Dr. D would like to celebrate summer, along with two big recent accomplishments.
Our Operating Room is now officially certified by the Institute for Medical Quality, based in California. We received a three year approval, the longest available. Now you can have safe\affordable surgery without going to the hospital.
re-certification, and we believe he is the first and only Hawaii plastic surgeon to achieve this accomplishment. Many older plastic surgeons, those certified prior to 1995, are not required to complete this rigorous ten-year process. Therefore, they are not forced to keep up with the latest techniques and may be practicing the same way they did over 20 years ago!
To celebrate these announcements we would like to offer you 10% off any office cosmetic procedures, with up to $1000 in savings. We are also offering 10-20% off all non-surgical treatments including Botox, Injectable fillers, and skin care products/treatments.
Call now because these special prices expires after Labor Day.
Reminder: Dr. D can now also see you at our Queens-West office.

There is still a need to find valid methods of monitoring training intensity during aquatic exercises training and in particular in water cycling.PURPOSE: To examine the construct validity of the new water cycling scale (Brasil Scale).METHODS: 30 physically active and healthy young men took part in 2 separate data collection sessions. Standardized verbal instruction regarding the RPE Borg (6-20) Scale and Brasil Scale was provided to the participants and measurements were performed by the same researchers. The subjects performed the water cycling maximal protocol at all effort levels progressively to familiarize them with the minimal effort and graduation until the maximal effort. The protocol started at a rate of 100 beats per minute (b.min-1) for 3 min with subsequent increments of 15 b.min-1 every two minutes until exhaustion. Immediately following the end of each stage the overall body RPE was collected. The scales were visible to the subjects throughout the test session. Brasil Scale has mode-specific pictorial descriptors distributed and numbers (0-10). Construct validity was established by correlating the RPE from the Borg (6-20) scale with Brasil Scale using. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to check the level of relationship between Borg 6-20 RPE and Brasil scale during all effort of the water cycling maximal protocol. An alpha level of 0.05 was used for all statistical tests which were performed using SPSS software (version 15.0).RESULTS: The validity coefficient of the correlation was r=0.96.CONCLUSIONS: Borg 6-20 RPE and Brasil scales are highly related. Thus, the new Brasil scale may be used during water cycling exercises. This kind of scale may facilitate its use during daily application water cycle training.

This week the movie i'm featuring is from a series that I wish had had more of the series made into feature films. I found it while I was flipping through the various movies available on Amazon Prime (and coincidently this morning in the doctor's office, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, was playing). My memories of reading these books as a 5/6 year old, are some of my most vivid and I think that the director did a good job of adapting the book to movie and keeping the C.S. Lewis magic.
I know for many people, if you say the Chronicles of Narnia, most people will be able to immediately answer with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (and of course, that could potentially open up the great literary debate – which book comes first in the Chronicles of Narnia…the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe which was published first OR The Magicians Nephew which chronologically occurred first…I know what I think, but that is a debate for another day).
If you are familiar with Prince Caspian – it starts off with the Penvensie siblings (Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy) back in England, approximately a year or so after the end of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. There are, for many reasons, some issues in getting reacclimated (I mean going from being a King to being a kid again has to be kind of a brain blender). What we don't know is how much time has passed in Narnia since they left – because time is different there (if you remember from tLtWtW, they were in Narnia for multiple years, but no time has passed in England).
What I love about this book is so you see the magic of Narnia from the eyes of someone who didn't believe in it – the Penvensies' pretty much just accepted that it existed in tLtWatW, but not so much the case with Prince Caspian. I know looking back that this is a Christian allegory for discovery and finding new beliefs but you have to look hard to find that in the movie.
can I just say that Prince Caspian played by Ben Barnes is hawt – yeah, i'm shallow enough to admit it, even now, nearly a decade after it was first released.
Have you seen Prince Caspian? Or any of the other Narnia movies? Of the books (if you have read them), which one would you like to see brought to the big screen?

I'm a big kid. I love kitschy, crazy pop culture toys. I have a collection of retro lunchboxes I used to carry as purses (Addams Family, the Archies, Laugh-In) and silly dolls from The Fonz to Pee-Wee Herman adorn my bookshelves.
That's why I have to hold myself back when I walk into a store like Big Kid. This tiny little treasure trove tucked into the corner of a non-descript mini mall in the far north end of Sherman Oaks is bursting with every kind of cool retro toy and candy you can imagine.
And when I say hold myself back, I really mean it. We're talking a Penelope Pitstop statuette people! That's not just a want, that's a NEED. I could spend hours just wandering around this store with its assortment of jack-in-the-boxes, action heroes, games, lunchboxes, Barbie dolls, t-shirts, bobble-heads, magic tricks, secret spy agent gear, even candy and food items.

My daughter was very frustrated with grade level reading and writing. She saw Suzanne once a week for about 5-6 months and I saw much improved reading and writing, as well and more confidence in her ability to read and write. Suzanne was helpful, patient as well as having a sense of humor. She worked with the classroom teacher and her tutoring was right on track with what they were doing in the classroom.

If you have an older PC (2.5 Ghz or slower with less than 1GB memory) running Windows XP don't even think about upgrading to Vista.
If your going to Vista get SP1.
If you have a newer PC or are buying a new PC get a minimum of 1GB of memory 2GB is preferable for Vista.
If your big on running games on your system make sure you get current video card drivers there where significant issues with early versions on Vista.
If your buying a new PC buy it before June and get Windows XP (after June Windows XP will no longer be available unless Microsoft changes there mind).
Wait for Vista SP2 maybe by then Vista performance will be on par with XP.
Following are links to the ZDNet articles and benchmarks on Vista and XP performance. Also here is a detailed article from Mark Russinovich at Microsoft giving background on how Vista SP1 file copy performance was improved.
Vista SP1 - The promised performance gains are there by ZDNet's Adrian Kingsley-Hughes -- People are very anxious to know whether Windows Vista SP1 brings with it any noticeable performance gains when carrying out day to day tasks. My preliminary results seem to indicate that SP1 offers measurable benefits when carrying out a variety of tasks.

The Department of Political Sciences, Law and International Studies (SPGI) has Erasmus+ Agreements with 78 Universities from 17 different countries.
You can find information about applications, accommodation and all the other procedures on our main website for Incoming Exchange students. Link here.
Lessons are organised in two semesters: the Winter term, from September until February and the Spring term, from March until July. You can find more information about the official university holidays and all the other key academic dates on our main website. The International Relations Office organises official welcome days at the beginning of each semester. Please remember that attendance is compulsory.
Classes are given mainly in Italian. All incoming students can attend an Italian Language Course at our University Language Centre (CLA) without charge. The course lasts 50 hours and is worth 3 ECTS, and can be included in your Learning Agreement.
Incoming students are officially enrolled in the department of the University of Padua with which their home universities have signed the Erasmus+ agreement. Each agreement is also linked to a departmental coordinator who is responsible for signing students' Learning Agreements.
Students can choose exams from the entire catalogue of university courses, also from different departments without restriction, as long as the majority of courses are held in the department in which the student is officially enrolled.
We strongly advise bachelor students to take courses at the Bachelor's level. In the SPGI Department, all courses at the Bachelor's level are held in Italian. However, students and teachers can agree on a vehicular language for the exam. Please find here a list of courses whose exam can be taken in English (or other languages).
Some degrees are held in other cities besides Padova. For example, the courses from the degree in Economic Law are available to erasmus students, but they take place entirely in Rovigo, a city 45 km far from Padova. It is possible to check this piece of information on our course catalogue.
In our Department Courses held in English are only at the Master's level, and student can only choose courses showing "Attuale A.A. 2018/2019". Bachelor students can choose MA courses in English, but admission is not guaranteed. It is at the discretion of each lecturer whether to accept, or not, incoming students on the grounds of their preparation, their background or the class structure.For this reason, signed learning agreements cannot be considered as proof of admission to Master's level courses. We invite students to contact the professors directly at the beginning of courses.
There are several English language courses at our university.
The Language of Advocacy course is a pass/fail exam, so if your home university requires you to obtain a grade, you should select one of the many other courses on offer. Note that this course is only available to Masters level students.
Attendance at lessons is not compulsory. Students are not required to enrol in classes, but they must sign up to exams. Each course has two appelli (exam dates) in each exam session. You can choose on which date you would like to take the exam by enrolling in the correct Uniweb list. Lists open about two weeks before the exam and close a couple of days before. It is important to enrol correctly on Uniweb, so that all your results can be registered in your booklet and a correct transcript of records can be available at the end of your mobility.
This procedure is explained in detail in our handbook about how to register for exams.
Students receive their results by mail and can refuse their grade within seven days if they want to take the exam again. If you do nothing, you implicitly authorise the grade to be officially registered in your booklet.
An exam is passed if the grade is between 18 (minimum) and 30 (maximum). The correspondence between Italian and ECTS grades is defined by specific official tables.
If you experience difficulties using Uniweb, please ask your buddy or the tutor junior service for help.
Our department uses an e-learning platform called Moodle where professors upload lecture materials, news and other extra information about their courses. You will be able to access it with your personal Unipd mail account and password.

Actress Meghann Fahy during an interview with host Jimmy Fallon on Jan. 11. Todd Owyoung/NBC
Meghann Fahy appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Wednesday wearing a head-to-toe black ensemble.
For her television segment and interview with the talk show host, Fahy wore a black Hansen satin shirt and a floral lace skirt from Michael Kors Collection's spring 2023 line. She coordinated the look with black thigh-high boots from Christian Louboutin. She accessorized with subtle earrings.
Michael Kors Collection's spring 2023 line was described as bringing resort to the city.
"What first turned me on about fashion was simplicity, sensuality and movement," Kors told WWD during a preview of the collection. "Europe didn't celebrate the body, America celebrated the body."
To create her look for the television segment, Fahy worked with celebrity stylist Thomas Carter Phillips. Phillips also works with Hilary Swank, Danai Gurira and Eli Brown.
For hair, Fahy went for an elevated natural look going for a dewy face with a nude lip, a touch of blush, eye-popping mascara and a touch of eye shadow. She had her hair parted down the center and done in a straightened style.
While Fahy has had a long-standing career on the small screen with roles ranging from the daytime soap opera "One Life to Live" and five seasons on "The Bold Type," in 2022, she made waves with her role as a main character in the hit HBO series "The White Lotus."
During her segment on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," Fahy discussed making friends with locals in Italy, working with Mike White's "Survivor" castmates and the show's season finale.
"The White Lotus" recently received a Screen Actors Guild Awards nomination for Drama Series Ensemble.
Season Two of the anthology series concluded on Dec. 11, 2022. The show's season finale went viral on the internet as viewers discussed Jennifer Coolidge's character Tanya McQuoid's choice of footwear.

Ex-St. Louis County executive gets nearly 4 years in prison
The Associated Pres
ST. LOUIS — Steve Stenger, once among the most powerful elected officials in Missouri, was sentenced Friday to nearly four years in prison for orchestrating a pay-for-play scheme.
Stenger, 47, the former Democratic St. Louis County executive, pleaded guilty in May to federal corruption charges for providing political favors, including a county contract, in exchange for campaign donations. He was sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison, and fined $250,000.
Stenger's fall from grace was swift. His indictment was announced April 29 and he surrendered his law license and resigned that same day.
"Public service is a public trust," Assistant U.S. Attorney Hal Goldsmith said in a statement after the sentencing. "Through his illegal pay-to-play scheme aimed at filling his own political coffers, the former county executive shattered that trust."
Three others also pleaded guilty as part of the scheme — Stenger's chief of staff, Bill Miller; businessman John Rallo, who donated to Stenger's campaign with the expectation that his companies would get county contracts; and Sheila Sweeney, whom Stenger appointed as head of the county's economic development agency.

THE YELLOW JACKETS COULD SOON COME TO LONDON
Yellow Vests Protest – Paris
Courtesy of Bloomberg.com 3.12.18. here
The protests in France should be a warning that high levels of distrust (in politicians) and lower living standards could produce unrest in the UK too.
What started out as a typical demonstration against fuel taxes threatens to become the largest and most violent street protests in France since the late 1960s. Some might say this could never happen in Britain. I wouldn't be so sure.
The French, of course, have a long tradition of taking their grievances to the streets. There have been a dozen or so significant episodes of civil unrest since the major round of rioting in 2005. Tens of thousands of cars are burned every year. The current wave of demonstrations began with a Facebook grouping to protest a 7.6 euro cents per liter ($0.09) tax increase on diesel fuel, to help pay for President Emmanuel Macron's environmental agenda. Opposition to the tax tapped into widening discontent over living standards and with a president who often appears arrogant and detached.
Worse, his measures seemed designed to offend what many regard as France's beating heart — its towns and villages. Hundreds of thousands of protesters, with support from both the far-left and the far-right, donned the high-visibility security vests that are the protesters' symbol; rioters joined them to devastating effect.
With the blatant lies emanating daily from our Prime Minister and her colleagues, it is patently obvious that "The Establishment" aren't even attempting to hide their contempt of the British voting public. If they persist, there are many very angry people who would love to demonstrate their disgust at this treatment, while there are also other groups, such as anarchists, who would quickly join in to cause as much mayhem as possible (pardon the pun).
These are dangerous times created entirely by our wretched dishonest politicians.

The association between coffee and high blood pressure has been under consideration for a lengthy period of time. Despite conclusive studies showing little or no association between the two, rumors and myths have persisted. Most coffee brands available on grocery shelves contain caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant just as narcotic drugs such as cocaine and others. What doctors agree on is that coffee consumption provided the coffee contains caffeine may result in short-term spikes in blood pressure occurring possibly within minutes of consumption. Home blood pressure monitoring is a good way to establish if your blood pressure rises after coffee consumption. You may take your blood pressure readings after about 30 minutes of coffee consumption.
Doctors note that it may require more than a single standard cup of coffee to observe a blood pressure spike. In fact some medical experts have noted that some two to three cups of coffee containing caffeine may raise both systolic and diastolic blood pressure numbers by some 3 to 14 mmHg and 4 to 13mmHg respectively. As to how caffeine leads to high blood pressure there are two main theories. One understanding is that caffeine in coffee blocks an important hormone that is responsible for blood vessels widening. The second theory is that caffeine is a catalyst to a release of a certain hormone from glands which causes blood pressure spikes. In considering the association between coffee and high blood pressure most individuals are interested in the long term effects of coffee consumption on chronic high blood pressure which is also known as hypertension. After tracking up to 150 000 with no history of high blood pressure over a period of 12 years it was established that drinking coffee with caffeine over this period had no effect on the development of hypertension. It would also appear that the temporary spikes in blood pressure associated with coffee consumption does not in any way lead to cardiovascular incidences such heart attack, stroke and heart failure.
The effects of coffee on blood pressure are temporary in individuals in which spikes are experienced. Studies seem to suggest that some individuals develop some form of resistance to blood pressure spikes after repeated coffee consumption over a period of time. Studies also seem to further suggest that some individuals who consume coffee on a regular basis have a higher average blood pressure than people who do not consume coffee or caffeine on a regular basis. Some doctors however still believe that individuals who have high blood pressure and are concerned about the effects of coffee on their condition should limit the amount of coffee they consume on a daily basis. Avoiding coffee or caffeine just before activities is also encouraged as activities also further increase blood pressure especially if intense.
In the midst of this seemingly negative association between coffee and high blood pressure, a study carried out in Europe by Greek researchers involving over 450 men and women aged between 65 and 100 years old indicated that coffee may be responsible for improved blood vessel elasticity. According too blood pressure definition, blood pressure is the force with which blood is exerted on vessel walls whilst flowing. It is a function of the volume of blood in flow and the elasticity or constriction of vessel walls. Individuals with high blood pressure may have constricted blood vessel walls leading to hypertension. Specific hypertension medications seek to dilate blood vessel walls by causing them to relax and to be elastic. This particular study in Europe appears to suggest that the elderly consuming one to two cups of coffee per day had up to 25 percent elasticity in their main blood vessels compared to non-coffee consuming individuals. Some experts have have received these study results with a pinch of salt arguing that these results may not be possibly replicated elsewhere. Apart from high blood pressure, coffee consumption has also been dismissed as a cause of heart disease or any other cardiovascular disease. Doctors agree that caffeine is a weak stimulant is as far as the cause of these conditions is concerned.

Plot: Dr. Miles Bennell returns to his small town practice to find several of his patients suffering the paranoid delusion that their friends or relatives are impostors. He is initially skeptical, especially when the alleged dopplegängers are able to answer detailed questions about their victim's lives, but he is eventually persuaded that something odd has happened and determines to find out what is causing this phenomenon. This film can be seen as a paranoid 1950s warning against those Damn Commies or, conversely, as a metaphor for the tyranny of McCarthyism (or the totalitarian system of Your Choice) and has a pro- and epilogue that was forced upon Siegel by the studio to lighten the tone.


On the eve of the home match with AFC Wimbledon, City have clinched an exciting triple transfer swoop.
The Bantams have moved to bring in versatile defender Ryan McGowan on a permanent deal, while Burton Albion duo Matthew Lund and Stephen Warnock arrive on loan until the end of the season.
McGowan has penned an eighteen-month contract with the Bantams that will keep him at the Northern Commercials Stadium until the end of the 2018/2019 season.
The arrival of City's three new players comes on the back of the signing of German striker Kai Bruenker from SC Freiburg on Thursday (HERE).
McGowan, who can play in a number of positions across the back four and also in midfield, joins up with Stuart McCall's squad on a free transfer after a spell with UAE Arabian Gulf League side Al-Sharjah.
The 28 year-old will be well known to McCall and assistant Kenny Black after featuring for Hearts and Dundee United in Scotland earlier in his career.
During his time with Hearts, McGowan won the 2012 Scottish Cup Final, with the defender scoring in the final against Edinburgh neighbours Hibernian.
The Australian international has twenty caps to his name. He represented the Socceroos in the 2014 World Cup, featuring in all three of their group games against Chile, Holland and Spain.
He also played for Australia in the 2017 Confederations Cup last summer.
Along with a period in the United Arab Emirates, McGowan has spent part of his career in China.
McGowan featured for Chinese Super League club Shandong Lueng Taishan during his first spell in the country, before returning two years later to play for Henan Jianye and Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng.
McGowan's move to the Bantams is subject to international clearance.
Midfielder Lund arrives at the Northern Commercials Stadium having already played twelve times for Burton in the Championship this season.
The Northern Ireland international moved to the Pirelli Stadium at the end of last season following an impressive 2016/2017 campaign in League One with Rochdale.
Lund netted ten goals from midfield for Dale, including a hat-trick against Northampton, as the Lancashire side narrowly missed out on a place in the end-of-season play-offs.
The 27 year-old made well over a century of appearances for Dale in a four-year spell at Spotland Stadium.
The Manchester-born midfielder, who started his professional career at Stoke City, helped Rochdale to promotion from League Two in 2014 during his time at the club.
Lund's Burton team-mate - experienced campaigner Warnock - should need no real introduction to the vast majority of City supporters.
Warnock has over 520 career appearances to his name so far and spent several seasons in the Premier League with Liverpool, Blackburn Rovers and Aston Villa.
The defender came through the ranks at Liverpool, but he actually made his professional debut with the Bantams during a twelve-game loan spell at Valley Parade back in 2002.
Including City, Liverpool and present club Burton, Warnock has featured for ten different clubs after over fifteen years in the professional ranks so far.
He has been capped twice by England and was named as part of England's 2010 World Cup squad.
Warnock has played fourteen times for Burton in the Championship this season.
Matthew Lund and Ryan McGowan are still available to sponsor, however.
Please contact commercial@bradfordcityfc.co.uk for further details.

Increased mortality in patients with acute critical illness due to complications following open heart or abdominal surgery or multiple accidental trauma, or those with respiratory failure has been reported.
Sudden death in pediatric patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome has been reported after initiating treatment with somatropin with one or more of the following risk factors: severe obesity, history of upper airway obstruction or sleep apnea, or unidentified respiratory infection. Evaluate patients for signs of upper airway obstruction and sleep apnea before initiation of treatment.
Increased risk of neoplasms: Monitor patients with preexisting tumors for progression or recurrence. In childhood cancer survivors who were treated with radiation to the brain/head for their first neoplasm and who developed subsequent GHD and were treated with somatropin, an increased risk of a second neoplasm, in particular meningiomas, has been reported. Pediatric patients with certain rare genetic causes of short stature have an increased risk of developing malignancies and should be carefully monitored for development of neoplasms. Monitor patients carefully for increased growth, or potential malignant changes, of preexisting nevi.
Glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus: Treatment with somatropin may decrease insulin sensitivity, particularly at higher doses. New-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus has been reported. Monitor glucose levels in all patients. Doses of concurrent antidiabetic drugs may require adjustment.
Intracranial hypertension has been reported in a small number of patients, usually within the first 8 weeks of somatropin treatment. Funduscopic examination should be performed before initiating treatment and periodically thereafter.
Severe hypersensitivity: Serious systemic hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylactic reactions and angioedema have been reported with postmarketing use of somatropin products.
Fluid retention in adults (clinically manifesting as edema, arthralgia, myalgia, nerve compression syndromes including carpal tunnel syndrome/paraesthesias) may frequently occur and is usually transient and dose-dependent.
Hypoadrenalism: Patients who have or are at risk for pituitary hormone deficiency(s) may be at risk for reduced serum cortisol levels and/or unmasking of central (secondary) hypoadrenalism. In addition, patients treated with glucocorticoid replacement for previously diagnosed hypoadrenalism may require an increase in their maintenance or stress doses following initiation of Norditropin® treatment.
Hypothyroidism if undiagnosed/untreated, may prevent an optimal response to Norditropin®, in particular, the growth response in pediatric patients. In patients with GHD, central (secondary) hypothyroidism may first become evident or worsen during somatropin treatment. Periodic thyroid function tests and thyroid hormone replacement therapy should be initiated or adjusted when indicated.
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis in pediatric patients may occur more frequently in patients with endocrine disorders or in patients undergoing rapid growth. Pediatric patients with the onset of a limp or complaints of hip or knee pain should be evaluated.
Progression of preexisting scoliosis in pediatric patients can occur in patients who experience rapid growth. Patients with a history of scoliosis should be monitored for progression.
Pancreatitis: Cases of pancreatitis have been reported. Pancreatitis should be considered in any patient who develops persistent severe abdominal pain.
Lipoatrophy: Tissue atrophy may result when somatropin is administrated subcutaneously at the same site over a long period of time. Rotate injection sites when administering Norditropin® to reduce this risk.
Pregnancy and Nursing Mothers: There are limited data with somatropin use in pregnant women and nursing mothers to inform a drug-associated risk for adverse developmental outcomes.
Geriatric Use: The safety and effectiveness in patients aged 65 and over has not been evaluated in clinical studies.
Fuchs GS, Mikkelsen S, Knudsen TK, Kappelgaard A-M. Ease of use and acceptability of a new pen device for the administration of growth hormone therapy in pediatric patients: an open-label, uncontrolled usability test. Clin Ther. 2009;31(12):2906-2914.

Some key sources of data used in this publication are produced by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) and Geoscience Australia. For information about these two Commonwealth government agencies please see About ABARE and Geoscience Australia - Our Role.
Energy Account, Australia 2006-07 (ABS Cat. no. 4604.0) presents physical supply and use data by energy product and industry for 6 years to 2006-07. Associated experimental monetary energy use data are provided for 2004-05. The combined physical and monetary data allows analysis to better understand energy use patterns in Australia. Energy Account, Australia 2006-07 also analyses energy intensity trends for some major industries over 30 years to 2006-07. There is also data on energy stocks, both in physical and monetary terms.
Energy Account, Australia 2006-07 is released within 2 years of the end of the reference period and contains the latest available ABARE data for physical supply and use. Monetary data for 2004-05 was adapted from the latest available ABS Input Output data. At present, this publication is only planned for the 2006–07 reference year.
Physical data in Energy Account, Australia 2006-07 is based on ABARE's Australian Energy Statistics. This data has been adjusted to better accord with an industry-based ANZSIC view using data from the ABS Economic Activity Survey, Survey of Motor Vehicle Use and Household Expenditure Survey. Other data used in this process were from Energy Use in the Australian Government's Operations (Australian Greenhouse Office).
For details about the collections underpinning Australia's Energy Statistics, please see the Fuel and Electricity Survey page on the ABARE website.
Data for total physical flows of energy are coherent with data published in the first two editions of 4604.0. The allocation of energy conversions by industry in this edition is not completely coherent with previous editions. This edition is the first to present data on monetary use juxtaposed with physical data.
As data presented in the Energy Account is presented using the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) it allows data in the Energy Account to be related to other economic statistics that use this classification, most notably the Australian System of National Accounts.
An important element of Energy Account, Australia 2006-07 is the juxtaposition of physical and monetary energy use data. The methods used to enable this linkage are explained in appendices to the publication. The monetary data presented are experimental and published Input Output data (ABS cat no. 5209.0.55.001) should still be regarded as the official estimates.
The data contained in this publication comprise the full detail of data compiled for the Energy Account, Australia 2006-07, and as such it would not be possible to provide any further information beyond what is presented in the publication.

You will receive an award letter from Ramapo notifying you of your eligibility for Financial Aid. If you file your FAFSA before March 1, you should receive an award letter from Ramapo College in early April.
How do I apply for New Jersey State Aid?
Application for New Jersey State aid automatically occurs when you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) using Ramapo College's code (009344), and when you complete additional questions required by the New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA). These additional questions can be accessed directly from the FAFSA by selecting "optional feature" or by visiting the HESAA website at www.hesaa.org and linking to "Report Additional Information for State Aid."
What types of aid are available?
Financial aid available at Ramapo consists of grants, loans and work-study. Grants are awards that don't have to be paid back, whereas loans must be paid back. Students may also participate in the Federal Work-Study program for the opportunity to earn money at a job either on or off campus.
How does one qualify for aid?
To qualify for aid, the information you report when you complete the FAFSA is used in a formula established by the U.S. Congress that determines expected family contribution (EFC). The EFC is used to determine whether you are eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant and also may be used to determine other types of aid.
How do I qualify for New Jersey State Aid?
Eligibility for New Jersey State aid, including The NJ TAG program for needy students, is defined by the state's own eligibility calculation. Students must also be registered for at least 12 credits to be eligible.
Is there a filing deadline for New Jersey State Aid?
Yes, there are filing deadlines for New Jersey State Aid. For first-time FAFSA filers, it is September 15 for the current academic year. For continuing students, it is April 15 prior to the start of the Fall semester.
What factors are considered to determine eligibility for aid?
Some of the key determinants considered in determining eligibility include income, assets, household size and the number of students attending college.
What loans are available?
The major Federal loan program is the Direct Loan. Freshmen can borrow up to $5,500, sophomores $6,500 and juniors and seniors $7,500. There are two types of Stafford loans: a subsidized loan based on need and an unsubsidized loan that is not need-based. Alternative loans from private lenders are also available.
What is the difference between a Federal Direct Subsidized and an Unsubsidized Loan?
The difference between a Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan is as follows: A subsidized loan is based on need; an unsubsidized loan is not need-based. Also, a student with a subsidized loan does not pay interest on that loan while in school. A student with an unsubsidized loan will be charged interest from the time the loan is disbursed. If you allow the interest to accumulate, it will be capitalized, that is, it will be added to the principal amount and additional interest will be based on the higher amount. The borrowing limits for both subsidized and unsubsidized loans are the same.
Does the interest rate on the Federal Direct Loan change?
The interest rate on Federal Direct Loans changes June 30 of each year.
When do I have to start repaying the Federal Direct Loan?
Repayment of your Federal Direct loans begins after you graduate, leave school or drop below half-time enrollment. You have 6 months to begin repayment. For unsubsidized loan recipients, you may wish to pay interest as it accrues.
How do I go about getting an outside scholarship credited to my account at Ramapo?
To credit Outside Scholarships to your account, send your original award letter or letter of intent from the donor to the Office of Student Accounts with your name, social security number and details (amount, semester of award, etc.). It will then be posted as an estimated credit until such time as the donor sends a check to the Office of Student Accounts directly.
Does Ramapo College offer merit scholarships based on academic achievement in high school? How do I apply??
Ramapo College offers a number of scholarships for incoming freshmen based on academic achievement. All freshman applicants are reviewed for scholarship eligibility.
Are there other "outside" scholarships available and how do I apply for them?
There are literally scores of scholarships available from various private sources. Books and websites dedicated to aiding students are good sources of information.
Is Financial Aid available in the Summer Session?
In order to receive Title IV aid for the summer term, students must be matriculated and file a FAFSA for the prior aid year. To qualify for a Stafford or PLUS loan, the student must be enrolled for 6 or more credits. Alternative Loans are also available for the summer term. Students who are not matriculating at Ramapo may refer to the "Applying for Aid" section of the Ramapo College Financial Aid Web page.
Is Financial Aid available in the Winter Session?
In general, students matriculating at Ramapo are not eligible for financial aid funds to cover winter classes. However, students may consider the options of using the refund from their fall semester (if applicable) or taking out an alternative student loan in the Fall semester. Students should speak with their Financial Aid advisor to review the account to determine what options are available. Students who are not matriculating at Ramapo may refer to the "Applying for Aid" section of the Ramapo College Financial Aid Web page.
If you need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to stop by or call the Office of Financial Aid.


My early life was full of changes; many moves, a new country, many schools, friends and family left behind. In these years I learned to embrace change, the one constant in my life. While change can be unwelcome and difficult at times, it also presents opportunities for growth and learning. When life became calmer I sought out these opportunities and became committed to lifelong learning.
While my career allowed for creativity of a sort, and lots of learning, it was constrained by corporate needs. So, for me, my private creative pursuits became a freedom that I cherished over the years. I've drawn, painted, embroidered, crocheted, stitched and made pottery. I've filled books with poetry and writing.
The ways of transforming materials and ideas into new shapes and forms has infinite variety. My creative process involves nurturing an idea from a seed of thought, watching it grow and take form and then, suddenly, it's out of control and chaotic, giving rise to more ideas and variations. Harvesting this chaos to produce results is, for me, the most challenging and important part of creating. I love this process, the transformation from one form to another, the surprises along the way. Textiles are a relatively new medium for me, which means I am learning a lot, and that makes me happy. Working with fabric tends to generate tiny scraps and trimmings which I like to work with, placing them like bits of paint, to create the images and texture that I want.
My subject matter varies but is always colourful. I find inspiration in the natural world, family and hiking trips to other parts of the world. I take lots of photographs and never really know what will capture my attention next. Some of my work is about the transformation - can I create this effect with fabric? Some of it is about making small things visible, larger than life and full of colour. In my wall art I am trying to capture a moment of beauty and joy before it is gone, carried away and transformed into something else. I also enjoy taking the experiments and failures of creating and changing them into something functional and beautiful such as bags, book covers, and lap quilts.

Hannah Campbell
Peoples' choice award
Cells that work together, stay together
Hannah is a fourth-year biochemistry graduate student in Dr. Kris DeMali's lab. She completed her BS in biochemistry at the University of Iowa and was the pioneering student of the U2G Program. This program enabled her to combine her senior year of undergraduate study with her first year of graduate studies, giving her a head-start on research training. Her research focuses on how cells sense their environment and respond to changes. Specifically, she focuses on how cells resist applied forces, like breathing or lactation, through a process known as cell stiffening. By studying this, she hopes to help scientists understand the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) that occurs in cancer. The Iowa Biosciences Academy (IBA) is one program that played a big role in setting her academic and research goals. IBA enabled her to begin research as an undergraduate freshman, which let her discover my passion for research at an early stage in her academic career. When Hannah is not in lab, she enjoys cooking and baking and obsessively reading her Book of the Month subscription book!

The Green Corridor is a not-for-profit organization which has proposed a green landscape concept along the roadway leading to the Ambassador Bridge, the major international crossing between Canada and the USA. In addition to improving the aesthetics of this mostly concrete and industrialized transportation route, the Green Corridor group had the added goal of wanting to improve the soundscape of the nearby neighbourhoods with innovated landscape designs. The high levels of traffic noise within the area are the result from this roadway being one of the busiest land trade corridors in the world. This study analyzed the changes proposed by the Green Corridor action group from an acoustic engineering perspective. The study first measured and modeled existing environmental noise conditions which included the implementation of a reverse engineering exercise to ensure an accurate acoustic map. This was followed by a second model to predict the expected noise levels with the implementation of the Green Corridor design proposals. As a result, this study was able to identify some areas where the proposed Green Corridor changes, if implemented, would be effective in reducing the local environmental noise levels. Other areas were identified where the proposed designs would have no positive acoustic benefit and would require additional abatement if the affected residential area were to meet provincial noise guidelines. A discussion of the benefits of good acoustic design, as well as improved noise legislation is also included. Finally, this study explored the possible physical and psychological health effects to residents living in those areas exposed to severe noise levels.

On Tuesday, November 30, we had dads and moms and grandparents and cousins and brothers and sisters all eating donuts together with their favorite students at Jonathan Valley. We also used this time to have students sign our Internet and Social Media Safety Pledge banner in the cafeteria lobby. In addition to all of that activity, our fall book fair was open to students and guests. What a fantastic morning to be a JVES Panther!!


Other the Pollo Campero, there aren't any other Guatemalan restaurants in the city that I'm aware of. And it doesn't appear that Tierras Centro Americanas is going out of its way to get the word out (my editor had to call and plead for 15 minutes to convince the owner to allow us to send a photographer for an article on lesser known Latin American food…and then they didn't end up using a photo anyway). This place used to be called Xelaju and appears to have recently changed names. There's also a Salvadoran flag on the wall and pupusas on the menu, which might reflect new ownership. The clientele seemed heavily Guatemalan, though.
Unless you live in Eastern Queens, getting to this little storefront is a bit of a trek. And once you arrive, the scene might be mildly conflicting. On my visit the staff seemed very nervous and reluctant to approach us. I wasn't sure if it was the language barrier, if they thought I was going to deport them or what. I almost felt in need of one of those worry dolls. But the Sunday afternoon customers were insanely friendly. Nearly someone at every table wanted to help us order and make suggestions.
A large family suggested that I take a picture of who appeared to be the matriarch in a traditional dress. Unfortunately, I couldn't catch what it was called or the region it was from. A guy at the table on my other side confided that these handmade dresses can cost $1,000 and are for special occasions. Hey, why can't soup in Jamaica be a special occasion?
I was only able to sample a few items so I can't speak with expertise on Guatemalan food. It's not like Mexican but they do serve thick fresh corn tortillas with everything. It was recommended that I order a soup so I tried caldo de res, a hearty beef concoction that felt fortifying and healthy as it was teeming with vegetables like green beans, chayote, potatoes, yucca, carrots and cabbage. That would've been plenty, but I had to try the salpicon because it sounded so crazy and un-Hispanic. With chopped beef, cilantro, onion, lime juice and radishes served with rice it was suspiciously similar to Thai larb. It's not spicy and has the oddball radish, but it felt Asian. James lamed out and had tacos, which are probably what Americans would call flautas, little rolled up things.
Tierras is the kind of place where the jukebox will spontaneously blast Spanish death metal and then segue into a sappy ballad and Chinese women go table to table hawking bootleg dvds and customers actually buy them. One mom snatched up Snakes on a Plane (and a Sponge Bob disc) a day after opening in the theaters. That's so not Carroll Gardens and I totally appreciate that.
Though I can't tell from the picture, she looks to be wearing her daily clothes, and not the ceremonial garb (which the women often make themselves, taking more than 150 hours of labor, and are adorned with localized figures of flowers or birds).
The top is called a "huipil" (pronouced weepeel) and the skirt is a "corte," though i cannot remember now what the belt/sash is called.
Admittedly, I'm no expert in indigenous Guatemalan fashion. I only had what I was being told to go on. There are next to no Guatemalans in NYC either, so I may never see another hupil again.

Celebrating Whistler's World Cup Downhill Races
Historically, in the month of March, Whistler would be hosting a World Cup Downhill event. Up to 500 weasel workers would be working 12-hour days preparing the racecourse, installing safety nets and removing and moving snow throughout the course. These volunteers were as important to the success of the event as the downhill racers themselves.
Thousands of ski-race fans would descend on Whistler, filling up hotels and making reservations a necessity to eat at many of the world-class restaurants in Whistler Village. Pubs and bars would be full to capacity and the village would be enshrouded in a party-like atmosphere for close to two weeks.
Whistler attempted to host its first World Cup race on March 7, 1979. Due to weather, the race was cancelled. Three years later, in 1982, Whistler successfully hosted the World Cup Downhill event. This race took place on a course on the north side of Whistler and its finish was in the newly completed Whistler Village.
Peter Müller of Switzerland finished in first place and two Crazy Canucks, Steve Podborski and Dave Irwin, finished second and third, respectively. The 1982 race was capped off with a huge celebration because Podborski tied Müller for the overall Downhill World Cup title.
Thousands upon thousands of spectators jam Whistler Village Square for the World Cup presentations. Whistler Question Collection, 1982.
This would be the only race held on this course. Racers complained the north side course was too flat and Müller even joked that he should bring his cross-country skis to the next one. The downhill course was moved back to the south-side course and every other World Cup Downhill race held in Whistler was held on this course. The racecourse was later renamed after Crazy Canuck Dave Murray, who succumbed to cancer in 1990.
Whistler hosted the World Cup Downhill event again in 1984 and two years later in 1986. In 1989, Rob Boyd became the first Canadian to win a World Cup race on home soil. If you ask many Whistlerites here at the time, they can tell you where they were when Boyd crossed the finish line.

Prior to the Olympic Games hosted in 2010, the last successful Downhill Men's event was held in 1995.
From 1996 to 1998, the FIS moved the North American stops to earlier in the race season, leading to three consecutive cancellations of the Whistler stop on the World Cup circuit due to snow and weather conditions.
Will Whistler host another World Cup Downhill race? Or will it be an event that only appears in Whistler's past?

The FIS Fiasco of 1979
With the world watching, the mountain began to fall apart.
It was early March 1979, and heavy rains had turned a mid-winter snowpack already beset by persistent depth hoar into a sodden mess. The avalanche hazard went through the roof. This was a mountain manager's nightmare, but as they say, "through adversity comes greatness."
Patrol began doing what came naturally; they bombed everything that could move. As long-time Whistler pro patroller Roger McCarthy recalls, "in a normal day, that avalanche hazard in itself would be enough to give you grey hair. But we had a world cup to run…"
Roger McCarthy at left, with Bruce Watt and Ken Moyle going over wind data, mid-1970s. George Benjamin photo.
That's right. Whistler was experiencing one of the most volatile avalanche cycles in memory, and we were just days away from hosting the resort's first ever FIS World Cup downhill skiing race.
A few days before the race, some FIS officials insisted on riding the gondola up to check on conditions. While standing on the loading ramp at the bottom of red chair they witnessed Goat's Gully shed its snow right to the ground. The avalanche even damaged one of the Orange Chair's towers. Further downslope, a slide on Lower Insanity had left debris piles five feet high on Coach's Corner. This was not the auspicious debut on the world stage that Whistler had planned for.
"In a normal day, that avalanche hazard in itself would be enough to give you grey hair. But we had a world cup to run…"
Still, mountain staff managed to clean up the mess and the forecast for race day was cold and clear. However, FIS officials deemed that safety requirements had not been met and the race could not run. As a new course with a relatively small budget, the safety infrastructure was not at the same level as some of the more established European courses, but some suspected politics as the true reason for the cancellation.
This was the era of the upstart Crazy Canucks trying to crack the European-dominated world of ski racing, and some feathers were being ruffled in the process. Regardless, with so much invested, it was going to be a major letdown for the organizers, the resort, the sponsors, and the tens of thousands of fans expected to be in attendance.
The night before the race, sensing it would be cancelled, Canadian ski racing legend Nancy Greene came up with an idea to salvage the event. They ran an exhibition Super G race, the first ever, instead. It wouldn't count as a World Cup, but as local writer Janet Love Morrison described in her book The Crazy Canucks, it would entertain the crowds, satisfy the sponsors, and demonstrate the spirit and ingenuity of Whistler, and Canada as a whole.

And just in case anyone was wondering how the racers really felt about the cancellation over safety concerns, when it was Crazy Canuck Ken Read's turn to race the exhibition course, he ignored the Super G gates and tucked the entire course at full speed, much to the crowd's approval.
Ken Read addressing the crowd, with Steve Podborski to viewer's left.
"Everyone—racers, fans, and media—had a good time," Morrison recalled.
And so, in 1979, with the ski racing world focused on Whistler, nearly everything that could go wrong did. But somehow we still managed to get things right.

Dave Murray: Whistler's First Home-Grown Hero
Dave Murray is one of the most well-known names and highly adored athletes in Whistler's history. Thought of as Whistler's very first home-grown hero, Murray grew up skiing on Whistler Mountain, and is originally from Abbotsford, British Columbia.
Murray had a late start in his ski racing career, as he didn't start racing seriously until he was 16 years old. This, of course, did not stop him from achieving great professional heights. In 1974, at 21 years old, Murray became a member of the Canadian Alpine Ski Team. He spent the following eight years as a founding member of the Crazy Canucks, the downhill team that captured our hearts in the 1970s and 80s with their "crazy" racing style. In Murray's best season (1975-76) he had four top-ten finishes. In 1979, he was overall Canadian Champion and was ranked third in the world in downhill. He also represented Canada at the 1976 and 1980 Olympic games.

After 10 years on the competitive ski racing circuit Murray retired to become the director of skiing at Whistler Mountain, as well as the organizer and lead instructor of the summer ski camps. In 1984, the name of Whistler's most popular summer ski camp was officially changed to Atomic Dave Murray Whistler Summer Ski Camp, and its fame grew to attract many skiers from Europe and Japan. Murray also organized masters ski racing for adults (an idea he imported from Europe).
Stephanie Sloan, ca. 1980.
On Tuesday, October 23rd, 1990, Dave Murray passed away after battling skin cancer. He was just 37 years old, leaving behind his wife and best friend Stefanie Sloan, and daughter Julia Murray. Stephanie was a pioneer in freestyle skiing and a world champion, and Julia became a member of Canada's Ski Cross Team, and competed at the 2010 Olympics. Both continue to call Whistler home.
Dave Murray had a major influence on the world of ski racing, but perhaps what is most inspirational about his story is that he had a genuine love for skiing. His free time was spent free skiing. He took any chance he could get to explore and carve down obscure, off-piste runs, exuding pure joy on his descends. "It's that unbelievable sense of freedom you get when you're free-falling through the powder," he tells friend Michel Beaudry. "It's like nothing else on earth."
