UK Researchers to Study Nutrition in Appalachia
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 13, 2012) − Mark Swanson, associate professor in the Department of Health Behavior, University of Kentucky College of Public Health, and Nancy Schoenberg, the Marion Pearsall Professor in the Department of Behavioral Science, UK College of Medicine, have been awarded a three year R24 grant from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) to explore ways to reduce and eliminate health disparities.
The project will address one of the nation's leading public health challenges – lack of access to healthy foods, leading to suboptimal diet, overweight/obesity and consequent health impacts – in Kentucky's Appalachian counties, a region suffering extreme disparities in diet and diet-related disease.
The grant is in response to an NIH call for proposals using community-based participatory research (CBPR), in which academic researchers partner with community members in the development, implementation, and analysis of a research project. Swanson and Schoenberg, who met and married while obtaining their doctoral degrees in anthropology at the University of Florida, both have a long commitment to community-based work.
"One of the most important lessons of anthropology is that community members have critical expertise about their communities, the problems they face, and the kinds of solutions that have a chance of working," said Swanson. "CBPR offers the opportunity to bring academic expertise in research design, methods, and analysis together with community expertise in local realities, challenges, and opportunities to craft effective solutions to community-defined problems."
In this project, Swanson and Schoenberg are partnering with the Community Farm Alliance, a grassroots organization that has been working on agricultural and rural issues in Kentucky for more than 25 years, as well as other grassroots organizations and individuals in Eastern Kentucky. The project will receive research support from Schoenberg's community partners at Faith Moves Mountains headquartered in Letcher County.
Additional academic expertise is drawn from multiple colleges and departments across the UK campus, including Dave Fardo, biostatistics, College of Public Health; Alison Davis, agricultural economics, College of Agriculture; Alison Gustafson, dietetics and human nutrition, School of Human Environmental Sciences; and Janet Mullins, dietetics and human nutrition, School of Human Environmental Sciences.
This three-year project will begin in May 2013 and take place in Appalachian areas of Kentucky, a region suffering from some of the nation's highest rates of obesity, lowest rates of produce consumption, and high rates of premature mortality and diet-based diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and various cancers.
According to Swanson, "Our previous research projects in the region have repeatedly documented the relative scarcity of healthy, affordable, and readily accessible food. It is simply unrealistic to expect changes in the health profiles of Eastern Kentucky without addressing food access challenges."
The UK research team, in conjunction with interested residents, will identify key challenges and opportunities in the region, develop an intervention to address the problem of healthy food access, and implement and evaluate that intervention.
"We feel that innovation and improvement in health works best when you bring interested, talented, and diverse experts to the table. No one field or group of people has all of the answers to such a challenging question like improving access to healthy food and dietary intake," Schoenberg said. "By working side by side with our community and research partners, we hope that we will learn about and pilot test the most appropriate, sustainable, and innovative ideas to improve food intake and, ultimately, health."

Harvard had two representatives on the Academic All-District
First Team (Harvard Athletic Communications).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior co-captain Ellen Macadam and junior Rachel Brown of the Harvard softball team have been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Softball Team, the organization announced Friday. It marks the first time Harvard has had two representatives on the first team since the 2007 season.
Macadam, a psychology concentrator, earned first-team recognition with a 3.44 GPA. The Atlanta, Ga., native has been a catalyst for the Crimson this season, leading the team to its fifth Ivy League Championship and setting school records in career runs scored (139) and hits (222). Macadam was also named Ivy League Player of the Week twice this season.
Brown, also a psychology concentrator, joined Macadam on the first-team with a 3.53 GPA. The junior had arguably her best season in 2011, becoming the first Harvard pitcher to amass more than 20 wins in a season (21) and breaking the league single-season strikeout record with 291 on the year. Brown has pitched seven shutouts this season, is ranked fourth in the nation in strikeouts per game (11.4) and has been named Ivy League Pitcher of the Week three times in 2011.
Both Macadam and Brown now advance onto the national ballot when they have the chance to receive Academic All-America honors. Voting on the national ballot begins May 10. For more information about the CoSIDA Academic All-America program, click here.

The 2009 Directors' Compensation and Board Practices Report
- Authors:
Publication Date:
March 2010
In the last decade, boards of directors of U.S. public corporations have responded to new regulatory requirements and market pressures by strengthening their independence and expanding the scope of their fiduciary duties to oversee management. The analysis of director compensation and board structures in U.S.-based public companies in The 2009 Directors' Compensation and Board Practices Report is based on proxy data through May 2009 from 2,436 companies and the results of a 2009 survey of corporate secretaries by The Conference Board. This annual report is a complement to the annual Top Executive Compensation Report, which is also produced by The Conference Board.

The heartbreaking story of the Rutgers University student who killed himself after a roommate allegedly videotaped his tryst with another man has left gay talk show host Ellen DeGeneres "devastated."
"I am devastated over the death of 18-year-old Tyler Clementi," DeGeneres said. "He was outed as being gay on the Internet and he killed himself. ... One life lost in this senseless way is tragic.
"This needs to be a wake up call to everyone that teenage bullying and teasing is an epidemic in this country, and the death rate is climbing," she adds. "We have an obligation to change this."
Prosecutors are considering treating the case against the roommate, Dharun Ravi, and his pal, Molly Wei, from whose dorm room he allegedly livestreamed the video. For now, the pair have been charged with invasion of privacy.
"The on-going investigation is considering the motives leading to the illegal Internet transmission of a personal encounter involving the victim," the Middlesex County, N.J., Prosecutor's Office says in a statement. "We will be making every effort to assess whether bias played a role in the incident, and, if so, we will bring appropriate charges."
Clementi's body was pulled from the Hudson River earlier this week and identified Thursday. Authorities say he jumped from the George Washington Bridge. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Thursday that he doesn't know how the pair can sleep at night, and expressed his condolences to Clementi's family.
"As the father of a 17-year-old…I can't imagine what those parents are feeling today, I can't," Christie said. "You send your son to school to get an education with great hopes and aspirations, and I can't imagine what those parents are feeling today."

Trim Your Pages
Create unique looks on your scrapbook layouts using decorative trims and fancy trinkets.
It's a bit magical--the holiday season. What is it that makes it so charming and delightful? When we gaze at decked halls and trees adorned with fancy ribbons, bows, and sparkly ornaments, we become childlike, our eyes filled with wonder and amazement. Why not bring this same feel to your scrapbooks? You can use gorgeous trims and trinkets to deck your pages, not just during the holidays, but all year long.
Create a Sophisticated Feel to Your Pages
Achieve a sophisticated look by clustering fancy charms, decorative buttons, ribbons, trims, stamped images, and stickers on your layout, like Maggie Holmes did. Clustering your accents alters the embellishments slightly, adding an intricate and pleasing style to your pages that is uniquely yours. No matter the theme, this design pattern offers a fun and creative solution to personalizing your layout.
Try this on pages about
* an adult's birthday,
* a wedding,
* a girls' night out, or
* an anniversary.
Dress up or add dimension to a simple embellishment by layering charms or jewels over stamped images or stickers.
As seen in the November-December 2010 issue of Creating Keepsakes.
Create and Decorate One-of-a-Kind Page Accents Using trims
Using decorative trims, small trinkets, and fabric buttons, you can make handmade accents that can be used on any layout. Mou Saha created this beautiful tree for her layout, adding a unique look to showcase her memories.
Try creating
* a party hat for a birthday page,
* a fancy wedding cake for a wedding album, or
* a cute animal accent for a baby page.
As seen in the November-December 2010 issue of Creating Keepsakes.
Create Festive Banners
Tinsel and shiny trims add class to your layouts and complement photos highlighting lighted decorations. Combine the two to create a handmade banner that gives the illusion of sparking lights, just as Lucy Edson did here. Simply twist the tinsel and trim together and drape it over part of your layout to convey the feel of the season. Attach your trim and tinsel to the back of your layout using adhesive or staples. Try combining lace and velvet or polka dots and pearls for a more feminine page.
Create these fun banners using trim:
* "Congratulations" on a graduation layout,
* "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Thanksgiving" on holiday pages,
* "Just Married" on a wedding layout, or
* "It's a Boy," or "It's a Girl" on a baby page.
Dress Up a Title with Decorative Trims and Trinkets
Use several strips of decorative trim to back a title on your layout, just as Lucy has done on her page. Simply adhere the ribbons to your page and top with letter stickers. Or use charms or other found trinkets in place of some of your title letters to add a whimsical feel to your layout.
* a sun charm in place of an "o" on a beach layout,
* a flower trinket in place of a dot for an "i" on pages about spring, or
* a birthday hat charm in place of the "a" on a birthday layout.
As seen in the November-December 2010 issue of Creating Keepsakes.

Brief Synopsis
A public relations man must cope with revelations about a wartime romance.
Finding it difficult to support his family on his $7,000 yearly salary, Tom Rath hopes that his late grandmother's estate will yield a financial bonanza. When Tom learns that his grandmother's funds have been depleted and consequently, his entire inheritance consists only of her white-elephant house, Tom's ambitious wife Betsy presses him to seek a higher paying job. Betsy accuses her husband of "losing his guts" since his return ten years earlier from military service during World War II. On the commuter train to work the next morning, Tom questions his friend, Bill Hawthorne, about a public relations job at the UBC television network. A man wearing a plush overcoat then triggers Tom's war memories: Tom, a captain in the U.S. Army assigned to Italy, is driven by the brutal cold of winter to murder a young German soldier for his overcoat. Upon completing his duty in Rome, Tom learns that his company is being sent to the Pacific. Filled with forebodings of death, Tom slips into a deep depression. Hoping to relieve Tom's apprehensions, Caesar Gardella, a fellow soldier, introduces him to Maria, a self-effacing young Italian girl. One night with Maria stretches into six weeks, and on the day before Tom is to leave for battle, he promises Maria that he will never forget her, even though he is married. Maria replies that she is pregnant with his baby, a child she has prayed for. Tom's thoughts return to the present, and soon after, he is summoned to a job interview at UBC. There, Tom is sequestered in a room and given one hour to write his autobiography, which must conclude with the sentence "the most significant thing about me." As Tom ruminates about his final sentence, his thoughts return to the war: While leading his troops into battle, Tom watches in horror as a grenade he lobbed blows up his best friend Hank. Tom's remembrance renders his essay trivial, and he refuses to divulge any information about himself. Upon returning home that night, Tom tells Betsy about his job interview, and she begins to dream about a new home and extended vacation. Soon after, Tom is offered a job at UBC, helping to launch a mental health campaign, the current obsession of network president Ralph Hopkins. After meeting with Tom, Hopkins proceeds to his estranged wife's home to discuss their wayward eighteen-year-old daughter Susan, who has been frequenting nightclubs with an elderly fortune hunter and a married writer. Confronting her husband, who has been an absent father, Helen begs him to intervene in their daughter's life. At the network, Tom is assigned to work under Bill Ogden, a ruthless office politician. When Tom returns from work that evening, Betsy announces that she has sold their modest home, thus forcing them to move to Tom's grandmother's stately mansion. As they prepare to move, Tom is informed by Edward Schultz, his grandmother's curmudgeonly servant, that the old woman had promised him the house. After threatening a lawsuit, Edward storms out, and Tom phones Judge Bernstein, the executor of his grandmother's estate, about mediating the situation. Later, Susan, summoned by her father, visits Hopkins at his apartment and accuses him of letting money ruin their lives. When Hopkins solicitously asks Susan to move in with him and offers to arrange a job for her, she angrily lashes out that he is incapable of loving anyone. The next day at the office, Ogden derides Tom's efforts and dismisses him from the campaign. When Tom shows Betsy Ogden's version of the speech, Betsy deems it silly and boring and dares her husband to stand by his convictions, but Tom responds that office politics necessitate telling your superiors what they want to hear. The next day, Tom and Edward meet at Bernstein's office, where the judge scrutinizes a letter purportedly written by Tom's grandmother, bequeathing Edward her house. When the judge questions Edward's integrity and accuses him of padding household bills and possibly forging the letter, Edward indignantly stalks out. Later, Tom meets Hopkins at his apartment to discuss his speech. At first Tom spinelessly agrees with his employer's opinions, but after Hopkins is called away by a phone call notifying him of Susan's elopement, Tom works up the courage to critique the speech as phony. Hopkins, shaken by the news of his daughter's rebellious marriage, confides to Tom that he reminds him of his beloved son Bobby, who died as a private in the war after refusing an officer's commission. Now regretting that he devoted his life, body and soul, to business, Hopkins urges Tom not to let anything keep him from his family. In the office elevator the next morning, Tom is approached by Caesar, now an elevator operator, to meet him after work. Over drinks, Caesar tells Tom that he is married to Maria's cousin and that Maria and her son are in desperate need of money. Taken aback, Tom's first impulse is to conceal the boy's existence from Betsy. At home that night, after telling Betsy that he criticized Ogden's speech, Tom reveals that he has an illegitimate son in Rome. Although Tom speaks about the atrocities and hopelessness of war that drove him into Maria's arms, Betsy only feels the pain of his betrayal and angrily speeds away in the family's car. The next morning, the police notify Tom that they found Betsy parked along a roadside, where her car ran out of gas. As Tom prepares to pick up Betsy, Hopkins phones to ask him to accompany him to California in Ogden's stead. When Tom declines the offer, stating that he is just a "9 to 5" fellow who prefers to stay with his family, Hopkins understands and asks to see Tom's version of the speech. After hanging up the phone, Hopkins stares out into space, totally alone. Afterward, Tom and Betsy visit the judge, and Tom explains that he wants to send his illegitimate son in Italy $100 a month. When Betsy adds that they eventually intend to establish a trust fund for the boy, Bernstein, moved, offers his services gratis. Tom and Betsy then share a loving embrace.

IF YOU HAVEN'T JOINED THIS FORUM YET, Register FREE on the top right of this page.
I still think the best way for most people online to start making money is by getting referrals. Most people I communicate with say they can't do it. They have tried everything and nothing works.
The truth is, there is only one thing that works consistently and most people never try it. That is to share "Been There, Done That" stories.
Most people only try posting links and free advertising (which almost never work), then they give up.
When anyone can identify with the actual path you followed and can see the possibility of repeating what you did to get there, the odds of them trying it themselves go up exponentially.
So instead of painting a glorious image of driving a new Bugatti up to a mansion with a yacht parked along side, if you can show someone how they could increase their monthly income by $100 with easy tasks, you stand a much better chance of success.
It really is that simple.
P.S. The trick is to do it yourself first, then share YOUR experience. They don't want to hear about what someone else did.

The Moolah Temple has been transformed into a vital and thriving center. It was built in 1912 and dedicated in 1914 as the home of the St. Louis Chapter of the Shriners. It was closed in 1988 when the Shriners moved to their new home in the suburbs on Fee Fee Road.
The Moolah Temple was completely renovated to become part of the Historic Midtown District, a popular arts, entertainment and educational district. It is across from the St. Louis University Campus and just blocks from the Fox Theatre and other venues along Grand Avenue.
The theatre section of the Moolah Temple opened on December 22, 2004 as a premiere theatre in St. Louis, a single screen theatre boasting the areas largest screen. Seating is on two floors with a balcony, with a total of 500. The theatre is operated by St. Louis Cinemas who also operate the Chase Park Plaza Cinemas located a short distance west of the new Moolah Temple theatre and they also operate the Galleria Six located in the Galleria Mall.
The exterior of the building has been restored to its original Romanesque, Arabic finish. The windows have been restored also with an eye for historic detail. The architectural firm Trivers Associates were responsible for the restorations.
Later there is a proposed bowling alley and offices in the building along with office space. A new garage has been built directly behind the Temple.

Clintons' 10.2 Million Scandals
The Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, also writes that Hillary Clinton is "the most divisive figure in the country� and adds that people "have reason to view her as dark, dissembling, thuggish.� She also wonders: "Why aren't we talking about impeachment, Whitewater and Osama?�
[Elections 2008 Commentary]
Lesson one: A thief must never call the police to investigate anything.
Hillary Clinton's campaign suggests that Senator Barack Obama is somehow corrupt because one of his former political donors, Chicago realtor, Tony Rezko is on trial for corruption.
To begin with, one of Senator Hillary Clinton's past donors Norman Hsu, who gave her $850,000 was a corrupt embezzler who tried to flee and even attempted suicide in the midst of his own corruption trial last year.
Desperate, after Senator Obama had won 11 states in a row and built his insurmountable delegates count which now stands at 150, Senator Clinton decided to focus on sliming Obama. Now nothing is out of bounds.
Many people believe the name "Clinton" is synonymous with "Corruption." A google search of "Clintons" and "scandal" yields 10,200,000 hits. A search of "Obamas" and "scandal" yields 1,570,000 hits.
The Clinton's should be the last people to talk about corruption, scandals, and integrity. They are one of the most immoral, amoral, and perhaps corrupt political couples in history. While Senator Obama won't bring up the issue, even after the Clintons continue "throwing the kitchen sink" at him, some politicians and major newspaper columnists are now beginning to raise questions.
This is what respected Obama supporter and former New Jersey senator Bill Bradley told PBS's "Newshour," this past Wednesday: "I think Barack Obama has a much stronger chance of beating John McCain in the general election. I think Hillary is flawed in many ways, and particularly if you look at her husband's unwillingness to release the names of the people who contributed to his presidential library. And the reason that is important -- you know, are there favors attached to $500,000 or $1 million contributions? And what do I mean by favors? I mean, pardons that are granted; investigations that are squelched; contracts that are awarded; regulations that are delayed. These are important questions. The people deserve to know. And we deserve, as Democrats, to know before a nominee is selected, because we don't want things to explode in a general election against John McCain."
The Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, also writes that Hillary Clinton is "the most divisive figure in the country" and adds that people "have reason to view her as dark, dissembling, thuggish." She also wonders: "Why aren't we talking about impeachment, Whitewater and Osama?"
Noonan is obviously referring to the impeachment of Hillary Clinton's husband, Bill Clinton, who was too busy molesting the intern Monica Lewinsky with a cigar when the red phone was ringing; and she is asking about the Whitewater land deal scandal that also involved the Clintons; and, finally she refers to the fact that commander in chief Bill Clinton waffled when he was provided intelligence of Osama bin Laden's whereabouts, allowing him to escape.
Senator Clinton says she's experienced having learned from her husband's administration. That should be an excellent reason why she shouldn't pick up the red phone at 3 AM.
What does all this have to do with the current presidential campaign? That's the question senator Clinton should have done before she launched the "kitchen sink" attacks rather than sticking with the campaign issues.
Lesson two: If you have dirty underwear never call for underwear inspections.

God, please save me from the need to win
I'm as much of a competitor as anyone I know. I love to play the game and win if at all possible, but I don't always come out the victor. There are times when I play against someone that is simply more intelligent than I am or happens to get the better hand or draw. That's what makes playing games, cards, contests, or quizzes so much fun for most people. If one is going to win every time, then really what's the use of playing?
Scrabble has been my game of choice for many years. My sister-in-law, Teresa Fowler Stancil, who lives in Georgia, and I have been known to have marathon games that last for weeks and weeks. We have now admittedly come into the age of computers and have discovered several games of Scrabble designed for the Internet. I can make my move, send it to her, she makes her move, and sends her word back to me.
In December, I bought myself an iPad, simply because I had been told that game playing was taken to a new level with that particular device. I confess — I love it! While playing Scrabble on my iPad the other day, I was rather amazed to see two different players living in different states and, as far as I know, not even knowing the other person come up with two of the same very odd, words in one game. I wondered if either player would know what either of the words meant if they were called on to use it in a sentence. Before we could use a word in school, and I know I'm dating myself here, we had to be able to pronounce the word clearly, spell it from memory and use it correctly in a sentence. But, hey, I guess times are a'changing, huh?
One of the words I had never even heard of, and I've made my living with words for many years. Now, the general rule is that the only acceptable resource available during the game is the dictionary suggested by the manufacturer, and that is only opened if there is an orderly challenge to the spelling of the word. You can win 50 extra points if you challenge and the word proves incorrect. But someone wrote and told me that there is an application for the Droid, iPhone, and iPad (and perhaps other devices) that gives you difficult and high point scoring words to use in playing the word games. If you are stumped, you simply go to the screen, and yes, you guessed it, there's an app for that. Apparently both of the very odd words were found on the list of cheater aids.
Why would anyone want to play a game and then resort to cheating is beyond me. My mother had another of those old sayings that came to mind. I posted my thoughts and sure enough, two people that I play with immediately hit replied. One said, "Well, I know every word I've used and I don't cheat." Another sheepishly wrote a second note to ask if there was an app that revealed who uses the apps to find words. "Not to my knowledge," I wrote back. I've never ever seen the app that gives you the words.
Mother always said that when you throw a rock into a pack of angry dogs, the one that is hit would yelp the loudest. Could that be what was happening to my game-playing pals? This incident opened up a well of conversation for several days among my friends. Was it wrong or right to use helps in playing Internet games? The general opinion was that both parties must know and if they agree, then it would be acceptable.
It seems to me that the entire idea of winning at any cost is woven tightly into the fabric of our beings in this day and age from games to sports to professions. Everybody loves a winner. "Winning isn't everything. It is the only thing," seems to resonate with some folks.
The real need to win, I believe, is rooted in anxiety and fear, fear of failure, fear of looking bad to others, and the fear of perhaps being scorned by another person, or somehow, being thought less of, even though the game is rather insignificant.
I read with interest that Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of modern karate in Japan, was strongly opposed to competition. Funakoshi's techniques were based on "bunkai" or self-defense applications, and he would not let his students participate in tournaments for the sake of winning a trophy. Many others disagree with his thinking, but it was interesting to note. The story is told of a competitor that was unbeatable on the tournament circuit. He won a number of grand championship titles, but one day it happened. He lost. He never competed again.
I love to win, but I really don't mind losing to a person who plays by the same rules as I am using. Teresa and I are about as evenly matched as any two folks can be, and we've never had a question or an argument about a game. She wins some. I win some, but we do it from memory and from our own respective banks of knowledge. Oh, and she comes up with some fancy words from all of her years of medical transcription knowledge, and I don't often challenge the mega-point ones she puts on the board. I've been proved wrong too often, and I hate losing those 50-point challenges.
One dear lady wrote and said, "Oh, it's just a game. Why worry about it?" And then she added, "I'd hate for my intelligence to be judged by my Scrabble playing." I thought about that for a while, and though I did not comment, I don't mind at all for my intelligence to be judged by my many years of Scrabble playing. That's as good a practical indicator as any I know — if we play on the same board with the same rules.

*1/2 (out of four)
President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Bill Murray) drives his fifth cousin Daisy (Laura Linney) to an isolated field. He puts her hand on his thigh and unfastens his pants. You know where this is going.
Daisy must be awfully good with her hands because the painfully dry "Hyde Park on Hudson" neglects to depict the bond that apparently led to a long, secret relationship between these two. First-time feature writer Richard Nelson's script deserves about 50 tickets from the voiceover police; throughout the film, Daisy interjects with commentary like "How I longed for him," frequently speaking about events and feelings she was not around to witness. (Much like Macy Gray's character in "The Paperboy.") Daisy's limited involvement means she comes off more like a lovelorn presidential groupie than a relevant part of a historic American's life.
Likewise, "Hyde Park on Hudson," named for the New York estate where FDR hosted the King (Samuel West) and Queen (Olivia Colman) of England in 1939, could be called, "Franklin and Bertie's BFF Weekend." It was the first time British royalty had visited America, but director Roger Michell ("Notting Hill") depicts none of FDR's cabinet's objections to the visit. The leaders engage in an amusing chat, relating to each other and the importance of not seeing themselves the way they fear others see their respective limitations (polio and a stutter). Yet even though England needs military support from the U.S., the impact-less storytelling of "Hyde Park" drips with inconsequentiality.
The performances are all good enough, but none of the relationships, particularly between FDR and Daisy, develop in ways that provide the cast any complex material to play. Was FDR really ignoring the nation's woes while he hung at the house? How did Eleanor, regardless of her sexuality, feel about her husband's apparent womanizing? Why even run the risk of making people say, "Colin Firth was so much better in 'The King's Speech'"?
"Hyde Park" touches on the value of laughing at one's self, but viewers who don't fall asleep are likely to laugh at a shallow film that includes narration about the summer breeze and a debate about whether or not the moon is full. Riveting, right?

Elephants have long had a reputation for good memories. Now, according to a new study from Emory University and Think Elephants International, the giant animals are also pretty good when it comes to empathy.
The researchers observed 26 elephants held in an elephant camp in northern Thailand for over a year. They didn't go out of their way to stress out the elephants but rather waited for something stressful to naturally occur (a surprising sound, for example) and then observed what happened next.
In short, the elephants were more likely to commiserate during stressful times than during the study's control periods.
Researchers found that elephants are able to sense when other elephants are stressed and will often comfort them with physical contact or a vocal response. The physical contact sometimes involves a "trunk touch," which puts the creature in a vulnerable position.
Lead researcher Joshua Plotnik of Emory University told Discovery News that the physical gestures "may be sending a signal of 'I'm here to help you, not hurt you.'"
As for the vocal calls, Plotnik told Discovery, "I've never heard that vocalization when elephants are alone." He continued, "It may be a signal like, 'Shshhh, it's OK,' the sort of sounds a human adult might make to reassure a baby."
Signs of a distressed elephant include outstretched ears or an erect tail, according to Weather.com. Plotnik told the website that primates don't have a monopoly on smarts.
"Animals like elephants, dolphins and corvids [ravens and related bird species] are also important study subjects for understanding how complex cognition evolves," he said.
Co-author Frans de Waal was quoted as saying, "With their strong social bonds, it's not surprising that elephants show concern for others. This study demonstrates that elephants get distressed when they see others in distress, reaching out to calm them down, not unlike the way chimpanzees or humans embrace someone who is upset."

Vs. Cancer Foundation
The SMSU baseball program, along with the Vs. Cancer Foundation, has joined forces to help the fight against cancer. The Mustangs have set a goal to raise $5,000 by April 19 to help cure childhood cancer. SMSU?players will be shaving their heads after their game against Augustana on April 19 at Alumni Field in support of the cause.
The Mustangs are looking for donations and/or support on or before April 19 to help raise awareness to childhood cancer.
Childhood cancer is becoming a bigger threat every year. Each year in the United States, approximately 13,500 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer. It's more than a classroom of kids a day. Many SMSU players and members of the Mustang coaching staff have been or know of someone that has been affected by this terrible disease.
Once individuals visit the SMSU Vs. Cancer team page online, they'll be able to choose an amount to donate to this cause. Any amount, small or large, will help. Individuals can either choose to make a one-time donation or set up a monthly donation to the fund-raiser. Either way you choose, a donation helps a great cause!
After entering an amount, individuals will be taken to a page that will ask you to enter payment information. At this point you will be able to write a message and tell us why you are donating to this fund. You can also opt to make an anonymous payment. Once you have filled out everything, you click "Send Gift."
Individual gifts will be split two ways. One-half of the donations collected will go the Mayo Clinic in Rochester which will aid in funding new research for childhood cancer. The other half will go to the Vs. Cancer Foundation.
SMSU is one of numerous teams from across the country participating in the fundraiser for childhood cancer research.

Thanks for using this forum......
The symptoms you describe seem to be due to either gastric ulcers or maybe gall bladder issues..you can get a n ultrasonography to diagnose and i am sure the problem will resolve soon....

Have you ever wondered if employers are really hiring during the holidays or summer months? You apply to job postings but aren't getting many responses. No one is really hiring, are they? I have worked with many job seekers that feel this way. The truth is that employers are hiring during these times and it is critical to stay active. Also, because many job seekers stop searching during the summer and holiday season, you have less competition. Here are some great tips on how to stay active as well as reasons why employers hire during the holidays and summer months.
Employers are hiring during the summer and holiday season for the same reasons they hire throughout the year: positions become vacant, companies undergo organizational restructuring, and/or business grows and more employees are needed. Current employees often take substantial time off during these months as well, so employers want to be sure they are fully staffed at all times and have qualified resumes on hand for any unexpected hiring needs. According to executive recruiters, 69% of employers post the same amount if not more jobs during November and December compared to the rest of the year. Furthermore, 53% of employers are actively interviewing candidates during the last 2 months of the year.
Here are a few tips on how to stay active and make connections during your search:
Don't fall into the mindset that you have to put your job search on hold because of the season. Instead, maintain a proactive search during the holidays and summer months. You will benefit from less competition and more networking opportunities and be successful in your job search.

Manti Te'o perpetrator may go public, uncle says
Manti Te'o will do an on-camera interview with Katie Couric this week, and his alleged perpetrator may also go public.
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo has been identified by the Notre Dame linebacker as the person who masterminded a prank in which he created a girlfriend with whom Te'o had an online relationship before her death in the fall.
TE'O INTERVIEW:Why he's talking to Couric
TE'O COVERAGE:Inside the hoax
Peter Navy Tuiasosopo, the uncle of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, told the Associated Press Sunday that the family plans to meet this week to discuss how his nephew might talk about the hoax.
"We want to do it right," Tuiasosopo said, never directly mentioning the incident or his nephew's involvement.
Peter Navy Tuiasosopo also said the family has hired an attorney
Te'o told ESPN Friday in an off-camera interview that he had received an apology from Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, a 22-year-old who lives in California, via direct message on Twitter.
"We're just a family of faith. The family is holding up well," Peter Navy Tuiasosopo said. "They're holding up the way I would expect a family to. This is a storm."
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo's father, a pastor at the Oasis Christian Church, gave a two-hour service on Sunday and thanked people for their prayers.
"I've been practicing how to say 'no comment' in 20 languages," the pastor told his congregation according to the AP.

I have a lot of time for Fyrinnae, even though they take a while to get orders out and I recently made a small haul which included two Lip Lustres.
Fyrinnae are clear that these are:
– Not Lip Glosses
These are non sticky lip stains that leave a colour on the lips that is opaque, or semi-sheer.
They also state that this product is quite a dry product but it isn't drying.
I bought two full sizes to try out – Flavour of the Day (semi-sheer peach) and Deceptive Innocence (a nude beige).
The texture of these lip lustres are very light, like a thin liquid lip balm. It smells a bit mango-ey (to me – probably the butters) and the colour is very dense despite being thin.
Flavour of the Day:
A bit too pearly for me.
I love the pigmentation of these but I have a problem with how they feel on my lips – almost like….cheap lip balm. There's a grittyness to them when I rub my lips together.
I know that from my soapmaking that if you overheat butters it can go gritty so you have to be gentle when you melt it down. It could be that I have a bad batch that was over heated hence the gritty feeling – but it really put me off it. I like things to feel as smooth and hydrating as possible on my lips.
Deceptive Innocence:
This is such a pretty nude colour!
Despite the fact I'm not sure of the texture I would try more shades but in the small sample sizes. There's some colours, like the reds which I am sure would look gorgeous on.
As a lip stain, it certainly not drying and a far better alternative to a traditional lip stain – having said that, it didn't really last that long on me – as long as your average lipstick.
The ingredients list is impressive:
Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil, Mica, Caprylic/Capric/Stearic Glycerides, Orbignya Oleifera (Babassu) Seed Oil, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Iron Oxides, Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E, as a natural oil preservative), Flavor (lip-safe fragrance).
May contain: Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide, Manganese Violet, Synthetic Flurophogopite, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate.
So my overall view on this product is both positive and negative. This was only about $5 so it wasn't a bad punt.

Thanks for the advice, I went and picked up some drivers, a putter and a bag from Disc world, prices were a bit higher than the ones I bought in Boise as gifts for my brother (same discs), but not rediculously over priced and the guy working was very knowledgable and got me hooked up. I got a four day weekend starting tomorrow so I think I'm going to try out Smithville (closest to the house, so I can play a round tonight hopefully), Waterworks and Swope.Once again thanksZane

What Sucks…Quick Hits: Earlobe Piercings, The British Paparazzi, The Prez, Beyonce & Jay Z, American Idol, Lance Armstrong
…Earlobe Piercings
Those enormous gaping loops hanging from your ears almost make it seem worth getting them!
…Beyonce, Jay Z and the Prez!
Beyonce and Jay Z hosted a fundraiser for the President. What an incredible country we live in- just goes to show you, you work hard, follow your dreams- doesn't matter where you come from- you can get to hang out with Beyonce and Jay-Z! Congratulations Mr. President!
…American Idol
Bringing Randy Jackson back into the fold, all four judges are finally settled on. I was beginning to think the search for a judge was going to be a show in itself- "you're going to Hollywood…to tell someone they're a little pitchy!"
…Lance Armstrong
Doping allegations rear their ugly head, although it was only a matter of time before they did- after all this guy won the Tour 'd France 7 times- once by foot!

Since God is perfect, His love would also have to be perfect; so wouldn't that mean he has to love everyone? I know he does not love everyone with the same love he loves the saved, but still wouldn't he have to love his enemies and the "unlovable?"
You are certainly right in saying "God is perfect," but it does not follow that, to be perfect, he has to love everyone. He does not love Satan, even though he created Satan in the first place. However, when he created Satan, he was not at all what he is now. He was originally a mighty angel, pleasing to God. But then he rebelled against God. He did not want to remain in the status that he had been given by God who created him.
In a similar way, man was originally pleasing to God. Adam was created in God's image. But then he, too, rebelled against God. And because the whole human race derives from Adam, it, too, is in rebellion against God. You are therefore also correct when you say that God "does not love everyone with the same love he loves the saved." It is for this reason that the Bible speaks of God's special love for those whom he has chosen out of the fallen human race. It is therefore not correct to suggest that God "has to love everyone." No, God does not have to love everyone. Why should he? There is nothing outside of God that compels him to do anything. He is only compelled to do what his own perfectly holy nature inclines him to do.
It is certainly correct to say that God loved all creatures that he created before they started hating him (for no reason whatever). But now that the human race is fallen, God has every right to say "Jacob have I loved, but Esau I have hated." The fact that God loved Jacob is indeed amazing. But the fact that he hated Esau does not seem to me to be at all amazing.
The place to begin (and end) with respect to these things is to come to realize that because of the fall of man in the sin of Adam we deserve nothing but God's wrath and curse. Starting there, we can see the wonder of God's redeeming love.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

WWDC 2007: the Keynote
This morning kicks off the annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, in San Francisco. It's really for developers--it's not a media circus as so many of these types of shows are. But this year the WWDC has been causing something of a media frenzy among tech enthusiasts and especially Macolytes, as the first beta of the new Leopard OS will be handed out to attendees.
A rundown of the keynote by our own Natali Del Conte, after the jump.
Steve Jobs set off his keynote today in his usual non-designer duds, presenting Paul Otellini, chief executive officer at Intel, with what looked like a paperweight, as a thank you gift for helping Apple transition to Intel processors over the past year. You'd think he could do a little better than that.
"We're not big on awards at Apple, so I asked the design team to make something," Jobs said. "This is a little gift to express our sincere thanks in our extraordinary work."
Next, Bing Gordon, founder and chief creative officer for Electronic Arts, announced four new games to be available in July for OS X. The games are Command & Conquer III, Battlefield 2142, Need for Speed Carbon, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Gordon showed a demo of the Harry Potter game, which looked really great, though the pictures in the stairwells weren't moving like they are supposed to, and the ceiling of the great hall was not quite enchanted.
After another demo semi-announcement from id founder, John Carmack, who said he'd have more details at E3 in a few days, Jobs went on to discuss Leopard, Apple's next generation OS X. He showed off ten new features of Leopard, which I will summarize here:
1. New desktop Gone is the generic blue desktop. The new desktop will let you add your own photos a bit easier and colorize the theme around them. The menu bar has a bit more spacey feel, and each app has something called "Stacks," which lets you click on the application and shows you a stack of all documents that are open within that app. Windows already does this and it is one feature I have missed for a long time on the Mac. About time!
2. New Finder The new sidebar makes it a bit easier to see what is open and search within networks at other computers, even PCs. You can also choose a new view called Cover Flow, which works the same way it does in iTunes, letting you view and play the documents above the lists of them.
3. Quick Look This lets you instantly view files without opening apps. It basically opens up a larger view of each file just by pressing the spacebar. You can even scroll through the documents in Quick Look and play them if they are media without launching any applications.
4. Leopard is 64-bit, Top to Bottom. According to Jobs, "This is the first time 64-bit goes mainstream. Its one version, so if you write a 64-bit application, you are guaranteed that it will run on every version of Leopard."
5. Core Animation Core animation has automatic animation with text, images, video, and OpenGL. It allows you to search for tags within animated files.
6. Bookcamp This will come with Leopard rather than as a separate download. It will let you run Windows XP and Vista on your Mac. It also lets you use Parallels and vmware to run what Jobs refers to as "the occasional Windows app."
7. Spaces Spaces lets you group applications together into separate working areas. Jobs announced this back in January at MacWorld. It is a quadrant of desktops that lets you group applications into separate quadrants so you don't get application-overload on one desktop. You can switch space positioning and switch applications within spaces fairly easily as well.
8. Dashboard There are currently over 3,000 widgets for Dashboard. Apple is adding one more widget for a way to look up movie times, which links to Fandango to buy tickets when you find the movie you want. It also lets you view a trailer of the movie within the widget.
Jobs also discussed WebClip, which he also showed off at MacWorld,. The app lets users make their own widgets from any section of any Web page.
9. iChat Jobs also discussed upgrades to iChat at MacWorld. It will have better audio quality with the low-delay audio protocol called AAC-LD, tabbed chat, which Jobs said was in high demand, photo booth effects, various backdrops, and something called iChat Theater that lets you share your iPhoto libraries, video, audio, and Keynote presentations with the person you're chatting with. This is done with the Quick Look technology so basically anything that can be previewed in Quick Look can be shared over iChat.
10. Time Machine Again, something demoed at MacWorld and probably the most anticipated feature. Time Machine lets you surf a folder or document's history to find older versions of each to find documents or versions that have been lost or altered. It lets you set up backup with one click and automatically backs up everything to a local hard drive or a network server. This can be done wirelessly over the Airport server. It uses Spotlight search to view and restore and you can even restore your entire Mac.
All developers in attendance got a copy of Leopard today. For those of us who will have to wait until October, Jobs announced pricing.
"We've got a basic version and it costs $129," he said. "We've got a premium version that costs $129. We've got a business version that is $129, and we've got an ultimate version for $129. Seriously though, its all one version at one price."
Jobs continued by talking about Safari, which he claims has 5 percent market share in the browser market.
"But we dream big and we'd like to increase that market share," Jobs said. "That is why we are announcing a new version of Safari to run on Windows."
Jobs claims that Safari is the most innovative and fastest browser. It is fast but I don't know about "most innovative." At least it finally has tabbed browsing capabilities.
The Windows beta is available today at apple.com/safari.
Jobs concluded the keynote with news on the much-hyped iPhone. It debuts on June 29 at 6 p.m. And what does this mean to the developers in attendance?
"The iPhone has the full Safari application," Jobs said. "So you can write amazing Web 2.0 and AJAX apps that look and behave exactly like apps on the iPhone."
So Web apps only! No third-party applications for the iPhone. Which means that the rumors about Apple releasing an API for the iPhone were incorrect. Developers need not apply for iPhone API but they can use Safari's API if they want to write apps for the iPhone.
"This is a very modern way to build applications and we think its going to be awesome on the iPhone," Jobs said.

Jason Aldean has filed for divorce from wife Jessica Ussery after 11 years of marriage, TMZ.com reports.
The country singer filed the papers in Tennessee on April 26, citing irreconcilable differences. Aldean and Ussery, who were high school sweethearts, have two children together.
Fall TV Scorecard: Renewed or canceled?
News of their split comes seven months after pictures of Aldean kissing American Idol Season 11 contestant Brittany Kerr surfaced on TMZ. "The truth is that I screwed up. I had too much to drink, let the party get out of hand and acted inappropriately at a bar," Aldean wrote on his Facebook page at the time. "I ultimately ended up embarrassing my family and myself. I'm not perfect, and I'm sorry for disappointing you guys."
Earlier this month, Aldean announced that he and his wife had separated, with his rep stating that they were "having problems."

Some people who have
hemophilia A develop antibodies to the injected
clotting factor. The body thinks that
the replacement clotting factors don't belong in the body, so it creates
the antibodies, also called inhibitors, to get rid of them.
Inhibitors may make it harder to treat bleeding episodes because the
body's natural defense system (immune system) interferes with the
function of replacement clotting factors.
people produce few inhibitors; others produce many.
If you have inhibitors, hemophilia treatment may require
specially engineered replacement clotting factors. Other treatment for clotting
factor inhibitors includes therapy to suppress the immune system
(immunosuppressive therapy).
If you have a larger amount of inhibitors, you might be treated with:
If your body produces few inhibitors in reaction to clotting
you may be treated with clotting factor concentrate that is made in a lab (recombinant clotting factors). You might get large doses of the clotting factors, which can
overwhelm the inhibitors.
