More: Crisis in the Horn of Africa
Across the eastern Horn of Africa, more than 11 million people -- a number greater than the populations of Houston and New York City combined -- are now in need of emergency assistance to survive. Today, Ambassador Johnnie Carson, Assistant Secretary for African Affairs; Dr. Reuben Brigety, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration; Ambassador Donald Steinberg, Deputy Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID); and Assistant Administrator Nancy Lindborg of USAID held a special press briefing on this humanitarian crisis.
Assistant Secretary Carson said, "We in the United States Government have been responding to the evolving humanitarian situation in the Horn of Africa for some time, and my colleagues and I will provide you with additional details on this situation. However, I wanted to underline the importance that we attach to providing an appropriate and timely response in full partnership with the international community. Severe drought, poor infrastructure and insecurity have had a debilitating impact on the welfare of millions of people in this region, especially in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia. This crisis has resulted in severe malnutrition, acute hunger, and rising levels of starvation. It has generated extraordinary refugee flows across thousands of miles in East Africa.
"The current crisis in the Horn has long-term and short-term implications. It threatens the lives of those at risk, especially young children and women. And it also endangers the hard-won development gains and the future prospects of millions of people throughout East Africa and the Horn. Today, over 11 million people are in need of emergency assistance in the Horn of Africa. In Kenya, an estimated 3.6 million people have been affected. This includes refugees, rural pastoralists, and urban poor who are unable to buy adequate food because of escalating prices.
"In Ethiopia, at least 4.5 million people are in need of assistance. Almost 3 million people need assistance in Somalia. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees already in Kenya and in Ethiopia, new arrivals are coming in at staggering daily rates. Many of these most recent refugees are suffering from life-threatening malnutrition, and there may be many more in need of assistance in Eritrea, where a repressive regime fails to provide data on the humanitarian needs of its own people. The free flow of information is what allows people to make early choices that can help avert catastrophe. We urge the Government of Eritrea to cooperate with the UN agencies and other international organizations to address the issue of hunger and food shortage in that country.
"The State Department and USAID have been working with the international community and governments in the region to respond to food, water, shelter, and sanitation needs of affected populations. As we work to address the short-term immediate needs in the region, we will continue to implement our Feed the Future initiative as part of our long-term strategy to mitigate the effects of prolonged drought and food shortage in this area in the future. The Feed the Future program is intended to increase agricultural productivity, shift away from rain-fed agriculture, promote better storage techniques, employ modern farming methods, and utilize science and technology to assist populations in adapting to increasing erratic weather patterns throughout the Horn of Africa. By investing in and working closely with regional governments, we hope the Feed the Future program will help reduce regional vulnerabilities to these types of humanitarian crises in the future.
"An especially complex and difficult component of the Horn of Africa's humanitarian crisis is the high number of Somali refugees flowing into both Ethiopia and Kenya. This is a result of three overlapping and intersecting problems. The first is the extreme climate-induced drought that has prevailed intensely for the past two years and cyclically for more than 50 years. The second is the absence of a functioning central government in Somalia for over two decades. And the third is the presence of the anti-Western terrorist organization Al-Shabaab in south central Somalia. Al-Shabaab's activities have clearly made the current situation much worse. In January 2010, Al-Shabaab prohibited international humanitarian workers and organizations from operating in their areas of control. And its continued refusal to grant humanitarian access has prevented the international community from responding to and mitigating some of the cumulative and most disastrous consequences of the drought in south central Somalia.
"We have seen the recent reports that Al-Shabaab claims that it will finally allow international humanitarian aid into areas under its control. We are consulting with international organizations that have worked in these areas to verify if there has been any real change in Al-Shabaab's policies that would allow us and others to operate freely and without taxation imposed for humanitarian deliveries. Al-Shabaab's current policies are wreaking havoc and are not helping Somalis living in the south central part of that country.
"The drought and humanitarian crisis in the Horn will not end next week or next month. As this crisis and its humanitarian needs expand, the international community and host governments will be called upon to do more to respond to the immediate and critical humanitarian assistance needs in the Horn of Africa. We recognize the measures that the countries in the region are putting in place, and we applaud our partners who have already responded generously to the appeals for assistance. As we look for ways to implement more comprehensive approaches, we hope potential donors will increase food, shelter, and financial contributions as part of a focused campaign to meet the critical needs of the region."

July, 20 2011 - Present time.
Crisis is everywhere and for everyone.
The Big Horn of Africa, European states like Alabama,Rupert Murdoch, his son and the red Rebekah who are making more money then all this states all together.
The whole world is on a crisis, animals are mistreated with all those pets with noone taking care of them.
All those Lonely dogs cats with no humans spending money and buying dog food for them like before.
then we got Assad killing up all protesters and the Libyan colonel who does not want to leave his country sending tanks against civil population.
It s a great show and the audience now in one voice is asking for an ahmadinejad declaration against Tibet cos Islam can't stand for Tibet rights.
Watchers don't know what to hope anymore probably it will be applaused that Islam gather under one Red Flag with a yellow hammer and sickle on it and a spiritual guide called Allah with one prophet only named Mohammed.
Is indeed Islam turning comunist ? are they all Soviets buying and producing gas for Gazprom?
I am confused but in this confusion the only thing I d really loved to watch instead then a dish full of shaving cream in Murdoch face it would have rather been a nice naked woman running in the British parliament as in a soccer field to protest against this News of the world
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Folks complain about what it costs to fight and win the wars we get into, never considering what it costs to not deal with a situation right the first time, for there would be no piracy, famine, or ongoing perpetual conflict in Somalia had we had the political will at the time, instead of a cut and run reaction to the terrorism of warlords.
Ain't 20/20 hindsight just a drag sometimes?
Lest anyone in my government feel insulted by a little "truth to power", I say get over it and get busy with it now!
Doesn't need to be our boots on the ground when we've helped folks to become world powers over the decades (India, China, in ex.)
Point bein' that folks have a choice to step up to the plate and prove themselves worthy of their place among nations, and we have a mistake to correct as well. But we shouldn't need to do that on our own, for it will be on everyone if it doesn't get done right today.
It is shameful to see how Al-Shebab has dictated the terms of humanitarian aid delivery to Ngo's and the UN over these past few years, and no more should folks think of such as being tolerable.
This didn't need to happen, and it has because the world decided to compromise its principals with terrorists.
How many lives be lost till folks learn these lessons from history, never to repeat them?
Henok in New York writes:
Mr Johnnie Carson,
Please understand that Eritrea does not need hand outs as it has worked hard to guarantee a sufficient amount of self sufficiency in food security.
Why do you insist in force feeding those that dont need to be fed?
The EPLF has a long history of quickly responding to the humanitarian needs of the Eritrean people so there is no track record of covering up food shortages in Eritrea.
Your comments show that you have a very poor knowledge of Eritrea, its history and her people.
Shame on you Mr Carson!!
A.M. in North Carolina writes:
As much as I disagree with the government of Eritrea on many points, the hypocrisy & comments of US officials such as those by Johnnie Carson about Eritrea makes me want to puke. If you really care about the people of the Horn, stop interfering, taking sides. If you really want to interfere, you should at least try to do the right thing. How about starting by demarcating the border between Eritrea & Ethiopia?
With peace, everything else is secondary & we Africans can take care of our problems. Please, leave us alone.
Fessahaye in Colorado writes:
Mr Johnnie carson i listen your sick comment abaout eritrea situation on hunger crises whitch is not real true so please weak up if you are real man go to eritrea and see the situatin by your self then you can wittnes.
please dont try to comfuise the world with your lie.
Ezra A. in Canada writes:

Jelena in California writes:
First of all, I write this with the understanding that our US gov owns UN. That means the bankers and corporations that drowned us into recession, because they own our elected officials.
This looks so familiar from the old Balkan area, where someone is bought to call a country's leadership repressive while its own people won't agree. As sad as it might sound, if our US Gov defaults, may be its good since it won't have money to corrupt such desperate individuals who are in office and paid accuse a country our government has an eye on with an agenda.
Leave them alone and lets feed the poor hungry people in the slums of America from East Palo Alto through Chicago to Brooklyn. While at it, let's get America back to work. That's why we voted you in.
Zharkov in the U.S.A. writes:
Wouldn't it be nice if the US government could actually afford to help Africa?
Imagine how many people could be saved from starvation if the money spent by the State Department for parties, travel, and meetings, was instead spent on food and water in Somalia.
Imagine how much food and water you could have delivered with all the money that the Pentagon spent on illegal, undeclared wars in the Middle East?
Think of the water wells, irrigation infrastructure, housing, agriculture, that might have been, had the US treasury not been squandered in bailing out foreign governments, foreign banks and insolvent manufacturers, from their incompetent management practices, excessive spending and risky investments.
What Africa needs is exactly the same as what America needs - a truely free market economy, suitable jobs, and a working infrastructure.
When political parties and Congress learn how to get out of the way of those goals, maybe our government will have something to offer Africa by way of example.
A free market means one not paralyzed by government bureaucracy and regulations, forms, licenses, permits, approvals, studies, reports, and the rest of the bullocks imposed by bureaucratic decree. Governments in Africa and America need to re-learn the basic principles that lead to prosperity.

I'm waiting until I have all the pictures from family before I post my marathon race report and finishing talking about all the craziness that was the Goofy Challenge BUT I thought I'd leave a little something for the time being.
I'm doing surprisingly well post-marathon. With every race and accomplishment it always has me itching for something else to put on my calendar. My event calendar currently has nothing on it. Part of me is happy about that the other part can't wait to get something scheduled. For now though, I am enjoying my break from training.
My trip to Florida was really a great experience. I'd been to Disney World once before with her when I was about 12 but I think I noticed different things this time around. Here are some musings that don't really fit in with Part II of my race report but I still want to share.
1) Florida in the winter is MUCH more pleasant than in the summer
2) Disney knows how to entertain---I didn't use my ipod during either race
3) I thank Florida for being the sunshine state and for having over an hour more daylight than Portland, I needed it
4) Disney knows that bathrooms need to be located every 10 feet--thanks
5) Hearing Disney songs can drown out all the crying babies/screaming toddlers and take me to a happy place
6) Disney has good race bling!
7) Epcot wasn't my favorite park but the food in the world showcase was actually really good (I highly recommend the Moroccan..mmmmmm)
8) Speaking of food, turns out I can run races eating weird food at odd hours
9) Seeing your 5 year old nephew at mile 19 and having him tell you you're a "good runner" is totally priceless!
10) Having random strangers and park workers tell you "congratulations" or "you're a crazy goofy" the day after the race was pretty awesome
11) Seeing the Pi family at the finish line of Goofy or later that day was awesome---built in fan support
12) I enjoyed waiting with fellow runners (ie Adults) in the character picture lines
13) Hearing about people going off course to ride the rides during the marathon really made me wish I had thought to do the same!
14) I did not see a healthy looking orange tree in Florida---I think I'll stick with my California oranges thank you
15) Knowing that 5 of the Pi's on the Florida vacation finished a race made me very proud (of the 5 there were two PR's one in the 5k and one in the marathon)
I could go on and on with other observations and things that make me smile about the trip but I'll spare you. I should have Part II of my Goofy report up soon but know this--so far, this was the best race experience I've had. I can't tell if it's b/c I have ZERO time expectations or b/c I was surrounded by family or b/c it was just darn entertaining but for anyone considering the Goofy Challenge---DO IT, it was a BLAST!

Starring: Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong, Jeffrey Tambor, Paul Giamatti, Jamie Chung, Nick Cassavettes
Director: Todd Phillips
Writer(s): Craig Mazin, Scot Armstrong, Todd Phillips
Cinematography: Lawrence Sher
Original Score: Christophe Beck
Running Time: 102 Mins.
It's very rare for a sequel to outdo its original, Toy Story 2, Aliens and most prolifically The Godfather: Part 2 are always touted as bettering their first entries. The latter of which Todd Phillips has acknowledged as a benchmark to measure up to in sequel terms with his comedy surprise smash hit of two summer's back, The Hangover. Let's face it there was likely a hint of wry sarcasm in that comment however it doesn't forgive the director/writer for churning out a film that is less a sequel and more a premature remake, switching the debauched Las Vegas for somewhere even more grimy, Bangkok. Yes this allows for the "bigger is better" mantra that is often applied in the "rules of sequels" handbook but the sheer laziness of plotting does have a tendency to irk.
So, much like last time around (too much so) there is an impending wedding, this time it is Stu's (Helms) and the guys set about having a quiet bachelor brunch, this then moves to a quiet drink on the beach followed by the blackout and the titular hangover. This, as last time, leaves Stu, Phill (Cooper) and Alan (Galifianakis) traipsing around Bangkok in search of answers and the bride-to-be's lost brother. Yes some characters are switched fr the purpose of not being a total remake, as are plot elements but having a monkey rather than a Tiger and a an elderly monk rather than a baby won't fool anyone with half a brain cell. These guys have a formula that worked, wonderfully, and have no intention of veering too far from it. Though this leads me to comedy sequels in general, they aren't that abundant and as Will Ferrell will testify with Anchorman or Ben Stiller with Zoolander, raising the cash is hard especially if the sequel idea is different from the premise that garnered the originals box office buck. The Hangover: Part 2 was a no-brainer really, the idea of men piecing together a wild night of drunken antics in other locales is ripe for sequel ideas, that plot thrust alone providing opportunity but actual points that leave no surprise are more of an issue.
Thankfully now I have cleared up the lack of ambition in terms of plot I can get to the important bits, the laughs. So where plot hits the same beats so to does the laugh quota (almost), it lacks a couple of that films better set pieces (the casino, the chapel) but makes way for some hilarious (and inevitable) episodes with ladyboys and a monastery, though not at once, that would just be wrong! Alan's screen time is bumped up more and we learn more about him and despite going through the (plot) motions what a sequel allows time for is to appreciate these very well written comedy characters, the wolf pack is back and make the most of their second adventure to build on friendships in a non-cheesey way but still sincere. Doug in particular gets to be more than two-dimensions of characterisation, and if Phill is still just the sleazy-womanizer he does it well enough that it doesn't really matter.
Filling out the cast is Mr. Chow, also in an expanded role, providing enough laughs to make his return a welcome one, less so if Justin Bartha, the guy is great at comedy yet he simply sits on the sidelines when his involvement in the nights machinations would have been welcome and added a new dimension and something a little fresher to something that will quickly become stale if yet another identikit film is wrought from the exact same premise. Also Teddy is a forgettable cipher to set the wheels in motion, not really given anything more to do than act out his "prodigal son" role, the much vaunted role of the tattoo artist who was once meant to be Mel Gibson then Liam Neeson is simply there for exposition and Paul Giamatti pops up for a needless subplot that mirrors that of Chow in the original, such a shame given the man's comedy credentials.
As with the original the film is well shot and photographed for a comedy, grounded in a real world of grime and smut it is lit more like a thriller than a comedy, befitting of the seedy and smutty jokes, talking of which nothing is deemed sacred. As expected the comedy depths are mined, in the best possible way of course, these men have no taste (again in the best possible way) meaning that the aforementioned ladyboys turn up for the biggest laughs, the monkey smokes and that's just the start of it! So overall The Hangover: Part 2 does as a comedy should, a good one at that, gives us characters we love and a constant flow of jokes, some of which are chuckles with other (and more often) full-blown belly laughs…really could have done without Mike Tyson and his very much unfunny ballad!
The Hangover: Part 2 is more remake than sequel, sticking excruciatingly close to its forebear. Thank god then that it is very nearly just as funny, even without the surprise and originality of the first, some testament to how well written The Wolfpack are.

Steezy is usually used with some sort of sport such as skateboarding, snowboarding, bmx, ect. It's the combined words, style and ease. When someone lands a trick and it's clean, it's called steezy.
Woah, dude, did you see that switch 360 laser flip off that twelve stair?
Yeah, that was so steezy.

an adjective describing someone's style, especially when having to do with snowboarding. Meaning smooth, stylish, clean and cool. Can either mean someone's clothing style, or more importantly, their riding style on the hill. One always wants to ride steezy, and to tell someone that they're trick was steezy is a great compliment.
"hey bro, that sick little 270 was lookin steezy, props."

"It is the between-the-elections conduct of the state that is the focus of the anti-corruption movement. Ironically, though Mr Hazare is rural, the urban middle class, a child in India's risking prosperity, has formed the base of the movement. That also means it will have the internal resources to last. A political battle has begun to make democracy deeper. The political class should be concerned."

PRISM is your total Inclusion and Diversity Training Partner
Diversity and Inclusion Increases Customer Satisfaction, Market Share & Competitive Positioning
One important business relevant result is increasing customer satisfaction, market share and competitive positioning (at home and globally). U.S. demographics are shifting and global markets have flattened. Awareness and skills received through diversity training helps employees and team members relate to customers who are different from them and provide sales and service that best fits their individual needs and expectations. PRISM's diversity training assists in increasing cultural competencies. Visit Increasing Cultural Competencies or Leveraging Diversity and Inclusion.
Diversity and Inclusion Training Increases Workplace Productivity & Innovation
Organizations are looking to increase operational efficiencies, employee morale and motivation. Organizations utilizing the awareness and skills provided by diversity training and inclusion training create a workplace where all employees' talents and ideas are considered. As a result, organizations have higher employee retention rates; improved individual and team performance and morale; improved workplace staffing (diversity recruitment); and, increased innovation. Bringing together people from diverse backgrounds with a variety of experiences produces more actionable ideas. Diverse team members help tap creativity and energy and help respond faster to our customers' changing needs. Implementing a diversity and inclusion process can help an organization discover new ways to approach their markets, their processes and their business model. For more information, visit diversity and inclusion training.
D&I Reduces Legal Exposure, Costs and Adverse Publicity
Organizations having implemented a comprehensive diversity and inclusion process that includes diversity training accompanied by business policy that supports zero tolerance for harassment are in a stronger position to prevent harassing and discriminatory behaviors BEFORE they occur. Additionally, organizations that show a stronger case for diversity and inclusion can help protect themselves from regulatory actions, expensive lawsuits and negative and embarrassing publicity. Organizations without comprehensive diversity and inclusion harassment prevention policies are in a more precarious situation when faced with a harassment or discrimination lawsuit.

Last week I was working with a group of high school seniors and I made them brainstorm on a teacher, or teachers, who had made a positive impact on their lives prior to high school. The "prior to high school" caveat was mainly because they were all still in high school and I wanted them to think back. We talked about what makes a good teacher and eventually settled on the answer, "it's the little things." Then I made them look up an email address or, if needed, a physical address of a teacher they remembered had made an impact on them though "the little things." We wrote letters, by hand and on computers, thanking those teachers for what they'd done, detailing that "little thing," and updating them on where their former students were now and where they hoped to go in the future.
They told me I should do it, too, so I sat there contemplating the question. I'd certainly had some great teachers and I'd had some really awful teachers. Most of the good teachers were in high school and college and certainly not all of my "teachers" have been in schools. But middle school had a dearth of teachers I felt like cared at all.
I got caught up in the rest of the day and didn't really plan to follow through with sending off a letter and forgot about it until I got home and turned on my computer. I had a Facebook friend request from somebody who had bullied me mercilessly in middle school. I couldn't figure out why she'd want to be friends; this was a girl who scribbled "fag" all over my backpack and was such a "nice girl" in front of the teachers that, when she told one of them I'd copied her test rather than the other way around, I failed and almost didn't pass math. And how had she found me? I'd changed my name since middle school and there was no way she should have known to look me up. I considered, strongly considered, sending her a nastily worded message about how bad she'd made my life.
It got me thinking again about those teachers who hadn't done the right thing and played into the idea that bullies have low self-esteem and let them get away with murder. Then I remembered an incident on the playground before school; this person was bullying me and my science teacher came up to us and completely diffused the situation. I started thinking about that letter I hadn't written.
I searched out my middle school's website just to see if she happened to still work there. She did. I grabbed the letter format I'd made my high schoolers use and started to write. Almost immediately I realized that I'd either have to come out as transgender to this teacher or use only my legal name and an old email address to avoid coming out.
I came out to her; I figured I lost nothing if she never responded, or thought it was spam, or didn't care, or just never saw the email. I explained why I was writing, thanked her for standing up to a bully for me that one morning (the little things!), let her know where I'd gone to undergrad and where I was in grad school, and signed off.
Less than fifteen minutes later she sent me a friend request on Facebook.
Okay, so much for her never seeing it, or not responding, or not remembering who I was.
So I did what I do. Sent her a Facebook message. "That was an awkwardly fast response to a completely random email." She responded that she'd been avoiding grading. And we started chatting. She had family in Maine and Boston, relatives associated with Unitarian Universalist Churches.
Then she said, "love the new look." I made some sarcastic comment about moving quickly from Dykesville to Tranny Town after high school but inside I was saying, "Oh, thank you, God." She was fine with it; it was a nonissue.
I don't know why it mattered. This wasn't somebody I'd even really thought of since I left middle school and had she never responded to my email I wouldn't have really thought about it. And if there HAD been some issue with it then, hey, what did it matter? She was my science teacher, for one year, thirteen years ago. I'm pretty sure in the prioritized list of "people who need to accept my gender identity" that's… pretty low.
I'm at the point in my life where I'm not closeted to anybody I've met in the past five years and anybody from before that who I'm friends with in any capacity online. I'm out to my parents and my siblings and a couple high school teachers who I've stayed in contact with. But because Facebook didn't become public until after I left high school I never ended up friends with almost anybody I went to school with. Anybody who tries to seek me out now won't find me under my legal name.
Therefore anybody I contact from before I transitioned I have to make that choice with.
Should I come out to you?
Are you safe?
Does it matter?
Sometimes the conversation is great. This teacher was wonderful about it. Last time I came out to a former teacher she was… less okay with it. She's come around, and we're fine now but her initial reaction hurt. A few people never questioned me when I changed my name online while others asked about it and then never brought it up again.
But it will always be the little things that make the biggest impact.
"Love the new look."

The Sports Xchange
By Ron Higgins, The Sports Xchange
Griz win Game 3, cut Clips' series lead to 2-1
MEMPHIS -- During the individual pregame warmups, Zach Randolph was the last of the Memphis Grizzlies to leave the floor.
He stayed extra long, working on his post moves, flipping in shots from both sides of the basket.
Then, he went out and did it to the Clippers. The veteran forward had a turn-back-the-clock performance, going for 27 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Grizzlies to a 94-82 Game 3 victory in a first-round Western Conference series.
The win cut the Clips series lead to 2-1 with game 4 set for Saturday afternoon in FedExForum.
Marc Gasol added 16 points and eight rebounds, Tony Allen had 13 points and nine rebounds, and Mike Conley had six points and 10 assists.
The Clippers were led by Blake Griffin, who had 16 points. Point guard Chris Paul was held to eight points.
The Grizzlies led by as many as 14 points with 1:22 left in the third quarter before the Clippers cut the lead to seven points with starters Paul, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan resting on the bench.
That trio re-entered with 7:37 left to play, but the Grizzlies didn't flinch. The Griz bench didn't put them in a bad spot heading down the stretch, and all the starters were fully armed and not in foul trouble.
In the first two playoff games, the Clippers came out swinging, trying to attack Randolph and draw fouls. In game three from the opening tip, Randolph attacked back.
He scored seven of the Grizzlies' first 11 points as the Griz took a 11-10 lead with 5:33 left in the opening quarter. Randolph showed renewed energy, posting quickly on offense and his teammates got him the ball pronto. The Grizzlies led 21-16 when Randolph went to the bench for a breather.
For the first time in the series, the Grizzlies' bench didn't bend under the pressure of the Clippers' reserves during the game's first substitution.
Also, Griz coach Lionel Hollins took note to keep at least two starters on the floor at just about all times. Such strategy seemed to steady the Griz. When all the Griz starters returned, they went on a 9-0 run and led 47-39 at the half.
Hollins emphasized before the game that the Grizzlies would have to come out firing every quarter, especially after halftime. And they did, with the offense coming from an unlikely source -- Allen, the league's best perimeter defender.
Allen, who didn't score in the first half, scored six points in the first three minutes of the half. Memphis got into the last 2:36 leading by 10, but seemed it was losing energy and focus when a media timeout occurred. The Clips finished the quarter on an 8-0 run and trailed just 70-62 entering the final period.
NOTES: The Clippers entered the night having won three straight games in FedExForum and four of the past six, but the Grizzlies still felt good about their home-court advantage. They walked in for their shootaround and noticed a yellow "Growl Towel" laid on every seat in the arena. "Seeing these yellow towels makes me think about training camp, fighting hard to get to this point," Grizzlies guard Tony Allen said. "Not letting up is our mindset, grinding." ... While the Grizzlies set a franchise record for most home wins in a season with 32, the Clippers set a franchise record for most road wins in a season with 24. ... The Memphis bench wasn't able to match the Los Angeles bench in the first two games. "We feel like teams get worn down because they're facing two starting-five units," said Clippers reserve guard Jamal Crawford, who averaged 16.5 points in the regular season and 14 points in the first two playoff games. "Our job is to increase the lead and wear the other team out so our starters can polish them off." ... Randolph and Griffin were whistled for double fouls against each other in each of the first two games. "The rasslin' breaks up the flow of the game," Clippers coach Vinny del Negro said. "All you can ask for is for the officials to be consistent."

Last month we explained how to properly remove a quarter-panel so that as much of the original factory look as possible could be preserved. In fact, when this work is done correctly, no one should be able to tell that the quarter was ever replaced. No telltale scars should show. Not only that, but the new panel should survive at least as long as the original.
As you saw last month, removing the cancerous part always uncovers more areas that need proper treatment. There's hidden rust, dirt, debris, and old undercoating that needs attended to. You do not want these things to contaminate all your hard work and cause the body to reject your new panel. Take the time and spend the effort to treat these areas, and you should never have to be concerned about a relapse again.
No two cars were assembled exactly the same. In fact, the same car is not the same from one side to the other. Everything wasn't intended to be perfect, it just had to be within an acceptable tolerance. Now if you add thirty or so years of usage and maybe even a bump or two, you can see why no car is going to be perfectly "square."
The reason we are reminding you of these things is that even when using quality reproduction panels, each panel must be custom-fitted to each car. Prep work is never fun or glamorous, and it sometimes doesn't look like you are really accomplishing anything. It can be dirty, dusty, tedious, and time consuming, but if you don't get this part right, those things that you are covering up will begin to grow again, eventually causing future problems by reinfecting the new parts you've labored so hard to replace. So, don't be in a hurry to slap that new panel on. Invest the effort now, and you'll be rewarded for many years to come.

TMJ / TMD Treatment
Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ, TMJD or TMD) cause tenderness and pain in your jaw, face, and head and neck.
These disorders occur as a result of problems with the temporomandibular joint, which is the hinge joint on each side of your head in front of your ears that connects the lower jawbone to your skull.
Possible causes of the disorder are:
- Injury to the jaw, the joint or muscles of the head and neck such as from a heavy blow or whiplash
- Grinding or clenching your teeth
- Dislocation of the ball and socket
- Arthritis in the TMJ
- Stress
Certain causes may also affect your bite, which in turn may require corrective dental treatment. We can improve your bite by balancing the surfaces of your teeth, replacing missing teeth or replacing fillings or crowns. Maintaining a stable bite is essential to your oral health and ensures that your teeth will come in contact in the most pain-free manner possible.
Head, Neck and Facial Pain
That ongoing headache or earache you experience could be caused by issues with your jaw joints or bite. This can be difficult to diagnose, but our team is dedicated to proper diagnosis and treatment to combat this pain effectively and successfully.
Symptoms of pain caused by TMJ can include:
- Frequent headaches or neck pain
- Jaw pain and tired jaw muscles more prevalent in the morning or late afternoon
- Clicking noise when you open or close your mouth
- Difficultly opening and closing
- Jaw pain when chewing or yawning; jaws have locked up
- Earaches or ringing in the ears without infection or other cause
- Clenching and grinding (increases with stress)
- Sensitive, broken, or worn teeth when no dental problems exist
- Teeth do not fit together
To properly diagnose TMJ issues, we need to perform a complete head and neck evaluation, as well as a complete health history check, x-rays and other tests as needed. Our multi-disciplinary approach to effective diagnosis includes custom orthotics, stress management, medications, modality therapy and referral to other healthcare specialists if necessary. Our office understands the importance of a team approach with physicians and sleep centers, so we can provide successful, long-term care solutions.
Sleep Apnea and Snoring
There is a connection between TMJ disorders and sleep disorders. Over 90 million Americans have snoring problems, most are adults over the age of 40. If this develops into obstructive sleep apnea, a wide range of problems from sleep disturbance to more serious health issues can result. Sleep Apnea is instigated when the soft tissue in the back of your throat relaxes while you sleep, causing interruptions in breathing. These interruptions usually last between 10 to 20 seconds each and can occur up to hundreds of times a night.
Common symptoms:
- Loud, chronic snoring and long pauses in breath
- TMJ soreness upon awakening
- Choking or gasping while sleeping
- Feeling tired and sleepy thoughout the day
- Waking up with headache, dry mouth or sore throat
- Insomnia or constantly waking during the night
- Forgetfulness, irritability or depression
Problems that can develop from untreated sleep apnea:
- Chronic tiredness from sleep deprivation
- Slower reflexes, poor concentration
- High blood pressure and weight gain
- Health issues such as diabetes and heart disease
As dentistry is an integral part of sleep medicine, we work together with physicians to provide effective diagnosis and treatment for sleep disorders.

Never has such a simple sandwich generated such ferocious debate. Pretty much all sides agree that the perfect lobster rolls call for fighting-fresh lobster meat, mayonnaise, and a split bun soaked with butter. But beyond these basics, hair-splitting begins.
Now that high-quality live Maine lobsters are widely available across the country, the distinctions are not so much regional as ideological. Some camps get their backs up at the mere mention of embellishment; others advocate the addition of chopped celery (for economy's sake as well as contrapuntal crunch). And then there are those who believe that this insanely expensive sea delicacy deserves better company than mayo from a jar and a common hot dog bun.
New York Chef Dan Silverman can be counted among the latter. Toward the end of his tenure at New York's Lever House, he created this lobster roll with truffle mayonnaise, a treat so delicious – briny, earthy, foresty, sweet – it set a new benchmark in crustacean delight.
We asked Silverman, now behind the burners at The Standard Grill, to approximate his take on the Northeast classic, and his first tip was to make our own mayonnaise. (His rendition is speckled with shavings of black truffle, enhanced by an infinitesimal amount of black truffle oil, and sharpened by the tang of crème fraîche.) With the help of a food processor, the entire sauce-making operation takes little more time – honest – than opening a jar, and your guests will applaud you as a master.
1-1/4 lb lobster
1 tbsp celery
1 tbsp chives sea salt ground pepper
1 oz chopped black truffle
1 egg, plus 1 yolk
Juice of 1 lemon
2-1/2 cups grapeseed oil
Cayenne pepper
2 cups crème fraîche
2 tbsp black truffle oil
Brioche bun
Step One
For each serving, combine the cooked meat of one 1-1/4 lb lobster (sliced into bite-sized chunks), a tablespoon of finely chopped celery, and a tablespoon of chives in a bowl. Season to taste with sea salt and fresh-ground pepper. Refrigerate.
Step Two
For the mayo, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin. In a food processor, whir the egg, yolk, an ounce of chopped black truffle, a pinch of sea salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice for 30 seconds. With the motor running, add 2-1/2 cups of grapeseed oil in a slow trickle until the mixture thickens (it should take about a minute). Add another good squeeze of lemon, and season with salt, pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper. If the mayonnaise seems too stiff, add water until you achieve a thinner consistency. Fork in the crème fraîche, followed by the black truffle oil.
Step Three
To assemble, scantily dress the lobster meat with the mayonnaise, then pile the meat mixture into a grilled, buttered, split brioche bun. (For an optional flourish, mix 1/4 cup julienned celery root and a tablespoon of chopped chives, season with sea salt, fresh-ground pepper, and a tablespoon of lemon juice, and load that into the bun as well.)
Step Four
Garnish with chopped chives and serve with chosen accompaniment. Lever House pairs theirs alongside fries showered with salt and Old Bay seasoning, but a bag of potato chips won't complain about dating out of its league. Try not to eat it all in one bite.

|Epzicom/Sustiva good combo to prevent fat loss?
Jun 13, 2006
I have been on Epzicom and Sustiva for a year and a half. I have noticed the lines around my mouth have sunken a bit. Is this a good combo to prevent extreme fat loss? Thanks.
Response from Dr. Henry
Your current regimen generally compares favorably to other regimens in the category of preserving fat distribution (translation= one of the regimens that seems to have less problems with fat loss than many others than have been used in the past). KH

August 31, 2018, 1:13 amRyan Anderson - F - Phoenix Suns
The Suns will use the newly-acquired Ryan Anderson as their starting power forward, per Adrian Wojnarowski.
That would be generally unwise. An Anderson-Deandre Ayton frontcourt pairing might as well be a swinging gate for opposing offenses while the Suns have plenty of other better options to soak up minutes at power forward — Trevor Ariza, T.J. Warren, Josh Jackson and Mikal Bridges chief among them. If Anderson does indeed start, he'd need minutes in the high twenties to do more than pump out 3-point specialist numbers. We're skeptical that he lasts long in the role, and the Suns may still have another transaction coming to help clear the deck a bit. This news does give Ryno a glimmer of hope in fantasy formats but we're still shying away in 12-team leagues.

Joel Embiid (left knee soreness) wouldn't commit to playing in Game 5 vs. the Nets on Tuesday.
Embiid said that "We've got to keep them guessing" and it's highly likely he doesn't even know whether or not he's going to play yet. He's been a true game-time decision for the entire series and that's not going to change so stay tuned for updates closer to tip off.

Ed Davis (ankle) is considered to be questionable going into Tuesday's Game 5 vs. the 76ers.
Davis was a big part in the Nets' Game 1 win and his rebounding could serve to help Brooklyn out a ton. They just look outmatched by Joel Embiid and Boban Marjanovic and Davis could provide another big man presence down low. This could be the last game of the series so Davis' status should be a big story coming into the game.

April 22, 2019, 11:52 amJeff Green - F - Washington Wizards
Jeff Green expressed that he would like to return and play for the Wizards during the 2019-2020 season.
"I would love to come back," Green said. "Great set of guys on this team. I loved playing with Brad [Beal], John [Wall]." Green was very consistent and was on a friendly contract, but the direction in which the organization wants to go remains unclear. Green may need to find a new home given the plethora of depth the Wizards have at the forward position.

April 22, 2019, 12:42 amRussell Westbrook - G - Oklahoma City Thunder
Russell Westbrook went 5-for-21 from the field to finish with 14 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and two treys in Sunday's 98-111 Game 4 loss to the Blazers.
Time and again in this series, it's been evident that Damian Lillard has been playing at a higher level than Westbrook and tonight was a fine example. Lillard was able to shake off his early shooting struggles and come up big in the second half, but Westbrook was still forcing shots and appeared to be on the back foot for most of the game. He's best when he's the one taking it to his opponents. A reactive Westbrook is simply not the star the Thunder need right now, if they want to salvage any hopes of coming back in this first-round series.
April 22, 2019, 12:36 amDennis Schroder - G - Oklahoma City Thunder
Dennis Schroder mirrored his 17-point performance from Friday with another 17-point game in Sunday's loss to the Blazers.
Schroder shot 6-of-12 from the field and added three rebounds, three assists, two 3s and one steal to the box score tonight. Aside from him though, the Thunder's bench was deafeningly quiet. He cannot carry the load of the second unit's scoring output by his lonesome, especially when they're faced up against a team with multiple weapons like the Blazers. For now, the Thunder can only hope he keeps this up and that the other reserves will follow suit.
April 22, 2019, 12:32 amJerami Grant - F - Oklahoma City Thunder
Jerami Grant made just 4-of-10 shots from the field on Sunday to finish with 11 points, nine rebounds, two assists, three triples and two steals in 34 minutes.
Grant's impact on the defensive end has been invaluable to the Thunder in this series and it was nice to see him active on the glass tonight, especially with Steven Adams being relatively quiet on that front with seven boards while adding six points, one assist, one steal and one block. Unfortunately for the Thunder, Portland's forwards, Maurice Harkless and Al-Farouq Aminu outplayed and out-hustled them on both ends of the floor.
April 22, 2019, 12:27 amPaul George - F - Oklahoma City Thunder
Despite being slowed down by turnovers and foul trouble, Paul George still managed to light up the box score in Sunday's loss to the Blazers with 32 points on 8-of-21 shooting, 10 rebounds, six assists, four 3s, one steal and one block.
George has been banged up as early as March and he's been such a trooper, powering through a bothersome shoulder to lead the Thunder in this first-round playoff series. Unfortunately, Damian Lillard and company have been far too much for OKC to handle and George's big nights have come and gone with a lack of ample support to properly contest for the win.
April 22, 2019, 12:23 amMaurice Harkless - F - Trail Blazers
Maurice Harkless had a swell two-way performance in the Blazers' 111-98 Game 4 win over the Thunder on Sunday, posting 15 points on 5-of-13 shooting, adding 10 rebounds, one triple, two steals and three blocks in 34 minutes.
Harkless was mostly a non-factor in fantasy during the regular season due to injuries. He's clearly feeling much better now and is delivering for the Blazers at the right time. If he can keep up posting performances like this, the Blazers could emerge as a dark horse to upset favorites in the west.
April 22, 2019, 12:18 amAl-Farouq Aminu - F - Trail Blazers
Al-Farouq Aminu was feeling it on Sunday, hitting 4-of-9 shots from downtown to help secure a Game 4 win over the Thunder via his 19 points (7-of-16 shooting), nine rebounds, one steal and one block.
The Blazers found an extra kick from Aminu tonight thanks to his hot hand. He's capable of explosions like this from time to time but they're not very consistent, making him a tough player to bank on in playoff DFS. Enes Kanter was relatively quiet as he put up eight points, 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block.
April 22, 2019, 12:15 amCJ McCollum - G - Trail Blazers
CJ McCollum kept his foot on the gas pedal on Sunday, raining down five 3s on the Thunder en route to his team-high 27 points on 10-of-20 shooting, while adding four rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks.
McCollum is heating up at just the right time for the Blazers and he picked up some of the slack while Damian Lillard was struggling early in the first half. When he and multiple Blazers are able to put up full lines like this, Portland becomes a devastating opponent, even if the opposing team has name-brand superstars in the form of Russell Westbrook and Paul George.

Graduate Program in Biology Policy
The Master of Science program in the Department of Biology is based on thesis research. Students complete course work that extends their breadth of knowledge in biology and the concepts and techniques of their chosen discipline. They also conduct original research under the direction of a member of the faculty, and write up their findings as a Master's Thesis. Typically, students take two to three years to complete their graduate degree requirements.
Graduate students in the Department of Biology are supported through a variety of sources. The Department has approximately 30 teaching assistantships available each semester and these positions are filled one semester in advance (contact the Graduate Coordinator for details). In addition, students may receive research assistantships through individual faculty members and their research grants. The University offers a limited number of tuition fee waivers for qualified teaching assistants. Students can also obtain academic scholarships as well as financial aid (usually in the form of low-interest loans). The Department of Biology encourages current and prospective students to apply for external scholarships, fellowships and grants ).
Graduates of this program find themselves with an enhanced understanding of biology and first-hand experience in the practice of science. Many of our graduates move on to doctoral programs and careers in teaching and research. Others pursue careers in environmental consulting, resource management, industry, and various health professions.
Application and Admission to the Program
Students are strongly encouraged to review the information on research interests of faculty members contained in the departmental brochure or in their web pages and should contact them prior to submitting an application. Acceptance into the graduate program is contingent on an invitation to join a graduate faculty member's laboratory.
A graduate application package consists of the following: A) the originals for items 1-3 below submitted to SSU's Admissions and Records Office, and B) photocopies of items 1-3 and originals of items 4 and 5 below must be submitted to the Department of Biology (Graduate Coordinator):
- A completed University application (obtain from Admissions and Records Office).
- Official copies of all undergraduate transcripts.
- A 1-2 page Statement of Purpose essay detailing the student's background in biology, objectives for graduate school, career goals, and identification of the proposed faculty advisor.
- Two letters of recommendation from individuals who are familiar with the student's background in biology and ability to work independently, or who are able to comment on their potential for conducting original scientific research.
- Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores for the General test (Biology Subject scores are recommended).
A complete application package must be received by the Graduate Coordinator (items 1-5) before an applicant will be considered for admission to the Biology Graduate Program.
Admission to the program requires:
- Meeting California State University admission requirements.
- Acceptance by a biology graduate faculty member to serve as a faculty advisor.
- Approval of the Graduate Committee.
Applications will be reviewed for evidence that the prospective student is capable of initiating and performing original scientific research. As a general guideline, the Department uses the following criteria to determine this potential:
- An undergraduate degree in biology or equivalent, including:
- One course in calculus or statistics;
- One year of general chemistry and one semester of organic chemistry;
- At least one other course in physical sciences;
- Upper division coursework demonstrating competence in three of four core areas (organismal biology; physiology; molecular or cellular biology; ecology or evolutionary biology).
- A GPA of 3.0 or higher in the last 60 units.
- A score at or above the 50th percentile on each section of the General Examination of the GRE.
- Evidence in the statement of purpose and letters of recommendation of potential for conducting independent and original research in biology.
Application deadlines are January 31 for the Fall semester and October 31 for the Spring semester. The SSU Admissions and Records Office will notify students about the status of their applications. Notice of acceptance typically occurs one month following application deadlines.
Students will be admitted into Classified Graduate Standing. Applicants deficient in undergraduate course preparation must demonstrate competency before being advanced to candidacy.
Prospective transfer students in other SSU Masters programs must meet the requirements of incoming Biology Masters students.
Advisory Committee
During the first semester in attendance, the student will consult with their faculty advisor who will be their principle guide in planning research and academic activities. By the end of the first semester, the student and faculty advisor must identify two other people to serve on the student's Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee consists of the advisor (chair of committee) and at least two other members. A minimum of two members of the Advisory Committee must be members of the Department of Biology's Graduate Faculty. At least one member of the committee must be a tenured/tenure-track faculty member in Biology. The third member of the Advisory Committee may be from another institution or agency, subject to approval of the Graduate Committee. Within the first year, the student may change their faculty advisor in consultation and agreement with the new advisor, and approval of the Graduate Committee.
The student meets with the Advisory Committee by the end of the first semester to complete the MS Coursework and Timeline Form listing the Committee approved courses that the student intends to apply to the degree, timeline for advancement to candidacy and completion of degree. This form is submitted to the Graduate Coordinator for approval by the Graduate Committee. Without filing additional forms, students can make changes in their course work if changes meet the approval of their Advisory Committee.
Course Work
From the time of initial enrollment until awarding the graduate degree, students must have enrolled in at least 30 units of committee-approved course work (maintaining a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0). The allocations of these units must be as follows:
- A minimum of 18 units must be in Biology.
- A minimum of 15 units must be at the 500-level, and must include:
- a maximum of 6 units in BIOL 595 (Special Studies) may be applied toward the MS degree requirements.
- a minimum of 3 graduate-level seminar courses (at least 6 units).
- a maximum of 6 units in BIOL 599 (M.S. Thesis) may be applied toward the MS degree requirements. Students must have advanced to candidacy to enroll in these units. Students will be given an "SP" grade ("satisfactory progress") until the final approval of the thesis. If work is not completed within four semesters, including the semester of their enrollment, students will be required to re-enroll in this course.
3. Up to 4 units of BIOL 598 (Graduate Practicum). Students involved in the development or delivery of instructional materials (for courses that they are not being paid as a Teaching Associate) are encouraged to complete 2 units of BIOL 598.
4. Students are encouraged to attend Biology Colloquium regularly, and can apply 2 units of BIOL 590 to their 30 unit total.
5. A maximum of 9 units of extension, transfer credit or credits taken in the last semester of a student's senior year may be applied to the M.S. degree. See the University catalog or consult Admissions and Records for details
Teaching Associateships
All graduate students, including those supported by extramural sources of funding, are required to participate as a paid Teaching Associate in the Department of Biology in a minimum of 2 laboratory sections.To be eligible for a University Fee Waiver graduate students must be a paid Teaching Associate for a full academic year (i.e., at least one lab in both the Fall and Spring semesters).
Advancement to Candidacy
To advance to candidacy, students must:
- Demonstrate competency in the breadth of biology. This can be met by
- Course work reported on transcripts as described in the admissions criteria.
- Equivalency to the above courses as determined by the Graduate Committee.
- Complete or have in progress a minimum of 12 units of advisory committee approved course work (as outlined on the MS Coursework and Timeline Form).
- Demonstrate proficiency in written English. This may be met by:
- Possessing a bachelor's degree from a CSU institution, or
- Obtaining a score of at least 4.5 in the analytical writing portion of the GRE general test, or
- Passing the campus Written English Proficiency Examination (WEPT) (obtain details from the SSU Writing Center Office).
- Pass a two-hour Oral Qualifying Examination. This examination is administered by the student's Advisory Committee and a fourth member selected by the Graduate Coordinator from the biology faculty. For full-time students, this examination should be completed no later than the end of their second semester. During the examination, students must demonstrate that they are able to articulate the purpose of their proposed research project, the hypothesis(es) they are testing, and are competent to complete the work. Competency includes knowledge in the areas appropriate to the work proposed. Students are also required to demonstrate an ability to integrate general principles of biology with their proposed work. Procedures for the oral qualifying examination are as follows:
- Request that the Graduate Coordinator appoint a fourth member to the Qualifying Examination Committee.
- At least two weeks prior to the pre-examination meeting (see below), circulate a preliminary research proposal to all Qualifying Examination Committee members. This proposal outlines the student's proposed thesis research (minimum 5 pages in length) and is developed in close consultation with the student's thesis advisor
- Meet with the Qualifying Examination Committee for the pre-examination meeting. In this meeting the committee will discuss the format of the examination, appropriate student preparation and schedule the date and time for the examination.
- Complete the Qualifying Examination. Each student's performance is evaluated as a pass/no pass based on consensus of the Examination Committee.
- A "pass" may be conditional upon additional course work, or independent study determined by the Examination Committee. This course work or independent study is added to the earlier draft of the MS Coursework and Timeline Form and given to the Graduate Coordinator.
- If a student passes the Qualifying Examination, members of their committee sign the Advancement to Candidacy Form (GS01), and the student submits this form to the Graduate Coordinator, who submits this form to the Graduate Studies Office for final approval.
- If a student does not pass the Qualifying Examination, their committee will decide if this result is final or if the student will be offered a second attempt. In the latter case, the student may take the examination one more time with the same or a different thesis proposal and committee. The fourth member of the examination committee will remain the same unless this person has become a member of the student's new thesis committee, in which case a new fourth member will be appointed.
Completion of Degree
After advancing to candidacy, students must complete the following tasks to meet their graduate degree requirements:
- Approximately 1 semester before graduation (see dates to Apply for Graduation) submit the Application for Award of Degree Form to the Office of Admissions and Records (available from that office).
- Prepare a thesis for defense. A complete draft of the written thesis, approved by the Advisory Committee Chair, must be presented to the Advisory Committee prior to scheduling the thesis defense. Students may schedule their defense once the Advisory Committee has signed off on the thesis as 'ready to defend'. Thesis design format (manuscript or traditional) is to be agreed upon by the student and Advisory Committee (but must conform to SSU thesis format).
- Publicly present thesis research as the "Thesis Defense." Steps for the thesis defense are:
- Students present results of their research in a public forum such as the Biology Colloquium and notify the Graduate Coordinator at least one week in advance of the upcoming defense by submitting the title, date, time, and meeting room for the defense. The graduate Coordinator will then notify the Department. The presentation should not exceed 45 minutes and students should be prepared to address questions and comments. All three members of the committee must be present at this seminar.
- Immediately after the defense presentation, the student and their committee meet to further discuss, evaluate and comment on the thesis. At the end of this meeting, the student is excused and the committee decides on the acceptability of the thesis. The Committee may require the student to revise the thesis. Once accepted, step 4 (below) must be completed and the thesis will be signed for final submission to the Graduate Studies Office.
- Submit a final copy of the thesis abstract to the Graduate Coordinator.
- Submit the signed copy of the thesis to the Graduate Studies Office for final review, accompanied by the signed Completion of Requirements Form (GSO2). The details of editorial format and procedures for submitting work to SSU's Graduate Studies Office are contained in "Guidelines for Master's Theses and Projects".
Continuous Enrollment
Continuous enrollment is expected of all graduate students during their entire degree program. If students have completed their course work and do not register for thesis units, they must enroll in BIOL 578 through Extended Education. This involves a fee and requires written permission from the Graduate Coordinator.
Leave of Absence
An approved leave of absence from the Graduate Program may be granted in cases of extenuating circumstances. The student must submit a written request to the Graduate Committee for approval, followed by submission to the Graduate Studies Office for final approval. Approved leaves of absence will be granted for one semester.
Progress Report
By the end of their 5th semester students are expected to provide to their Advisory Committee a completed draft of the thesis (see Section 6.2), or a progress report (PDF) (MSWORD). The critical section of the progress report is a time line indicating the work to be completed in the upcoming (terminal) year. A copy of the Advisory Committee-approved progress report must be submitted to the Graduate Coordinator by the student.
Policy for Adjunct Faculty Advisors
Tenure-track faculty in other departments at SSU are eligible to chair Advisory Committees for the Masters degree program in the Department of Biology, provided they have been granted adjunct faculty status in the Department of Biology. Adjunct faculty are expected to provide office space and research support for students they advise.

LEXINGTON, Va. - The top five hitters in the lineup went 10 for 21 with 10 RBIs as No. 26 VMI defeated No. 1 Virginia, 12-3, in front of a record crowd of 1,463 fans at Gray-Minor Stadium Wednesday night. The win is VMI's first-ever over a top-ranked opponent and improves the Keydets to 29-5 on the season. The Cavaliers fall to 27-8 with the loss, the team's first mid-week setback in 10 games this season.
In a showdown pitting two nationally-ranked teams for the first-time ever at VMI, the Keydets responded each time that Virginia cracked the scoreboard. The Cavs jumped on top with a run in the first, but VMI answered with three in the bottom of the inning to take the lead for good. Virginia cut the deficit to 3-2 in the fourth, but VMI posted two in the bottom-half to maintain the advantage. In the sixth, a John Barr home run capped the visitors' scoring, before VMI sent 10 men to the plate in a six-run sixth to put the game out of reach.
"I was really impressed with the atmosphere tonight," said VMI head coach Marlin Ikenberry. "The community of Lexington, the Corps, our parents and our fans that were out here supporting us made a big difference tonight. I didn't realize how big of a crowd it was until after the first inning, when we put a three-spot, and ran off the field. With two nationally-ranked teams playing each other in the mid-week, it was really a nice atmosphere to play in."
Keydet sophomore Jeremy Brown allowed two runs in 3.1 innings, making his second start of the season. He gave way to Chris Duty (2-0), who improved to 12-3 in his career by working three innings, allowing a single run. Jason Farley retired each of the five batters he faced, before freshman John Garrett worked a 1-2-3 ninth to preserve VMI's ninth-straight win.
"I was proud of Jeremy Brown settling down after loading the bases with no outs," said Ikenberry. "He made a great pitch, then made a great play to start a 1-2-3 double play. He really was able to settle in after that and put up a couple of important zeroes for us. Chris Duty did an exceptional job in the middle innings and Jason (Farley) came in with some guys on and got a pop-up and a punch-out to keep us out of trouble. John Garrett worked a scoreless ninth, which was good to see out of our bullpen."
Sam Roberts led an offensive attack that battered the Cavaliers' pitching staff for the most runs it had allowed all season. From the leadoff spot, Roberts went 2 for 3 with four RBIs, thanks to a two-run home in the fourth and a two-run single in the sixth. Jordan Ballard drove in three, while Graham Sullivan and Tanner Biagini each had a pair of knocks, including an RBI double in the sixth.
"The top of our lineup did some damage tonight," said Ikenberry. "We had some nice at bats in the first inning to get ourselves a 3-1 lead. It was good to come out that aggressive early against a team like that. I was really proud of the way we swung the bats today. This was the best pitching staff that we have faced, and I thought we did a nice job of seeing pitches. And we hit their mistakes, which we traditionally haven't done in the past."
Cavalier starter Whit Mayberry (1-2) took the loss, allowing five runs, four earned, on six hits through 3.2 innings. He was the first of six hurlers to see the mound for the visitors, with each of the first four allowing runs. Phil Gosselin and Barr were the only Virginia players with multiple hits or an extra-base hit, as Gosselin led off the game with a double and Barr slugged his first career home run in the sixth.
Brown cut short what appeared to be a promising Virginia rally in the first, as the right-hander induced a double play then got a strikeout to end the threat after plunking Steven Proscia with the bases loaded to force in a run. VMI used that momentum to take the lead in the bottom-half, as Ballard drove home Roberts and Cory Spangenberg with a single up the middle before scoring on a fielding error at third base three batters later.
With a 3-1 advantage, Brown settled in to allow just a single base runner in both the second and third innings. The scoring opened back up in the fourth, as Barr plated Jarrett Hicks with a one-out single. A walk to Gosselin loaded the bases and chased Brown from the game. Duty entered with one out and struck out #2 hitter Tyler Cannon and #3 hitter Stephen Bruno, preserving VMI's 3-2 lead.
VMI got that run back in the bottom half, when Roberts hit his eighth home run of the season, a two-run shot that spelled the end of the night for Mayberry. Justin Thompson entered and retired the next four batters, keeping the margin at 5-2 into the sixth.
Barr's home run with two outs in the sixth proved to be Virginia's final score of the night. VMI once again answered in the home half, scoring six runs, the most allowed in a single inning by the Cavaliers since the opening weekend of the season. In the rally, each of the top five hitters in the lineup had RBIs, including a two-run single by Roberts, an infield single by Spangenberg, a sacrifice fly by Ballard and back-to-back doubles by Sullivan and Biagini. A leadoff home run by Rob Dickinson in the seventh capped the night's scoring.
VMI opens a Big South Conference series Friday evening, taking on Liberty at 7 p.m. in Lynchburg. Each of the three games will be broadcast on Lexington's Fox Sports Radio 1450 AM and online at www.VMIKeydets.com.
Keydet Quick Hits
- Wednesday's contest was the first time Virginia has played at Gray-Minor Stadium since falling, 5-2, to VMI on April 3, 2007. That game held program record's as the highest-ranked team the program had defeated (#3) and the largest crowd in facility history (1,265) until both marks were broken with Wednesday's win.
- VMI has now hit a home run in 29 of its 34 games this season.
- The loss was Virginia's worst setback since falling 10-0 to Miami on April 27, 2008.
- The Keydets are 23-1 when allowing five runs or less this season and 23-2 when scoring at least six runs.
- VMI's 29 wins in 2010 are tied for the third-most in program history.
- VMI and Coastal Carolina are tied for the national lead in wins with 29.

Most of the pollen will filter out when you run the honey through a strainer. However, pollen is a natural part of beekeeping and it's pretty normal to have bits of pollen in your raw honey. It's a good thing, really!
All pollen can be harmful to the right person when consumed. It is always best when consuming pollen to start out at very small amounts at first and then slowly increase as you go. Of course. I am talking about straight pollen.
With only a bottom entrance, they are more likely to store it in the bottom with the brood and not haul it all the way up to the honey supers. Queen excluders also help eliminate pollen in the honey supers by making it difficult for them to move the pollen through.

Don't Buy Long-Term-Care Insurance. Self-Fund It.
Should healthy, younger individuals consider long-term care insurance?
MANISHA THAKOR: If you are in your 20s and 30s you have something very powerful on your side--time.
Long-term-care insurance is still a fairly new product. We don't have a lot of history of claims payments yet (the way we do with auto or home insurance) to know whether policies are priced right.
If you are older (and thus expected time horizon for needing such insurance shorter) it can make sense.
If you are younger, you have another option. You can self insure. By taking the money you would have put in long-term-care premiums and investing them in a low cost 60/40 balanced index fund such as the one offered by Vanguard Group, you can create your own pool of fund to draw on down the road if need be--and avoid the dreaded "claim denied" scenario.
This approach requires discipline, but until this product is more mature and we have meaningful data on claims paid history, self insurance is a concept I've been giving more thought to for younger folks.

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here

The markets started the holiday-shortened trading week off to the downside as worries swirled over stalled U.S. budget talks.
Today's Markets
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 51.8 points, or 0.39%, to 13139, the S&P 500 dipped 3.5 points, or 0.24%, to 1427 and the Nasdaq Composite slumped 8.4 points, or 0.28%, to 3012.
The S&P 500 took its worst fall since mid-November on Friday after an impasse in budget talks in Washington, D.C. ratcheted up the chances the U.S. will go hurtling over the fiscal cliff. Those fears persisted on Monday.
President Barack Obama laid out his own backup plan to avoid some of the impacts of the fiscal cliff after House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner's plan failed the night before. However, many analysts are now expecting a fight to drag into next year, with at least some of the feared tax hikes and spending cuts going into effect.
"Given the president's change in direction it now appears highly unlikely that a comprehensive agreement will be reached before the end of the year," analysts at Nomura wrote in a note to clients this weekend. "It now appears that the most likely outcome is that we will 'go over the cliff,' – that is, there will be no substantive moderation of the fiscal cliff policies before year."
U.S. equity trading closes at 1:00 p.m. ET on the day in advance on the Christmas holiday. As a result of shortened day many trading desks were sparsely staffed. The low volume situation sometimes leads to higher volatility.
The economic calendar was also empty on the day. Later in the week, however, traders will get three closely-watched reports on the housing market and regional manufacturing readings.
Energy futures fell slightly. The benchmark crude oil contract slipped 19 cents, or 0.2%, to $88.47 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline edged lower by 0.56% to $2.719 a gallon. In metals, gold climbed $1.50, or 0.09%, to $1,662 a troy once.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 fell 0.1% to 2648, the English FTSE 100 rose 0.24% to 5954 and the German DAX dipped 0.47% to 7636.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 sold off by 1% to 9940 and the Chinese Hang Seng climbed 0.16% to 22541.
