awaddell needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 68 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
We want a landing page that will define our brand. The landing page (home page) will contain background and other images that will be re-used in a site template.
The landing page will also contain a sizeable image that will be updated regularly with an evolving theme and the latest specials or marketing information.
Jubilant Broadband
We are launching a new broadband ISP. The theme for this ISP is affordability, performance and low cost in these difficult times. In other words - good news and a reason to 'Be Jubilant'
We want a PSD that we can take to psd2html.com to have a template created.
We are offering a very simple product and this should be reflected in the web page.
I want a 60's theme that is clean and uncluttered. We don't have multiple products and we want what we have (which is a great product) to stand out.
My aim is to get things 95% right - I expect to be coming back to 99 Designs on a regular basis to update and 'increment'' the site.
Hopefully, that will just be updates of the images (no change to image size) which means it's important to get the look-and-feel and background done right here so that we don't have to modify the site template or CSS too often.
UPDATE 24th April: For the main image, I would like a party cake with 10 candles and the text "10 Years Young" and in small text, "parent company legion.com.au pty ltd celebrates 10 years as a wholesaler of ISP services by being Jubilant!"
This is our brand launch but we want our customers to know we are experienced.
- A Jubilant feeling. I like a 60's or early 70's look
- This is the look I want: http://99designs.com/contests/20355 note the 'jubilant' party feel
- Please see out logo http://99designs.com/contests/20258/entries/224

- Simplicity. Main image that will be replaced regularly. The main image will be the highlight and will advertise our latest deal.
- for the layout of the landing page, look at https://www.bethere.co.uk/ I don't want to copy this site - I just want a central image, centred page, 3 boxes underneath plus the number checker
- I also want a deep footer in grey
- The page should make use of red, black and gold and should be bright and reasonably in-your-face
- http://www.jbhifi.com.au/ is a bright in-your-face example
- I'd also like the boxed data from the 3 boxes in text at the top of the page. That will be good for SEO
- Big fonts. Think Web2.0 look.
- Colours should be optimised for web
- The central image, which we will replace regularly with the latest themes and specials, should be a party theme. It should read 'Be Jubilant Today' and in smaller text 'Phone and Broadband: simple - affordable - fast'Please handover 2PSDs
- a landing page made up of the background with the central image, 3 boxes and number checker box, header and footer
- a template made up of just the background, header and footer
- Clutter and complexity
- Unidentifiable theme - the theme should resonate with a broad demographic and I think young people get the 60's look as well as oldies

Conditions covered all ranges of flying scot racing. After waiting out a passing storm in a postponement before the first start we headed out on the bay only to have the first race abandoned when the wind quit on us. The breeze did fill in and we had 2 races in 5 to 10 mph of breeze on Saturday afternoon. Dinner at the squadron was plentiful. Sunday we were greeted with a sparkling day with winds about 15 – 18 mph. We got in 3 good races with full out hiking upwind and hair raising rides down wind. Congrats to Zeke & Jay Horowitz on a well deserved win. They were pushed in the regatta by Jeff and Amy Linton. Full results can be found at fssa.com. Thank you to Cindy Clifton and crew for a great job with the race committee and to the volunteers from the Sarasota Sailing Squadron for helping out with launching boats, manning the gate and serving food.

Yesterday was my son's first T-ball practice. I don't know who was more psyched, Javier or I. Jav is a great kid but an only child and very competitive, hence a team sport sounded like a great idea. I figured he could learn new skills and get some exercise while learning how to be part of a team and win and lose with grace (I hope). Adding to the fun last night was Lola Paloma, our new Doxie-Pin pup, who loved the idea of hanging out at the park on a breezy evening watching her new boy catch his first ground ball.
As the boys hit the field, Lola and I settled into the bleachers with the rest of the parents and a smattering of younger siblings. One of the tots was an adorable curly-haired three-year-old (let's just call her Suzie) whose eyes lit up the minute she saw Lola. I was happy to introduce them. I told her to let Lola smell her hand, then pet her softly, never tugging or letting their faces get too close. This is the standard speech I give Jav and all little kids when around animals because it's always best to err on the side of caution. Little did I know that while I was teaching Suzie the ins and outs of pet safety, I was inadvertently signing up to be her accidental babysitter.
As it turned out, Suzie's mom was on the phone for most of the practice. When she finally hung up after almost an hour, I was relieved. I was dying to take my eyes off Suzie and Lola and fix them on the field, so I could cheer on Jav as he threw his first pitch. You can imagine my shock when Suzie's mom stayed put on the other side of the bleachers, turned to some of the other parents, and struck up a conversation. It didn't occur to her to collect her little girl, let alone relieve me of the duty of caring for Little Miss Suzie.
When I noticed the coach was starting to wrap up practice, I turned to the Suzie and asked her to hit the road—nicely. I sweetly suggested that perhaps we give Lola a break. I told her the pup seemed tired. I assured Suzie that Lola would be coming to lots of practices and games, and the two of them would have ample opportunities to romp together.
Whether this exact scenario has played out in your life yet, chances are it will. I was at our neighborhood pool this summer and a woman was so engrossed in her romance novel, she barely looked up twice all day to check on her swimming child, let alone jump in the pool and join the fun with him.
This whole notion of taking a quick time-out from our kids is understandable to some degree. I'm a single working mom, so I totally get the feeling of relief that can sweep over you when you're spontaneously given a respite from the responsibilities of parenting. Realizing your kid has found a way to entertain herself can feel like a gift from the heavens. But I draw a line when it comes to strangers, let alone a dog. Nine-pound pups like mine are playful and adorable, but pull their tail too hard and they will defend themselves. Is it too much to ask that you hang up the phone, walk over and take back the reins as the responsible adult?
I don't know what happened in that woman's life yesterday. For all I know, she received some bad news and was venting to her friend on the phone. Maybe she was on hold with her insurance company, or her divorce lawyer. I was willing to give Suzie's mom the benefit of the doubt—until she hung up and still opted not to look after her daughter.
For now, I'm going to assume that Suzie's mom did not realize how I helped her out yesterday (or that she owes me babysitting money—ha!). I will assume that if she were to know all this, she would feel terrible. Who knows? Maybe we'll be friends by the end of the season, and she'll volunteer to be Lola's pet-sitter when we go on vacation. But I'm not hedging any bets…would you? What do you think of parents who ask strangers to pinch-hit for them?

Rosacea Inflicts Both Physical Discomfort and Visible Effects, New Survey Shows
BARRINGTON, Illinois (September 25, 2012) — While the conspicuous red face and blemishes of rosacea can be embarrassing enough, they tell only part of the story as a new survey conducted by the National Rosacea Society (NRS) shows that significant physical discomfort often accompanies the visible signs of this widespread disorder now estimated to affect more than 16 million Americans.
In the NRS survey of 1,709 rosacea patients, nearly 93 percent said they had experienced physical discomfort as a result of the disorder. A burning sensation was the most commonly cited, named by 76 percent of the respondents. Itching was reported by two-thirds of the patients, followed closely by stinging, mentioned by 61 percent.
Among the other physical discomforts experienced by the survey participants were tightness, cited by 45 percent; swelling, named by 44 percent; tenderness, mentioned by 41 percent; tingling, 32 percent; prickling, 25 percent; and headache, 19 percent.
"The physical pain of rosacea is often overshadowed by the changes in appearance and the emotional impact of the condition, but all aspects deserve to be addressed," said Dr. Julie Harper, clinical associate professor of dermatology at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. "Ideally, medical therapy combined with avoidance of individual triggers can help to bring about a remission of symptoms, which will reduce both the emotional and physical toll of the disorder."
The cheeks were the most common site for rosacea-related discomfort, named by 85 percent of the respondents, followed by the nose, cited by 58 percent. The eyes were another commonly affected site, mentioned by 45 percent, while the chin and forehead were reported by 42 percent each. Other affected areas included the scalp, named by 21 percent; the neck, 18 percent; the ears, 15 percent; and behind the ears, 11 percent.
As might be expected, those with subtype 3 (phymatous) rosacea, which often includes swelling of the nose, reported that the nose was the most frequent site of physical discomfort. Those with the eye symptoms of subtype 4 (ocular) rosacea noted that the eyes and cheeks were equally affected by physical discomfort.
Seventy-one percent of those answering the survey said that medical therapy has improved their outward signs of rosacea, while nearly 70 percent reported that it also reduced their physical discomfort.
"In addition to medical therapy, a gentle skin-care routine with products that are designed specifically for sensitive skin may alleviate some of the physical discomfort associated with rosacea," Dr. Harper said. "Your dermatologist should be able to help you select those that work best for your individual case."
Rosacea is a chronic disorder that is often characterized by flare-ups and remissions. It typically begins at any time after age 30 as a flushing or redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that may come and go. Over time, the redness tends to become ruddier and more persistent, and visible blood vessels may appear. Without treatment, bumps and pimples often develop, and in severe cases the nose may become swollen and bumpy from excess tissue. Burning and stinging are common, and in many patients the eyes are also affected, feeling irritated and appearing watery or bloodshot.
Comprehensive information and materials on rosacea are available on the NRS website at www.rosacea.org. Information may also be obtained by writing the National Rosacea Society, 196 James Street, Barrington, Illinois 60010, via email at email@example.com or by calling its toll-free number at 1-888-NO-BLUSH.

Nadal asks for understanding
Rafael Nadal called for greater understanding from umpires after once again falling foul of the time violation rules.
Players are not supposed to take more than 20 seconds between points at grand slams but Nadal, with his many ticks and foibles, often strays outside that limit.
Umpires began cracking down on abuses last season and Nadal has been warned repeatedly.
It happened again during his fourth-round clash with Kei Nishikori at the Australian Open on Monday, most notably at a crucial stage of the third set.
With Nadal serving at 4-4 and deuce, he was warned by umpire Eva Asderaki for a second time and briefly lost his cool.
He dropped his serve but broke Nishikori back straight away and went on to win the match 7-6 (7/3) 7-5 7-6 (7/3).
Nadal said: "The negative thing in my opinion is not the warning. The negative thing is the moment. You can choose another moment to do it, not that one.
"Another thing is she didn't advise me before the second warning that I was still going slow.
"We need referees who understand the game. The rules cannot go against the good show.
"I accept the rules. Sometimes I am wrong. Sometimes I am too slow and I accept that. I'm going to try to go quicker for the future."
Every set lasted more than an hour, with Nadal having to show off his legendary battling qualities rather than the sublime form he demonstrated in crushing Gael Monfils on Saturday night.
It was a troublesome afternoon for the world number one, who needed treatment for a large blister on his hand and broke a shoelace in taking a tumble, requiring a trip off court for a new pair of shoes.
He said: "The feeling was not the same (as the Monfils match). It was a little bit worse, my feeling.
"He was able to play more inside the court. I think I played a little bit too short. The other day I was able to hit longer and to take advantage with my shots.
"But the victory of today has much more value than the victory of two days ago. Because when you are playing that good, the normal thing is to win.
"I think the concentration for me was okay the whole match. I played very focused, fighting for every ball.
"Kei played a fantastic match, just a few mistakes in some moments that were tough ones. But for the rest he played very aggressive, he went for his shots.
"He came on court with determination to take the ball very early and go for winners. He really had the right feelings to do it. It was a tough match, a very important win. I'm very happy."
In the quarter-finals, Nadal will face Grigor Dimitrov, who continued to blossom at his breakthrough grand slam with a 6-3 3-6 6-2 6-4 victory over Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut.
The Bulgarian, who has made it further in the tournament than girlfriend Maria Sharapova, said: "I'm really happy to be out there in the quarter-finals but I'm not even close to satisfaction.
"I've been working really hard in the past year, especially in the off-season, so it's nice to see that result.
"I'm really looking forward to the match. I just want to put myself into a good position to play matches like that more often. So that's what I'm working for."
Nadal has won all their three previous matches but each of them has been close.
"I had tough battles with him in the past," said Dimitrov. "There were always little things missing. But I'm quite happy with the way I'm performing so far, so I like my chances."

Back by popular demand, these timeless, scary and spine-tingling thrillers are collected together for young readers.
Over 140 spine-tingling tales from the hills of the Missouri Valley, the mesas of Texas, the great plains, the swamps of the Bayou and even the cities of California. These classic, timeless ghost stories range from the Monster of Mongollon Run, to the Blue Lady, to the Wolf Girl to Haunted places, to Native American spirits and to ghostly lights.
Young or old, playful or terrifying, clad in the brocades of the 16th century or the jeans of today, the phantoms of these tales vary as much as the places they haunt. Whatever their demeanor, wherever they are, however their actions are explained or dismissed, these ghosts have a common power: anyone reading this anthology will see that they still haunt us today.
More than 100 tales of the supernatural, drawn from Tidewater Virginia to the Lone Star State, are included in this collection. The author, W.K. McNeil's introduction traces themes peculiar to the South, such as the screaming bridge and the levitating railroad light. Line drawings contribute to the mood of the stories and an index references various Southern localities by town and state.
Twenty-three original, horrific tales of vengeful spirits and nefarious supernatural creatures are made all the more sinister by the comfortable, contemporary settings of these cold-blooded tales.
There are trees that walk, statues that accuse, and white-faced ticket-takers with gentle names like Dave that send people on very long journeys. These stories are short, creepy, and perfect for reading around a campfire when the sky is full of stars.
In this collection of eerie tales, a ghostly gazetteer chronicles the numerous contemporary accounts of Northwestern hauntings and other strange happenings reported around British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. The typical Northwestern ghost almost always appears alone, in the form of a faint, often grayish wisp.

Beyond FISCO - a fieldbus that won't fail you when dealing with hazards
Explore a fieldbus system that doesn't fall short when dealing with hazardous environments often encountered in many chemical, pharmaceutical, plastics and petroleum plants.
As one of the more successful communication protocols for process control and industrial automation, fieldbus has proven its merit in bringing projects on-line earlier and more efficiently, allowing advanced digital feedback and control to processing plants previously stuck in the analog age. This allowed far more exacting process control, greater autonomy of control loops, accurate trending, greater centralized monitoring, and lower installation costs through easier wiring and faster commissioning. However, when it came to the hazardous environments often encountered in many chemical, pharmaceutical, plastics and petroleum plants, fieldbus initially fell short when intrinsically safe techniques were required.
Users of intrinsically safe devices in conventional control schemes have been used to the flexibility and ease of use afforded by the Entity Concept since the late 1980s. FM in the US led the way in simplifying the process of confirming the safety of intrinsically safe loops and the Entity Concept now governs how every non-fieldbus IS loop is designed and documented.
Initially, fieldbus implementations went the same way: use a conventional IS interface, apply the industry-standard Entity Concept and the loop (now a segment) would be safe. The problem was conventional IS interfaces under the Entity Concept allowed only 80mA or so, barely enough to drive four devices at an average draw of 20mA per device. Fieldbus segments with only 4 devices somewhat defeated the point of early fieldbus justifications; plants still had lots of cable, and hardware costs went up.
Technology stepped up to the challenge in the form of FISCO (Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe Concept) which was developed in the late 1990s. Work in Germany had established that if cables and device parameters were defined by boundary values, modern electronic current-limiting designs could allow more current and still remain intrinsically safe. By taking advantage of this new technology, FISCO succeed in making more current available in hazardous locations—a full 115mA in worst-case (hydrogen) areas, enough to comfortably drive five devices, rather than the 80mA (4 devices) allowed by the Entity Concept.
Improvement, indeed. Yet FISCO makes this incremental gain at the expense of operational limitations because these units are complex pieces of electronics, generally based on switch-mode power supplies with duplicated current-limiting networks. This complex circuitry creates more heat and reduces unit reliability (complexity = more components = lower MTBF). Furthermore, a primary requirement of FISCO design is that the maximum allowable trunk and spur lengths fall from 1900m to 1000m, and from 120m to 30m, respectively. In addition, all devices and cable must be FISCO-compatible, further limiting choices in installing fieldbus networks.
For some time then, many I & C engineers have been searching for a new solution that would allow them to maximize intrinsically-safe segment capacity and operational ease within hazardous applications to the same level currently enjoyed within non-hazardous implementations.
The split architecture solution
At last, technology has come through once again with a solution. The capacity barrier of FISCO has now been significantly surpassed by a novel split architecture design that has already proven itself in the field.
Engineers at MooreHawkea division of Moore Industries-International, interface solution experts based in North Hills, Californiadeveloped this new technology by reexamining traditional approaches to pushing the capacity limits of intrinsically safe segments.
It quickly became evident that the primary cause of low segment power in fieldbus applications was the placement of the main current-limiting resistor at the point of highest current: the IS interface between the safe area and the hazardous area.
In response, MooreHawke developed a split architecture approach using a field-mounted device coupler, and an associated power supply with a safe-area interface. Here, the total resistance requirement is obtained via a split resistance; a small resistor is used in the IS interface and a larger resistor is placed in the field device coupler. The small (trunk) resistor 'sees' a large current (sum of all devices), but only generates a small voltage drop. The larger (spur) resistor 'sees' a small current (single device) and so only generates a small voltage drop.
Subsequently approved by the FM (US) and SIRA (ATEX) certifying organizations, this design enables intrinsically safe fieldbus segments to support up to 350mAenough to power 16 devices at 500m while still being intrinsically safe for hydrogen at the individual spur connection. This allows fieldbus designs to be just as cost-effective and efficient in hazardous locations as it has been in non-hazardous applications.
In terms of reliability, the split-architecture power supply steps around the complexity associated with FISCO circuits by the use of a conventional wire-wound resistor which, in IS terms, is deemed to be infallible. To further augment the overall systems reliability, the MooreHawke design also incorporates full AC/DC power conversion, simple linear power supply, and full galvanic isolation, with built in redundant supplies. Here again, fewer components translate into greater reliability. MTBFs (AKA MTTF) rise.
Entity Parameters
One of the advantages claimed for FISCO systems is that if the design uses a FISCO Power Supply, FISCO-approved devices, and FISCO-marked cable within the FISCO length limitations, then the segment meets the FISCO requirements and no Entity Parameter calculations need be done—a previously laborious process employed to confirm that the inherent energy storage in any device, plus its connecting cable, were within the allowable parameters in that particular hazardous environment. FISCO removes that issue to save hundreds of man-hours, especially since no-recalculation need be performed should additional devices be added to a segment; a not uncommon event in most facilities.

Louis Armstrong New Orleans
International Airport has achieved some significant milestones in the first
quarter of 2014. First and foremost, forward progress on the development of the
new $826 million North Terminal has taken flight. On January 16, 2014, New
Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu joined the New Orleans Aviation Board (NOAB) and
the Long Term Infrastructure Development Project Team to showcase the
conceptual renderings of the new north terminal complex. The terminal concepts
are the creation of world renowned architect Cesar Pelli, New Orleans' William
Raymond Manning of Manning Architects, Atkins Global and Leo A. Daly, the
project design team for the north terminal project. The new "World Class" north
terminal conceptual renderings and terminal animation can be viewed on our
website, www.flymsy.com.
Prior to this announcement, on
December 30, 2013, another major milestone paved the way for the terminal
project to move forward. On this date, the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) issued a Finding of No Significant Impact/Record of Decision (FONSI/ROD)
for the Environmental Assessment completed in connection with the proposed
north relocation of the terminal complex at Louis Armstrong New Orleans
International Airport. The FONSI/ROD is based on the findings and
determinations contained in the Final Environmental Assessment (EA) completed
in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).Next to
come will be the funding of the project. Funding sources may include Federal
Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program (FAA AIP) grants,
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) grants, Louisiana State Aviation
Trust Fund grants, Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) collections, General Airport
Revenue Bonds, Aviation Board Capital Funds with no investment by the City of
New Orleans.
The building of the new terminal will
create over 13,000 jobs in construction and numerous business opportunities for
local and Louisiana businesses. On February 17, 2014, Mayor Landrieu was again
joined by the Aviation Board as well as members of the project team at a
special Business Opportunity outreach event that outlined the project components
and its business potentials for hopefully numerous firms in the region. The
NOAB would like to see local Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) also participate
in the terminal construction. All projects, contracts or service agreements
entered with the NOAB require that there be a certain percentage of DBE
participation. The soon to be released solicitation announcements for the
project will follow the regular Federal, State and City guidelines required for
posting solicitations for bids. Any and all questions concerning contracts,
service agreements or open solicitations should always be sent to our
procurement office at email@example.com.
The decision to build a new terminal
was a strategic business move to further improve the economic value of the
airport to our communities. It is not a project in response to outgrowing the
existing terminal and needing more space neither is it a decision based in
aesthetics, it is the result however of a strategy to increase non-airline
revenue, decrease airline costs and gain more air service as a result so that
our community would be more connected through air service with the rest of the
world. Better connectivity through air service has brought significant economic
development to cities like Atlanta,
Chicago and Houston and we wish the same for our region.
In air service news, we were pleased
to announce a new non-stop international destination, which is the third
international destination announced in the past three years. Inaugural
non-stop seasonal flights will begin May 17, 2014 to Montego Bay, Jamaica. Travellers can book their reservations on www.vacationexpress.com, which is
operating the flight and is one of the
largest tour operators in the southeast United States with over 22 years'
experience in the charter business. The Jamaican service will include a six
night stay that departs on Saturdays with an early morning departure and a late
afternoon return, hopefully giving vacationers more beach time on the first and
last night of the vacation. The new air service to this popular Caribbean
destination will be aboard a Miami Air B737-700 aircraft that has a seating
capacity of 150 passengers (8 first class and 142 coach seats). Last summer,
vacationexpress.com successfully offered a non-stop flight from New Orleans to Cancun,
Mexico. They were so pleased with the response that they are resuming the flight
option with an increased frequency of twice weekly flights.
Louis Armstrong New Orleans
International Airport is a critical asset for the City of New Orleans, the
state and the region. It currently carries approximately 80% of the state's
enplanements, provides over 12,450 direct and indirect jobs for the community
and facilitates over $2.6 billion in tourism spending. In 2013, the Airport
welcomed over 9 million passengers through its doors, while continuing to serve
as an important gateway to the New Orleans market and the Gulf South Region. As
we move forward in the year, the NOAB looks forward to reaching additional
milestones of progress in its quest to provide a world class airport for our

Somehow, someway, I didn't make it out to A.N.D. Cafe, one of Portland's newer vegetarian spots, until last month. When it comes to brunch, which is currently the main focus at the all-vegetarian and just-as-vegan-friendly spot on East Burnside & 54th, I like to have my options within a 10-minute walking radius. It's a laid back affair that I'm not very likely to cross town for; I can barely remember the last time I brunched at Blossoming Lotus. I welcomely get stuck in the SE Portland Juniors and Jam vortex, for better and worse, with some Portobello thrown in for good measure (I'm going to forget Hungry Tiger Too, really, my last meal there was dismal).
Anywhoo, I had been meaning to check out A.N.D. Cafe, the sit-down, weekend spot from Off The Griddle's owners, Ashley and Dan, since its opening, but with short hours, only so many brunch outings in my busy life and that whole not-in-my-neighborhood thing, it was put on delay until a wild day J. Legume and I were running massive, rent-a-car worthy errands, and it was at the top of our destination brunch list.
Photos from the very cozy eatery and our lovely meal at the windowsill bar are below – and I'm happy to share that those hours, the location, and both businesses are seemingly expanding with the potential success of the A.N.D./Off the Griddle special merger Kickstarter campaign.
The solar-powered veggie burger cart is now closed while plans commence, while the cafe remains open.You can check out the menu online and keep your eyes peeled for the daily specials while you're there, which my friends rave about.

The Central Connecticut men's indoor track & field team had an impressive showing at the University of Connecticut Winter Invitational. The University of Connecticut won the invitational with a score of 90 followed by second place Southern Connecticut (33.33), and third place Central (18.60). The event took place on a warm winter Saturday in Storrs, CT on January 7.
Headlining the men's 55 meter dash was Blue Devil Junior Aaron Radden who set the Central Connecticut school record with an impressive time of 6.36. The record was previously 6.44 held by Conroy Davis in 1992, a record that stood for 20 years. Also competing in the even was junior Dan hopper who finished sixth (6.68) and senior Harry Lewis who finished eighth (6.74).
Leading the pack for the Blue Devils in the 400 meter dash was junior Nick Lindblom who clocked in at 51.88, good for sixth place. Sophomore Ryan Budd placed seventh (52.83).
In the 600 meter run, Joey Farrington and senior Mike Waterbury placed sixth (1:23.60) and seventh (1:28.04) respectively.
Claiming the third place seat in the 1000 meter run was Colby Delbene who finished with a time of 2:30.10. Senior Robert Weston finished fifth (2:33.04).
Senior Sam Alexander notched a fourth place finish (4:19.26) in the 1 mile run. Junior Craig Hunt ran the event in 4:19.83, finishing right behind Alexander in the fifth spot.
Central's 'A' team finished third (5:07.13) in the 2200 sprint medley.
Senior Nick Trifone jumped his way to a share of fourth place (1.90m) in the high jump event. Also finishing tied for fourth in the event was Trifone's Blue Devil teammate freshman Greg Andrade with the same 1.90m mark.
In the long jump, senior Matt Berube finished with a distance of 6.73m, good for fifth place.
Berube was the runner-up in the triple jump posting a distance of 13.82m. Junior Keith Boyd-Carter placed fourth (13.57m) in the event and Andrade fifth (13.49m).
The Blue Devils were led in the throwing events by Senior Rashad Williams who placed second (15.91m) in the weight throw and fourth (15.98m) in the shot put.
Central Connecticut will be back in action again on Saturday, January 14 at the Yale Invitational. The event will take place at Yale in New Haven, CT.

The eleven Irish couples hoodwinked by an alleged adoption scam in Mexico told the press yesterday they have been devastated by the affair.
Speaking to the Irish Examiner, the families, who returned to Ireland last weekend, claim they strongly believed they were acting within the limits of the law.
Meanwhile, the lawyer at the centre of the baby trafficking plot remains on the run as offices belonging to the Lopez Y Lopez firm in Guadalajara, Mexico have been raided and six employees detained by local police.
Authorities say that Carlos Lopez, who reportedly arranged for the adoption of up to 60 children from Mexico to Ireland since 2004, is now wanted in connection with the apparent trafficking scam.

Green Card: Can I adopt from Ireland?

Adopted Irish children using Facebook to contact parents
Each of the 11 Irish couples, who range in age from their 30s to 40s and who mostly hail from from Dublin, reportedly followed official Mexican adoption rules to the letter and they remained in the country after the scandal broke only to give official statements to the authorities.
Carlos Montoya, a lawyer from Guadalajara, told the Examiner: 'Naturally all the families are devastated with the turn of events. All the families believed they were involved in public, Hague-compliant, legal adoptions. All families had valid Declarations to Adopt from Mexico as issued by the Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI).'
"I can tell you this much: they are innocent," added Montoya. "They tried to adopt children legally. They did not know what was going on, they had no suspicions of wrongdoing and they called the Irish embassy when police started asking questions."
As details of the scandal emerged it was discovered that a US-based adoption agency put the Irish couples in contact with Lopez. The scam involved the Mexican mothers of the babies being paid about $755 dollars for their youngsters to take part in bogus photoshoots for a number of days.
But instead of being a legitimate operation, the babies were being groomed for trafficking in illegal adoption.
Prosecutors now believe that childless Irish couples were charged steep expenses to cover medical bills, lawyers' fees, nanny services, and expensive apartment charges, up to a total of $30,000 US dollars each.
A spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs told the press this week that the couples remained in Mexico only to give statements. To date no Irish couples have been arrested.

Adele Jackson-Gibson Makes Five Saves In First Career Start
PHILADELPHIA - It was a good day all-around for the Yale women's soccer team. Becky Brown and Kristen Forster scored, and Adele Jackson-Gibson made five saves in goal in her first career start as Yale edged Penn 2-1 on a rainy afternoon at Rhodes Field.
Meanwhile, in Cambridge, Mass., Princeton got a goal late in the second half to edge Harvard 1-0. As a result, the Bulldogs and Crimson are back in a first-place tie in the Ivy League.
Yale's defense did an outstanding job frustrating Penn's Jessica Fuccello, who came into the game second in the nation with 16 goals. She did not register a shot and was given two yellow cards in a three-minute span of the second half and as a result, ejected from the game.
"It was a tremendous team effort," said Yale head coach Rudy Meredith. "We had only 15 healthy bodies so we needed contributions from everybody. The leadership from our seniors has been outstanding."
The Bulldogs (9-5, 4-1 Ivy) jumped on the board at 21:01 when Brown took a ball along the left side from Kristen Forster and easily beat Quaker goalkeeper Gina Winters with a shot to the far post. It was Brown's 12th goal of the season.
She almost netted another one just seconds into the second half when she rocketed a shot that beat Winters but rang off the crossbar.
Yale, though, got a much-needed insurance goal midway through the second half. Mary Kubiuk played a ball into the front of the goalmouth. Forster stopped it about 10 yards from the net, beat a defender, and shot one past Winters' right.
"We had two quality goals," Meredith said.
Sarah Friedman scored for the Quakers (8-4-2, 2-3 Ivy) on a free kick at 81:24 and Penn nearly tied it a minute later, but Jackson-Gibson snared an Alex Dayneka shot from right in front.
"Adele played a tremendous game in very inclement weather," Meredith said. "She held down a very high-scoring team."
The Quakers had scored 32 goals entering the day.
The Bulldogs outshot Penn 12-10.
Yale is back in action next Friday at Columbia. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m.

If you need printing options that you don't have on your desktop printer, you can take your publication to a commercial printer that can reproduce your work on an offset printing press or a high-quality digital printer.
For example, you might want to print a publication in larger quantities, print on special papers (such as vellum or card stock), or use binding, trimming, and finishing options.
If you need hundreds of copies or even thousands, a commercial printer may be the most economical and efficient way to print your publication.
Microsoft Office Publisher 2007 has many features that can make it much easier for commercial printers and copy shops to prepare your publication for the printing process. The following tips will help you prepare your publication for output by a commercial printer or copy shop.
In this article
Tip 4: Make sure that your publication pages are the correct size
Tip 10: Use the Pack and Go Wizard to prepare your publication file
Tip 1: Discuss your project with your commercial printer
Consult with your commercial printer before and during the design process to save time and money later. Before you start your project, describe your project and goals, and find out your printer's requirements.
Before you create your publication, discuss the following:
Ask whether the printer accepts Publisher files. If you can't locate a commercial printer who does, you can ask about other ways to submit your publication for printing. Most commercial printers accept PostScript files or PDF files, and they will provide instructions on how to create these files from your publication.
Tell the printer about your project's printing needs, such as quantity, quality, paper stock, paper size, recommended color model, binding, folding, trimming, budget, file size limitations, and deadlines. Always ask if the printer has the items that you want in stock.
Let the printer know whether your publication will include scanned pictures, and if so, whether you will scan them yourself or have a commercial printer or service bureau scan them.
Ask whether there will be any pre-press tasks, such as trapping and page imposition.
Ask for any recommendations that can save you money.
Tip 2: Always use Office Publisher 2007 or Publisher 2003
The following tips were written especially for Office Publisher 2007 and Microsoft Office Publisher 2003. Office Publisher 2007 includes new and improved features that were designed to be used by professional printers. Your printer or service bureau will have more confidence in publications that are created in Office Publisher 2007 or Publisher 2003 than in publications created with earlier versions of Publisher.
When you open older publications in Office Publisher 2007, the program retains the appearance of the older files as much as possible. But publications that were created in earlier versions of Publisher sometimes look different from what you expect when they are opened in Office Publisher 2007.
Tip 3: Choose your color model early
Before you spend a lot of time designing your publication, decide whether you want to print your publication in color. If you print your publication to a high-quality digital color printer, you don't need to worry about color. Digital color printers accurately reproduce millions of colors. If you plan to print your publication on an offset printing press, you have several color-model options.
Offset printing requires that a professional press operator set up and run the print job. Generally, every ink that is needed to print the publication requires more setup for the operator and increases the cost. The number of inks that you need depends on the color model that you choose.
When you set up color printing for your publication, you can choose from the following color models:
Any color (RGB)
Single color
Spot colors
Process colors
Process plus spot colors
Any color (RGB)
If you print by using a digital color printer (such as a color desktop printer), you use the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model. When you print a few copies, this is the least expensive color model to print. RGB colors have the highest degree of variability of any color model, however, which makes it difficult to match colors between print jobs.
Single color
If you print by using one color, everything in your publication is printed as a tint of a single ink, which is usually black. This is the least expensive color model to print on an offset press because it requires only one ink.
Spot colors
If you print by using a spot color, everything in your publication is printed as a tint of a single ink — usually black — and a tint of one additional color, the spot color, which is usually used as an accent. Publisher uses PANTONE® colors for spot color jobs.
This color model requires a minimum of two inks and can increase the cost of printing on an offset press with each ink that you add.
Note: In some cases, printing spot colors may be more expensive than using process colors. This is commonly the case for short-run jobs.
Process colors
If you use this color model, your publication is printed in full color by combining varying percentages of the process-color inks cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, which are typically shortened to CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key). Although you can combine these four inks to get almost a full range of colors, you can't get some colors. For example, the CMYK color model can't produce metallic colors or colors that are highly saturated.
Process-color printing always requires setting up the press with the four CMYK inks. It also requires skill on the part of the press operator to line up the impression of one ink with the others, which is called registration. These requirements make process-color printing more expensive than spot-color printing.
Process plus spot colors
This color model is the most expensive to print because it combines process-color printing (four inks) with one or more spot-color inks. You use this color model only if you want both full color plus a highly saturated or metallic color that can't be produced by using CMYK.
Choose a color model
When you choose a color model in Microsoft Office Publisher, the Color Picker displays only those colors that are available in the color model that you choose. For example, if you set your color model to Single Color, you can choose only line, fill, and text colors that you can make with that single ink color. If you set the color model to Spot Colors, you can choose only line, fill, and text colors that can be made by using your spot color inks.
To choose the color model for your publication, do the following:
On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and then click Color Printing.
In the Color Printing dialog box, under Define all colors as, click the color model that you want to use.
If you choose either Spot colors or Process colors plus spot colors, you can click the New Ink button to choose additional spot color inks.
Click OK.
Tip 4: Make sure that your publication pages are the correct size
Before you create your publication, you should decide what size you want the finished printed publication to be. Be sure to consult your commercial printing service.
After you determine the page size that you want, set it up in the Page Setup dialog box.
Make sure at this stage that the page size you choose in the Page Setup dialog box is the size that you want. It is difficult to change the page size after you start to design your publication. Also, your commercial printer will have trouble printing your publication to a different page size from the one you set up.
It is important to note that in page setup and printing, page size and paper size are two different things:
Page size always refers to the size of the finished page, after trimming.
Paper size always refers to the size of the sheet of paper on which you print the publication, before trimming.
In many cases, the paper size needs to be larger than the page size in order to allow for a bleed and printer's marks or to enable you to print more than one page per sheet of paper.
If you want to print multiple copies or pages on a single sheet of paper to create a booklet, you can do it easily in Publisher. Printing multiple pages on a single sheet so that they can be folded and trimmed to form a sequence of pages is called imposition.
Tip: To get the best results with imposition, talk to your commercial printer before you set up your publication. Your commercial printer may use a third-party imposition program to impose your publication.
As a general rule, whether you are going to use imposition or not, you should set your page size to be the final size of the item.
Business card, index card, and postcard sizes If you want to print several small items, like business cards, on a single letter-sized (8.5 inches x 11 inches) sheet, set your publication page size to be the size of the cards (2 inches x 3.5 inches for business cards), not the size of the paper that you will print them on. In the Page Setup dialog box, you can set how many copies to print per sheet.
In your publication, on the File menu, click Page Setup, set the page size, and then click Advanced.
In the Custom Page Size dialog box, under Layout type, click Multiple pages per sheet or another appropriate option.
Under Options, enter the values that you want in the Side Margin, Top Margin, Horizontal Gap, and Vertical Gap boxes.
Click OK twice.
Depending on the paper size that you selected and the margin values that you entered, Publisher fits as many copies of the item on the page as it can. You still see only one copy in the publication window, but when you print the publication, Publisher prints multiple copies on one sheet of paper.
Folded brochure sizes If your publication is a single sheet of paper that will be folded one or more times, such as a tri-fold brochure or a greeting card, the page size should be the same as the finished size before you fold it. You should not consider each panel of the brochure to be a separate page. For example, if your publication is a tri-fold brochure that you will print on letter-sized paper, click the Letter page size in the Page Setup dialog box.
Booklet sizes If your publication is a booklet with multiple folded pages (for example, a catalog or magazine), the page size should be the same as a single page after the piece has been folded. For example, if your publication page size is 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches, you can print these pages side-by-side on both sides of a single letter-sized sheet of paper. The booklet printing feature in Publisher arranges the pages so that, when you combine and fold the printed sheets, the pages are in the correct sequence.
Set up a booklet in Publisher
On the File menu, click Page Setup.
In the right task pane, click Advanced.
In the Custom Page Size dialog box, under Layout type, click Booklet. Under Margin guides, enter the measurements you want, and then click OK twice.
On the File menu, click Print Setup, and then click the Publication and Paper Settings tab.
Under Printing options, select Booklet, side-fold.
Under Paper, select a paper size that can fit two pages side-by-side. Under Orientation, click Landscape.
Click the Printer Details tab.
Click the Printer name for the printer that you will print to. If you don't know what kind of printer or imagesetter your commercial printer will use, you can skip this step, or you can select your own printer and print a proof copy.
Click OK.
Your commercial printer will make sure that the printer and paper settings are correct for the device that will be used to print your booklet.
Complex imposition Some imposition can involve a large number of pages that are printed on a single sheet, which is then folded several times and trimmed on three sides to produce a group of sequentially numbered pages. This kind of imposition can be done only by using a third-party imposition program.
Tip 5: Allow for bleeds
If you have elements in your publication that you want to print to the edge of the page, set these up as bleeds. A bleed is where the element extends off the publication page. The publication is printed to a paper size that is larger than the finished page size and then trimmed. Bleeds are necessary because most printing devices, including offset printing presses, can't print to the edge of the paper, and trimming the paper may leave a thin, white, unprinted edge.
To create a bleed in Publisher, enlarge the elements that you want to bleed so that they extend off the edge of the page by at least 0.125 inches.
If the element is an AutoShape that you created in Publisher, you can easily stretch it. However, if the shape is a picture, you must take more care to ensure that you don't get the picture out of proportion or that you don't lose part of the picture that you want to keep when the page is trimmed.
Tip 6: Avoid using synthetic font styles
Typefaces are typically designed with different fonts to represent variations in the typeface. For example, the typeface Times New Roman is actually four fonts:
Times New Roman
Times New Roman Bold
Times New Roman Italic
Times New Roman Bold Italic
To simplify using the variations, when you apply the bold or italic formatting to text in Publisher, Microsoft Windows applies the appropriate font if it is available. For example, if you select some text in Times New Roman and then click Bold on the Formatting toolbar, Windows substitutes Times New Roman Bold for the font.
Many typefaces do not have separate fonts to represent bold and italic. When you apply bold or italic formatting to these fonts, Windows creates a synthetic version of the typeface in that style. For example, the typeface Comic Sans MS does not have an italic font version. When you apply italic formatting to text in Comic Sans MS, Windows makes the text look italic by slanting the characters.
Most desktop printers print synthetic font styles as expected, but high-end print devices, such as imagesetters, usually do not print synthetic fonts as expected. Make sure that you don't have any synthetic font styles in your publication when you hand it off to your commercial printer.
Check for the separate fonts that you want to print
To be sure that you don't have any synthetic font styles, you need to know what typefaces you are using and what variations are available as separate fonts. To see what typefaces you have used in your publication, do the following:
On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and then click Fonts.
The Fonts dialog box shows all the typefaces that are used in your publication.
To see what style variations of the typeface are available as separate fonts, do the following:
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Run dialog box, in the Open box, type fonts, and then click OK.
The Fonts window opens and displays a list of all the fonts and font variations that are installed on your computer.
On the View menu, make sure that there is no check mark next to the Hide Variations (Bold, Italic, etc.) option, and then click Details.
Check to see if the typefaces that you are using in your publication have separate fonts available for the styles that you want to use.
If a typeface is listed with only one variation, no separate fonts are available for bold, italic, or bold italic formatting. Most of the typefaces that have only one font available are decorative fonts and are not designed to be used in other variations.
Tip 7: Avoid using tints for text at small font sizes
If colored text is at a small font size, use colors that are solid spot color inks or colors that can be made up with a combination of solid process color inks. Avoid using a tint of a color.
Publisher prints tints as a screen, or percentage, of a solid ink color. When viewed close-up, the screen appears as a pattern of dots. For example, a 50 percent tint of green is printed as a 50 percent screen of the solid green ink.
When the tinted text is at a small font size, the dots that make up the screen may be insufficient to clearly define the shape of the characters. The resulting text is blurred or speckled and hard to read. If the tint is a process color (using multiple inks), registration of the inks may be imperfectly aligned, which can add a fuzzy edge to the text.
If you want to color text at small font sizes, make sure that you use colors that will be printed as solid inks, not tints. The following are some possible color choices:
Red (100 percent Magenta, 100 percent Yellow)
Green (100 percent Cyan, 100 percent Yellow)
Blue (100 percent Cyan, 100 percent Red)
100 percent tint of any spot color
Note: For text at larger font sizes, roughly 18 points and larger, tints are not a problem. Be sure to discuss the fonts that you want to tint with your commercial printer.
Tip 8: Size digital photos and scanned images appropriately
Graphics that are created by a paint program, a scanning program, or a digital camera are made up of a grid of differently colored squares called pixels. The more pixels a graphic has, the more detail it shows.
The resolution of a picture is expressed in pixels per inch (ppi). Every picture has a finite number of pixels. Scaling a picture larger decreases the resolution (fewer ppi). Scaling the picture smaller increases the resolution (more ppi).
If your picture resolution is too low, it will be printed more blocky. If the picture resolution is too high, the file size of the publication becomes unnecessarily large, and it takes a longer time to open, edit, and be printed. Pictures with more than 1,000 ppi may not be printed at all.
If the resolution of the picture is greater than what the printer is able to print (for example, an 800-ppi picture on a 300-ppi printer), the printer takes more time to process the image data without showing any more detail in the printed piece. Try to match the picture resolution to the resolution of the printer.
Color pictures that you plan to have printed by a commercial printer should be between 200 and 300 ppi. Your pictures can have higher resolution — up to 800 ppi — but they should not have a lower resolution.
Note: You sometimes may see picture resolution expressed as dots per inch (dpi) instead of ppi. These terms are often used interchangeably.
Effective resolution
A picture contains the same amount of information whether you scale it larger or smaller in your publication. If you want more details in your picture to appear as you enlarge it, you need to start with a picture that has a higher effective resolution.
Every picture in your publication has an effective resolution that takes into account the original resolution of the graphic and the effect of scaling it in Publisher. For example, a picture with an original resolution of 300 ppi that has been scaled 200 percent larger has an effective resolution of 150 ppi.
To find the effective resolution of a picture in your publication, do the following:
On the Tools menu, click Graphics Manager.
In the Graphics Manager task pane, under Select a picture, click the arrow next to the picture, and then click Details.
In the Details window, the Effective Resolution field displays the resolution in dots per inch (dpi).
Reducing high-resolution graphics
If you have just a few graphics whose resolution is too high, you may have no problem printing them. If you have several high-resolution graphics, your publication will be printed more efficiently if you reduce their resolutions.
Important: Before you reduce the resolution of a graphic, consult with your commercial printing service about the resolution that you need.
In Publisher, you can reduce the resolution of one, several, or all pictures by compressing them.
In Publisher, select one or more pictures whose resolution you want to reduce, right-click one of them, and then click Format Picture.
In the Format Picture dialog box, click the Picture tab.
Click Compress.
In the Compress Pictures dialog box, under Target Output, click Commercial printing.
Under Apply compression settings now, choose whether you want to compress all pictures in the publication or only the pictures that you selected, and then click OK.
If a message appears asking if you want to apply picture optimization, click Yes.
A 300-ppi version of the same picture or pictures replaces the high-resolution original picture or pictures.
Tip 9: Use linked pictures
When you insert pictures into your publication, you can embed them in the publication or link to the picture files. Inserting pictures into your publication as links reduces the publication size and makes it possible for the printer to edit any of the pictures separately or manage colors for all of them in one batch.
If you insert linked pictures, be sure to hand off the picture files along with your publication to your commercial printer. If you use the Pack and Go Wizard to prepare your publication for commercial printing, the linked pictures are included in the packed file.
Delivering a publication with linked pictures is especially important if you use Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) graphics, because you can't save a picture from Publisher in EPS format. The EPS graphic is available to your commercial printer only if it is supplied as a separate linked file.
To insert a picture as a link, do the following:
On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click From File.
In the Insert Picture dialog box, browse to the picture that you want, and then click it.
Click the arrow next to Insert, and then click Link to File.
Tip 10: Use the Pack and Go Wizard to prepare your publication file
The Pack and Go Wizard packs a publication and its linked files into a single compressed file that you can take to a commercial printer. When you use the Pack and Go Wizard, Publisher does the following:
Saves a copy of the file and embeds those TrueType fonts that grant permission to embed.
Creates a compressed archive file, which includes the publication and all of its linked graphics.
Creates a PDF file that your printer may prefer to use.
Note: You can save as a PDF or XPS file from a 2007 Microsoft Office system program only after you install an add-in. For more information, see Enable support for other file formats, such as PDF and XPS.
Copies the packed file to the drive of your choice.
Run the Pack and Go Wizard
On the File menu, point to Pack and Go, and then click Take to a Commercial Printing Service.
In the Take to a Commercial Printing Service task pane, in the How will this publication be printed? list, select the option that you want:
If you will be using an offset printing service, select Commercial Press.
If you will be using a high-end copy shop, select High quality printing.
If you want to customize the PDF settings to match the settings on the target printer, click Other, and then choose the settings that you want.
Click Printing Options.
In the Print Options dialog box, make any needed changes, including printer's marks, and then click OK.
Ask your printing service if you need to select any Printer's marks options.
Under Select an item to fix, repair any problems that Publisher has identified.
To create a PDF file, under Export, select the Create a PDF check box.
You can save your publication as a .zip file or as a PDF file or both. Both are selected by default. If you are unsure which your commercial printing service prefers, leave both selected.
Click Save.
In the Pack and Go Wizard, choose the location to which you want to export the file, and then click Next.
If you pack multiple publications, save each packed publication to a separate folder. Otherwise, the Pack and Go Wizard will overwrite any pre-existing packed publications.
You can save the file to removable media, a hard disk drive, external drive, or network drive.
Save files to removable media
If you are taking your publication on disk to the printing service, click the appropriate drive (usually D or E for removable media such as a writable CD or USB Flash Drive).
Save files to a hard disk drive, an external drive, or a network
If you are putting your files on an external drive, a network, or your computer's hard disk drive, click Browse, choose the drive and folder that you want, and then click OK.
You can later upload the file to a Web site if your commercial printing service uses file submission on the Web.
Select or clear the Print a composite proof check box, and then click OK.
The Print a composite proof check box is always selected by default. Use the composite proof to review and catch any errors in a printed version of your publication before you send the file to the commercial printer. If your commercial printer fixes errors in the file, the cost of printing usually increases.
Note: If you make changes to your publication after you pack your files, be sure to run the Pack and Go Wizard again, so that the changes are included in the publication that you take to your commercial printing service.

We are so pleased to be able to announce the launch of our new Soft Bagels.
A Bagel isn't just bread with a hole in it. A true bagel has a chewy crust with a soft interior. The traditional way to do this is to boil them so that's what we are doing. We believe these are the only widely available boiled gluten free bagels in the world!
- Available in Plain, Cinnamon Raisin and Blueberry (made with REAL blueberries).
- Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free, OU Kosher
- Fortified with 5 vitamins and minerals
- Zero cholesterol
- At least SEVEN grams fiber per bagel
The bagels are available for ordering right now on our website and are shipping to our distributors over the next couple of weeks. Suggested retail price for 4 bagels is $5.99.
They've been picked up by several major chains in the US & Canada and we'll be updating this post, Twitter & Facebook with information as stores begin to stock them.
For Kinnikinnick Fresh customers in Edmonton, These bagels will be available from the freezer starting April 27 and watch the bulk bins for special flavours only available in store.
Check out the complete press release here
These new bagels also have the Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation's Health Check ® Program seal. To earn the Health Check symbol, every food or menu item in the program must meet nutrient criteria, established by Health Check, based on the recommendations in Canada's Food Guide. The Health Check logo tells you the food or menu item has been reviewed by the Heart and Stroke Foundation's registered dietitians and can contribute to an overall healthy diet.
✝ The Heart and Stroke Foundation's registered dietitians have reviewed these items to ensure they meet the specific nutrient criteria developed by the Health Check™ program based on the recommendations in Canada's Food Guide. A fee is paid by each participating company to help cover the cost of this voluntary, not-for-profit program. See www.HealthCheck.org.

Research interns work closely with mentor experts to maximize their learning opportunities. They are placed with host facilities, usually DAN headquarters, where they participate in projects appropriate for their interests and ability. The range may include field, laboratory and/or epidemiological studies.
Research interns typically assist in data collection and work on a variety of assignments to develop their practical skills, critical thinking, and technical communication expertise. Writing projects include a review of their experience that may be used in full or part in any DAN publications, including Alert Diver, On Board, the DAN website, research newsletters and press releases.
Interns are primarily recruited from undergraduate or first year Masters students at colleges and universities across the United States (other post-graduate students and periods other than summer will be considered, if appropriate). Opportunities for international applicants are available subject to US visa requirements and interested international applicants should contact Dr. Peter Buzzacott (firstname.lastname@example.com) before submitting a full application.
Academic credit may be available for students registered in educational programs while completing the research internship. DAN can provide documentation to meet the needs of typical institutional requirements.
The program runs primarily from late May through August, but has flexibility. The shortest internship period is generally three months. Extensions are possible based on productivity, research needs, and the interest of both intern and mentor.
DAN will cover room, board and related expenses. Interns will be given a monthly stipend to cover these incurred costs. In turn, interns are required to keep an expense log of all incurred costs and submit these weekly to the internship administrator.
Intern candidates must be at least 20 years old by June 01 in the year of application, with an educational track in a science field preferred. Strong candidates for this competitive program will have excellent communication and organizational skills, an established commitment to diving, and goals that would benefit from participation in the program. While diving activity is generally not required for the internship, all activities are diving focused, requiring candidates to be certified scuba divers with sufficient experience to warrant consideration.
To be considered for an internship, submit the following information:
Application deadline is Jan. 31.
The number of research interns selected in a given year depends on mentor matches, project activity, and program funding, the last of which comes from donors and supporting dive businesses.
To contribute to the funding of the DAN Research Internship Program, donate to DAN today.

Consultative Examinations: A Guide for Health Professionals
Part II - Evidence Requirements
Medical Evidence
Under both the title II and title XVI programs, medical evidence is the cornerstone for the determination of disability.
Each person who files a disability
claim is responsible for providing medical evidence showing that he or
she has an impairment (s) and how severe the impairment (s) is. However,
SSA will help claimants get medical reports from their own medical sources
when the claimants gives SSA permission to do so. This medical evidence
generally comes from sources that have treated or evaluated the claimant
for his or her
impairment (s).
Acceptable Medical Sources
Documentation of the existence of a claimant's impairment must come from medical professionals defined by SSA's regulation as "acceptable medical sources." Once the existence of an impairment is established, all of the medical and non-medical evidence is considered in assessing impairment severity.
"Acceptable medical sources" are:
- Licensed physicians (medical or osteopathic doctors);
- Licensed or certified psychologists. Included are school psychologists, or other licensed or certified individuals with other titles who perform the same function as a school psychologist in a school setting, for purposes of establishing mental retardation, learning disabilities, and borderline intellectual functioning only ;
- Licensed optometrists, for purposes of establishing visual disorders only (except, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, licensed optometrists, for the measurement of visual acuity and visual fields only);
- Licensed podiatrists, for purposes of establishing impairments of the foot, or foot and ankle, depending on whether the State in which the podiatrist practices permits the practice of podiatry on the foot only, or the foot and ankle; and
- Qualified speech-language pathologists, for purposes of establishing speech or language impairments only. For this source, "qualified" means that the speech-language pathologist must be licensed by the State professional licensing agency, or be fully certified by the State education agency in the State in which he or she practices, or hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
Medical Evidence from Treating
Currently, many disability claims are decided on the basis of medical evidence from "treating sources." "Treating source" means the claimant's own "acceptable medical source" who provides, or has provided, the claimant with medical treatment or evaluation and who has, or has had, an ongoing treatment relationship with the claimant. SSA regulations place special emphasis on evidence from treating sources because they are likely to be the medical professionals most able to provide a detailed longitudinal picture of the claimant's impairments and they may bring a unique perspective to the medical evidence that cannot be obtained from the medical findings alone or from reports of individual examinations or brief hospitalizations. Therefore, timely, accurate, and adequate medical reports from treating sources may accelerate the processing of the claim because they can greatly reduce or eliminate the need for additional medical evidence to complete the claim.
Other Evidence Sources
Information from other sources may also help show the extent to which a person's impairment(s) affects his or her ability to function. Other sources include public and private social welfare agencies, non-medical sources such as teachers, day care providers, social workers and employers, and other health care professionals such as naturopaths, chiropractors, and audiologists.
Medical Reports
SSA frequently asks physicians, psychologists, and other health care professionals to submit reports about an individual's impairment. Therefore, it is important to know what evidence SSA needs. Medical reports should include:
- Medical history;
- Clinical findings (such as the results of physical or mental status examinations);
- Laboratory findings (such as blood pressure, x-rays);
- Diagnosis;
- Treatment prescribed with response and prognosis; and a
- Statement providing an opinion about what
the claimant can still do despite his or her impairment(s) based on
the medical source's findings on the above factors. This statement should
describe, but is not limited to, the individual's ability to perform
work-related activities, such as sitting, standing, walking, lifting,
carrying, handling objects, hearing, speaking, and traveling. In cases
involving mental impairments, it should describe the individual's ability
to understand, to carry out and remember instructions, and to respond
appropriately to supervision, coworkers, and work pressures in a work
setting. For a child, the statement should describe the child's ability
to function in an age-appropriate manner in the areas of functioning
appropriate for the child's age.
Evidence Relating to Symptoms
In developing evidence of the effects of symptoms, such as pain, shortness of breath, or fatigue, on a claimant's ability to function, SSA investigates all avenues presented that relate to the complaints. These include information provided by treating and other sources regarding:
- The claimant's daily activities;
- Location, duration, frequency, and intensity of the pain or other symptom; precipitating and aggravating factors; the type, dosage, effectiveness, and side effects of any medication;
- Treatments, other than medications, for the relief of pain or other symptoms;
- Any measures the claimant uses or has used to relieve pain or other symptoms; and
- Other factors concerning the claimant's functional limitations due to pain or other symptoms.
In assessing the claimant's pain or other symptoms, the decision-maker(s) must give full consideration to all of the above-mentioned factors. It is important that medical sources address these factors in the reports they provide.

The Palettenpavillon: Ultimate Pallet Reuse
Okay, so we like some pallet reuse here and there, but an entire structure made of them is quite the accomplishment. In Berlin designer Matthias Loebermann made the Palettenpavillon solely from shipping pallets, ground anchors and tie rods. Who would've thought it could look so awesome?
The Palettenpavillion was built in 2005 for the Skiing World Cup and was meant to be a temporary shelter for users and media to congregate, create and be inspired by the unusual, cave-like space. Matthias Loebermann choose pallets because he wanted to reflect the surrounding wooded region, while also constructing a sustainable space. It was constructed out of 1300 shipping pallets, 20 tie rods and 100 tension straps. If wanted, the structure can be easily assembled, disassembled and recycled without much waste.
For more information visit Loebermann's website (in German).

For complete results CLICK HERE.
Steve Cramton and Elan Price took the men's and women's national titles respectively for Slopestyle on March 29, 2000. The riders were both participating in the open class of the USASA Nationals at Waterville Valley.
The other events held throughout the day included boardercross, GS, Dual Slalom and halfpipe, but all were in age groups less exciting than the open class, so I'm focusing solely on them.
Perhaps the East coast has been spoiled by sunny contest days and superpipes lately, but this contest was unbelievably anticlimactic. If the giant crevasses in the snow at Waterville are any indication, the East coast season is moments from being over, and this is definitely the final contest, but after building up to it all month, it is disappointing to say the least.
Actually, it might be the worst contest I've ever been to, although the majority of kids there, mostly from the Midwest, might disagree.
In protest of the contest, I went and jibbed barrels with Matty Ryan, who was actually the biggest name there, even if he wasn't in the contest. This didn't last long however, as the only thing worse than watching the competition was riding. The ice pellets falling from the sky didn't exactly improve the experience, and they were much less painful if you were standing still. So I ended up watching the contest anyway.
The Slopestyle course ran right next to the halfpipe, and you could see it from the lodge, but it wasn't a good idea to watch from inside, as you might miss a backflip or two. It seems that was what this contest was all about. My personal favorite run (I'm not sure whose it was) included a shifty, two backflips and a rodeo flip. However, the winners' runs were slightly more technical.
Steve Cramton usually rides at Loon, NH, only ten minutes down the road, so its no surprise he was able to put together a good run in this NH park. He spun a 720 and even did a double grab, not to mention he rode cleanly between jumps (this was pretty unique). Kyle Clancy proved that he is more than just a pipe rat, coming in second. His most notable air was a cork 540, and his overall runs were right inline with Cramton's. His final score was only one point lower. In third place was Phil White, who I believe trains in So Cal, a good indication of why he's good at Slopestyle.
The female contest was thankfully much shorter than the guys, which seemed to drag on forever, because there were only five girls. All of them did pretty similar runs, straight airs and backside 360's, so the winner came down to who landed on their feet the most times. In the end it was Elan Price of Colorado. Closely on her tail was Amber Stackhouse, who chose to do her backside 360 over the largest kicker right in front of the judging stand.
The most impressive girl rider wasn't even in the open class. Her name was Hana Beaman and she was actually riding in the Junior 16-17 class. I don't think there is anyone there that would deny her runs were sick, stylish, and substantially bigger than any of the other girls in her class. This might be why she won in her division by three points. In third place was Nicole Anderson.
