Oklahoma ranks top 10 for obesity, diabetes, high-blood pressure, depression

That Oklahoma ranks in the top 10 in both obesity and depression is no surprise to Philip Hyde, a clinical psychologist with the Oklahoma Psychological Center, 1117 N.W. 50th. He’s seen the conditions coexist in clients for years.

“There is no doubt they are joined,” Hyde said. “My guess is it stems from a lot of factors, including some bad habits that we get into fairly early in life. If we don’t come to grips with them or understand them, they are going to lead to all sorts of difficulties later on in life, including what might represent as depression or obesity.”

Numerous recent studies are beginning to confirm the anecdotal observation of health care providers in Oklahoma and across the country: Depression and obesity, often along with other conditions, appear to be windows into the same dark house, one in which a lot of Oklahomans live.

Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System show Oklahoma ranks sixth in the country in depression, according to a composite of different factors. That study, released through Mental Health America in 2007, states that more than 13 percent of adult Oklahomans experienced severe psychological distress, almost 8 percent of adults have suffered from depression and more than 9 percent of adolescents also had depression. Sufferers averaged more than four lost workdays per year due to these mental health issues, according to the study.

Concurrently, Oklahoma tied Arkansas for eighth in the country in obesity, with 28.1 percent of Oklahomans (and Arkansans) weighing in as obese, according to state data from the Trust for America’s Health. That same study damns Oklahoma as high in diabetes ” a disease connected to obesity ” ranking it sixth in the nation, with 9.7 percent of Oklahomans struggling with the condition.

While these statistics indicate a connection between obesity and depression, the connection is solidified in a recent study published over the summer in Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice. That study concluded that whether one becomes obese and then gets depressed, or vice versa, the two conditions have a relationship.

“People who are depressed may be more likely to become obese because of physiological changes in their hormone and immune systems that occur in depression,” that study concludes. “Also, they have more difficulty taking good care of themselves because of symptoms and consequences of depression, such as difficulty adhering to fitness regiments, overeating and having negative thoughts.”

Researcher Evette Ludman’s work, along with fellow colleagues at Seattle’s Group Health Center for Health Studies, also confirmed such findings. A 2006 study at the center found that obese adults could have as high as a 44 percent likelihood of also developing depression. The situation can produce a chicken or egg scenario, she said ” a person may be depressed about being fat, or, being depressed, may become fat due to overeating, drinking and a lack of motivation to exercise. Nevertheless, Ludman said, there is one sure way out.

“Depression is a disorder of motivation,” Ludman said. “One of the things we do with folks is get them moving even before they feel like it. Sometimes you have to have action before motivation ” you can’t just sit around and wait for the motivation to come to you.”

Small goals, Ludman said, are the key to starting an exercise program. A walk around the block might work for starters, followed by more over time. A good friend to take that journey with can also help.

“Having a buddy is particularly powerful when depression is involved. You get it on two fronts. There is the exercise and then there is the social interaction,” she said.

“There is accountability. On the morning you don’t want to go, there’s the friend, saying, ‘Come on, we’re going to do it.’ Walking is one of the best exercises there is. The heavier you are, the more calories you burn when you walk.”

Her suggestions concur with Hyde’s. With so many new walking trails available and others due to be accessible in the coming year, those with weight/depression issues need to get to work. “Ben Fenwick

May 20, 2013 - State Higher Education System Promotes Access to InformationRSS feed

Media Contact

Committed to providing students and their families the information and tools needed to make informed decisions about higher education, the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education, in partnership with state Rep. Ken Walker, encourage students and parents to learn more about Oklahoma’s colleges and universities through College Results Online (CRO).

CRO is an interactive web tool designed to provide parents, students, counselors and policymakers information about college graduation rates for nearly any four-year institution in the country. State colleges and universities will feature the tool on their websites, making it easy for online visitors to find and utilize.

“The State Regents and our Council of Presidents share Rep. Walker’s commitment to transparency and to offering students and their families all the information they need to make an informed decision when selecting a college or university,” said Chancellor Glen D. Johnson. “We also want to thank Rep. Walker for his leadership, support and commitment to Oklahoma higher education.”

CRO allows users to examine higher education institutions’ graduation rates and see how those rates have changed over time, compare graduation rates of similar institution serving similar students and learn about institutions’ track records in graduating diverse groups of students.

“Technology has made the world much smaller and students are competing for jobs not only with their fellow classmates, but also with students from across the world,” said Walker. “A four-year degree is an important investment, and CRO gives parents and students access to vital information in one place so when they’re comparing institutions to determine the best option for their financial and academic futures, they can choose wisely.”

CRO, which can be accessed at, draws its information from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System(IPEDS), the nation’s most comprehensive database of college graduation rates. To determine which institutions to compare, it weighs 12 factors known to affect graduation rates, including student scores on college-admissions tests, institution size and percentage of low-income students on campus.

Saturday Night Worship?

I get emails —

What do you think of worship service being held on Saturday night?

First argument

Any time is a good time to worship God. Obviously, it’s not wrong to worship God on a Saturday night.

Second argument

The harder question is whether a Saturday night assembly can replace the Sunday assembly. May we take communion on Saturday night?

The Jews considered the Sabbath to begin at sunset on Friday and to end at sunset on Saturday. To them, what we call “Saturday night” was the first day of the week. If God’s requirement that we take communion on the “first day” is reckoned by the Jewish system, Saturday night is every bit as much the first day of the week as is Sunday morning (and much more so than Sunday night!)

However, the Romans counted days midnight to midnight, as we do. And so, you have to decide whether God defines “first day” by the Jewish or Roman method. Since God used the Jewish method in dealing with the Sabbath and the Passover, and the Lord’s Supper was instituted as part of a Passover meal, the Jewish method seems to surely be acceptable to God.

Actually, I think either method of reckoning “first day of the week” will be perfectly acceptable to God — but that’s because I reject the notion of binding examples and silences. As a result, I don’t think we’re bound to take communion on the first day of the week and only on the first day of the week. But for those who are convicted otherwise, Saturday night should be perfectly acceptable.

Third argument

I just don’t see a “pattern” in the New Testament that insists that communion be taken only once a week and only on the first day of the week.

Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper on a Thursday night (the evening of the sixth day), one day before Passover, which was to be held the evening of a Sabbath, that is, a Friday. That’s right: Jesus took Passover a day early (since he would be in the grave Friday evening). And the Lord’s Supper was taken by Jesus and his apostles on a Thursday, not a Sunday (Jesus had other plans for Sunday.)

We are told that the church at Troas evidently met weekly, on the first day (Acts 20:7). The church at Corinth was instructed to set aside funds for the poor in Jerusalem on the first day of the week, which suggests a weekly assembly. (Or maybe a weekly pay day? Remember: Sunday was ia work day.)

Less direct evidence might be found in the fact that John received the vision that became Revelation on the “Lord’s Day” (Rev. 1:10), which is a name adopted by the early church for the first day. Moreover, Jesus appeared to the disciples after his resurrection on the first day, but on a Saturday night by our reckoning (John 20:19).

However, there’s also authority — indeed, early authority — for daily worship. The Jerusalem church met daily (Acts 2:46) and baptized daily (Acts 16:5). Paul met daily with the Ephesian disciples (Acts 19:9) and admonished the members daily (Acts 20:31). The Hebrews author urges Christians to “exhort” one another every day (Heb 3:13).

In short, we assume a semi-hidden rulebook imposing universal rules for how to worship that must be discerned by binding examples and silences, whereas the scriptures actually point us in a very different direction. They simply do not seek to impose a strict, unvarying structure binding on all ages and cultures. Rather, the universal rule is to worship “in Spirit and in truth,” in contrast to the Torah’s very specific instructions on when, where, and how to worship (John 4:24).

Leviticus shows us that God knows how to write a rulebook when it suits him. We should not presume to be smarter than God, imagining that he forgot to give us the instructions we need on how to worship, forcing us to imply the rules from silences, based on a rule (the “Regulative Principle” or “Law of Silence”) that was unknown to Christianity until the 16th Century.

The Passover was to be held at twilight (Num 9:1), which is why the Lord’s Supper is called “supper” and not “brunch.” The first communion was taken in the evening as part of a meal. And church history is clear that the early church took communion in the evening as part of a common meal called the agapē or “love feast.” (See this article for more detail.) This practice is well attested by the New Testament in, e.g., Acts 2:46 and Jude 12. (Yes, they added fried chicken to the Lord’s Supper!)

In Judea and the Roman Empire generally, Sundays were work days. Outside of Judea, many converts were slaves. The early church had to meet either before or after work. And we have records from history of churches meeting very early in the morning or in the evenings (never at 10:00 a.m) — but the early church seems to have taken the Lord’s Supper in the evenings, which is when Roman residents dined together and which would have been a far more natural time for a common meal — very much like our “covered dish dinners.” (Imagine holding services at sunrise every Sunday, with a covered dish breakfast every Sunday, and you’ll begin to see the logistical difficulties of a morning agapē.)

Over time, the idea of a morning Lord’s Supper came to predominate, and as a result, the agapē was separated and taken in the evening while communion was taken in the morning. Jesus was resurrected early on a Sunday morning, and the early church (but not the biblical authors) defended Sunday as a day of worship, against Jewish critics, because it’s the day of the resurrection. Hence, the resurrection and Lord’s Supper became very closely associated in the minds of the early Christians — leading to a morning communion separate from the evening agapē, beginning in some parts of the Roman Empire in the middle of the 2nd Century.

However, the association of the Lord’s Supper with the resurrection, as powerful as it is, does not make for a rule. Remember: Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper on a Thursday evening as part of a Passover meal, which was ordinarily to be taken on a Friday night (Sabbath evening).

Final argument

We worship God, not because he commanded us to do so, but because the Spirit is in us (John 4:24; 2 Cor. 3:18; Phil 3:3). Our hearts yearn to worship. Worship is not a command to be obeyed on penalty of damnation. Worship is a privilege, a delight, and joy. It’s part of our new nature as new creations in Christ.

There are no rules that prevent us from worshiping at some particular time, day, or place. Every time, every day, and every place is a proper, acceptable time, day, and place for worship.

The weekly assembly — the gathering of God’s children — is not a command to be obeyed on penalty of damnation. It’s a privilege, a delight, and a joy. We gather because we love one another. We gather because we need each other and are needed by each other. There are no limits on the frequency, time, day, or place of gathering with our siblings to glorify God. How could there be?

The first day of the week has been a customary day of gathering from very early in the church’s history, but the earliest practice was a daily gathering.

There is nothing at all in the scriptures that even hints that we must take communion on Sundays and only on Sundays — as reckoned by the Roman calendar. It’s just not there, not even in the silences.

Rather, the most likely interpretation is that the church gathered for common meals, and they took communion as part of those common meals. After all, bread and wine were standard fare at evening meals in the Roman Empire. Jesus consecrated these common, ordinary elements and turned them into something extraordinary and holy — just as he took ordinary people and made them extraordinary and holy.

Jesus gave the rule plainly —

(1Co 11:25-26 ESV) 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

When do we take communion? “As often as you drink it.” That is, whenever we eat and drink together with our brothers, in the name of Jesus, the meal is consecrated to Jesus. What we do is in his memory.

The fact that we are together is an act of grace. Eating together in the ancient world meant mutual acceptance and love. The Pharisees refused to eat with Gentiles and sinners. Jesus ate with sinners and those that the religious authorities rejected. And our common meal — symbolic or otherwise — emulates the table fellowship, the acceptance, the hospitality, the grace, and the love of Jesus. Every day. Every time. Every place. No matter how frequent.

What does this mean? When we accept one another as brothers and sisters despite our failings and our sins, despite our struggles to get along, that is, when we share a meal that extends to our brothers the same grace we received from Jesus, we do this in memory of Jesus.

You see, the point is not that we must engage in the certain, precise ritual on a certain day in a certain way. The point is that our meals, our hospitality, our fellowship, and our churches must proclaim the nature of Jesus — his agapē. That’s what turns a covered dish dinner into a agapē and the taking of bread and wine into the Lord’s Supper. It’s only the supper of Jesus when the meal is all about Jesus and our following in his steps.

And so, yes, yes, yes! Meet Saturday night to be with your brothers and sisters and to worship our Savior! Yes! But be there to be like Jesus, to celebrate and display his hospitality and table fellowship.

Don’t go merely out of sense of duty and obligation. Go to celebrate God’s grace that comes by the death of Jesus — and eat and drink together as a product of that grace with a love and a fellowship so intense that a lost world is drawn to the table with you. Powerfully proclaim Jesus by being part of a community that loves one another with an intensity so bright that you can’t stay apart and you eat and drink together as family.

Don’t dare take communion alone! Not because it’s sin but because communion is, by definition, about being together — not just physically in the same room, but accepting and loving and delighting in each other despite all your weaknesses, sins, and failures.

And Saturday evenings work just fine for that. In fact, it’s about time we stopped desecrating and began consecrating our Saturday nights.

UGA unveils plans for land use

Posted: Tuesday, February 25, 2003

 Odum property map

   The ''last green island'' in Clarke County, 23 acres fronting the Middle Oconee River in the Beechwood neighborhood, will become a conservation subdivision with strict development guidelines.

   The late University of Georgia ecologist Eugene Odum spent more than one year writing detailed instructions for the future use of his Beechwood area land. Those instructions were just released by the university and show that Odum's lifelong work with nature is reflected in his plans for development: unpaved pedestrian trails may be constructed only ''by hand.'' No fences may be erected, and more than half the land must always remain as a conservation easement, or greenspace.

   Odum willed the Beechwood land to the UGA Foundation, the private entity that handles donations to the university. Although Odum's specifications for development of his land are not included in his will and therefore not legally binding, UGA will follow his wishes to the fullest extent, said Keith Oelke, executive director of gifts and estate planning for the UGA Foundation.

   Just last week, UGA officials met with Beechwood neighborhood residents, unveiling Odum's plans and assuaging the residents' fears that the land would be developed into high-rise student apartments or something similar, according to Oelke (pronounced El-kie). University officials say they had fielded phone calls from concerned residents, and Oelke said the meeting prompted ''very nice dialogue'' with the neighborhood group.

   Once the title to the land is transferred to the UGA Foundation, the university will begin an open bidding process, said Oelke. The land will be sold as a conservation subdivision, legally binding the developer to the specific regulations set forth by Odum.

   The Oconee River Land Trust will monitor the land ''in perpetuity,'' making sure all future development and activity on the land is in line with Odum's plans.

   ''We accept the responsibility to make sure the terms of the conservation easement go on forever,'' said Sigrid Sanders, executive director of the Oconee River Land Trust. The land trust has the authority to enforce land-use restrictions, and can file a lawsuit if the developer or future residents do not comply.

   Last month the Athens-Clarke County Commission approved a moratorium, effective until March 4, on conservation subdivisions in areas zoned agricultural-residential. Because the Beechwood conservation subdivision is zoned single-family residential, it would be exempt from the moratorium, according to Jane Erwin, a county planner.

   ''It will simply be a case of the (developer) submitting the preliminary plat for review,'' said Erwin, whose first glance at Odum's plans prompted her to say they are ''definitely different from anything else we've seen.''

   In fact, unlike other conservation subdivisions, which usually have houses clustered in one area with greenspace concentrated in another, Odum's plan for his land has greenspace scattered throughout the acreage. The largest plot, 2.57 acres, is the one on which his house currently stands. Another plot sits on 1.64 acres, and the other 11 plots have somewhere between 0.57-acre and 0.61-acre.

   The foundation had not revealed Odum's plans until now, said Oelke, because it had to review them first.

   Gary Barrett, the Odum Professor in UGA's Institute of Ecology, said Odum tweaked the plans for about a year and a half, quite excited about the future of the neighborhood. Barrett, and Odum, known as the father of modern ecology, worked together on the fifth edition of his famous ''Fundamentals of Ecology'' textbook, and Odum even considered including the Beechwood plans in the book.

   ''I could tell he was very pleased with (the plans), and he thought maybe we should include them in the 'Fundamentals of Ecology' book we were working on,'' said Barrett. ''... I think it'll be beautiful when they finish getting it developed.''

   Indeed, the university is also looking forward to the development of the land, as the proceeds from the sale of the land, according to the will, go to the Eugene and William Odum Ecology Fund after $1 million is set aside for a professorial chair at UGA in Odum's name.

   Oelke, who called the land ''the last green island in Clarke County,'' said he expects the land to prove quite valuable.

   ''Not more than two days go by without someone involved in this getting some type of inquiry about this property,'' he said.

Runaway teens await their fate

Posted: Saturday, July 23, 2011

The two Statham 13-year-olds who led police on a day-long manhunt that took them and their stolen pickup truck into the heart of South Carolina are back in Statham and waiting to face the consequences of their joyride.

"They are back at home, and we have turned the case over the to the Juvenile Court," said Statham police Chief Steve Martin.

The teens -- a girl and boy who live near one another -- disappeared overnight Monday with about $6,000 of their parents' money in the girl's mother's white 2001 Ford pickup truck.

Statham police joined by officers from other law enforcement agencies spent Tuesday searching for them.

Police found the teenage couple more than 150 miles from home after they crashed the truck while fleeing South Carolina state troopers, Martin said.

The girl was injured in the crash but had recovered enough later in the week to be released and sent home.

The pair, whose names are withheld because of their age, probably won't face any charges in connection to the chase in South Carolina.

They will, however, face some fairly serious charges in Statham, including theft for taking the truck and the money and additional charges for running away, Martin said.

Court proceedings against the children will be sealed because they are juveniles, Martin said.

Early Week 10 NFL Football Bets

I'm going out of town tomorrow (not back in town until Sunday morning). Sure there is internet on the road, but just in case I'm too busy to look at games, I'm getting some action in early... I really can't miss week 10.

Chicago Bears (over New York Giants)
12-November-2006 5:15 PM PST
Spread +3 for Game -125

Really? Come on! If the Bears didn't lose last week, this line would be Bears -7. And what did the Giants do? They beat Houston. Sure NY is 6-2, but those 2 losses came to good teams. The Giants this year have been very good at beating up the weaker teams (We will not overlook Houston), something the Bears didn't do last week... Well, this week Chicago will be focused. Expect them to win.

The rest are all big home dogs (standard bets):

Tennessee Titans over Baltimore Ravens
12-November-2006 10:00 AM PST
Spread +7 for Game +103

Oakland Raiders over Denver Broncos
12-November-2006 1:05 PM PST
Spread +9.5 for Game -112

Arizona Cardinals over Dallas Cowboys
12-November-2006 1:15 PM PST
Spread +7 for Game -108

That's all for now... I might add some plays (time permitting) with info later in the week.

Good Luck.

The Online Sports Bettor

Okay, the Raiders suck

I saw a lot of value in their line this week, but they are are just bad... Monday night's are strange too... 2 weeks in a row, I've lost on Mondays.

Anyway, finished out the weekend 4-4 on the NFL for +0.49 units (all bet are to win 1 unit unless otherwise stated)

NFL record year to date: 22-19-2, +3.47 units YTD

Fantasy Football: Anothony Thomas

Willis McGahee injured his ribs against the Packers, handing the ball to Anthony Thomas, who rushed for 95 yards on 20 carries. Thomas is likely to be the top waiver wire pickup this week. ...

Thomas is a rumbler who won't be confused with Willis McGahee anytime soon. He'll be a decent runner for the Bills if McGahee misses time with the rib injury. If you need a running back, Thomas is a decent No. 3 option at Indianapolis in Week 10.

Go Raiders!

Today's results and Monday night football pick

4-2 for today, winning all 4 sides, but losing both totals in the NFL. (also Lance Armstrong finished the NYC Marathon)

In fact, every dog I bet not only covered, but won... I should start betting the money line more often. Today's winners: Miami, San Fran, Washington, and the Lions.

I posted the other day that Oakland +7 over Seattle is my best bet this week (with a quick write up). I'm on both the spread and the money line.

Btw, I love fantasy football. I'm killing in one league, and if Doug Gabriel gets over 4 pts tonight (40 yards), it'll be a clean sweep.

Anyway, I'm glad that things are getting on track, and I hope to win (and help you win) some good money from here on out.

Shutter the Silence Photography Project Kick-Off Event 9 February

                A kick-off event for Shutter the Silence, a gallery of photographs capturing the stories of survivors of sexual assault and their allies, will be held Saturday 9 February from 5 - 10 pm at Milwaukee's Art Bar.

                The exhibit , showcasing efforts from a project that began last August by local photographer Leanna Vannarom, includes an arrangement of 100 8 x 10 color images of participants who were photographed holding signs with a revictimizing message from either their perpetrator, friends, family, law enforcement
officials, or society.  Those who volunteered to take part are all shapes and sizes and from all walks of
life.  It seems that no part of society is immune to this variety of violence, and Vannaroom wanted to reach out and
make a statement about it to facilitate the healing process.  With this project, she  "hopes to make a difference by beginning to wipe away the shame and silence our society has cast upon sexual violence," she says.

                "After struggling with my rape for several years, I decided to use what I know and love (my art) as an outlet for my own personal healing.  I decided to hold a photo shoot and give others the opportunity to express themselves and break their silence through art.  I honestly didn't think I'd have such a huge turnout," says Vannarom.

                Participating in Shutter the Silence allows survivors to break their silence and use their voices through an expression of art. "My hope is that it will be one more way for survivors to continue their healing journeys," says Vannarom.  Expressing oneself is a critical step in the journey away from "victim" and towards "survivor".

                "The feedback I've received from both participants and viewers of the project has been truly touching.  I've gotten e-mails and facebook messages thanking me for creating this project and the opportunity to allow them to participate and break their silence," reports Vannarom.  The tragedy is that these incidents have
occurred, but the support received from the community is heartening.  "I was raped 20 yeas ago.  There was so much shame then, and their still is now.  Your projeject allowed me to open up about my assault and the more I talk about it now, the more it frees me.  Thank you for creating this amazing project and allowing me to break my own silence," was a message she received, via e-mail, from one viewer.

                Starting off the night is a THRIVE! Milwaukee Against Sexual Violence meeting from 5 to 6 p.m. which is being held to facilitate activism, brainstorming, and empowerment.  This meeting is open to survivors of sexual assault and their allies, and there is no age requirement as alcohol will not be available.  Starting at 5pm, all attendees must be 21 or accompanied by an adult.  There is no cover charge for either event, but donations are welcome.  Art Bar is located at 722
East Burleigh Street .

JAWSWatch Movie On Putlocker Online "Jaws" Free When a gigantic great white shark begins to menace the small island community of Amity, a police chief, a marine scientist and grizzled fisherman set out to stop it.

Director: Steven Spielberg
Writers    : Peter Benchley (screenplay), Carl Gottlieb (screenplay), 1 more credit »
Stars    : Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss | See full cast and crew

It's a hot summer on Amity Island, a small community whose main business is its beaches. When new Sheriff Martin Brody discovers the remains of a shark attack victim, his first inclination is to close the beaches to swimmers. This doesn't sit well with Mayor Larry Vaughn and several of the local businessmen. Brody backs down to his regret as that weekend a young boy is killed by the predator. The dead boy's mother puts out a bounty on the shark and Amity is soon swamped with amateur hunters and fisherman hoping to cash in on the reward. A local fisherman with much experience hunting sharks, Quint, offers to hunt down the creature for a hefty fee. Soon Quint, Brody and Matt Hooper from the Oceanographic Institute are at sea hunting the Great White shark. As Brody succinctly surmises after their first encounter with the creature, they're going to need a bigger boat.

Rookies Bowness And Howe Head To Ontario

Recent College Graduates Make Pro Debut with Reign

ONTARIO, Calif. –
The Ontario Reign of the ECHL, proud affiliate of the NHL Los Angeles Kings and the AHL Manchester Monarchs, announced today that they have signed rookies RW Ryan Bowness and F Mike Howe to the 2008-09 Reign roster.

Ryan Bowness (BOW-ness), 25, joins the Reign after playing four years with Saint Mary’s University (CIS) in Halifax, NS, where he tallied 13 goals, assisteBowness_Ryan_Head.JPGd on 15 others and accrued 112 penalty minutes during his collegiate career. His best season at Saint Mary’s came during his Junior year when he accumulated 14 points (eight goals and six assists), tallied 40 penalty minutes and was named as the team’s most improved player.

“I am excited to begin the upcoming season with the Reign,” said Bowness. “This is my first year pro and I am glad to be a part of this club. Coach Taylor and the organization came highly recommended and I feel like this team is a perfect fit.”

Ryan, the son of former NHL player and current Vancouver Canucks Associate Coach, Rick Bowness, was named the team co-captain of the Huskies during his senior year. Selected in the eighth round (#236 overall) of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets, Ryan was awarded the Father David Memorial award during his final year at Saint Mary’s. The award is given to the Huskies player that best exemplifies leadership and dedication to Saint Mary’s hockey.

Prior to joining Saint Mary’s, the 6-foot 2-inch, Halifax, NS, native spent four years in the OHL. He played 173 games with the Brampton Battalion from 2000-03, suited up for a 13-game stint in 2003-04 with Brampton and finished out season with the Oshawa Generals (32 games). In 2002-03 Ryan scored 15 goals, assisted on 17 others and tallied 70 penalty minutes, for his best season in the OHL.

Howe_Mike.JPGMike Howe (HOW), 24, comes to the Reign from the University of Minnesota (NCAA) where he played the past four seasons (2004-08). During his time as a Gopher, Mike scored 31 goals, assisted on 34 others (65 points) and accumulated 82 penalty minutes. Mike’s best season at UM came in 2007-08 when he scored seven goals and added 17 assists for 21 points.

During his senior year, Mike was named assistant captain and was awarded the team’s Unsung Hero Award. He ranked third on the team with a plus six rating as well as ranking third in scoring with seven goals on the season. Mike was a member of the WCHA All-Academic team his final three seasons at Minnesota (2005-08) and was named the team’s John Mayasich Outstanding Student Athlete during his sophomore season.

“I am really excited to get into a new program,” said Howe. “This will be a new experience and I am eager to get things rolling. I have heard good things about the city, the new rink and the new team and I am expecting a positive experience.”

Prior to playing at the University of Minnesota, Howe enjoyed a successful USHL career. In 2001-02, he suited up for a 5-game stint with the Omaha Lancers and from 2002-04 he skated for the River City Lancers where he played in 108 games. Over his junior career he scored 62 goals, assisted on 60 others (122 points) and accumulated 70 penalty minutes. His best season came in 2003-04 when he led the league in scoring with 36 goals (42 assists, 78 points) in 56 games, was named the 2004 USHL Player of the Year and the USHL’s Top Forward, and was a member of the first team All-USHL. Mike finished his USHL career with a +39 rating.

“Ryan [Bowness] and Mike [Howe] will be excellent additions to this team,” Reign Head Coach Karl Taylor said. “They are both coming off of good university careers and are looking to begin their professional careers in the ECHL. We are happy to have them as a part of the Reign this season.”

Bowness and Howe join Reign teammates D David Walker, C Jon Francisco, LW Chris Curran, D Ryan Card, F Eric Thomassian, D Andrew Martens, RW Denny Johnston and RW Jon Rheault as the ninth and tenth players inked to the 2008-09 Reign roster.

Began in 1988-89 with five teams playing in four states, the Premier ‘AA’ Hockey League has grown into a coast-to-coast league that will have 23 teams in 16 states and British Columbia playing 828 games from Oct. 17, 2008 to Apr. 4, 2009.

Abstract: The main objectives and findings of this first research report are presented in this chapter. "The Implementation of the Internet in the Spanish Education System: State of Affairs and Future Prospects" is a large-scale research project that seeks to obtain relevant data about the introduction and dissemination of Information and Communication Technology, particularly the internet, in the practical and organizational general procedures of the Spanish schools and high schools. The project articulates the processes of ICT implementation on the primary and secondary education levels embracing a holistic approach, propped up by an empirical and analytical research methodology. Thus, our survey does not intend to detect which is the impact of ICT on school activities but how all the agents involved in the school community incorporate ICT and what use they make of it. We are especially interested in identifying the teachers' pedagogical and professional uses of ICT, how students use it in their activities and to what extent it contributes in reinforcing teamwork and participation proceedings in the institutions, as well as the relations between the latter and their context. It is also of our interest to know the factors that exert the strongest influence on the way teachers, head teachers and students make use of ICT. Finally, we intend to identify the ways ICT may contribute to the improvement of educational practices.

890 F2d 416 Meade v. Director Office of Workers' Compensation Program United States Department of Labor

890 F.2d 416

Ishmael MEADE, Petitioner-Appellant,

No. 89-3164.

United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

Dec. 1, 1989.

Unpublished Disposition
NOTICE: Sixth Circuit Rule 24(c) states that citation of unpublished dispositions is disfavored except for establishing res judicata, estoppel, or the law of the case and requires service of copies of cited unpublished dispositions of the Sixth Circuit.

Before KENNEDY and RYAN, Circuit Judges, and GEORGE CLIFTON EDWARDS, Jr., Senior Circuit Judge.

Claimant Ishmael Meade appeals the final order of the Benefits Review Board denying him benefits under the Black Lung Benefits Act, 20 U.S.C. Sec. 901 et seq. Benefits were denied after the Board found that claimant's medical evidence did not establish that his pneumoconiosis was "in and of itself totally disabling;" he failed to establish "total disability due to pneumoconiosis" under 20 C.F.R. Sec. 718.204(c)(4). The Board held that claimant was required to show that his disability was caused solely by pneumoconiosis. In Adams v. Director, OWCP, No. 88-3946 (6th Cir. September 29, 1989), we expressly rejected interpretation of the phrase "due to" in the regulation to mean "in and of itself." Id. at 13. Rather, we held that the phrase "due to" in section 718.204 means "at least in part." The court held that "in order to qualify for benefits under Part 718, a miner, who is found to suffer from pneumoconiosis under section 718.204(c), must affirmatively establish only that his totally disabling respiratory impairment ... was due 'at least in part' to his pneumoconiosis." Id. at 15. Claimant presented medical evidence that he suffered from pneumoconiosis, in addition to bronchitis, a history of tuberculosis and hypertension. We were advised by counsel for the Director that he acquiesces on the Adams' standard.

We therefore REVERSE and REMAND to the Board for consideration under the appropriate standard. The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) decided the case based on his finding that claimant failed to prove that he was "totally disabled due to pneumoconiosis." Claimant's physician was not able to apportion claimant's functional limitations among his various ailments. Under Adams ' standard, such apportionment is unnecessary. He was not asked, however, whether claimant had a respiratory impairment which totally disabled him from coal mine employment. Because a finding of total disability is required to receive benefits, Zimmerman v. Director, OWCP, 871 F.2d 564, 566 (6th Cir.1989), the matter must be remanded to the ALJ to determine whether claimant is "totally disabled" from coal mine employment by reason of a respiratory condition. We reject claimant's argument that where the medical evidence is insufficient to establish that he suffers from a totally disabling respiratory impairment or some other nonrespiratory impairment, he is nevertheless entitled to benefits. Adams did not so hold and the statute clearly states that the total disability from mine work must stem from a respiratory impairment.

Accordingly, the judgment of the Benefits Review Board is REVERSED and REMANDED.

Coherence properties of exciton-polariton OPO condensates in one and two dimensions

Publication: Research - peer-reviewJournal article – Annual report year: 2012

View graph of relations

We give an overview of the coherence properties of exciton-polariton condensates generated by optical parametric scattering. Different aspects of the first-order coherence (g((1))) have been investigated. The spatial coherence extension of a two-dimensional (2D) polariton system, below and at the parametric threshold, demonstrates the development of a constant phase coherence over the entire condensate, once the condensate phase transition takes place. The effect on coherence of the photonic versus excitonic nature of the condensates is also examined. The coherence of a quasi-1D trap, composed of a line defect, is studied, showing the detrimental effect of reduced dimensionality on the establishment of the long range order. In addition, the temporal coherence decay, g((1))(tau), reveals a fast decay in contrast with the 2D case. The situation of a quasi-1D condensate coexisting with a 2D one is also presented.

Market Overview

Earnings Expectations for the Week of April 9 (AA, GOOG, JPM)

First quarter earnings begin to trickle in as Alcoa kicks off the new earnings season this week. It will be followed in short order by results from Google, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo and others. Investors looking for signs indicating how first-quarter earnings will shake out may be pleased with the anticipated earnings growth from Google and Wells Fargo, but not so much by the expected earnings decline from JP Morgan and the net loss from Alcoa. That assumes that the analysts' forecasts are correct, of course. Here is a look at what analysts are looking for in this week's most prominent reports.

The consensus forecast for leading global producer of aluminum Alcoa (NYSE: AA) calls for a net loss of $0.04 per share and revenues of $5.8 billion. That compares to earnings of $0.28 per share and sales of $5.9 billion in the first quarter of last year. That EPS forecast is the same as it was 60 days ago. Alcoa has not offered a positive surprise in the past three quarters, but before that beat estimates for five quarters in a row. The company is scheduled to announce its results Tuesday afternoon.

In its Thursday report, earnings from Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) are estimated to be $9.64 per share for the first quarter. That would be a year-over-year increase of 16.2%. And note that 60 days ago the consensus EPS estimate was $9.57. Revenues are expected to total $8.1 billion, which would be 24.4% higher. And both EPS and sales also are expected to be sequentially and year-over-year higher in the current quarter. But note that Google fell short of analysts' estimates in two of the past six quarters, including a miss of almost a dollar per share in the fourth quarter.

First-quarter 2012 earnings from JP Morgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), one of the largest banks in the U.S., are estimated to total $1.15 per share on revenues of $24.6 billion in Friday's report. In the same quarter of last year, the New York-based company posted $1.28 per share and $25.8 billion. But sixty days ago, the consensus forecast called for EPS of just $1.10. Analysts also anticipate a year-over-year slump of both EPS and revenue in the current quarter. JP Morgan has not fallen short of consensus EPS estimates in more than eight quarters.

Also on Friday, San Francisco-based Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) is expected to announce that its first-quarter 2012 earnings came to $0.72 per share on revenues of $20.4 billion. That would be up from $0.67 per share and $20.3 billion in the same period of last year. That EPS estimate is unchanged from 60 days ago, and the consensus estimate for the current quarter has EPS sequentially and year-over-year higher. Note that analysts' estimates have come within a penny or two of EPS results in the past five quarters.

Supermarket operator SUPERVALU's (NYSE: SVU) fourth-quarter fiscal 2012 earnings are forecast to have fallen nine cents per share from a year ago to $0.35. Full-year EPS are expected to have fallen 11.5% to $1.23. Both EPS estimates are two cents lower than 90 days ago. And analysts anticipate revenues for the quarter will have fallen 4.0% to $8.3 billion, and for the full year they will be down 4.8% to $35.7 billion. The company is on tap to share results Tuesday morning.

Analysts expect nuts and bolts maker Fastenal's (NASDAQ: FAST) first-quarter earnings in Thursday's report to be 22.9% higher than a year ago to $0.35 per share. The company has not fallen short of consensus EPS estimates in the past eight quarters. Revenues are expected to be up 19.8% from a year ago to $767.6 million. Also, both EPS and sales for the current quarter are expected to be higher sequentially as well as year over year.

Here is a peek at what analysts expect from some other companies reporting this week:

  • ADTRAN (NASDAQ: ADTN): Q1 EPS down 61.5% to $0.20 and sales down 18.9% to $134.3 million
  • Bank of Ozarks (NASDAQ: OZRK): Q1 EPS up 15.7% to $0.51 and sales up 24.7% to $60.2 million
  • Greenbrier Companies (NYSE: GBX): Q2 EPS, from a year-ago loss, to $0.47 and sales up 55.3% to $444.5 million
  • Layne Christensen (NASDAQ: LAYN): a Q4 loss of $3.77 per share and sales down 3.5% to $262.2 million
  • LDK Solar (NYSE: LDK): a Q4 loss of $0.72 per share and sales down 50.3% to $432.4 million
  • Titan Machinery (NASDAQ: TITN): Q4 EPS down 8.8% to $0.52 but sales up 17.7% to $433.3 million

View Full Version : Avatar i did using GIMP

01-20-2012, 01:57 AM
My current avatar is the one i just finished with GIMP..still can't figure out how to only use the image and not have to flatten it so it has a bg, or at least leave it with a transparent bg~
but other than not knowing how to do that I removed the bg from the original image and free selected his sword and changed the hue of it. I used the smudge tool to blend in the outline of Raziel with what i couldn't erase of the old bg. O and I also inverted the sword after i changed the hue of it so it has a black interior.

Original Image below

01-20-2012, 02:45 AM
Hmmm did you turn your alpha channel on and did you save it as a png?

01-20-2012, 02:54 AM
i did, whenever i goto save it it says GIMP PNG plug-in cannot handle layer offset, et cetera.

01-20-2012, 03:15 AM
Well I just did a really quick render using GIMP, and my image turned out to be transparent.

Are you sure you added the Alpha Channel to your layer? If possible, can you describe the steps you did?

01-20-2012, 03:16 AM
hmmm, maybe I'm missing files, I have never had this problem before.

01-20-2012, 03:19 AM
Nothing like a little re-install can't handle if that's the case. The thing is, this isn't the first time I've seen this happen to people, so I just was curious to find out what happened here.

01-20-2012, 03:44 AM
i don't understand, i re installed it, went through it again and merged visible layers and the image shows on my pc as a pic with a transparent bg but everytime i post it on OS it ends up with a white bg >.<
so now im going to try a hosting site.
well the hosting site didn't work either, lets see if it shows transparent in the post at least...if it doesn't im gonna just go pass out for a few hrs >.>

Alright! Problem solved! Proportions were larger than 180 height so i had to re-size it. Otherwise GIMP is perfect and its FREE!
ty for the assist!

01-20-2012, 04:02 AM
Hmmm. This is the exact same problem I've seen with others who upload .png avatars made with GIMP.

I still havent figured out why this happens, so I can only suggest a work-around option. Just use the forum background color (#1b1b1b) as the background layer -- it's not transparency, but it works.
nvm LOL I forgot about that haha. I was focused too much on the software end that I forgot about the actual uploading part :d

01-20-2012, 04:04 AM
I figured it out, check out my previous post, i edited it how I fixed it, turns out it was quite simple.

01-21-2012, 08:13 AM
I made a new avatar using GIMP once again, let me know what you think...
