UNF students urging lawmakers not to hike tuition
Submitted by FirstCoastNews Web Staff
Thursday, January 10th, 2013, 12:41am
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Students at the 11 schools in the State University System of Florida are rallying together to try to keep tuition from going up next year. Florida law allows a 15% tuition increase, and for the past several years it has gone up.
"I struggle to pay for it every semester," said University of North Florida student Amanda Weimar.
The 19-year-old junior is hoping to graduate with a degree in psychology, but if the cost of tuition keeps going up, she said she may not be able to afford it.
"It really is a big deal right now because I'm struggling to pay for my books this semester."

Owner of new home: "I have mold, puddles on my windows"
Wednesday, January 9th, 2013, 9:19pm
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-- Dense condensation on the windows and mold growing on the walls. Those are just two issues that a Jacksonville woman said are wrong with her brand new home. She called the On Your Side team for help.
"This was a place to retire and enjoy. I'm not enjoying it," Denise Criscitiello said.
It is a home at the Sweetwater subdivision that Criscitiello moved into in November 2011 from New York. She expected happiness.
"No, I'm not happy. It's a brand new home," she said. "I came here not to have things to do. I don't really feel like wiping windows everyday."
She claims condensation forms on and near the windows.
"I have mold and puddles on my windows," Criscitiello said "Puddles like you took glasses of water and poured them on there."
Can a trillion dollar coin help with national debt?
Submitted by Jeff Marcu, Anchor/Investigative Reporter
Tuesday, January 8th, 2013, 7:25pm
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It's a suggestion so radical, one Congressman plans to introduce a bill to block it. There are some proposals out there to solve our national debt crisis with a coin.
Nenad Djondric knows coins. He owns A Penny for Your Thoughts Coin Shop in Jacksonville. So we took this proposal of creating a one trillion dollar platinum coin to help pay down the nation's more than 16 trillion dollar debt directly to the expert on precious metals.
"It's nonsense. It's just not possible to do," Djondric suggested.
A New Year means new laws for Florida drivers
Tuesday, January 1st, 2013, 7:13pm
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.- It is a new year in the Sunshine State and on Florida's roadways there are some new laws in effect.
To start, say you want to flash your headlights to warn other drivers about nearby police.
"Just to alert," said Kim Rolfe, of Jacksonville. "It's just a courtesy to let other driver's know 'Hey, you're about to pass a cop.'"
Before the new year, that was illegal in Florida.
"I did not know that that was illegal!" Rolfe shouted with a laugh. "I thought I was just doing something nice for my fellow drivers!"
As of January 1, 2013, it's now legal, after the state legislature cleared up the law.
"So, it could be a good law to aide in safety," William Lee, of St. Augustine, said Tuesday morning. "So, I think it's good."
If you're ever in an accident, there's another law you should know about. It's about the personal injury protection (PIP) portion of your Florida policy.
Deployed father surprises five-year-old daughter with homecoming
Thursday, December 20th, 2012, 12:56am
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Many of our military men and women will spend the holidays serving the country and away from family. However, that won't be the case for one First Coast man.
Stationed on the USS Hue City, Navy Petty Officer Second Class John Legezdh had been out to sea since June. He wasn't supposed to be home until March 2013, but an early homecoming meant a Christmas surprise for his five-year-old daughter, Brianna.
"I haven't been able to hold her for six months," says Legezdh. "She did her Santa letter and I was the first thing: 'Bring daddy home.'"
This would have been the first Christmas Brianna would have spent without her daddy, but an unexpected change in plans during his deployment overseas made her wish come true.
First Coast Gears: Cars & Coffee, Big George show
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, December 14th, 9:24 pm
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A dreary day couldn't keep car and motorcyclist enthusiasts away from the 4th Annual Big George Car and Bike Show last Saturday. The annual event honored the life and memory of George Wolfe, a guy that loved hot rods, bikes, loud music, food and being surrounded by folks having fun.
Held at Adamec Harley-Davidson on Baymeadows, music was provided by Rip Currents while local car clubs brought along their rides.
Among the modern classics was Oscar Toledo's 2010 Dodge Challenger, which he's customized with a Christian motif. "Well my Challenger, I use it as a way to get people to know God and to give them Bibles for those that don't have any. Not just for adults but also for kids," said Toledo.
The engine bay features a dress-up kit that Toledo purchased online. He then had a Middleburg fireman paint it with crosses.
Other custom touches include a custom hidden headlights grille, LED lighting throughout and a monster sound system.

Companies and people are taking to Google to find the best "social media management tools" to help them keep up.
Do consumers understand the actual point of social media tools and how can they help you create a competitive advantage using social?
You could use tools like Buffer, Hootsuite, Sprout Social, Sendible among others for your social media management needs.
Many people are a bit confused about what social media management really means and how tools can help them achieve a competitive advantage, consider these 10 reasons you should be using a social media management tool for your business in the first place.
Social media has made it easier than ever for customers to reach out to brands they want to interact with. Whether it's asking questions, singing praises or voicing constructive criticism, customers now have a direct channel for giving brands their feedback, and they're taking full advantage.
Kenya Power and Lighting Company customers can now know where and when power interruptions happen just by monitoring the KPLC social media pages unlike befor when one had to read it from the printed newspaper.
Responding to customer messages on social shows that you care, and taking the few seconds to respond can result in a loyal customer.
A good number of businesses have multiple social profiles and networks for their marketing efforts, which can make managing social exponentially more complex.
Social media tools can aggregate the messages sent to all of your profiles and networks into one spot, saving you the time and effort needed to constantly juggle accounts.
Every customer is unique and it's important to treat them as such. A social media management tool allows you to keep notes about those you've interacted with and tracks your conversation history so that you can personalize every experience.
If you're working with a large account or several smaller accounts, you may run into issues like having multiple people respond to the same message, or having messages completely slip through the cracks.
A social media management tool will show you when someone is currently interacting with a message, and lets you complete that message to clear it from your inbox.
A smart social media management platform can reduce your brand's risk by providing additional layers and permissions so only trusted employees can actually send messages to your profiles. If something ever slips through the cracks, you'll have visibility into who sent the inappropriate message, enabling you to deal with each situation accordingly.
Customers complaining or praising your brand may not directly tag your page. In fact, a lot of people will probably mention your brand or products assuming that you'll never even see the message. That's why it's important to monitor social media networks for these conversations so that you can join them and respond as needed. There are some key things to monitor across social sites.
In order to plan for the future it's important to look at the past so you can determine what worked and what didn't. Social tools provide you with data you can use to dictate your marketing strategy moving forward. When looking through your data, use these questions to help make sense of the data.
Use the information you learn from above when planning your social strategy. For example, if you find that posts with images are more likely to get shared, it may be best to schedule more image-based social posts.
Even if you're not ready to start using a social tool, hopefully this post sheds some light into how they've become so popular, and gives you an idea of what to look for when you want to try one out for yourself. And if you're not in a position to handle your social media pages, you can outsource that to a digital firm like Kendesk and you don't have to worry about social media management tools.

Pulsar Instruments Building Export Sales In The Southern Hemisphere
Simon Rehill, General Manager of Pulsar Instruments has been a designer, manufacturer and supplier of world-leading occupational sound measurement solutions for 50 years
by Laura Jenkins | Monday 15 April 2019
Simon has been travelling the southern hemisphere recently catching up with some of our reputable Sales Partners in the Antipodes and South Africa. During his trip, he met with our partners SKC in South Africa, Accurate in New Zealand and Acoustic Research Labs in Australia.
Simon, who started out with Pulsar as Export Sales Manager, said: "I primarily joined Pulsar to help support our international distributor network and our growing worldwide business, it's great to put this into practice by visiting as many of our overseas partners as possible."
"I'm dedicated to growing our global distribution network and helping our export partners find the right markets for our noise meters, dosemeters and other sound measurement solutions" he said, "We believe the right way to do this is to train them in how to use our products face to face so they can truly understand the potential that they offer customers in their markets" Simon added.
Whilst in Australia Simon was also able to meet with a new potential Sales Partner in Brisbane, and train them in the products and to discover opportunities to work together in the future to further grow our export business in Australia. "We recognise, that our global network of sales partners plays a crucial role in the growth or our business and we are always looking for opportunities to work with companies around the world."
Last year, Simon was also able to visit our sales partners in East Asia including Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, and also several of our European distributors with more visits planned for latest this year.
Ambitious Plans
Exporting sound measurement solutions around the world for 50 years, Pulsar Instruments is a world-leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of noise products such as occupational sound level meters, personal noise dosimeters and noise-activated warning signs.
The company was formed in 1969 and since then has enjoyed continued growth for its noise products both in the UK and internationally. As our global business continues to grow, we are actively seeking new ambitious partners to allow the Pulsar brand to reach every corner of the globe.
Pulsar currently supplies thousands of noise measurement instruments to around the world; across Asia, Africa, Australasia, Europe and North and South America, and we are actively seeking new ambitious partners. We give our partners access to our range of innovative, world-leading noise products, and provide plenty of marketing and training support to our partners so they can grow their business, enhance their reputations, and become the best supplier of noise measurement instruments available in their territories.
We build strong effective partnerships with our partners to ensure our customers receive the first class service and support they expect from Pulsar Instruments.

Q: Swift AnyObject as String dynamic cast failed I have an Int that I saved in Parse as an AnyObject.  When I retrieve the AnyObject? and try to cast it as a String, NSString, NSNumber, or anything else, I keep getting an EXC_Breakpoint as the casting is returning Nil and there's a "Swift dynamic cast failed" error".
I tried to create this simple test to figure out which part fails, but the crazy thing is that this test will pass where seemingly all the steps are the same:
func testAnyObjectCasting(){
    var myInt32: Int32 = 265
    var myInt: Int = Int(myInt32)
    var myAnyObject: AnyObject? = myInt as AnyObject
    var myAnyArray: [[AnyObject]] = [[AnyObject]]()
    myAnyArray.append(["something", myAnyObject!])
    println(myAnyObject)
    var myOtherAnyObject: AnyObject? = myAnyArray[0][1]
    println(myOtherAnyObject)
    var myString:NSNumber? = myOtherAnyObject as? NSNumber
    println(myString)
    var myInt2: Int = myString! as Int
}

Here's the relevant code snippets from my logic, and notes that println() works fine until the downcast to NSNumber, at which time Nil is returned:
   //ABRecordGetRecordId returns an ABRecordID, which is of type Int32
   //This value that's stored in the 2nd column of the multiDim [[AnyObject]]
   var personId: Int = Int(ABRecordGetRecordID(person))

   //This is a call to a Parse object, which returns an AnyObject.  I then cast that to
   //a multidimensional array AnyObject as that's the true structure of the data in swift speak
   var deviceContacts: [[AnyObject]] = device?[deviceContactsFieldName] as [[AnyObject]]

   //This returns the expected value, which in my broader test case is 99999, which is supported by Int
   var i:Int = 1
   println("the value in device contacts \(i) column 1 is: \(deviceContacts[i][1])")

   //This takes a single cell value from the multidim array and puts it in an optional AnyObject
   var valueInParse: AnyObject? = deviceContacts[i][1]

   //This still returns 99999
   println(valueInParse)

   //This is where 99999 is replaced with nil.  Any ideas?
   var valueNSNumberInParse: NSNumber? = valueInParse as? NSNumber

   //Nil :(
   println(valueNSNumberInParse)

   //Exception as I'm trying to unwrap nil :(
   var unwrappedNSNumber:NSNumber = valueNSNumberInParse!

Part of my frustration is that I don't understand why println() works fine for AnyObject but all the casting fails.  Clearly there's code that can interpret the value as a string to show for println, but that syntax eludes me for proper casting.

A: Because you have saved an Int into Parse and an Int is not an object it had to be converted to an object. It seems that the Parse framework has converted it to an NSValue, which is effectively a byte buffer that represents an intrinsic type.
You could try and convert these bytes back to an Int, but it is easier and better to encode the value into an NSNumber before storing it in the Parse object - then you will be easily able to handle it when you retrieve the object.

National flag - Flag of Tuvalu
National flag > Flag of Tuvalu
Flag of Tuvalu
The current flag of Tuvalu was instated when the country became independent in 1978, after the separation from the Gilbert Islands in 1976.
Like many former and current British dependencies, the Tuvaluan flag is a blue ensign based on the Union Flag, which is shown in the upper left canton of the flag; but has a sky blue field rather than the conventional blue. The previous flag (with the Gilberts) was also based on the Union Flag but with the coat of arms created by Sir Arthur Grimble in 1932, the resident commissioner of the British colony.
The stars represent the nine islands which comprise Tuvalu; the arrangement is geographically correct, with the east towards the top (i.e. north to the left).
The first inhabitants of Tuvalu were Polynesian people. The islands came within the British Empire's sphere of influence in the late 19th century. The Ellice Islands were administered by Britain as part of a protectorate from 1892 to 1916 and as part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony from 1916 to 1974. In 1974 the Ellice Islanders voted for separate British dependency status as Tuvalu, separating from the Gilbert Islands which became Kiribati upon independence. Tuvalu became a fully independent Commonwealth realm in 1978.
The name "Tuvalu" means "eight together", referring to the eight islands which were inhabited. In October 1995 one of the stars on the flag was removed to conform with the country's name. By January 1996 the flag was replaced with a new one which was not based on the British flag, but the eight stars were retained. This flag, however, was not liked by the inhabitants, who felt that it was a move towards replacing the popular Tuvaluan monarchy with a republic. The old flag was re-instated in 1997, with all nine stars being restored. Population pressures have since resulted in the ninth island being settled.

Country - Tuvalu
Tuvalu ( or ), formerly known as the Ellice Islands, is a Polynesian island country located in the Pacific Ocean, situated in Oceania, about midway between Hawaii and Australia. It lies east-northeast of the Santa Cruz Islands (which belong to the Solomon Islands), southeast of Nauru, south of Kiribati, west of Tokelau, northwest of Samoa and Wallis and Futuna, and north of Fiji. It comprises three reef islands and six true atolls spread out between the latitude of 5° to 10° south and longitude of 176° to 180°, west of the International Date Line. Tuvalu has a population of 10,640 (2012 census). The total land area of the islands of Tuvalu is 26 km2.
The first inhabitants of Tuvalu were Polynesians. The origins of the people of Tuvalu are addressed in the theories regarding migration into the Pacific that began about 3000 years ago. During pre-European-contact times there was frequent canoe voyaging between the islands as Polynesian navigation skills are recognised to have allowed deliberate journeys on double-hull sailing canoes or outrigger canoes. The pattern of settlement that is believed to have occurred is that the Polynesians spread out from Samoa and Tonga into the Tuvaluan atolls, with Tuvalu providing a stepping stone to further migration into the Polynesian outliers in Melanesia and Micronesia.

The page of Kukorelly Endre, English biography
[Hungarian] [German] [English] [Italian] [Romanian]
Endre Kukorelly was born and raised in Budapest, where he worked as a librarian for the local Literary Museum before completing his study of Hungarian literature. In the 1980s he worked as an editor and correspondent for several literary reviews. For the past ten years he has been co-editor of the weekly review Magyar Narancs ('Hungarian Orange') and the Hungarian Lettre Internationale.
He teaches creative writing at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest.
Literary critics were quick to acknowledge the poet Kukorelly: in 1985 he received the Hungarian Literature Prize for the best debut collection, in 1992 the Vilenica Prize and in 1993 the prestigious József-Attila Prize.
A striking feature of Kukorelly's work is his rejection of the elements of Hungarian poetry that had been its hallmarks for centuries: the sublime and the patriottic. His language, ordinary, almost that of everyday speech, perfectly fits his subjects: commonplace, meaningless events such as a visit to the beach, or searching for a lost key.
Often his poetry and prose texts are hard to distinguish between, being so alike in form and content that most of the distinction may be in the layout.
From the perspective of an emotionless observer, Kukorelly describes that which usually remains unnoticed. But the way he does this lends unexpected significance to the insignificant, and a sense of alienation may ensue. A subtle irony, often at his own expense, is part of Kukorelly's tone.


I've been working at Summit Chiropractic and Massage since March of 2016. I studied massage therapy at Sensory Development Institute at the Green Valley Spa in Utah, and graduated with my national's certification in June of 2004. After graduating, I moved to Alaska where I spent 9 years working in a chiropractic clinic as well as several years in a spa setting. Although I gravitated earlier in my career to focus more on the medical aspects of working in a Chiropractic setting, my experience in both areas has helped me create a unique blend of deep tissue therapeutic massage.
My technique allows my clients the benefit of medical massage while enjoying the relaxation they might otherwise receive in a spa. I specialize in deep tissue with a focus on neck and low back issues. I also incorporate trigger point therapy, myofacial release and Swedish modalities to most massages. And for expecting mothers, I'm also prenatal certified. My interests include experiencing the outdoor beauty of the Pacific North West such as hiking, traveling and spending time with my family.
My name is Savannah. I have been a massage therapist since 2016. I obtained my massage certificate through The University of Western States and went on to begin my career working alongside a chiropractic physician. I love the healing environment that massage and chiropractic create together. I am trained in several massage techniques including relaxation, trigger point, gua sha, deep tissue/therapeutic, sports, pin and stretch and myofascial release. I prefer to focus on the use of myofascial release, deep tissue and pin and stretch techniques to aid in quick recovery for my patients.
I am very excited to be working with Dr. Pow and the wonderful staff at Summit Chiropractic & Massage! In my off time I enjoy spending time with my husband and I love to cook because then I get to eat the delectable food.
I'm blessed to be a part of the caring professional team at Summit Chiropractic & Massage since early 2018. I am a graduate from the Body Mechanics School of Myotherapy Massage in Vancouver, Washington. As a Licensed Massage Therapist and member of the AMTA, I receive deep fulfillment by helping people improve their health with the applied benefits of massage therapy. Combining, but not limited to, swedish massage, myofacial release, trigger point therapy and deep tissue, my slow and steady techniques maintain an effective and relaxing treatment. My goal is to relieve pain, increase range of motion, release tension and stiffness, and increase the productivity and enjoyment of life's daily activities for all my clients.
I'm very excited to meet new patients and am privileged to be a part of their health and wellness goals. I look forward to growing and expanding my massage skills through continuing education and adding other modalities to my current practices. I love spending time with my family, outdoors, at the gym, yard sailing and relaxing on sunny sandy beaches. I sincerely look forward to meeting you, and wish you the best wellness of mind, body and soul.
Hello my name is Adrienne. I have been working with Dr. Pow since 2002 and I must say that working here, at Summit Chiropractic, has been the most rewarding job I have ever had. It has been very gratifying over the years to see life changing results in our patients. I, myself, am blessed to have experienced the fantastic benefits of living the chiropractic lifestyle. Being well adjusted has allowed me to enjoy life to the fullest! On my off time I enjoy spending time with family, hiking, working out, and outdoor activities. It is my hope that you feel welcomed and stress free when you visit our office. I am here to help you make that first appointment, deal with insurance or answer any questions you may have.
Hi, my name is Tonya. I have been a stay-at-home momma to my two children for many years, however, now that they are grown I wanted to begin a career in the healthcare industry. I recently attended Everett Community College where I received a certificate in billing and coding and I look forward to growing my skills through in office employment. Although I have only been with Dr. Pow for a short time I really enjoy coming to work where the office focus is on our patient's health and wellness. On my off time I love riding my horses, camping at my property and spending time with my family. I look forward to welcoming you to our practice and getting to know you.


Richmond, Australia - BAE Systems Australia has been awarded a contract from the New Air Combat Capability (NACC) Program to develop an operational model to integrate the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) into the Australian Defence Environment.
Under the nine month contract BAE Systems will work closely with the Australian Defence Force and NACC to develop a model that outlines all requirements for JSF operations and sustainment including maintenance, supply, training needs and fleet asset management.

Nitabiti: Too good to be true ?
Okey maybe i am overreacting quite a bit. But i couldn't help but smile. I am pretty sure i started singing too and i am still waiting to receive complains from my neighbors. The spring was coming, I could felt it in the air, in my heart and most important on my skin. During the winter months I became so pale that i could easily audition for a Twilight and no gram of powder would be needed.
My happiness was interrupted by the little voice in my head whispering ,,it's a trap!". I must admit there was something very, I am telling you, very suspicious about that. Yesterday was the day when the rain was pouring down, the wind was blowing in my face and i felt like i was biking in the areotunnel. Why suddenly it feels like spring? I had no idea and i decided not to bother but enjoy the weather.
After every lecture, on every break I was there. Next to the window. Walking around and looking at the sky talking about how it can't be real. Waiting for a storm, rain, snow. But the sun was still there. It stayed there until the last lecture was over. Everything changed the moment i sit on my bike. This time I couldn't believe it either. It was raining.
It was less surprising than seeing the sun in the morning. Call it luck (or bad luck) but the good weather and the sun came back. When I was sitting in my house. I wasn't even mad - that's how desperate i am for the sun (and maybe because i was a bit proud that i knew it would happen from the beginning!). I feel like now it is time to appreciate the good weather. And maybe learn few of those songs and dances that help bring it back?
Maybe all it needs is encouragement and if i dance around , singing ,,oh sun, sun,sun... oh sun, sun, sun" it will stay longer?
If it will be sunny tomorrow it means i tried.
Would you like to follow each other?! Let me know!!!!
thank you so much x i know , i love it too! and don;t tell anyone but it was on 50% sale!
Te he! Isn't it lovely to see the sun? It's been hiding from me for weeks! I'm about ready to hop on a plane to Africa just because it's the closest warm, sunny place I can think of!


Hearing loss is a decrease in the ability to perceive sounds. It can be partial or total, sudden or gradual, temporary or permanent. It can affect one ear or both. In general, the risk of hearing loss increases with age.
Sound enters the ear and strikes the eardrum. This causes the eardrum to vibrate. The eardrum's vibrations are amplified through the middle ear by three tiny bones. Inside the ear, the vibrations are transformed into nerve impulses. These nerve impulses travel to the brain, where they are interpreted as sounds.

PAC -10
Custom PAC -10 essay paper sample
Buy custom PAC -10 essay paper cheap
Pacific-10 conference, known as Pac-10 is a unique conference by itself. It is basically a college athletic conference. Its main operating area is United States. Participating arena of the conference members is the NCAA's first Division. A number of well known Universities are the members in the conference and they compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision that formerly was known as I-A Divison. It was the higher one among the two levels of the NCAA first Division football competition.
The conference has got ten members. These members are primarily leading universities that are the best in their respective regions. All of them are highly reputed and have relative large student strength. These universities compete in the 22 NCAA sports.
"It was founded as the Athletic Association of Western Universities or AAWU in 1959, and went by the names Big Five, Big Six, and Pacific 8 before becoming the Pacific 10 in 1978. The current commissioner of the conference is Thomas C. Hansen, who has announced that he will retire in July 2009 after 26 years in that position. Hansen will be replaced by Larry Scott Chairman and CEO of the Women's Tennis Association.
Brief History of the Organization
Get 15% off your 1st order Order now
Way back on December 15th, 1915 the Pacific Coast Conference was founded. This also sowed the seeds of the new organization that one sees today. A meeting was held at Oregon Hotel of the city of Portland. Initial charter members were California University at Berkeley, Washington University, Oregon University and Oregon State College. Games were commenced in the year 1918. A year later the Washington State College, now well known as the Washington State University also joined the league. Stanford University followed suit in 1918.
(Source: Games Colleges Play: Scandal and Reform in Intercollegiate Athletics, the Johns Hopkins University Press 1996)
The Early Days - PCC
In the year 1922 the PCC expanded further and included eight teams. They admitted USC and Idaho. Montana joined the Conference in 1924 and by 1928 the membership had grown up to 10. As the noted writer Petersen says on the history of PCC and PAC -
"In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams with the admission of USC and Idaho. Montana joined the Conference in 1924, and in 1928, the PCC grew to 10 members with the addition of UCLA. For many years, the conference split into two divisions for basketball -- a Southern Division comprising the four California schools and a Northern Division comprising the six schools in the Pacific Northwest. In 1950, Montana departed to join the Mountain States Conference. The PCC continued as a nine-team league through 1958."
Subsequently however there were several scandals of got-up games in PCC institutions. The most notable among the were California, USC, Washington, and UCA. Ultimately PCC disbanded in 1959.
When Cal, Stanford, UCLA, USC, and Washington started talking about forming a new conference, retired Admiral Thomas J. Hamilton interceded and suggested the schools consider creating a "power conference." Nicknamed the "Airplane Conference", the five PCC schools would've played with other big schools including Army, Navy, Air Force, Notre Dame, Penn, Penn State, Duke, and Georgia Tech among others. The effort fell through when a Pentagon official vetoed the idea and the service academies backed out.[12]
On July 1, 1959 the Athletic Association of Western Universities was formed, with Cal, Stanford, UCLA, USC, and Washington as charter members. The conference also was popularly known as the Big Five from 1960-1961 Washington State University joined in 1962. The conference was then known as the Big Six.
After the PAC 8 in 1968, Arizona and Arizona State joined the conference making it PAC10 as it is today. Inheriting the PCC's berth in the Rose Bowl it also got encompassed all the eight largest school those were members in PCC. However their charter is different. All PAC 10 members participate in at least one MPSF sports. They also admit some other schools as associate members. As one of the founding members of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, PAC-10 also organizes non-revenue Olympic sports.
Commencing with the 1975 NCAA Men's First Division Basketball Tournament, the PAC 10 started placing large teams in the tournament. By 1985-86

PAC 10 was one of those three remaining conferences that gave automatic NCAA tournament bids to champions of the regular season round robin leagues. Ivy League and Big Ten Conference were the other two. PAC 10 started its modern format in 1987 but was once again changed in 1990 due to opposition from the coaches and players. Moreover the revenue collection was poor.
Game patterns at PAC 10
Ordinarily the top five schools in PAC10 will end up their seasons playing against each other. The season therefore becomes extremely uncertain. As Patric Finlay puts it in his subject "Anyway you define it - The top five schools in the conference finish their seasons essentially playing against each other. Thus far, only two games have been played among the group of UCLA, Cal, Oregon, USC and ASU. Cal beat Oregon. UCLA beat Cal."
Uncertainty is what makes PAC 10 exceptional and stand out among all other programs.
"I think you find out every week, because it is so competitive in the conference, that anything can happen," said Cal coach Jeff Tedford, whose team has been upset two weeks in row, by Oregon State and UCLA. "But obviously Arizona State is a very good football team. The SC-Oregon game should be very competitive as well. Each and every week in this conference is a baattle as well. Nothing ever surprises me in the conference."
Finishing the season ASU will be playing California, Oregon, UCLA, and then will play USC and Arizona in that order.
"It wakes you up, and you're going to find out exactly where you're at each week," Coach Dennis Erickson said. "It's an exciting time for us to be where we're at."
"As the closest Pac-10 race in years enters the backstretch, eyes will be fixed on the best teams in the conference, not just Saturday, but every weekend", writes Associated Press
"We haven't had the attention we've been getting here at Arizona State for a long period of time," Erickson said.
In fact PAC 10 is an excellent avenue for the budding college level athletes to gain recognition nationally and internationally. Over the years it has been organizing periodical events in support of athletes coming from the university campus. Without doubt it is one of the best in the world. "The current commissioner of the conference is Thomas C. Hansen, who has announced that he will retire in July 2009 after 26 years in that position.[1] Hansen will be replaced by Larry Scott, Chairman and CEO of the Women's Tennis Association."
With ten excellent stadiums as the sporting venues in ten states of United States, the opportunities provided are immense. They provide facilities for multiple games but the widest are in the zone of football, basketball and baseball.
Students pursuing games and studies simultaneously could be difficult proposition but that is what Pac 10 provides the students from the universities in United States. In the process it has been able to spot talents in almost every type of games and prospects of budding talents becoming star of the future have brightened consequentially. With multiple scholarship programs and awards for the talented youth they are really doing a great service for development of sports in United States. A look at the PAC 10 mission statement is clear indication of the objectives of the world class athletes' conference of United States.
"Pac-10 Conference Mission Statement"
"1. To maintain a position of national leadership in the conduct of intercollegiate athletics in a manner consistent with the Conference's values.
2. To value adherence to the highest standards of higher education, academic achievement, ethical conduct, sportsmanship, and a continuing commitment to gender equity and ethnic diversity.
3. To sustain the Conference's unparalleled record of athletics excellence.
4. To emphasize the welfare of the student-athlete throughout the enterprise and provide opportunity and encouragement for each participant in a Pac-10 program to acquire a baccalaureate degree and the skills necessary to function as a productive member of society.
5. To assure each member institution's commitment to the Conference's values, and, in so doing, to foster collegial relationships among members and to manage the tensions that frequently surface in a competitive environment.
6. To frequently reassess the scope and quality of the Conference's programs and policies and progressively evaluate new technologies and opportunities to enhance programs."
Education and combination of sports to attain the highest grades of excellence – that is what pac10 stands for and represents.

No matter what the season I always make sure to have ice cream in the freezer for me and the kids to enjoy. Breyers has always been a favorite of ours. Now even more with Breyers Gelato Indulgences our freezer is beyond stocked. There's so many flavors to choose from like: Vanilla Caramel, Raspberry Cheesecake, Tiramisu and Triple Chocolate. If you think those are tempting there's even more deliciousness. Breyers introduced Mint Chocolate in stores now. Wait, hold for it….. three more Breyers Gelato Indulgences in March to tempt your tummies with flavors like: Strawberry Truffle, Cappuccino and Chocolate Caramel. Okay can someone call Breyers and tell them to send me free coupons for life? These flavors are right up our alley. There's so much you can create with these.
My kids and I love making ice cream sundaes, milkshakes or root beer floats. But you don't have to stop there. I've seen hot chocolate with ice cream and even waffles. With Breyers Gelato you can do the same thing. My kids and I recently tried the Mint Chocolate and came up with a recipe for us to enjoy on Valentine's Day.
We started with pound cake, Slice a piece of cake, cut a hole in middle, add Breyers Gelato Mint Chocolate in hole, add chocolate syrup, marshmallows and sprinkles whatever your color choice. You can also add whip cream and a cherry on top if you like. It was soooo good we had to have seconds. I love when my kids get creative and see what ideas they come up with when we work together in the kitchen.
Valentine's Day doesn't have to be once a year and eating ice cream or gelato doesn't have to be eaten once a year so enjoy it with the people you love. I'm ready to try the new flavors in March as well. I'm also ready for my kids and I to come up with more fun recipes.
Which flavor are you excited about trying? Do you have a favorite already?
Disclosure: I was not compensated for this post. Coupons were given for review of product. These opinions are mine 100% as always.
Categories Family, Food, Food Reviews, Fun, Kids, Product Launch, What's Going On?
Love Breyers! Need to try their Gelato. I'm sure it's amazing! Awesome recipe!
The Gelato is awesome. Hope you try the recipe too. Thanks for the comment.

Selected hotels for quarantine to roll out soon: CE

The SAR government is about to tighten its anti-epidemic control at the border by requiring inbound travellers to use designated transport and undergo quarantine in selected hotels, the Chief Executive Carrie Lam said on Saturday. At present, incoming travellers are able to take public transport to the hotel of their choice for their 14-day quarantine. But medical experts say this is a loophole which can increase the spread of Covid-19. Speaking on a radio programme, the CE said officials would soon make changes. "The measure will be comprehensively tightened...to a level that we will have selected hotels [for the travellers]. I know that [officials are] entering the final stage of discussion over the matter," she said. Lam also said her cabinet was reviewing the penalty for individuals and businesses breaking anti-epidemic measures. She said the penalty could be increased because of the public health threat. As to the idea of imposing mandatory testing for the whole population, the CE doubted whether this would be cost effective. "We have to ask ourselves when you do a one-off testing for seven million people, what do we want to achieve? Even if we can find infected cases, does that mean we can cut the transmission links? That would only happen if the border is closed." But the CE said workers in elderly care-homes would soon be included in the mandatory testing scheme and that staff would be required to take the test regularly so they can work and care for the frail elderly. Taxi drivers, meanwhile, will also be asked to take the compulsory Covid-19 tests but they won't be forced to do it regularly, she added. Testing packs will also be distributed at major MTR stations in future. Separately, on the proposal to make all civil servants take an oath of allegiance in one go, the CE said she felt it was reasonable to do it en masse.


Everybody knows that moving, or relocating, can be one of the most stressful activities we will experience! Whether it's moving business premises, or the more stressful and emotional process of moving home, it involves a massive amount of planning and organisation, with a number of different aspects to consider.
Self-storage facilities offer a secure and dry temporary, or longer-term, home for your items. These facilities can offer the latest security features, such as computerised, personal access to your unit, along with monitored security cameras and individually alarmed storage units.
Many of these facilities will also offer guarantees and insurance on your stored items.
It may well be that opting to use self-storage units will be a more economical option than trying to cater for extra storage in other premises. If you have items that aren't essential on an everyday basis, but you want/need to retain anyway, it may be better, and cheaper, to keep them in a secure unit rather than, perhaps, be paying for an extra room in your new property simply to house these items!
Here are some key points to consider when choosing your most appropriate relocation storage units.
Work out exactly how much space you need for your belongings – a way of doing this is to buy sturdy, stackable cardboard boxes and see how much you can fit into them. From there you can gauge how many of these boxes you require and, from that, what size space you will need to store all those stacked boxes.
The best way to utilise your storage unit space is to stack right up to the ceiling – ensuring that the stronger, heavier boxes and items are on the bottom and stack the smaller, lighter and , perhaps more fragile, items on top.
It's a good idea that, if you have metal items (bikes, tools and such), you lightly oil them before long-term storage, to help prevent any potential rusting or degrading.
If storing electrical appliances, such as fridges, freezers and the like, ensure that they are completely defrosted and dried before storage. This will ensure you avoid any mould-inducing damage through retained moisture.
If you properly research and cost your relocation self-storage options, you can greatly reduce the potential stress and pressure in what always proves to be a difficult time and process.

Mariners acquire right-hander Austin Adams in a trade with the Nationals
May 4, 2019 at 2:00 pm Updated May 4, 2019 at 4:21 pm
CLEVELAND – The Mariners added more relief pitching depth on Saturday, completing a small trade for a pitcher with some upside that was available for a small cost.
Seattle acquired right-handed pitcher Austin Adams from the Washington Nationals in exchange for minor league left-handed pitcher Nick Wells and cash considerations.
Adams, who turns 28 on Monday, was designated for assignment by the Nationals on April 30. He was added to Seattle's 40-man roster and optioned to Class AAA Tacoma.
Adams pitched in one game for the Nationals on April 20, allowing one run in one inning of work. He pitched in eight games for Class AAA Fresno, recording a save with a 2.70 ERA. In 10 innings pitched, he struck out 20 batters with three walks.
While he was general manager of the Angels, Jerry Dipoto selected Adams in the eighth round of the 2012 draft out of the University of South Florida. Adams was later traded to the Nationals for infielder Danny Espinosa in 2016.
Wells, 23, went 1-2 with a 7.91 ERA in five starts with High-A Modesto this season. Wells was acquired by Seattle along with left-handed pitchers Rob Rasmussen and Jake Brentz from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for right-handed pitcher Mark Lowe on July 31, 2015.

Carcinogenic material found in IAF F-16
Air force chief Shkedy grounds training flights on model following investigation into bad odors.

Israel Air Force Commander Maj.-Gen. Elazar Shkedy decided Friday to ground all F-16I training flights after carcinogenic material was found in the cockpit of one of the aircraft. Israel has contacted the manufacturer - Lockheed Martin - and tests were being done to determine the nature of the material and the risk involved. Shkedy made the decision to suspend training flights - the plane will continue to be used in necessary operations - after a number of pilots complained of a bad smell coming from the cockpit of one of the planes. The IDF Medical Branch conducted tests and discovered that the smell was caused by a type of formaldehyde known to be carcinogenic in high concentration. Although traces of the material were found in only one plane, Shkedy decided to stop training flights until the conclusion of the investigation. The F-16I - called Sufa (Storm) in Israel - is one of the most advanced and sophisticated combat fighter jets in the world alongside the F-15I. The plane was purchased by Israel in 2000 when former chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz was head of the IAF. In total, Israel purchased 102 planes from Lockheed Martin and is supposed to receive the last batch by the end of 2008.

Peeled Cucumbers & Vitamin K
Written by Traci Joy
Cucumbers are a cool, refreshing summer treat when sliced and put in salads, marinated in vinegar, or eaten raw. Low in calories and high in fiber and minerals, cucumbers are a safe addition to any diet. When it comes to vitamins, the most abundant one in cucumbers is vitamin K. Since vitamin K's primary role is to clot the blood, you should speak to your doctor before eating foods that contain vitamin K if you are on blood thinners.
Peeling your cucumber will reduce its vitamin K content and eliminate any pesticides that may be on the skin. The vitamin K in cucumber is found primarily near the peel, so peeling your cucumber significantly reduces the amount you will consume. For example, a one cup serving of cucumber with the peel contains 17 micrograms of vitamin K, while a one cup serving without the peel contains 8.6 micrograms, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database 123. The 17 micrograms is 11 percent of the recommended daily value, so eating a cup of sliced, peeled cucumbers on a salad or as a side dish significantly contributes to your daily intake. Vitamin K's primary role is in the proper clotting of blood, and without it, a simple cut may cause you to bleed to death. The National Institutes of Health reports that it also plays a role in maintaining bone health 23.
Peeled cucumbers also contain a fair amount of vitamin C, with a one cup serving containing 3.8 mg, which is 6 percent of the recommended daily intake. Vitamin C is not stored in the body, which means you need to replace your vitamin C levels daily to partake of its health benefits, which are many 23. Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen, which is the building material for healthy skin as well membranes that line your blood vessels and the inside of your body. As an antioxidant, vitamin C also protects the cells in your body from free radical damage, which can lead to chronic disease. The best known role of vitamin C may be its immune system support, which helps you fight colds and the flu.

Peeled cucumbers contain 85.7 IU of vitamin A in a one cup serving, which is 2 percent of the RDI. Vitamin A works with vitamin C as an antioxidant, and it also works to maintain eyesight and eye health. Other vegetables high in vitamin A are carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes and kale.

Other vegetables high in vitamin A are carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes and kale.
Peeled cucumbers also contain trace amounts of the B vitamins, with folate or B9 being the highest at approximately 16.7 micrograms in a one cup serving, or 4 percent of the RDI. Other B vitamins include B6, pantothenic acid, riboflavin and thiamin. The Harvard School of Public Health reports that folate and B6 play a role in protecting you from heart disease and some cancers. All B vitamins are necessary for the production of red blood cells and energy metabolism.

The Holt Lions Club in coordination with the Delhi Township Fire Department and the assistance of the Delhi Parks & Recreation Department have been doing a Halloween In The Park celebration in the Veterans Memorial Park the Sunday before Halloween since October, 2012. The school children of the Holt/Delhi Township area are invited to come join in celebrating the best of the Halloween Season. They are invited to come in costume and "Treat or Treat" at the booths that that set up in the park by area businesses, churches, governmental groups and services clubs. We started in 2012 with about 15-18 groups spread out around the park offering candy and treats for the kids. That first event we estimated about 300 kids with their parents, friends and lots of family attended. This last year there were about thirty booths a special "Selfie Station" and a count of over 800 children coming in the gate with parent, grandparent and family friend that couldn't be counted. The attendance has been great, the kids and families and all the vendors enjoyed themselves.
Halloween in the Park starts at 2:00 PM and ends at 4:00 PM, but the preparation for it starts months in advance every year.
We hope you enjoy some of the photos that were taken at the 2017 Halloween In The Park on October 30, 2017. We are already looking forward to October 28, 2018.
Enjoy some of the sight of our 2017 Halloween In The Park.
Halloween In The Park requires planning, organizing, recruiting and preparation by many different groups and businesses. The start of the event is months before the Sunday afternoon.
Here are some members of the Holt Lions Club working on the new Selfie Station put up this year. It was a very popular place to take pictures of the kids in costume with an appropriate background. It replaced the cardboard freezer box that was set up last year.
It's said that the early bird gets the worm, so to does the first family in line get the candy. Like many others this family was an hour early.
It's not just kids that dress up! Some of the best costumes are worn by slightly older "Kids"
At 2:00 PM the line started moving and the first booth on the ciruit was the Holt Lions Club then followed by qt least 28 other groups handing out candy and treats.
After 2:00 PM even with the line moving in front it kept getting longer and longer.
Here are more of the booths.
Now Kids getting Candy and showing off their Halloween costumes.
At the end of the trail, after the Selfie Station photo, the Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) served coffee, cider and donuts to everyone (free). They did a great job and fed a lot of hungary and thirsty people.
Still more kids in line, it was just 4:00 PM when the last family got in line at the start point.
The Holt Lions and the Delhi Township Fire Department wish to thanks all the sponsors, vendor and supported for making this another successful community event in Holt/Delhi Township.
All the hard work, time spent planning and preparing made it a great day. We envite you back again next year.
"Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!!!"
With a borrowed Dorthy from another booth we got the perfect picture for our theme.


Bhutan is a tiny country which is perched high in the eastern part of the mighty Himalayas. This petite country is the world's last remaining Buddhist Kingdom, where it Is landlocked between its neighbors India and China.
It is the world's only carbon negative country in the world, which is the only one of many reasons why it is called the last 'Shangri-La'.
Bhutan offers a never ending quantity of adventures in trekking in the Himalayas, where some of the best preserved temples and monasteries in the world show up, most of them which are constructed traditionally and completely without the use of any nails.
In fact, Bhutan has so much more to offer that people on visiting, can never get enough of Bhutan.
Here, we list out the top ten things to do in Bhutan, if you are lucky to visit this fantastic country. Though a lot of places in Bhutan haven't been touched by modern tourism, so there is a lot of scope for adventure.
The villages in Bhutan are still the same way as the good old times. They still practice age old customs and traditions and uphold these traditional values much more than the people in the urban towns.
These people in the countryside communities are incredibly kind and welcoming towards visitors.
Here you don't just the opportunity to interact with the locals, but you also get to indulge in their customs, food, games and farming activities.
And if you can even spare the time, you could even spend a few nights here and the villagers won't mind it much.
2. Dancing with the nomads.
Join nomads in the festival of the Royal Highland festival, which is a nomad festival that takes place at 3800 meters in Laya, the highest settlement in Bhutan. This festival aims to promote a sustainable livelihood of the Highlanders.
This festival brings together highlanders from different parts of Bhutan to exchange values, skills, knowledge and special practices related to mining and yak farming.
3. Getting to know the thirteen traditional Arts and Crafts of Bhutan.
And Art lovers, this is for you. If you are a lover of Art and craft, then the Institute of the traditional 13 arts and crafts in Timphu is where you should be. This if from where the young Bhutanese acquire the skills that decorate Bhutan's architecture, textiles, jewelry and everything else.
Since the 15th century, the art and craft you see here have been practiced since the 15th century and were categorized into the 13 traditional groups towards the end of the 17th Century.
Having been passed down from generation to generation, studying these arts and crafts today involves an intensive 4- 6 years of training at the Institute.
4. Witness an archery tournament.
Archery is much more than just a sport in Bhutan. It is an obsession. Men devote vast amounts of time, energy and money on the game.
The traditional of this game involves bamboo bows and arrows, as much as with the world's most expensive hunting archery equipment. The top archers here have earned a nationwide respect and adoration while key match winning exploits become the stuff of legends.
As an scheme to open up and improve tourism activities in Eastern Bhutan, the Royal Government of Bhutan has provided a Sustainable Development Fee of USD 65 paise per person per night to halt in various districts to the east of Bhutan.
So explorers, this is your chance to head out and explore the unexplored, as there is a culture waiting there to be known. This place offers the visitors the experience of a semi- nomadic lifestyle, culture and the vernacular in one of the most scenic pastrol vales in the protected area of the Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Tiger's nest is the most popular and most visited tourist travel destinations in Bhutan. The look of the monastery, holding on precariously to a Cliffside, is truly a sight to behold. After an hour and a half's worth of climbing you will not be disappointed.
It is said that the place is so enchanting, that many tourists have actually broken down to cry at such a pretty sight.
And there you have it, the top ten most unique things to do in Bhutan. It is truly a heavenly place to visit. If you do have the opportunity to tour india y bhutan to the roof of the world, you ought to make the best out of it. Beauty and culture couldn't come together in one picture and here you have it in Bhutan.


It was my privilege to be requested to photograph this year's graduating class at Alcanta International College, Guangzhou. These portraits, along with the college's Academic Directors and the Executive Director's images, were to appear within the Graduation Programme as well as on the students own 'banners'; which on Graduation Day, displayed their university places or choices as well as their personal messages to their family friends and teachers.
One of the challenges of this kind of job is consistency with lighting (especially if not all the subjects are there on the same day of shooting). Then again keeping that consistency is also important during post production.Another challenge was putting these nervous young people at ease and to try and catch a glimpse of their natural personalities during the last week of their exams (which was when the shooting took place), .
The lighting set up was simple - using only one off camera flash with an umbrella and a reflector as a fill. I wanted to create the atmosphere of a Dutch painting - a kind of warm intimacy, yet professional and dignified at the same time. I found this "guide to lighting the face" useful when preparing for this job.
I think the students liked their portraits and their Graduation ceremony and celebration was a big success as well as a very pleasant evening. I wish them all the very best as they progress onto their next adventures at university.

Wilmont Haacke (* 4. März 1911 in Monschau, Eifel; † 23. Juli 2008 in Göttingen) war ein deutscher Publizistikwissenschaftler.

Leben
Der Sohn eines Studienrates absolvierte das Realgymnasium der Staatlichen Bildungsanstalt in Naumburg an der Saale und war ab 1931 publizistisch tätig, vor allem nach 1937 beim Berliner Tageblatt. Daneben studierte er Zeitungswissenschaft in Göttingen, Wien und Berlin. Haacke begann bereits während seiner Arbeit beim mehrsprachigen Londoner Wochenblatt European Herald, sich mit der kleinen Form des Feuilletons auseinanderzusetzen und sie selbst zu pflegen. Seine Dissertation über den jüdischen Journalisten und Herausgeber Julius Rodenberg durfte nicht im Druck erscheinen, dennoch gelang es Haacke letztlich, sich im Dritten Reich als Forscher im Fach Zeitungswissenschaften zu etablieren.

Von 1939 bis 1942 war Haacke Assistent am Institut für Zeitungswissenschaft der Universität Wien. 1942 habilitierte er sich an der Universität in Prag bei Erich Trunz und Josef März und erhielt 1942 die Venia legendi für Zeitungswissenschaft. 1943 übernahm er die Leitung des Instituts für Zeitungswissenschaft an der Universität Freiburg.

Daneben war er selbst schriftstellerisch tätig. Er gab Feuilletonsammlungen wie Die Luftschaukel (1939) und Das Ringelspiel (Wiener Feuilletons, 1941) heraus, edierte 1940 entsprechende Arbeiten von Victor Auburtin (Einer bläst die Hirtenflöte). Allerdings passte sich Haacke mit Das heldische Jahr, einer Sammlung von Kriegsfeuilletons, nun auch deutlich dem Zeitgeist an (1941). Ein Band mit eigenen Feuilletons hieß Notizbuch des Herzens, eine 1943 publizierte Novelle Die Jugendliebe.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg (1946/47) war Haacke zunächst Leiter der Pressestelle und der Studienberatung an der Universität in Mainz. An der Hochschule für Sozialwissenschaften in Wilhelmshaven wurde Haacke 1955 zum außerplanmäßigen Professor ernannt. Nach Vereinigung dieser Hochschule mit der Universität Göttingen wurde Haacke Ordinarius in Göttingen, emeritierte jedoch schon 1973 mit 62 Jahren. Seineb Lehrstuhl übernahm Jörg Aufermann.
Bis 1993 blieb Haacke Mitherausgeber der Fachzeitschrift Publizistik, die er 1956 mit Emil Dovifat und Walter Hagemann gegründet hatte.

Haacke wurden in fortgeschrittenen Jahren vielfache Ehrungen zuteil, anlässlich seines Todes wurde er als "Nestor der Publizistik-Wissenschaft", international angesehener Publizist und Zeitschriftenforscher und letzter Vertreter der geisteswissenschaftlichen Richtung seines Fachgebietes gewürdigt. Sein 1951–53 herausgegebenes dreibändiges Handbuch des Feuilletons gälte bis heute als Standardwerk. In Haackes späten Jahren wurde allerdings seine Rolle in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus problematisiert.

Vorwürfe gegen Haacke
Bereits 1970 protestierte der Historiker Prof. Dr. Helmut Hirsch gegen die Ehrung Wilmont Haackes mit einer Festschrift (an der er mitarbeiten sollte), wobei Hirsch auf das antisemitische, von NS-Ideologie getränkte Buch "Das heldische Jahr" Haackes verwies.

Vor allem in dem 2004 von den Kommunikationsforschern Wolfgang Duchkowitsch, Fritz Hausjell und Bernd Semrad herausgegebenen Band: Die Spirale des Schweigens. Zum Umgang mit der nationalsozialistischen Zeitungswissenschaft (Wien 2004) wurden von Verena Blaum aufgrund von Textvergleichen Vorwürfe wegen massiv antisemitischer Passagen in Haackes Habilitationsschrift, der 1942/44 erschienenen zweibändigen Feuilletonkunde (Vorläufer der Neuausgabe 1951–53), laut. In diesem Werk äußerte sich Haacke unter anderem abwertend über die "Verjudung des Feuilletons" und die "kaum mehr überbietbaren Frechheiten der sich prononciert jüdisch gebenden und von 1918 bis 1933 verheerend einflussreichen jüdischen Feuilletonisten" (Band 1, S. 4).

Daran schloss Blaum die Kritik an Haacke und seinen Fachkollegen an, die Auseinandersetzung mit diesen Schriften und deren wissenschaftlichem Umfeld über Jahrzehnte gemieden zu haben. Dagegen wurde eingewandt, die Vorgänge um Haackes Promotion (1936/37), als der aktenkundige Vorwurf fehlender Einsicht in die nationalsozialistische Judenpolitik Haackes Hoffnungen auf eine wissenschaftliche Laufbahn beendet zu haben schien, werde von Kritikern wie Blaum nicht entsprechend gewürdigt. Ein Haacke nahestehender Forscher wie Walter Hagemann hatte übrigens schon 1950 im Vorwort der verspäteten Publikation von Haackes Dissertation vermerkt, die Feuilletonkunde sei "durch Sprachregelung und Präventivzensur des Propagandaministeriums entstellt worden". Hagemann hatte damit also eine eher opportunistische als ideologisch überzeugte Haltung Haackes unterstellt, wie nach ihm auch Heidrun Ehrke-Rotermund anhand des überlieferten Briefwechsels von Haacke nachzuweisen versuchte.

The work of the Silab advanced research department and the research team of Dr. Florence Ruggiero on dermal segmentation and its matrisome has been recognized by the scientific community with the publication of a letter to the editor in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology (JID).
According to the company, the uppermost layer of the dermis, called the papillary dermis, and the lower layer, called the reticular dermis, are structurally and functionally different. The fibroblasts, which are the cells that synthesize the extracellular matrix, are supposed to be responsible for this segmentation.
"Dermal segmentation is a valuable biological research signature for Silab," said Brigitte Closs, deputy managing director for Research and Development, Silab. "When we started working on this topic in 2007, we naturally contacted Dr. Florence Ruggiero, CNRS Research Director, and her team members, who are internationally renowned for their expert knowledge of the biology of the extracellular matrix."
For the first time, Dr. Florence Ruggiero's research team and the Silab advanced research department highlighted a marker of gene expression specific to the papillary and reticular fibroblasts related to the matrisome, defined as all of the genes encoding the proteins of the extracellular matrix and its related proteins.
"This letter to the editor in one of the most prestigious scientific journals of dermatology provides undeniable recognition of the quality of the research work undertaken by the two teams. It will strengthen our expertise in this area and offer new prospects for the development of tailored, innovative and effective natural cosmetic solutions in particular to combat cutaneous aging. It could also have consequences for the bio-engineering of skin substitutes
to make them even closer to the physiological reality of the skin," said Closs.
