Things weren't going her way Thursday, but Hartland pitcher Rachel Everett wasn’t rattled.
East Lansing – Things weren't going her way Thursday, but Hartland pitcher Rachel Everett wasn’t rattled.
Everett, only a freshman, was pitching in the Division 1 semifinals at Michigan State and Howell scored two runs in the first inning and was threatening for more.
But Everett got two hitters out to end the threat, settled down, and eventually, the game turned for Everett and the Eagles.
Hartland scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, added two more big runs in the sixth -- the first-inning trouble seemed miles away -- and defeated Howell 6-4.
“I was just excited to get the game started,” said Everett, who allowed nine hits (four in the first inning), and one walk, while striking out five. “I was excited to play with my team. We’ve made it so far and we’re not done yet.
Brooke Cowan had three hits for Hartland (33-5), including a two-run single in the fourth-inning uprising, as the Eagles made it to the state finals for the first time since 1996.
Hartland put pressure on Howell’s defense in the fourth inning, playing “small ball,” and the strategy worked.
“We shook things up a little bit,” Eagles coach Bob Greene said. “Sometimes you have to do that to manufacture some runs, and make the defense make plays.
Howell (29-11) got off to a quick start against Everett but couldn’t get much more offense going, and allowed the big fourth inning.
“The way we’ve been playing, I didn’t think we’d give up four runs in an inning,” coach Ron Pezzoni said. “Hartland did some good things, there were a couple of balls that took some bounces, and we lost a little focus maybe for a hitter or two, and it snowballed.

This script is for importing/exporting hair and clothing into Blender 3D 2.6. I would appreciate any help in testing and comments/suggestions.
Note: Download is now a zip file, and Blender can install directly without extracting.
1. Download the "io_TS3_geom.zip" and put it where you can find it.
5. Navigate to where you extracted the file and select the "io_TS3_geom.zip" and click "Install Add-On". Sims 3 GEOM Import is added to the the list.
6. Click the check box to the right of the TS3 Tools in the list. The importer is added to the File->Import menu, and the TS3 GEOM Tools panel is added to the Properties Editor under Scene.
Start Blender, and in the Properties editor under Scene, click the Import button in the TS3 GEOM Tools panel or go to File->Import->Sims 3 GEOM. Navigate to the your folder and select the .simgeom file. You can also import more than one file at once.
In the Import Geom options(in the left panel towards the bottom) select the rig to be used with the GEOM(if you don't have the Rig Editor, no rig will be loaded, but GEOM will still load).
With the GEOM mesh selected, click the Export button in the TS3 GEOM Tools panel or go to File->Export->Sims 3 GEOM. Then select the original file in the browser. The original file will be made into a .bak file, and a new file will be created with the original name.
-committed rig import with GEOM. Download is now a .zip file, since Blender can install from zip and put everything where it needs to go.
Okay, I installed it and loaded a .simgeom. Yay!
Okay, now it filters for .simgeom and removes itself from the menu when disabled. Now that you mentioned it, I need to to that to the my other tools. Thanks, lenglel.
seperate from the rest of the head.
it, but I'm not ruling it out. What do you think?
Okay, I got that worked out, so those meshes should import without error and with proper assignments/weighting.
Busy coping with latest patch, will get back to this.

EDIT: The GEOM import also disappears from the import tab once blender has been shut down, it has to be re-loaded from user preferences on every start up.
I've updated to remove that error. It wasn't hurting the mesh any, more of a UI problem.
As for the script reloading, if you want it to be there when you open Blender, you have to save you user preferences after you enable the script. Don't save it in the User Preferences window. Just start Blender, open the User preferences window and enable the script. Then close the User Preferences window, and go to File->Save user settings.
So far I'm having no issue loading clothing, As you said, the bone assignments are correct. Sadly, I'm not really well versed on what I should be looking for error wise. I'll keep playing around and report any issues, unless there's another way I could be helpful.
Thanks, pandaseal. Really, if there is an error, Blender will happily let you know, believe me. I just needed to know that it is working on various CAS parts before I moved on to the exporter.
I got an error when I try to import this specific hair .simgeom file. I tried a couple other .simgeom hairs before and was fine (with blender 2.49 and the geom script) but for this hair I got errors from both 2.49 and 2.59 and hair won't load. Maybe someone can try the file and see if i'm doing anything wrong? I extracted the .package with s3pe.
Something is wrong with the GEOMs in that package.
Is there any kind of feedback in particular you are looking for? I've been messing around in Blender a little, and I would love to help if I can. I'm using a mac, I don't know if that matters or not though.
I have the same problems. So far, I've only gotten this thing to work with clothes meshes for bottoms and tops. Full-body clothes meshes don't work with this addon for me. I've tested this with at least 3 dresses, 1 EA-made and 2 custom made, with the same results - the same errors you recieved with the hair and none of the dresses showed up in Blender.
Are you going to do the export? Please do it!

If I read the thread right, there wasn't enough feedback coming in for the plugin he was trying to create for him to keep going.
I think I read that in another thread in the forums.
If you really want to keep creating, you could get the older version of Blender and get the import/export plugins for that version. I am doing that. Milkshape isn't worth 35 dollars at the moment. I don't know if that is still a valid option. I read it somewhere that you could do that.
Then it comes here because that one was outdated.
Actually, I have been working pretty hard on the export part, but I've run into some problems with clothes, so I'm not ready to sharing it for testing yet. I do having it working for accessories though, I made these glasses while testing.
So far it seems to work without any problems.

Although it wasn’t discussed in depth, I observe that big data is especially poignant to retailers for two reasons: they have extremely rich internal, proprietary transaction data on customers (loyalty cards, credit cards, returns information, call center information, service information) and retail customers are the most free-wheeling online. Retail customers discuss their experiences in situations in which they use most types of products. This gives retailers priceless information: the social context in which customers are using products to attain outcomes.
Eric—Future of retailing in early stages, but it’s a tectonic shift, like the Internet in the 1990s; Amazon is a huge influencer. Omni-channel, driven by digital and mobile, is the destination of all retailers. Two key drivers: smartphones and big data & analytics. Retailers need to understand and move, incorporate these into business strategy and business process changes.
Mohammad—Here’s a recent example. My wife was shopping for shoes at 9 West and didn’t find anything she liked. As we were leaving, an associate with an iPad approached and encouraged her to browse their entire inventory, complete with customer reviews. She ended up pre-ordering a pair. This shows that physical and online are blurring, even though it’s still early days. It’s a new territory that retailers need to test on their own.
Jeffrey—Retailers can build in switching costs with exclusive products and by offering long tail products. 30-40% of Amazon sales are not available in any local retailers; they are long tail products (specific, niche). Retailers [can use omni-channel] to sell excess merchandise, long tail products and mid tail products (not quite as niche but not mainstream). Customers can’t find products in stores. Home Depot enables customers to use apps to search the retail store, to find things.
Eric—Now stores get what people want, like ecommerce [because they are finally digitizing]. Amazon never had stores, and it’s different for retailers with stores. Video cameras, digital data and analytics are changing the game for physiical retailers. For example, Catalina Marketing has a solution that delivers personalized ads to customers as they navigate stores. [In effect, it gives the store the same advantages etailers have had.] It’s hightech and high touch. Retailers can counter showrooming with iPads and putting their entire inventory in front of customers.
Mohammad—An opt-in solution enables retailers to use video to detect shoppers’ moods and responses to store stimuli. Privacy? Yes, it’s an issue, Nordstrom backed off its customer tracking program this spring after customers got upset that the retailer was using their smartphones to “follow” them around stores. They have to create value to align customers with them (retailer).
Erik—There’s definitely a creep factor. Retailers can push restaurant reviews, personalized promotions in stores via smartphones. In-store ads, though, are visible to everyone around customers. For certain products, this could be embarrassing, hemorrhoid creams, etc. There are generation issues. It will require a culture shift. Most people don’t know how much information banks, retail and and NSA already have on them. Organizations with the information need to get permission by creating value propoisitions for customers.
Jeffrey—This goes beyond recommendations for existing products; retailers can use digital information to design products that people will like, working with manufacturers. Amazon gets authors to write for them. They can target specific products.
Mohammad—Make the store cross-platform. Customers like stores.
Erik—Retailers must be truly omni-channel, not defensive, they should embrace all channels, don’t try to hide. Create [customer] experience. It’s not either or. The control of customer data is a hard issue, like Facebook [only worse because data is everywhere]. It’s even more critical in healthcare.
Erik—Analytics are the new currency among retailer and manufacturer. Brands can use it to negotiate shelf space. Brands partner with MIT for analytics. Who owns the data?.. the retailer, the manufacturer, the distributor?
Erik on the future of retail—Augmented Reality (AR) and Google Glass and Amazon Flow. Mobile and analytics are key now, and AR will be in the future.
Mohammad on the future of retail—Exclusive products are key. Consumers have low search costs. Retailers should welcome competition and strive to create real value for customers. It will be a winner-take-all situation.
Jeffrey on the future of retail—Product bundling is another potential differentiator because customers can only get that bundle at that retailer. Amazon Subscribe and Save program offers 15% savings [by offering products by subscription]. Amazon Prime increases switching costs.
Here are some of my thoughts on these topics; all quotes in this section are from Competing in the Age of Omnichannel Retailing.
There’s no there there—because “there” is everywhere. To win in this environment, retailers must dive deep into customer experience. This used to be a marketing slogan, but now it’s a reality. The product channel (getting the product) offers minimal value for a huge and growing portion of customers. Yet most retailers are still product-focused.
Retailers can win the hearts of customers by diving into the emotional depths of experience. For example, people shopping for wedding clothes are often excited, upset and tense. The clothes are usually a desire to build or maintain reputation in the eyes of family or (new) in-laws. By looking at customers’ Facebook and Twitter posts, retailers can be more empathic. The cloud can analyze and deliver relevant information to associates via iPad or, soon, Google Glasses, automagically. The technology is not the point; caring is.
Technologies are giving physical retail stores many of the advantages that etailers have long enjoyed; however, there is a double standard: most people don’t feel physically threatened by cookies on websites, but they do object to facial recognition and “stalking” in retail locations. This is a simple fact that retailers will have to accept.
Trust is the key to transforming retailer relationships with customers. Trust means transformation because the retailer needs to give customer experience a far higher priority than it does now. Consistently. This means relating to people as individuals, at scale. As I argue in Personal Individualized Experience, business is becoming personal, so businesses need to learn how to relate to people personally yet appropriately. Digital social applications are ideal for this.
The technologies and solutions to help retailers are proliferating like rabbits. Here are some I’ve encountered.
“Manufacturers who supply products to retailers may no longer be able to produce large volumes of the same product for different retailers.” As I have long argued, mass customization will come to dominate. But that doesn’t even address a far more disruptive future, additive manufacturing. I predict that micro-manufacturers with 3D printing shops will change people’s expectations of what a product is. In most categories, products will be personalized. I observe that we are in the post product age.
Retailers will benefit from thinking of their products and services in new ways. “Consumer loyalty tends to be higher for ‘experience goods’ (goods whose value can only be assessed after they are purchased) than for ‘search goods’ (goods that can be assessed before purchase based on objective criteria).” The latter are commoditized, almost by definition. However, retailers that know how to differentiate in the social channel can sell “search goods” at high margins because they focus on helping customers to use goods to attain the outcomes they want.
For more insights, here is my reflection on The Future of the Retail Store in the Omni-Channel Age.

FREDERICTON--“Premier Alward’s world-class regulations on shale gas mining have failed their first major test,” says Dr. Jean Louis Deveau, chair of the Fredericton Chapter of the Council of Canadians.
On February 7th, Corridor Resources registered with the government’s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) registry a proposal to propane frack four exisiting wells in Penobsquis sometime in July. This is Phase III of a three-phase project. Corridor’s short announcement was published in one small newspaper on February 11, but apparently nowhere else. The word fracking did not appear in the newspaper ad.
“The problem is this ‘phased EIA’ process is not designed to require a company to submit a formal environmental impact assessment which would trigger public hearings on their proposal,” says Deveau.
In addition, according to a floodplain map of New Brunswick, two of the wellpads scheduled for fracking by Corridor lie on the 20 year floodplain of the Kennebecasis River. Corridor’s EIA registration document, now available on its own website does not appear to take this into consideration. This is problematic as the new rules for industry released in February 2013 place restrictions on shale gas mining in floodplains.
Energy Minister Craig Leonard even said last September that shale gas mining in flood zone areas would have to go “through a full EIA." The phased EIA now underway will likely allow Corridor to frack without any of us ever knowing how the public and the waters of the Kennebecasis River are to be safeguarded in the event of flooding," said Deveau.
It has been learned that the NB Chief Medical Officer's health report on shale gas has been ready for about a week. The government appears to be delaying its release.
Please find below the draft text of an e-mail YOU can send to your MLA!
Please forward wide and far to your friends.
I just learned that the Health Study on Shale Gas has been completed by Dr. Eilish Cleary, the chief medical officer of health in New Brunswick. It is my understanding that Dr. Cleary submitted her report to the Alward government about one week ago, and that the report was scheduled to be released in September 2012.
1. The Alward government should take care to release the report immediately and to neither delay nor censor it.
2. The MLAs hold meaningful public consultation on whether to allow or disallow shale gas development in New Brunswick. This consultation should start with legislative hearings, and later include public meetings on the government's final recommendations.
It will be very troubling to our democracy if either of these two steps is not forthcoming.
All discussion and decisions on shale gas regulations are premature.
It is my understanding that the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Eilish Cleary, has developed recommendations on the shale gas industry "at preventing or mitigating potential adverse public health effects associated with the industry".
In the CBC interview with Dr. Cleary (see reference below), she explained that the health study would document how the industry could impact human health, how to mitigate or prevent the risks, as well as how to measure the actual impact of the industry on the health of New Brunswickers if the shale gas industry was to proceed in this province.
Dr. Cleary said she would make recommendations in each of the following 4 areas: (1) Physical risks; (2) Risks to the community and mental health; (3) Risks from exposure to environmental sources; and (4) Risks to the long-term health of the population.
Furthermore, the public has not yet been consulted on whether or not the province should move forward with shale gas exploration and fracking. Dr. Louis LaPierre publicly admitted, at the shale gas regulations meeting in Norton, NB on July 04, 2012, that the mandate given to him by your government did not include the ability to recommend a moratorium or ban on shale gas development.
Lastly, during a speech delivered in Moncton last October, Premier David Alward advised that Members of the Legislative Assembly would be organizing town hall and information meetings later that month “to hear directly from their constituents on this important issue."
We have a right to know and to be properly consulted.
I look forward to an honest and open discussion of all the health, environmental, and economic implications of shale gas development in New Brunswick.
On May 17, the provincial government released documents containing new measures and recommendations on the oil and gas industry in New Brunswick. The documents, prepared by the Natural Gas Group, include 116 recommendations to ensure the environmentally responsible management of the industry, and are divided into short-term (104) and long-term (12). In addition, the government announced it will put in place a maximum fine of $1 million for breaches of the Oil and Natural Gas Act.
The Natural Gas group is now seeking feedback on the new measures and recommendations, and the public is invited to provide comments until July 18, 2012.Led by environmental expert Professor Louis LaPierre, the group will be conducting a citizen engagement tour across the province to collect feedback on the discussion paper. Stopping in selected communities across New Brunswick, they will offer a public open house as well as a public meeting, where citizens will be allowed to ask questions regarding exploration, development or other topics of interest.
The documents are available for download and can be found in the shale gas area of our public consultations page.
The Natural Gas Group is also open to meeting privately with groups or associations, who are asked to e-mail their requests.

« Le but de la marche et du rassemblement de mardi est de se rappeler à la mémoire les pétitions des 20 000 NéoBrunswickois qui ont été ignorées, mais qui demandent la cessation immédiate de l’exploration et de l’exploitation par méthode non traditionnelle du gaz naturel, » affirme Julia Linke du chapitre Fredericton du Conseil des Canadiens. « Cela veut dire l’arrêt immédiat des explorations pour les gaz de schiste, la fin des émissions de tous nouveaux permis et du renouvèlement des permis existants, » précise Dr. Linke.
Le mardi 27 novembre, des groupes et des citoyens vont se rappeler le rassemblement de l’an dernier et démontrer leur solidarité avec les 20 000 personnes dont les signatures ont été ignorées, en participant à une marche à Fredericton pour interdire la fracturation. Cette marche pacifique va commencer à 11 h au vieux cimetière et se terminera avec un rassemblement entre midi et 13 heures devant l’édifice de l’Assemblée nationale.

FREDERICTON– This Tuesday, November 5th at lunch hour, the Council of Canadians will be joined by citizens, community groups, Church organizations, unions and professional associations from throughout the Maritimes and other regions at the provincial legislature for the Unity and Solidarity Rally. Rally goers will be delivering a message to Premier Alward that all shale gas exploration and development must be halted and that the New Brunswick government must begin listening to all people about the future they want, based on his government’s duty to consult and in the spirit of true democracy.
“The Alward Government must reopen dialogue and have a genuine conversation around issues surrounding our natural resources”, says Terry Wishart, a member of the Fredericton Chapter of the Council of Canadians. “Part of this discussion has to be about the unsustainable projects they continue to pursue while many countries and jurisdictions have firmly stated their opposition to extreme resource development like shale gas and oil. Others are realizing significant increases in jobs by laying the groundwork for the resource development of wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, biogas and their forests”, Wishart points out.
One of David Alward's promises during the 2010 provincial election was citizen engagement, yet the Premier– who is also the Minister of Citizen Engagement and Aboriginal Affairs – has demonstrated his contempt for public consultation, consent, and aboriginal treaty rights. Premier Alward has refused to meet with the Wabanaki people in a traditional place of North American democracy, the Longhouse, which now rests on the banks of the Saint John River, across the street from the Provincial legislature, and was constructed for such a meeting.
As Leader of the Opposition on April 6th 2010, David Alward spoke frankly about the consequences of shale gas development on water contamination, saying, "Many problems have been reported because of [fracking] companies. Significant contamination of people's drinking water is taking place. We know that, in the United States, companies are not required to provide the information.” Government, health and academic studies document additional environmental hazards of the industry, like severe air contamination and impacts on human health, including accelerated rates of cancer and childhood asthma.
“Today Premier Alward claims he was elected with a mandate to develop shale gas. His minister of energy, Craig Leonard, says that shale gas opponents are ‘ridiculous’ or he resorts to calling us names. They discount the real facts and ignore citizens who are petitioning for public meetings and asking some very important questions”, states Council of Canadians member, Dr. Caroline Lubbe-D’Arcy. “Shale gas and hydraulic fracturing were never mentioned in their platform. In fact they avoided any mention of it in the platform’s ‘Energy Plan’, yet renewable energy and efficiency are included”, adds Lubbe-D’Arcy.
Critics charge that in the wake of Mr. Louis Lapierre’s fraud, the Alward government is also lying in order to justify moving ahead with their plans for a shale gas industry. They point out that the Alward government is following suit with the Harper Government by diluting or changing laws based on industry requirements, and are thwarting the efforts of citizen groups that work to shine a light on their failure to adequately consult with the public on shale gas.
“We hope David Alward will respect democracy and renew constructive dialogue with the Wabanaki and all peoples on the direction and future of New Brunswick” says Wishart.
from Shale Formations. This is important information for New Brunswickers to know during this time of discussion and debate around the development of the industry.
Mnister of Environment, Margaret Ann Blaney, responds to the report in a CBC news article providing insight to NB government's stance on the issue.
FREDERICTON– The Fredericton Chapter of the Council of Canadians is stunned by Premier Alward’s comments suggesting that adequate consultations have taken place between his government and Indigenous Peoples on the issue of shale gas.
“That is not what I heard at a meeting last night with members of the Wabanaki Confederacy which included Harry Laporte, Grand Chief of the Maliseet First Nation,” says Dr. Jean Louis Deveau, Chair, Fredericton Chapter of the Council of Canadians.
Deveau, who completed his doctoral studies on the duty to consult and accommodate persons with disabilities in the workplace, believes that Premier Alward is misleading New Brunswickers on this issue.
The Fredericton Chapter of the Council of Canadians believes that hydraulic fracturing (fracking) cannot be done safely, and is calling for a ban on the practice in New Brunswick.
Le Nouveau-Brunswick ne s’est pas doté d’une Charte des droits environnementaux qui reconnaîtrait l’eau comme un droit fondamental et garantirait à ses citoyens et à ceux des Premières Nations le droit à un environnement sain, comprenant de l’eau propre, de l’air pur et des sols non contaminés.
Que des rencontres privées entre le gouvernement et des groupes de l’industrie, défrayées par les contribuables, telles que la Conférence Exploration et exploitation minière et pétrolière au Nouveau-Brunswick 2012 qui a eu lieu à Fredericton du 4 au 6 novembre 2012, ont pour effet de décourager les Néo-Brunswickoisde s’exprimer contre le développement du combustible fossile et d’empêcher d’autres solutions de se développer et de se réaliser.
Que le gouvernement donne la priorité à l’adoption d’une déclaration des droits environnementaux, enchâssant ainsi les droits des citoyens à de l’air pur, à de l’eau propre et à des terres non contaminées, pour le bien des générations actuelles et futures.
Curiously, Minister of Health Ted Flemming, Dr. LaPierre, geologist Adrian Park and some letter-to–the-editor writers use identical language to claim that opponents of shale gas rely on inaccurate data from the film Gasland, and indulge in hysterical fear mongering.
How dishonest, hypocritical and desperate! Unable to convince the public about the wonders of shale gas, they attempt to discredit the opposition.
Gasland served as a wake-up call several years ago, but has been superseded by much history and science. I can’t remember any public forum in two years where it was cited as a reference.
Shale opponents cite Dr. Anthony Ingraffea, international expert in rock fracturing, peer-reviewed scientific studies in prestigious journals, the US EPA, the Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, government records of violations, and the industry’s own reports of failure.
We cite the only long-term public health study by the University of Colorado, and The Endocrine Disruption Exchange on the toxicity of fracking chemicals. We point to the scholarly report done by New Brunswick’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Eilesh Cleary, which notes that we know almost nothing about shale’s public health threats.
Recent peer-reviewed studies from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Colorado are cited showing that shale worsens climate-change.
Economists, financial analysts, science-based non-profit organizations, and the testimonies of people affected by shale gas from across North America are our sources. We’ve brought many expert speakers to the New Brunswick public.
Where are the voices for the pro side? We hear only from gas-producing interests. Where are the independent studies proving that wells don’t leak, that water doesn’t get contaminated and air isn’t polluted, that there are no health problems, that methane isn’t leaking, that fracking chemicals aren’t toxic/carcinogenic, that roads aren’t destroyed, that quality of life doesn’t suffer, that shale gas’s boom and bust economic shell game doesn’t leave a place worse off? The silence is deafening.
We offered to debate publicly, but government and industry were no-shows.
The government merely repeats the totally false and unsupported idea that shale gas is our only economic hope. Talk about fear mongering propaganda.
The Opposition Energy Critic says that the discontinuation of the Energy Institute will stop the examination of the science surrounding shale gas. Energy and Mines Minister Donald Arseneault says that New Brunswick’s shale commission could approve development. Neither of these two political smokescreens reflects the actual rigorous scientific examinations of shale gas occurring elsewhere.
New Brunswickers know that our neighbours, Quebec and Nova Scotia, passed lasting moratoria following their reviews. The state of Maryland just enacted an additional two-and-a-half-year moratorium based on a review conducted by their highly regarded university system’s public health school.
But the most thorough review was undertaken by the state of New York. It had already declared a moratorium based on a previous public health review. Last week, after completing a ‘seven-year’ Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), they essentially banned shale development. All these jurisdictions reached similar conclusions, but New York’s extraordinary effort deserves quoting.
In other words, there are many serious risks needing much more study, the number and severity of the risks is continually increasing, and the effectiveness of mitigation and control efforts are questionable.
A Compendium by the Concerned Health Professionals of NY. ( con cernedhealthny.org ).
Physicians, Scientists and Engineers for Healthy Energy. ( pse healthyenergy.org ).
Since these reviews, alarming studies covering health effects, wastewater disposal, water well contamination, air pollution, radon, and earthquakes continue to appear weekly.
One such comes from medical research about ‘endocrine disruptors.’ These are chemicals that in miniscule quantities act on the body’s hormone system, causing developmental, immune system and reproductive diseases. Children and pregnant women are particularly at risk.
A new review of the science about them concluded,“Many of the air and water pollutants found near (Unconventional Oil and Gas) operation sites are recognized as being developmental and reproductive toxicants, and therefore there is a compelling need to increase our knowledge of the potential health consequences for adults, infants, and children from these chemicals.” ( www.degruyter.com ).
Another study found that several endocrine-disrupting chemicals commonly used in gas production caused disease at a tiny fraction of the levels considered ‘safe’ by current standards. It also found that levels of these chemicals in the“air near oil and gas development can be orders of magnitude higher than exposures for which we found health effects.”( pubs.acs. org ) As to the questionable effectiveness of mitigation efforts, the Council of Canadian Academies already noted that neither the government nor industry adequately monitor shale development. Therefore, without scientific data, no jurisdiction can claim its ‘world-class’ regulations are based on science. Industry-defined ‘best practices’ are not scientific guarantees of safety or effectiveness.
The clear trends in the scientific review of shale gas are the increased identification of risks, and the resulting increase in bans and moratoriums. The few studies that our Energy Institute could complete in our one-year moratorium would have little effect on trends based on hundreds of studies. The Institute’s reputable scientists deserve thanks for doing some worthwhile baseline studies, but existing departments such as Environment and Health can direct such research.
The Institute had a problem beyond its ethically questionable founding by the former PC government and the now discredited Dr. LaPierre. If it had been intended to be an ‘Energy’institute, its mandate would have been to examine all energy options and help choose the best one, rather than to simply make shale gas palatable to the citizenry.
Our current Commission,staffed by volunteers,with only a travel budget and a less-than- one-year window,will work in the shadows of jurisdictions who conducted multi-year reviews with paid researchers,multi-million dollar budgets, and extensive human resources.
It is almost inconceivable that our Commission could reach a different conclusion. To contradict the now well-established scientific evidence of unacceptable risk, it would require truly extraordinarily difficult public explanations and levels of proof.
Please see a correction and apology on page A2.
A June 12 letter to the editor questioned the truthfulness and motivations of Jim Emberger, spokesperson for the New Brunswick Anti-Shale Gas Alliance, including an assertion that his is a paid position.In fact,Mr.Emberger is a volunteer. Further,we have no information that Mr. Emberger has been untruthful.
We regret these statements were published unchecked, and apologize to Mr. Emberger.

There are only a handful of plays that stay viable throughout generations. After a few decades, even the most venerable classics wear out their welcome or lack the timeliness that made them great in a bygone era. But Noel Coward’s 1930s romantic comedy “Private Lives,” which opened Saturday at the Kitchen Theatre, still packs a heavy comedic punch even to the most modern of audiences.
Coward’s comedy of manners examines what happens when longtime lovers reunite under peculiar circumstances, headed up by a powerhouse cast.
Divorced lovers Elyot Chase (Brian Dykstra) and Amanda Prynne (Carol Halstead) find themselves honeymooning in the same hotel with their new respective spouses. After realizing the passion between them still exists, Elyot and Amanda run away from their newlyweds to be together in Paris.
The premise sounds like the actions of young, naïve lovers, but that’s exactly where the comedy lies. These characters are gripping onto the last bits of frivolous youth they once shared — quarreling, kissing and crying. Through their extended excursion in a Paris flat, the two discover that tumultuous fighting could be what keeps their love exciting and fresh. For them, it’s just a matter of keeping it to a happy minimum.
Director Margarett Perry, a frequent director at the Kitchen Theatre, tackles Coward’s tongue-in-cheek circumstances and flippant dialogue with fluidity and ease. But in a small sense, she sacrifices bits of the timeless humor, like the absurdity of a divorced couple ditching each of their lovers, to infuse the show with contemporary mannerisms.
When Elyot and Amanda settle on their plan to leave their spouses for Paris, they hop up and down like two giddy best friends. It’s a hilarious moment, but a little too much like 2010 for a 1930 setting. The spurts of modernity detract from the illusion that the play takes place 80 years in the past.
Aside from the occasional slip out of British accents or inkling of modern-day physicality that detract from the depiction of the time period, The Kitchen Theatre’s rendition of Coward’s classic comedy of errors is a witty, entertaining three acts.
Dykstra and Halstead practically beam with “chemical what d’you call ’ems,” the term Amanda gives to the sensual spark in every passionate relationship. There’s not a dull moment during their time together on stage, and they share a vibrant dynamic — Dykstra as the sardonic Elyot and Halstead as the sophisticated, untamed Amanda. It’s almost like watching Clark Gable go toe-to-toe with Tallulah Bankhead, the saucy flapper-era actress, with plenty of champagne but no cocaine.
Emily Renee Bennett (Sibyl Chase) and Tobias Burns (Victor Prynne) also deliver energetic performances as Elyot and Amanda’s former spouses. Bennett’s Sybil is as bubbly as champagne and as demure as they come. Burns steals scene after scene with his comedic portrayal of Victor, with slicked-back hair bouncing out of control as his character tries to make sense of the chaos around him.
A short but brilliant performance from Camilla Shade as Louise, a sickly French maid, is like icing on the cake — random and sidesplittingly entertaining. She traipses on stage at the most inopportune times, spewing French and making situations both oh-so-awkward and hysterical.
Back-dropped by a beautifully minimal set designed by Cornell University professor Kent Goetz and serene lighting by Cornell lecturer E.D. Intemann, “Private Lives” transports the audience to a time filled with wistful orchestras by the beach and bobbed coiffures. Lisa Boquist’s colorful costumes capture the time period with elegant suits and flowing dresses, though this play is too timeless to be summed up as simply a period piece.
It isn’t before long that the façade drops, and the audience sees the undying truth that spans decades. Love knows no bounds, opposites don’t always attract and just a little champagne can go a long way.

Our typical client is a small businessman who perceives that his business is failing, and who has been advised by other professionals to seek bankruptcy advice.
We have learned over the years that bankruptcy protection is seldom the first choice of remedy. There are many reasons for this.
First, the only reorganization protection for businesses is under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. This statute is designed for large businesses. Smaller companies simply cannot afford the special legal, accounting, and management costs (typically $50 - $150,000) that formal bankruptcy reorganization entails. Moreover, a company that is losing money prior to bankruptcy will, if not "repaired," continue to lose money while under court protection.
The Bankruptcy Court will not allow itself to be used as a shield to allow a company to run up more debt, and such a company will be (at least in this district) converted to chapter 7 liquidation, which is the worst possible result for the business, its creditors, its customers, and its owners. Conversely, if a business CAN be made profitable, we can almost always negotiate forbearances and payment arrangements with the creditors, which makes bankruptcy protection unnecessary.
A long established, family-run manufacturing service company landed a new major customer. The customer promised to double the firm's sales, and in anticipation of that, the firm opened and equipped a new stand-alone facility to handle the customer's demands. Unfortunately, the customer's business plan was faulty, and the customer ended up bankrupt and out of business. The firm's remaining operations could not sustain the debt load and cash flow demands of the now-vacant expansion facility. Its debts mounted and creditor actions started. The firm came to us seeking chapter 11 representation.
Rather than file the firm in its own bankruptcy, we undertook a two-year transition plan under which the firm, now our client, raised cash for creditor settlements by divestiture of some of its remaining operations. It remains in business in a profitable, if smaller, form, ready to grow anew and without the cost, risk, and stigma that a formal bankruptcy would have entailed.
Our client was a technology company with publicly traded common stock. The cost of maintaining its SEC requirements, including annual audits, had become prohibitive. It also needed creditor relief and recapitalization of future operations with an influx of new capital. The new investors were reluctant to invest new equity while the problem of the historical debt and the public registration costs were unresolved.
We represented the company in a successful chapter 11 reorganization, which resulted in cancellation of the publicly held stock, restructuring of debt, and issuance of new equity in part via conversion of insider debt.
The founder of a family-owned manufacturing business died suddenly and unexpectedly in early middle age. Neither of his two sons, who were being groomed for management, were ready for the responsibility of running the company. The distraught widow consulted their business attorney, who in turn referred the family to our office for crisis counseling and management.
We put together a team of consultants, including ourselves, to constitute a shadow board of directors and a management team that ran the company for the next year. We dealt with the creditor issues that arose by constant negotiation and demonstrations of goodwill and successful operations, thus avoiding bankruptcy. During that year, sales doubled to almost $10 million, and the year after our engagement terminated, the company posted $1 million in net profit.

Former Cleveland Clinic CEO Toby Cosgrove, MD, is joining the Google Cloud team as an executive adviser to its healthcare and life sciences divisions, the tech-giant confirmed July 23.
Dr. Gozgrove will assist Google's "quadruple aim" of lowering costs, improving the patient experience, advancing population health and reducing administrative burdens for providers and staff.
"Dr. Cosgrove is a widely respected thought leader in the healthcare space. Over the course of his career, he has seen firsthand how digitization has improved — and hampered — healthcare," said Gregory Moore, MD, PhD and vice president of healthcare at Google Cloud, in announcing Dr. Cosgrove's new role. "We're thrilled to have Dr. Cosgrove on board to help us tackle the quadruple aim, drawing on his several decades of experience at the forefront of American medicine."
Google Cloud's goal is to harness "the power of data to advance healthcare" in such a way that providers and patients don't become overwhelmed, Dr. Moore said.
The team has its sights set on artificial intelligence and machine learning to assist with streamlining and automating workflows in a way that it doesn't diminish the provider-patient relationship — and it will tap into Dr. Cosgrove's clinical expertise to ensure it, according to Google.
"Technology may have been the cause of some of these challenges, but we believe that it can also be the cure," Dr. Moore said.

What is the difference between a masters gown and a bachelor gown?
A masters gown is worn by masters degree graduates. This type of graduation gown features full-length sleeves, with an opening in the sleeve through which you put your arms. A masters graduation gown will, therefore, appear more lengthy, draped and distinguishable from the bell-shaped sleeved bachelor graduation gown.
We make certified Australian made masters graduation gowns here at our Melbourne premises. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, why not purchase one of our imported economy masters gowns? Our imported graduation gowns are made using our select fabric and are also made using our strict garment construction techniques.
What should an Australian masters gown look like?
As mentioned above, the masters graduation gown has a full-length sleeve with an opening for your arms. Australian masters gowns are typically black in colour, however, there are variations to this rule. Some Australian university academic dress specifications prescribe navy blue colour master gowns, and some universities specify graduation gown colours unique to the institution. As we manufacture here in Australia, we can tailor a masters gown in any colour you may require.
Can I choose what fabric my masters gown is made from?
How do I choose the size of my masters gown?
The length of your masters gown should be around mid-calf length (a bit lower is better). Sizing is determined by your height, though if you have broad shoulders or need a wider robe, refer to our size guide information located below each graduation gown product page.

Take time when writing the employee handbook. Make changes to your original one if need be. An employee handbook must be a comprehensive guide which should include all types of State as3well as Federal laws that an employee must know about. For instance, what is the right amount of paternity and maternity leave in the healthcare profession is spelled out in the law. Delivering this is the responsibility of the employer and the right of the employee. This can only occur if both parties are well versed on the topic. Other issues that a handbook should, and generally does address are clauses about personal leaves or how early a notice must be given for sick days, etc.
Delivering a friendly and open workspace environment is key to avoiding possible suits from employees. Each practice in the workplace should be transparent and should follow the law. By doing so, you ensure a healthy relationship with your employees.
Rather than just focusing on delivering services to the patient, you must not forget that there is a business side of it all as well that needs to be taken care of. To make sure you are well-prepared to deal with risks, you should establish a risk committee in your hospital. The risk committee should meet up often and collaborate with healthcare providers to get their input about which areas are high-risk when it comes to possible suits. Everyone should be given a chance to voice their opinions. After all, those who work in the front lines are much better detectors of risks.
Calling staff meetings may sound old school to the masses. However, such meetings help in equipping you with how to effectively handle different situations. Meet up with everyone and let them know what is expected of the work day. Brief them all about patients. Focus on those who might need added attention. This will ensure that everyone is ready if things go south. When your staff is better equipped to deal with different problems, the chances of mortalities due to your negligence are bound to be low. This, in turn, will reduce any malpractice suits that patients may file.
It is easy to think as a healthcare provider and as a corporation. This might allow you to effectively deal with employee-related suits. However, this approach may not always be fruitful when it comes to avoiding patient suits.
To deal with patients, you must put yourself in their shoes. Communicate with them in a way you would like to be communicated if you were on the receiving side of the equation. Build a relationship of trust with your patients. Let them know through your actions that you are just as concerned about their health as they are. They should feel that your priority is delivering comfort to them. Be patient with them and answer all of their questions. Be empathetic.
Do these measures ensure prevention against suits?
No. While these measures may decrease the risk involved, they do not eliminate the chances of you getting sued completely. This is because such issues can be complex and tricky to deal with. All you can do to avoid them is deliver quality services and work environments from your end.

Lessons Of Change: How Can We Be Better At It?
Change is part of our world. And change typically comes in two big ways: external forced change or internally driven change (which, ironically, is often driven by external change).
Change is predicted to become a bigger part of our lives soon.
Many people feel the pace of change in the world has increased in our lifetimes. Electrification and the car also brought radical change. The lives people were living 100 years ago are very different from our lives today. We can’t predict if lives 100 years hence from now will have change or less than the prior 100 year period – but it doesn’t really matter.
Change is here. And coming from an external source right now and in a big way! Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence are both promising sweeping change to business and society.
I, in fact, stopped to write on the two technologies intensely this month and it left me with an 8 day gap in blogs.
That change – of writing more (for books) – meant I changed other areas of my life (writing less blogs). So it raises the question of how do we get better at change?
One thing I realize from the last week is that change is interconnected. One change “here” often means some other change “there.” This is part of why Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence are so intriguing – they promise to change our entire worlds but changing one thing that has ripple effects.
We’ll be better at change if we manage the ripples and anticipate them. That’s part of why I am working so hard with Dali Kranzthor to bring you meaningful books about this upcoming change. I want you riding the waves – not drowning in the current.
If you’ve been working on Blockchain or AI – or know someone great that has – reach out to me or Dali on LinkedIn.
And if you want to change your time management grab a copy of It’s About Time.

Your mesothelioma diagnosis may have brought a lot of uncertainty into your life, but one thing is for sure: you will spend much more time at a doctor’s office or other medical facility. Managing your mesothelioma medical records from all these doctor visits is vitally important. Good organization can help you become an active member of your own care team.
Why Do I Need a Copy of My Mesothelioma Medical Records?
Many medical providers allow you to view your mesothelioma medical records online. While this is very convenient, it’s no substitute for your personal copy of your records. Your complete copy of your medical file is called a personal health record or PHR.
During your mesothelioma treatment, your medical team might expand from your personal physician to include radiologists, pathologists, oncologists, thoracic surgeons, mesothelioma specialists, and more. You may travel to different medical facilities to visit a specialist or participate in a mesothelioma clinical trial. Your copy of your mesothelioma medical records could be the only complete copy, all in one place, of your treatment history.
When you see different specialists at different medical facilities, it’s crucial that they know what mesothelioma treatment you have already had. The mesothelioma medical records you keep might prevent unnecessary repetition of invasive and expensive tests.
Your personal copy of your mesothelioma medical records is also valuable if you decide to seek treatment from an alternative medicine practitioner. All your care providers need to have the full picture, so you don’t receive combinations of medicines or treatments that cancel each other out or make you sicker. You will be the conduit for information between your alternative practitioner and your physician. Your PHR is a great way to make this happen.
Your mesothelioma medical records can also be important if you file an asbestos lawsuit or apply for compensation from an asbestos trust fund. You’ll need to demonstrate your mesothelioma diagnosis by a qualified doctor. Your medical bills may be a factor in determining the amount of any mesothelioma settlement or jury verdict you receive. Your lawyer will need to get certified copies of these records from the providers, but your PHR will help your lawyer understand the full range of your treatment and make sure that no medical bills are overlooked.
What Is Included in Mesothelioma Medical Records?
X-rays, CT scans, PET scans, etc.
You will probably receive some of your mesothelioma medical records in electronic form and some (especially billing) may arrive in paper. It’s a good idea to keep all your records in one format, so you’ll probably want to print out your electronic medical records or scan in the paper records. Choose the format that you’re more comfortable keeping organized.
If you choose to keep your mesothelioma medical records in paper, it’s a good idea to invest in some organizing tools. Buy a three-ring binder and insert labeled dividers to separate different types of records. Over the course of your mesothelioma treatment, you may end up with multiple binders. Or you can get an accordion file with different pockets for different types of medical records.
For those who are comfortable organizing documents in electronic format, some extra tools are available. You could keep it simple and set up a system of folders and subfolders on your computer, to organize your records. Or you could use an electronic storage tool such as Microsoft HealthVault.
If you store your records in digital form, take a few minutes to make sure each document has a title that matches the content. Scanners often assign a meaningless set of numbers or call each pdf “Document.” If the records have clear titles, it will save you from having to open each one later when you are searching for a specific piece of information.
Storing your electronic documents in a cloud storage site such as Box can make it easier to share documents with different providers and to get help from family members in managing your PHR. A child who lives far away can be part of your care by organizing the scanned documents, for example.
A word of caution about storing your PHR in the cloud: some online file storage apps don’t provide the level of privacy protection that you should have for your mesothelioma medical records. Make sure you use storage that is HIPAA compliant and be aware that the free versions of popular cloud storage sites like Google docs and Dropbox do not meet this standard. If you want to manage your PHR in the cloud, you may need to opt up to a paid subscription.
HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. This law not only set standards to protect the privacy and confidentiality of your medical records; it also ensured that you have access to your full medical record.
HIPAA guarantees that your mesothelioma medical records belong to you. You are allowed to see and have a copy of your doctor’s notes, your test results, your scans. Almost the only medical provider information that patients don’t have a right to see, under HIPAA, are notes taken by a psychotherapist.
Many medical institutions have adopted policies that make it easy for patients to go online and access their medical records. If any of your providers doesn’t give you a copy of your records after an information request, you can make that request in writing. Under HIPAA rules, doctors have 30 days after a written request to provide a patient with a copy of his or her own medical records.
Creating your own PHR allows you to take a more active role in your medical care. It is easy to give all your providers have the information they need to develop an integrated care plan when you have organized your mesothelioma medical records and have your PHR at your fingertips.

Japan, The Land of the Rising Sun, the Imperial island state located in East Asia is a the first state we will visit on this continent. We will fly to Japan from Hawaii, USA and it’s going to be a very interesting expericence for us. Vacation in Japan will open the doors for us to the Asian continent and will give us an opportunity to meet a culture so different from what we know.
Travelling in Japan is one of the biggest attractions of our round the world trip. From all four islands we plan to visit Honshu, Kyushu and Hokkaido. Each island will offer us a view into Japanese daily life but will also show us the jewels of this technologically advanced country. Many people ask themselves “Where to go in Japan ?” think about Tokyo. Our case is no different. The capital city of Japan will take us a few days so we can explore the town. During this period we would like to visit sanctuaries, museums, The Emperors palace and try real Japanese cuisine. Very interesting might be Sumo match ora visit to a center of traditional Japanese art and culture.
Among places to go in Japan, especially for Czech people, is the city of Nagano. It is not only former the Olympic village but also a place with many temples. Historical sites in Japan are a real enticement for us. Therefore we would like to visit Kjóto and Nara. Here we plan to visit several temples that should give us insight into original Japanese way of living some centuries ago. Among other attractions in Japan are the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the island of Honshu. Both of these places are connected to American nuclear attacks. We hope to find only peace there and maybe meet some locals who could tell us a story about the history. We also want to visit the island of Hokkaido where we will mainly head to the beautiful national parks and reservations like Jigokudani also known as Hell’s Valley.
Accommodation in Japan will be a chapter itself. During our travelling in Japan we plan to use various types of accommodation. We expect it will not be a cheap matter which is given by population per square km. This situation will be significant in places like Tokyo. On the other hand transport in Japan is something we are truly looking forward to. We plan to buy Japan Rail Pass – kind of prepaid train ticket. Thanks to this we will be able to experience the top technologies in terms of transportation in Japan. Travelling by train in Japan has to be a fun and really unique experience for European travellers. Local speed trains run at usually around 300 km/h. Besides this we would like to take local buses too.
Among attractions in Japan we could include the behaviour of Japanese. They are very conservative and they require good manners that are not so common in the rest of World. Therefore we need to pay attention to trivialities such as blowing your nose or chewing in public.
Weather in Japan will be quite a mystery. Thanks to its location in the Pacific Ocean all four islands are constantly whipped by winds and ocean currents. Also the location of Japan over several parallels is not helping thissituation. However we look forward travelling in Japan and if the weather is not ok we won’t be angry. We will enjoy going to Southeast Asia from Japan and soak up the sun in Vietnam, our next stop.
日本へようこそ! Nihon e yōkoso! Welcome in Japan!

It sounds like the plot of a Hollywood science-fiction movie. An alien species is dying. Their only hope is for a brood of artificially fertilised eggs created from the preserved DNA of some of the last survivors to be brought back to life in a future world where (hopefully) conditions are better suited to them.
Crazy? Not really: this is the only hope remaining for the northern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni). The death of Nola, a 41-year-old female who had to be euthanised at San Diego Zoo following a routine operation to treat an abscess, leaves just three individuals remaining in the world. Two are infertile females, the solitary male has low fertility; all are elderly.
After being decimated by poaching, the subspecies appears to have no chance of natural recovery. The three remaining rhino, Najin, Fatu, and Sudan, are living under 24-hour guard at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, and are effectively "walking dead".
The only possible (and highly optimistic) route to non-extinction is for frozen eggs and sperm from these last rhino to be combined with DNA from the last few to die, and the resulting embryos implanted into surrogate mothers for gestation. These surrogates would be southern white rhinos (Ceratotherium simum simum), a closely-related and much more populous subspecies.
Nola, who recently died following surgery to drain a hip abscess.
The northern white rhino's precipitous decline is due to poaching. It was last sighted in the wild back in 2006 and drastic action, when it was taken, was too little, too late. In 2009, four of the dwindling captive population were moved to Kenya to encourage breeding. But the animals were too old, and all attempts at reproduction, including controversial inter-breeding with southern relatives, failed.
Can we bring an (effectively) dead species back to life? Enter the Jurassic Park scenario. For those unfamiliar with the story, scientists facilitate the rebirth of extinct dinosaurs using DNA from long-dead animals in a process known as de-extinction.
We know that it is possible: back in 1996 Dolly the sheep was produced using similar technology (gene insertion into an egg, and development in a surrogate mother). And, whenever a well-preserved woolly mammoth is found frozen in ice, we hear whispers of the potential to produce a living mammoth using its DNA. The technique works in cattle, sheep, and mice. However, we have not yet brought an extinct species back to life or even saved a nearly extinct species using such technology.
Fortunately, San Diego Zoo had the foresight to collect samples in recent years via skin biopsy and post-mortem from 13 individual northern white rhino. In theory, their stem cells could be inserted into eggs and sperm from the remaining northern whites to maximise the genetic diversity of the "re-born" population.
Frozen sperm from recently deceased male Angalifu is in storage at San Diego's Frozen Zoo, but sadly the project remains egg-less as Nola's eggs, harvested immediately upon her death, proved infertile. The situation is desperate as all three remaining northern white rhino have reproductive concerns.
We're entering uncharted territory here. It may be possible to proceed with stem cell development via in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) and the implantation of eggs (embryo transfer) to surrogate southern white rhino, but it's never been done before and there's lots we still don't know about rhino reproduction. The uterus is deep within the body, for instance, and the zoo will need to develop special instruments to reach it.
What does the future hold for the white rhino?
Researchers are currently looking to raise £500,000 (US$750,000) via GoFundMe campaign Make a Rhino, Save a Species, and scientists and conservationists associated with the project estimate that they may produce a calf in eight years time. By that time, the remaining three northern white rhino will likely be dead, and the subspecies formally extinct.
But a question remains. Even if it is possible to bring back the northern white rhino, from a founder population of 13 or so individuals, will the resurrected population be genetically viable? And how will we save them post-resurrection when we failed with our best chance pre-extinction?
Some would argue that, as a subspecies, the northern white rhino is of limited importance. After all, the southern whites are still going, with fears over their long-term future countered by hope in more likely technology, and they could be moved northwards to fill the same ecological role. However, any adaptive (genetic) differences unique to the northern white rhino are currently lost to the species as a whole.
If we accept that conservation resources are limited, should we not be prioritising species that we are more likely to save, such as Africa's remaining southern white and black rhino, or the various endangered Asian species, rather than trying to resurrect a subspecies that is already functionally extinct?

Charlie Churchill’s unique brand of contemporary realism combines a devotion to Old-Master technique, with a romantic sense of character. The artist executes portrait commissions, landscapes, still-life paintings, and narrative figure compositions. The paintings evolve under Churchill’s brush with the application of indirect oil painting techniques from the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. His work results from the careful delineation of detail and the interpretation of light and shadow.
Charlie Churchill has an MFA from The New York Academy of Art in New York City.
He has undergraduate degrees from Parson’s School of Design and Lafayette College. Churchill has studied with Steven Assael, Nancy Chunn, Vince Desiderio, Ted Schmidt, and Wade Schuman. The artist worked in the advertising industry for 15 years as an Art Director and Illustrator.
Charlie Churchill has participated in numerous group shows in New York City and New Jersey over the last 10 years. He has won awards, grants, and corporate commissions. His work hangs in private and corporate collections throughout the United States and Europe. Seaside themed murals in the Blue Mill Tavern in New York City were a recent project.
In the summer of 2005 the artist spent a month plein air painting in Tuscany, Italy. In June 2006 Churchill completed a collaborative project with artist Al Johnson. Their portrait of Shirley Chisholm now hangs in Brooklyn’s Boro Hall. Since spring 2007 Churchill has taught figure drawing and painting as an adjunct professor at Lehigh University. “The Back Forty” restaurant at 190 Avenue B (12th street) opened in Sept. 2007, features the artist’s latest mural in its bar. Currently, the artist is a finalist for NJ Transit’s Bayonne, NJ, 22nd Street station mural commission.

Healthy snack ideas include bananas, apples, grapes, carrot sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper sticks, granola bars, and protein bars. Think of snacks that are nourishing and tidy. A napkin and garbage container come in handy. When you’re shopping for granola and protein bars, read ingredients carefully to ensure you’re getting healthy items and not ones full of refined sugar and other energy-crashing foods.
Choose your bag wisely. Whether it’s a road trip or a competition hosted at your home gym, bring a bag that you can easily carry, and that is quick to stow in the car, the bus, or the hotel and wherever you’re changing. You might want a second smaller bag for items you’ll need while at the competition, like a water bottle, hygiene products, and small snacks. Make sure your bag is easy to identify with a brightly coloured tag, and include your name and at least the contact phone number of your home gym in case it gets lost.
Make sure you try clothes and shoes on well in advance to be sure that everything fits properly and comfortably. Cheer Sport Sharks are prone to growth spurts at any time! It doesn’t hurt to throw in an extra pair of socks as well as a back-up hair elastic, just in case.
A week or 2 in advance of an overnight trip, make a list of all of the things you use every day that you absolutely HAVE to have. That way you won’t forget anything, and if you’re running low on something, like toothpaste, or you want to take your favourite pajamas, you’ve got time to shop and do laundry. Common items that get forgotten are toothpaste, underwear, and chargers. If your team has something fun planned outside of the competition, like swimming at the hotel, pack for that, too! Bring something to keep you occupied during travel and down time, like a book or music.
Last but not least: Pack your itinerary! Know where you need to be at all times, and make sure that your family and friends attending the competition know, too, so that they have their cameras ready.
Happy packing, Sharks, and be excited because competition days are full of great energy and fun. You can read more about competition preparation on our blog here, and here and here. We’ll see you soon on the blue mat!

Two days later the doorbell rang. She opened the door, and much to her dismay, there sat a gray-haired gentleman in a wheel chair. He had no arms or legs.
"Yes, I am," the man replied.
"You don't have any arms, either!" she snorted.
The wedding is set for Saturday.
I guess the morel of the story is: be careful of what you wish for.

Channeling the spirit through advancing the pen over the paper, the lace-like web of lines drawn by the French artist André-Aimé-René Masson were the embryonic images of automatic art, later developed to demonstrate an unusual coherence and textural unity under controlled consciousness.
Regarded as a bridge between Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, Masson was born on January 4, 1896, in Balagny-sur-Thérain, Oise, France. Later he moved with his family to Brussels and studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts, under the guidance of Constant Montald and later studied in Paris at Ecolé des Beaux-Arts (1912-1914). In the World War l he served in the French army and was gravely wounded. From 1919-1922, Mawson lived in south of France, then returned to Paris where he met Gris, Derain, and later Miró and Breton. In 1923, he executed his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Simon, Paris.
From 1924 to 1929, Mawson actively participated in Surrealist movement, although he borrowed his motifs and ideas from Cubism and other trends within the Ecolé de Paris. After 1929 Masson left the surrealist movement and made further works exploring chance effects, including sand paintings as well as paintings of metamorphoses of animal and human forms, themes of germination, combats and massacres, with emphasis on violence and eroticism.
During the second World War, Masson took refuge in the USA, where he lived at New Preston, Connecticut and made works inspired by the elemental forces of nature. His work gradually attracted the attention of the art world in New York and Jackson Pollock is rumored to have been inspired by Mason’s Pasiphae (1944).
In 1945, Masson returned to France and settled at Aix-en-Provence, painting landscapes themes such as mountains and waterfalls for several years, followed by some almost completely abstract pictures. Masson also designed costumes for theatre, worked on book illustrations, made a number of sculptures and wrote various books including ‘Mythologie d'Andre Masson' (1971).
Seen alongside Picasso as a major contributor to surrealism, Masson received major retrospectives in Basel (1950) and New York (1976). His paintings hang in some of the best art museums around the world. The pioneer of automatism Andre Masson was died on October 28, 1987 in Paris, France.
