Prof. Dr Hab. Artur Kuś- Chair of the Department
In 1992 I have started my studies at the Faculty of Canon Law and Law at the Catholic University of Lublin (KUL). I graduated in 1997. My Masters Thesis entitled "Regulation of currency turnover during the economic transition in Poland" was written in the Chair of Financial Law under the supervision of Prof. Dr hab. Wanda Wójtowicz.
Since October 1, 1997 I have been working as a teaching assistant in the Chair of Administrative Law and Administrative Science at KUL. My teaching duties were connected with conducting exercises in the field of administrative procedure.
On the 29 of March 2001 I defended my doctoral dissertation prepared under the supervision of Prof. Dr hab. Marian Zdyb, entitled "Customs economic procedures under Polish Law in the light of European Union Law" (Reviewers: Prof. Dr hab. Wanda Wójtowicz - UMCS; and Prof. Dr hab. Wojciech Łączkowski - KUL).The Faculty Council conferred a PhD Degree in Law on April 24, 2001. Following the PhD I have been teaching administrative procedure and Public Commercial Law at the Off-Campus Faculty of Law and Economy in Tomaszów Lubelski. My duties in Lublin consisted of teaching pro-seminar (2002-2005) and seminars (2002-2006) in the field of administrative law for law and administration students (both in the Bachelor and Master's Program). In 2001 I have been a Co-Founder of the KUL University Legal Clinic and after that I was coordinating the administrative section of it, teaching students practical aspects of law. During these years I have taken part in many national and international conferences. In July 2002 I have received a scholarship funded by the Friends of KUL Association to conduct research in London (UK).
On December 5, 2006 my habilitation colloquium was organized. As a result I was granted the degree of dr. Habilitatus based on my scientific achievements and the monograph: "Public law driven non-tariff and para-tariff instruments of restricting international trade of goods"(published by: Oficyna Wydawnicza Branta, Bydgoszcz-Szczecin-Lublin 2006). The reviewers in the habilitation process were: Prof. dr hab. Andrzej Drwiłło (UG), Prof. dr hab. Andrzej Wróbel (PAN), Prof. dr hab. Anna Walaszek-Pyzioł (UJ), and Prof. dr hab. Jan Olszewski (URz).
After successful habilitation I became Director of the Chair of European Union Law on February 15, 2007. At present I lecture on European Union Law - Institutions, customs law, law of international trade plus I teach seminar classes on European Union and inernational trade law (both for law and administration students).
I have been a supervisor of over 80 master's thesis written by law students; over 40 master's thesis prepared by administration students and over 30 Bachelor degree seminar papers prepared by administration students in the KUL Faculty of Law, Canon Law and Administration. On the top of that I have supervised approximately 30 bachelor administration students earning their degree at the College of Management and Administration in Zamość. I have reviewed 11 doctoral dissertations at KUL and UMCS. Last year I launched a PhD seminar in the field of European Union and International Trade Law. I have written over 50 scholarly publications (monographs, student books, book reviews, opinions, articles and commentaries).
My teaching experience consists of giving lectures for bachelor, master and graduate students in other academic institutions (including the Polish Academy of Science program for administrative courts judges and lectures for the Customs Officers). Since January 1, 2007 I hold the position of the Extraordinary Professor in the College of Management and Administration (WSZiA) in Zamość.
In the years 2006-2007 I was appointed by the Minster of Finance to be a Member of the Customs and Excise Duty Board of the III term, where I Chaired a Legal Committee.
Since April 30, 1999 I have been working at the Constitutional Tribunal: first as an Assistant of the Honorable Marian Zdyb, then (September 30, 2002- December 31, 2007) as an independent case law specialist in the Office of the Constitutional Tribunal, finally (since January 1, 2008) as a principal case law specialist, where I cooperate with the Honorable Teresa Liszcz. As part of my duties I have drafted over 100 legal opinions, proposed judgments with reasons, court orders and other legal documents. These opinions have covered almost all the fields of law (public and private).
Since December 2005 I have been Rector's Plenipotentiary for the relations with the Polish Customs Office. I have also coordinated works leading to signing an agreement between KUL and the Ministry of Finance, which was concluded on October 26, 2005.
My latest assignment was connected with launching by KUL of the new Bachelor Program in European Studies. I have been appointed by the Faculty council and University Senate to coordinate these works that will hopefully lead to opening the new field of studies in October of 2008.

Bex sends me this photo of Steve over the phone, and I'm thinking... what's wrong with it?
It looks a bit weird...
As I said last night, I got my Mum's birthday present finished, and I'm so happy with it.
Brylee is modelling it for me:
ABOVE: My mum loves aprons, wears them at home all the time. So I decided to make her one that was reversible.
ABOVE: I love both sides!
Cows. Mum is the eldest of 10 kids who grew up on a dairy farm, and the girls used to get called 'Brown's Cows'.... their surname was Brown.
So I went with that 'theme' for the apron.
What do you think of it? Nice... or no?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ARCHER. He is 2 today. All the best darling, see you on Sunday.
Now. Today. Pick up my prescriptions! I totally forgot yesterday. Whoops, that meant no pills last night. I'm sure one day won't matter.
I also need to post a present off to Australia for Russell's little girl Sienna. She is turning 6 on the 7th of May. The present no doubt won't get there in time.. but I didn't have an address to send it to till very recently.
Man there's so many birthdays to remember and 'get' for. Serve me right for breeding so prolifically!
Time to go.... catch ya later.
11 am: I've had a successful morning in town. Got all my things done, picked up my prescription and just got home.
I was going to ask for the 'results' of my blood test while at the Doctors, but they were so busy with clients I decided not to bother.
As someone said, if there was a problem they would call me in surely.
Now... I am going to take a chill pill and just relax for a little while.
Then I have to re-attach some of the photos on the photo boards. They ain't stuck down enough and keep coming off. Annoying.
Remember those lovely water beads on my dining table? Yeah. Just tipped them in the rubbish. They were growing mould... GROSS!
Pretty or not... out they went.
Question: If ya go pee, then right away ya feel like ya need to go again... ALL. THE. TIME. Do ya have a problem? Doing my head in, just a little bit.
Am about to have lunch... Weight Watchers Chicken and Mushroom Fettuccine... hope it's nice.
ABOVE: Doesn't look like much... didn't taste like much either. Not a huge let down, but close.
And I'm still hungry.
ABOVE: The neighbour's little dog. Isn't friendly, never wags it's tail at me. Looks at me with disdain I reckon.
Howls and barks and yaps all morning when they are out at school/work.
I don't like this dog at all. The feeling is mutual by the look of it!
11.45 pm: end of the day. It's been a good day, I got heaps of washing done, but not much else really. OH... I did get the photos stuck down better on the boards too. Hopefully they stay stuck now.
Off to bed shortly.

Save the date!
Join Diverse Harmony for our next concert on June 30, 2018, 7:30 pm at Seattle First Baptist Church.
The Choir
The Diverse Harmony Ensemble
We are proud to add a young adult small ensemble to the family. Below meet our initial 13 member group, having made a yearlong commitment to perform and promote Diverse Harmony. We asked each member to tell us their name, what pronoun they prefer, what brought them to DH, a favorite animal, Disney character, type of music and what they like about DH.
About Us
Our Mission
Diverse Harmony is the nation's first queer-straight* alliance youth chorus. Based in Seattle, Washington, our 58-member chorus presents music that opens the hearts and minds of communities and provides a safe environment for youth of diverse backgrounds to share their love of music and be accepted for who they are.
- Our vision is a world in which differences are celebrated.
- Our mission is to create a safe, affirming environment where each person is accepted for who they are.
- Our common bond is the love of music and performance arts.
- We use our passion and the power of music to inspire all to celebrate the differences in our homes, communities and the world.
*Diverse Harmony was formed in 2002 as the nation's first gay-straight alliance youth chorus. Since that time, we have realized that the term gay does not encompass our entire chorus family. In 2014, we are fully supporting our community by identifying as a queer-straight alliance youth chorus. Queer is an umbrella term that supports gays, lesbians, bisexuals, trans-individuals, asexuals, queers, questioning individuals, allies and other individuals that may not identify with those titles. We believe that everyone should be loved for who they are and represented with the appropriate language and queer is the appropriate term for our Diverse Harmony family. For more information on the term queer, please visit PFLAG by clicking here.
Our Story
Diverse Harmony was founded in Seattle in 2002 as the nation's first queer-straight alliance youth chorus. Over our thirteen seasons we have grown to nearly 60 members, and have brought performances to communities throughout Seattle in our regular two-concert season. The chorus has also performed tours to Denver, Chicago, Montreal, Miami, and Portland. Diverse Harmony is a member of GALA Choruses (the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses) and is considered a leading youth chorus among its membership due to our longevity and large membership.
In tandem with our successful performances, Diverse Harmony serves as a safe space for our singers, youth age 13 to 22 who identify as queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, and allied. Weekly rehearsals have become a home base for many of our youth where they can feel respected and accepted, and have fun making music together.
No tuition or membership fee is required of singers, and we accept all levels of musical ability.
Our Staff
Eric Lane Barnes, Artistic Director
In February of 2018, Eric Lane Barnes took over the responsibilities of Artistic Director for both the Diverse Harmony chorus as well as Spectrum, the young adult ensemble. Barnes has over 30 years of experience as a musical director. For over 17 years he was the Associate Artistic Director with the Seattle Men's Chorus and the Seattle Women's Chorus as well as the director of the ensembles Captain Smartypants and Sensible Shoes. In addition to musical direction, Eric Lane Barnes is a composer and lyricist who has over 300 original compositions in his songbook. He has written six full length shows which have incorporated his compositions.
Board of Directors
Bob Sittig, President
Bob Sittig is the retired administrator of Seattle First Baptist Church. As a result of his association with the church, he has watched Diverse Harmony grow since its inception as the chorus has rehearsed at that facility throughout its existence. A retired Mechanical Engineer he spent his career in industrial process machinery design and corporate management. As a father of three and a grandfather of seven, Bob has an appreciation for the struggles young folks face in today's fast pace environment and he feels that Diverse Harmony plays an essential part in providing a safe and encouraging place for those who can't find it elsewhere.
Steve Walker, Vice President
Steve Walker is the Vice President of Diverse Harmony. He was formerly the Executive Director of the National Gay Pilots Association and a retired airline pilot. He also serves on a commission at Seattle First Baptist Church. He is excited to serve our queer youth at Diverse Harmony and help them gain their own identities through the love and sharing of music. As a music 'geek' throughout school, music was his primary escape while dealing with his own sexual identity.
Saundra Whittemore, Secretary
Saundra has worked with youth and families since 1989 and currently works with kids and families in home and community settings through Wonderland Developmental Center. She lived aboard a boat when first moving to Seattle and loves the beautiful Pacific Northwest more than any of the places she has lived worldwide. Saundra's passion for supporting DH and QSA youth shines through in her interactions with the youth and as she serves on the board of Diverse Harmony.
Aaron Revoir, Board Member
Aaron joined the board of Diverse Harmony in 2014 and is proud to be part of such an important organization. A native of Southern California, Aaron moved to Seattle in July of 2011 for a change of scenery and hasn't looked back. By day, Aaron is a Project Manager for Amazon. In his spare time Aaron enjoys singing with the Seattle Men's Chorus as an Upper 1st Tenor, traveling and spending time with friends and family.
Metta Williams, Board Member
Metta joined the board because she is a big believer in Diverse Harmony's mission of building a community. She says youth deserve our efforts to provide a safe, welcoming place for them to explore what community can mean for each of them. She has experience as the Treasurer for Seattle First Baptist Church which helps her fill this role for Diverse Harmony. Her career life is as an insurance agent for Aflac, and what's left of her time she spends in the yard with her dog Pejsku.

When al-Shadhili, approached Medina, may God ennoble and exalt it increasingly, he stood before the door of the sacred precinct (the tomb of the Prophet) from early morning until noon, bareheaded, and barefooted requesting permission of the Apostle of God to enter.
Asked why he did so, he replied, "That he might give me permission, for God says, 'O you who believe, enter not the Prophet's houses until permission be grated to you.' (Q 33.53).
Then, he heard the voice of one calling from within the Noble Garden, like that of the one dwelling there, saying, "Blessings and peace in abundance, O 'Ali! Enter!"
So he stood before the Noble Garden and said, "Peace be upon thee, O Prophet, with the mercy and benediction of God! The blessing of God be upon thee, O Apostle of God!"
The most excellent, the purest, the most sublime, and loftiest prayer that he offered on behalf of His prophets and chosen ones is this:
"I bear witness that thou, O Apostle of God, hast conveyed that with which thou wast sent, and hast admonished thy people, and served thy Lord until the certainty (yaqin) came to thee, and that thou wast as God described thee in Scripture: "An Apostle from among yourselves has come to you, for whom your adversity is hard to bear, who watches over you, and who is compassionate and merciful towards the believers." (Q 9:128)
May the prayers of God, His angels, His prophets, His apostles, and all His creatures and the inhabitants of His heavens and His earth be upon thee, O our master, O Apostle of God. (...)
I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Apostle, the seal of the prophets, and the leader (imam) of the apostles.
I testify that every command, prohibition and information regarding the past and future that he brought is true, containing no uncertainty or doubt. I acknowledge to Thee my crime and and disobedience in thought, reflection, will and negligence.
Whatever Thou hast preferred for me, whether something for which Thou dost punish, if Thou wilt, or something for which Thou dost pardon, if Thou wilt, or anything that is comprised in unbelief, hypocrisy, heresy and error, or transgression or misconduct toward Thee, Thine Apostle, Thy prophets, or the angels, men and jinn who are near Thee, or whatever things of Thy dominion that Thou hast especially allotted, in all of which I have wronged myself, bestow upon me what Thou didst bestow upon those near to Thee, for Thou art God, the King, the Generous Bestower, the Compassionate Forgiver."
- selection from The Mystical Teachings of al-Shadhili by Ibn Al-Sabbagh
remembering beloved Prophet Muhammad, on his blessed birthday, 12th Rabiul Awwal of Hijri calendar / 19th or 20th March (depending on location and moon) this year. May profound Divine peace and blessings be upon the Prophet of Light, and may through his love - the light of our heart and soul be unveiled.

Endorsements and Book Reviews of The Ishbane Conspiracy
Endorsements of The Ishbane Conspiracy
I thoroughly enjoyed The Ishbane Conspiracy. The authors did a great job, and the story gives so much food for thought. I wish this book was required reading for student and parents across our nation. — Francine Rivers, best-selling author of Redeeming Love
When I was teenager God used the piercing words of Randy Alcorn to open my eyes to spiritual realities and yank me out of the clutches of darkness. This gripping novel can do the same for you. Do yourself a favor and read a book hell would love to censor. The Ishbane Conspiracy is going to change the way you view your life. — Joshua Harris, author of I Kissed Dating Goodbye and Boy Meets Girl
The Alcorns portray these characters with fresh insights and such clarity they seem like people I've met. What gives the Ishbane Conspiracy its intense intrigue is the way these writers manage to lift the veil and let us see what goes on behind the scenes in the spiritual realm. The conflict doubles, and so does the ultimate victory. A job well done by this talented father/daughter trio! — Robin Jones Gunn, best-selling author of the Christy Miller Series and the Glenbrooke Series
I loved The Ishbane Conspiracy, and I'd love to see it in the hands of every high school and college student in America! — Jim Bell, author of The Nephilim Seed
I just finished a book that I will now recommend to every teenager and their parent that I meet. If you fall into either of those categories I implore you to go directly to Amazon.com or CBD.com or your local bookstore and purchase, The Ishbane Conspiracy by Randy Alcorn and his daughters. Although it is a work of fiction, it is the most important parenting book I have ever read, specifically for teenagers. It is hard to describe, just please trust me on this. — From actress Lisa Whelchel's website, lisawhelchel.com

Earlier this summer, a spy photo from Germany revealed two BMW F80 M3 cars on a transport carrier. The two cars were far from your regular M3 and featured the light-allow 666M wheels – very same wheels introduced by the BMW M4 GTS sans the Acid Orange accents. The assumption was that BMW is likely working on another special edition M3/M4 and/or a new Competition Package.
Now new photos from New Jersey give us a closer look at another M3 with the very same 20 inch 666M wheels, black exhaust tips, black side gills, black M3 badge, black kidney grilles and carbon ceramic brakes.
Inside the car, the F80 M3 Facelift is rumored to arrive with new interior trims and an updated iDrive system.
BMW has yet to confirm that an F80 M3 Competition Package is in works, but our sources say the Competiton Package – ZCP – might arrive in Summer 2016. At this point, everything is pure speculation, but we wouldn't be surprised to see a special M3 arriving next year to coincide with BMW's 100th anniversary.

(1/20 - 2/18)
-As Mercury fondles the balls of Pluto, it becomes obvious that secrets may surface. Burn all records of the money you embezzled, tell your boyfriend your wife is suspicious, and let the kids know who their real dad is, because very soon it will all come crashing down. You have had an exciting few years of midget orgies and rectal piercings, but reality has caught up with you, and it's time to make a change.

All through history truth has been hidden from the masses. It has been diluted, turned into allegories, and hid in private sects. The truth is, it wasn't necessary. Most people aren't interested in truth. It is a lie they tell themselves to feel empowered. When they are presented with truth, they don't recognize it or don't want to exert any effort in gaining it.
Unless there is a booming male personality prompting people, or coaxing them to truth, truth is overlooked. Another way to get people to be interested in the truth is to sell it to them. Charge them a ton of money and shamelessly stroke their ego into believing they are special. If one does this, people may sit and try to partake of truth.
The fact is that most people are invested in being comfortable, feeling special, playing out drama, feeling like a victim or helplessly watching current affairs like a bad episode of Reality TV. I share truths every day that are revealed by a diligent connection with a concentrated source. But here is what people do:
They don't read it
They dismiss it as an opinion
They divert others on the page to an established quote that is a mental cue
They ignore it entirely
They argue with me
They diminish it by putting their opinions on it; which are only mental debris
They pretend they didn't see it, and it doesn't exist
Or they covet it like a dirty little secret that no one would forgive them for indulging in
There is a reason that truth embodies a female right now. Those who are still conditioned to believe that male energy is superior can not even fathom truth being emitted from a female. But this is the balance for the world. Female energy must enhance the present truth for all to have access to truth. All need access to truth, so this world can balance again and thrive. Everything that we have understood about truth this far in human history has come from the slant of male energy, so it is a half truth. A half truth is not a whole truth. It is a form of a lie. The world will balance when it stops subscribing to lies. It will do this as female energy is reintroduced to the world as viable, and important.
Many ways that were taught to access truth are obsolete now. So many people on a spiritual journey feel bad about their lack of accomplishments. For example, they feel bad that they aren't able to get out of the body, which becomes just another subtle form of feeling unworthy or self-shame. The truth is that truth can be accessed while still in the body. It is not about getting out of the body. That is how male energy does it, and so only those who operate totally in male energy can do it.
The way to transcend the need to leave the body is to be centered in the body and expand your energy so that you realize that you are out of the body while you are still in it. When you expand your awareness, you realize that you are more than your body; you are your body AND the whole Universe and beyond too. Then all you have to do is shift your attention to gain the awareness that you seek. It becomes a matter of whether you put your attention on the heart or the hand. Everything in the Universe is a part of your beingness, and you have total access. Now you know how to empower yourself.
That is a profound truth and a key for many to gain spiritual awareness; perhaps even enlightenment. But those who read it will most likely overlook it. They want to think the one feeding them truth is a huge booming personality that is larger than life. That is the ego wanting to be special and only identifying with someone who they deem dynamic.
Truth hides in plain sight. It is on my page. I work diligently beyond time and space and in the other worlds to assist in enlightening earth people so that humanity can thrive as a species. But I am not cute enough, I am not dynamic enough, I do not stroke enough of the ego, I do not name-drop important people enough to be considered a source of truth. I do not live a dynamic lifestyle. The people who want that are just looking for ego gratification in their own superiority.
So many people say they want to know truth, but they lie to themselves. It is okay. But just know that there are people genuine and sincere enough to tap into a dynamic source. It is not flashy, and it is polished and processed for the average consumer. It is understated and organic. And yes, sometimes it feels bad as the layers are stripped off. Perhaps layers are stripped off just in reading my posts, so people avoid them. But that discomfort is temporary and so worth pushing through for freedom.
You are welcome to join our group live calls and learn how to access truth for yourself. But you don't believe that or else you would make it a priority. You may already know about them and say that they aren't worth the money to attend, you are shy or have never done anything like that before. Do your friends think you are crazy or are you not ready? That is fine. But just realize that you are sabotaging yourself in not pushing through the resistance. You are no longer a victim of life or circumstance in not attending or doing the taps I freely and generously share. You are now a victim of yourself. https://store.jenuinehealing.com/

SHU Students Continue Tradition of Helping Others During Annual CURTIS Week
With the Spring Semester on the horizon, about twenty students took part in what has now become a time-honored tradition at Sacred Heart University – CURTIS Week which stands for Community Understanding and Reflection Through Inner-city Service.
Named in honor of the Most Reverend Walter W. Curtis, the second Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport and founder of the University, CURTIS Week is a week-long immersion program where several students from all classes reside off-campus at a church in the Park City and learn through community service and reflection, the daily social and economic challenges inner city residents face.
"CURTIS Week differs from the various service opportunities that come through the office because it is one of the two immersion programs in Bridgeport," said Dawn Doucette-Kaplan, Sacred Heart University's coordinator of Volunteer Programs. The other immersion week, Community Connections, takes place prior to the Fall Semester. "Students not only get to know the different service projects they could participate in through the office, but they are also learning about different cultures and religions within the Bridgeport community, breaking stereotypes and barriers."
Community Service and service-learning has become the hallmark of the Sacred Heart University experience which emphasizes to students the importance of changing the world inside and outside the classroom.
"I think the week gives us an opportunity to learn about other people and ourselves," said Alyssa Darmstadt who participated in CURTIS Week and a freshman from Long Beach, NY. "At the end of the day, I think what we've learned through CURTIS Week is that we're all the same."
Through projects such as partnering with Habitat for Humanity and building homes alongside with those who will dwell in the respective homes to preparing meals in soup kitchens and other community projects, students who take part in the immersion week are given the rare opportunity to see and feel social needs individuals face in urban areas. CURTIS Week also serves as a collaborative focus on how to create change and learn about prejudices and ways to combat them.
Additionally, students take part in religious services at a mosque, synagogue, a Catholic Church and a Black Pride Program at a Baptist church. At the end of the each day, participants engage in ice-breakers, discussions and journal writing to chronicle the events of the day and serve as moments of reflection and introspection to share what they've learned.
"I couldn't think of a better way to begin the Spring Semester by taking part in service and by directly helping people," added Samantha Fasanello, a sophomore from Middlesex, NJ. "I really think it's important to give back to the community and I think that's what we're called to do."
This year's CURTIS Week was sponsored by Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

AMC 'Small Town Security' Season 3
Published By: Tariq ZidanMay 8, 2014
'Small Town Security' season 3 premiered Sunday May 6, 2014 – on AMC. AMC has countless hit television series. Small Town Security is one of the best you haven't heard of. The show originally aired on Sunday after 'Breaking Bad'. Small Town Security is what you would expect a reality show to be like.
It encompasses the reality aspects. It is dry and hysterical. The show focuses on a Ringgold, GA based security company – JJK Security. JJK is owned and operated by Joan Koplan and her husband Irwin. Joan Koplan starred in the 1969 'Tarzán en la gruta del oro'. The security business has been financially rewarding for Koplan and her family.
Reasons to Watch 'Small Town Security' Season 3
Joan has her eyes set on Hollywood stardom, as well as Brian – a JJK employee. Koplan is a tell it like it is person. Small Town Security Season 3 will likely continue to push the bar, and keep viewers laughing.
Prior to 'Small Town Security' season 3, Koplan made a joke about "Speecy Spicey Meatballs". There is no punchline, yet it aggravated so many people. So Koplan produced a single titled "Speecy Spicey Meatball". The song's production is featured on the season 3 premiere.
Below is the video for Joan Koplan's single – "Speecy Spicey Meatball".
If you haven't watched Small Town Security, you need to. Past episodes can be watched on AMC. If you watch 'Small Town Security' season 3, and have never seen it before, you will still laugh hysterically.

Epigenetic control of cell fate acquisition in developing skeletal muscle (MÜNSTERBERG_U16WDTP) Epigenetic control of cell fate acquisition in developing skeletal muscle (MÜNSTERBERG_U16WDTP)
Primary Supervisor: Professor Andrea Münsterberg (https://www.uea.ac.uk/biological-sciences/people/profile/a-munsterberg, email@example.com)
Project Description:
Differentiated cells have varied and specialist functions in the body. We study the development of skeletal muscle cells, which differentiate into multinucleated contractile fibres that facilitate voluntary movements and maintain posture. In vertebrate embryos, all skeletal muscles in the trunk and limbs are derived from somites. In general, the differentiation of a cell from a progenitor into a mature, fully differentiated cell type is a gradual process during an organism's development, when the potency of progenitors becomes progressively restricted towards a particular cell type. This is mediated by epigenetic changes to the genome to control gene activity. Interestingly, most of this cellular programming is dynamic and reversible – given the right signals – and this is being exploited in stem cell science, which holds lots of promise for future cell based therapies. In this project, the student will investigate the role of chromatin-remodeling complexes called BAF/Brg1. There are different variants of these BAF/Brg1 complexes containing either BAF60a, BAF60b or BAF60c. The student will determine the genomic loci that are bound by these complexes during the early phases of skeletal muscle development. We use chick embryos as a model system, these are accessible for microinjections to perform functional experiments in vivo. Furthermore, embryonic tissues can be dissected for detailed molecular analyses and genomics approaches. This multi-disciplinary project is supported by pilot data and benefits from expert collaborators.
This project has been shortlisted for funding by the Norwich Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership (NRPDTP).Applicants shortlisted for the Second Round of Selection (deadline for applications 26th February 2016) will be interviewed as part of the studentship competition on either the 16th or 17th March 2016.
The Norwich Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership (NRPDTP) offers postgraduates the opportunity to undertake a 4 year research project whilst enhancing professional development and research skills through a comprehensive training programme. You will join a vibrant community of world-leading researchers. All NRPDTP students undertake a three month professional internship (PIPS) during their study. The internship offers exciting and invaluable work experience designed to enhance professional development. Full support and advice will be provided by our Professional Internship team. Students with, or expecting to attain, at least an upper second class honours degree, or equivalent, are invited to apply.
Start date: October 2016
Programme: PhD
Mode of Study: Full Time
Entry Requirements: Acceptable First Degree: Minimum Entry Standard: 2:1

My thoughts on the fight with Emerson.
I am going to start off by saying that I felt 100% healthy before the fight, I had no injuries and I have no excuses on losing the fight. Before the fight I felt very relaxed and had a great warm up. I entered the cage confident and excited.
The fight as I can remember it:
When the 1st round started I remember throwing a few punches and missing a kick. Then slipping and he encroached on top and I went to guard. He laid on me and attempted to land a few shots. I got up and caged walked. I attempted a really tight guillotine choke but he was so slippery and sweaty. I did manage to sweep him using the choke. He caged walked up and we restarted in the clinch.
In the second round I remember getting caught with a few blows and winding up in my guard then I think he passed my guard to side control and I regained my guard again. During that time he landed a few strikes. One of which I think my nose started to bleed.
In the third round I remember trying to again go for a guillotine and he getting out of it. I clinched him up and kneed him a few times. He scored a double leg take down on me and I tried to get up. He felt pretty strong in the clinch. All three judges scored the bout 29, 28 Emerson.
It was a very very close fight. Some websites scored it it my favor like Sherdog, Well beyond that I of coarse shouldn't have left it to the judges. Emerson was a conservative grind fighter. I was always looking for the finish. He fought his fight and I fought mine. My hat goes off to him.
I am really not unhappy with my performance. I know I will repeat to myself I should have done this or I could have done that but that doesn't matter anymore. Its time now to review my mistakes and continue training. I don't know what my future holds but I know whatever happens after today I will be happy and make the best of it!
I would like to give a special thanks to many people in preparation for this fight. First and foremost my coach Clarence "Cee" Everette who helped me more than anyone has ever done in my professional fight career. I would like to thank Nardu Debrah for helping me with some great combination which I executed during the bout. And a very special thanks to my newest coach Dave Esposito who brought my wrestling level to new heights.
I would like to thank Jamal Paterson and his students out in Teterboro. Jason Strout and Chris Romulos at Church St Boxing. My conditioning coach Brian Donnelly for preparing my body to be in superb shape. Also thank you Kieth Trimble and Kenny Willies and all the guys at Bellmore Kickboxing. Also a special thanks to Soca BJJ and the UDS /Insight Team.
Thank you PR Cole for helping with my nutrition and weight cutting issue. Thanks Dr Bernard Yonk, Dr. Tom Ferraro and Dr. Pietro Baio for all your help!
Thank you to all the friends to came down to see the fight in Vegas. Thanks to all the fans back at home and around the globe (Philippines and Saipan) Thank you to my family and friends who are supportive of my dream! Also thanks for the support from my students and friends Brooklyn Mixed Martial Arts Academy.

This Girl Is Definitely Not Twerking But No One Can Say She Can't Dance
She's amazing.
A great new video by Polish dance school and ensemble Studio Tańca So Fly shows one of their instructors, Kasia "PopKate" Zapolska, popping and locking to a remix version of Major Lazer's "Watch Out For This (Bumaye)."
We first heard of the video thanks to a post by Redditor becetbreak who pointed out that twerking is not the only dance girls can do.

(NEW YORK, NY – February 5, 2007) – Autism Speaks and Cure Autism Now (CAN) have completed their merger, uniting the nation's two leading autism advocacy organizations and their cutting-edge programs for research, treatment, and family services. Mark Roithmayr, president of Autism Speaks, announced today that the Boards of Directors of Autism Speaks and Cure Autism Now respectively had approved the transaction. The groups first reported their intention to merge in November 2006. The combined entity will be known as Autism Speaks.
The consolidation of the two organizations is based on their mutual commitment to accelerate and fund biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments and cure for autism spectrum disorders; to increase awareness of the nation's fastest-growing developmental disorder; and to advocate for the needs of affected individuals and families. Autism spectrum disorders are diagnosed in one in 166 children, with four times as many boys as girls affected. The diagnosis of autism has increased tenfold in the last decade, leading the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to call autism a national public health crisis.
"The completion of this merger marks the tipping point in the autism community, bringing together the best science, collaborative minds and impassioned advocates," said Bob Wright, chairman of the board of Autism Speaks. "A unified autism community is better prepared to ensure that the general public is aware of and responsive to this national healthcare emergency."
"Cure Autism Now created a network of parents, bonded by hope, that partnered with scientists and accelerated research into the causes of and biomedical treatments for autism," said Sallie Bernard, CAN's board chair. "Autism Speaks has demonstrated a commitment to making autism a public concern and to expanding funding for innovative programs."
Cure Autism Now board members Sallie Bernard, Jonathan Shestack, Craig Snyder and John Wilson will join the Autism Speaks board of directors. CAN co-founder Shestack will also join the executive committee of the board. Bob Wright will continue to serve as chairman of the board of Autism Speaks and Suzanne Wright will continue to serve as vice chair. Mark Roithmayr will remain as president of Autism Speaks. CAN president and CEO Peter Bell will become an executive vice president of Autism Speaks and has been named staff liaison to the board of directors.
The combined organization will maintain both Cure Autism Now's and Autism Speaks' national walk programs and professional staffs. The scientific research processes, advisory boards and protocols of each entity have been integrated and flagship CAN programs, including the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE), Autism Treatment Network (ATN), Clinical Trials Network (CTN) and Innovative Technology for Autism (ITA), will be expanded.
Autism Speaks' chief scientific advisor, Dr. Gary Goldstein, president of the Kennedy Krieger Institute at Johns Hopkins, will serve as chair of Autism Speaks' Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). The following individuals will serve on the Scientific Advisory Committee;
- Ted Abel, Ph.D.; University of Pennsylvania
- David Baskin, M.D.; Methodist Neurological Institute
- Joseph Coyle, M.D.; Harvard Medical School
- Emanuel DiCicco-Bloom , M.D.; University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
- Daniel Geschwind, M.D., Ph.D.; David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
- CT Gordon, M.D.; University of Maryland Medical School
- Susan Hyman, M.D.; University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry
- Portia Iversen; CAN co-founder
- Jay Kolls, M.D.; Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh
- Eric London , M.D.; University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
- Ricki Robinson, M.D., M.P.H.; Keck School of Medicine at University of Southern California
- Marshalyn Yeargin-Allsopp, M.D.; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
In February of 2006, Autism Speaks merged with the National Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR). "Our commitment to funding evidence-based science will always be our top priority" said Eric London, founder of NAAR and board and executive committee member of Autism Speaks. "Working with CAN, we will continue to raise as much money as possible to fund the most promising research worldwide."
Autism Speaks is dedicated to increasing awareness of the growing autism epidemic and to raising money to fund scientists who are searching for a cure. The organization was founded in February 2005 by Suzanne and Bob Wright. Bob Wright is Vice Chairman and Executive Officer, General Electric, and Chairman and CEO, NBC Universal. Autism Speaks and the National Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR) combined operations in February 2006, bringing together two of the leading organizations dedicated to accelerating and funding biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments and cure for autism spectrum disorders; to increasing awareness of the nation's fastest growing developmental disorder; and to advocating for the needs of affected families. To learn more about Autism Speaks, please visit www.autismspeaks.org.
Cure Autism Now is an organization of parents, clinicians and leading scientists accelerating research to prevent, treat and cure autism – for individuals and families today, and for future generations. Cure Autism Now is a leading private funder of biomedical research in autism, providing more than $39 million for research grants, education, outreach and scientific resources. Cure Autism Now has chapters across the country with national headquarters in Los Angeles. More information about Cure Autism Now can be found at www.cureautismnow.org.

The Browns pick first and fourth on April 26 in the first round of the 2018 draft, so I thought it would be worthwhile to see what the fourth pick has produced over the years.
The conclusion is the Browns better not miss. There have been some misses, but they are far outweighed by the hits. Others played well enough to not be considered busts, but didn't live up to expectations.
Wide receiver/punter Gary Collins, arguably the most under-appreciated player in Browns history, was picked fourth in 1962.
Hall of Fame running back Gayle Sayers (Bears, 1965), defensive tackle Mean Joe Greene (Steelers, 1969), guard John Hannah (Patriots, 1973) quarterback Bob Griese (Dolphins, 1975), safety Kenny Easley (Seahawks, 1981), linebacker Derrick Thomas (Chiefs, 1989) and (tackle Jonathan Ogden (Ravens, 1996) were all picked fourth overall.
Cornerback Charles Woodson (Raiders, 1998) will likely be on that list, but he retired in 2015 and won't be eligible for the Hall of Fame until 2021.
Running back Edgerrin James, picked fourth in 1999, the year the Browns were an expansion team, played 11 seasons and rushed for 12,246 yards with the Colts, Cardinals and Seahawks He scored 91 touchdowns and is a 2018 Hall of Fame finalist..
Here is a brief look at the other players picked fourth since the Browns were an expansion team starting with the 2000 draft:
2000 >>Wide receiver Peter Warrick, Bengals
Warrick's career lasted six seasons, but in reality ended in 2003. He caught 253 passes his first four years and then 11 in 2004 with Bengals. He caught 11 more with Seattle. He's on the "busted pick" list.
2001 >> Defensive end Justin Smith – Bengals
Smith played 14 seasons – seven with the Bengals and seven with the 49ers. He missed only three games his entire career and started 217 of 221 games. He has 87 career sacks, getting exactly 43.5 sacks with each team.
>> Good planning has set Browns up for free agency
2002 >> Tackle Mike Williams – Bills
Williams played four seasons with the Bills, starting 56 of 59 games. He was out of football three years and then played eight games for the Redskins in 2009. He is another bust.
2003 >> Defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson – Jets
Robertson started 90 of 92 games over six years with the Jets and Broncos.
2004 >> Quarterback Philip Rivers – Giants
The Giants drafted Rivers with the fourth pick and traded him to the Chargers. He will be in his 15th season in 2018. The seven-time Pro Bowl player has passed for 50,348 yards.
2005 >> Running back Cedric Benson – Bears
Benson played eight seasons with the Bears, Bengals and Packers. He had three straight 1,000-yard seasons with Cincinnati and finished with 6,017 rushing yards.
2006 >> Tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson – Jets
Ferguson started every game in a 10-year career with the Jets. He made the Pro Bowl three times.
2007 >> Defensive end Gaines Adams – Buccaneers
Adams played two seasons with the Bucs before being traded to the Bears in October 2009. Tragically, he died of a heart attack at age 26 due to an enlarged heart. He had 67 tackles and 13.5 sacks in a 47-game career.
>> Joe Thomas is undecided about playing in 2018 or retiring
2008 >> Running back Darren McFadden – Raiders
McFadden played seven years with the Raiders and three with the Cowboys, although in 2017 he carried the ball once and lost two yards. He rushed for 5,421 yards on 1,302 carries and caught 254 career passes for 2,114 yards. He has 33 career touchdowns.
2009 >> Linebacker Aaron Curry – Seahawks
Curry was out of football after playing in 48 games with Seattle and Oakland. He was a bust as a player. He turned to coaching and is now a defensive line coach at UNC Charlotte, where he coached Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi.
2010 >> Tackle Trent Williams – Redskins
Williams just completed his eighth season as the Redskins left tackle. He made the Pro Bowl each year since 2012.
2011 >> Wide receiver A.J. Green – Bengals
Green is the favorite target of Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton. He has 556 career catches and has made the Pro Bowl seven straight years.
2012 >> Tackle Matt Kalil – Vikings
Kalil started 66 straight games with the Vikings. A hip injury early in 2016 landed him on injured reserve. He signed a five-year, $55 million contract with Carolina as a free agent last winter.
2013 >> Tackle Lane Johnson – Eagles
Johnson is the Eagles' starting right tackle. He was suspended four games in 2014 and 10 in 2016 for using banned substances. He was voted to the 2018 Pro Bowl but will be playing in the Super Bowl instead.
2014 >> Wide receiver Sammy Watkins – Bills
The Bills drafted Watkins with a pick acquired in a trade with the Browns. He was traded to the Rams in August and is now a free agent. He has been unspectacular except for 2015, when caught 60 passes for 1,047 yards with the Bills.
2015 >> Wide receiver Amari Cooper – Raiders
Cooper made the Pro Bowl his first two years with the Raiders, but had an off year in 2017 with only 48 catches.
2016 >> Running back Ezekiel Elliott – Cowboys
Elliott led the NFL with 1,631 yards as a rookie. He rushed for 983 yards in 2017 despite being suspended for six games for domestic violence.
2017 >> Running back Leonard Fournette – Jaguars
Fournette missed three games but still rushed for 1,040 yards to help power the Jaguars from being 3-13 a year ago to a 10-6 record in 2017 and a spot in the AFC championship game.

On 19th June 2007 I slipped on the decking in my back garden. I was 38 weeks pregnant with my Little Man at the time. My left leg slipped out unnaturally to the side at speed and although I did not fall to the ground, the force of my legs doing the splits horizontally (literally the way your hip doesn't extend) combined with a heavy baby / pregnancy hormones resulted in significant injuries.
I knew immediately something bad had happened. Little Lady was 20 months at the time and was by my side when I slipped and I managed to stay calm and tried to call out to my neighbours over the fence. I was admitted to A & E at the local hospital where I was examined, the baby was confirmed well and unscathed and I was given a bit of gas and air to deal with the pain. I was unable to walk or stand and any movement (of myself or the baby) was agony.
Later that day I was transferred to a larger city hospital for an immediate cesarean section. For whatever reason, by the time I arrived the Doctors had decided not to undertake those steps. I was examined but was not x-rayed as baby was inside so it was a judgement call as to what was best. I was placed in a side room with a bed and commode. This was to be my prison for the next week. I was in immeasurable pain - every movement was agony and this was compounded by baby moving inside me. I moved only inches during those days - having injections to avoid clotting. I fainted through pain alone twice and plea'd for them to give me a cesarean every day. The hospital was well over an hour each way away from our home and so I only had a visit once a day. It truly felt like a torturous prison cell yet the wonderful baby moving inside me, my glorious girl and my best friend gave me hope.
Seven days later I had a C section and my beautiful boy was born - a gorgeous blessing. It was also the first time I could be pain relieved properly and in the short term this was a huge relief. I was then x-rayed and the Doctors realised the true extent of my injuries. I had broken my pelvis and my hip and ruptured my symphis pubis so nothing was holding either side of my pelvis together. I had only had paracetamol to treat the pain until this point and still could not put any weight on my left leg.
The next four days passed in a blur in that same room... but were far happier. Little Man slept in my hospital bed between my legs as I was still unable to walk to get him from the bassonette and we were very hopeful for full recovery thinking that the nightmare would soon be over. I was then transferred back to the local hospital and although physically I was struggling I was closer to home and that made visiting easier for everyone.
However, I then had a number of further health complications after his birth which meant that my lovely boy was discharged home while I stayed in hospital with a super bug unable to have any visitors for a further 5 days - including my lovely children. I was so ill I genuinely thought I would die. After the peak of this illness my milk came in and baby was miles from me. Gladly though, I recovered from the super bug and was allowed home after a full occupational health assessment.
When I returned home I was only able to walk a few slow and painful steps on a frame with the pain medicated by lots of meds including oral morphine. Of course, I could not feed baby from myself due to potential health implications for Little Man and subsequent opiate withdrawal. We put a bed in the lounge. My mum came to stay for 2 months to help me with the children [and my supposed recovery] for which I will remain eternally grateful. The hubby had used all his paternity leave during the time I was in hospital - so without Mum and his help - I don't know what would have happened. Little Man had his own health problems highlighted at the 8 week check and it was at this point that my emotions took a set back. It was the last straw on a very heavily laden camel.
After the first month I began to feel pressured to recover. I was asked daily - if I was feeling better, were my movements easier, and this combined with helpful suggestions from well meaning friends of 'needing to get out' meant I forced myself to do the baby groups, soft play... The more I did this, the worse my pain became and the lower my mood sank. I became terrified my children would be taken from me and so channeled Super Mum. I masked my symptoms from all but my closest friends and family and would return home to collapse sobbing in a chair - unable to walk for the next few days and emotionally exhausted. When people asked after my improvements I used to say "I've got two wonderful, healthy children, I'll be alright" like a mantra - a phrase to live by. Then as the implications of Little Man's health became clear and suddenly one of my babies was not healthy my heart and my mind broke. Not right there and then but little by little over the next year.
Around 2 months after the accident, I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and continued to have flashbacks to that hospital bed where I'd lain in agony for months afterwards.
Of course, I prioritised Little Man's health above mine and the numerous trips to Bristol Children's Hospital combined with both of our Doctor appointments it felt like we lived at the Doctors. Slowly I became engulfed by worry. Who I was as a person became lost. I knew something was wrong with me mentally but kept trying to think my way out of it - to rationalise myself well. But of course that didn't work. I was unwell mentally and physically and finally accepted treatment for anxiety and depression.
... I was diagnosed with early onset Rheumatoid Arthritis in many of my small joints as a result of the trauma that my body went through.
Between age 3 and 4 Little Man's condition thankfully became less acute and the fear could start to subside.
Six years on I am unable to stand on my left leg without medication and take a prescribed cocktail of drugs to help manage the pain including slow release morphine and oral morphine. My physical condition will not improve in future but I have learnt to live with my new capabilities.
I have replayed that fateful day in my head so many times. I had huge guilt and regret associated with the memory - "If only" and "what if" were all consuming sticking points in my emotional recovery for a long, long time. This is probably the biggest element of my healing in my road to recovery and I'll talk about that in the next part of this series: My Physical & Mental Journey.
I guess if I wanted someone to take anything away from these revelations it would be to smile at the stranger who looks a bit distracted; show kindness to people at the park or on your street; send that text or make that call you've been meaning to. It may just be that little thing that makes life for that person that bit brighter and make a small difference.
I'll continue with the next post on My Disability Journey next week. I've relayed these events fairly factually and avoided adding emotion to it - apologies if it reads a bit like a time line of events. The next post fully encompasses my recovery journey and I'd rather focus on this but you need the facts to be able to make sense of the rest! Take care for now,
J9 x

Primer Dugout (and link of the day) 1-15-2014
New York Evening World, January 15, 1914:
Huh. That's a very Branch Rickey thing to do. Anyway, their training grounds were just southwest of Coffee Pot Bayou and about two miles northeast of where the Rays play their home games.

Hopefully Jim Joyce won't get assigned to umpire their games.
Come on, we all know Grich just calls for that grounder and it turns into the most routine 4-3 groundout in history.
Wow, so Ray Chapman actually was a helluva player, wasn't he?5. Jefferson Manship (Dan Lee) Posted: January 15, 2014 at 01:52 PM (#4639656)
He died at age 29, and had 29 WAR at that time, which is a great total (I show it as the 30th most all-time by shortstops through age 29). He's ahead of a handful of Hall of Fame shortstops: Reese, Ozzie Smith, Aparicio, Appling and Bancroft. (And Rizzuto, but of course he missed three years in WW2).
Was there ever any sort of Hall of Fame campaign started for Chapman? That skill combined with the tragic circumstances of his death seems like he could have had a chance--I mean, if Ross Youngs and Addie Joss made it...
Nothing substantial re: Chapman and the Hall of Fame. He received one vote in the first election, tied for 80th place with (among others) a guy who played four years, was exactly replacement level, and murdered his family. I'm a huge fan of Chapman, but I can't really make an intellectually honest case for him to be in the HOF. Chapman was a really, really good player, but Joss was legitimately great and Youngs was a mindblowingly bad selection by the Hall. OTOH, Chappie was better than Marty Bergen.6. Rennie's Tenet Posted: January 15, 2014 at 03:32 PM (#4639730)
It's a shame the Indians can't retire his number. That seems like a fitting and entirely appropriate tribute, but he didn't have a number. I guess I'd like to see them add his name to their wall of retired numbers. Retire his last name.
"Sorry, Aroldis. I know you really want to play for Cleveland, but you can't. We've retired your last name."
Maybe Mays and Chapman go in together?7. Der-K: downgraded to lurker Posted: January 15, 2014 at 04:54 PM (#4639821)

Aceves could get $1.2 mill?
hafner takes college coaching job.It's a volunteer assistant job at a D2 school in suburban Cleveland. Hafner says he's not retiring and intends to keep playing.
I'd say something snarky about the market for ancient DHs who haven't been useful for years, but, y'know, Giambi.
thanks dan.11. Jose is an Absurd Force of Nature Posted: January 16, 2014 at 09:47 AM (#4640177)
Peter Abraham pointed out that the Orioles could probably sell tickets to just watch Buck Showalter manage Aceves. There will be blood.

Trivia: what was the last major league team to primarily conduct their spring training in a state other than Florida or Arizona? And - who was second to last?
Angels in Palm Springs?14. Der-K: downgraded to lurker Posted: January 16, 2014 at 01:06 PM (#4640380)
Before that, might be someone in Texas or Hot Springs, Ark.
Angels in Palm Springs lasted through '92, which is amazing.15. RoyalsRetro (AG#1F) Posted: January 16, 2014 at 01:11 PM (#4640383)
#2 is a team that also trained off and on California 'til '51, then again in 1966 - that time in Long Beach.
#3, I believe, is the Browns in San Bernadino in 1953 - they went to Yuma when the club shifted to Baltimore.
#2 - Cubs in Catalina Island in CA?16. Der-K: downgraded to lurker Posted: January 16, 2014 at 01:18 PM (#4640393)
Cubs in Long Beach. But, yeah, they hold the whole Wrigley replica on Catalina before that.

The MaryEllen Locher Breast Center works to maintain the highest level of breast care available by following the stringent guidelines of the American College of Radiology (ACR®), the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC®), and the National Consortium of Breast Centers.
Why choose a center of excellence?
Centers of excellence voluntarily undergo detailed examination of processes, quality indicators, and treatment plans to ensure that they are providing the best possible, most up-to-date care. Most physicians and clinicians practicing at centers of excellence eagerly seek additional training to remain at the forefront of advances in breast care.
The MaryEllen Locher Breast Center consistently meets or exceeds all quality standards of care, meaning you can rest assured the most advanced treatment options are available to you. And, unlike other breast imaging facilities, the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center is an all-inclusive center which allows women to go from a screening mammogram to a complete diagnostic work up in one appointment. While most women will never need the full range of services we offer, the few who do will have peace of mind in knowing they are in good hands. Our multidisciplinary team of professionals provide the best possible care while minimizing the time from finding a breast concern to diagnosis and treatment.
If you are a woman age 40 or better, please call (423) 495-4040 to schedule your screening mammogram.
Betsy J. Washburn, M.D., breast oncology surgeon, discusses why the MaryEllen Locher Breast Center is the best choice for breast care in the Chattanooga region.

No. 4 Penn Uses Balanced Attack To Advance Into Second Round
May 10, 2009
Courtesy of Penn
PHILADELPHIA--The No. 4 Penn women's lacrosse team scored five goals in each half to advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament. Duke, who defeated Virginia Sunday, will travel to Philadelphia, May 16 to face Penn, again at Drexel's Vidas Field.
The Quakers got on the board early with a goal from Ali DeLuca three minutes into the contest. The junior had a solid game for Penn with two goals, two assists, four caused turnovers and three ground balls.
Though Penn drew first blood, Fairfield struck back with two quick goals to hold a 2-1 lead. With just less than 15 minutes to play, senior Becca Edwards scored to tie it up. Nearing the six-minute mark, junior Emma Spiro converted on an eight-meter opportunity and reclaimed the lead for Penn.
Ivy League Rookie of the Year Erin Brennan and DeLuca closed out the scoring in the half, giving the Quakers a 5-2 advantage at the half.
After the break, Edwards stung the Stags with her second goal just two minutes into the half. Fairfield cut its deficit back to within two with 17:47 left to play.
The Quakers outscored the Stags 4-2 over the next 15 minutes and held a 10-6 lead with six minutes to go, but Fairfield would not go quietly. In the final six minutes, the Stags aggressively sought the goal and were rewarded with two free position goals.
However, it was the Quakers' Emily Szelest's crucial save on another attempt that gave Penn possession and the mental momentum to hold off the Stags in the final 1:30. The junior made six saves in the game. Her Fairfield counterpart Lauren Chatnik made 11, including eight in the second half, in the game.
Check back for a special Penn Sports Network video package, appearing later today. Also stay tuned for continuing coverage of Penn's run in the NCAA tournament.

LOS ANGELES -- Two men -- one of whom was wanted in the brutal murder of a University of Texas freshman -- jumped to their deaths from a Hollywood hotel before dawn yesterday morning, just as police broke into their hotel room, authorities said.
Matthew Novatny, 22, and Jason Smith, 19, were pronounced dead on the pavement where they fell. Mr. Novatny was being sought by police in Austin, Texas, as a suspect in the Oct. 19 murder of Tiffani Bruce, an 18-year-old fashion and design major at the University of Texas.
Mr. Novatny and Mr. Smith fled to the Los Angeles area from Texas several days ago in an effort to elude a nationwide manhunt, Austin, Texas, police said. Early yesterday

How has everyone coped with the bus strike today? Me? Couldn't sleep (stupid, noisy cats). Drenched in rain from my walk to work and entered a boring meeting. Ugh. I'm sure others have had a much worse day than me...
So to cheer me up (as usual) I'm going to try out these Japanese Doutor Coffee Beans Chocolate from the company Kabaya. I do like a good cup of coffee (I had three today and I want more but feel lively after listening to Aaron Kwok ^_^!).
|Doutor Coffee Beans Chocolate カバヤ ドトールコーヒービーンズチョコ
Where did I get these from I wonder. I think it might have been a confectionery store in Shimbashi or maybe it was the 100 yen store. *SHRUG* I can't remember. I actually thought it said Doctor at the front but it's Doutor. I'm not very good on Japanese play words. Doutor is actually a Japanese coffee company / chain (like Starbucks or Costa). So here they are using Kabaya chocolate and Doutor coffee beans. That makes sense.
|On the other side
Here's the side packaging...

|More side info of ingredients
And inside are some large pieces of chocolate. I'm sure coffee beans are not of this size.
|They almost look like Maltesers
The surround is coated with normal milk chocolate. The next layer I believe is white chocolate. And the middle is a coffee tasting shell which is crunchy and has a tiny bitter taste to it. After biting it and chewing it for a bit it's like having bits of horrible ground coffee in your mouth. And then you after a horrible after taste. Yeek!!

St. Edward's wins Heartland tourney
Hilltoppers came from two shots back to win fifth title in a row
The sixth-ranked St. Edward's women's golf team came from two strokes down to win the 2011 Heartland Conference Championship on Tuesday at Teravista Golf Club.
Melisa Gonzalez shot a final-round 71 to tie for individual honors before winning in a playoff to help guide the Hilltoppers to their fifth consecutive conference crown.
St. Edward's (309-304 -- 613) started the round off two shots behind Dallas Baptist (307-316 -- 623), and that deficit fell to as many as eight shots, before they rallied on the back nine to surpass the Patriots. Gonzalez led the charge as she tallied birdies at holes 11, 12, 14, and 15 to shoot a four-under 32 coming in. Dallas Baptist finished 10 shots behind the Hilltoppers for second place, while Newman (314-318--632) ended in third place.
"Today was very exciting and fun," head coach Jennifer McNeil said. "Everyone knew every shot was crucial and we needed to pick upstrokes that we lost yesterday. I thought we did an excellent job under pressure. Our focus today was to get better and I feel like we accomplished that."
Newman's Linzi Allan (74-74 -- 148) had a par for the final hole to force a tie for first. Both players went to the first hole for the playoff. Gonzalez sent her tee shot right down the middle of the fairway 140 yards from the green. Allan's drive was also true and ended up about 30 yards from a greenside bunker in the fairway. Both players' approach shot landed just off of the green. After each player's chip landed about six feet from the cup, both players had a putt for par. Allan went first and missed. Gonzalez stepped up and drained the putt for her first collegiate victory.
"I am so proud for Melisa and her awesome round, but to win in a playoff was both a great experience and made the victory even sweeter," McNeil said. "It was truly exciting to watch her win and I am so proud of her great play and super focus."

With over 20 years experience, John provides courses that are engaging, informative and rewarding for businesses and individuals in the UK and abroad.
Customer Testimonials
"Thoroughly enjoyed this powerful course which makes you think along avenues you have possibly never been before" (Compassionate Leadership workshop)
"Some really good stuff in there! I certainly got some good points from it not only to be used in counselling but also interview technique as well. All that was covered is relevant to what I do every day and also with the new recruitment process starting now I got some good points to help with the recruitment interviews. Many thanks for an interesting session. "
"John Fisher is one of the most creative and innovative coaches I have ever met. With the most respectful and sincere approach to helping you achieve the best outcome."
"We tested it today John and it works wonders – providing people with the framework of change and overlaying their values and needs through our True Colors tool provides people with coping mechanisms to manage the transition and stay in their own power and strength."
"I really like how John's transition curve illustrates the range of emotions/reactions that can occur when someone is working through change, as well as the timeline being unique depending on the person and the change involved … I think it is helpful in terms of stopping to reflect [on] not only where you are with a change, but where others are as well in order to attune to what they are experiencing and to help as possible."
"I am very happy to have this training. I personally will recommend this course to my colleagues. I am very thankful to Mr John Fisher for helping us to understand more deeply the meaning of Leadership. I learnt a lot in 8 days. I will remember this my whole life. Keep it up John! Keep smiling! Well done!"
"I have used John's services in 2014. I immediately found John to have a relaxing influence allowing the free flow of information and dialogue. The professional manner and recourse used by John is creative and engaging. Follow up feedback and reporting gave the critical information to make future decision for any business."
Thank you for your time, comprehensive delivery and warm welcome last week. I have already fed back positive words to my team about how much I enjoyed your session.
Thank you very much for the session last week. Very well structured, with strong points and managed to cover all this material without us feeling that you were rushing! I also do appreciate the reading list provided, it was a pleasant surprise!
Many thanks for the really enlightening day on Thursday. I think it is very important to create the right impression when we first start with the organisation – and you did a fabulous job.
A quick share, took my major learning difficult conversation and put into practice yesterday after preparing for it – best coaching conversation ever – no issues great from both sides – way forward and all fully engaged – wow and big big thanks

The Seasonal Almanac shares astronomical and nature events, this issue includes information on when the migrating swallows announce the return of spring every year.
At the mission of San Juan Capistrano in California the swallows traditionally return from their distant wintering grounds on March 19. Human pressures on these birds have apparently reduced their numbers and made their return date less reliable. But in countless places around the north temperate zone of Earth swallows announce the return of spring, people look for the return of these graceful, swooping birds and are delighted by their punctuality. Here in southern New Jersey I look for swallows to come back to a local pond on one of the first few days of April.
Swallows and their relatives, the swifts, include the big purple martin, the scissor-tailed and buff-breasted barn swallow, the chimney swift ("a cigar with wings and twinkling flight") and many more species. Watch for your local varieties to return as not the first but one of the most definite - and delightful - signs of spring.
