huffington Post called the complex gown "befuddling.")
Hathaway was joined on the red carpet by her co-stars Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Amanda Seyfried, who made a splash herself in a sculpted black-and-white Balenciaga dress.

Fact Sheet Details
Design your own major at the University of Wisconsin-Superior and take charge of your future.
UW-Superior offers two self-designed majors:
When you design your own major, you, along with faculty members and an advisor, build a degree that reflects your unique talents and experiences.
With both, you get:
Increased earning power.
Personal satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.
The recognition and respect you deserve.
The chance to get college credit for prior learning or training.
UW-Superior has two self-designed majors, which can both be completed entirely online:
The Interdisciplinary Studies Major (IDS) is a comprehensive major which means that a minor is not required. It's interdisciplinary and includes courses from three or four areas of study. This type of self-design major is ideal for students with upper level credits in several subject areas -- for example, students who switched majors -- who want to use their completed coursework to help earn their degree.
The Individually Designed Major (IDM) is perfect for students who have a detailed idea of their degree goals and need more flexibility in course selection than other majors provide. The IDM requires a minor. (IDM information, catalog)
Popular self-design degree options include:
Other features of UW-Superior's self-designed majors:
Flexible schedule: Study on your schedule without travel to campus.
Flexible class choices: Combine courses from multiple areas to create your major.
Quality: The University of Wisconsin-Superior is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and has been accredited since 1914.
Q: Is an Interdisciplinary Studies major from UW-Superior right for me?
A: The IDS major could be perfect for you if:
You started college years ago but had to stop when your life circumstances changed.
You want a degree from a known, respected institution.
Your curiosity and talents can't be limited to one or two (or even three) subject areas.
Q: Can I really just design my own college major?
A: Yes, as long as you follow the guidelines (our advisors are great at explaining these) and get your proposed major approved. Faculty members from your subject areas will review your proposal and may suggest changes to make sure it meets the academic standards of the university.
Q: Can you tell me more about how this works?
A: As an Interdisciplinary Studies major, you work with faculty and your advisor to design a degree around three or four areas of study that support your educational and professional goals. Faculty from those areas of study review and approve the major, with final approval awarded by the University Credits Committee.
Q: Can I complete all of the Interdisciplinary Studies major online?
A: Yes. Many of our distance learning students are able to finish their degrees completely online. Depending on the specific courses involved, some students must attend a few classes on campus.
Q: Can I get college credit for life experience?
A: Some online degree programs say they give "credit for life experience," but reputable programs don't grant college credit for life experiences alone.
The University of Wisconsin-Superior gives credit for college-level learning that has happened as a result of your work or personal experiences. Consult an advisor to learn the different ways you can demonstrate your prior learning.
Need more details? See the Credit for Prior Learning page.
Q: Can you tell me what kinds of programs some of your past students have designed?
A: Sure. Here are some examples:
One student's IDS major combined courses from social work, communications and psychology.
Another, who wanted to become a child life specialist at a hospital, studied human growth and development, education, psychology, and communication.
A third, whose goal was an upper level casino management position, combined First Nations Studies along with communicating arts and management courses.
Program Structure
The Interdisciplinary Studies major is a 120-credit degree completion program resulting in a Bachelor of Science degree. It can be structured in one of two ways:
1. A comprehensive major of 54 credits, with general education requirements and elective courses totaling 120 credits.
2. A major of 33 credits with a minor of 21 to 24 credits in a subject area, along with general education requirements and elective courses totaling 120 credits. This option meets needs of students who wish to include a minor in their program. You may also combine this option with a second major in a discipline such as Communicating Arts.
Note: The Interdisciplinary Studies Major is not designed to meet specific professional entry requirements. Be sure to discuss your specific career goals with an advisor as you decide your educational program.

Lulu Harwell, Ernie Harwell's widow, views a rendering of Ernie Harwell Field on Wayne State's diamond. (Jose Juarez /Special to Detroit News)
Detroit � Rob Fournier loves old baseball stadiums.
Just look at the walls of his office at Wayne State. Two are devoted to the classics � Yankee Stadium, the Polo Grounds and Shibe Park.
Fournier does more than reminisce. The athletic director works to include the past into the present, evident by Wayne State�s soon to be remodeled baseball field.
The field will become Ernie Harwell Field ... if the money is generated to finish the project.
Officials have raised $234,000 of the $550,000 needed to complete Phase I of the project, and Fournier is targeting larger companies and executives to help.
�It creates uniqueness for our baseball program,� Fournier said of the stadium, which is patterned after New York�s Ebbets Field, where Harwell broadcasted games for the Brooklyn Dodgers. �What you have is that nostalgia or that connection to a different era.�
Radio legend adds credibility
Of course, Fournier faces the harsh realities of life.
Fundraising started with a bang, but has slowed. It needs a kick-start, and what better way than to remind people this project, while a boon for Wayne State, is a tribute to Harwell.
It would be embarrassing if the community were unable to raise $500,000 to honor the radio legend.
�Think about it,� Fournier said. �(Harwell) was at your family outings. And he was the background to the family barbecue. When he talked about the foul ball going into the stands and talked about the fan from Escanaba, Allen Park or Hamtramck catching the ball, you would say, �Darn, how did he know that person?�
�But you knew he knew everybody, even if he did not know the person. He had that kind of credibility.�
When Fournier took over as athletic director, the baseball program was in shambles. There was no stadium. It was an open field where a wooden fence lined Brooklyn Avenue.
Things are different now.
Players are realizing their dream of playing pro ball � catcher Brad Guenther recently signed with the A�s organization.
The stadium was the site of a Cal Ripken Foundation clinic, where Tigers teammates Phil Coke, Austin Jackson and Andy Dirks participated.
Last weekend, Tigers teammates Miguel Cabrera and Jackson appeared at a clinic at Wayne State.
And this winter, former Tigers Lance Parrish and Alan Trammell are scheduled to host a clinic at the school�s indoor facility.
Important for inner city
Harwell�s longtime attorney, Gary Spicer, said the legend knew it was important for this field to take shape to help spur interest in baseball in the inner city.
�Ernie had a bird�s-eye view of the migration of African-Americans and other minorities into baseball,� Spicer said. �He cared about the growth of baseball in the inner city.�
This is more than a tribute to Harwell. Fournier hopes this becomes Detroit�s field of dreams.
�As a baseball program and athletic program to be associated with Mr. and Mrs. (Lulu) Harwell is not a bad thing,� Fournier said. �We still fight a little bit of perception of who we are. Where do we fit in the city?�

Besides, as pointed out, if the pricing doesn't work, it will likely come down. I'm sure it won't be long before we see old, no-longer-in-demand titles for 5-8 bucks.
Also, for those of you taking all of your time arguing about the superiority of print over digital: Well sure, there are advantages to print. Just as there are and will be advantages to digital. So all that matters is what advantages you value more, and that's likely to vary from person to person.
Why an apple tablet over a kindle? Maybe no reason at all, big deal. In other words, if all you're looking for is a basic e-reader than the kindle might be what you want. Personally, I don't read much, so the Kindle isn't a worthwhile proposition to me, and since I read magazines more than anything else, the lack of color is a dealbreaker as well.
So again, this is going to vary from person to person. Why all up in arms about it? Take a deep breath. lol honestly. We don't even know anything for certain about this device until later today. If you want to freak out, maybe wait until all the facts are in at least.
One thing that does NOT make sense to me is AppleInsider's claim that "Amazon allegedly takes a loss on e-books that sell for $9.99. The company loses about $4.50 on each sale in order to maintain its dominant position in the market."
I'm not sure how they're getting those numbers, and I think this article explains the pricing situation a lot better: http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/kit-...publishers-cut

Program Options
- The bachelor of science in biology provides you with an excellent preparation for graduate or professional schools and is divided into a three-tier curriculum. The foundation includes a freshman biology seminar, and courses in cell and molecular biology, zoology, ecology, and botany. Six biology electives allow you to explore your areas of interest. The program is capped by a senior-directed research project, which you will develop, perform, and present. The major includes five cognate support courses in chemistry, mathematics, and/or statistics.
- The bachelor of arts in biology has the same core and exploration options as the bachelor of science but has fewer chemistry cognate requirements and does not include a senior-directed research project. This option provides flexibility for students to take courses in other areas.
- Students interested in a minor in biology have two options. The general minor includes the core courses (except for the freshman seminar) and two chemistry courses. The biomedical sciences minor is for students in other majors who are interested in a career in the health professions and includes courses that are connected to human biology.
- The medical technology degree, an option leading to certification by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences, is a program that involves three years at Dordt, followed by a year of clinical education at an approved school of medical technology.
- A biology education major is available to both elementary and secondary education majors. Students preparing for the K-6 classroom will major in education, usually taking from four to 12 courses in biology and other sciences. To teach on the secondary level, you will double-major in biology and in secondary education.
- Many pre-med students major in biology. Dordt's acceptance rate for biology majors into medical schools and graduate schools is very high; four out of five biology majors who apply are accepted (the national average is one in three). The biology major is also a popular choice for students interested in pre-professional programs for veterinary medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, and physical therapy.
- Environmental studies, a closely-related major, is an interdisciplinary program involving courses from the biology, chemistry, economics, philosophy, and political science departments, plus six electives.
- Off-campus opportunities: You can study off-campus through Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies, which offers summer courses and field work in Michigan, Washington, and South India, or the Creation Care Program in Belize or the South Pacific. You may also be able to benefit from internship liaisons we have established with several research agencies and laboratories.
