BRISTOL, Tenn. – Two members of the King University men's wrestling team were named to the 2012-13 NCAA Division II All-Academic wrestling team. Trevor Wentt earned second team honors with a 4.0 grade point average (GPA), and Jeremy Miller was an honorable mention selection with a 3.42 GPA.
Wentt, a junior, was one of only three all-academic team members to have a perfect 4.0 GPA. A native of Virginia Beach, Va., Wentt is majoring in Visual and Performance Arts. He finished last season with a 5-11 record, but won two of his final three matches.
Miller was selected to the honorable mention team, completing his sophomore season with a 3.42 GPA. The Madison, Tenn., native has yet to decide a major and compiled a 9-10 record in his second season at King. His best performance of the season may have come at the Wolfpack Open where he turned in a third place finish.
The All-Academic wrestling team was voted on by members of the NCAA Division II Wrestling Coaches Association. Student-athletes needed to have a minimum of a cumulative 3.0 GPA in order to be nominated to the Division II All-Academic team. He also must be in at least his second full year at the school and be a member of the varsity team, or a key reserve.

I am not someone who sits around thinking I'm doing this motherhood thing terribly wrong. I do not keep a list of my parental shortcomings at my fingertips or look at other have-it-all-together moms in amazement (I know they have their unraveling moments, too). Sure, I write about being frazzled and sub-par a lot on this blog, but I mostly share that stuff because I think it's funny, relatable, human. It does not keep me up at night. That said, I love fresh starts and clean slates and I think there's always room for self improvement. That said, I never like to set the bar too high that I can't step right over it. So here, in no particular order, are the 13 small changes=big results things I plan to do in the coming year:
1. Keep my car neater. At any given time there is an entire wardrobe, tons of old crunched up food, shoes (never matching), toys (usually broken) and scattered mail (sometimes junk, sometimes important bills) rolling around my car.This makes me feel disgusting, disorganized and disgruntled, which I swear is not how I really am.
2. Lose my cool less. Yes, I get frustrated and yell at my kids sometimes. Sometimes it's warranted (like when Alex "accidentally" throws a ball at me while I'm driving); other times it's…well, honestly, it always seems warranted because my kids can be really trying and it seems the only way to snap them out of it is to snap (within reason--I don't go psycho on them or anything). But I always feel bad about it. And regardless of the situation, I think everyone would be better served if I just tried to stay calm.
3. Dress better when I'm out with my kids, even if it's just for pick up/drop off. I work from home and I try to work out most days, which means I wake up and put on gym clothes. And my gym clothes suck (my "gym" is a treadmill in my office so it's not like I have anyone to impress). The times when I look put together, I feel better about everything in life and I always think, "I should put on a real bra more often." Also: Eventually my kids will be old enough to be embarrassed by my attire so best to break the habit now.
4. Eat dinner with my kids more often. This is not to instill the value of the family table (we already all sit together and talk about our days, Nick and I just watch the kids eat their dinner then put them to bed and then we eat our adult dinner quietly and without poop breaks). I want to eat with my kids so that I eat earlier and less and so I can go to bed without a full stomach. In other words, it's the perfect post-holiday diet.
5. Get up before my kids…at least a few days a week. This one is self-explanatory. Is there anything better than those quiet moments in the morning when no one else is awake? Oh yes, sleep. And therein lies my problem. But I really, really want to try this more often and I promised my friend Laura Vanderkam that I'd take her awesome advice (she wrote What The Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast) and report back. Stay tuned….
6. Foster my kids' love of pretend play. Alex and Nora are both really into dress up and pretending to be doctors, nurses, dogs, cats, moms, firefighters, professional soccer players, waiters, chefs, dog trainers, dragon slayers, pirates, etc. I want to start a big trunk of dress up clothes (I had one as a kid) and help them let their imaginations run wild. I'll even put some princess stuff in there for Nora.
7. Take more family trips to the city. We live an hour from some the best museums, zoos, restaurants, theater and people-watching in the world. We've avoided NYC trips with both kids thus far because, well, our kids can be tough in public. And NYC is as public as it gets. But now that they are calming down and becoming more reasonable humans, I want to take advantage. We all went into the city the week before Christmas for The Radio City Christmas Spectacular and it was a great day.
8. Take more videos of the kids. I would never say make a scrapbook or a baby book or organize the pictures I already have because that just sounds too hard. But taking more videos is easy. And fun. And there is nothing better than watching old clips of the kids being cute or sweet or funny (good entertainment for them, too!). And the first item on my 2013 to-do list is getting an iPhone (I have an old, crappy blackberry--don't ask) so I'll be one step closer to home video heaven.
9. Get together with mom friends more often. Nothing makes me feel more supported and normal than hanging out with other moms, trading stories and realizing that we are all truly in this together. And that any effed up issue I may be facing (force-brushing Nora's teeth every night, for example) has already been faced by someone else who can tell me it will pass.
10. Judge other parents less. Yes, I do it sometimes. No, it's not productive. And considering I am far from perfect, there are many more useful uses of my time. Like working on some of the stuff on this list, for example.
11. Do more charity work with the kids. I do a ton of volunteering but most of mine involves casino nights and galas and meetings. Lots and lots of meetings. The kids and I have recently made bagged lunches for Sandy clean-up volunteers (a friend organized this and it was awesome) and we collected Toys for Tots and Alex's class adopted a family displaced by Sandy and he was amazing with writing them letters and donating Christmas presents. I really want this stuff to be a part of their lives year round. Ideas welcome!
12. Learn to do something with Nora's hair. It's time. She's going to be three in a couple weeks and the girl deserves a mom who can at the very least brush her hair, if not French braid it. The messy bun look is so 2012.
13. Create more work/life boundaries. I'd never I say I want work/life "balance" but as a stay-at-home freelance writer, I am often parenting while working (I recently took a call from the governor of Illinois's office while at the bus stop), and working while parenting (I sometimes catch Nora "just postin my blog, mom" when she's playing on her toy laptop, that's how often she hears talk about this blog) and when my different roles ooze together like that it makes me a tad crazy. I'd like to multitask less and focus more on the task at hand. Whether that's getting a quote from Roger Goodell (check!) or feeding my kids dinner. I think this starts by redoing my office so I actually want to work in there (instead of on my dining room table). Or maybe I just want a DIY redesign project to add even more chaos to my life this year....
OK, that's my list. Fortunately it's 2013 and not 2031, cause Lord knows I could keep writing. And probably should. So, anything you want to do differently in the New Year? Any of these things on your list? Share here! And happy, healthy, calm and cool New Year to you and yours. I'm off for the next few days so I can start checking some of this stuff off my list.

Intel® Identity Protection Technology with OTP
Seamless Web Site User Authentication and Secure VPN Access
Traditionally, two-factor authentication uses a one-time password (OTP), which combines something the user knows (a username and password) and something the user has (typically, a token or key fob that produces a six-digit number, valid only for a short period of time and available on demand).
If your business is already using two-factor authentication, then you are also familiar with the various issues around token usability and logistics. Replacing lost or broken tokens and users mistyping their one-time passwords are just two of the headaches currently affecting help desks and IT departments. Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT)1 with OTP is a built-in hardware token (of your security vendor choice) that negates the need for a separate physical token, thus simplifying the two-factor VPN log-in process for a seamless experience with virtually no delays. Moreover, Intel IPT ensures that the PCs accessing your VPN are those assigned to your employees. This easy-to-use, two-factor authentication solution is available from a variety of OEMs and security independent software venders (ISVs).
Algorithms supported by third-party ISVs and partners of Intel, such as Vasco, Symantec, and McAfee, run in the chipset, performing the operations that link the computer to a validated site and help ensure strong authentication.1
Product and Performance Information
No computer system can provide absolute security. Requires an Intel® Identity Protection Technology-enabled system, including an enabled Intel® processor, enabled chipset, firmware, software, and Intel integrated graphics (in some cases) and participating website/service. Intel assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or any resulting damages. Consult your system manufacturer and/or software vendor for more information.

About the British Academy of Audiology
The British Academy of Audiology
We are the largest association of professionals in hearing and balance in the UK. Our membership extends internationally and provides services in both the public and private sector.
The BAA aims to help its members to develop in their professional skills, provide a benchmark for quality and professional standards and promote audiology as an autonomous profession.
The pages in this section will allow you to understand the structure of the association, its Board and President, its vision and constitution and the committees that drive its activity.
Here too you can find details of how to contact the association and of ways in which, as a private company, you may wish to advertise with us.
Professional and Ethical Behaviour for Audiologists
Audiologists as Healthcare Practitioners and Scientists carry considerable responsibility requiring complex judgements and clinical decision making. They often work with the most vulnerable in society at times when they are acutely unwell. Moreover, patients, colleagues and the public must have complete trust that each Healthcare Science Professional acts with honesty, integrity and in the best interests of the patient. For this reason, it is important to recognise that your behaviour may determine whether you are 'Fit to Practise' as a Healthcare Science Practitioner.
British Academy of Audiology (BAA) has adopted the Health Professions Council Code of Conduct as our Code. However, members of other registration bodies such as the RCCP must of course adhere to those as well (there is little difference in the underlying principles of these). An audiologist who is reprimanded by, or suspended or expelled from, their registration body is likely to have similar action taken by the BAA, following appropriate investigation.
We also believe that professional and ethical behaviour are much more than rule following. Whilst the code of conduct may act like a guide, we encourage all the audiologists to continually think about and be aware of ethical and moral issues associated with their actions and practices.

Informal Discussion
Formation of Steering Committee
Working Documentation
Spring Consensus Conference
Position Statement
'Think Tank' Meeting to establish Vision and Mission
Members of BAAS, BSHT and BAAT voted in favour of merging to form one body – British Academy of Audiology
1st April - British Academy of Audiology becomes effective
How was BAA formed?
The British Academy of Audiology (BAA) was formed as an amalgamation of: BAAS (British Association of Audiological Scientists) BSHT (British Society of Hearing Therapists) and BAAT (British Association of Audiology Technicians). 8 years after the initial discussion, the BAA became effective on 1st April 2004, following an overwhelming vote, in favour of the union.
The BAA was the culmination of many years' work that saw professions within Audiology grow closer together as the speciality changed beyond recognition. The origins of the amalgamation can be traced back to work with the then Chief Scientific Officer at the Department of Health, Peter Greenaway, who hosted and supported the initial meetings in 1998.
Why was a new body required?
BAA drew together representatives of the three former bodies, to present a single strong voice, offering clinical autonomy for the audiology profession. The BAA was devised to work alongside other bodies, such as the British Society of Audiology which covers a wider group, including Medics and those in education. Audiology within the NHS had grown up as a profession and a mature organisation was required to represent and support it. It was a critical time for NHS Audiology as the funding for digital hearing aids began to be devolved on a local basis. The profession needed to be strong to maintain the high quality service achieved through modernisation.
The BAA was to develop and accredit high quality education for people moving into the profession and have a key role in upholding high standards and negotiating with government departments on relative matters.
BAA Structure
The initial BAA structure was crafted in line with the vision set out by the Department of Health in relation to 'Making the Change'.
A twelve member BAA Executive Board was assumed with plans to run an election for members to select the next committee.
The shadow of the initial BAA board was formed from the Audiology Professions Group, a group composed of the Chair and Vice Chair of each of the BAAS, BSHT and BAAT. The APG worked on the goal of a BSc (Hons) Audiology as the minimum qualification, a new career structure and a united profession. Over the next few years the faces changed but the three groups remained wedded to the goal.
Initial Board Members
- President - Jonathon Parsons
- Vice Chair - Pauline Beesley
- Hon Secretary - Dot Thomson
- Hon Treasurer - Michelle Bennion
- Education, Accreditation & Training – Gerald Armstrong-Bednall
- Professional Development – Kevin Wyke
- Service Standards & Protocols – Graham Sutton
- Registration & Professional Issues – Andy Phillips
- Communication & Publicity – Sue Wyatt-Jones
- Conferences & Meetings – Lucy Hanscomb
- Membership – Barbara Hook
- Regional Network Development – Becky Sutton
Aims of the BAA
Initial Vision (2003)
- BAA will be the united body for the Audiology Profession throughout the UK.
- BAA will offer protection, encouragement, inspiration and guidance to its members and be the driving force to develop the profession.
- BAA will work to develop and promote excellence in services for our patients.
- BAA will raise the profile of Audiology as an autonomous profession and be a united powerful voice.
- BAA recognises that Assistants, Associate Practitioners and Student Audiologists are an integral part of the current and future service.
Initial Mission Statement (2003)
To develop, support and promote the profession, science and practice of Audiology in the United Kingdom, through the promotion of education, training, research, lobbying and professional support.
Mission Statement (2013)
- Is the largest organisation for professionals in hearing and balance in the UK
- Provides leadership, inspiration and guidance
- Develops and promotes excellence in services for patients
- Is a driving force for improving quality standards, training and education
- Promotes the profile of audiology as an autonomous profession
Launch of BAA
The official launch of the British Academy of Audiology took place in the Cabinet War Rooms in London on Wednesday 19th May. Tony Benn was the guest speaker and was a consummate professional throughout the somewhat gruelling photography sessions before finally toasting the launch of BAA – when lunch could begin. The new BAA Board were given special permission to have our photographs taken around Churchill's cabinet table in the War Rooms.
Our first annual conference 'Audiology United' was held in Manchester on November 18-20th 2004.
Opening of the first BAA Conference 2013 – Jonathan Parsons (first BAA President)
"Ladies, Gentleman and Honoured Guests
Welcome to the largest conference for Audiologists ever held in the United Kingdom.
It does feel very good to say that.
When you think about it, an awful lot of work has taken place over the years, by many people in order to get us to this point. This conference as well as being an unprecedented opportunity for learning, should also be a celebration of what has been achieved, so you all have license to enjoy yourself just a little bit more than usual – quite a dangerous thing to say perhaps having only previously witnessed BAAT conferences – but you can take that how you like.
We owe our thanks to many people and I will try to cover all these, but you will understand if I refer to general groups rather than naming all individuals.
Firstly I would like to thank the Lord Mayor of Manchester for graciously agreeing to open the conference (you will hear from him shortly) but also to our overseas guests who have come a great distance to be with us. It is with great personal pleasure that I can welcome several members of the American Academy of Audiology who are with us as today, as it gives me the opportunity to thank them for an unceasing listening ear and source of advice over the last few years.
There are several people, without who, today would not be possible. I am sure that I am not jumping the gun by thanking the Conference Organising Committee led by Pauline Beesley who have worked tirelessly to bring this about. We will get opportunities over the next few days to thank them, but the work required in organising Audiologists United should not be underestimated.
No conference would be possible without sponsorship and I would very much like to thank all our generous sponsors. Special thanks must go to our Gold Sponsors – Mediplacements, GN Resound & Siemens, and to our Silver Sponsors – Oticon, IAC and Starkey. Thank you to CochlearEurope Limited for Prizes for Best Student Podium and Best Poster Presentation. Thanks too to the University of Manchester.
To understand what BAA is about, it is important to remember how things used to be, and what has happened to us. We were previously three organisations, representing different professionals who to a greater or lesser degree performed similar and often overlapping roles depending upon local composition of services. We do not have to go too far back, to be in the days where despite our clinical expertise, we were viewed as support services, often subservient to ENT and at the mercy of directorate over-influence. I can remember not being allowed by ENT to talk to patients or parents about the results of assessment – quite bizarre really. Being referred to as 'my technician' or sometimes even audiometrician – (that could yet be the unifying title – it has a certain ring to it!) Who else has had to make parents an appointment a week or so hence for the ENT surgeon to impart the news and immediately return them back to us?
Thankfully for most, (in the words of one often repeated radio ad at the moment) - Things are Different Now.
It is good to be able to declare that in this, HealthCare Science Awareness Week, the Audiologist Profession has Come of Age – just look at what we have achieved and are achieving: the Modernisation of Services and Digital Hearing Aids for all, Newborn Hearing Screening, a BSc (Hons) as a minimum qualification for practice, and not least registration soon for the previously unregulated majority of our workforce. As a group of practitioners, we have delivered – despite the extraordinary pressure placed upon the service and ourselves. We are a group of autonomous professionals that lead care in the areas of hearing and balance. People are beginning to know what audiologists do and what they can achieve. We should rightly be proud of the roles that we have forged for ourselves, and I mean that we have forged – through our dedication and professionalism – services are very different know, and the quality for patients is much enhanced compared to the pre modernised service. Again, we should all be proud of ourselves for these achievements.
So what of the British Academy of Audiology?
BAA is a natural culmination of the changes in our roles and services. Audiologists need an organisation that looks after our needs and the needs of our patients. You need to be supported both at national and local level and to be sure that where decisions are being made about your future we have robust opinions and strong influence.
Change is always uncomfortable in at least some way for all, and we have certainly as professionals and as an organisation been through an unprecedented period of change. It is clear that BAA is a fledgling organisation that has yet to properly find its feet. As I said, it has been many years coming about. The Road to Manchester has been one with many twists and the occasional comprehensive roadblock to overcome. That we have got here at all is all to do with the professionals of each organisation who have worked tirelessly to achieve it, often in their own time. So a big thanks you to all those who as part of BSHT, BAAS, BAAT, the Audiology Professions Group and the Shadow BAA Board worked towards amalgamation. I must acknowledge the able and timely support of Dr Peter Greenaway, the previous Chief Scientific Officer at the Department of Health who had the vision to know what was possible and to support us. I must also acknowledge the significant contribution of BSHAA representatives in the Audiology Professions group and shadow Board – I thank them for their help. I was struck when speaking at the BSHAA conference a week or so ago, that we have never been closer as practitioners. There remains an historic opportunity to break the artificial barriers that exist between us and to go forward with the degree as the minimum qualification for each sector. BAA continues to argue for this along with BSHAA in talks with the Department of Health on registration and career structures. You may know that we face significant opposition to this from those in power.
There is no doubt that as an organisation BAA still has lessons to learn. I don't think any of us quite anticipated the workload involved with a much larger organisation. We have not lost the positiveness of the overwhelming vote for amalgamation and of the successful launch that we held in May. But I think that we so successfully wound up the three organisations that we failed to realise that in one fell stroke we suddenly had a large organisation with no structure – clearly we have had to hit the ground running and set our priorities accordingly. This will be broken down further for you at the AGM later this afternoon. We are however creating a structure that will involve as many of you as possible and be fit for purpose.
Which takes me back to moving things along on this special day. It is a great honour for me to serve as the First President of the British Academy of Audiology. The formation has been the culmination of a dream for me and it is evidence of the standing that our profession now holds. As always with these things - the real work starts here. I am not ashamed to say once again that the Audiology profession has Come of Age and BAA will continue to work to further our aims. So lastly I would like to thank you all for attending Audiologists United and sincerely hope that you enjoy the experience. I will now ask the Lord Mayor of Manchester to formerly open the conference."

Trauma is a serious injury or shock to the body caused by a physical force, such as violence or an accident.
The injury may be complicated by psychiatric, behavioral, and social factors. This can cause the disability to be greater than just physical.
Some causes of trauma include:
Some of the traumatic injuries we treat at the UPMC Rehabilitation Institute include:
Although the average hospital stay for a major amputation is just a week, rehabilitation can take much longer.
You're not only dealing with the emotional toll an amputation can take but you may also need to relearn basic skills, such as:
At the UPMC Rehabilitation Institute, physical therapy begins within a day or two of surgery and focuses on improving strength and mobility.
Our experts cover every area of rehabilitation, including:
The goal of rehabilitation is patient empowerment, so that quality of life remains high regardless of the disability.
As one of the leading rehabilitation programs in the United States, patients at the UPMC Rehabilitation Institute have access to state-of-the-art technology and comprehensive services to help assist with recovery.
Technologies, such as those in the Robotics and Gaming Center, help you re-learn walking and other tasks so you can live a more independent life after your rehabilitation stay.
The UPMC Rehabilitation Institute is the only rehabilitation program in western Pennsylvania with an on-site Level I Regional Resource Trauma Center, UPMC Mercy.
This means our patients can receive care from the same team of experienced physicians and therapists — from the point of injury through the rehabilitation process.

She enjoyed her work with the LDS Church. Irma and Harold's marriage was solemnized in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple in 1975.
Irma was preceded in death by her husband, Harold Dean Taylor, Sr.; her parents and some of her brothers and sisters. Irma was one of 13 children. Her remaining family mostly live in the Southern States.
She is survived by her daughter Linda and her husband Donald (Romrell) of Blackfoot; son Harold "Butch" Dean Taylor, Jr. and his wife Mary Ann (Brewster) of Boise; five grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 11a.m. on Thursday, May 12, 2011, at Hawker Funeral Home, 132 S. Shilling Ave., Blackfoot. The family will meet with friends and family from 10 to 11 a.m. prior to services at the funeral home. Irma will be laid to rest alongside her husband Harold in Dayton Cemetery, in Dayton, Idaho.
Her family wishes to thank the nurses, doctor and all the caregivers at the Harbor Care Unit of Boise, Good Samaritan, Boise, for their loving care and concern for our mother during her six-year stay in their care, especially their compassion toward the last days of her life.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorial contributions be made to Good Samaritan Society, Boise Village, 3115 Sycamore Dr., Boise, Idaho 83702 or to the Alzheimer's Association, 1111 S. Orchard, Ste. 200, Boise, Idaho 83705.

George served in the U.S. Army in WWII and was very proud he was one of "Patton's Boys." George completed his military service in the U.S. Army Air Corps and the U.S. Air Force. Upon retiring from the military George worked as an electrical engineer, for Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, California which provided general systems, engineering, and technical direction to the U.S. Air Force rocket programs, to include the Athena, ATLAS, Mercury, and other systems. After his move to Missouri in 1973 George worked as a farmer and businessman in Aurora Missouri, owning the Aurora Agri-Center and later McCormick Rentals.

George's loving and caring spirit leaves behind not only his family but also many friends.

STILLPOINT Archive: last updated 04/24/2013
by Hilary Sherratt '12
By Hilary Sherrat '12
A few years ago, Valerie Gin, professor of recreation and leisure studies, invited a group of student athletes to squeeze onto the couches in her office and share their stories: of mistakes, triumphs, failures, confusion and lessons learned across multiple sports. Not only did they resonate with each other's stories, but the stories sparked the question: "What would I do in that situation?"
Before long Gin's office wasn't big enough for all the students clamoring to join the group. And it wasn't just Gordon athletes who had stories to tell! Gin took some students with her to Athletes in Action camps across the country to record other athletes' stories. Eventually, they put together a DVD. After
each story, questions are posed to the viewers concerning pervasive attitudes and moral dilemmas in sports—from trash-talking to cheating—providing a new framework for discussion and reflection.
Like news, stories travel, and it wasn't long before the DVDs were in wide circulation, including at major sports camps. That inspired Gin even further. "Coaches need stories, too," she said. "That role can feel especially isolated and lonely." So she and her students began to record coaches' stories, too.
To reach a wider audience, Gin, her coaching friends and her students created a website— wired4sport.com—so sportspeople could share their common experiences, learn from each other's stories, and promote "the value, integrity and love of sport." Much more than a collection of stories, wired4sport became an online community, where athletes support and encourage each other and celebrate sport.
"It's easiest to do what others have done, but it's definitely not as fun," Gin says. "Innovation is about the freedom to think in a new way, and bring people alongside you in a kind of synergy. It is about doing something creative, something that is invigorating and life giving. I think the truth is, God is innovative, and I was in the right places at the right time. God is creative in who he brings together, and how."
Hilary Sherratt is a grantwriter at Gordon.

Jeanne Tripplehorn just wants you to like her — or her Criminal Minds character, at least.
The Big Love alum will return to TV Wednesday on the CBS drama (9/8c) as new BAU member Alex Blake, and all she can think about is what will happen after the episode is over.
"The fan base is huge for this show and I am honestly nervous about what they will think of Alex," she tells TVGuide.com. "A show bringing somebody new in on the eighth season, especially if you've been [a fan] since Season 1 — people will have their opinions. I think the fans are incredible and I respect this insanely rabid fan base the show has, and I do want them to accept Alex. I hope they like her."
Fall TV: Get the scoop on your favorite returning showsTripplehorn's concerns aren't unjustified. The last time Criminal Minds added a new cast member — Rachel Nichols' Ashley Seaver in Season 6 — it sparked a near-revolt among fans, who were still miffed about A.J. Cook's and Paget Brewster's exits at the hands of CBS. (Both returned in Season 7 and Nichols was let go, with Brewster leaving again in the season finale.) Fans' biggest gripe about Seaver: She was a cadet. "It was crazy how hardcore they rebelled against her being a newbie," showrunner and executive producer Erica Messer says. "But that was a lesson. We learned from that and we did the opposite with Alex."A seasoned FBI agent, Alex has spent her whole career in the Bureau and has a second career as a linguistics professor at Georgetown. She has a Skype relationship with her husband, who's with Doctors Without Borders, and she knows Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), who has guest-lectured in her classes, and Hotch (Thomas Gibson) and Rossi (Joe Mantegna) from their lengthy careers. "The writers and producers really care about what the fans think, and we talked a lot about how she'd be introduced," Tripplehorn says. "They knew: We have to introduce Alex in a proper way and make sure that she doesn't alienate everybody and they can work alongside each other while also showing what she's like and what she's capable of."It won't be one big happy family right away. The premiere picks up several months after the events of the Season 7 finale, with Alex already working at the BAU and meeting Morgan (Shemar Moore) and Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) for the first time after they return from an assignment in London. And let's just say Garcia suffers a massive case of "open mouth, insert foot" before a totally not-amused Alex. "It's not the best first impression, but the good thing is they start over again in the end," Tripplehorn says. "Now, as we're shooting [more episodes], nice friendships are developing within the group."Left out of the lovefest is Strauss (Jayne Atkinson), who let Alex take the fall in the Amerithrax case after a linguistics error. That deterred Alex's admittance into the BAU and she has absolutely no qualms about showing her disdain for Strauss. "They lock horns and they're not finished yet," Tripplehorn says. "They're at a détente right now. I don't know how they're gonna explore it, but I love that Alex is upfront and not afraid to say what's on her mind."
Photos: Check out the most memorable TV character replacementsAlex's often-stern, hard-nosed temperament shouldn't be mistaken for aloofness though. "She is warm and altruistic, which hopefully you'll see throughout the season," Tripplehorn says. "But you can't forget that she's career FBI and ... she's a Type-Triple A, so she's hardened and tough. She wants to rid the world of evil. She's a hard worker and she's driven and she's completely different from Barb on Big Love! So that's been fun too."But the disparity between a sister-wife and an FBI agent wasn't what attracted Tripplehorn to Minds. Although the actress, who guest-starred on New Girl last season, ultimately wants to do a comedy, Minds is the "right job for right now" as she raises her 10-year-old son. "Really for the next eight years until he goes to college, I'm trying to stay as close to home as I can," she says. "There aren't a lot of productions that shoot here [in L.A.]. Just like Big Love was, this job is a godsend for a working mother. There are a lot of women who work on this show ... and it's a family here. All the crew has been here forever and ever. It's a great gig. Character-wise, in tone of project, genre — Alex Blake is exactly what I should be doing right now."Not a regular connoisseur of crime procedurals, Tripplehorn did not previously watch Minds, but screened all of Season 7 after she joined the show. "It's a classic crime drama, in that it follows this winning formula," she says. "I get why people watch these shows because there's something almost comforting because you know what you're gonna get as far as pacing. It's got this rhythm that is established. I want to see Seasons 1 and 2 simply because it was so long ago."
8 spoilers for Criminal Minds Season 8The first two seasons, of course, starred original cast member Mandy Patinkin, who abruptly left in Season 3, troubled by the show's dark nature. He recently expounded on his previous comments, telling New York Magazine that Minds was "destructive to my soul." Tripplehorn, however, says the show's gruesomeness was never a factor in her decision to sign on. "I was drawn to the women who run the show, the writers, the cast, the crew," she says. "So I don't really give [the violence] much thought. But the world is violent, and this is TV. It's fake. I can shake hands with all the corpses in the morgue."She continues: "But I was fascinated by the true crime stories when I was a little girl — Helter Skelter, the Zodiac killer. [I read] all the crime magazines. I don't know what that says about me! So in a way, it's almost like the young girl in me is tapped into this character of Alex Blake. So this is the perfect job." Criminal Minds premieres Wednesday at 9/8c on CBS.

Chris suggested getting over winter by bringing in fresh flowers. That's where BEAR got the idea to run out and fetch those irises.
Bergdorf Goodmans windows are full of 'POP' colors. I hope all those balloons don't pop before the week is up.
Are you kidding SHARON?
I'm addicted to BBC4 (and BBC 7)
In Paris I constantly need a shot of the BEEB
All that French all the time!
Bonjour Printemps indeed. I must day i am fresh and new to the French language and only just found out the French word for Spring.
I have seen it on so many visits.
Love you suggestions today.
Yes Spring is arriving for you and fall is for me...I can relive both my favourite seasons through blogging. x
Belss you for bringing spring to my screen! I am sorely in need.ReplyDelete
It is strange to see all these posts about Spring when we are just approaching a Autumn (although, it is a weak seasonal change in Australia). I love the splash of colours and the flowers! Beautiful iris watercolour, Carol!ReplyDelete
Oh, Carol, love these. I definitely see David's influence in some of those arrangements--they're gorgeous. Really lovely
I recognized Chris' camellia in there! Pretty! And Ian's gorgeous drawing.
Bonjour PB et Bonne Anniveraire Bear!
Have been out of town and missed a couple posts. LOVE LOVE LOVE the photos of Bear at the Palais Royale and tucked away in "his"? bag.
today's post is beautiful...love the japanese irises. Visited the Maclay gardens in Tallahassee and was overwhelmed by Camelias, Magnolias and flowering Red Bud trees.
Happy Spring!!!
I can't imagine anything nicer than being overwhelmed by flowers Suzanne.
I'm looking forward to that happening in Paris
Love your 'macaron' candles...
I have the same ones - calorie free!
Oh, Carol, merci beaucoup,
that is so sweet of you to include me in your spring line-up, it really is! *bisous*
I missed it yesterday, what with trying to do three different tasks all at the same time (it must be spring, I say, everybody wants something from me!). I coddled a secret dream of dashing down to Venice by night train, just for a day, to Sunday's Carnevale finale, alas, impossible. Maybe at the end of March, who knows? ;-)
To spring,
and thank you again,
big hug,

Thanks for running the recon mission and getting pics Ian! I hope I can do a day in September, although right now that month is looking extremely busy for me since I'll be moving sometime during the first couple of weeks, then have a big conference with work up in the mountains the 3rd weekend.
do you guys mind if I get the 719 crew in on this? we could go right up 83 to that park... it is a very nice drive actually!

Boeing safety features may have saved passengers
The design of the Boeing 777, as well as broader aircraft safety advancements, may have helped passengers survive the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash in San Francisco.
Stronger seats, fire resistant plane interiors and stronger planes are some of the aviation advances that experts say have contributed to more passengers surviving crashes like Saturday's. Of the 307 passengers and crew aboard Flight 214, nearly 200 were injured, but only two died.
Boeing 777s were in development during the late 1980s and early '90s, when many of those safety advancements were first available, said Airsafe.com Foundation director Todd Curtis, a former safety engineer with Boeing who worked on the 777. The design of the 777 took advantage of advances at the time including more easily opened exit doors.
A Boeing spokesman declined to comment, citing international protocol governing aviation accident investigations.
The Asiana aircraft in Saturday's crash, HL7742, was a Boeing 777-200ER—which debuted in 1997 and is one of the most common variants. Records indicate that HL7742 has been in use on Asiana Airlines since 2006.
Although the 777 design is more than a decade old, safety advancements in the interim would have been incorporated even in those early aircraft as part of regular maintenance and cabin upgrades over the years, said Larry Rooney, executive vice president for the Coalition of Airline Pilots Association, an industry group representing pilots unions.
Of particular relevance for Saturday's crash, the 777 uses Federal Aviation Administration requirements—new at the time of its design—that passenger seats withstand forces of at least 16 times that of gravity. Had the interior been built to older specifications, seats could have pushed together, crushing passengers and making escape more difficult, Curtis said.
More fire-retardant seats and flooring may have also had an impact, said Rooney. New materials are slower to burn and don't give off dangerous fumes, both of which could impede passenger evacuation.
Experts say it's less clear whether the 777's aluminum fuselage might have played a role, or performed better than a newer aircraft, many of which use carbon composites. (In June, Boeing said its forthcoming 777X would also use aluminum.) "It's too early to weigh in," said Thomas Kinton, an aviation consultant. Curtis said there's not enough information to gauge how a composite aircraft would have performed in the crash.
In general, the 777 is one of the safest aircraft, experts said. The National Transportation Safety Board has logged 57 incidents involving the aircraft since mid-1997, most of them minor. The most serious occurred in January 2008, when a British Airways Flight 38 arriving at Heathrow from Beijing crashed short of the runway. There were no fatalities, and the crash was attributed to ice crystals forming on the fuel line during the long-haul flight.
"It has a very good record compared with any major aircraft that has been introduced in the past 20 years," said Curtis. "Until Saturday, the 777 had zero [fatal flights]. Now it has 1."
Worried consumers have little recourse. Booking sites usually note aircraft type and sites such as SeatGuru.com and SeatPlans.com provide consumers with details on seat configuration. But it's less feasible to pick an aircraft than it is an aisle seat, said George Hobica, founder of AirfareWatchdog.com.
Airlines typically use the same aircraft for flights on a particular route, so it's tough to avoid (or angle for) a 777 in particular. Nor is it a necessary step, he said. Passengers would be better served paying attention to flight safety demonstrations and reading the instruction card in their seat-back pocket. "The 777 has a really good safety record; this could happen to any plane," he said.

Our agency has risen to the forefront of the preservation profession, gaining recognition for policies and model practices, and making preservation integral to our business.
College Park (Vocus) March 21, 2008
The National Historic Landmark Pioneer Courthouse in Portland, Oregon has won the Society for History in the Federal Government's prestigious 2007 John Wesley Powell prize for historic preservation, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today.
GSA's modernization of the Pioneer Courthouse was recognized as a model project for its exemplary physical renovation, innovative technical upgrades and commitment to strong public-involvement.
"GSA has a tremendous responsibility to preserve our nation's historic landmarks for this generation and all that follow," said Administrator Lurita Doan. "Restoring the spectacular Pioneer Courthouse has helped us meet our responsibility to the people of Portland, fulfill our overarching mission, and enhance our reputation as a leader in Federal preservation."
The courthouse opened in 1875 and remains the single-most important 19th Century government building in the Pacific Northwest. The site of nationally significant trials and hearings, it redefined Portland's city center. Improvements began as far back as 1903, with the addition of two west-facing wings, and continued at various times through 2007. The recent improvements restored historical features and readied the building for another century of continued court use.
"After serving the federal courts for the last century, this building stands today as one of GSA's historic properties that remains a true treasure in our inventory," said GSA's Commissioner of Public Buildings David L. Winstead. "Our agency has risen to the forefront of the preservation profession, gaining recognition for policies and model practices, and making preservation integral to our business."
GSA's preservation program is responsible for saving part of Portland's historic past, as well as helping to shape its future. A film documenting the building's history and preservation is available by visiting http://www.gsa.gov/historicbuildings.com.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
- Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
- GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
- GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
- Did You Know? Twenty-five percent of GSA's owned buildings are historic.

PROLOR Biotech Receives Notice of Allowance for New U.S. Patent Covering Broad Applications of its CTP Platform for Long Acting Therapeutic Proteins
Jan 07, 2013, 07:30 EST
NES-ZIONA, Israel, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PROLOR Biotech, Inc. (NYSE MKT: PBTH) today announced that it received a notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a patent application covering the company's CTP platform, which has the potential to extend the duration of activity of therapeutic proteins. The allowed claims cover manufacturing methods for CTP-modified compositions of a wide array of classes of therapeutic proteins, including hormones, high affinity protein ligands, proteins that induce or regulate an immune response, proteins involved with autocrine and paracrine activities, and mimetics of these therapeutic proteins, as well as other types of proteins.
This new U.S. patent is expected to be issued in the next few months.
"Upon issuance, this new patent is expected to further strengthen PROLOR's expanding intellectual property portfolio covering the CTP platform, as well as the new products we are developing using this versatile technology," said Shai Novik, president of PROLOR.
About PROLOR's CTP Technology
PROLOR's CTP technology is based on the naturally-occurring human carboxyl terminal peptide (CTP). When attached to a therapeutic protein, CTP significantly extends the length of time the protein remains active in the body. Clinical and preclinical studies have shown that the CTP technology appears to be safe and effective in extending the duration of all proteins tested to date. CTP's safety and efficacy have also been validated by the marketing approval of Merck's long-acting CTP-enhanced fertility drug Elonva® (FSH-CTP). A single Elonva injection replaces a regimen of seven daily FSH injections. Results from a Phase II trial of PROLOR's CTP-modified human growth hormone (hGH-CTP) in growth hormone deficient adults showed that a single weekly injection of hGH-CTP has the potential to replace seven consecutive daily injections of currently marketed human growth hormone. CTP was identified by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and is exclusively licensed to PROLOR for all proteins and peptides, except for four endocrine proteins that are licensed to Merck. CTP is manufactured using standard industrial biotech processes.
PROLOR Biotech, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company applying unique technologies, including patented CTP technology, primarily to develop longer-acting proprietary versions of already approved therapeutic proteins that currently generate billions of dollars in annual global sales. The CTP technology is applicable to virtually all proteins. PROLOR is currently developing a long-acting version of human growth hormone, which successfully completed a Phase II clinical trial. It also is developing long-acting versions of Factor VIIa and Factor IX for hemophilia and a GLP-1/Glucagon dual receptor agonist peptide for diabetes and obesity, all of which are in preclinical development.

Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may affect PROLOR's business and prospects, including the risks that PROLOR may not succeed in generating any revenues or developing any commercial products, including any long-acting versions of human growth hormone, erythropoietin, interferon beta, GLP-1 and other products; that the long-acting products in development may fail, may not achieve the expected results or effectiveness and/or may not generate data that would support the approval or marketing of these products for the indications being studied or for other indications; that ongoing studies may not continue to show substantial or any activity; that the actual dollar amount of any grants from Israel's Office of the Chief Scientist is uncertain and is subject to policy changes of the Israeli government, and that such grants may be insufficient to assist with product development; and other risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The results of clinical trials in humans may produce results that differ significantly from the results of clinical and other trials in animals. The results of early-stage trials may differ significantly from the results of more developed, later-stage trials. The development of any products using the CTP platform technology could also be affected by a number of other factors, including unexpected safety, efficacy or manufacturing issues, additional time requirements for data analyses and decision making, the impact of pharmaceutical industry regulation, the impact of competitive products and pricing and the impact of patents and other proprietary rights held by competitors and other third parties. In addition to the risk factors described above, investors should consider the economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors discussed in PROLOR's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date the statements were made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required under applicable law.

Upcoming speaking engagements: BLUG, Social Media Club of Chicago, AIPMM webinar, Social Media Strategies Summit
March 15 2013
Very excited about three upcoming opportunities where I will be talking social business and Opting In with three very different audiences:
- On March 26, here in Chicago I'll be part of a panel discussion at the Social Media Club of Chicago. We're going to be talking social in the context of this week's SXSW conference. Honestly, one of the challenges of having a worldwide responsibility at IBM is that I don't do enough local area networking, so a Chicago event gets me out of my home office and meeting like-minded people here in town. My presence on the panel also happened because of a Foursquare mayorship fight over my dentist's office, so there's a story right there. (NB: I'm not really using Foursquare much anymore. Not sure why.)
- On March 29, I'm participating in a webinar with the Association of International Product Marketing and Management, "Becoming the 'Social Product Manager'." This discussion is 100% based on my book Opting In, and the AIPMM audience is exactly who I had hoped to reach in writing a book about social business for the business leader. It's at 12 noon ET and is free to join. Registration link is on the AIPMM site. The host for the event, Cindy Solomon, has been very engaging and supportive; I'm really looking forward to this webinar.
- In April, I am participating in the Social Media Strategies Summit, also here in Chicago, on April 23 and 24. Here, my pre-conference workshop takes on the format of a case study of IBM using social business.
I'll also be covering IBM's MobileFirst strategy at some events very soon, starting next week with BLUG in Leuven, Belgium! Space is still available to attend BLUG, with a couple dozen amazing speakers all at no charge. On Thursday the 21st next week, I will also be at the IBM Business Connect event in Paris for some of the day, though not in a speaking capacity.
Last, I should start mentioning IBM's Impact conference at the end of April more regularly, April 28 to May 2. This is a Lotusphere/Connect-equivalent conference (actually significantly bigger) where we will have 35+ sessions on IBM MobileFirst. The website features a session preview tool and details of many of the event components, including the unconference, hackathon, and oh, Matchbox 20.
Hope to see you (or "see" you) soon!

text: O.K. ...... my local Eugene and Springfield Duders, and dudettes Is there any of you that would be interested in a weekly meet up at bars / taverns / pubs to pour down some booze, eat some food, and talk trash - errrr, I mean shop. Shop, being bikes, and ummmmm ....... other types of trash. Are we gonna let our brothers and sisters to the north of us be the only meet-up on the "wet" side in the PNW regional forums ??????? Let's see who's interested, and if it looks like there's a few of us, we can start planning where, what time, and what day. What say ye, ya FFs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! G.

First step is to cream the butter/shortening (or all shortening, if you wish), with the sugar. This took about 3 minutes to become really creamy. The eggs are added, one at a time. Now, it's time to add vanilla. I added one more ingredient-- "Buttery Sweet Dough Emulsion" is a product that I used to make "Perfect Pound Cake". I read that this extract/emulsion is great for cookies, so I added a scant teaspoon. (This later, proved to work beautifully. I love this stuff!)
Silpat mats, but lately I find that I prefer parchment paper. Either way, they make life a whole lot easier-- especially with clean up. These go into 350F for about 11-13 minutes. You want them to look golden, but a little gooey in the very middle is fine-- if you like chewy. Otherwise, add another minute or two, to the baking time.
