Does yoga in schools violate religious freedom? This debate has landed in a San Diego, CA superior court, where plaintiffs allege a yoga program funded by a $533,720 grant from the Jois Foundation violates the separation between church and state. Plaintiff expert witness Candy Gunther Brown, a religious studies professor at Harvard, submitted a 36-page brief alleging that yoga comprises religious indoctrination, testifying that all forms of yoga share the religious goal of human salvation. With presiding Judge John Meyer, a confirmed yoga practitioner who has revealed he doesn't see anything religious about yoga, the trial is shaping up to be an interesting one.
The suit has been filed on behalf of parents and guardians of students in the Encinitas school district by the non-profit, conservative think-tank National Center for Law and Policy, represented by Dean Broyles. As blogged previously by Yoga Basics, those dissatisfied with the Encinitas program take issue with the curriculum's foundation and funding origins in Ashtanga yoga. Plaintiffs allege that even secular yoga, scrubbed of religious overtones, is inextricably linked to Hindu religion. Defending the program is the Encinitas school district, as well as a group of parents in support of the yoga program, Yes! Yoga for Encinitas.

In support of the curriculum's intrinsic religiousness, Broyles cites language that refers to helping students connect with their "inner selves," and bringing the "inner spirit of each child to the surface." Quotes from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Ashtanga yoga's progenitor, have been presented to further support that yoga postures may unintentionally lead to "absorption into the Universal/union with the divine." Brown testified that the school's curriculum includes the same opening and closing poses as Ashtanga. Further, the curriculum's inclusion of ethical precepts that resemble the yamas and niyamas, in addition to breathing and concentration exercises, closely resemble classical yoga's eight-limbed path.
School district officials vehemently oppose this take on their curriculum, asserting that any religious references have been eliminated. A 12-page trial brief filed on behalf of the district contends the "exercise program" was created entirely to enhance mental and physical fitness, with no religious instruction. An additional six-page brief filed on behalf of Yes! asserts that because modern forms of yoga include "paddleboard yoga," "hip-hop yoga," and "yoga booty ballet," it represents more cultural phenomenon than religion.
The trial, scheduled to resume June 24, is being observed closely from all sides, as the outcome will have far-reaching implications for the teaching of allegedly secular yoga and mindfulness-based practices in school settings. In this recognizance, Yoga Alliance (YA) has come out in support of the defense: "We believe that yoga can be taught in a completely secular manner … [and] agree [with the defense] that EUSD students 'should not be deprived of their world class yoga program merely because of plaintiffs' personal bias.'"
To refute the claim that yoga is inherently religious, YA has arranged expert testimony from religious and philosophical scholars Chris Chapple, PhD and Mark Singleton, PhD as well as YA board chairman Brandon Hartsell. Singleton remarked, "In my opinion, to claim that the practice of yoga techniques in secular, ecumenical, or religiously plural settings in the United States today is inherently religious is akin to claiming that college basketball is inherently religious because of its missionary Christian origins."
Are there yoga programs being implemented in school systems near you? What kinds of reactions have their been?

Come on, Academy. Let us dream about this rumored combination: Tina Fey might join Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin as a third host of the Oscars.
Baldwin did little to squash the talk on the Screen Actors Guild awards red carpet this weekend. "No one told me, but if it's true, that'd be great," Baldwin told Access Hollywood from the red carpet. "I'd be elated."
Baldwin even grabbed the reporter's microphone and interviewed a passing Tina Fey to ask her about the rumor. "I might come," Fey retorted. "But I ain't hosting."
Baldwin then followed: "See how effectively she lies."
In the meantime, both Fey and Baldwin suggested outrageous Tracy Morgan as a fellow host. "In the year of crazy, dysfunctional African-American dramas, we need Tracy to co-host the Oscars," Baldwin added.
Fey's denials aside, the fact that Baldwin can ad lib this well on the red carpet bodes well for him on Oscar night. Our anticipation for this show is growing.

I've been searching all over RPG sites for this kind of setting, but I didn't find anything similar until now. Well:
- High Fantasy: I mean something not from this dimension, out of ordinary, but not grim or brutal. I want something more elvish, wonderful and bright, not excessively fantastical (don't want overpowered mages and larger-than-life creatures).
- Evocative: Evocative has a lot of meanings, but what I am trying to conjure is a poetic setting, with a sense of wonder and beauty, spirituality and smoothness. A place where the magic runs subtly on the universe (like a Tolkien setting) and where valour, honour and compassion (or other positive aspects) are important parts of the character creation (I want to build really good-aligned characters).
These were the RPG that I found closer to what I initially thought:
- CODA LOTR: I really appreciate all the Tolkien's Legendarium, so of course I appreciate the setting. I liked the system, specially the order division (simple and objective, but you still can make your character unique) and the magic stuff (very similar to the original works). I really like the Tolkien elves, I like their ethereality, their simplicty and their subtle mysticism. Said that, I'm searching for a RPG with that Lothlorien-esque feel.
- Tribe 8: I like all the shamanistic stuff in the game, but it's 90% post-apocalyptical horror, and I don't like horror-themed games.
- How We Came To Live Here: An indie RPG about native americans. I lke the simplicity of the game and the poetry of the setting, but, as I said, I'm looking for something more fantastical.
With a classic good versus evil duality, and still a good bit of combat. Somewhat like Blue Rose but more mysterious and divine.
Maybe I'm being a little too specific, but I really hope that you can give me some good advice and recommend me similar games. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I am very new to Java programming and I'm stuck!
I'm working through a book that sets me exercises etc but I wondered if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong here.
Im trying to add a conditional statement to my constructor, that counts the amount of characters in a string and prints an error message if the string has less than 4 characters.
I know the String class has a length accessor method, and thats what I'm trying to use here.
public class Student { // the student's full name private String name; // the student ID private String id; // the amount of credits for study taken so far private int credits; /** * Create a new student with a given name and ID number. */ public Student(String fullName, String studentID) { name = fullName; id = studentID; credits = 0; if(studentID.length < 4) { System.out.println("You need 4 or more charaters"); } }
Now this just doesn't compile, it has a problem with .length in my if statement.
It's not obvious why this won't work, could someone please help me out?

Burbank, CA. � January 19, 2010 � Starz is piling on the offbeat humor, packaging the returning comedy series "Party Down" and the new dramatic comedy "Gravity" to run Fridays at 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. (et/pt), respectively, starting on Friday, April 23, only on Starz. These two comedies fit in with Starz' commitment to program series unlike anything on TV.
Actress Megan Mullally ("Will & Grace," Fame) joins the "Party Down" cast this season as Lydia Dunfree, a middle-aged refugee from a lousy marriage who moves to Hollywood in hopes that her 13 year-old daughter will make it big. She joins a talented ensemble of actors lead by Adam Scott (Indie Spirit Award nominee: Best Actor for The Vicious Kind), Ken Marino, Lizzy Caplan, Martin Starr and Ryan Hansen.
Rob Thomas ("Veronica Mars," "Cupid") along with John Enbom, Paul Rudd and Dan Etheridge are executive producers and Adam Scott (Henry Pollard) is a producer on the show. Bryan Gordon ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") and Fred Savage ("The Wonder Years") return as series directors and supervising producers. Also directing episodes this year are David Wain (Role Models) and Ken Marino, who directs the season finale, featuring the wedding of first season regular Jane Lynch. Starz Media, the production and distribution sibling of the Starz premium entertainment channels is also producer of the critically lauded series, which was recently named one of the 10 best TV shows of 2009 by the AFI.
"Party Down" shares the 10 p.m. hour with "Gravity," which follows the sometimes comic, sometimes tragic exploits of a group from an eccentric out-patient program of suicide survivors. Krysten Ritter ("Breaking Bad," Confessions of a Shopaholic), stars as Lily Champagne, a twenty-something who just can't connect to anyone until she actually dies. She stars with Ivan Sergei ("Charmed," The Break-Up), who plays Robert Collingsworth, who is despondent following the death of his wife, and who becomes an internet celebrity when his suicide attempt goes comically awry. He stars with Eric Schaeffer, the series' co-creator and one of its executive producers, who plays Miller, an enigmatic cop with mysterious intentions.
Also in the cast are Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, Mission Impossible) as Dogg McFee, the group's leader and a former Major League Baseball player, now confined to a wheelchair; and supermodel Rachel Hunter as Shawna Rollins, a former spokesmodel and current life coach who is surprised to find herself attracted to someone much younger than herself. Robyn Cohen (The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, "Starved"), James Martinez (Brother to Brother) and Seth Numrich (How to Kill a Mockingbird) round out the main cast.
Schaeffer, an actor/director/writer/producer, is partnered with series co-creator Jill Franklyn (My First Mister), who was nominated for an Emmy� Award for co-writing the "Yada, Yada" episode of "Seinfeld," and has written on numerous series. Dan Pasternack ("Starved," "Beggars and Choosers") will be executive producer along with Schaeffer and Franklyn. Daniel Hank ("Starved") is producer on the series.

How to Use Motion Presets in Flash CS5
Motion Presets in Adobe Flash Creative Suite 5 take to a new level the concept of reusing Flash animation behavior, by allowing you to take a "snapshot" of an animation's behavior and save it as a handy preset that can be applied anywhere and at any time for any project. As with Copy and Paste Motion, Motion Presets store behavior, not specific symbols.
Motion Presets are especially useful if you've taken the time to design a particularly complex animation sequence, such as a bouncing ball complete with eases and loss of inertia, and want to use it within another project later. You can use the Motion Presets panel to save, manage, and apply Motion Presets.
Motion Presets are saved within the application, not the project file, so you can access all your created presets from within any project.
Create a Flash CS5 Motion Preset
To create a Motion Preset, follow these steps:
Open the Motion Presets panel by choosing Window→Motion Presets.
Select on your Timeline the Motion Tween span you want to save as a preset.
You can generally select the entire span by clicking it once directly in the Timeline panel.
In the lower left corner of the Motion Presets, click the Save Selection As Preset icon.
When the Save Preset As dialog box appears, enter a preset name in the text field and then click OK.
The new preset appears in your Motion Presets panel.
Apply a Flash CS5 Motion Preset
Once you've created a Motion Preset, you can apply the animation behavior stored in that preset to any symbols on the stage. To apply a Motion Preset, follow these steps:
Click to select on the Timeline a layer containing a symbol instance that you want to apply a motion preset to.
For the best result, make sure that the layer has no other animation on it and that it contains a single instance of a symbol.
If the Motion Presets panel isn't already visible in your workspace, open it by choosing Window→Motion Presets.
Locate the Motion Preset you want to apply.
If you have none of your own presets, you can choose from a number of precreated presets in the Default Presets folder.
Click to select the preset you want to apply, and click the Apply button in the lower right corner of the Motion Presets panel.
Your selected layer and symbol now have a new animation applied.
Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac) to preview the animation on the Timeline.
Though you should target an existing symbol instance on the stage with Motion Presets, if you attempt to apply a Motion Preset to nonsymbol graphics, Flash converts the selected graphics to a symbol on the fly.

Colo. storm forces cancellation of 500 DIA flights
DENVER (AP) – A storm moving across Colorado's Front Range and eastern plains has forced the cancellation of 500 flights at Denver International Airport, but forecasters are expecting lower snow accumulations than initially predicted.
National Weather Service meteorologist Bernie Meier tells The Denver Post (http://bit.ly/10vG2Qk ) temperatures hovering in the low 30s have allowed the snow to melt faster than expected. Only 2 inches had fallen at DIA by about 1 p.m. Saturday, and officials now expect between 6 and 8 inches – down from as much as 16 inches estimated earlier.
Mindy Crane with the Colorado Department of Transportation says 340 snow plows have been deployed across the Front Range, including 75 in the Denver metro area. Another 30 plows are working the Interstate 70 corridor from just west of Denver to Vail.
Warmer temperatures and sunny skies are expected Sunday.

Lincoln, the Supreme Court and same-sex marriage
It is fitting that Steven Spielberg's widely praised "Lincoln" has been released in the same period in which same-sex marriage has attracted close attention from both voters and the Supreme Court. More than any other American president, Abraham Lincoln thought deeply about the complex relationship between moral commitments and political constraints.
With respect to slavery, Lincoln's moral conclusions were not ambiguous. In his first debate with Stephen Douglas in 1858, he decried "the monstrous injustice of slavery itself." He proclaimed, "I hate it" — not least because it "causes the real friends of freedom to doubt our sincerity, and especially because it forces so many really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty."
Lincoln insisted that "in the right to eat the bread, without the leave of anybody else, which his own hand earns," the person who is enslaved "is my equal and the equal of Judge Douglas, and the equal of every living man."
For an aspiring senator from Illinois in 1858, these statements were exceptionally bold. With respect to what to do and when to do it, Lincoln was vague and ambivalent. While supporting "gradual emancipation," he insisted that nothing should be done immediately to eliminate the very practice that he hated. His explanation? The "great mass of white people" wouldn't support abolition. In his most striking passage, Lincoln added, "Whether this feeling accords with justice and sound judgment, is not the sole question, if, indeed, it is any part of it. A universal feeling, whether well or ill-founded, cannot be safely disregarded."
When politicians defer to "universal feeling," they are often self-interested. Knowing that their electoral lives are on the line, they choose to live. Other politicians defer out of humility. Lacking confidence in their own views, they follow the judgments of their constituents. But in this context, Lincoln was being neither self-interested nor humble. Instead he was emphasizing democratic constraints on the achievement of clear moral imperatives. As he went on to say: "Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed."
Of course, it is possible to think that Lincoln was wrong. Shouldn't he have called for immediate abolition, just because the moral issue was so clear? Why should "the great mass of white people" have veto power over what may be the most basic human right — the right not to be owned by another person? If there is an adequate answer, it is that no leader can shove his own moral commitments down the throats of We the People — and if he tries, he will fail.
These points bear directly on the role of the Supreme Court. In "The Least Dangerous Branch," published in 1962, Yale law professor Alexander Bickel invoked Lincoln to argue that the court must combine high principle with a keen sense of pragmatism. It must be careful about the timing of its own interventions. When society is sharply divided, the court must use its discretion not to decide.
Bickel memorably urged, "No good society can be unprincipled, and no viable society can be principle-ridden." In his view, the court was right to refuse to recognize certain constitutional principles before the nation was ready for them. In this way, Bickel explained the court's otherwise puzzling refusal, in 1955, to strike down bans on racial intermarriage.
If we keep Lincoln's example in mind, we might well believe that for many important questions, it is reasonable for public officials, and particularly federal judges, to proceed cautiously when the nation's moral judgments are changing — not least when they are moving in the right direction. Suppose that we agree (as I think we should) that it is unacceptably discriminatory to forbid same-sex marriages — and that this form of discrimination was no less unacceptable in 1992 and 2002 than it is 2012. Does it follow that the Supreme Court should have ruled, in those earlier years, that states must recognize same-sex marriages?
Not necessarily. If the court had required states to recognize such marriages in 1992, or even 2002, it would not quite have rejected a "universal feeling," but it would have acted in blatant defiance of widespread moral judgments. Any such ruling might well have produced a serious backlash and ultimately proved self-defeating. By short-circuiting public discussion, it would have spurred a serious and possibly successful effort to amend the Constitution to ban same-sex marriage.
Things are different today. Since 2010, polls have found that a majority of Americans support same-sex marriage. The once-unthinkable has happened: An American president has announced that he favors state recognition of same-sex marriages. On Nov. 6, the citizens of Maryland, Washington and Maine voted to allow such marriages. On the same day, Minnesota voters refused to incorporate the state's existing ban on same- sex marriage into the state constitution. Same-sex marriage is also recognized in Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia. There is no national consensus in favor of same-sex marriage, but the national consensus against it has disintegrated.
In less than two weeks, the Supreme Court will decide whether to hear one or more of several cases that bear on the question of whether governments can reserve the institution of marriage to heterosexual couples. This isn't the place for a discussion of the underlying legal issues, which are technical and complex. But in past years, there was a distinctive reason for judicial caution, rooted in Lincolnian thinking about "public sentiment." In light of continuing movements in that sentiment, that particular argument for caution becomes weaker every day.

As the saying goes, Think globally, act locally. With that in mind, I would like to start off this article with a unique community service announcement from one of our La Plata County 4-H clubs.
Looking for a way to get rid of all that leftover baling twine? The Rockin Riders 4-H Club is recycling it.
We hope to reduce the amount of polypropylene going into our landfills, says Emma Van Dyck, president of the Rockin Riders. La Plata County uses tons of baling twine every year. After its used, it is either thrown away, burned or buried. Basin Co-op and La Plata County Fairgrounds are our current drop-off locations, but we are looking for more locations, as well.
As of Monday, you may drop off your used baling twine at Basin Co-op or the fairgrounds. If your business would like to volunteer as a drop-off location, call Van Dyck at (970) 903-5741 or Lisa Marie Jacobs at (970) 903-6818. 4-H is strongly supported by La Plata County, and we would like to give back to our community.
So instead of just bunching up your bailing twine and throwing it into the trash, take the time to separate it into its own box or bag and then bring it to a drop-off location. 4-H members are learning to be the next environmental stewards of the land, water and air. Community engagement in this initiative will help them toward this goal.
This is also a great example of how positive youth-adult partnerships are making a difference in our community. Many 4-H community-service and service-learning projects require the commitment and dedication from both adults and youths. Many service activities require adults (parents) to assist youths in the process of planning, organizing and implementing an activity. Through these activities, both adults and youths can gain practical skills for working together across generational differences for a good cause.
Last month, I had the pleasure of attending the Animas Valley 4-Hs High Tea at the Grange. This community event brought together Animas Valley Grange members with 4-Hers in a fun-filled way. 4-Hers served tasty cucumber sandwiches, cheese, crackers, desserts, tea and biscuits while also showing off their talents through poems, dancing and song displays. I found this to be a creative way to have youths interact with older (wiser) members of the community. It also showed off the hard work parents do to help their children see the value in these activities. Everyone left with a smile on their face and a special trinket.
Other great service activities from last month include the Mountaineers club making Valentine cookies for residents and staff at the Sunshine Gardens home and the Mount Allison Go-Getters sending homemade beef jerky gift packages to our troops overseas.
Finally, I would like to invite everyone out to the Breen Grange on Saturday to support the Mountain Shadows 4-H Club. The club will be hosting a pancake dinner, silent auction and dance. Dinner will start at 6 p.m.
firstname.lastname@example.com or 382-6463. Greg Felsen is La Plata County 4-H youth development agent.

Edit and share game clips in the Xbox Console Companion app on Windows 10
Make videos and screenshots of your gameplay with the capturing feature in the Xbox Console Companion app, and then edit and share your best moments with friends.
On this page
How to edit your game clips
To create your perfect gaming montage, you can edit clips from your Xbox One and your PC in your favorite video editor.
If all you need is to trim the beginning or end of a clip to focus on the best moment, use the Trim tool in the Xbox Console Companion app.
Then, share your edited clips to your favorite social media, including to Xbox Live through the Xbox Console Companion app.
Trim a game clip
- Open the Xbox Console Companion app, and then select Captures.
Note Editing in the Xbox Console Companion app is restricted to Trim at this time, but it's perfect for taking just a little off the front and back to focus on one moment.
- Select the clip you want to edit. You can choose from On this PC and On Xbox Live.
- If you chose a clip from On Xbox Live that you haven't downloaded yet, select Upload.
- To shorten the clip, select Trim.
- Move the left bar to trim length off the beginning, and the right bar to trim the end of the recording.
- When you're satisfied, select Save copy to finish.
Rename a clip
Game clips are originally named with the game title, the date, and the time so that you can quickly find it, but you can change the name before you share your clip with the world.
Select the clip you want to rename, then select Rename. Enter the name you'd prefer, then press Rename. Remember, any video you share is subject to the Xbox Live Terms of Use, so keep it cordial.
Sharing game clips and screenshots on Xbox Live and elsewhere
Game clips (under 30 minutes long) and screenshots of popular PC games and any game available through the Microsoft Store can be shared to Xbox Live. They aren't automatically uploaded from Windows 10.
- In the Xbox Console Companion app, select Captures.
- Select On Xbox Live.
- Select the game clip or screenshot you want to share.
- Select Share, and then choose where you want to share it.
Note Xbox checks uploaded content for violations of the Xbox Live Code of Conduct. There may be a delay before your clip or screenshot is visible to anyone else.
To share your captures to other social networks or by email, you'll find the files in the Captures folder, which by default is in your videos folder. To find the files for your captures from the Xbox Console Companion app, select Captures, select On this PC, select the clip or screenshot you want to share, and then select Open folder. File Explorer will open and you'll see where the clip or screenshot is located on your PC. Then, use the website or app for the social media network to share the clip or screenshot file.
Who can see my clips?
Game clips uploaded to your Activity feed on Xbox Live are visible to people on Xbox Live according to your privacy and online safety settings. To make changes:
- Access your privacy & online safety settings.
- Select the Privacy tab.
- Next to See your game clips (Xbox One only), select who you want to share with, whether it's Everybody or just your Friends, or you can choose to completely Block others from seeing your game clips.

Twenty-three years, 195 countries and a single rucksack: that's what it takes to complete a travel bucket list. We've all got one and most of us probably won't be able to complete it; there are just too many incredible sights in the world. But one man has ticked of his entire list, so we called him up for a chat.
Back in 1990 on a trip around North America, Mike Spencer Bown had an epiphany in the Rocky Mountain Range that later inspired a mammoth journey around the Earth. With a slight pang of jealousy in my voice, I grilled him about his epic trip.
So how did it begin?
I was standing over a valley full of ponderosa pines, where I could see all the trees below and a chain of lakes almost like a string of pearls. The sky was a bit blue, there were forest fires in the distance and I could see a little bit of the curve of the Earth.
That's kind of a strange sight, you know. I figured there must be so many other amazing, strange sights. I thought, I wonder if anyone has ever tried to go and see all the different ecosystems of earth? That was my first idea.
For the first few years I didn't even know how feasible it was, but I still tried to keep it in mind. After four or five years I was thinking, maybe it's not even doable – but I just kept on. After ten years I was already half way, so I just carried on through and now here I am.
How did you fund all this?
I used to think up ideas for products that could be manufactured, like coffee tables made out of coffee wood, and I'd get them shipped between countries.
In Java they're cutting down coffee plantations and selling the coffee wood as firewood. I would have tables that are low to the ground made out of it, and then when I sold them in North America I'd say, "it's not just a coffee table; it's a coffee coffee table, because it's made out of coffee wood". With that one little joke you'd have them sell like hot cakes: I could sell a container in a day or two.
You went to the most dangerous areas of the world, what was the scariest thing that happened on your trip?
Somalia was pretty dodgy. It was a raging war when I was there: hand-shells whistling overhead; gunfire everywhere; trench warfare. But I think it's actually not that bad, compared to the wilderness. When I was younger I used to do some mountain climbing, wilderness expeditions. I've had hundreds of run-ins with bears. And a mountain lion tried to kill me once.
Umm, a mountain lion tried to kill you?
Yeah, a mountain lion tried to kill me. That was quite funny. I was way, way up in the mountains doing some night hiking – you can hardly see the trees in front of you, I was just going by a bit of moonlight. I came to a bit of a dip in the landscape, and I could hear some sort of animal start following me. To test it I stopped, and it took one footstep, two footsteps, and then it stopped also. And I was like, ooh, a mountain lion! If it was a bear it would just blundered on. So I thought, oh no, it's a situation now! What to do?
Because I had no weapons, and it was maybe ten metres behind me, I really, really had to mind my feet. I knew there were cliffs everywhere, and it was really, really steep. If I even stumbled slightly he would've lunged. So I had to just puff out my chest and stride as if I could see everything around me.
As I went down it followed me the whole time. I was kind of hoping it would turn around as we got off the mountain and deeper into the valley, but no, it kept on.
Then, when I got to my tent, I hoped it'd leave because there was so much smell of me around. But instead it started making runs as me. It'd come forward, making no noise, coming right at me. So I grabbed a stick, and spun it around and yelled to scare it off. But it would circle, rotate and come at me from another angle, and I'd have to do the same thing again and again.
Eventually, I decided to eat plenty of tuna because I thought maybe if it smells that I'm a meat-eater it might leave me alone. Eventually it did.
What is the strangest thing that happened to you while travelling?
Well, I would make the worst hotel inspector on earth. Really, the worst! I don't complain to the management about anything. You know how a porcelain toilet is somewhat hollow inside? In Southern Chad I was in a hotel where there was a nest of carnivorous red ants, with stingers, living inside of the toilet, and when you flushed it they would boil out and try to kill you – they'd try to slice up your butt with their pincers!
You'd have to lunge out the door and slam it shut, and you'd hear them skittering against the wood. By the time you, you know, had to use the toilet again hopefully an hour had passed and they would've returned to their nest. You'd think I have gone and complained to management? I just thought OK, I'll be fast about it, no problem!
What's changed the most in travel since you began?
Flying seemed to get more expensive. I tried to avoid flying as much as possible.
One of the bigger changes has been the communication change – this has been a pretty big one. It used to be that months would go by and you didn't communicate with anybody. You'd really feel that you were in another world. Because you're not in touch with family or friends, you feel that you're on your own and you really have to talk to locals.
Then email came in and there was a little bit of change. Every so often there'd be an internet café, but mostly people didn't really know how to use it and it was kind of hit-and-miss. But then, by the late nineties or around 2000 there was quite a lot of emailing going on. Soon after that, Facebook came along, which changed everything.
And what about attitudes towards travel, how have they changed?
I noticed that travel is getting a little bit more organised and people's risk tolerance is going down too. These days the media go crazy if a traveller gets killed somewhere. They're all for talking about safety issues and how people shouldn't go to certain areas because of a lack of safety; they say it's irresponsible.
Which country was least how you expected it to be?
Pakistan was completely different. Everyone thought it was full of terrorists and very unfriendly, anti-American and anti-Canadian, so I thought that I'd have to be careful, but it turned out to be not the case at all.
I arrived there and everyone was super friendly: sometimes taxi drivers wouldn't accept payment for the ride they'd given to me; the herders on the mountain just wanted to sit and share their bread with me and maybe I'd have a little bit of food – some sardines or something – to share with them. There's good food and it's relatively cheap – you could get a good hotel for about six bucks – a really good place for travellers.
What's the most important thing you've learned on your travels?
To trust your intuition. First of all build your intuition, then trust your intuition for people's characters, whether you should do something or not do something. Eventually you've gotta get a sixth sense almost. You might be in a neighbourhood and think no way, I shouldn't go there. Sometimes your intuition will say "sure thing, go ahead", but it's important that you make the right decision for yourself.
Don't be afraid to explain it to others that you don't feel comfortable – that's how you avoid danger.
Mike now plans to "settle down and find a girlfriend", and spend some time on a beach in Panama writing up his adventures to publish as a book. All photos courtesy of Mike Spencer Bown.

Some pharmacies in the Bay Area are reporting a temporary shortage in flu shots amid a rise in deaths related to the illness.
Both CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens have said that some of their local pharmacies have run out of flu shots and are trying to re-stock their supplies. Other pharmacies in the area still have vaccines on hand.
A Walgreens store in Millbrae ran out of flu shots Saturday afternoon, after starting the day with just 30 doses left. The stock was expected to be replenished on Monday.
While not every pharmacy is experiencing vaccine shortages, Walgreens and CVS have both acknowledged that some of their pharmacies are running low or have run out of flu shots because of high demand. Bringing additional vaccines in typically takes 48 hours.
The shortage comes just as state health officials are urging people to get the flu vaccine, citing a series of deaths resulting from the H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu.
Seven Bay Area counties, including Santa Cruz County, have reported collectively more than a dozen deaths so far this flu season.
The most recent victim was a 23-year-old man from Sonoma County with no underlying heath problems. All of the victims so far have been under the age of 65.
MORE: Women Die of H1N1 Flu Virus in Contra Costa, Santa Clara Counties
Despite the risks, some people said they still aren't planning on getting vaccinated.
"I know that there are people who have died recently, but I consider if it's my time to go, it's my time to go," San Bruno resident Yvonne Scheerer said. "And I don't try to worry about getting illnesses or being concerned about that."
Novato resident Melissa Marengo also said she won't be getting a shot anytime soon.
"I've actually never had one," she said. "I don't do well with shots. It hasn't seemed something I've been concerned about."
About four years ago, roughly 600 Californians died in a swine flu pandemic. Health officials are not predicting a similar pandemic this year, but they said this flu season appears to be worse than previous years.

For a canvas embellishment class with Tony Minieri, the student will select a painted needlepoint canvas to stitch. Tony evaluates this canvas, selects threads for enhancement and develops a custom stitch guide for the student which is based on the student's proficiency, personal goals and ability. In the class, Tony works directly with the student to insure his/her understanding of the stitch guide, the learning of new techniques and thread uses and helps with visualization of the end creation.
Canvases are selected in advance of the actual class in order to provide an ample amount of time for Tony's interpretation and production of the stitch guide. Check with the class sponsor/shop for due date. If you select a canvas which must be painted, be sure and allow at least an extra 8 weeks for delivery of the canvas to your shop.

A$AP Rocky Grabs Rihanna's Booty During 2012 MTV VMA Performance
There are always surprises at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, but one of the most talked-about moments at the show happened during Rihanna's kick-off performance of the remix of 'Cockiness (I Love It)' with A$AP Rocky.
As the title of the song suggests, the Harlem rapper got a little, um, cocky, and near the end of the song, he grabbed a handful of RiRi's booty before leaning in for a kiss on the cheek (pun intended). Rihanna didn't seem bothered with being groped onstage, and playfully pushed Rocky away.
Their intimate moment was surprising given the fact that Rihanna's ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, was sitting in the audience watching the performance. But we figure he didn't mind since he was later photographed kissing Rihanna at the event. Footage verifying the smooch has sparked rumors that the couple have rekindled their relationship, despite Brown dating his current boo Karrueche Tran.
In the end, everyone came out a winner. A$AP Rocky grabbed one of the most sought-after backsides in pop music, Breezy won a moonman trophy for Best Male Video and Rihanna nabbed the coveted Video of the Year award (for 'We Found Love').

So the circus (pictured above) is in Dunedin this afternoon. Overall, I've got to say that the fans here at Dunedin Stadium went pretty easy on A-Rod. Then again, it was mostly Yankees fans in attendance for BP and they were showing the love. We'll see if the elderly crowd here is a little less forgiving during his first trip to the plate.
There was one well-educated heckler who yelled out, "Where's Yuri?" Well played, sir.

Nice article on Carlos Delgado , I wish he was still a Jay
Thanks for that link Idigo, very nice read.
I too miss him as a Jay. Here's hoping the Mets win a championship with him.
Indigo-thanks for the artilce. I for one think the 2003 MVP award should be stripped from A-Rod and awarded to Delgado.
Nice first outing from Cecil, not surprising he gave up a home run to the first batter, I'm surprised he didn't puke. lol Four K's in two innings against the Yanks is a fine achievement.
Washington Nationals General Manager Jim Bowden said Monday that he has done nothing wrong. The federal investigators looking into Bowden still aren't so sure, a source familiar with the investigation said.
The Nationals, meantime, are waiting to find out, and want to learn more about Bowden's possible involvement in a growing baseball-wide scandal before they determine whether he retains his job.
But behind the scenes, according to sources, some within the team's ownership group — which includes Theodore N. Lerner, the team's managing principal owner, seven principal owners and nine founding partners — are eager to cut ties with the general manager they inherited almost three years ago, and see the investigation as a way of facilitating Bowden's exit.
The Nationals, one source said, are encouraging the investigation to return an answer on Bowden so the parties can "go on their merry way."
Washington Post
"A growing baseball-wide scandal." Is it just me or are others starting to feel this might unravel into something not very nice.
the investigation on bowden is about him possibly taking signing bonus money from latin american born players.. hmm interesting i'm anxious to see how this pans out.

Look for the "Sneaky Inside Tips" in red to get the most out of the post!
I try to update free-bees and coupons every day. Check back. PS: Comments and feedback very much appreciated. I like to know what's useful and what's making your finger blur on the scroll button.

Erin's Best Girls....
Leeann Whiffen: she looks like a sweet little Idaho buttercup, but she's got a backbone of steel. When her son Clay started disappearing into the black tunnel of autism, she dug in and dragged him back out. Now, she spends her time helping all the other autism moms do the same. (Editor's note: if you haven't read her incredible book "A Child's Journey Out Of Autism," get it NOW. It's incredibly inspiring for every parent.)
Shantel the Angel Lady: you meet a lot of 'psychics' in radio. They're eager to get on the air with you and read a few auras, make a little cash... It soured me on the whole thing until I met Shantel. We took a call on our radio show from a grandma who wanted to know if her little grandson with autism--who couldn't speak--was happy. Shantel's face lit up like a thousand candles, and tears poured down her face as she talked about the little man's love for his dog (Editor's note: Shantel accurately described the dog, the boy's room, even what kind of cheese he liked on his sandwiches) and the little pleasures of his life. A Nana hung up, weeping with joy in her relief. We wept with joy for the happiness of a child who couldn't speak but could still share.
Allison Rogers: it took me a while to realize what animal Allison is--a hummingbird. She darts about in her brilliant plumage and dips her clever beak into one life and then another, spreading joy like nectar. She is my Zachie's and he is hers.
Mandy Johnson: while Mandy is sleek and deliciously feline, she is no cat. Cats are selfish. Mandy's quiet care and iron-clad consistency show the strong core of an incredible woman.
Ballads will be sung around the campfire about Mandy.
Mary Helen Parsons, my mom. The woman rocks. MH is in her early 70's, looks 20 years younger, has traveled to Russia, Fiji, China, Israel (DURING the recent shelling) and most recently Peru. The Peru trip was especially entertaining to me because I caught her packing bribes for the border guards so that she could get medicines into the orphanges. My MOM is bribing border guards! Mary Helen=rocks. Sorry, have to say it.
Karen Streeter, she was Z&M's first grade teacher. She believes in my boys. She would race out when I picked them up after school to tell me of their latest triumph. If your heart is not tearing apart with appreciation for the sheer amazingness of Karen right now, then I SHUN you.
Karen Paulsen, ever met one of those people who were exactly as they seemed to be? Neither have I, until Karen. She is honest, sincere, courageous, and ALWAYS Karen in good times or bad.
Barbara Zocco. My best girl. Period. She knows the dark recesses of my human heart and I know hers. And we still love each other.
Lori Cain, who is fierce! Not like, Tyra Banks fierce which is really creepy and seems to involve wigs and a lot of makeup, but fierce like "I will do anything to save this kid with special needs no matter what it takes" fierce.
Jacey Walker, still the pushiest broad I know. But, you should really read bossymommy.blogspot.com if you know what's good for you. Plus, she's pretty.
Jen Collard, my school teachin', Rekii doin', tractor drivin' sister-in-law who is one of the tiniest, toughest, tenderest broads alive. Plus, she has two new titanium hips! She could crush you with one snap of her thigh...
Sharee Gallivan, whom we call "Martha" behind her back because her taste is so perfectly perfect in it's perfection. She manages to be graceful, charming and kind without making me feel like an utter buffoon by comparison
Ysa Pitman, my horrifyingly clever niece who lectured me on prosbiscus monkeys at the age of 3. Talk about feeling inadequate...
Jenne Parsons, exquisitely beautiful, exquisitely talented, and mean enough to tear your head clean off on a bad day. I ADORE her.
Eliza McKay, who has a howling laugh that you can hear clear back in Chicago. She is effortlessly cool and has merry brown eyes.
Kristy Custer, who can burp like a man. She is the Dark Mistress of Nutrition and bends stubborn children to her will.
"Miss" Virginia, my mother-in-law. I was too scared of her at first to call her anything else. She's got a queenly elegance and an almost terrifying sense of cool. Case in point: you do not start her fires in her massive Colonial-era fireplace with wadded-up newspaper. You start them with dried lavender twigs from her garden, wrapped neatly in raffia. See what I mean?
Kim and Katie Tucker, Katie is a tiny buttercup of a thing who will one day rule Hollywood with an iron fist, Kim is the woman who, like the multi-armed Shiva, raises Katie, dispenses pharmaceuticals, participates in every charity known to man, and still attends hockey games to throw things.
Jenny Ulvestad, who does not know yet that she is exquisitely beautiful and brilliant. WHY can't you force a teenage to see themselves the way you do? Shouldn't there be a magic mirror that shows the painfully unsure how beautiful they truly are?
Jen Burnazos, since the first day she walked into my living room and pretended to be a frog, she has been the sister of my heart, if not my blood. Everything MacLean is, is half her. She is blindingly beautiful with blue, blue eyes and almost spitefully unlined skin.
Karen Hansen, a sweet Scandinavian type gal with big blue eyes. She's an accountant, for heaven's sake! But everytime she pops up with a massive tub of hash browns, she has some bizarre adventure involving gothic vampire writers...Hawaii...jewelry...she's like some sort of insane secret agent. In fact, the chances are excellent that she IS.
Stephanie Rawson, who turned out to be even better than we all planned--and believe me, we had some REALLY high expectations. Unfailingly generous, unrelentingly kind, and startlingly clever.
Patti Stith, you want tickets to the Fray on Saturday? She's got 'em. You want a distributor who can give you 300 guavas by Monday? She's got 'em. You want a shoulder to cry on when your heart is breaking? You got her.
Mary Helen Pitman, with her clever smile and secretive little face, she always looks like she's thinking, "I could get away with that..." And dangit, she's so cute that she HAS.

Oh mama I am so sorry! I know how you feel. My knuckles were cracked and bleeding because of my cold. If you have had cold sores in the past though shouldn't Denver at least have your antibodies for that? I know it can be pretty serious for little babies to pick that up but thought they had some immunity assuming you had exposure in the past.
Stay positive. This too shall pass. And you will be covering him with kisses again soon I'm sure!

Maybe you're hosting a Wedding or Bridal Shower? Or maybe you'd like to have your friends over for a Ladies Only Valentine's Day Party? This table setting is perfect for an Elegant Winter brunch or a Ladies Luncheon.

Rustic Wine Glasses & Elegant Water Glasses
Pale Pink Hyacinth Centerpiece in Water Glass "Vase"
Planted White Hyacinth Favor in a Stone Pot tied with Twine
White Hemstitch Linens

I got the hyacinth from the grocery store and put them in simple clear drinking glasses... beautiful flowers don't need much more than that!
It is so fun to receive a gift when you go to a party... even better when you actually like it! I LOVE potted flowers. I love to have them in my home, on my porch, in my bedroom - especially sweet hyacinth that remind me that Spring is just around the corner. I planted these (I got them for $3 from the grocery store) in petite stone pots that have a chalkboard finish. I think you could mimic the pots finish easily... anyone out there that wants to do a DIY?

AT&T and T-Mobile users have been able to have their Android Market purchases billed directly to their wireless account for awhile now. Sprint is the latest US carrier to join the party, which means its Android users have one less place on the internet they have to store their credit card number:
The momentum continues and today we're excited to announce that Direct Carrier Billing is now available on Sprint. We've begun a phased roll-out of the service that will reach all users in the next few days. When complete, Android users on the Sprint network will be able to charge their Android Market purchases to their Sprint mobile bill with only a few clicks.
We believe that Direct Carrier Billing is a key payment option because it lets users purchase and pay for apps more easily. It's also important because it offers a convenient way to buy in regions where credit cards are less common.

Assay Information
Gene Information
This gene is a member of the protocadherin gamma gene cluster one of three related clusters tandemly linked on chromosome five. These gene clusters have an immunoglobulin-like organization suggesting that a novel mechanism may be involved in their regulation and expression. The gamma gene cluster includes 22 genes divided into 3 subfamilies. Subfamily A contains 12 genes subfamily B contains 7 genes and 2 pseudogenes and the more distantly related subfamily C contains 3 genes. The tandem array of 22 large variable region exons are followed by a constant region containing 3 exons shared by all genes in the cluster. Each variable region exon encodes the extracellular region which includes 6 cadherin ectodomains and a transmembrane region. The constant region exons encode the common cytoplasmic region. These neural cadherin-like cell adhesion proteins most likely play a critical role in the establishment and function of specific cell-cell connections in the brain. Alternative splicing has been described for the gamma cluster genes. [provided by RefSeq Jul 2008]

This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Screening is looking for cancer before a person has any symptoms. This can help find cancer at an early stage. When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread.
Scientists are trying to better understand which people are more likely to get certain types of cancer. They also study the things we do and the things around us to see if they cause cancer. This information helps doctors recommend who should be screened for cancer, which screening tests should be used, and how often the tests should be done.
It is important to remember that your doctor does not necessarily think you have cancer if he or she suggests a screening test. Screening tests are given when you have no cancer symptoms.
If a screening test result is abnormal, you may need to have more tests done to find out if you have cancer. These are called diagnostic tests.
Liver cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the liver.
The liver is one of the largest organs in the body. It has four lobes and fills the upper right side of the abdomen inside the rib cage. The liver has many important functions, including:
See the following PDQ summaries for more information about liver (hepatocellular) cancer:
Liver cancer is less common in the United States than in other parts of the world.
Liver cancer is uncommon in the United States, but is the fourth most common cancer in the world. In the United States, men, especially Chinese American men, have a greater risk of developing liver cancer.
Having hepatitis or cirrhosis can increase the risk of developing liver cancer.
Anything that increases the chance of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. People who think they may be at risk should discuss this with their doctor. Risk factors for liver cancer include:
Tests are used to screen for different types of cancer.
Some screening tests are used because they have been shown to be helpful both in finding cancers early and in decreasing the chance of dying from these cancers. Other tests are used because they have been shown to find cancer in some people; however, it has not been proven in clinical trials that use of these tests will decrease the risk of dying from cancer.
Scientists study screening tests to find those with the fewest risks and most benefits. Cancer screening trials also are meant to show whether early detection (finding cancer before it causes symptoms) decreases a person's chance of dying from the disease. For some types of cancer, the chance of recovery is better if the disease is found and treated at an early stage.
Clinical trials that study cancer screening methods are taking place in many parts of the country. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
There is no standard or routine screening test for liver cancer.
Although there are no standard or routine screening tests for liver cancer, the following tests are being used or studied to screen for it:
Ultrasound is a procedure in which high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) are bounced off the liver and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of the liver called a sonogram. The picture can be printed to be looked at later.
CT scan
CT scan is a procedure that makes a series of detailed pictures of the liver, taken from different angles. The pictures are made by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. A dye may be injected into a vein or swallowed to help the liver show up more clearly. This procedure is also called CAT scan or computed tomography.
Tumor markers
Tumor markers, also called biomarkers, are substances made by the tumor that may be found in the blood, other body fluids, or tissues. A high level of a specific tumor marker may mean that a certain type of cancer is present in the body.
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is the most widely used tumor marker for detecting liver cancer. However, other cancers and certain conditions, including pregnancy, hepatitis, and other types of cancer, may also increase AFP levels.
Specific tumor markers that may lead to early detection of liver cancer are being studied.
Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Screening tests have risks.
Decisions about screening tests can be difficult. Not all screening tests are helpful and most have risks. Before having any screening test, you may want to discuss the test with your doctor. It is important to know the risks of the test and whether it has been proven to reduce the risk of dying from cancer.
The risks of liver cancer screening include the following:
False-negative test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be normal even though liver cancer is present. A person who receives a false-negative test result (one that shows there is no cancer when there really is) may delay seeking medical care even if there are symptoms.
False-positive test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be abnormal even though no cancer is present. A false-positive test result (one that shows there is cancer when there really isn't) can cause anxiety and is usually followed by diagnostic tests and procedures, such as a liver biopsy, which also have risks.
Side effects may be caused by procedures to diagnose liver cancer.
Abnormal screening results may lead to a liver biopsy to diagnose liver cancer. Liver biopsy may cause the following rare, but serious, side effects:
Your doctor can advise you about your risk for liver cancer and your need for screening tests.

PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether a method of finding cancer earlier can help people to live longer. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients and those who are at risk for cancer. During screening clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new screening method and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new method is better than one currently being used, the new method may become "standard." People who are at high risk for a certain type of cancer may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).
