Looking at Education and Its Value through the Eyes of a Recent Nigerian Graduate
It is hardly necessary to point out that education is one of the crucial factors in economic development. Today it is barely possible to find a place on the Earth where knowledge would not be consideredto be an investment in the future. But if in some parts of the world education is a piece of cake, and young people are bewildered by the number of educational opportunities, with the luxury of choosing among the best options the market offers, in other places young adults must take part in a very competitive struggle to get access to an education. Often this involves quite dangerous, lengthy journeys abroad and separation from family and friends for long periods of time. Hussaini Garba Mohammed, Youth Time's contributor in Nigeria, has spoken with one of the youngest Northern Nigerian graduates, Marine Engineer Ahmad Khalil Yahaya, to discuss with him what challenges he had to face in order to get a degree and his experience with untold hardships that can lead to frustration and helplessness.
Youth Hero 2017 Mihailo Martinovic: I Would Be Honored to Become the Man Who Brought New Jobs to Serbia
Mihailo Martinovic (30), from Serbia, always wanted to be a Physics teacher in high school. However, life had different plans for him and instead, with a little bit of help from his Professors and thanks to his hard work through the years, he became a talented scientist with worldwide connections. He won the Youth Hero 2017 award for achievements in education and science at the age of 29 and was the youngest Doctor of Astronomy in Serbia at the time. Today, Mihailo enjoys his job working on a Solar Orbiter project as a part of an international team of scientists at the European Space Agency, exploring something called solar wind plasma! He also works in the Astronomy Department at the Faculty of Mathematics in Belgrade. He hopes his work will open doors to many talented young people who won't rush to leave the country and will stay in Serbia to change the face of science from home.
Spend Less Time on Your Phone Might Be Easier Than You Think
According to Nielsen and ComScore research, four hours per day is the time that average American adult spend scrolling through his phone. Depression, anxiety, loss of productivity, and many other consequences, conditions, and traits are now linked by the scientific community to the time we spend on the internet, particularly social media. Rehman Ata, scientist and the founder of GoGray.Today was shocked when he started to measure the time he spends on his phone daily. He found himself using the phone five hours per day on average, mostly Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. He knew he needed to change something and came up with very simple method how to reduce his phone usage. We have an interview with him and ask him about his thoughts on various related subjects.
The Young Couple Is Traveling The World And Showing How Beautiful Some Places On Earth Are
Alex and Valentina are two young & brave people who decided to leave their jobs and to travel around the world. Being creatives they went on taking bunch of fabulous photos and videos. But more than visual representation, I was fascinated by the deep conclusions and profound meanings these two have found throughout their trip. Was it all so easy? How did they manage their living? From being stuck on a cherry farm in Canada to building a bed in an old minivan and feeling like pilgrims - this adorable couple has done it all. Have dreams - will travel? Read on my interview with Alex to find a few tips on how to make your travel dreams come true.
Does Telepathy Exist? – An Interview With Dr. Stanley Krippner
Is there more to a human being than most of us recognize? Do dreams carry messages? Does Extrasensory Perception exist? Does Telepathy exist? Dr. Stanley Krippner, professor of psychology at Saybrook University – who has conducted workshops in many parts of the world and is on the advisory board of the International School of Psychotherapy – will answer these questions and more in this interview.
Wishful thinking for some is reality for a few others. The interconnected world we live in makes it possible, and sometimes quite rewarding, to become a nomad, travel the world, do what you wish to do, perhaps even live on your own tems to an extent and earn a good living. We are interviewing Alexander Waltner of Sweden, who has made all of these dreams his personal reality.
Dr Stephanie Fanucchi – Curiosity Can Change the World
While other kids could not wait to escape from chemistry or biology classes, Dr. Stephanie Fanucchi, was more than eager to experiment and learn something new. Her fascination with science began at an early age and continued growing as her interest and knowledge grew as well. This year, Dr. Fanucchi became one of 15 young women scientists recognised for her innovative research in cancer and auto-immune diseases – winning a prestigious award from the L'Oréal UNESCO for Women in Science programme. And while she speaks about DNA modification, genes, cells kissing and incredible cutting-edge discoveries in the world of biochemistry and cell biology, she dreams big, yet simple dreams – to work in a biotech startup company one day and to be remembered as a relentlessly curious human being.
New And A Different Approach To Alzheimer's Disease Drug Discovery – An Interview With Dr. David Schubert
Medical science offers no treatments to cure Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, ALS and other neuro degenerative diseases. There are also no preventive medicines available. Dr. David Schubert, Professor and Laboratory Head at the Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory at the Salk Institute, has been researching Alzheimer's to bring relief to those millions who are in desperate need of help. We have an opportunity to interview Dr. Schubert.
Can Couples Change Each Other's Lives For The Better Or The Worse?

The American Modelica Conference 2018
The American Modelica Conference 2018, Oct. 9-10, 2018 in Cambridge, MA, near Boston
Oct 08, 2018 08:00 AM
Oct 10, 2018 06:00 PM
|Cambridge, MA
|Contact Name
|Michael Tiller
|Add event to calendar
The American Modelica Conference 2018 will be held at the Samberg Conference Center in Cambridge, MA, the United States of America from October 9 - 10, 2018. It is organized by the Modelica Association and the North American Modelica User Group NAMUG.
The Modelica Conference is the main event for users, library developers, tool vendors and researchers to share their knowledge and learn about the latest scientific and industrial progress related to Modelica and to the Functional Mockup Interface (FMI). The program will cover modeling of complex physical and cyber-physical systems, as well as tools, for a wide range of research and industrial applications. All contributions are peer-reviewed and selected by the Program Committee. This conference is co-organized by NAMUG, the North American Modelica Users' Group, and the Modelica Association.
This conference will have one or several conference tracks with presentations of peer-reviewed papers as all Modelica conferences, but it will, in addition, have one track of industrial user-oriented presentations as user meetings by NAMUG have had for the last 5 years, that does not need to be accompanied by a full scientific paper. The abstracts of the presentations will also be peer-reviewed by the conference board.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Cambridge, MA.
Dr. Michael Tiller and Associate Professor Luigi Vanfretti, PhD
General Chair (Xogeny) and Program Chair (Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute)
Conference Venue
The conference will take place at the new Samberg Conference Center of MIT in Cambridge, MA in the Boston area. The photo gallery of the conference center's website gives a good impression of the location. The address of the Conference Center is:
Samberg Conference Center
MIT Chang Building (E52)
50 Memorial Drive
Cambridge, MA
There are no special Hotel rates available for this conference. Hotels in central Boston and Cambridge are notoriously expensive. There is an unavoidable trade-off between convenience (central and close to the conference center) and price (further out is cheaper). Here are some nearby hotels ranked from convenient to more affordable:
Boston Marriott Cambridge
Two Cambridge Center
50 Broadway,
Cambridge, MA, 02142
Still pretty close, a bit cheaper:
Hampton Inn Boston/Cambridge
191 Monsignor O'Brien Highway
Cambridge, MA, 02141
A little further out, but more affordable:
Hotel Indigo Boston - Newton Riverside
399 Grove St
Boston, MA, 02162
Even further out, but feasible with a hotel shuttle to the T-line at Alewife and then a subway ride to the conference:
Crowne Plaza Boston - Woburn
15 Middlesex Canal Park
Woburn, MA, 01801
Another option that is usually more affordable than hotels in Boston is Airbnb.
Scope of the Conference
Modelica is a freely available, equation-based, object-oriented language for convenient and efficient modeling of complex, multi-domain cyber-physical systems described by ordinary differential, difference, and algebraic equations. The companion Modelica Standard Library has been utilized in demanding industrial applications, including full vehicle dynamics, power systems, robotics, hardware-in-the-loop simulations and embedded control systems.
The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) is a freely available standard for the tool-independent exchange of models and for co-simulation. It is supported by many Modelica and non-Modelica tools and is the key to utilize Modelica models in non-Modelica environments.
The Modelica conference will bring together people using Modelica and/or FMI for modeling, simulation, and control applications, Modelica language designers, Modelica and/or FMI tool vendors and Modelica library developers. It provides Modelica users the opportunity to stay informed about the latest language, library, and tool developments, and to get in touch with people working on similar modeling problems. Expected topics for both papers and user presentations include but are not limited to:
- Multi-engineering modeling and simulation with free and commercial Modelica libraries (mechanics, electrical, hydraulics, thermal fluid, media, chemical, building, automotive, aircraft, etc.)
- Automotive applications
- Thermodynamic and energy systems applications
- Mechatronics and robotics applications
- Medicine and biology applications
- Other industrial applications, such as electric drives, power systems, aerospace, etc.
- Large-scale system modeling
- Real-time and hardware-in-the-loop simulation
- Simulation and code generation for embedded control systems
- Simulation acceleration by use of many CPU cores or GPU cores
- Applications of Modelica for optimization and optimal control
- Modelica modeling, simulation, and design tools
- Symbolic algorithms and numerical methods for model transformation and simulation
- Discrete modeling techniques − FEM, CFD, DEM (Discrete Element Method), etc.
- New features of the Modelica language and of FMI
- Experimental language designs and implementations related to Modelica
- Modelica in other application areas (mathematical programming, databases, etc.)
- Modelica for teaching and education
- FMI in Modelica and non-Modelica applications and tools
In addition, the conference will include a Modelica vendor exhibition.
Call for Papers (open)
Please see the Call for papers for further information about the submission and/or application process and the submission templates. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by the conference Program Committee (3 reviews per paper). The conference proceedings will be published electronically. After the conference, the proceedings will be available online. Authors keep the copyright for their papers and just provide non-exclusive publication rights to the Modelica Association.
The conference proceedings will be published by the Modelica Association on its website and by Linköping University Electronic Press. Each paper will be individually referenced by a DOI.
The authors of the 10% top papers submitted to the conference will be invited to submit an extended version after the Conference, for inclusion in a special issue of an open-access, ISI-referenced journal. Please note that the extended papers will undergo a full peer-review process which is independent of the one of the Modelica Conference.
Free Modelica Workshops
The North American Modelica Users' Group, NAMUG, with generous support from MERL (Mitsubishi Electric Research Lab) will organize two free Modelica workshops, Monday, October 8th before the conference at the offices of MERL in Cambridge. If you are interested in attending one of these workshops, please select "Workshop Ticket" on the Eventbrite site of the conference. We will add information on this site when we have enough participants, and inform all who expressed interest via email. These workshops also include "hands-on-tutorial or exercise" sessions aiming to support beginners in the Modelica language and the FMI standard.
Workshop 1: Introduction to Modeling with Modelica
This workshop will give an introduction to Modelica. We will be presenting the principles of modeling with Modelica and efficient use of model libraries using various multi-domain examples selected to make the workshop attractive for engineers from all branches of engineering.
Workshop 2: Thermo-fluid Modeling with Applications from the Buildings Library
This workshop will give an introduction into modeling of thermo-fluid systems and their control, using Modelon's latest graphical editor. We will be using applications from the Buildings library, but the course will be structured to also appeal to modelers from other application domains that are concerned with thermo-fluid systems.
Exhibition and Sponsorship

Kickstarter Page for Wasteland 2 Now Active
Posted: 07:51PM
Author: bp9801
A little while back, inXile founder and Fallout developer Brian Fargo mentioned he wanted to make a sequel to Wasteland, the first post-apocalyptic RPG and predecessor to Fallout. Fargo saw the success Tim Schafer was having with his Kickstarter project, and wanted to see if the fans could help out for a new Wasteland. Fargo's idea is to remain as true as possible to the original Wasteland, meaning an isometric adventure, with none of the restraints of a publisher. Now, the Kickstarter page for Wasteland 2 is live and you can help reach the $900,000 goal. Much of the original team is back at work on Wasteland 2, even composer Mark Morgan, and there will be various rewards at different pledge levels.
A pledge of $15 nets you a digital, DRM-free copy of the game, $30 gets you the game and soundtrack, and higher tiers provide even more. You can get your name in the credits, appear in the game, extra copies, and even an in-game statue of your likeness. Head on over to the Kickstarter page to donate and help with the return of a classic RPG. There are 34 more days to go and although the amount right now is nearly $450,000, anything over that goal will allow for more to be added to Wasteland 2.

Has it been a year?
So, now that this year's JCS Halloween issue is out, I'm finally finishing something from last year's issue! This is 'Not Forgotted' by Plum Street Samplers, stitched with the called for Gentle Arts on 40 count vintage light examplar linen. It was a great project to have with me at the hospital recently when my son had surgery, as I had already stitched the black outlines so I could just work on the filling in stitches. This chart is pictured on the front of the 2012 Halloween issue, but is not actually *in* it. I found the chart on the JCS website. I have one more from this issue almost done, hopefully this week!

Decided to give myself a nice b-day present:
Completed writing my second book, Thieves' Castle!!
93,472 words!
(barring another month or so of editing hell....)
Tyburn was an infamous execution spot west of London, used since medieval times. The Tyburn "tree" - a unique, multi-person gallows - erected in 1571 became a popular public spectacle, drawing crowds of thousands.Tyburn Tree blog is less blood-thirsty but hopefully topical, interesting and informative, if slightly bent to my personal topics of interest - books, writing, history, technology, with a smattering of politics and dash of pop culture, science and the downright strange. So "take a ride to Tyburn" and see what happens...

Whenever you buy an on-contract device from a carrier, you're expected to pay an activation fee on top of the money you pay for the product itself. At AT&T, this used to be a $36 fee, but it was raised to $40 on June 8. Whether you feel it is just for them to charge this fee just for activating your device isn't really the point, though feel free to speak your mind in the comments.
This increase raises AT&T's upgrade fee above all other carriers in the US. Part of the reason for this is to push people onto the AT&T Next program. But if you want to stick with the regular plans, you'll have to pay $4 extra for each upgrade now.
This doesn't sound like a big deal, but considering how expensive AT&T is in general, it's a little disappointing that the company is trying to charge its customers even more. I guess this is exactly why people are switching to T-Mobile lately. What do you think of this more expensive fee? Leave a comment!

Athina Rachel Tsangari is a notable member of what-is-called the "Greek Weird Wave", the new era of Greek cinema, along with Lanthimos, Avranas and many other Greek film directors. The international success of these filmmakers is what has gained attention to the Greek cinema once again.
The 47 year old film director, writer and producer was born in Athens and studied literature in Thessaloniki, performance studies in New York and film directing in Austin, Texas. Her first feature films she directed were "The Slow Business of Going" (2000) and "Attenberg" (2010). The last one won many awards in major film festivals around the world, including the Best Actress Award in Venice Film Festival for Arian Labed. This terrific drama depicts the coming of age of a young woman as she deals with her father's terminal illness and her first sexual experiences. While sometimes being quite awkward for the viewer, "Attenberg" offers a fresh take of a conventional storyline.
Tsangari's follow-up is "The Capsule", an avant garde co-operation with Polish artist Aleksandra Waliszewska. The film is truly a capsule of the filmmaker's radical vision and high aesthetic. As part of DesteFashionCollection 2012, the film was presented at Barney's in New York but also screened in Locarno, Toronto and at the Sundance Film Festival.
While still living in the USA, she founded the Cinematexas International Short Film Festival, which ran from 1995 to 2006. She was also a projection designer and video director of the creative team led by Dimitris Papaioannou, that designed the Opening and Closing ceremonies of the 2004 Olympics in Athens. In 2013 she was member of the jury of the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival and directed a short film, part of the project "Venezia 70 – Future Reloaded" for the Venice Film Festival.
Tsangari has lived outside from Greece for almost 20 years but has now returned and she is there to stay, despite the crisis the country is facing at the moment. "This is the situation and somehow we have to fix it now, and cinema is a great way to do that. I'm not saying I'm going to make a film about the riots – I don't want to be that literal – but Greece is an unknown country, even to its citizens, and I want to discover it for myself", said the director at an interview for The Guardian.
Here at ÉCU, we are excited to see what more she has to give the indie world. The cinema that Tsangari represent it's made of all the elements that ÉCU stands for: originality, creativity, experimentation and free spirit. Kudos, Athina!

From the magazine business, I went to the book publishing business in the spring of 1979. First with Word in Waco, Texas then with Thomas Nelson in Nashville. In 1987, Wolgemuth & Hyatt Publishers was launched with capital from investors.
On March 2, 1992 Mike Hyatt and I hung a shingle as literary agents. Until that moment, as a publisher, I knew enough about the agenting craft to deeply dislike it and the stereotype of those I suspected of trafficking in it.
But in no time at all, I had found another passion…as an agent. Having the chance to share and shape the dreams of gifted authors and then work alongside their publishers as an ally, in one of the most difficult and challenging industries known to man, was a thrill. Sitting on the front row of a screaming rollercoaster did not compare.
In the years since, the literary agency has grown. From a small handful of authors whom Mike and I had published ourselves and working with one or two houses to our current list of clients and "customers", I have experienced the tremendous joy of this peculiar calling.
In the mid-nineties, a publisher asked Mike which authors our firm represented. Mike gave him a quick rundown. The publisher seemed remarkably unimpressed. Even bothered by the list.
"What's the matter?" Mike asked.
"Well," the publisher responded after an extended pause. "Sounds like you and Robert are in a terrific position to mess up a lot of Kingdom work."
As Mike told me the story of his troubling conversation, we both found little cause for levity. What our publisher friend had said was sobering. Maybe true.
We were stewards, a word that rolls off the tongue…a concept that runs counter to conventional wisdom in manifold dimensions.
Our names were on the letterhead but we didn't own anything at all.
In 1998, Mike decided that he wanted to get back into a leadership and management setting inside a publishing house, which he very quickly did. I agreed to purchase his share of the agency.
In the fall of 2005, concerned about succession for my business and after a few conversations with prospective buyers of the firm, I decided to hire two young and gifted men.
They were inexperienced in the ways of book publishing, but quick studies (both were summa cum laude graduates from Taylor University) and hard workers. These men, my nephews, Andrew and Erik Wolgemuth, changed almost everything about how I spent my time. Managing the day-to-day details, keeping in constant contact with clients and publishers, and learning the twists and turns of publishing contracts has moved our firm to a new level of efficiency and productivity.
In January, 2009, we hired Mrs. Susan Kreider as our Administrative Assistant. Having spent many years in this role with another company, she very quickly took charge of the myriad details that swirl around a busy firm like ours.
Then in May, 2011, we invited Austin Wilson, a recent graduate of Moody Bible Institute with a degree in Communications/Publishing, to be my Executive Associate.
Robert Wolgemuth has been in the media business for thrity-nine years. A former president of Thomas Nelson Publishers, he is the owner of Wolgemuth & Associates, Inc., a literary agency exclusively representing the writing work of more than one hundred authors.
Dr. Wolgemuth is a speaker and best-selling author of over twenty books. His books include, She Calls Me Daddy, the notes to the Dad's Devotional Bible, The Most Important Place on Earth, and What's in the Bible: The Story of God through Time and Eternity, co-written with R.C. Sproul. His other collaborative works include Men of the Bible, The Most Important Year in a Man's Life, and She Still Calls Me Daddy.
Robert is known as a champion for the family, effective communication, leadership, listening skills, relationship building, and biblical truth.
Among his professional accomplishments, he has served two terms as the Chairman of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association.
A 1969 graduate of Taylor University, from where he received an honorary doctorate in May, 2005, Dr. Wolgemuth is the father of two grown daughters, two sons-in-law, and five grandchildren. He and his wife, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, live in Michigan.
Andrew has been surrounded, challenged, taught, and blessed by books and great authors for his entire life, and he's had the privilege of working with them as a literary agent since 2005. His first official paycheck came from Wolgemuth & Hyatt Publishers a couple of decades ago. His second employer was Can-Do Trash and Recycling Service. That was a good gig (though likely his only venture into waste disposal services), but it's significantly less relevant to his present occupation.
The humbling joy of agenting calls him to serve our clients by stewarding their work with wisdom and diligence, and working to see that it's delivered to readers with excellence. This takes many forms including advising clients throughout the process; serving as their advocate, sounding board, and representative; and doing his best to ensure that there's follow-through and timeliness on all fronts.
Andrew is a reader, a jogger, a sports fan, the lucky husband of Chrissy, a dad of three girls and a son, and a foster care and adoption advocate. He and his family have lived in Colorado since 2008.
Regularly amazed at the power of the written word in books, Erik has had the immense privilege of playing a part in their creation since 2005. He finds a unique joy in each stage of the publishing process – from ideation to holding the bound pages to seeing a book release and take off in the marketplace. Throughout the process, Erik is both sobered and energized by the privilege of stewarding a God-honoring message.
Erik is blessed to call Kendal his wife and fills his hours away from work playing with their three kids. Living in Colorado is wonderful if you love the outdoors, which he does. He's always ready (unless the Jayhawks are playing basketball) for some cycling, hiking, camping, skiing, etc. Perhaps the one thing that would pull him away from representation is a cycling career, but – at this point – the odds aren't good. In the meantime, he rides the rural roads to the east and the mountain passes to the west. And he loves to read. He's never without a stack in his "to-read" pile… his literary eyes are bigger than his stomach.
Austin started his publishing career working part time at Moody Publishers while he was a student. He has always been a passionate reader and his time with Wolgemuth & Associates has further enhanced his love of words and the entire publishing process. Austin is passionate about serving his clients throughout each stage of the publishing process. Helping to steward an author's idea from concept to bound book is an incredible privilege.
Growing up in the suburbs of Detroit, Austin and Kendall met when he was in the fifth grade. Austin is a pastor's kid, enjoys the outdoors, and is an avid backpacker. Austin, Kendall, and their children live with their chocolate lab, in Parker, Colorado.
Hayley serves as our team's administrative assistant. Her passion is to help lost and hurting people discover truth through the written word, and she considers it an immense privilege to see our clients do the same with their work.
Before joining Wolgemuth & Associates, Hayley dreamed of working in publishing, writing blog posts and devouring books late into the night. Her diverse résumé includes: selling waffle fries, shelving library books, tutoring freshmen, stocking shelves, teaching music, editing curriculum, accompanying solo musicians, substitute teaching, and interning in a maximum security prison.
She is a homeschool graduate and a 2013 alumna of Missouri Southern State University, where she studied piano performance. During her time there, she served as the president of two campus organizations, and was recognized by her peers as the outstanding campus leader for her graduating class.
In addition to her role on our team, she also serves in editorial services with Revive Our Hearts, an international women's ministry led by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
When she's not writing, you can find Hayley chasing adventures in libraries, on hiking trails and city sidewalks, in the kitchen, and in deep conversations. She lives in southwest Michigan.

Groundbreaking for the Shops at Stonefield Set for Spring 2011
Mar 09, 2011, 06:03 EST
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., March 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A groundbreaking moment has arrived for the Shops at Stonefield—with the new development by Edens & Avant set to begin construction in spring of this year. Creating a dynamic new shopping, entertainment and residential district in the heart of Charlottesville, Virginia, the first phase of the project includes 270,000 square feet of retail, a 135 room hotel, along with a diverse mix of residential properties.
Designed as a unique gathering place for the local community, The Shops at Stonefield will feature outdoor dining, pocket parks and a central plaza. A pedestrian-friendly environment will link best-in-class retail with a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences – a center specifically created as a natural extension of Charlottesville's historic aesthetics and unique culture.
Located at the intersection of Hydraulic Road and Route 29, Stonefield will be anchored by a 65,000 square foot Regal Cinema, with 14 screens and stadium seating, making it the largest cinema within a 60 mile radius of Charlottesville. It will also be the only theater in the region offering "the IMAX experience," an immersive environment that allows viewers to watch movies in 3D.
"From the beginning, a state-of-the-art cinema has been part of our strategic plan as we create the foundation for a signature shopping and entertainment experience," said Jessica Bruner, Vice President of Leasing for Edens & Avant. "In addition to Regal Cinemas, we are extremely excited to introduce Trader Joe's to Charlottesville - a specialty grocer that we feel is a perfect fit for such a progressive community."
Trader Joe's will be approximately a 12,500 SF store. Along with Regal Cinema, Edens & Avant is also assembling an eclectic mix of regional retailers and restaurants that will be characteristic of the Charlottesville community.
"We are very excited to commence work on what we feel will be a truly unique retail, restaurant and residential district," said Steven Boyle, Edens & Avant Managing Director. "The citizens of Charlottesville have been patient with this project, and we are pleased to finally deliver it to the community."
At completion, the shops will offer 1.2 million square feet of retail and mixed uses. The development is anticipated to generate 722 new jobs in retail and hotel management, as well as 1700 new construction jobs over the life of the project.
Edens & Avant has awarded the construction contract to Faulconer Construction Company, a Charlottesville based site work contractor that has been a mainstay of the Central Virginia construction trade since 1946.

Lea Michele and Naya Rivera took a break from filming 'Glee' to buy lunch at a food cart in New York City a few days ago. It's nice to see these two are friends in real life. I love 'Glee', it has quickly become one of my favourite series to watch on TV.
Naya was wearing a very short pair of Abercrombie & Fitch shorts which she paired with boots and a tied up shirt. I can't say I am a fan of this look actually, I much prefer Lea's simple ensemble. I do love the shorts though, the wash and distressing is really nice.

From Charleston, South Carolina, USA:
I recently met a 41 year old man who has had juvenile diabetes since age 6. I have very strong feelings for this person. How can I interact positively with him? I do want to pity him or try to "help" him. But in order for our relationship to go further I need to know how to break down the barrier he has imposed in order for people not to get close because of his diabetes.
People can set up barriers to prevent others from getting close to them for many reasons. Diabetes can be one reason, but there may be others.
I suggest you just try to relate to this person the same way you would to anyone else without diabetes. Find out what he likes to do in his spare time, what foods he likes to eat, what he likes to read, what sports or music he likes. If the relationship grows, hopefully he will feel comfortable sharing information about his diabetes with you too. In the meantime, you can read and learn about diabetes on your own.
Good luck to both of you!

I Love 9/11
The GOP convention's nostalgia for tragedy.
NEW YORK—If it's true that the better speech-giver wins in presidential elections, then it's going to be Bush in a landslide. In his speech accepting the Republican nomination for the presidency—particularly the powerful final third—the president provided the eloquence that the times demand. It's too bad he doesn't have the presidency to match his (or Michael Gerson's) rhetoric.
The inspiration the president provided, however, was overshadowed by the disturbing nostalgia for Sept. 11 that preceded it. The phenomenon of "faster nostalgia" keeps accelerating, and the decades we reminisce about grow closer and closer to the present with each passing year. But the two political conventions this August must be the first recorded instances of nostalgia for the 21st century.
During the Democratic convention, too many speakers looked back to 9/11 with fondness. They didn't recall the months after the worst foreign attack in American history as a sad and tragic time. Instead, they appeared to remember those days as a warm-and-fuzzy time of national unity, now lost because of Republican partisanship. But the GOP's wistful look back at the tragedy as a marvelous occasion that somehow justifies the re-election of President Bush was even more stomach-turning. The convention's final night had the air of a VH-1 special: I Love Sept. 11.
Before President Bush came out to speak, the convention's image-masters aired a hagiographic video, a 9/11 retrospective that was Field of Dreams as told by the narrator of The Big Lebowski, with a dash of the David McCullough sections of Seabiscuit. (Like The Dude's rug in Lebowski, 9/11 really tied Bush's presidency together.) The reason to re-elect Bush, actual narrator Fred Thompson implied, is not the foreign-policy actions he took after being saddled with a historic tragedy. No, Bush merits re-election because of his performance as an Oprah-like healer in chief. He placed a deceased New York cop's badge in his pocket. He jogged with a wounded soldier. And most of all, he went to a baseball game.
"What do a bullhorn and a baseball have in common?" Thompson asked, and soon we were told: The defining moment of the Bush presidency came not only on Sept. 14, as previously thought, when Bush stood at Ground Zero and proclaimed that the terrorists who struck New York and Washington would "hear from us." It also came a month later, when Bush marched to the mound of Yankee Stadium and boldly, decisively, resolutely tossed out the first pitch of the World Series. "What he did that night, that man in the arena, he helped us come back.That's the story of this presidency," Thompson said, as I wondered how many takes it took Thompson to do this without giggling. You keep pitching, no matter what, Thompson said. You go to the game, no matter what. "You throw, and you become who you are." The delegates went nuts. Remember that time Osama chased Bush's slider in the dirt?
The absurd film was actually Bush's second introduction. The first had come five minutes earlier, when New York Gov. George Pataki finished his speech, a repugnant politicization of Sept. 11. At first, like the video, Pataki's use of 9/11 was just laughable, such as when he took a moment to thank the good people of the swing states Oregon, Iowa, and Pennsylvania for their generosity in New York's hour of need. The despicable moment came later, when he blamed the Clinton administration for the terrorist attacks.
After 9/11, "The president took strong action to protect our country," Pataki said. "That sounds like something any president would do. How I wish that were so." Instead, Bill Clinton shamefully ignored the attacks on the World Trade Center, the embassies, and the U.S.S. Cole. "How I wish the administration at that time, in those years, had done something," Pataki said. "How I wish they had moved to protect us. But they didn't do it."
But, wait—didn't President Clinton strike at Osama Bin Laden's training camps in 1998? And didn't Republicans criticize him for doing it? I think it's misguided and pointless to discuss whether 9/11 was preventable, and it's a waste of time to ponder who is more blameworthy, Bush or Clinton. But since Pataki brought it up, isn't the fact that President Bush presided over the most catastrophic attack on the U.S. mainland in American history a strike against him, not a point in his favor? If it was so obvious that the nation needed to attack al-Qaida more forcefully in the 1990s, why did President Bush take nine months to pay attention to the threat? And didn't the Clinton administration disrupt the planned millennium bombing of Los Angeles International Airport? Wasn't that a move to protect us? Nothing Zell Miller said Wednesday was as loathsome as Pataki's speech.
There was an honest case to be made for war with Iraq: Saddam Hussein did not possess nuclear weapons, but he was pursuing them and needed to be toppled before he acquired them. President Bush never made that case, preferring instead to exaggerate the nature and immediacy of the threat and to link al-Qaida with Iraq in the public mind. This convention continued that disgraceful record, muddying the distinction between 9/11 and Iraq, conflating the war of necessity the nation faced after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon with the war of choice in Iraq, and repeatedly telling the lie that John Kerry wants to wait until the nation is struck again before crushing al-Qaida.
The president's defenders say he invaded Iraq with good intentions, and I believe them. But if President Bush didn't mislead us into war, he's misleading us during one, and he deserves to be defeated for it.

Mexico City - Creative Industries
Hi, my names Brendan and I'm 25 from Sydney, Australia. I've recently made the decision to move to Mexico City (arrive in December) to live with my girlfriend (who's Mexican) and I'm just wondering about work and gaining employment.
I currently run my own record label and also manage a cafe in Sydney. I have previously worked as a booking agent in a music booking agency as well as a tour manager/assistant artist manager at a record label/management company. Prior to these roles I was a litigation support clerk for 3 years in a legal company and prior to that the head screen printer in a screen printing company.
My passions are music and advertising and these are two areas I am hoping to gain employment within. Is anyone familiar/working in these areas and can help point me in the direction of the best way to gain employment within either of these areas?
I have great depth of knowledge across the music, advertising and fashion industries both in Australia and abroad and am becoming familiar with these industries in Mexico through research.
I hope someone is able to give me a better insight into the employment process as this is a key part of me moving to Mexico City.


text: CMO Close-Up with Matt Bowman, VP-demand generation, Teleperformance USA Published on July 11, 2012. Matt Bowman is VP-demand generation at Teleperformance USA, a business process outsourcing company that provides customer service, technical support and chat support to Fortune 500 companies. In the following interview with CMO Close-Up, he discusses effective demand-generation practices for b-to-b marketers. CMO Close-Up: What is your job as VP-demand generation? Bowman: I'm responsible for managing the very early stages of the sales cycle. As little as 10 years ago, particularly in the b-to-b space, when prospective customers wanted to learn about their options, how to overcome a particular challenge, is the solution feasible and could they afford it—the typical questions a person goes through in the early stages of the sales cycle—they used to have to go to a salesperson. Now, because of changes in technology and consumer buying behaviors, often vendors are being eliminated long before a person picks up the phone to talk to a salesperson. That is the stage I manage. I have identified three distinct stages a person goes through before they're ready to talk to a salesperson, and I help develop collateral as well as user experiences to guide them to the answers they need before talking to a salesperson. CMO Close-Up: What are those three stages? Bowman: They will vary according to industry, but the three stages are awareness—I'm aware I have a problem, and how are others solving it; options—what options are available to me to solve the problem; and what vendors are out there to provide me the options I am now interested in? CMO Close-Up: How do you market to prospects effectively at the early stages of the buying cycle? Bowman: One of the best practices is to realize that just because you've been able to attract someone's interest in downloading a white paper or attending a webinar, don't assume they are ready to talk to a salesperson. Some companies spend a lot of money to get people to download a white paper, and then immediately they get a salesperson to call them. At this stage, only between 11% and 15% are ready to talk to a salesperson and move into the next stage. For the rest, a drip marketing campaign is a very cost-effective way to nurture them. The messages have to be segmented and highly relevant in order to avoid getting opted out. You need a drip marketing system to allow you to do dynamic content on your website, landing pages and emails based on the prospect's title, demographics, industry, department, etc. Another best practice is trigger-based drip marketing. It's one thing to map out a whole series of drip marketing emails. What's even more effective is monitoring which white papers they're downloading, which web pages they're looking at, which webinars they're attending, and (then) sending them other material related to the information they have downloaded. CMO Close-Up: Which vehicles do you use to deliver more material? Bowman: My first option is email. In my experience, if I'm going after a C-level executive, emails don't work that well, so it may be a matter of sending them something in the mail. But for a VP/director level, I'm still finding email effective and cost-efficient. Most execs will quickly skim through all emails. If you have the right subject line, don't come across as a pushy marketer and make it personal and relevant, you can still reach people that way. CMO Close-Up: Do you have an example of a recent demand gen program you've implemented using these best practices? Bowman: I was brought in recently on a campaign, and the initial campaign was sent out to try to attract the interest of viewers in watching an online video. The target audience was customer experience senior execs—chief customer experience officer or VP-customer experience. The proper foundation had been set and the audience had been segmented. It all boils down to the quality of the list, the quality of the call to action, and the quality of the creative. The original (campaign) was an HTML email, which I am no longer a fan of, (that) was very much, "Download now,' in typical marketing verbiage. The response rate was about half a percent, which was quite bad. Without changing the list, I created a new call to action and creative. Instead of using HTML code, I used plain-text email and made it very personal. It was still a mass email, but there is such a thing as dynamic email, where you can change certain things in the email so it's still personalized. We sent out the invitation to view the email to the same group about three weeks later, and the open rate jumped from less than 1% to close to 15%, and the conversion ratio—people who actually clicked on the link to watch the video, jumped from less than 1% to 11.4%. CMO Close-Up: How did you make it personal? Bowman: You can mention their company name, their name and, if I'm going after a chief customer experience officer, I will include a paragraph that specifically mentions topics of concern to a VP-customer experience or chief customer experience officer. CMO Close-Up: Why are you not a fan of HTML? Bowman: I'm not a big fan of HTML because the open rate isn't as good, particularly when people are checking emails on the road with their mobile device or tablet. (HTML) doesn't open up as clearly, and depending on how the email viewer is set up, they may not see the subject line. If it's just plain text, at least they can see the subject line and read the email. Most Popular In this article: BtoB

She's an artist, a tutu collector, and a survivor. At three months old, Luci was abandoned at a Chinese orphanage. Her face and body severely burned. There was no explanation, just some cash and a letter.
"It was a note and it said thank you to the kind people and it gave her birthday," Tara Newton, Luci's mom, said.
Tara Newton flew to China and adopted Luci when she was four.
"It was just like, God said, 'There you go. That's why I put you on this earth,'" Tara explained.
Tara is also a burn survivor. A fireworks accident scorched her chest and face.
"Who else can mom a child with that kind of need beside someone who has been there and done that?" Tara said.
Luci needed major reconstructive surgery.
"The most obvious physical problem that she had was that she had no hair," Joseph Williams, MD, Chief of Plastic Surgery at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, said.
Dr. Joseph Williams placed balloon expanders beneath Luci's skin and used the little hair she did have to pull her hairline forward. Each week, he expanded the balloons a little more. After four months, about 60 percent of her scalp was covered with hair. One more round with the expanders could help cover the rest.
"I admire her more than anybody I know," Tara said.
The doctor says a hair transplant on the scalp would not work for Luci because her skin was so badly burned. Luci will likely have her next round of expansion in a year or so. Surgeons will also reconstruct her nose and perform a hair transplant on her eyebrows. Dr. Williams says he believes with the surgeries and make-up, Luci's burn scars will be significantly improved.

Pacific Coast Your Way
The Pacific Coast stretches more than 1,000 miles along the United States' most western edge. It's a diamond-studded string of the best the West Coast has to offer. Sun-drenched beaches. Sunset cruises. Sensuous spas. High-end shopping. It's where you can experience theme parks and wineries in the same day; where valleys lead to the snowy peak of centuries-old volcanoes and iconic national parks. The Pacific Coast is literally surrounded by ocean, mountains and forests.
Select Registry properties dot the Pacific Coast for thousands of miles from Southern California to the picturesque Strait of Juan de Fuca that separates the U.S. from Canada. Nestled among vineyards, orchards and pure wilderness are many of the Pacific Coast's most charming and historic inns, B&Bs and boutique lodging. There are Victorian buildings beneath towering redwoods; modern, luxury mansions in the heart of wine country; rooms with spectacular, panoramic views of the ocean or others steps away from the many attractions of the Pacific Coast's most popular cities; and luxurious cabins with hand-carved log beds.

- Abstract:
- Introduction: While several population-based studies have documented behavioral health disturbances following terrorist attacks, a number of mental health service utilization analyses published thus far have presented conflicting conclusions. Problem: Our purpose was to determine if mental health service utilization increased following a terrorist attack by assessing changes in psychoactive drug prescription rates. Methods: We measured the rate of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) prescriptions among New York State Medicaid enrollees before and after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and assessed the association between geographic proximity to the events and changes in the rate of SSRI prescriptions around September 11, 2001 Results: From September to December 2001, among individuals residing within 3 miles of the WTC site, there was an 18.2% increase in the SSRI prescription rate compared to the previous 8 month period (p=0.0011). While there was a 9.3% increase for non-New York City residents, this change was not statistically significant (p=0.74). Conclusions: We conclude that there was a quantifiable increase in the dispensing of psychoactive drugs following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and that this effect varied in response to geographic proximity to the events. These findings build on the growing body of knowledge on the pervasive effects of disasters and terrorist events for population health and demonstrate the need to include mental and behavioral health as key components of surge capacity and public health response to mass traumas.

On behalf of the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) Science Assessment Item
Collaborative (SAIC) state members, WestEd's science content and assessment specialists
are pleased to present this High School Item Cluster Prototype for assessment of the Next
Generation Science Standards (NGSS). This prototype is designed to follow the principles
and recommendations set forth in the SAIC Assessment Framework and Item Specifications
Guidelines for an NGSS-aligned large-scale summative assessment item cluster. Its developers
are optimistic that, if it is considered in conjunction with key sections of the Assessment
Framework, it will serve as an initial building block for the development of large-scale summative
assessments measuring the NGSS.

What's the Latest Development?
Amazon Studios, which has a roster of movie and series projects in various stages of development, is rumored to be close to giving the go-ahead on its first-ever original content series. The show, "Browsers," is described as "a single-camera affair that is set in the offices of what is said to be a Huffington Post-like news blog. And it's a musical." According to Variety, it was originally developed by David Javerbaum and 3 Arts Entertainment for CBS but didn't make it past the script stage.
What's the Big Idea?
With this project, Amazon Studios joins competitors Netflix and Hulu, which for some time now have been producing original content and, in some cases, selling it to traditional media outlets like the BBC. Unlike those companies, Amazon has an open submissions process, where "the hottest [proposed projects] get a decision within 45 days about whether or not they will pay $10,000 to extend the initial option by 18 months." The company announced its interest in producing original comedy and children's programming in May; completed series will air via Amazon's Instant Video service.

What Final Expense Insurance IsWithout a doubt, funerals are one of the most expensive things one can spend on. To make things worse, it's not as if you can sign the check yourself after your demise which is why it is usually up to your relatives or your next of kin to take care of everything. Of course, this involves all the expenses involved with the funeral arrangements.
A final expense insurance policy assures you that everything will be taken care of once you are gone. As opposed to a standard life insurance plan where the policy can provide you with up to a million Dollars, final expense insurance is specific for funeral cost, which is why they are purchased for up to $50,000 at most.
Qualifications for the Policy
Any individual can purchase final expense insurance but commonly, those who are older and are nearer their demise acquire them. More often than not, these people also do not have a standard insurance policy to their name. The fees for this type of insurance are commonly much more expensive, especially if one were to get a no-exam type of policy.
Top 10 Companies for Final Expense Insurance
- Lincoln Heritage – a well known company that has an outstanding reputation for final expense insurance plans. They are recommended by the Better Business Bureau.
- Foresters – with 130 years experience in the insurance business, Foresters is a company that can give excellent quotes for final expense policies.
- Guardian Insurance – they offer a no medical exam policy and can give you coverage for up to $50,000.
- Securus Final Expense – this company offers a diverse policy when it comes to final expense insurance plans. They are also well-known and have been an industry favourite for a while now.
- American Income Life – offers affordable final expense insurance plans, great for the average American with a steady income.
- AFBA – their package takes care of everything for you when it comes to your final expenses. Check out their Silver Premier Final Expense policy.
- Columbian Financial Group – besides the death benefits, CFG also offers cash value for your policy that you can borrow against.
- NGL Insurance Group – offers a personalized service and as of recent, they boast of an almost 99% claims percentage with all their clients.
- Statefarm – a very well-known company in the insurance industry, Statefarm offers final expense insurance coverage for people 50-80 years old to about $250,000.
- Canada Protection Plan – CPP offers a no medical exam plan for those who do not have time or resources for it but want a final expense insurance policy.

Money-Saving Ideas: Have You Ever Shopped in the Children's Department?
Remember back in 2010, when Stella McCartney launched a kid's collection for the Gap and every grown-up in the world was like: "Pleeeease can you make these clothes in slightly bigger sizes?" I remember.
I have a petite friend who is sort of an expert at shopping in the children's department—she always looks amazing, and if you ask her where she picked up this sweater or that dress, the answer will usually be: "This is part of the DVF for Gap Kids collection" or "I got this at Crew Cuts!" (J.Crew's kid's label).
Have you ever shopped in the children's department for style or to save money? I suppose it only works if you're petite—or fit into the larger children's sizes.
Turns out, though, that shopping in the tykes' section isn't something just women do. Guys do it too! And it seems to be easier for men, since boys' clothes run in larger sizes and the styles aren't all that different from grown-ups'. One Esquire writer confesses:
At 34 years old, I still shop, for myself, in the children's section at department stores. Namely, a significant number of the several dozen Ralph Lauren items I own are labeled XL: as in boys extra-large.
Go ahead. Poke fun. But they cost roughly half the price of adult sizes and are of virtually indistinguishable quality.
The first thing you should know is that I'm not petite. At 5'10'', and with a face full of scruff, I haven't been mistaken for a teenager since I stopped being one 15 years ago. Furthermore, my weight hovers around the 200-pound mark, yet I manage to fit comfortably in Ralph Lauren youth tops, from simple polos to bright rugby shirts.
Are you as jealous as I am?
Tell us: Have you ever shopped in the kids' department for style or to save money? What are some of your best tips and favorite brands to buy from? I'm dying to know!

From Watertown, South Dakota, USA:
I just found out my two year old daughter has diabetes, and I am still struggling with trying to regulate her insulin. Why does my two year old's insulin need to be diluted with saline solution?
When giving very small amounts of insulin, occasionally it has to be diluted to dose accurately.
[Editor's comment: I hope that you are not diluting your daughter's insulin with saline. It is true that you often have to use diluted insulin in children this age because children with diabetes, especially very young children, can be quite sensitive to the effects of even the smallest amount of insulin. However, it should only be diluted with the solution provided by the insulin manufacturer. Diluents and empty vials are free from insulin makers. While Lilly's Humalog does not have an official diluent, many people report success using Lilly's NPH diluent.
See a previous question on this topic. SS]

Perkins eLearning: Resources for Teachers of Students with Visual Impairment
Professional development opportunities are available on a range of topics regarding the education of students who are blind, visually impaired, deafblind, or who have multiple disabilities, including vision loss. Use the resources in this collection produced by Perkins School for the Blind to broaden your knowledge in these topics, and preview our eLearning offerings in the field of visual impairment and deafblindness. Continuing education credits are available for some topics. To learn more, visit perkinselearning.org.
Teaching Braille Reading and Writing – Lucia Hasty
Educator Lucia Hasty provides an overview of early literacy goals and objectives for working with children who are blind or visually impaired, in these videos produced by Perkins School for the Blind. Young children who are blind may not have the exposure to books and reading experiences that their classmates who are sighted have. Their exposure to braille may be even more limited. Hasty explains that overall expectations are the same as they are for all children, and notes specific needs for braille readers. These videos also address some of the common questions families and their support networks have about teaching braille to a child. Concepts like a child's age, motor skills, reading style, education interests, and general education involvement are explored, with reference to research findings regarding these topics. Each video explores a particular area of the literacy curriculum.
Grades: K-12
Issues in Social Skills and Sex Education – Tom Miller
Educator Tom Miller explains the delays in social development that can occur for children with vision impairments, and the impact to their later sexual development, in these videos produced by Perkins School for the Blind.
Grades: K-12
Teaching Tactile Graphics – Lucia Hasty
Educator Lucia Hasty describes best practices for including tactile graphics within textbooks and classroom activities, in these videos produced by Perkins School for the Blind. She explains the differences between visual and tactile learning styles, and notes that tactile learning is not simply re-presenting printed information in a raised format. In making tactile material for use in the classroom, teachers must be mindful of which information is key to the lesson, and to present it for greatest success.
Grades: K-12
Adapting Environments for Individuals with Vision Loss – Darick Wright
Learn how lighting, glare, contrast, and color can either enhance or distort the school, work, or home environment of people with visual impairments, in these videos produced by Perkins School for the Blind. Using camera techniques to emphasize the appearance of environments with and without these elements, each video provides tips for assessing an environment and choosing the best design adaptation to improve visual information.
Grades: K-12
Writing: The Forgotten Focus for Literacy and Communication Instruction – Linda Hagood
Educational specialist Linda Hagood describes best practices for teaching writing, and demonstrates classroom interactions with students who are deafblind, in these videos produced jointly by Perkins School for the Blind and the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
Grades: K-12
Including Students with Albinism – Sue Dalton
Susan Dalton shares her personal and professional experience with students with albinism in these videos co-produced by Perkins School for the Blind and National Organization for Albinism & Hypopigmentation (NOAH).

Grades: K-12
Addressing Issues of Sexuality with Students who are Visually Impaired – Jeff Migliozzi
English teacher Jeff Migliozzi encourages introducing children early to concepts they will need to understand and master in adolescence and adulthood in these videos produced by Perkins School for the Blind. His six-part discussion explains the importance of giving children who are visually impaired the information they cannot observe on their own.
Grades: K-12
Cortical Visual Impairment – Ellen Mazel
Educator Ellen Mazel explains the characteristics of CVI, referencing the work of noted researcher Christine Roman-Lantzy, in these videos produced by Perkins School for the Blind. Cues for identifying the typical characteristics of CVI are explained, as well as strategies for addressing the obstacles to learning that CVI can present. The definitions for the terms latency, novelty, familiarity, complexity, reflex, and visually directed reach are introduced as they pertain to the condition of cortical visual Impairment.

Armstrong duo help New Hampshire upset No. 5 Boston University
DURHAM, N.H. -- Sophomore Hannah Armstrong recorded three points in New Hampshire's 4-2 win against fifth-ranked Boston University on Friday at the Whittemore Center. The win improved the Wildcats to 4-7-0 overall and 2-2-0 in Hockey East play while the Terriers fell to 7-3-1 and 3-2-1 in conference action.
Freshman Alexis Crossley got the Wildcats on the board in the first period with her team-leading fifth goal of the season when she ripped a one timer from just outside the faceoff circle. Megan Armstrong started the play when she dished the puck to Hannah Armstrong behind the net. Hannah Armstrong found Crossley out in front to get the assist.
New Hampshire netminder Jenn Gilligan made 11 saves on each shot she faced in the period to contain the 1-0 lead.
Arielle O'Neill increased the Wildcat lead to 2-0 just 1:08 into the second period when she received a pass and one-timed it past Terrier goalie Alissa Fromkin from point-blank range, scoring her first goal of the season. Kristina Lavoie and Megan Armstrong earned assists on the play. Just 10 seconds later, Jessica Hitchcock scored her third goal of the season and New Hampshire's third of the game after she blasted a shot past Fromkin for the goal. Nicole Gifford received the puck from Hannah Armstrong and passed to Hitchcock on the play.
Boston University cut its deficit to two goals at the 9:20 mark when Kaleigh Fratkin recorded her first goal of the season off a rebound from Jenel Kohanchuk's initial shot and slapped it in. Gilligan saved the initial shot, but was unable to get the rebound. Kayla Tutino also notched an assist on the play. Louise Warren brought the Terriers to within one goal at 13:17 of the second when she received a centering feed from Isabel Menard from behind the net. Shannon Stoneburgh started the play after leading Menard up the ice with a pass. Through two periods of play, the Wildcats still contained the lead 3-2.
Gilligan came up huge in the third period when Fratkin stole the puck and came speeding down the ice on a breakaway. Fratkin attempted a shot on Gilligan's blocker side, but the netminder defended the shot and covered up the rebound to deny a second chance. Hannah Armstrong gave the Wildcats a two-goal cushion with 16 seconds remaining on an empty net goal, her third of the season. Crossley slung the puck off the boards and Armstrong skated onto it to bring it down the ice. After three periods of play, the Wildcats emerged victorious 4-2.
Gilligan received the win in her first game of the season after making 24 saves on the 26 shots she faced. Fromkin received the loss for the Terriers after allowing three goals on 22 shots faced. Her record stands at 1-1-0. New Hampshire was 1-for-3 on the power play while BU was 0-for-4.
