The Program
Material science in a scientific point of view wants to connect the characteristics on the microscopic scale to the effect (expected or undesirable) on a macroscopic scale. The international "Master of Science in Chemistry and Physics of Functional Materials" therefore integrates concepts of Chemistry and Physics as well as neighboring sciences, math and computer science. Due to its interdisciplinary and applied approach, the program enables its graduates to synthesize and characterize functional materials. An international direction of the study program is realized by our international research staff, regular talks of guest lecturers from abroad and internships which can be undertaken all over the world. All mandatory courses are taught in English. The program could be completed entirely in English. Only for internships (not required) or later work in regional industry German language skills are necessary.
In general, our program aims at people with a bachelor's degree in physics, chemistry or material science.
Job Outlook
Our graduates are duly qualified for jobs in scientific facilities, research institutes, authorities or industry. In addition, the master's program prepares for further research and a PhD in this field.
Study Contents
• Synthesis and Characterization of functional materials
• Electives allow for setting an individual focus (mathematics, biology, geo science, economics and computer science)
• Lectures will be held in English (choices in elective are therefore restricted)
• Possibility of studying a term abroad
The Master's program comprises three semesters of full-time study with a total amount of 90 ECTS. For students with a bachelor with 180 ECTS additional 30 LP (one semester) is offered, finally 300 LP have to be earned.
The program consists of a compulsory part on solid state physics, the synthesis and characterization of functional materials. This gives a broad knowledge in the field of functional materials (15 LP). Furthermore, three optional modules (18 LP) out of six in specific application fields of chemistry and physics in materials science have to be chosen. Electives (12 LP) and a research project (15 LP) prepare the students for their final master thesis with a final oral exam (30 LP).
Study abroad unit(s)
Not necessary, but optional for internship or Master's thesis
Forms of assessment
Written and oral exams, project work, lab report, presentations, Master's thesis
Additional information
The Modules which make it possible to complete the entire program in English are only a selection of the modules of the Master "Chemie und Physik funktionaler Materialien" which contains also modules in German Language.

About the Program
An increasing number of chemicals is used by society today, which are also released into the environment. Ecotoxicology is concerned with their potential impacts on the ecosystem. It aims to investigate and discover effects of chemicals on biological systems in order to develop methods for risk management, as well as to predict ecological consequences.
The international "Master of Science program in Ecotoxicology" integrates concepts of Environmental Chemistry, Toxicology and Ecology and includes Social Sciences and Economics as well. Due to its interdisciplinary and applied approach, the Program enables its graduates to analyze complex problems and to develop practical solutions.
As environmental problems reach far beyond national borders, an international approach is necessary and the situation in developing countries needs special solutions.
The Master in Ecotoxicology is carried out under the Institute for Environmental Sciences.
For the latest news about our Institute of Ecotoxicology you can also check our Ecotox-Blog under:
Program Structure
All students take the 9 required modules, as well as a 10-week Research Project Course and an Applied Module at External Organisations of 8 weeks to obtain a deep knowledge in the field of Ecotoxicology. Afterwards, studentes personalize the Program by choosing 2 Modules of the 5 Specialty Areas. The Master Thesis with colloquium round out the 4-semester Program.
Specialty Areas:
Applied Environmental Chemistry & Environmental Physics,
Applied Ecology,
Geoecology and
Socioeconomics & Environmental Management
Applied Module at External Organizations (AMEO)
The module AMEO is an 8-week internship, which can be performed at an external university or a governmental or industrial research institute in Germany or abroad. Students become familiar with working practice, requirements of the job market and career opportunities and can establish business contacts. They apply, confirm and expand knowledge and competences achieved during their study.
Following an introductory discussion with the supervisors, the students perform the (research) work on their own and discuss the obtained results regularly with their supervisors. The content depends on the actual research questions in the selected research organizations. Topics or possible positions will be suggested by the staff of the Institute for Environmental Sciences or maybe suggested by the students. The topics should be directly related to applied problems relevant in these external organisations and should ideally offer the students opportunities to apply their knowledge and skills in areas, which are not the particular research areas at the Institute for Environmental Sciences in Landau. They include, but are not restricted to the following areas:
Engineering aspects (e.g. hydrology, mitigation techniques)
Multimedia modelling
Food web modelling
Fish, bird or mammal ecotoxicology and risk assessment
Agricultural sciences
Specific aspects in regulatory ecotoxicology
Risk communication, economic or societal aspects
Research Project Course (RPC)
The students work independently on a research topic of the university for a total time of about 10 weeks. The topics depend on the actual research conducted in the various research groups. However, all topics do have an interdisciplinary character covering at least two different disciplines (e.g. chemistry and ecology, or physics and risk assessment). The students submit proposals for topics selected from a list provided by the teaching staff including a time and resource planning as well as an independently conducted literature search. Following an introductory discussion with the supervisor, the students perform the research work on their own and discuss the obtained results regularly with their supervisor. Following the practical work, the students write a report including the theoretical background, the methods used, the results obtained and a discussion of the results based on the relevant scientific literature. The students present and defend the outcome of their work at an oral presentation. Following successful completion the students are able to plan a scientific work package, conduct the work, evaluate the results based on the relevant literature and present the outcomes.
The content depends on the actual research questions in the research groups associated with the Institute for Environmental Sciences. They include, but are not restricted to the following areas:
Chemical experiments in the lab
Environmental colloid chemistry
Environmental organic chemistry
Physical transport or transfer processes of environmental chemicals
Ecotoxicological lab tests
Ecotoxicological field studies
In situ or monitoring work in the field

Higher Education Entrance Qualification -
It is a legal requirement in Germany that students own a Higher education entrance qualification ("Hochschulzugangsberechtigung") respectively a Master entrance qualification ("Masterzugangsberechtigung"), proven by school leaving certificates or studies completed at secondary education level.
Entrance qualification is not checked by us, but uni-assist (see application process), therefore please refrain from asking us if your diploma will be accepted. Uni-assist provides some further information on higher education entrance qualification.
Academic Background in Computer Science -
You need some academic background in computer science, such as a
bachelor's degree in computer science, business informatics, Computervisualistik (as offered by the University of Koblenz-Landau), Information management (as offered by the University of Koblenz-Landau until 2012 if 60 ECTS in computer science were acquired) or similar.
Students with a minor in computer science (at least 60 European Credit Points) can apply, too. Here we have to make a decision on a by-case-basis. To get an educated guess please contact the course guidance.
Only diplomas of international accredited universities will be accepted. If you are unshure if your academic background fulfils our requirements, do not hesitate to contact us:
[email protected]
. Non-academic, practical experience in computer science alone does not qualify you for our programme.
Sufficient Grades in Previous Studies -
The German grading system ranges from 1 ("very good") to 6 ("insufficient"). Lower numbers mean better grades. To be eligible for our programme, the grades from your previous studies must be between 1 and 2.5. Grade conversion into the German system is done by uni-assist (cf. application procedure), so we cannot tell you if your GPA fis sufficient. For a first, non-binding estimation on your eligibility you might want to check the calculator provided by the University of Paderborn.
English Language Proficiency -
The medium of instruction for all required courses is English, some additional electives can be taken in German. Thus, we require a certain level of English proficiency such that studies can be undertaken successfully. Thus, a standardised language certificate is required – proof that your previous studies were held in English are not sufficient and not negiotiable. We accept three types of language proficiency certificates:
a TOEFL result of at least 79 (internet based), 550 (paper based) or 213 (computer based)
IELTS test with 6.5 points mininum
Cambridge certificate at level B2 or higher (find an exam center)
Proficiency of German language is not a requirement for application. However, additional elective courses are available in German, and we recommend to learn some basic German for daily life. Some hints on learning German can be found at Deutsche Welle.
Motivational Letter -
Applicants need to supply a motivational letter. Please do not send lenghty standard letters describing your general interest in computer science and your appreciation of the German education system. Instead, refer only to our specific programme and follow these guidelines:
Length should be between 150 and 300 words.
The letter must be written in English.
Specify what you learnt and found particularly interesting in your previous studies or practical experiences. Tell us how you want to deepen these previous experience in our master's programme. You can also describe what you expect to learn here for your future job. You should always refer to our curriculum, especially the module groups Foundations of Web Science, Major Subject Computer Science und Major Subject Web and Society. Make clear that you know our curriculum and point out why you have chosen our programme above others.

Mathematical Modeling of Complex Systems
Universität Koblenz-Landau
Masters Courses
Distance from Landau: 0 miles
Complex systems with a technological, biological or socio-economic background determine our everyday life.
Read more
About the Program
Complex systems with a technological, biological or socio-economic background determine our everyday life. The challenge of modeling these complex systems mathematically demands the following prototypic profile of an "expert mastering a repertoire of modern mathematical and computer based methods for modeling, simulating and optimizing complex systems and knowing how to combine those methods for solving real-world problems".
The term expert is understood in the sense of generalist and not a specialist, since this program aims at teaching a broad spectrum of modern methods.
The two-years English-taught master program "Mathematical Modeling of Complex Systems" focuses on advanced techniques of modeling, simulation and optimization. A substantial set of elective courses allows concentration on areas of individual interest. A mobility window enables the students to study abroad and gain scientific and cultural experience at international partner universities. This program uses English as medium of instruction since its graduates will enter a highly globalized work and research community. Besides that, the participation and enrollment of international candidates is explicitly welcomed.
Application oriented, interdisciplinary seminars link the theoretical basics and concepts of modeling and simulation. Students work in small teams to solve real world problems. This teamwork reflects typical work in applied sciences and corresponds to our paradigm of an "expert mastering a repertoire of methods to solve problems".
Find out more about the program and our campus in Koblenz under:
Aims/Career Perspectives
The Master degree in Mathematical Modeling of Complex Systems is to give those possessing extended skills in Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science in theory, experiment and practical application. These skills are complemented with further knowledge in additional topics, individually selected by each student. The degree entitles its holder to exercise professional work in the field of Applied Mathematics and/or Mathematical Modeling in science or industry or to pursue a PhD program in related fields.
Program Structure
The first three terms of the two-years master "Mathematical Modeling of Complex Systems" consist of core courses in Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics. Elective courses in Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics and Computer Sciences allow each student to set its individual focus. Active use of the gained knowledge and its application to the solution of real-world problems is taught and practiced in a project seminar. This project seminar can be carried out in a three-month period at a research institution, enterprise or at university. The master thesis in the last term and dealing with modeling and simulating a real-world problem, shows the student's ability to perform independent research work.
The core and elective courses typically include a written or oral exam, the project seminar is graded based an oral presentation and written report of the project results.

Ravens = Best Playoff Record
9 playoff appearances.
14-7 in the playoffs.
.667 winning percentage....all-time best in the NFL.
4 AFC North championships.
4 AFC championship appearances.
2 AFC championships.
2 Super Bowl championships....as many or more than half the teams in the league.
The Ravens became the fifth team to win their first two Super Bowl appearances, joining the 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers and New York Giants.
This is the franchise's 17th season.
We are a very blessed fanbase.
Enjoy the journey....

Re: Ravens = Best Playoff Record
A few more:
Joe Flacco's ninth playoff victory means he is tied for third on the all time QB playoff win list. He is one behind Roethlisberger (10-4) and Brady (17-7). All time 9th on the list tied with guys like Bart Starr and Kurt Warner.
He is tied with Peyton Manning (9-11) on the active list.
The Ravens are, despite being the second youngest franchise in the NFL, already 16th on the all time playoff wins list, tied with Buffalo and the Titans/Oilers. In this reason, they have surpassed or broken a tie with San Diego, Cleveland and the Jets. Next stop is Chicago on 17.
They are also the tied for the second quickest to reach 2 Superbowls in the AFL-NFL era. Only Miami was quicker with both superbowls within their first ten years (and none since). It is the same time frame as the Raiders who won the AFL Championship in 1967 and their 2nd, a SB, in 1976 - 16 years after their creation. It is one year quicker than the Dallas Cowboys. While those 3 teams suck at the moment, they have good history.
Obviously if taking the whole league's history, a few teams were quicker in the Packers, Bears and Giants etc, but the league was so much smaller then so hard to make a direct comparison. Still, pretty neat, huh?

Re: Ravens = Best Playoff Record
Thanks Ravens for giving us great times. Your ability to play hard and be resilient is what Baltimore needs. We revel in your victories and deal with the losses. Extending the season for the last 5 years and then winning it all this year gives us satisfaction because true Raven fans knew you are a great team and organization. Also, thanks goes to Art Modell for having the balls to move to Baltimore. A city who supports the Ravens better then any team in the NFL.

My Life is Choked with Comics #20 (Ver. 2.0): Captain Hadacol
Posted by: on February 1, 2010
Categories: Reviews
Tags: Jog
This is a song about Louisiana and some of the people in it. Or outside it. Or nearly anywhere in these United States as the 1950s approached, and superheroes declined as charismatic rogues stood tall, proud like they knew we'd miss them once fatedly laid low. It's a nostalgic record.
Let it play. Can I offer you a drink?
This is Hadacol.
Twelve Percent True
(Being a second and updated version of a post of January 31, 2010, amended to include exciting superhero art and duly expanded/adjusted text and formatting.)
Hadacol was a popular 'patent medicine' of the late 1940s that transformed into a full-blown national fad as the century's midpoint arrived. "A Dietary Supplement," as you can see, Hadacol was supposed to be taken four times per day — once after every meal, then right before bed — as diluted in water, half a glass for one tablespoon. A typical bottle retailed for $1.25 (over $11.00 today), chock-full of vitamins B1, B2, and B6, with Niacinamide, Iron, Manganese, Calcium, Phosphorous, and sweet sweet honey.
And… diluted acid hydrochloric, which the product's Wikipedia page happily informs us (without citation) was intended to open the body's arteries to facilitate better absorption of the Hadacol health mix, including its 'preservative' – 12% alcohol, roughly as much as in a typical bottle of table wine.
By literally every account I can track down, Hadacol was absolutely disgusting, which probably didn't matter: it was healthy! Sort of! At least, enough so to circumvent the legal/moral/religious concerns of 'dry' communities across the land, while giving even the most saturated household a special license for consumption. Plus, it was fun, the ballyhoo of it all, much grander than that behind the boozy potions of earlier American miracle vendors, dating back to before the Revolutionary War. A new, modern, post-WWII country needed a contemporary elixir, and Hadacol cured just what ailed 'em.
Dr. James Harvey Young provided a detailed overview of the Hadacol phenomenon in his 1966 book The Medical Messiahs: A Social History of Health Quackery in Twentieth-Century America (rev. 1990, free online), so I'll just run down the highlights. Hadacol was the brainchild of one Dudley J. LeBlanc, a Louisiana politician, entrepreneur, and quintessential Colorful Character from Down South prone to boasting that he got the inspiration for his bottled success in 1943 by way of swiping an injectable prototype from out of a doctor's office after the nurse had left the room. It wasn't LeBlanc's first patent medicine endeavor; one earlier project, Happy Day Headache Powders, in fact ran afoul of the Food and Drug Administration. Apparently not one to lay down and accept defeat, LeBlanc compressed the name of his former Happy Day Company into Ha-Da-Co-L, the 'L' being his own last name.
But if this time it was personal, LeBlanc didn't show it – mostly, he liked to say that he hadda call his product something.
I bet that's not the first time you've heard that joke. Hell, it's not even the first time today if you listened to that song like I asked you. But don't go thinking the lore of Hadacol entered into song and jest unassisted – it's said that LeBlanc himself commissioned Everybody Loves That Hadacol, licentious subtext and over-the-top claims and all. I mean, did that guy grow new toes?! Hadacol sounds scary.
Did the song end? Here, try this.
LeBlanc started out hawking Hadacol in French to Louisiana's Cajun population, to which he belonged, but it didn't take many years for the earthy nostrum to build its way up to the level of a genuine south-to-midwest consumer craze, aggravated by aggressive advertising tactics and lavish spending prompted by the possibility of tax write-offs. Mad culmination manifested in 1950, in the form of the Hadacol Caravan, a massive traveling spectacle accessible to the consumer only with the presentation of two Hadacol box tops (one for kids). Plenty more would be available inside, as the caravan wasn't a particularly new idea – it was a medicine show, of a type rapidly withdrawing into antiquity. Leblanc's affair was way bigger and far more monied than avarage, but it was essentially traditional, and I can't imagine some happy Hadacol purchasers didn't grasp the implication as to the, er, palliative qualities of the medicine accordant to such shows.
Ann Anderson's 2000 study Snake Oil, Hustlers and Hambones: The American Medicine Show positions the Hadacol Caravan as effectively the last great example of its folk entertainment kind, though poorer docs continued to wander into the 1960s. The form went out with a bang: among the Caravan's features, albeit not at the same time, were Hank Williams, Roy Acuff, George Burns & Gracie Allen, Jack Dempsey, Jack Benny, Sharkey Bonano's Dixieland Band, Bob Hope, Carmen Miranda, Dorothy Lamour, Rudy Vallée, Cesar Romero, Mickey Rooney, Milton Berle, Jimmy Durante, a chorus line, clowns, acrobats, vaudevillians, beauty queens, prizes, fireworks, and, of course, LeBlanc himself, cruising up through the venue in a white Cadillac. While he was serving in the Louisiana state senate, mind you. By the show's 1951 season, audiences ballooned to number in the tens of thousands.
Interestingly, Anderson's description of the show's over-the-top disposition — purportedly adorned with unsubtle nods toward the star concoction's primary ingredient and winks at an aphrodisiac quality — falls right in line with the awfully tongue-in-cheek tenor of the extended jingles we've already heard. Writer Jeremy Alford's account is similar, presenting some of the Caravan's action as approaching a prolonged and elaborate in-joke between Dudley J. LeBlanc and interested personages in Dry America:
A clown dressed in a police uniform stumbles around on stage and makes his way into the audience. A spotlight follows the ensuing folly as every time the clown takes an energetic step, an oversized bottle of Hadacol nearly jumps out of his pocket. He reaches quickly for the tonic and helps himself to a healthy swig. His massive glasses glow in the evening shade with each pull on the bottle. It's obvious that this is one drunken clown, and he's soon joined by another inebriated fellow whose nose lights up when he takes sips. The crowd ' children and adults ' loves it and screams into the night air.
Now, make no mistake, this is hardly the first instance of 20th century advertising adopting a fairly sardonic posture in re: the product at hand. Witness this 1932 marvel, fronted by a pair of New York City brothers that everybody reading this site has heard of:
And that's for Oldsmobile, as opposed to the most noxious libation this side of Jeppson's Malört. Yet people often still think of mid-century advertising as goofily forthright in its glosses and fibs, even while the Fleischers long ago poked at the virile promise of automobile ownership, and LeBlanc, decades later, sometimes giggled openly at the carnival pitchman's shamelessness of his own endeavor; this was a man with the trickster's spirit enough to stand on stage with an inter-party political rival and, at one point, switch his address to French so as to excoriate the man next to him to the delight of fluent attendees, as the target smiled.
Needless to say, he also got into comics publishing.
One comic, as far as I know. A superhero comic.
About a superhero that gets his powers from an authentic, eminently purchasable health product of dubious medicinal value, 24 proof.
That treasure took seventeen hours to find, because Captain Hadacol is smashed. And that's because the secret to his powers is booze. VITAMIN BOOZE.
I don't actually own this comic, nor do I know who wrote or drew it. All scans to follow come courtesy of the Deborah LeBlanc Collection, which informed me that Captain Hadacol — whom I'd only known of by barest reference in product lore — is a Superman-Popeye hybrid character, a plain man granted enormous temporary powers through imbibing the sponsor potion (available now, just $1.50). This came as a relief, since Cap looks strikingly like a 'vitamin'-addled normal guy who perhaps only thinks he has powers. Also, his costume looks like stuff he found. Then again, it probably does take a hero to successfully navigate in over-the-knee flat boots; I hope Marvel is taking notice for its upcoming Heroic Age, 'cause those Napoleonic puppies are back in style.
Just look at that wholesome, concerned face, bedecked with the same deadly squint promotions connoisseur Chris Ware sometimes uses for his Super-Man, which puts me in dire fear for Twelve Percent Lad's health. I just made up a superhero name right there; the proper name of that boy on the cover is "Red Reddie," whose family appears to have some firm connection to "John," the top-secret bespectacled identity of Captain Hadacol. "Comic Book No. 2" sees the Reddie family and their blond chum cutting loose down on the ranch:
Now if you're like me, your first thought is "gee, nice colors!" It's not unlike the anonymous, popping fresh style that does a lot to compliment Fletcher Hanks' (earlier) work. But the more you get into this comic, the more you notice its odd stylistic tics, like how four out of its nine story pages utilize the same motif of an expanded center panel, bordered on one side with a smaller column of panels and capped top and bottom with two thinner panel rows. Two additional pages utilize an even wider midsection, giving the comic an eccentric expanding and contracting feel.
Then there's the in-panel art, prone to a curvy sort of caricature, with scenery elements that border on the expressionistic – dig that wiggly drawer balancing the composition! Anyone who knows me is fully aware that I'm the worst person at spotting Golden Age art in the whole of North America's comics readership, so maybe this is some phenomenally well-known talent cashing a Hadacol check anonymously, but it's also possible that a local illustration hand put this thing together in the spirit of just having a go at the form.
Use as directed, kids! Actually, Anderson's book describes a totally different Captain Hadacol — possibly the contents of the otherwise elusive issue #1 — in which Our Man entreats a boy to slam eight consecutive bottles of Hadacol for immediate super-strength. "The alcohol in eight bottles of Hadacol equaled a pint of bonded whiskey," Anderson notes. And while that's coincidentally where my powers come from, apparently in this issue the power of Hadacol has expanded sufficiently to charge a man up 'by the label,' in addition to changing his clothes, thereby suggesting a brand of humor doubtlessly better suited to the Hadacol Caravan.
Here's another iteration of Artist X's layout style, with the interrupted big panel now up top. You're not missing any story reading along in this abridged manner, by the way; it's a totally uninspired genre short, propulsive mainly from its heavy breathing page compositions. Quite a thing for shadows too.
I mean, wow – Captain Hadacol's ready to kick some ass up there! I pretty much came out of this story hoping that nobody else discovers the secret of Hadacol, given what it does.
So, in that apparently everyone is a superhero by way of Hadacol's intervention, I can only conclude that the premise is broadly the same as that of The Boys. And sure enough, Captain Hadacol has the same basic superman look as the Homelander — as well as similar military-corporate interest superheroes from Marshall Law or Power and Glory — down to that faintly Aryan appearance beloved by talents eager to tease Fascist implications from superhero characters, as it takes only a few modifications to go from flat boots to jackboots.
Captain Hadacol isn't a fascist, of course; indeed, while I may be stretching, there's perhaps an interesting ethnic specificity to his costume, its cape seemingly patterned after the blue and white of the Hadacol box, but its overall blue, white and red-striped color scheme, with a single point of gold in the belt buckle, very loosely approximating the colors on the flag of Acadia, from where the Cajun people came (this is not to be confused with the present, similarly-colored Louisiana-specific Acadianan flag, which was not designed until 1965). Given that the costume itself appears to be slipped over a normal dress shirt and slacks, I wonder if Captain Hadacol 'himself' didn't make any promotional appearances at local events?
This is the back of the comic, listing the real treasures boys and girls can discover with Hadacol's aid; this whole 'comic' 'story' business is plainly secondary. In teeny tiny type at the bottom, it also lists a possible date of publication, January of 1951, right at the roaring height of the craze. We can therefore accept Captain Hadacol as exactly the kind of thing all those crafty satiric superheroes comment on, selling stuff to the public out from the seat of authority — perverse, corrupt ideas of 'heroism' or 'justice' to Pat Mills or Garth Ennis, rather than decorous booze — though most of us know that superheroes weren't really so idealistic at birth, certainly not the murderous ones sprung from the pulp tradition (say, Batman).
Still, comics are older than superheroes, just as medicine shows were older than Dudley J. LeBlanc. The most recent (39th) Overstreet guide contains no mention of Captain Hadacol — given that the issue at hand is #2, there was presumably at least a #1, unless LeBlanc was pulling the contemporaneous comic book stunt of starting a run at a higher number to create the illusion of demand for nonexistent early issues — although its lovely Promotional Comics section does mention that comics relating to patent medicine date back into the mid-19th century, much like the American medicine show, a fellow promotional entertainment. The two are thereby historically linked.
Yet look at the differences! If the Hadacol Caravan — at least from the scattered historical record available to me — seemed awfully wry and rightly sophisticated in its rib-poking promotion, Captain Hadacol the comic occupies a promotional area where LeBlanc wasn't kidding around – the comic book form manifested a simple entertainment for kiddies, if potentially enlivened by oddly emphatic art, and ideally facilitated forthright appeals to Mom and Dad. Behold:
It'd probably be in the Hadacol spirit to make a beer muscles joke here, but instead I'll observe that the promotional comic, as opposed to the promotional live jamboree, operates on these pages as appropriate for a naïve form. As the song goes:
my ex she lives near Bayou Blue
and she could not read or write
she just reads comic funny books
every day and every night
but then she took some Hadacol
and it gave her quite a thrill
'cause now she's teaching high school
she's the best in Abbeville
-from Everybody Loves That Hadacol (Cajun Version), as posted above
Ha, you see? Comics are stupid! Adults who read them are STUPID! They're for little kids, everyone knows this, you can reference it in a song and everyone will get the joke! That's why it's the perfect means for kids to deliver these urgent testimonials to their parents – how could a dumb, childish art form like this lie? It's on-the-nose advertising, and in an inappropriate venue for the arguably more mature posture of the more colorful Hadacol hype. In case you can't see the small text:
I must express my honest and sincere thanks to you and the people who discovered the remarkable HADACOL. My little girl, Jean, 7 years old at last birthday, has been weak and underweight since birth. She ate very little at lunch and supper and went to school without eating breakfast. Regardless of how much I coaxed or begged, she just wouldn't eat, was pale and listless. Always complaining, I was afraid to let her out to play because she cried from nervousness. Some of my friends recommended HADACOL. At first, I didn't pay much attention but she grew worse and something had to be done, or, else, she would have to miss school. So she now is on her third bottle of HADACOL. Already my husband and I can tell the world of difference. She eats breakfast and is gaining in weight. She is as spry as a cricket. I cannot praise HADACOL enough. I shall continue to use HADACOL as long as it is sold.
My little daughter, Brenda Sue Miller, had been rundown and had a very poor appetite. She took two bottles of HADACOL. She has been eating better, and she feels better. She is very glad she is taking HADACOL. She is ten years old.
I have given my little five year old girl HADACOL and it has helped her so much. She would not eat much, but after taking two bottles of HADACOL, she eats everything. So, I will keep on giving her HADACOL and I will try some myself.
And, you know, comic books were immature at that time, though superheroes were rapidly hibernating by 1951, in favor of crime and (increasingly) horror comics. And Disney comics and Archie comics, yes, but the nasty stuff caught the attention of society's guardians, terribly concerned for the well-being of susceptible youth.
No worries of this sort from Dudley J. LeBlanc – like Wu-Tang, nearly half a century later, Hadacol is for the children:
I have a little son, 7 years old. He was thin and delicate. He would have one cold after another, had no appetite. Early this Fall, I began giving him HADACOL. I have given him three large bottles. Now, he goes to school regularly and eats twice as much as he did before, sleeps much better, and he has gained weight. I'll continue to use HADACOL and recommend it to others. I can't praise HADACOL enough. I think it is wonderful for both young and old.
I can't praise HADACOL enough, for what it has done for my little girl Melba Jacobs, who is 10 years old. She started taking HADACOL. She was nervous, and rundown, and, didn't have any appetite, and didn't feel like going to school, and she couldn't rest well at night. Since taking HADACOL she eats well, sleeps well, and feels better in every way. Thanks to HADACOL. Her little playmate is taking HADACOL also, after I told him about it.
I can't praise HADACOL enough. My little six year old girl was weak, nervous and rundown. I heard so much about HADACOL and decided to try it. It seemed to help her more than anything. She now eats and seems to enjoy eating. Anyone that has a poor appetite should try HADACOL. I cannot praise HADACOL enough.
My daughter, Marilyn Sue, is 5 years old, and for some time lacked energy, had a poor appetite, was generally rundown. Since giving her HADACOL, we have noticed wonderful results. She has a much better appetite, eats everything on the table, and doesn't seem tired like she used to. Incidentally, she likes to take her HADACOL too.
My little boy is 10 years old and had always been nervous and he didn't sleep well. He has taken 3 bottles of HADACOL, and now he sleeps much better and feels like going to school. He eats like he'll never get enough. I can never praise HADACOL enough.
Man, this is a lot of testimony! How about another song?
Feel free to do the Hadacol Boogie along at home (or an especially liberal workplace), although I think it might be a euphemism for sex. Hey – where do you think kids come from?
Sometime ago, our little boy, James Edgar was so weak. We had to give him liver, and all kinds of food that would build blood. He couldn't run and play. Also, his food hurt him. I heard about HADACOL. I decided to try it. Before I gave him many bottles, I could tell a great difference. He has taken fourteen bottles. He is eleven years old, weighs 92 pounds, plays on the school ball team, rides his bike, runs and plays like other boys, and feels grand, sleeps all night, without waking. I can never praise HADACOL enough. I have recommended it to all my friends and got them to take it. They are thrilled over finding such a fine formula.
I want everyone to know what HADACOL has done for my little six-year old girl. She was weak and rundown. She was so easy to take a cold. So, we decided to try HADACOL on her, and I can't praise it enough. We have given her about ten bottles and are going to give it to her the rest of this winter. She is going to school. I am enclosing a photograph of my little six year old girl, Ruth Munsey. HADACOL has done so much for her.
We have a son, Philip Oren Wood, eight years of age, who became very nervous, and due to this we had to take him out of school. He had no appetite, and could not sleep at night. We were advised to give him HADACOL. He has been taking HADACOL for about two months. He has again entered school, he has a good appetite, and is beginning to sleep as he should. We are thankful for this wonderful discovery.
My little boy, 8 years old, was thin, rundown and was so weak he could not run and play without lying down and resting 2 or 3 times during the day. He would not eat like he should. And, then, I heard about HADACOL for children. So, I began giving him HADACOL. Now, after the first bottle, he eats better, sleeps better and is so full of vim. Just feels fine and plays all the time. I will always keep a bottle on hand.
But she wouldn't have much time to do it. In late 1951, LeBlanc sold his interest in Hadacol to investors up north. Six weeks later, they discovered that Hadacol was in fact in tremendous debt, and distribution soon collapsed amid FTC complaints and mounting criticism of the product's unique not-all-that-healthy approach to diatary supplementation. LeBlanc was saddled with a hefty tax bill, and never again realized that level of success; a non-alcoholic vitamin drink, Kary-On, proved unpopular. However, despite unsuccessful bids for the U.S. Congress and the governorship of Louisiana, he remained popular enough in his home district that he died in office as a state senator, 77 years old in 1971.
In 1952, the year after the end of the Caravan and the fall of Hadacol, a comic book titled Mad debuted from the increasingly notorious comics publisher EC. Under founding editor Harvey Kurtzman, it would bring a skeptic's eye to comic books, something typically reserved for newspaper or magazine cartoons, more favored species of the comics form, devoting itself to cracking the codes of superheroes and advertisements and gala shows and everything else Hadacol and LeBlanc profited from, in part through comics itself.
And then in 1954 the Comics Code Authority was formed, and comic books couldn't speak ill of judges.
Oh well, you know – the seed was planted.
As for Captain Hadacol himself, indulge me this advertisement of my own:
Hell, maybe all my half-formed and tenuous ideas as expressed here will change with a little more Hadacol context. Maybe the discovery of future rip-snortin' Cap'n Hadacol adventures will yet boast a texture unique in promotional funnies; its creator didn't seem the type to leave any ballyhoo hanging in the air without the special grin of a born gamer. But as it stands now, Captain Hadacol is more an oddball exhibit of neat visual qualities speaking to a sophistication that comic books, in their stories and their society, could not embody, and so the joke could only be on them.
Let me sum it all up with a story that appears in nearly every Hadacol-related text, starting with Martin Gardner's 1952 omnibus expose Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science, which I have not read. Accordingly, I'll print the legend.
It so happened that Dudley J. LeBlanc, as Hadacol boomed, was being interviewed by Groucho Marx, whose brother Chico had played/would play the Caravan, which, all things considered, probably provided a nice payday for hard-working performers transitioning away from hot stardom.
At one point, Marx turned to LeBlanc and asked what Hadacol is good for.
"It was good for five and a half million for me last year," LeBlanc replied.
– One million thanks to the Deborah LeBlanc Collection for the wonderful scans and information.

I really can't believe it. I hope Wayne Rooney is ok for the cup!
I was given this as a child due to a under weight condition that my mother (who was over weight) believed I had. Probably I was a normal size in anyone's eyes. I have 5 brothers and I grew to be taller than all 5.(5'10") Though I did gain weight, as an adult I have tall thin structure. I hated this horrible lexer, which I believe caused my tall growth (as an adult I learned to love my height)but being taller than everyone including my brothers and school mates was horrible. This stuff should have been outlawed. Why, No. 1 I am part American Indian(3/4) and giving a child this alcohol based product especially to an American Indian child was criminal! Not blaming my mother, what did they know in that era about such things as FDA approved products. The other side of the equation I have had way above average good health. at age 66 I am on no prescription drugs, and had no illness usual associated age. My brothers and sisters were not given this product,they all have age related illnesses, including they all have cancer in stage 3 and 4. (all 7 siblings) So who is to say, do the pro's out weigh the con's when it comes to Hadicol! I was raised 20 miles from where the first Atomic bomb was exploded in New Mexico. (born 2 months post). My siblings older and younger have cancer related to the atomic fall-out. I also look MUCH younger than 66, can pass for 45 easily. It is what it is!
I simply want to say I am just very new to blogging and site-building and seriously enjoyed you're blog. Likely I'm going to bookmark your site . You amazingly have amazing posts. Cheers for revealing your blog.
Any chance of getting a complete PDF of the Captain Hadacol comic? That would be cool . . .
Even though I had never heard of the "real stuff," I can remember seeing spoofs of the Hadacol craze in animated cartoons of the 50's. One had Daffy Duck as the pitch man for a "muscle building" tonic called "Atomcol," and another with Woody Woodpecker running afoul (a fowl?) of Buzz Buzzard, who was pitching "Had-A-Cough." To Walter Lantz's credit, the artwork in his cartoon made the fictitious nostrum look just as Time magazine described it, "looks like bilge water and tastes worse!"

J.W. Anderson Spring 2013
Jonathan Anderson has had a big fashion week. First of all, there was the launch of his J.W. Anderson x Topshop collaboration, which was stripped bare of tartan trousers and several other items hours after it launched in the High Street store's Oxford Circus branch in London. The commerciality of the bits and pieces in that mini-collection—all the kilts, schoolgirl pinafores, and knits—has been palpable throughout the London shows, where women have been turning up wearing them as trophies.
Then, on Monday, he pulled together a show of his spring collection on the Topshop-shared runway in a tent in Bedford Square. The audience expected nothing less than style leadership from a young designer so many girls relate to.
Did he perform? Yes, to a point. J.W. Anderson tops have always been big sellers. He understands the need for wardrobe staples. In the past, his clothes have been riffs on classics, but this season there was more of a sense of abstraction. Big frills—a motif he used on many items throughout the show—were added to the sliced-to-one-side, asymmetrical knits, on the hems of skirts and shorts. Cleverly, they appeared on his new bags, too: flat, quilted, rectangle-shaped pouches surrounded by flounces, just enough of a fillip of oddness to make them desirable. Also spot-on: the enamel chain-link jewelry in gray, yellow, and pink, used as chokers, pendants, and earrings—reminiscent, maybe, of sixties couture, but utterly now.
It was hard, though, to define what the look is as a whole. Anderson added print—dabs of abstract color and minute flowers—on skinny pants, wrap-over jackets, and crisp shell tops, which, broken down into separates, will sell. There's an entire generation entranced by J.W. Anderson, as the Topshop success proved, and editors vie to shoot his main line for magazines. It deserves to translate to sales at retail, even if the whole isn't quite digestible at first sight. But then again, who knows? Maybe the strange proportions and clunky ankle boots are a sign of things to come.

PARK CITY, Utah — Park City Group, a provider of consumer goods supply chain technology, has tapped food industry insiders Austin Noll Jr. and Richard Juliano to serve on its board. Peter Brennan, who has served on the board since 2009, has announced his retirement from the board for personal reasons. All moves are effective immediately.
The group represents all areas of the retail grocery, convenience, foodservice and discount channels, as well as trading partners and industry groups.
"The addition of Rich and Austin creates a powerhouse board of directors, extending our already impressive reach into retailers, distributors and manufacturers throughout the industry. Through these relationships, we now have access to most of the key executives at leading food and supermarket companies across the country and will use these connections to expand our footprint in the sector," stated Randall Fields, chairman and CEO of Park City Group.
Juliano currently is engaged with the Radian Group, based in Minneapolis, and operates his own consulting firm. He began his career with Giant Eagle Super Markets, becoming the SVP and general manger of the GM/HBC division and then SVP merchandising and marketing of the Phar-Mor division. Juliano then served as EVP at Thrifty Payless Drug and VP marketing and merchandising at Genuardis Family Markets in Philadelphia. Most recently, he was a senior executive at Supervalu, joining the company as EVP supply chain services for the central region and then moving to the corporate retail group as VP of GM/HBC, and ultimately group VP center store merchandising.
Noll is the owner of Austin Noll & Associates, a trade relations and industry affairs consultancy based in New Jersey. Noll started his career with General Foods, spending 22 years in sales related positions. He then became VP trade relations for the grocery division of Borden and was promoted to VP industry and trade relations, before moving to Nabisco as SVP industry and trade relations.

The Linux Foundation posted this on Facebook this morning: "TODAY'S NEWS: Torvalds, Shuttleworth and other Linux/OSS visionaries to be in Barcelona Nov 5-7. Will you be there?" Of course, it links to the press release here.
I would grant you that Linus Torvalds is a visionary — perhaps, arguably, an accidental visionary in the sense that he never expected the kernel he developed would grow into what it has become. But fortunately for everyone involved, Torvalds is a visionary who has kept a significant degree of humility amid the vast contribution to society he has made.
Looking at the lineup in the press release, I would have put Marten Mickos on the release as a "Linux/OSS visionary" instead. Mickos is the MySQL guy, despite the fact that it has gone through a couple of, um, changes since he sold it to Sun in 2008, and is now in the evil clutches of Oracle. Regardless of what it has become now, MySQL is an important piece of FOSS history, and Mickos deserves the visionary label, along with a degree of gratitude for fostering such an important project.
But Shuttleworth? I'm not so sure how he ranks as a visionary. Doing great work in promoting Linux/FOSS in financially backing Ubuntu is commendable and worthy of praise, but this is hardly "visionary." Add to this going off on his own to develop things that are generally not used by the wider FOSS community — Unity and HUD come immediately to mind — and arguably he has done more to stifle progress in the wider FOSS world rather than contribute to its advance. How this is visionary remains to be seen.
Further, I think I can put Shuttleworth's contributions to the wider FOSS paradigm better in perspective with a little help from The Oatmeal here. If Linus Torvalds is Nikola Tesla, then Mark Shuttleworth is Thomas Edison.
No, Linux Foundation, I won't be going to Barcelona for the European version of LinuxCon. But thanks for asking.

Fall 2012 TV Preview: 12 New Shows to Watch Out For
From The Mindy Project to Beauty and the Beast, here are 12 brand new shows to watch out for on television this fall!
-Lucia Peters
Fall may bring the dreaded (if still somewhat exciting) back-to-school time—but it also brings with it something awesome: Brand new television shows! We've rounded up 12 of fall's newest offerings to give you a sneak peek of what you've got to look forward to starting as early as next week. Love mysteries? Want to laugh out loud? Get your thrills from dramas? From The Mindy Project to Beauty and the Beast and from Elementary to The Neighbors, we've got it all right here!
1. 666 Park Avenue (ABC, Sundays at 10pm EST starting September 30)
Based on the novel of the same name by Gabriella Pierce, 666 Park Avenue follows a young couple who have recently moved into a chi-chi Manhattan apartment complex—only to find that its upscale tenants might be possessed by a mysterious demonic force. All of you Lost fans will be happy to see a familiar face in the cast as the building's owner and the show's primary antagonist: Terry O'Quinn, AKA our buddy Locke.
Read 25 Things About Mindy Kaling
2. The Mindy Project (Fox, Tuesdays at 9:30pm EST starting September 25)
The Office's Mindy Kaling strikes out on her own! Created by, written, and starring Mindy as Mindy Lahiri, this new sitcom tracks a skilled OB/GYN as she goes in search of her own perfect romantic comedy ending. Witty, sharp TV from one of the funniest women in showbiz? Count us in! Fun fact: Mindy's real-life mom is an OB/GYN, too.
3. Elementary (CBS, Thursdays at 10pm EST starting on September 27)
Sherlock Holmes, updated and set in New York, starring Jonny Lee Miller as Holmes and Lucy Liu as Watson (Dr. Joan Watson, that is). I'll be honest: I'm skeptical, mostly because the BBC's Sherlock Holmes update, simply called Sherlock, is so brilliant that I'm not sure anything will be able to top it. But I dig the idea of a female Watson (echoes of Joanne Woodward in They Might Be Giants, perhaps?) and Jonny Lee Miller is always fun to watch, so we're giving it the benefit of the doubt.
Up next: Matthew Perry's new project, a re-envisioned fairy tale, and aliens living next door!

It's still football season, and by next year we may have hockey back as well (fingers crossed!). No matter the sport, anyone who enjoys being a spectator from September to March needs something to keep them warm in the chilly weather temperatures – and in some parts of the country, even a heavy jacket just won't cut it. If you're in Green Bay, Buffalo or another city known for its football but not known for its warm winters, the bottom line is that everyone you know needs custom stadium blankets to comfortably brave out a game until the end.
Cold weather games are only one reason that personalized stadium blankets are the perfect Christmas gift. They are really ideal for any group that wants to match when going to a game together: employees, board members, club members or even families. Matching jackets are too expensive and may not be too everyone's taste, so imprinted stadium blankets featuring the team colors and the name of the wearer or organization are a great solution that keeps everyone looking (and feeling!) unified. There's no better way to bring everyone together and get them feeling cozy inside and out this time of year.
People love winter-themed gifts for Christmas, and blankets certainly qualify. But if you think promotional stadium blankets aren't "enough" to show you care, why not make them part of a larger gift package? Consider these fun gift basket themes; any of them would be a charming way to present your group with personalized stadium blankets:
See? These are gifts you can really have fun with! Take a look at our promotional stadium blankets now, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

If there is one hand-held marketing tool that effectively communicates the professionalism of a brand, it is undoubtedly the flash drive. Because flash drives represent the mobility of the modern marketplace, distributing imprinted USB flash drives to your clients, prospects and the press is the perfect way to make sure they associate your brand with competence, efficiency and expertise.
Every time recipients of your personalized USB flash drives make presentations in a meeting, take projects to the printer or plug in the drive to access work documents at home, they can see the name of your company – and that's powerful.
And there's no reason the drives have to be blank, either. Although custom USB flash drives are designed for recipients to use, you can still make sure the drives contain one file for them to open and view. This will ensure that these promotional USB flash drives promote your brand even more. Here are some great ideas for files to put on your imprinted USB flash drives. They can pay off every time you hand the drives out at trade shows or tuck them into press kits:
Any of these ideas make a great conversation piece when talking up a prospect. It is practically impossible to not impress prospects by handing them custom USB flash drives and saying, "Here, take one of these; it includes a great coupon for your first month of service." In fact, if you place your promotional USB flash drives on the trade show table, don't be surprised if people start asking you for them!
Don't worry if they don't want to talk at length when taking one off the table; just make sure your imprinted USB flash drives have your company name and website URL on them, so everyone can go to your site that evening and see what you're all about. That's really the point of personalized USB flash drives; they can effectively get people interested in your brand.

Let's be honest: We all like to hear ourselves talk. But since it isn't always socially appropriate to speak our innermost thoughts in public, many of us can benefit from journaling. Kids may call them diaries, but that doesn't mean adults don't use them too. Journaling is a great way to pass the time, get your thoughts out on paper and experience a few minutes of personal catharsis. And doing it in your own personalized journals? Well, that's even better.
For that reason, many employers are bypassing the cheap box of chocolates and low-value Starbucks cards this Christmas, and opting for a much more personalized employee gift: imprinted journals. They know that ordering custom journals for employees is a far more appreciated gesture. These don't have to be promotional journals (although they can be); instead, some companies are actually ordering a set of imprinted journals with employees' names on the front.
Another option is to go with semi-promotional journals, meaning that while they may have the company name, they may also have the employee names or even company departments on them. There are lots of graphics options for the front of the personalized journals, too, including your company logo or another fun, colorful graphic. There are even wine tasting journals that are perfect gifts for employees who enjoy the finer things in life. That's the beauty of personalized products like custom journals; you can be as creative as you want to be. After all, what boss wants his employees to think he's boring? Fair point, right?
Even if you aren't sure how big your guys are on writing or sipping Chablis, their imprinted journals can be a great tool for them to use in meetings. Imagine the satisfaction you'll feel sitting at the head of the conference table, looking down the line of attentive workers clutching their promotional journals from the company. Your whole team will look so much more professional, and you can be the rising star of upper management for that reason alone. This is going to work out for everyone! Take a look at our dozens of options in custom journals, and see if you don't have a blast getting creative with your order.

It's no secret that typing and texting are popular. But handwriting is still a big part of our daily routine; people still write on Post-its, sign their names and fill out forms every day. No matter what technology becomes mainstream, people will always want, need and use pens.
And imprinted pens? They're as popular as ever. Open up your desk drawer and count how many you have personally; chances are, you have at least two or three. And, it's highly likely that you could name the businesses on your personalized pens without even looking. That means that custom pens make a big impact on people, and it's the reason why you need to distribute promotional pens to your customers, prospects, event attendees and employees.
There's even better news here: Now, there are more choices for promotional pens than ever before. No longer are you relegated to one bland style; instead, you have tons of pen varieties and designs at your disposal. Here are a few of the most popular types of imprinted pens:
Ballpoint pens - These are the time-tested standard bearer in pens – personalized pens and otherwise! Ballpoint pens can be bought affordably in bulk and distributed anywhere as an unforgettable calling card.
Gel pens - People love brightly colored gel pens; the smooth flow of the ink is practically addictive. That alone is a great reason to make gel pens your go-to marketing tool the next time to plan to order custom pens for your business.
Rollerball pens – Speaking of free-flowing ink, rollerball pens have that as well. People love rollerball pens because they can make nearly any handwriting look like neat, precise penmanship. If you aren't sure which kind of promotional pens people will use, trust us: You can't go wrong with rollerball pens.
Magnetic pens - These are super fun. Everyone loves a little gadget for the desk, and a magnetic pen can be that gadget. These pens fit snugly into a magnetic stand that's impossible to resist playing with throughout the day. What better way to keep your business on the minds of clients?
Imprinted pens have always been, and will always be a great marketing tool. Simple, affordable and compact, personalized pens are so handy that the people you give them to will use them forever – and think of you when they do. You can't go wrong with custom pens!

Last Year's Holiday Cards as This Year's Table Runner
Rescue last year's heartfelt wishes by turning them into a festive table runner of winter wonderlands. Place the cards facedown on a color copy machine (they should cover most of the glass). Next, put a piece of colored fabric or paper on top of the cards to serve as a border. Print out multiple copies (enough to cover the length of your table) on 11-by-17-inch paper. With double-stick tape, join the copies along the top and the bottom.

Brevard, N.C. - Gaither Hendrix led all scorers with 22 points and Drew Schauss added 11 of his 17 points in the second half and overtime, but a balanced offensive attack by Anderson, led by Nick Trull's 14 points, paced the Trojans past Brevard in an overtime thriller in Boshamer Gymnasium on Wednesday evening, 66-62.
A pair of free throws by Hendrix in the closing seconds of the second half tied the game up at 55 apiece, sending the two teams into overtime. Hendrix and Schauss combined for all seven of Brevard's (1-8, 0-1 SAC) points in the extra period, but Tyrell McDowell's three-pointer put the Trojans (4-2, 1-0 SAC) ahead for good as the Tornados fell in the South Atlantic Conference opener for both teams.
Hendrix led all players with a game high 22 points in 42 minutes, going 8-for-10 from the free throw line in the loss. Schauss added three three-pointers among his 17 points, while Aleksandar Vasiljevic led the Tornados on the boards with 11 rebounds as Brevard out-rebounded Anderson 38-29. Darius Moose added six points and eight rebounds in the Tornados first SAC action on the season.
Trull led nine Anderson players who scored in the game with 14 points as the Trojans shot 49.1 percent (26-53) from the floor in the contest. Denzail Jones added 13 points and three assists, while Stephen Cobb added eight rebounds and two assists off the bench in the win.
Three-pointers by Trull and Jones helped the Trojans score eight of the first 10 points in the game, but a trey by Schauss and a tear drop floater in the paint by Jermichael Tanner evened the score at eight apiece at the 14:29 mark. The Trojans scored the next six points, going up 14-8 on a pair of Cobb free throws and though Brevard brought the game back within one possession twice on a layup by Hendrix at the 7:42 mark and a pair of Vasiljevic free throws with 5:32 on the clock, Anderson went on a 10-4 run to go into the halftime break with the 26-20 lead.
The Trojans built their largest lead of the game at the 16:17 mark on a jumper by Jones from the left wing, going up 34-22. Back-to-back three-pointers by Gerel Simmons and Dominique Pickett, followed by a pair of free throws by Michael Gist, cut the lead back to within single digits at 38-30 with 14:28 to play.
Brevard brought the game all the way back to within one point at the 7:34 mark as Hendrix connected on a three-pointer to cut the lead down to 46-45, before Brevard took their first lead of the half on a layup by Schauss four minutes later, putting the Tornados up 51-50 with 3:22 to play. A free throw by Jones tied the game up and Shugart and Vasiljevic traded jumpers in the paint before Cobb gave the Trojans the 55-53 lead with 39 seconds to play.
Hendrix followed with a pair of free throws to knot the game up and Trull's shot at the buzzer fell short, sending the teams into overtime.
McDowell hit a three-pointer from the left wing on the opening possession to put the Trojans up 58-55 and Shugart hit a turnaround jumper in the paint to extend the lead to five with 3:57 to play. Hendrix answered with a pair of free throws, but after Schauss and Trull matched each other with three-pointers, Cobb hit a jumper and Trull connected on a free throw to put the game away as Brevard fell in their SAC opener, 66-62.
Brevard remains at home as they welcome #23 Tusculum College to Boshamer Gymnasium on Saturday, December 3rd. The Brevard Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is hosting their annual toy drive for the Toys For Tots organization at the game, with free admission given to any fan who brings a brand-new toy to contribute to the drive. Tipoff for the South Atlantic Conference game between the Tornados and the Pioneers is set for 4 p.m.

Thomson Reuters, Collexis, university partner to launch Hydrogen Fuel Research Dashboard
Collexis Holdings Inc., a leading developer of semantic search and knowledge discovery software, announced the launch of the world's first Hydrogen Fuel Knowledge Dashboard made possible through a partnership with Thomson Reuters and the University of South Carolina.
This partnership brings together the Collexis proprietary technology, Web of Science data from Thomson Reuters and the institutional subject matter expertise from the University of South Carolina.
"The University of South Carolina is very proud to play an integral role in the development of the Hydrogen Fuel Knowledge Dashboard. Together with our partners at Thomson Reuters and Collexis we have created a pioneering and robust application that will help our research community greatly improve the effectiveness of research through its unique trend analysis and hypothesis generation in the Hydrogen Fuel area," states Dr. Harris Pastides, President of the University of South Carolina.
"This partnership represents a unique opportunity for all of us. The Science business of Thomson Reuters has the leading content in alternative energy. The University of South Carolina has pulled together the top echelon of scientific minds from around the world to study alternative energy sources and to drive development of new applications, and Collexis has the key software to combine brainpower and content into unique discovery tools," said Bill Kirkland, Chief Executive Officer of Collexis. "The Hydrogen Fuel Research Dashboard demonstrates how cooperation between academic research leaders and the private sector can create new technologies to address our energy challenges."
"Investigating alternative energy sources has become a priority for researchers around the world," said Keith MacGregor, executive vice president of Academic and Government Markets at Thomson Reuters.
"The Hydrogen Fuel Research Dashboard combines the data and analysis to pave the way toward innovative solutions."
SC Launch, an SCRA affiliate, provided Collexis with early-stage seed funding to assist the company with product development. Additionally, SC Launch helped drive the collaboration among Collexis and the University of South Carolina. "The Collexis Hydrogen Fuel Research Dashboard is a perfect fit with the SC Launch mission to help commercialize alternative energy research licensed through our SC research university foundations," said Bill Mahoney, SCRA Chief Executive Officer. "The Dashboard illustrates how collaboration among the SC Centers of Economic Excellence, SCRA and a commercial landing party, Collexis, supports the state's innovation pipeline and accelerates knowledge-based economic development in South Carolina."
The Collexis Knowledge Dashboard approach to key subject areas has become popular with research intensive institutions including Johns Hopkins, the National Institutes of Health and the University of South Carolina as they seek to provide their research community with new and innovative tools to enhance their research effectiveness and collaboration.
The Hydrogen Fuel Knowledge Dashboard will be showcased at the upcoming National Hydrogen Association Conference and Expo to be held on March 30 - April 2 in Columbia, SC, near the University South Carolina campus.
