September is Architecture Month in Memphis, and the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) is spearheading a series of tours, lectures, exhibits and special events that explore historic and contemporary architecture and design in Memphis.
"We always have a very full calendar during Architecture Month, with events for a variety of ages and interest groups," said Heather Koury, executive director of AIA Memphis and its 240 members. "This year we are focusing on health and fitness, so we've incorporated bike tours and guided walking tours."
Architecture Month was founded in 2004, and this year's festivities also help celebrate AIA Memphis' 60th anniversary. All events are designed for the general public.
"We are making our programs accessible financially and getting people out on the streets," Koury said.
The annual AIA Memphis Golf Open was held at Colonial Country Club in Cordova last week.
Next up will be a photography exhibition at ANF Architects on Friday, Sept. 13, followed by a Midtown bike tour sponsored by Haizlip Studio on Sunday, Sept. 15.
The Memphis Camera Club will present "Memphis Architecture: A Walk Through History" at ANF Architects on Union Avenue on Friday. The exhibit was completed under the auspices of Christian Brothers University, which contacted the club in 2010 about doing a historical story of Memphis through photography of iconic buildings throughout the area.
"We utilized many buildings and places that are in the National Register of Historic Places," said Joe Sullivan, exhibition chairman of the Memphis Camera Club. "This exhibit's 60 color photographs were taken by 23 camera club members."
The trip though Memphis history includes shots of the Nineteenth Century Club, Memphis Pink Palace Museum, the Arcade Restaurant, Elmwood Cemetery, Central High School, the cobblestone landing Downtown by the Mississippi River, the Memphis Queen, Rhodes College's Halliburton Tower, the Snowden mansion, the Mid-South Coliseum, the Levitt Shell, the Lorraine Motel, the old air tower (before it was torn down) at Memphis International Airport, the carousel at the Mid-South Fairgrounds, and many others.
On Sunday, the nearly 10-mile Architect's Bike Tour will highlight Midtown landmarks, with design commentary provided by experienced Memphis architects and designers.
This marks the second year that Haizlip Studios will head up the bike tours. Owners Mary and Reb Haizlip are avid cyclists, with Mary just completing the MS 150-mile biking event and Reb just returning from a biking event in Italy.
"The Downtown bike tour was a great hit last year, so we expanded this year to include Midtown," said Mary Haizlip, whose design studio has operated in Midtown since 1997 and specializes in institutional projects such as museums and schools.
The new Midtown bike loop is part of a larger city loop designed by Haizlip that is detailed on AIA Memphis' website, aiamemphis.org. Cyclists can pull up the route on their mobile devices to get details about each tour stop.
"We want to provide the general public with more information on Memphis architecture and its importance to our community," Haizlip said.
The Midtown bike tour will be the first of two Sunday morning bike tours occurring during Architecture Month, with the second happening Downtown on Sept. 29.
All bike tours are limited to 15 people for safety reasons, and they are expected to sell out. Tickets are $15, and those interested are encouraged to sign up as early as possible at the AIA website to secure a spot.
On Sept. 21, a couple of prominent area architects will be serving as walking tour guides, with Keith Kays giving a Downtown building tour and Bill Ferguson of ANF Architects offering a tour of a variety of buildings near Overton Park as well as the park's new playground. Local historian Jimmy Ogle will also be conducting a Court Square tour. The trio plans to offer in-depth analysis of each site.
"Not only will we be looking at the architecture of certain areas, we will also be looking at the history of each place," Koury said.
Other events planned for the month include a two-day architectural photography workshop on Sept. 20-21 for architecture/photography professionals and students at the Art Museum at The University of Memphis, along with assorted special events such as lectures and cocktail receptions.
AIA Memphis is celebrating all month by giving away exclusive weekly prizes in its online building identification challenge, available on social media and the AIA Memphis website.

January 2012
From the Editor. Public profession of faith stands at the center of the church's ministry. The Ordained Servant archives yield three articles on this subject published in 2002 and one in 2005 (see below). Over a year ago Pastor Ken Golden sent me his excellent booklet "The OPC Class," used in preparation for membership in his congregation. Because many pastors have developed similar booklets, and due to its length, it is not suitable for publication in these pages. However, Ken has written a fine article to remind us of the importance of thorough preparation for communicant membership in the visible church: "How Much Catechesis? The Case for a Maximalist Approach to Membership Classes." In light of the general ignorance of the Bible that is characteristic of our times, it behooves us to takes this subject seriously.
For those who may not have public profession booklets available, I have provided PDF versions of Ken's booklet, "The OPC Class" [note: deleted 2015 at the author's request], as well as my own, first written in 1982, first published in electronic form in 1998, and revised several times since: "Making A Good Profession: A Course in Basic Christian Faith and Practice in Preparation for Making Public Profession of Faith." I have also included a booklet, perhaps not as common in our churches, written for covenant youth, generally under the age of sixteen: "Jesus Is My Lord and Savior: Public Profession for Covenant Youth."
After becoming a communicant member of Christ's church, then what? Pastor Joel Beeke ably addresses this question in his article "Marks of a Faithful Church Member." This would make an excellent handout at the conclusion of a membership class.
Wayne Sparkman, my old friend and Westminster Theological Seminary classmate, and director of the PCA Historical Center in St. Louis, provides us with a thorough review of Confident of Better Things: Essays Commemorating Seventy-Five Years of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
Finally, our poet of the month is a little known eighteenth-century American poet, Phillis Wheatley. Born in Boston, she was a slave child of seven or eight and sold to John and Susanna Wheatley in Boston on July 11, 1761. It was not common for American women to be published in those days; but it was especially uncommon for children of slaves to be educated at all. Her gift of writing poetry was encouraged by her owners, who taught Phillis to read and write, with her first poem being published at the age of twelve," On Messrs. Hussey and Coffin." Phillis's popularity as a poet both in the United States and England ultimately brought her freedom from slavery on October 18, 1773. Her sacred verse is a treasure to be enjoyed.
Blessings in the Lamb,
From the Archives "COMMUNICANT CHURCH MEMBERSHIP"
Ordained Servant exists to help encourage, inform, and equip church officers for faithful, effective, and God glorifying ministry in the visible church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Its primary audience is ministers, elders, and deacons of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, as well as interested officers from other Presbyterian and Reformed churches. Through high quality editorials, articles, and book reviews we endeavor to stimulate clear thinking and the consistent practice of historic, confessional Presbyterianism.

BRIDGEPORT, Pa. – Following an eventful weekend that saw MIT defeat Brown University for the first time in almost decade, two members of the MIT men's water polo earned weekly honors as announced by the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) on Tuesday afternoon. Senior Craig Cheney (Sherwood, Ore.) was named the Northern Division Player of the Week and freshman Nolan Kruse (Orcutt, Calif.) was tabbed as the Northern Division Rookie of the Week.
In MIT's 15-13 win over Brown on Saturday, Cheney led the Engineers with his seven goals, two steals, two rebounds, and one ejection drawn. Later that same day, he recorded one goal, one steal, one assist, and one field block in Tech's 14-6 victory over Connecticut College. He is currently second on the team with his 23 goals on the season.
Kruse tended the goal for the entire game against Brown, allowing 13 goals and totaling nine saves, one steal, and one assist in the game. He leads the MIT goalkeepers with 76 saves so far in his first collegiate season.
The Engineers will have their first weekend off since the start of the season a month ago, returning to the pool on Saturday, Oct. 16 when they face fellow Cambridge rival Harvard University at home at 7:30 p.m.

In planning our parents vow renewal/30th wedding anniversary bash we (my sisters & me) knew that after the catering hall one of the most expensive things would be the flowers.
We decided to go with navy blue, turquoise blue and yellow color palette. So we knew we need to incorporate some of those fun shades into the table setting.
We added our color with the menu's and favor boxes and for the centerpieces I not only got to add more blue and yellow, but stripes as well! You all know I love a good stripe so I was thrilled with how they came out.
Getting the flowers were easy. Since we were on a budget I went to a flower wholesaler. Since I have a resale license it was no problem to walk right in and pick out what I wanted. Due to the upcoming holiday weekend there wasn't a lot to pick from, but those mums fit the bill perfectly.
They were neutral, added an element of texture and so full and massive that we knew we would 9 or 10 in piece centerpiece would make an impact! The best part….they were only $1 a stem.
Finding a home for them was exhausting. I thought it would be simple to find a square glass vase on a budget, but it was impossible.
Instead I found these:
Step 2: Wrap around fabric and make a hem with the glue gun. This helps you get a smooth seam and no frayed fabric.
Step 3: Flip box over:
And glue down flaps like you were wrapping a present:
Step 4: Flip it back over and glue down the seams in the top of the box:
Voila you are all done!
I had purchased two different colored fabric so I made bands to wrap around the boxes in the other color.

Dec. 4, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Paced by Jimmy Bartolotta's offense and Hamidou Soumare's defense, MIT men's basketball got back on track with a 71-57 victory over Western New England College on Tuesday in Rockwell Cage. Tied early in the second half, the Engineers powered past the Golden Bears with a 29-6 run to secure their first victory in the series since 1997.
Bartolotta shrugged off a tough performance over the weekend in a loss at Tufts, scoring a game-high 29 points, while adding eight assists, eight rebounds, two steals and two blocks. The junior guard finished 12-of-20 from the floor including 4-of-7 from three-point range.
Soumare was equally efficient after also enduring a sub-par effort against the Jumbos. Dou hauled in a career-high 18 rebounds, including eight on the offensive glass, while finishing 5-of-7 from the field for 12 points. Soumare added two blocks and a pair of steals en route to his fourth double-double of the season.
MIT (6-2) and WNEC (3-4) traded baskets in the first 14 minutes of the game, before three-point field goals by Billy Johnson and Will Mroz gave the Engineers their largest lead of the half at 25-16 with 5:34 remaining in the period.
Jumpers by Conor Lomas and Chris DeVine, along with two three's by Matt Maynard evened the ledger for the Golden Bears heading into the final possession of the frame, but Bartolotta was credited with a tip-in at the buzzer to give the Cardinal and Gray a 35-33 lead at the break.
Maynard tied the score with a jumper to open the second half, after which MIT responded with a five-point run to leap back in front. Ryan Hernandez once again pulled WNEC within two with a three at 16:25. At that point, the game had the feeling of a battle that would stay tight until the end, although five straight points from rookie Daniel McCue and a break-away dunk by Soumare placed the momentum firmly in favor of the Engineers.
A three by DeVine momentarily quieted the crowd, although Bartolotta scored seven consecutive points to spark a 17-0 run that pushed MIT's advantage to 64-41 with 9:43 left in regulation. The Golden Bears stopped the bleeding with a pair of free throws by Brad Thomka, but were unable to close the gap past 18 until the very end of the second half.
DeVine led WNEC with 14 points, eight rebounds and four assists while shooting 6-of-8 from the field. DeVine was the only visiting player to reach double figures, although Kyle Fredette enjoyed a good performance with seven points, eight boards and three blocks. Maynard added eight points and two steals in the loss.
Johnson and McCue each chipped in 10 to also reach double-digits for MIT. McCue's 10-point performance was a career high.
The Engineers owned a 39-30 edge on the glass and out-scored the Golden Bears, 28-14, in the paint. After shooting 46% from the field in the first half, MIT held WNEC to just 33% shooting in the second.

NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans' NBA team will announce a change in the nickname of its team from the Hornets to the Pelicans at a news conference Thursday evening at New Orleans Arena, according to a source close to the situation.
The team's new colors and logo also will be unveiled.
The Hornets' media relations department sent out media invitations Wednesday concerning the press conference, although the reason for it was not disclosed.
"The announcement will be made concerning the name change," the source said, "but they wanted to wait until Thursday."
The team played at the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday and returned late after the game.
Tom Benson, who also owns the New Orleans Saints and purchased the Hornets on April 14, has expressed his desire to change the name to one with more of a connection to this region, and the pelican is the Louisiana state bird. It is also the name of the city's former minor league baseball team.
The team was named the Hornets when it joined the NBA as an expansion team located in Charlotte, N.C., in 1988. The franchise brought the name with it when it relocated to New Orleans in 2002.
The team's new colors are expected to be blue, gold and red, which are favored by Gayle Benson, the owner's wife, and the changes are to go into effect next season.
Benson had registered the name Pelicans along with Krewe and a number of others with the league office, NBA Commissioner David Stern said when he visited the city on Dec. 5 to check the progress of the team's new practice facility, which is located near the Saints' facility on Airline Drive.
Stern said then he had no druthers concerning a name change or if it stayed the same, jokingly asking if there were any lakes in Los Angeles or jazz in Utah.
"If (Benson) wants to change the name, that's fine with me," he said.
Michael Jordan, owner of Charlotte's current NBA team, the Bobcats, has said he is interested in claiming Hornets if Benson changes the name of New Orleans' franchise. Hornets pertains to a military unit's bravery in the Charlotte's history.
The team's players have said it makes no difference to them what the team's nickname is, as long as they are playing in the NBA.
Nickname, logo and color changes often result in large profits for teams who do so.

ROCHESTER — The Housing Partnership, a nonprofit affordable housing development organization based in Portsmouth, is offering a free home-buyer education program in Rochester through its Homeward Bound program. The workshop will be held March 12, 13, 19 and 20 from 6 to 8 p.m. Registrants must register for and attend all workshops.
Hosted by People's United Bank at 110 South Main St., the HUD-approved certificate program will cover the following topics: nine steps to home ownership; building your financial house; understanding mortgage terms and shopping for a mortgage; shopping for a home and home inspections; closing on your home and maintaining your home and finances.
This class provides first time home-buyers with all the information necessary to make informed decisions. One couple who recently attended the course and bought a house said, "This was a confidence builder. We had the tools to select a good realtor, a good mortgage broker, and a good inspector. It made the process of actually buying a house not as frightening as it appeared."
Pre-registration is required and space is limited, so those interested are strongly encouraged to sign up early. There are three ways to register: email: firstname.lastname@example.com; phone: Terry at (603) 766-3120; online at www.housingpartnership.org/The_Housing_Partnership/Homebuyer_Education.html

There are few centre-forwards in todays game who are as deadly as Luis Alberto Suarez Diaz. El Pistolero has left his mark wherever he has played; be it Ajax, Liverpool or FC Barcelona. Switching from Anfield to Camp Nou in the summer of 2014, Suarezs arrival was to herald a new dawn of dominance for La Blaugrana.

Aerial refueling is an invaluable technique, not only extending a jet's operational endurance, it allows for more and heavier equipment to be carried than would otherwise be possible. Since its inception in the biplane era, this technology has developed into what you see here: two F-35C Lightning II jets attached to the business end of a Lockheed Martin KC-130 Hercules. At the same time. That's a first.

Daniel A. Geller, M.D.
It is fascinating that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), once considered a cornerstone in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theory, has evolved into a prototypical neuropsychiatric biological disorder. The efficacy and specificity of serotonergic antidepressants in the treatment of OCD, and evidence of abnormalities in serotonin binding capacity and of decreases in platelet serotonin concentration during clomipramine treatment in pediatric OCD subjects contribute to the hypothesis derived from adult studies that central serotonin pathways are implicated in the pathophysiology of this disorder. Neuroimaging including functional neuroimaging studies have also implicated the basal ganglia, caudate nucleus and frontal cortex in the genesis of OCD symptoms. In addition, clinical and family studies provide strong evidence for a genetic etiology in at least some patients with OCD. The available family studies have found OCD to be a highly familial disorder in children and adolescents.
It is also fascinating to note that once considered relatively rare, OCD is now believed to be one of the most common of all psychiatric disorders affecting both children and adults. Since the observation was first made in Europe that the drug clomipramine, long ignored in the USA, seemed to have anti obsessional properties, new drug treatments for OCD have continued to emerge, and the disorder has been increasingly recognized by mental health professionals. Thus, the availability of new and effective medications combined with the shift in thinking about the etiology and pathophysiology of OCD has led to a radical change in the way that the disorder is treated at the turn of the century when compared to the treatment that Freud's famous "Rat Man" case implied at the turn of the last century.
Treatment approaches include both medication and non medication treatments (see the last paragraph). Drug studies in pediatric subjects have all found serotonergic medications to be effective in both the short term and medium term treatment of children and adolescents with OCD. Although most studies were acute treatment trials lasting no longer than 10 weeks, several longer term studies (>12 months) found efficacy maintained over time. Prospective controlled trials with both placebo and non serotonergic drugs also indicated specificity of response for the serotonergic reuptake inhibitors (SRIs). Four studies evaluated clomipramine (a non selective SRI), five fluoxetine, two fluvoxamine and one sertraline (selective SRIs or SSRIs) with reported response rates ranging from 50% to 75% and amount of symptom abatement ranging from 25% to 57% using the Children's version of the Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (CY BOCS). In addition, both preadolescent and adolescent OCD subjects respond equally well to treatment with similar reductions in symptoms.
These studies document that the need for aggressive dosing in pediatric OCD is shared with the adult disorder. For example, clomipramine at 3 5 mg/kg/day was used in the NIMH cohort. In a retrospective series of children and adolescents treated for OCD with fluoxetine, doses averaged 1.0 mg/kg/day or 35 mg/day in children (< 12 years) and 64 mg/day in adolescents (> 12 years). Dosing for sertraline and fluvoxamine are somewhat higher at 1 3 mg/kg/day. Industry sponsored trials of both sertraline and fluvoxamine used flexible dose regimes of 50 to 200 mg/day in children. The mean dose of sertraline was 178 mg/day across all subjects indicating that both robust dosing was needed and that the medication was well tolerated. Pretreatment CY BOCS scores fell from 23 to a post treatment score of 17, a fairly typical reduction on this instrument. Dosing requirements for fluvoxamine were similar and both agents are generally well tolerated. At the end of 1999, only sertraline and fluvoxamine have FDA labeling for the treatment of pediatric OCD. Furthermore, the safety of sertraline has been established by an independent review of multi center EKG data collected serially over the active treatment phase.
Although paroxetine in pediatric OCD is now being systematically studied in placebo controlled trials, clear guidelines for dosing in this age group («16 years) are not yet available. The first such trial (1998) used flexible doses of paroxetine of 10 60 mg/day and the current trial 10 50 mg/day so that 0.5 1.0 mg/kg/day appears to be equivalent to the other SSRI dose ranges noted above. An industry sponsored placebo controlled double blind trial of fluoxetine has just been completed in children and adolescents and analyses are awaited but are expected to confirm clinical findings of efficacy and safety so that FDA labeling is expected for both fluoxetine as well as paroxetine in the next couple of years.
Pharmacokinetic data is more limited in this age group since these studies are more difficult to undertake in children, due to the need for frequent blood sampling. Three of the SSRIs have been investigated in this way; sertraline, paroxetine and fluoxetine. Each shows pharmacokinetic profiles consistent with that seen in adults although the half life tends to be slightly shorter in younger subjects due to more rapid metabolism and a higher relative hepatic blood flow. This increased clearance is not clinically significant and does not alter the dosing schedules, i.e. fluoxetine and sertraline are still administered once a day and fluvoxamine twice a day when doses are above 100/mg day total.
Placebo responses in studies range from 10% to 27%. The recently completed industry-sponsored controlled trial of fluvoxamine in 120 juvenile subjects showed similar efficacy but a higher placebo response rate than other studies. A paroxetine placebo controlled withdrawal trial also showed a high placebo response rate that did not discriminate from the active treatment group. Although no predictors of response were statistically significant, Leonard et al. found that younger age at discontinuation of serotonergic medication predicted later relapse. Serum levels do not correlate with clinical response.
In the most comprehensive study to date of clominapramine in pediatric OCD, adverse effects were common and included anticholinergic symptoms (e.g. dry mouth), 63%; tremor, 33%; dizziness, 41%; and sedation, 46%, making it difficult to tolerate for some patients even in the context of a robust clinical response. Adverse effects are also common although generally better tolerated in youth treated with the SSRIs. For example, reported adverse effects for fluoxetine included insomnia, 16%; somnolence, 11%; weight change and appetite disturbance, 8%; dry mouth and headache, 5%; and myoclonus, increased tics, bruising, and nervousness, 3%. One of the most common adverse effects with fluoxetine and other SSRIs (as well as clomipramine) is behavioral activation/ agitation which may occur in up to a quarter of treated subjects and may be sever enough to warrant a diagnosis of organically induced mania or hypomania. Whether children with this adverse effect are predisposed to the development of bipolar disorder, which is then unmasked by the SSRI, remains unknown.
To date, controlled trials of augmentation in treatment-resistant adult OCD have shown only haloperidol (inpatients with a chronic tic disorder or possibly psychotic symptoms) and clonazepam to be helpful. One case study suggests that clonazepam may also be a useful adjunct in the treatment of pediatric cases. Although the addition of neuroleptics has not been systematically studied in children, such a trial may be indicated in those patients with comorbid Tourette's Disorder (TD) or psychotic symptoms. The newer so called atypical neuroleptics such as risperidone, olanzepine and quetiapine have not been systematically studied in children and adolescents for the treatment of any disorder at this time though evidence is mounting that they are effective mood stabilizers. There are open label reports that these agents may be useful as augmentation treatment for adults with OCD who have concurrent tic disorders or more schizotypal presentations. However, these drugs are not at all selective and include among their actions antagonist activity at the 5HT2 site, which is post synaptic. Theory predicts that this action could exacerbate obsessional symptoms and this has been reported clinically in some cases so that caution is needed in using the atypical neuroleptics for the treatment of children and adolescents with OCD, despite their attractiveness due to fewer serious adverse effects. They may still be indicated in cases with comorbid Tourette's syndrome and significant mood instability and of course in psychotic symptoms.
A more common and perhaps safer combine pharmacotherapeutic approach for the CCD juvenile with a chronic tic disorder or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is clomipramine plus an SSRI. While attention to blood levels is mandatory due to hepatic inhibition of clomipramine by certain SSRIs and consequent increased blood levels, this combination may be extremely useful in certain patients. In addition, because the secondary amine tricyclic antidepressants have recently been demonstrated to be useful in both tic disorders and ADHD, the noradrenergic tricyclic metabolite of clomipramine (desmethylclomipramine) may have a unique role in the treatment of these comorbid patients.
The use of clomipramine mandates a thoughtful evaluation of the pediatric patient's general medical condition, and cardiac status in particular. Baseline evaluation should include a systems review and questions about personal or family history of heart disease. If in doubt, a general pediatric examination including auscultation of the heart and measurement of pulse and blood pressure is indicated. A history of nonfebrile seizures should also be noted but is not an absolute contraindication to clomipramine. A baseline (i.e., pretreatment) electrocardiogram (EKG) should be requested. Indices of interest are heart rate and rhythm, and cardiac cycle intervals such as PR, QRS and QTc. Since all tricyclics are Type I antiarrhythmic agents they may slow electrical conduction in the heart. While statistically significant changes in conduction intervals and heart rate may occur, these are rarely of clinical significance. However, in view of the current debate in pediatric psychopharmacology circles regarding the safety of desipramine, the prudent practitioner will evaluate and document these cardiac parameters. These issues have been reviewed by Biederman and FDA guidelines. They have identified unacceptable electrocardiographic indices for not using, or not increasing, clomipramine which are: 1) PR interval >200 ms; 2) QRS interval >30% increased over baseline or >120 ms; 3) blood pressure >140 systolic or 90 diastolic; and 4) heart rate >130 bpm at rest. Finally a prolonged QTc (corrected QT interval, 450 ms) is associated with increased risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and is relative contraindication for clomipramine use (or further increase). Despite these concerns, clomipramine remains an important drug in the armamentarium of antiobsessional medications.
In summary, the treatment of CCD has changed dramatically over the last twenty years. The younger the child the more one would first attempt a non pharmacological treatment such as cognitive-behavioral treatment and such is the recommendation of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in its "Expert Guidelines for the Treatment of OCD." However, the ability of children to tolerate this form of treatment varies and depends on the presence of other disorders (disruptive behavior disorder or depression), degree of insight, and the intactness of the family unit. At this time the outlook is very positive for the great majority of children with this disorder.

DailyDirt: Hacking The Brain... Not Into Bits
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Studying people's brains could someday lead to understanding how our minds work. But so far, we're still a long way away from figuring out what makes our brains tick. Here are just a few more interesting links on the topic of brain research.
- Brain imaging techniques could be used to create more effective psychological treatments -- without drugs. Apparently, social anxiety can be significantly reduced with meditation and MRI scans, and the combination produces measurable changes in brain activity. [url]
- Competitive Scrabble players seem to have better visual recognition of words -- duh! A study of expert Scrabble players versus a couple dozen non-experts demonstrates that people can train their brains to develop impressive visual word recognition skills, even as adults. [url]

Got the good fortune to take a brief stroll through Dusseldorf, Germany, earlier this week – the capital city of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, center of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region, and home to some 1.5 million souls; making it the 7thlargest city in Germany.
Being a history buff, it didn't take much for me to start hunting down ancient churches and the like – something that's easy to do in a city that dates its origins back to 1135.
Yet at the same time one couldn't help but be struck by just how many trucks of all shapes and sizes roared about Dusseldorf performing any number of tasks critical to keeping this bustling urban center up and running.
[You can view a photo gallery of some of them by clicking here.]
Indeed, despite the many references in speeches on this side of the pond about how rail service forms the transportation "heart" of Europe, one can't help but notice all the many trucks zooming about – everything from tractor-trailers and buses on down to compact works vans.
It just goes to show that no matter how much we discuss the wonders of rail, boats, and planes, it's always the tried-and-true truck that's deployed to ensure goods get delivered and all kinds of other work gets done.
Put simply: trucks are just a fact of modern-day life and need to be appreciated as such.

NAPOLEONVILLE, LA (WAFB) - Work at the site of a giant sink hole in southeast Louisiana has once again come to a halt. This time the stoppage was caused by tremors in the area. This is not good news for residents near the sink hole.
It could be months before Bayou Corne residents who were evacuated last month are allowed to return home.
The mini earthquakes that came ahead of the sink hole in Assumption Parish are back.
Brant Smart is packing up his Jeep for an outdoor cookout at his camp in Mississippi, only he is not making a weekend trip to the woods. The Smarts have been living there since August 3.
"Basically a guy drove by in a truck and told us we had to evacuate," Smart said.
Around 150 homes in the Bayou Corne neighborhood were evacuated after a giant sinkhole opened up on the nearby Texas-Brine property. The Smarts have been camping out since.
"Now we're staying in my fifth wheel for the camp, us, our 15 year old and 2 dogs," Smart said.
Meanwhile, back at the sinkhole site, scientists have made another discovery that could keep residents out of their homes for an undetermined amount of time.
"They got down to 90 feet and experienced gas in the water aquifer and were unable to set water well due to the pressure. We put cement, plug, and got off the site and regrouped to come up with another strategy to set a vent well," John Boudreaux explained.
Boudreaux, director for the Assumption Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness, said workers must replace the rig they have been working from with one that will allow them to vent the gas from the well.
They still do not know where the gas is coming from. Boudreaux said residents will not be allowed to return home until the gas is under control.
If history repeats itself, that could mean sometime next year.
"Back in 2003/2004, a similar process was done here on the Napoleonville Dome and it did take several months," Boudreaux recalled.
The Smarts plan to build a new home in Mississippi. But they can't sell their home in Bayou Corne until Texas-Brine gives them the all clear.
The new well is expected to be assembled and operational by the weekend.
Bayou Corne residents in Assumption Parish will hold an emergency Town Hall meeting Thursday, September 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the St Joseph the Worker Church Hall on the emergency situation status regarding the large sinkhole and unexplained natural gas venting.
The residents have called the meeting out of an abundance of concern and caution for the lack of real-time information from the Assumption Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP), Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and Texas Brine Co., the company in charge of the suspect cavern inside the Napoleonville Salt Dome.

Ian MacDougall etched himself into the record books Saturday and the Wabash defense dominated in a 66-0 victory over Hiram.
MacDougall kicked his 118th extra point, surpassing the 117 record mark shared by Spencer Whitehead '11 and Joe Bevelhimer '86. The Little Giants (8-0, 7-0 NCAC) held the Terriers (2-6, 1-6 NCAC) to 58 yards in the shutout. The win sets up the near-annual Wittenberg showdown for a conference championship and shot at the playoffs next Saturday at Little Giant Stadium.
"I thought we got great effort out of our guys, particularly that first half," Coach Erik Raeburn said. "I couldn't imagine it going any better."
Anthony Stella started the scoring with a three-yard-touchdown run on Wabash's first drive. The following possession, Michael Putko found Houston Hodges open in the middle of the end zone, 14-0.
The defense joined the scoring party on the next two series. Hodges followed his offensive touchdown with a 30-yard interception return. Justin Woods registered a 38-yard pick six on the next series, 28-0.
"We wanted to come out here and make a statement," Hodges said. "We wanted to make sure we establish our run and that's what we did on the first drive. That was a big thing for us."
After two more scores and a MacDougall field goal, Woods took his second interception gave him another score and the Little Giants led at the half, 45-0. MacDougall made the record-setting kick on the last first-half score.
"It's not really a measurement of me," MacDougall explained. "It's a measurement of how good our offense and our defense has been. (Alex) Hirsch has been doing a great job snapping and Cam (Sobleski) holding. It's pretty much a product of everybody."
The senior kicker has converted 41 extra points this year and is 12-of-14 kicking field goals.
Putko finished the game 5-of-8 passing for 78 yards and a touchdown in a half of work. Andy Walsh completed 4-of-5 passes in relief.
Wabash ran for 211 yards led by Matt Gibson's 57. Gibson also had two scores.
Nate Scola paced the Little Giant defense with 8 tackles, five of those behind the line of scrimmage. That left the senior linebacker just a half tackle shy of the single game record. Cody Buresh made 5.5 tackles-for-loss in a game earlier this season. Sophomore Chris Broecker had 6 stops.
The Little Giants will face Wittenberg (7-1, 7-0 NCAC) next Saturday. The conference show down will determine the 2013 NCAC champion.
"It's a big game for us," Hodges said. "It's going to be a battle. They have a lot of athletes like we do. They've been putting up a lot of points like we have. We have to be mentally prepared this week and do everything we can in practice to make sure we're ready."
Kickoff will be 1 p.m. from Byron P. Hollet Little Giant Stadium.
Game Notes
Wabash made its 14th field goal of the 2013 season, tying the mark set by the 1985 team.
The Little Giants have returned 7 interceptions for touchdowns this season. The 1996 team previously held the record with 5.

- Colorado-Need - awarded to Colorado residents students only with demonstrated financial need based on the FAFSA.
- Colorado No-Need - awarded to Colorado residents only without regard to financial need.
- CSM - awarded to Colorado residents only without regard to financial need.
Filing the FAFSA by the deadline is not a guarantee of being awarded work study funds. Work study funds are limited and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Students that receive an award must have a contract on file in Human Resources by September 30th. Awards will be canceled and re-awarded to students on the waitlist after October 1st. The deadline for spring only awards is March 1st. Awards will be canceled after that date.
Students may earn up to the total amount of their work study award. However, total earnings depend on the hours worked, which may not total the work study award amount.
Students interested in being placed on the work study waitlist should contact firstname.lastname@example.com. Emails must be from the students Mines account and include their name and CWID.
Hire Documents
Students print their work study contract from the Financial Aid Required Documents page on Trailhead and complete it with their supervisor. Processing your work study contract directions.
First time student employees must fill out new hire paperwork before they can start working.
Getting a Job
Students may not work prior to the first day of classes of the fall term or after the last day of the spring term if their contract uses work study funds. Current student employment information.
Work study jobs are not assigned. Students may search for campus opportunities through Diggernet, a job posting site hosted by the Career Center. If a student possesses a special skill or credentials, e.g. lifeguard, he should contact the specific department for employment opportunities. Supervisors will establish an electronic timesheet and explain processing deadlines for timesheet submission.
Students at CSM who elect to work on campus typically work 10 hours or less per week. Because campus employers are aware that the course of study is rigorous, and academics is a student's first priority, work hours are typically flexible.
Getting Paid
Students are paid on the 15th and the last working day of each month. Paychecks are disbursed to a checking or savings account through direct deposit. Hours worked must be recorded through Web-Time Entry no later than the day after the pay period ends. Standard pay rates

Spectacular New Headland In Development at
Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa
Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa has begun a €300,000 project to enhance and protect the natural beauty of the headland of Inchydoney Island in an initiative that provides increased access and unparalleled dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the stunning views of the West Cork coastline.
The focus of the redevelopment, which is due for completion in April is on natural harmony and the seamless integration of the elements into the natural habitat. It will include features such as a picnic terrace, specially designed headland walk routes, amphitheatre style seating and a Wind Garden.
Conservation management is one of the key factors in the enhancement project because over time both the Atlantic Ocean and public access have taken their toll on the eroding headland. Inchydoney wants to ensure that we manage and preserve the headland for generations to come.
When completed in April, the headland will be visually alluring with meandering paths, stone faced walls with grass seating, proper fencing and lighting along with replenished native species of shrubbery, grasses and foliage. A viewing platform will be constructed overlooking the beach and headland providing stunning photo opportunities.
As the footpath and ancillary routes snake around to the open clearing, there will be a picnic area with a large range of viewing areas, and art and sculpture displays in the Wind Garden. The concept of the Wind Garden will be to harness the natural wind speeds of the area, which are typically high, and channel them into a scenic art project where the installations will respond naturally to the elements.
Proprietor of Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa, Des O'Dowd, says, "We are delighted to be the guardians and custodians of this beautiful landscape. We would like to leave it in a better way than we found it."
This is a joint initiative between Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa and West Cork Development Partnership.

So I thought I'd share this fun & easy project that I shared
over at Cherished Bliss a few months ago.
I just never got around to posting it here! :)
These personalized photo pendants are so easy & fun to make!
I first saw these over on Sugar Bee Crafts & knew I had to make some!

Thank you!
I've got some pretty flowers.
New things get noticed in our house.
That's' Maggie's nose in back there.
Yep, here she is.
Amongst other things, I also got this life safer bracelet ( I call it little dog collar). I love handmade stuff!
There was also this lovely card in the background, and matching my polka dot klox, this lovely cup and saucer. It came all the way from Australia from DD Hannah.
While I was taking pictures of the flowers, Happy and Maggie squeezed themselves on a bath mat (in the kitchen).
We found those bath mats at Costco's, and I thought they would be great for the dogs (and it's machine washable too). I brought one inside, when I unloaded all the groceries, and put it down in the kitchen (just for a moment). And ever since then, one or the other, or two of the pups sit on it. They love it! It holds the shape of anything stepping on it, paw print, or foot print for a while, it's so soft. Maggie likes to shake it, like her worst enemy, and goes totally crazy doing it, so much so, that Happy goes into hiding, probably happy, that he's not that bath mat. :o)

Rapper Foxy Brown was arrested in Florida yesterday for battery and obstruction of justice. TMZ has obtained the rapper's mugshot taken Thursday.
Foxy, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was booked by Pembroke Pines Police Department after a disturbance at a beauty supply shop.
According to the police Report, Brown threw hair glue at a beauty shop employee and later swatted an officer. Foxy was in the bathroom applying product to her hair when an employee told her the business was closed. She refused to leave the establishment. Brown then spat on the employee as he called 911, staining his shirt.
When a police officer approached, he tried to get the rapper to return to the store for questioning, but Foxy swatted his hand away and started swinging her arms in a struggle with the officer, who had to "use a takedown maneuver to gain control" of Brown, according to the report. Per the Broward County Sheriff's Office, Foxy was held on $1,500 bail on two offenses.
Ms. Brown was sentenced in New York last October to three years probation and anger management classes for assaulting two nail technicians. Brown was ordered to stay away from the manicurists for the next five years.

most dictionaries do this for you, for instance:
lists the entry as "sing·er"
Please someone help, it's urgent!!!
How can we divide these words into syllables: climbed, singer, succumbing, hanged, slangy, singable, trendy ??
I don't know whether -ing, -er etc. are separate syllables, just as sing/er, suc/cumb/ing or the previous letter also belongs to them, like sin/ger, suc/cum/bing
I hope someone can help me urgently, thank you in advance!!
most dictionaries do this for you, for instance:
lists the entry as "sing·er"
In addition, syllabification is based on how the word sounds, or its phonetic representation ([...]), and not on how the word is spelled, or its letter representation (<...>).Originally Posted by Ajax-Milan
For example,
Letter repesentation: <climb>
Phonetic representation: [klai'm]
The letters <mb> represent one sound, [m]. The <b> is silent. Moreover, the letters <ng> also represent one sound, [ng], a velar nasal:
<banged> [baeng'd]
In English, the letters <nd> represent two sounds, [n] [d],
<handy> [haen'di:]
but in some languages of the world, e.g., Aboriginal languages spoken in the USA and Canada, <nd> represents one sound.

By now you've heard about Indiana state treasurer Richard Mourdock's statement about abortion in the case of rape, made while debating his opponent for the position of Indiana's junior U.S. senator.
Asked whether abortion should be allowed in cases of rape or incest, Mourdock said, "I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."
This received, rightfully, a great deal of scorn, upon which Mourdock tried to make things better.
After the debate, Mourdock tried to clarify his remarks, saying it was "sick" and "bizarre" that his comments would be interpreted as though he were saying God intended rape. "What I said is God creates life. As I person of faith, I believe that," Mourdock is quoted as saying in The Indianapolis Star. "Does God want people raped? Of course not."
While that raises theological problems (if an omnipotent God doesn't want rape, why is there rape?), it doesn't make anything the least bit better. That he thinks it does is telling.
Rape is an invasion. When you are raped, your privacy is violated. Your bodily intgegrity is violated. Your body is entered without your permission and held captive to another's will. And yes, I'm talking about all kinds of rape, not just the legitimate, forcible, rape kind of rape.
Suggesting God would want this for anyone is abhorrent. Suggesting that God wouldn't want that–but would want something with many commonalities with rape to happen right after someone has been raped and to continue for months is equally abhorrent.
Yes, an unwanted pregnancy has many commonalities with rape. When you're pregnant, you lose your privacy and your bodily intergrity. Medical intervention, even of the preventive sort, is always intrusive. Coming after a rape, gynocological intervention takes on a particularly invasive character, especially when it's unwanted.
Whether you consider an embryo or fetus to be human or not, it cannot be nurtured outside the body. In the case of rape, that means that one more person (using the most pro-life wording) is invading the victim's body. In this case, however, the captivity goes on for most of a year.
An unwanted pregnancy is not rape, but it is like a rape in many ways. When a pregnancy follows a rape, it is an extension of the betrayal and the trauma of the rape itself. Any individual victim may decide for their own reasons that they want to carry that pregnancy to term, but none of them should ever be pressured to do so, much less forced.
Telling the world that your god wants rape babies may or may not be telling the world your god wants rape. People tie themselves into knots to believe stranger things. Telling the world you're insisting a rape victim should be retraumatized because your god wants the baby is appalling.
More than that, it is telling the world that your god has no use for the person wrapped around that uterus except as a mobile incubator. "Oh," said your god, "I don't care about that rape thing. I don't care if you're scared or hurt or have PTSD or would rather die than have to deal with reminders of your rape for months and months. I want a baby."
Even if that god existed, even if he weren't just a handy excuse to believe what you already believe without taking responsibility for it, following such a god would be a grossly immoral act. That anyone seeking public office would stand up and say all this as though it were a good thing tells us how far we have to go as a country. We can start by telling Mourdock he doesn't have the moral authority to make any decisions for the rest of us.

New Uniform #'s = New Attitude?
The Vancouver Canucks have some detractors this offseason, as a few pessimistic fans and journalists out there believe that (a) the team hasn't recovered from the heartbreak of losing Game 7 of the Cup Final last spring and (b) injuries to key pieces like Ryan Kesler could start the team on the wrong foot.
But a key to bringing a fresh perspective to a team is new blood. Two Vancouver rookies are shaping up to be impact players as the season opener versus Pittsburgh approaches this week: Cody Hodgson and Chris Tanev.
Hodgson's name shouldn't come as a surprise. He's a former first-round pick, a World Juniors standout and we've discussed him on this blog already.
He'll get more ice time than ever, the Canucks will lean on him in Kesler's absence and he even has a new lease on life after being awarded No. 9, last worn on the team by Taylor Pyatt.
The more surprising story out of camp has been defenseman Chris Tanev. The 6'2" defender has boosted his physical game, adding muscle and filling out to 190 pounds.
His coaches and teammates have raved about his poise and confidence with the puck.
Kevin Bieksa said Tanev could play "with a cigarette in his mouth," referring to the rookie's cool demeanor.
Unlike Hodgson, Tanev doesn't have that elite prospect pedigree. He was never drafted and, heck, never even played major junior hockey.
The Canucks found him playing college hockey at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
He's considered a "sure thing" to make the team and will likely suit up in the third pairing on Thursday night.
Two different positions, two very different paths to the pros – but Hodgson and Tanev are both set to make serious contributions to the Canucks this season.
Notes: Hodgson will be switching from #39 to #9 (Used the number when he was younger). Tanev switches to jersey #8 from #18.

NAACP decries inaction against former New London police officer
New London — Members of the state and New London branches of the NAACP on Wednesday voiced their frustration with state and federal law enforcement officials who have not pursued criminal charges against a former New London police officer accused of planting drugs at the scene of a 2010 arrest.
In a press conference at New London City Hall, Don Wilson, president of the New London NAACP, stood with Lance Goode, the New London man who claims he was falsely arrested in 2010 after former police Officer Roger Newton planted drugs. Newton has since resigned.
"I'm baffled. People need to know when it comes to our civil rights, we don't have anybody in our corner," Wilson said. "We're going to keep pushing."
Wilson and Tamara Lanier, the criminal justice chairwoman of the state NAACP, met last week with officials at the U.S. Attorney's office, where they said they were told a criminal indictment would not be forthcoming against Newton.
They are still hoping the criminal case gets a second look, however, and that federal officials consider a host of civil complaints, which included racial profiling, that came forward against the police department as a result of Goode's case.
"We haven't given up on Lance's matter," Lanier said. "I don't think this is over. I want citizens to feel their voices are being heard, and they're not being disenfranchised."
Goode said his case against the department is bolstered by a video he claims shows Newton dropping a bag of pills at the scene of his arrest. He has a pending civil suit against Newton and the police department.
Goode, who has a criminal record, said he's been the subject of harassment by police for years and was previously the victim of a police dog bite.
"In all fairness, me being a convicted felon has nothing to do with that video," Goode said. "I didn't have any narcotics. My record's my record, but I'm still a human being. I deserve respect like everyone else does."
Goode said he lives in fear of police and, aside from work, rarely leaves the house.
Lanier said that her hope is someone doesn't get killed or seriously hurt by police before officials take the complaints seriously.
Both Lanier and Wilson said they are attempting to enlist local legislators to apply pressure on their behalf.
"Without oversight or accountability, what incentive is there for change?" she said.
Judge denies Goode's request for bond reduction in hindering, tampering case
Former New London police officer claims in lawsuit against city that he was forced to quit

In order to win the nomination, one has to preach to the conservative choir, and Christie, although a pragmatic politician, does that. But he is also good "in between" politician for conservatives and middle-of-the-road voters. What is more, he campaigns like a hardliner, which is great in primary battles.
The Republican leading in many straw polls is Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, an ultimately unrealistic candidate, which is common at this point.
The bridge scandal did not stick to Christie. Even if voters believe he turned the screws to the mayor of Fort Lee, primary voters would not mind such a show of partisan energy. In fact, it just registers to them as being tough. In the general population of voters, punishing a fellow politician is still not as big of a deal as unleashing the IRS on political foes.
The bridge scandal in New Jersey was seen as manna from above for people trying to find a cure for a tough centrist Republican. The problem is that the story is basically over.
The same way that the Gennifer Flowers story faded away in 1992, so goes Bridgegate. And Christie, if he has a good year, can still win a primary in his party.
Christie may not be the Republican Party's best choice when you consider that Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is still a possibility. But Christie is widely known and politically visible.
This is not about the general election in 2016, this is about who wins those low turnout Republican primaries and caucuses in 2016. Even in years like 2008, the average turnout at GOP primaries was under 50 percent.
These are the hardliners and diehards. They don't care about a bridge or what a Democratic mayor thought about the bridge. In fact, in some circles, that will only endear the New Jersey boss-governor to them.
There are some who think Christie's hug with President Barack Obama will hurt him, which is a ridiculous notion. A governor has to protect his state and work with presidents. And Christie was a big Romney supporter.
Winning the presidency for a Republican is going to be difficult given a host of things that the party has to contend with, but the nomination is another story, that is winnable.
Christie is still the most muscular presence on a ballot. He won't poll as high as the nutty candidates, because until the actual primary, these polls are like Disneyland for fringe voters. But as we get closer to 2016, the real candidates – the grownups – will emerge, and without another embarrassing scandal, Christie can still be the nominee.
Why Are So Many Pitchers Getting Injured?
For the better part of the last 30 years, pitchers needing Tommy John surgery - the elbow ligament fix that puts pitchers back into action after extensive recovery time - were rare.
There were not many arms that required the surgery, named for the former Dodger starter that was the first successful recipient. Now, young pitchers are falling to this diagnosis more than ever before. What is causing such a change?
Today, pitchers are watched closely so they do not throw too many pitches in one outing. The idea is to preserve their arm. But that is not working so well if they are not only getting injured, but requiring surgery.
Recently, some experts have claimed that the mound might be too high, and the pitchers are landing a certain way, while throwing hard, thus causing strains. What is not mentioned is how many hard throwers come out of the minor leagues.
In this day of specialist pitchers, starters can throw as hard as they can for five innings, and then hand the ball to a middle reliever. Thirty years ago, a starting pitcher was required to at least try to throw a complete game, so they rationed their speed.
Young pitchers are burning out because they are expected to throw pitches in the mid-90s more than they used to. As a minor league baseball fan, I have seen more Single A-level starters throw in the 90s in recent years.
We rarely see older pitchers getting Tommy John surgery because they pace themselves better. Younger pitchers are used to mid-game relief help, so they can rear back and throw harder, which eventually burns out their arms.
Maybe coaches and managers need to focus on what these pitchers are throwing, as well as how many pitches they are throwing.
