Horned Frog Women Fall 2-1 in Overtime

Oct. 21, 2002

FORT WORTH, Texas - The TCU Horned Frogs (2-10-5) were in familiar territory, playing in their sixth overtime match of the season, but the Frogs experienced something that they hadn't during any of their previous overtime frames--a goal. Unfortunately for TCU, the Hawai'i Rainbow Wahine (5-7-3) scored that deciding goal, and earned a 2-1 victory on Monday afternoon at Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium.

The teams played a scoreless first half, as each side struggled on a wet, slow, chewed-up turf that experienced rain showers in the hour leading up to kickoff. TCU had the two best scoring opportunities prior to intermission. Freshman Kristi Nebozuk nearly scored her first career goal when her lofting header sailed over Hawai'i goalkeeper Jennifer Churchill's head, but the ball bounced once and hit the post. The Horned Frogs' other good opportunity came just a minute later when Elizabeth Walsh fired a shot from point-blank range that was saved just in front of the goal by Hawai'i defender Krystalynn Ontai.

TCU broke through first in the 54th minute when Jenny Swanson sent a bending shot from 19 yards out on the left side that arched high over Churchill's head and into the net. Walsh, who recorded her third assist of the season, played the ball from the corner back to Swanson. The goal was the first of the year for the junior.

But the Rainbow Wahine did not let the Horned Frogs enjoy their lead for long. Hawai'i countered just two minutes later when Pam Fong scored on a breakaway. Noelle Takemoto started the play by advancing the ball to Arlene Devitt, who centered the ball to Fong in the penalty area. The 56th minute tally leveled the score at 1-1 and ultimately forced overtime.

Just 50 seconds into the first overtime, Hawai'i's Erin Quattromani scored the golden goal. The Rainbow Wahine were able to get the ball into TCU territory when Devitt found Seline Williams, who played the ball to Quattromani. Quattromani buried the shot from eight yards away to end the match in the 91st minute.

TCU outshot Hawai'i 17-14 for the game, and each team made six saves.

It was the final home game of the season for the Horned Frogs, and the final home match for seniors Nicole Carman, Brenda DeRose, Sherry Dick, Alecia Grieshaber and Lori Robbins.

Team 1-2-OT1-F
UH 0-1-1-2
TCU 0-1-0-1

Scoring Summary:
TCU- Swanson (Walsh) 54'
UH- Fong (Devitt) 56'

VFD Altitude Derating

VFD derating is a manufacturer requirement when equipment ambient temperature is above 40 C degrees OR when equipment site is above 3000 feet in altitude. It is clear for manufacturers and engineers to avoid temperature derating by having the VFD's ambient temperature not to exceed 40 C degrees. On the other hand, VFD's manufacturers claim on altitude derating is due to thinner air at higher altitude that compromises the heat dissipation from the electronics. Although, it is a real claim, manufacturer's don't express allowances or methods for engineers to avoid the altitude derating. It seems intuitive that with a controlled ambient temperature we can provide the necessary cooling to the VFD equipment. Nevertheless, VFD's manufacturers have stated that altitude derating shall be done regardless the ambient temperature.
The motor and the VFD derate at the same rate. They are both generally rated at 40c and 3300ft for FULL CURRENT, and then derate at about 3%/ 1000 feet. If a 100hp motor and variable frequency drive were installed in a pump station in Death Valley (below sea level), and then were moved to the top of Mt. Everest, they would continue to work together, albeit at reduced capacity,

Where derating of a VFD becomes an issue is when a specifier requires a CURRENT rating at an elevation greater than 3300'. If a 200hp motor is specified for an application at, say, 6000', then a 200hp VFD would be appropriate. If CURRENT output of a variable frequency drive at 6000' needs to be 230 amps, then derating would have to be calculated.

When the information for design is poor, you'll end up with a big unnecessary VFD, the biggest impact in derating is taking by ability of heat transfer by the thin air. Working many years with application above 4500m, I'll take in consideration the following factors: Full load motor amps (never design by power); Ambient Installation temperature (@ 3000m never the temp goes over 25ºC, so, you have an extra capacity in amps for the VFD, some manufacturers have table with increase factors for lower temp), Altitude (conservative manufacturer use 1% derate every 100m, some calculate the real effect and state a factor) and voltage (thinking in an installation above 5000m you'll probably will need bigger insulation, for example for 480VAC motor, you'll need a VFD with voltage insulation of 575V or 600V the problem here is some VFDs can't work continuously in under voltage, some can). Bonus Extra, cosmic radiation affect the power electronics, reduce warranty.

The Camp Whitcomb Experience: Part 2

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Every morning after the team is woken by Markus with one of his one-of-a-kind sayings, everyone has about 15 minutes to get dressed, brush their teeth, put in contacts, etc., before the approximately 1.5 mile trail run. For a normal person (me) who needs water and coffee as soon as I wake up and doesn't always hop out of bed when the alarm goes off, this was a daunting, but doable task.

The goal of the trail run is to get faster each morning you do it. The returners have to match and then beat their times from last season, while the freshmen look to improve their times each morning.

It was an interesting, but definitely not easy trail as the three words I used to describe it were: hilly, muddy and buggy. I thought I hit it reasonably hard and finished with a time of 9:34, which was not bad for my first try. It was also much easier when you have 35 people cheering and encouraging you to finish strong.

Following the run are abdominal work and pushups. Each player gets to lead the team in a 30 second exercise. My turn was last and Ashley Bares whispered to me to say, "bring it in." I did, but it didn't fly with Frank (Pelaez), so we did pushups instead. After we finally "brought it in" it was time for some much needed breakfast and coffee for me.

The team worked on technical skills during the second training session. I sat on the sidelines following the warm-up for most of the session and observed, which in the end sort of hindered me when Markus told me that I had to do a miller.

What is a miller? I asked the same thing. I should have known millers were sprints. I thought I was going to have to do it by myself until Markus told the team I was going to do millers and everyone joined in to do them with me.

Just as they encouraged each other the entire practice, they encouraged me to give it my all during the sprints. It was much easier to do sprints with others than to do them by myself. It proves that no matter what role you play on the team everyone is going to support you. I actually thought the sprints were not too difficult, but with "cold" legs it was tough for me to go all out right away. I think I could maybe do two or three millers (with a two-or-so minute break in between) if asked to.

All in all, I enjoyed my experience at Whitcomb. It might have been too short as when I left I wanted to stay for the rest of the day. Tonight's theme is jersey night and I can only imagine what the team will come out wearing.

I have said the following statement each season I have worked with women's soccer team, "they are a special group of young women." I want them to do well and succeed not just because I work with them on a daily basis, but also because I know how hard they work and how bad they want it.

Note: This is the second part of the a two-part entry as I experienced just short of 24 hours at Camp Whitcomb with the women's soccer team.

No. 11/12 Marquette Routs North Dakota, 9-0

Maegan Kelly

Sept. 4, 2011

Box Score

Box Score (PDF)

MILWAUKEE - It was a record-setting day for the No. 11/12 Marquette University women's soccer team. The Golden Eagles scored a Valley Fields' record nine goals in a shut-out win over North Dakota Sunday afternoon.

Maegan Kelly matched a program record for goals (four) and points (10) in a match, while Kate Reigle, Rachel Brown, Cara Jacobson, Taylor Madigan and Isabela Carrasco each registered a goal.

With the win, the Golden Eagles improve to 5-1 overall and push their home unbeaten streak to 14 games.

North Dakota (2-3) struggled to contain Marquette from the kickoff and allowed five goals in the first 20 minutes of play. The Golden Eagles first goal came just 63 seconds into the match when Reigle served in a ball to Kelly who took three dribbles and knocked it in past North Dakota keeper Kristi Hestdalen from 10 yards out.

Kelly's second goal came in the 14th minute after Brown found the Kansas City, Mo., native 15 yards from the net with a cross. Kelly's shot beat Hestdalen to the far post.

Riegle tallied her first goal of the season at the 14:27 mark extending MU's lead to 3-0. Kelly was credited with the assist on the play.

Before the halftime break, Kelly, Brown and Jacobson scored goals to give Marquette a comfortable 6-0 lead. The Golden Eagles launched 22 shots in the first half and outshot the Fighting Sioux, 39-4, overall.

Madigan, Kelly and Carrasco each scored their goals in the second half in the 74, 75th and 80th minutes, respectively, to make it a 9-0 final score.

Natalie Kulla and Sofie Schunk spilt the 90 minutes in net with each playing one 45- minute half. Kulla recorded two easy saves, while Schunk did not half to make a stop.

MU returns to action Wednesday, Sept. 7 at Milwaukee. The 20th meeting between the cross-town foes will be televised live on the Fox Soccer Channel as the NSCAA Game of the Week.

Game Notes
• MU's nine goals are a Valley Fields record and the most scored since MU's 8-0 over Green Bay on Sept. 12, 1999.
Maegan Kelly tied Christy Zwolski's records for individual points (10) in a match and goals (4) in a match set against Sacred Heart on Aug. 27, 2006.
• MU's nine goals match the second most in school history. The last time MU scored nine goals was against Sacred Heart on Aug. 27, 2006.
• Marquette had six players account for its nine goals and 11 total players account for its 29 total points for the day.
• MU's 29 points (9g, 11a) match the most in program history. MU last registered 29 points at Purdue on Sept. 1, 1998.
• With two saves on the day, Natalie Kulla pushed her career saves total to 187, which is sixth on MU's all-time list. Kulla moved her wins total to 45 for her career (second all-time).

Worm Composting Photo

Worm compost may be the best thing for soil.

Brown earthworms recycle organic waste in our garden.  Red earthworms, which don't survive our climate, are used indoors.

During the warmer months, a working worm bin is on display at Compost 'S cool.

Before You Begin

A young boy holds a Nightcrawler earthworm.

Things to Consider

Where to keep the bin? Worms like to be at room temperature; you appreciate convenience.

How big a bin? The size depends on how much food you'll be adding, but a bin that fits the space you have is a good start.

What kind of bin? Any plastic storage bin will work, even an unused aquarium, as long as air can get in.

In the Kitchen

You’ll need a spot to collect the kitchen scraps. A bucket under the sink lined with newsprint works well. Some collect scraps in their freezer and others love a beautiful container on the counter.

We Can Help You Get Started

Compost S’ cool has free drop-in sessions where you can make a small bin to take home.

Maintaining Your Bin

A bin with fresh bedding.Make The Bedding

Proper bedding is important to worms' health. Newsprint torn into long strips is perfect, and for variety, include small amounts of potting soil (without chemicals), straw, fall leaves or dry houseplants, and a bit of floor sweeping or ground eggshell for grit.

Fill your bin almost to the top with loose bedding, then sprinkle water on it until it's as damp as a wrung out sponge. There should be some loose water on the bottom of the bin but not too much.

Feed the Worms

Bury your scraps under the bedding in the worm’s kitchen. Use a different part of the bin each week.

The smaller you cut the scraps, the faster they will disappear.

What Works Well and What Doesn't

Yum! Yuck!
Vegetable scraps Meat
Breads and grains Fish
Fruit rinds and peels Cheese
Egg shells Oily food
Tea bags Butter
Coffee grounds Animal products

Keep it Fresh

If the compost runs out of Oxygen it will start to smell. Fluff the compost and work bedding into clumps to break them up, and in 20 minutes things will be better.

Fruit Flies

One of the most common problems with bins is fruit flies. Fortunately, they don't bite and they're easy to deal with.

  • Chop banana peels so they rot fast, and worms can eat the baby flies
  • Keep scraps covered with a few inches of bedding or castings
  • Freeze scraps overnight before adding them to the bin

Fungus Gnats

The other small flying insect which can invade your bin is more bothersome because it can also survive in your house plants. An added challenge is that whatever you do to kill these pests may kill many of your beneficial decomposers. Let us help; call the Compost Doctors.

Fungus Gnats and Fruit Flies look quite different.

Other Creatures

Many other small creatures may share your bin with the worms. Most of them are helpful and rarely cause problems. Only centipedes, which will eat your worms, pose any threat to your bin.

Photo-thousands of white mites and several red mites and springtails are visible, and hundreds of millions of microbes are not visible, on a cinnamon stick.

Worm bin critters

If your bin smells bad, it probably has too much food, water or the wrong types of food inside. To eliminate odours, remove excess or inappropriate food and add fresh bedding. You might also leave the lid off to allow for evaporation.

Use your Compost

Using Worm Castings

  • Recharge old potting soil - use one part worm compost to 5 parts used potting soil
  • In the house - sprinkle 1/4 inch of castings on houseplants, every 6 to 8 weeks
  • In the garden - sprinkle castings along bottom of seed row, or into the hole when you are transplanting
  • Craft them into compost tea bags or gift bags
  • Mix with clay and wildflower seeds to make seed bombs

Finding the Castings

There are several ways to get castings out of the bin. Whichever you choose, it will be easier if the bin is on the dry side. From the easiest to the most time consuming, here are a few ways:

Simply take castings out as they collect. Use them in your watering can each week (one part castings to 20 parts water).

Dump ‘em

Toss everything into your outdoor compost pile or garden soil and take out enough worms to start over. You’ll lose a lot of worms, but it’s a good way to battle a gnat problem. Unfinished material can be dug into soil or mulched.

Inside a worm bin, finished material is moved to one side for harvesting.

Side to Side

Move everything to one side, re-bed the empty side and feed worms on the new half. After several weeks, remove the finished half.

Bright light make the worms burrow to the bottom of a pile of castings.  Compost can be skimmed from the top and used as fertilizer.

Bright Light

Shine a light on the compost to drive the worms to the bottom of the bin, then scoop the finished material off the top, returning unfinished material to the bin.

Storing Castings

In our climate castings dry out quickly. Store dry castings in an air-tight container in a dark place.

Where To Get Red Worms

Composting earthworms are smaller than garden earthworms.

Of Mice and Men Lesson Plan

About the Author

John Steinbeck was born in 1902 in Salinas, California, and is known for a large body of work, most notably The Grapes of Wrath, East of Eden, and Of Mice and Men. He attended Stanford University, but left the school after six years without earning his bachelor’s degree. Steinbeck then moved to New York, where he was employed as a journalist for The American and as a laborer. He later returned to California and worked in the Lake Tahoe region.

During this time, Steinbeck completed his first novel, Cup of Gold, which was published in 1929. He married Carol Henning in 1930, and then published several novels in the 1930s, among them Of Mice and Men (1937). In 1940, Steinbeck won a Pulitzer...

* Make a promise
* Offer a benefit
* Arouse curiosity
* Appeal to emotions
* Use numbers
* Make an announcement
Call to Action

Once you’ve motivated someone to read your content, make sure they take action. Again this ties back to the purpose or goal for your article or blog post. If you want people to read more content on your website then include a few relevant links at the end of your article. Tell them to click on the links to learn more about your niche. Always include some sort of call to action, even if you just want them to leave comments on your blog.

Use Examples

One great way to really get your reader involved in your content is to use examples. In a blog post you can use personal examples. In your article content you may want your examples to be more general.

Examples help paint a picture for your readers. Instead of just telling them something, you’re showing them too.

Visual Aids

More and more content online is also using visual cues to make it interesting to the reader. Any sales letter is going to have many subheadings, bold lettering on words that need to grab attention and bullet points to draw the eye down. In addition to formatting your content for easy online reading, consider using photos, graphics and other images to help inform your reader.

It’s not uncommon for a blog to include a photo in every single blog post. Additionally, if you’re writing a how to article you might include a few demonstration photos. If you’re writing a review you might include an image of the product you’re reviewing. And if you’re writing an informative article you might include graphs, charts or screenshots.

Using a few handy copywriting tactics for your content can help improve readability, reader response and it can help you achieve better content marketing results. Try implementing a few of these ideas and watch your results soar.

Actually, hiring a marketing consultant edmonton company,  is much cheaper than experimenting and getting out there with little knowledge. The experienced one is also confident and has multiple options for every situation. Experienced consultants can give you an idea of where to start and options about how to excel in your online marketing strategies.

The Internet itself will be most helpful when you are looking for a marketing consultant with an outstanding record. There might also some good consultants but that are new to your particular industry, as a business person you can’t able to take a risk like that. When choosing Internet marketing consulting services you really do want someone with experience in your industry.

Choose someone who can bring results, good results based on his or her record. You can rest easier knowing your marketing is in good hands that way. Don’t be afraid to check as extensively as you can into their marketing background… better to find it all out earlier than later.

Price is another important factor in choosing Internet marketing consulting services but you should look at it only after selecting qualified consultants. Other people do it backwards and look at the price first before the qualifications. You really can’t make a qualified decision that way.

So after you spot your candidates, it’s time for you to compare prices, negotiate, and get the best consultant for the most reasonable price. Choosing the best edmonton marketing consultant doesn’t have to be a problem, and if done right, it will never be.

When March 15, 2018 - March 16, 2018
10:00 PM - 01:00 AM
Where The Django 2 6th Ave, New York, NY 10013, USA
A talented guitarist influenced by George Benson and versatile enough to play straight-ahead jazz or R&B, Mark Whitfield was originally a bassist. At 15 he switched to guitar and soon won a scholarship to Berklee. After graduating from Berklee in 1987, Whitfield temporarily moved to Brooklyn and appeared at many sessions. George Benson suggested he work for Jack McDuff and that association was a big break for Whitfield. He has since recorded as a leader for Warner Bros. and Verve, and as a sideman with many players including Jimmy Smith, Nicholas Payton, Ray Brown and Courtney Pine.

Each color is the following note:

C (Yellow)

D (pink)

G (blue)

A (orange)

B (H) (green)

Following where you start on the MAP, choose a note for each event in the FORM. One event (p, mf, cres - dim) is one note/dot on the MAP.

*Mark in the notes on the FORM beforehand, to avoid confusion.

All events/notes are played Tutti, together. The events/notes are cued in by a conductor or leader. Short notes have short —, longer notes are longer ——-. The overall sense of tone of your instrument should have a feeling of breath and sensitivity.

The overall piece is as follows:

The duration of the FREE part is free. Each player chooses a place to start on the map, and holds the note, following the curve to the next note/dot. Play this part with sensitivity and breath. Follow the lines between the dots, the volume following the curves.

When you have played FREE for the desired duration, the leader plays one note p and signals that the other should do the same. When everybody realizes that it is the end of FREE you play 4x p Tutti (short notes), and start FORM 2.

Choose a different place to start on the map in FORM 2. Play till end.

Comments on: EP0901: Yours Truly Johnny Dollar: The Radioactive Gold Matter The great ones are back in action. Fri, 16 Feb 2018 21:59:45 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tim Szeliga Sat, 23 Mar 2013 13:11:51 +0000 Radioactive Gold reminded me of that great novel of the Cold War,
“Alas, Babylon” by Pat Frank. It is Swiss Family Robinson, set in 1959
Florida, after a total nuclear war, with the Bragg family determined to survive.

I read it in the sixties in middle-school and watched it remain in print and
slowly drift from the fiction section over to the classics. It is better
than Fail-Safe, or Top Secret or some of the Fletcher Knebel novels.

There is a scene where the now-secure small town must
repel a wave of looters travelling north from Miami. They
will kill for a tankful of gas, then strip the town clean.
Their women are bedecked in gold bands and rings,
plucked from smashed and abandoned jewelry stores in
the contaminated city.

The Braggs drive off or kill the looters, through their superior
military tactics and outstanding moral character. The Doc recognizes the
gold is “hot”. Examination of the floozies, jezebels and strumpets
show severe radiation burns under their bracelets. The whole mob
had two, maybe three weeks to live, tops. Randy just cut off their
crime spree a little early, before nature could.

Yes, the lessons are written with a thick, broad brush. The emotional feel is very close to Gunsmoke: Character counts, civilization survives when the
“right people” band together and fight outsiders.

All the diabetics die within the first month, anyone
on “life-support,” be it medical or support on a spouse
or just a pension expected from a city that isn’t there anymore.
You’re all on your own.

Blacks and whites work together, there’s no room
for race prejudice in a town where
Preacher has the only working automobile and takes Doc on his rounds.
Anyone willing to work and contribute is welcome.

“Alas, Babylon” fits right into the Golden Age of Radio timeframe.
Wikipedia says it was adapted as a Playhouse 90 episode with
Don Murray, Rita Moreno and Burt Reynolds.
Hmmmm…. never heard of it, but that would
be interesting! Yes, Don Murray played the junior Senator
from Utah with the shameful secret in “Advise and Consent”,
he’d be perfect as Randy.

Research Project:

Governing in Post-Soviet States. Traditions, Reform Discourses and Institutional Politics

Governments in many post-Soviet states are characterized by centralization, informal coordination, personal dependencies and institutional instability. Directly elected presidents and their administrations define and supervise the discretion of prime ministers, ministers and ministerial officials. These models of governing are fraught with numerous coordination problems that necessitate institutional reforms and have led several states to initiate projects of constitutional or administrative reform. Domestic reformers have frequently resorted to foreign advisers and have drawn on international ideas and approaches.

The project intends to compare the trajectories and outcomes of these efforts in Armenia, Georgia and Moldova. The hybrid political regimes in these states are situated on the continuum between deficient democracy and electoral authoritarianism. They depend more on foreign support than Russia or the Eurasian states with natural resources. While changes of government in Georgia, Moldova, where associated with overcoming Soviet legacies, all three states are less subject to influences from the European Union than, for example, the Southeast European states.

The project seeks to reconstruct and explain the paths of these state as interactions between Soviet and autochthonous traditions of governing, reform discourses and the incorporation of foreign ideas, and the institutional policies of domestic political actors. It is assumed that imported rules acquire institutional legitimacy, if they are supported by broad coalitions of actors and linked to existing state and administrative traditions.

This focus of research is based on interpretationist approaches of executive studies that view governance as a result of practices, narratives and traditions political actors refer to. Previous studies in the project have shown that the availability of legitimizing ideas strongly influences the relations between states and economic actors in Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine. In addition, the project builds on previous work that has explored the emergence of national varieties of executive governance.

From:    ***@IRL.CRI.NZ
Subject: Topper Pads for sprung floors

Hi to all from New Zealand,

I am the head coach at a gym club in Wellington NZ.  We have recently
made ourselves a full sprung floor base, and have temporarily covered
it with 60mm thick bonded foam mats, finally covering it all with a
PVC cover.  The floor is great - very bouncy and quite responsive.
However the mats are too soft, and some of our gymnasts (girls and boys)
have developed wrist injuries.  I am not sure if this is due to mats
that are too soft, or to the fact that we have not had such a good
tumbling surface before!

Anyway, I have been looking at putting a "proper" topper pad on it.
In NZ (and I am sure elsewhere) topper pads are made from a light
weight material - closed cell foam, glued to carpet.  In NZ we can
pay up to $14000 for a 14m x 14m topper pad (approx $US 9000).  There
are some suppliers who make their own here from these same materials,
but they are still quite expensive.  An alternative is to use bonded
foam of a similar thickness (30mm - 1 1/4") glued to carpet.  This
foam is a lot cheaper, quite an attractive option for our club.  So
here are my questions for the technical types out there:

Is there any special reason why closed cell foam is used in modern
topper pads, apart from its lightness?  eg: Does it have better shock
absorbing properties, or better response?  If I dont mind having
haevier rolls of mats (we wont need to shift them) will the bonded
foam topper pad be just as good?

I realise this is outside the usual discussion topics so if necessary
please reply by private email to

Thanks in advance for any help.

Again, Boginskaya and Kolyvanov won the 86 Junior Euros.  Ivanova and
Kolyvanov won the *88* Jr Euros.  Ivanova disappeared after '90 but Kolyvanov
won an American Cup (I think) and was the Unified team alternate in

Subject: Marissa Medal

Marissa Medal is I believe at the American Twisters in Florida.  I saw her at
the 93 or 94 USAIGC competition and was very impressed with her form and
line.  I think I heard she was a level 6 in 92, and she was level 9 or so at
that USAIGC meet, so she is definitely moving up fast.  She competed at last
years Junior Nationals but did not finish in the top 12 to make the team.

Subject: Re: Trivia Quiz #31: Shooting Stars

>>2.  Which gymnasts (m & f) won the 1986 European Juniors then dissappeared
>two years later?

>This has to be wrong either way: Kolyvanov and Boginskaya were '86 Jr Euro

Mea culpa.  Amanda is correct.  I misread the original questions, and as a
result, the final version of the question was inaccurate.

>>About the Tatiana Tuzhikova, do you mean (Mara) Tatiana
Tougikova, 1987 worlds?

That's who I thought was meant, yes.  She did have a long coaching/touring
career, but her competitive career (IMHO) does qualify as a 'starburst'

Date:    Tue, 1 Aug 1995 22:08:39 -0400
From:    ***@AOL.COM
Subject: World Cups?

>Perhaps a better answer for this question would have been Stella
Zakharova, who also won the World Cup twice.  That's not to say that she
was a "shooting star"; her career was not as long as Filatova's, though.<

If Filatova and Zakharova both won two, how many World Cups were there?  I am
drawing a complete blank on the World Cup winners.

Didn't Tourisheva win all five golds at the first one in 74?  I thought there
was one in 78 (won by Filatova) and then an odd one in Brazil in 79
(Zakharova?).  Then Yurtchenko and Bicherova tied in 82, Shushunova won in
86, and Lyssenko won the last one in 90.

Who/which ones am I missing?

Date:    Tue, 1 Aug 1995 22:23:53 -0400
Subject: World Cups

     I'd have to look up how many World Cups there were, but wasn't the one in
Brazil won by Filatova? And I know for sure that Stella Zakharova won the 1979
World Cup, which was in Japan. The media often mistakenly say that Nadia won
this meet, but she had a fall in AA (bars I believe) and finished 4th, if I
remember right. Wasn't there a World Cup in Canada in 1980? Who won that one?

Date:    Wed, 2 Aug 1995 12:39:27 +1000
From:    ***@STUDENT.GU.EDU.AU
Subject: Re: World Cups

Hi Folks

> Wasn't there a World Cup in Canada in 1980? Who won that one?

Yes there was, and I believe Stella Zakharova won it.  (I have it on
video, but haven't watched it in ages).  A German got 2nd, I think it was
Steffi Kraeker, but I wouldn't put my life on it.  Competing in one
of her final meets was soviet Elena Naimushina.......does she qualify as
a shooting star - an appearance at an Olympics then little else?  I still
love her FX routine (wish they'd show it in Romania - maybe one of their
coreographers would realise you're supposed to USE the music!)

Just my thoughts

Please forward the address for United States Gymnastics Federation, if number okay also.

Haddonfield has 10,000 street trees that provide the benefits of beauty, shade, healthier air and screening between busy roads and homes. With this great asset there are also costs. Each year, over 100 of these trees need to be removed due to injury, storms, disease, insects and age. The Borough owns and is responsible for the trees through the Haddonfield Shade Tree Commission. In recent years the cost of tree maintenance and removal has jumped significantly. In light of realistic budgeting priorities, increasing funding in this area has become more difficult. It is understood that in many cases, property owners whose properties abut the public right of way where the trees are, want the dead or diseased trees removed more expeditiously than the Borough can arrange for.

This program was developed to allow property owners who voluntarily choose to do so, to have qualified, approved contractors remove Borough trees that are on the Shade Tree Commission’s take down list. The program further encourages this action in partnership with the Borough by offering to reimburse the property owner for half the appropriate cost of the contract removal, with a maximum reimbursement of $1000 per tree.

Example 1: Cost to remove tree is $600, Borough will pay $300.
Example 2: Cost to remove tree is $2,000, Borough will pay $1,000. Example 3: Cost to remove tree is $2,500, Borough will pay $1,000.

This program includes the costs of disposing of the tree parts in a legal manner but does not cover the costs of stump removal and/or any damage done by the tree during the removal. Residents having trees removed pursuant to this program are required to have stumps ground out to a depth of six inches.

The process to take part in this program is as follows:

The party interested in having the tree removed must first verify with the Borough that it is on the authorized take down list, or request that it be added to that list.
  1. This is done by calling the Haddonfield PW dept at 429-0183 between 8 am and 4 pm each weekday, emailing to, or writing to the Haddonfield Shade Tree Commission, PO Box 3005, Haddonfield, NJ 08033-0969, to request such verification or authorization for removal.
  2. The designated Borough tree expert will, if needed, visit the site and inspect the tree to verify its status and communicate it with the requester. Tree inspection must normally be done at a time of year when trees have leafed out.
  3. If the tree is approved for removal, the Borough will provide the requestor with an application form and instructions for obtaining a permit for the tree removal and for submitting a voucher for reimbursement under the program, including information on pre-approved tree contractors and instructions on what criteria are used to approve a tree contractor not on the list.
The application must
    1. identify the tree location, size (diameter at breast height) and species (with the assistance of the borough’s designated tree expert);
    2. include the name, address and phone # of the contractor designated to do the removal, that contractor’s cost proposal and the desired date of removal;
    3. include proof that two quotes were obtained for work to be completed.
    4. include a hold harmless clause to be signed by the property owner;
    5. be signed by the property owner/requestor stating they understand all the provisions of this program.
The Borough Shade Tree Commission will authorize the appropriate tree expert or Commission member to determine if the tree contractor named in the application meets the criteria for safe and appropriate tree removal services.
  1. A list of pre-approved tree contractors will be created by the Shade Tree Commission following notice sent to area contractors describing the program, listing the criteria and asking contractors to apply for pre-approval.
  2. Once a tree contractor is approved, the contractor will be required to sign the hold harmless clause and include a certificate of insurance. The certificate must list appropriate coverage levels and name the Borough and the Haddonfield Shade Tree Commission as additional named insureds.
  3. If the applicant has not selected a pre-approved contractor, once the application is received the Borough will send an application and criteria sheet to the chosen contractor asking them to submit their information so they can be approved.
  4. If the contractor is approved, they will be asked to sign the forms and provide the insurance certificate.
Once the application for removal has been approved, a permit for the tree removal will be issued to the requestor and the contractor by the Shade Tree Commission or its authorized representative.
    1. Copies will be provided to the Police Dept. so they will know who has been authorized to work in the street.
    2. The Borough’s authorized tree expert will mark the tree to be removed with spray paint to ensure there is no mistake as to which tree to remove.
    3. The contractor will be asked to notify the PW dept 24-48 hours before planned work.
    4. The Borough’s tree expert or a PW department representative will check the location to try to observe the work to determine if the contractor is carrying it out safely and properly and to verify that the work is done.
Once the work is done, the requestor can formally submit the signed Borough voucher requesting reimbursement.
  1. The signed Borough voucher must have a copy of the paid receipt from the tree contractor attached.
  2. The voucher is submitted to the Borough Hall, Rm 101, where arrangements will be made for the Borough’s tree expert or a PW department representative to sign it to verify that the tree was properly removed and that the amount to be paid (half the cost up to $1000) is correct.
  3. The voucher will be presented to the Commissioners along with all other bi-monthly vouchers, for approval at their regular meeting (2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month).
  4. A check will be issued and sent to the requestor within one week of that approval.

hahn lab

Our lab focuses on two synergistic areas: developing molecular tools to visualize and control signaling in living cells, and questions re the specialized cell biology of blood cells. Our biological studies center on clinically important cell behaviors -- phagocytosis, platelet production, and immune cell interactions. We try to uncover basic signaling principles using these cells as models of chemical-mechanical interactions in signaling networks. We have begun studies of immune and cancer cell migration in the cancer microenvironment.

Our molecular imaging tools are focused on specific molecules for our biological studies, but we aim to produce broadly applicable approaches that others can use to visualize and control protein behavior. These include new biosensor designs that minimally perturb signaling, enabling us to examine low abundance proteins and to visualize multiple proteins simultaneously. We are developing means to control endogenous proteins with light, and engineering allosteric networks in proteins to confer control by light or small molecules. By precisely producing and visualizing localized signaling transients, we ask quantitative questions about signaling dynamics in cell decision making.

We are grateful to be working closely with other laboratories who model signaling dynamics, develop novel microscopes and quantify complex behavior in microscope images.

Hello everyone,

I found this site accidentally and somehow I felt glad to found it because I feel absolutely lost with all this "idiopathic hirsutism" world...

Okay, so here's my personal story + background :

I'm 24 years old, female.
I started with laser at 14 years old when I was diagnosed with idiopathic hirsutism.
I've done linea alba - it took me two years, from 14 to 16. Absolutely worth it I have it all clear since 8 years ago
Thighs - 1.5 years doing it , I have another two appoinments for this year, the hair is few on this area now
Areolas - I have done more than 15 sessions but the hair still there, so I gave up on it.
Face (chin, upper lip, neck, cheeks) - since I was 16 until today, with no success story frown

And that's why I am here, my face's hair freaks me out. I have decided to start with electrolysis but I have no idea what to expect from it , so my questions are these :

1- I think I had like an hair stimulation (if that is possible) on this area, will electrolysis help?
2- How much can cost a session?
3- How much time will I need to wait until seeing an improvement?
4- Do they grow back (the hair I mean ) ?
5- Is it true that after you 'kill' one hair-follicle ,you don't need to redone the area?

Thanks for your time <3

Hello Tay,
Have you had blood work ordered by an endocrinologist or dermatologist?
There are prescription drugs such as Spironolactone and Propecia that
will limit new hair from growing due to idiopathic hirsutism.

Prices vary in different parts of the country.
Yes, it is possible that a treated hair may grow back, however, if the follicle
has been destroyed, it won't produce another hair.

Don't worry about how many months it will take; just start as soon as possible.
In six or twelve or eighteen months from now, you will be happy that you began

Thank you for your reply!

I did 10 years ago and I am planning to make it again in March, just in case. I guess at 14 and now at 24 my hormones or other things could have changed as well!

As a first option I refuse the idea of taking prescription drugs , honestly I don't know what to expect from them. Are they mandatory for avoiding idiopathic hirsutism?

Also, I just made an appointment for a previous diagnosis prior to start the electro but the sessions will start in April I guess. Another dumb question, is it possible to get electrolysis in summer or it works like laser hair??

You can get electrolysis anytime, winter/summer doesnt matter. I do recommend that you protect the skin from UV rays ( direct sunlight) regardless .

Propecia,Androcur, Spironolactone and Finestride are prescribed in cases where there is an excess of dihydratestosterone in the bloodstream. They are drugs classified as antiandrogens, and their job is to either reduce to reduce or eleiminate dihydratestosterone in the bloodstream, or block the receptors so it cannot bind.
Dihydratestosterone can be higher for a number of reasons, some of which include imbalances of the thyroid which balances the endocrine system resulting in things like Cushings Disease, or in some cases by Ovarian Cysts causing Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) .When a blood test does result in high levels of DHT usually an ultrasound of the ovaries is used to confirm if there are in fact ovarian cysts.
PCOS is often related to diet, and often related to type II diebetes. For this reason a dietary approach to correcting the issue is essential to correcting the issue longterm. The doctorss can prescribe an antiandrogen however to reduce the symptoms related to the hight DHT levels and the resulting symptoms (Mostly Hirsutism, but other things are effected as well such as period frequency and intensity, cramping and other not so nice symptoms)

It's important to note here, that doctors are extremely hesitant to diagnose PCOS. The in general recieve inadequate training in medical school on the delicate balance of the endocrine system and so are very hesitant to diagnose as a result.

The drugs if prescribed are not prescribed lightly and SHOULD be taken.

The will not do anything to get rid of the hairyou have growing now. They will stop more hair from growing . In the meantime, electrolysis is the best way to address the existing hair.

I will say that I like most of the electrologists here have many clients with PCOS. Without FAil they get past in and on with their lives. They can be amoungst the most motivated to rid themselves of this issue.

Well said, Seana!

Tay, Look up the threads written by GH101 as
she had many of the same questions that you have.

You my also want to look up the threads written by MamaBear as she
discussed dietary changes.

Variations and Value in New Media Content

What really is the potential which can be enabled in new media content. Disposability seems to be a fact of life, and tied into the way content exists on the Internet, and indeed such disposability can be embraced. But is this really what work best on the Internet. Or more interestingly, is this an approach which truly allows new media to have the effect it can.

To what extent can internet content have a stronger functional effect. It probably is the case that content can have some persuasive effect, if only by continuing production of variations on a message. But I'm thinking of something more than this, an idea of content which is itself a kind of device which has its own functional life. That is, it is not there to persuade, but to have an existence in and of itself.

What might this be. I am thinking perhaps of art, of a certain kind, which may not have any intention to change or persuade, and can be considered as having a life of its own. This life exists in its viewers, but also exists in its value. It also exists in the components and their composition. Can one say this about a website. Perhaps one can say this about a new media website, potentially.

But I feel it is still a different kind of existence from that of an artwork, it has its own unique kind of being. One could ask is it seen in a different way. It potentially is different because it can contain expression of a sufficiently varied kind, a kind of macro rather than micro variance. But of course the issue is the coherence of that expression. But from this coherence on perhaps disparate content and design may come a greater sense of functional value, rather than an artwork existence.

So the existence of the new media website, becomes a potentially effective one as well. But this may be dependent on sufficient variation in the parts. The trick is to cohere this variation. One might expect this is something which would need growth rather than instant development, which may though be the case with all things of value.

However, is this effective power dependent on how such content is seen. It may be to some extent, in may be the case that how this content is delivered is key, in a way it may not be for other content. So delivery, rather than being a way to get content to an audience is part of the way the content works. The variations on delivery, can perhaps find some of that variance.

This puts a quite functional view on content, as functional processes work to enable it and to some extent make it. However at its core, it is still something generated by the mind, usually, but this generation may be key to making the elements which make it effective, work. So too much mechanisation, may result in an essential part of the way content can work, being missing.

As for disposable content, it can be an essential part. For example, it can be time limited content, which has nearly all of its functional and other value in a time period. Or it can be content which it not limited in this way, but effectively is, as its effect is short lasting and may not have any effect after this time, unless extended by variations. But even here, such parts can make up a whole which is an effect. So it may be, for a whole made by the material requirements of a website, that such content is a necessary part of it as well, assuming it can be integrated. In terms of a practical recipe, then variations on a theme may be a good way to go.

The question then is how much and what kind of variation. Does time matter. I would see it like this: time does matter, in the sense that too much or too little can create a kind of decay. But what matters from a more functional perspective, is perhaps the way variation occurs, and the extent to which it makes use of the elements of the whole.
