Blunt congratulates MU professor on National Medal of Science
Sen. Roy Blunt says MU professor's boron research shows "incredible promise."
Feb. 22, 2013
Sen. Roy Blunt, R- Mo., congratulated MU professor Dr. M. Frederick Hawthorne on Tuesday at the International Institute of Nano and Molecular Medicine in Columbia.
Hawthorne, director of I²NM² and a professor of chemistry and radiology, earned the National Medal of Science Award earlier this month. President Barack Obama presented the award to Hawthorne, the first MU professor to receive it.
"I am proud to honor these inspiring American innovators," Obama said in a White House news release. "They represent the ingenuity and imagination that has long made this nation great."
According to the release, the award recognizes those who have made "outstanding contributions" to the field of science.
Hawthorne is currently conducting research in the field of boron neutron capture therapy.
"Dr. Hawthorne has pioneered the field of boron research throughout his impressive career," Blunt said in an address to the U.S. Senate on Jan. 31. "The National Medal of Science, the highest award the country can bestow upon our scientists, is a fitting recognition of his critically important and innovative work."
According to I²NM²'s website, boron neutron capture therapy is a cell-selective binary radiation method for cancer, arthritis and evolving non-invasive surgical protocols.
Although his research focuses on colon cancer, it could be transferable to other types of cancer.
"(Hawthorn's) work has shown incredible promise in developing noninvasive treatments for cancer and other diseases," Blunt said in the address. "As a cancer survivor myself, I am especially grateful for the treatments Dr. Hawthorne is exploring to help the many people whom the disease affects."
I²NM² is using the life sciences laboratory of the Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center, including small animal facilities, to conduct its research on boron neutron capture therapy.
According to the MU Research Reactor's website, I²NM² is also using MURR, the most powerful university-based research reactor in the world, to complete the preclinical development of boron neutron capture therapy.
MURR houses the thermal neutron beam for cell and small-animal radiobiological research. The beam is an essential part of the process used in boron neutron capture therapy.
By injecting the patient with tumor-specific boron and low-energy neutrons, researchers are able to detect the difference between normal cells and cancer cells. The thermal neutron beam then hits the targeted tissue and vaporizes the molecules infected with cancer.
Hawthorne believes boron neutron capture therapy will be ready for humans after it has been successfully used on dogs and small pigs, but first, the institute requires a neutron beam energetic enough to handle large animals.
The thermal neutron beam itself costs approximately $2 million, but with additional equipment the total cost amounts to approximately $6 million.
I²NM² is in the process of seeking funding for the new thermal neutron beam.
During his presentation at I²NM², Blunt also discussed the threat of sequestration currently facing Congress. If Congress does not pass a budget, which Blunt says he does not believe it will, automatic budget cuts will take effect.
There will be $85 billion in cuts in the next 7 months and $1.2 trillion in cuts over the next 10 years.
"The right thing to do is reduce spending," Blunt said at Politico's post-State of the Union event. "The wrong way to do it is with across-the-board cuts."
Congress has until March 1 to pass a budget.

We're into presents that involve snacking, so we paired up with Justin's to share recipes that you can gift for the holidays.
During the holidays, it's customary for my parents to heap bag upon bag of local caramel corn and boxes of candy onto whomever might be near them at any given time: me, our family, party hosts, guests, neighbors. When I was younger, there was always a combination, or at least star appearances, of my favorite sweets in these packages: chocolate bark, caramel turtles, and peanut butter chocolates. (Hey, you two: I haven't gotten any in a few years. What gives?)
My parents' local candy shop in Vincennes, Indiana has been around since the 1950s, and while the corn is championed by many, I've always coveted the chocolate bark. There's just something about snapping your teeth into a chunk of chocolate that's been twirled with some concoction, willing you to second guess why you haven't tried to replicate it at home. I've been having reminiscent pangs for it lately, so I decided to try my hand at my own version to share over the holidays.
I wanted to develop a simple recipe, one that I could easily make in my small New York City kitchen without too much fuss. There are many ways to melt chocolate, but for some reason I favor the "metal bowl over boiling water" approach—it's repetitive and meditative, and I never seem to burn the chocolate that way. I chose a bittersweet chocolate for the base, because something with a little bite is a good foil for sweeter additions. While dreaming up toppings, I settled on something between a peanut butter and a caramel, a combination I always dreamed of finding in a bonbon but never did. The only other equipment you need is a whisk, a sauté pan, a rimmed baking sheet, and some parchment paper.
There are a few tricks to making this bark the best it can be (and don't you want it to be proud of itself?). First, you can melt the chocolate before you make the caramel to cut down on kitchen clutter. Once it's been transformed into a silky pool, spread it out on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about a 1/4 inch thick. Then, you can make the nut butter caramel all at once, with rapt attention, as you'll need to add it to the chocolate immediately after it's come off the stove or it will loose its viscousness. Drizzle the caramel on and leave it as a pretty top coat, à la Jackson Pollock, or swirl it in with a toothpick or a chopstick.
Stick the whole shebang in the fridge (or freezer) and let it set until hard. Keep it all for yourself (and your ice cream, and your pies) or share a few shards with friends. As for me, old habits die hard: I'll be making up batch after batch of this and gifting it left and right to my favorite people, just like my parents. And offering a hat-tip to my childhood candy shop for the inspiration.

My baby's birth has brought the biggest change in my life. When i got married i thought it to be the biggest event/ turning point in my life, but alas it wasn't. Getting married is a cosmetic change, a change of place and people you live with; but becoming a parent, esp. mother stirs your soul, changes your mental abilities and pushes you beyond your physical capabilities, it is life changing in every way.
Since the day i bacame a mother, things started happening that had never happened before.. sleep became a luxury that we couldn't afford for 3 long months> more than 90 days we were sleep deprived. I wouldn't call it the best time, but we did sail through, everybody does.
Being a mother made me highly efficient, I have never felt so efficient before in my life. I can multi-task, take shower in 2 minutes( even maggi takes longer to cook),dress up carrying him in my arms, cook multiple things or do multiple chores while carrying this little boy , some of my accomplishments being the loo visits with him on my lap or that hair cut that I got 10 months back, with him on me in the baby carrier.
In fact my career stints where i was handling multiple profiles could never neither make me this efficient,nor this content. My salary account may be stagnant or dwindling but i haven't felt so rich in life before. Parlour visits, grooming sessions don't matter at all and trust me, i may look bad but haven't felt so beautiful ever before, not even on my wedding day when i had kilos of makeup on.
Motherhood has made me a stronger person, someone who wouldn't compromise over standards of things or principles.
Motherhood has made a researcher and an analyst out of me, from baby poop to cloth diaper to baby food I have almost done P.hd on all baby related subjects. Analyst because I seem to analyse how each of my actions or words would affect my child. Funny as it may seem, I am sure you would agree that we become too cautious of our words and actions with babies being around.
As parents we don't want our kids to take on our vices or habits that we detest in ourselves, so, now is the time for transformation, bringing self-discipline and leading a healthier life; only my baby could get us to do this.
Life hasn't actually just changed for me, it has also changed drastically for daddy dear. Someone who is the life of every party, suddenly decides to switch the lights off at 10 and sleep just so that baby's routine doesn't hamper is quite shocking! There are many other changes that daddy has gone through too , let me save them for another other post, may be for "How fatherhood changed my husband".
Parenting is tough, but the little joys that each day brings makes it worthwhile.
A shout out to all wonderful mothers and fathers, together you all make this world a better and saner place.
This post is a part of the blog train- 2 started by Pooja Kawatra of Mums & Babies where she has brought together mothers from across the globe. Do read her blog post on How Motherhood has changed me and more on the blog train Here.
I want to thank Nandita of ThatImperfectMom for introducing me and I invite Anisha from Momzdiary to board the train with me and share her views on the same.
Anisha from momzdiary is a mother to a 1 year old, she likes to document her daily life with her baby, share lots of parenting hacks for new moms and review all types of Baby Products.
Parenting is the most beautiful experience and this goes for all the Moms .. Her blog will take you through lots of parenting emotions, hacks and reviews !!

After nearly 9 years of legal back-and-forth, Enzo Biochem ($ENZ) is still reaping rewards from its lawsuit against Life Technologies ($LIFE), picking up another $12.4 million in damages and bringing its total haul to more than $61 million, the company said.
The lawsuit stems from a dispute between Enzo and Applera, which later became Life, over patents tied to gene sequencing. In 2012, Enzo convinced a jury that Life's products violated its intellectual property, and, last year, a federal judge ordered Life to pay out $48.6 million in damages. The latest addition is designed to cover prejudgment interest, Enzo said, and the company is petitioning for a postinterest payout that could add a few more million dollars to its haul.
Life had no comment on the latest ruling, but the company has said it disagrees with the initial verdict and is weighing its options.
In the original suit against Applera, filed in 2004, Enzo and co-plaintiff Yale University alleged that the company stepped on their intellectual property tied to sequencing and molecular diagnostic development. In 2008, Applera merged with Invitrogen in a $6.7 billion deal, giving birth to Life.
And while Life's management inherited the legal fight from a previous company, if the proceedings drag on much further, it'll likely become someone else's problem: Thermo Fisher ($TMO) expects to close its $13.6 billion acquisition of Life in the next few months.
Enzo is working through similar lawsuits against Roche Diagnostics ($RHHBY), PerkinElmer ($PKI), LabCorp ($LH), Affymetrix ($AFFY) and others.

TACOMA, Wash. — A multinational consortium of chemical companies and investors plans a $1.8 billion plant at the Port of Tacoma that would convert natural gas to methanol. The methanol would be shipped by tanker to China where it would be used to make plastics.
The News Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1k9tlSl ) the consortium called Northwest Innovation Works will be seeking permits over the next year-and-a-half and expects the plant would take about five years to build in two phases.
The Port of Tacoma Commission is scheduled to consider a lease at its May 1 meeting for the site on the Tacoma Tideflats once occupied by the Kaiser aluminum smelter.

Eventually we all grow old and with that children are faced with the decisions about whether their parent should stay in their own homes or go into a nursing home. In general the consensus has been growing that it is far better to keep your parents in their own homes even when they start to need a lot of help. Staying in their home where they have lived their life with their own things and familiar surroundings and family can help them to thrive far more than putting them in a home. A walk-in bath and other accessibility equipment can make it easier for them to stay where they are happiest.
Because your parents can socialize with neighbors and friends, keep their pets and belongings and sleep in their own bed at night they will be happier and stay healthier far longer than they would if they ended up in a nursing home. In many ways staying in their own home is not only healthier but more affordable, even if you have to provide home nursing care for them. Perhaps one of the most important things however that you can do to help them stay in their own homes is to provide accessibility equipment such as a walk-in bath and electric chairs for stairs to keep them from hurting themselves.
Mobility is a big issue for many seniors, falls account for a large number of seniors whose health declines to the point that they end up in a nursing home, and most falls happen because the proper equipment is not installed to keep them from having an accident. A walk-in bath features a door that allows them to step into the tub without having to step over the tub wall, it also has a seat that allows the senior to sit rather than stand while bathing, whether they are taking a shower or bath.
Most mobility equipment can be covered by insurance depending on the type of supplemental insurance that your parents have, in either case a walk-in bath is far less expensive than putting your elderly parent in a nursing home. There is a number of other accessibility options you can add to your parents' home to help them stay there longer, things such as walkers, hand rails moving storage spaces in the kitchen to places where they can reach, and installing electric chairs so that they do not have to go up or down any stairs.
There is never a reason that your parent's quality of life should ever have to decline provided they have the proper equipment to make their daily tasks easier and safer for them. An in home health aide can help them with daily tasks they cannot do such as laundry and making meals and the accessibility equipment that you install will keep them independent far longer than they would be otherwise. A walk-in bath offers them their privacy and independence while at the same time keeping them safe from dangerous falls.
If you are looking for a walk-in bath take a look at what Superior Walk-in Tubs has to offer, they have some of the best walk-in tubs on the market and offer you all the accessories you will need to make your parents bath a pleasure to use.

Bad News For Nespresso, Pioneer of the Coffee Pod
With its Nespresso machines, Swiss food maker Nestlé popularized the idea of the single-serve coffee pod, but the company is now far from alone in the market. In the U.S., Keurig Green Mountain has become the dominant player, while Nestlé now estimates there are 130 competing coffee pod makers operating around the world, with at least 50 of them making pods designed to fit in Nespresso machines.
The company has responded by expanding sales of its machines in new markets and trying to keep its pods competitive. But it has also tried to make sure those who buy its machines also buy its coffee pods, and some of those techniques led to an investigation by the French competition regulator.
And today the regulator said Nespresso has agreed to change its ways, reports the WSJ's Inti Landauro:
The rivals alleged that Nespresso had set up unfair hurdles, by changing the design of its capsules and coffee machines to rule out the possibility of coffee drinkers using products from a rival.
The antitrust watchdog began an inquiry and found problematic behavior, it said. Since 2009, Nespresso has modified four times the design of either its coffee machine or capsules just before or just after a new competitor entered the market in what appeared to be a strategy to cut off potential sales to rivals.
More on this after the jump…

When your faucet spout becomes difficult to turn side to side on your kitchen faucet, it is usually due to dry seals. Faucets that have small leaks or make squeaking sounds when you operate them, sometimes only need a bit of lubrication. Lubricating single handle faucets depends on what type of faucet you own. Cartridge, ceramic disc and ball-type faucets each have their own set of rubber seals. The best way to lubricate them is with regular petroleum jelly.
Go under the sink and turn off the water supply to the faucet. There is a shut off valve for the cold and hot water. Turn each valve handle clockwise with your fingers.
Find the screw securing the single handle to the faucet. Most screws are on the back or under the curve of the handle. Others are under the decorative cap on the top of the handle. Pop the decorative cap off with a flathead screwdriver. Remove the set screw with either a hex wrench or Phillips-head screwdriver.
Pull the handle off the faucet. Turn the cap between the faucet and the handle counterclockwise with your fingers and remove it from the faucet. Some faucets have a handle adaptor on top of the cartridge. Remove the screw securing the adaptor with the Phillips-head screwdriver and pull off the adaptor.
Turn the packing nut or cam that surrounds the cartridge or ball stem counterclockwise with a pair of slip joint pliers. If you have a cartridge faucet, look for the c-clip securing the cartridge to the faucet. Remove the c-clip with a pair of needle nose pliers.
Grasp the top of the cartridge with a pair of pliers and pull it straight out of the faucet, if you have a cartridge faucet. Grab the stem of the ball and pull it straight out, if you have a ball faucet. Remove the screws securing the ceramic disc faucet, if you have the flat disc type faucet.
Grab the faucet spout by the neck with your hands. Pull straight up on the spout and remove it from the faucet body.
Dip your fingertip into a jar of petroleum jelly. Inspect the o-rings around the faucet neck where the spout surrounds. If the o-rings are cracked, replace them. Rub a light film of petroleum jelly over the o-rings with your finger.
Inspect the o-rings and rubber seals on faucet cartridges and the spring seats of ball-type faucets. Replace any seals that have cracks or damage. Lubricate each seal with a light film of petroleum jelly on your fingertip.
Place the spout over the faucet neck and press it down until the bottom of the spout neck makes contact with the base of the faucet.
Reassemble the faucet in the exact reverse order that it was disassembled. Ensure that all screws are tight before assembling the next piece to the faucet.
Lift the handle to the on position. Slowly turn on the faucet water supply at the shut-off valves below the sink. Leaving the faucet in the on position helps to dispel the air from the faucet as the water comes back on. This helps to prevent surges that could break ceramic discs or seals. Turn off the faucet handle.
Most recent
- If necessary, purchase a cartridge puller for cartridges that are difficult to remove.
- Replacement o-rings are available at hardware stores.

Osteoarthritis Management
Osteoarthritis is a condition that affects the joints and is caused by the breakdown of joint cartilage and the underlying bones.
It affects joints that are proximal to the ends of the fingers, the base of the thumb, the neck, the hips and the knees.
Causes, Signs and Symptoms
The most common areas affected by osteoarthritis are the elbows, shoulders and ankles. The exact cause of osteoarthritis is unspecified; however, joint damage can be caused by repetitive movement, wear and tear or by injury.
Moreover, mechanical traumas lead to the erosion of the cartilage, this is the part of the joint that protects the distal parts of the bones. Other factors such as aging, being overweight and genetic defects in the joint cartilage may lead to osteoarthritis.
The usual signs and symptoms include pain in the joints, swelling, tenderness in a single joint or more, stiffness following periods of inactivity like sitting or sleeping, a crunching feeling or a sound of bone rubbing another bone.
Diagnosis and Management
Doctors diagnose osteoarthritis by obtaining medical history, performing physical assessment, X-rays and blood tests. What is more they also screen the synovial fluid, the fluid in the joints.
To treat osteoarthritis, doctors usually prescribe treatments that suit the needs, lifestyle and the overall health of the patient. The treatments usually include improving joint function, keeping a healthy body weight, controlling pain and achieving a healthy lifestyle.
One of the most helpful ways in osteoarthritis management is physical activity. Moving is viewed as an important part of the treatment plan. What is more, certain studies reveal that simple physical activities like exercising or walking around the neighborhood can decrease the pain.
Strengthening exercises are also beneficial as muscle is built around the affected joints and this aids in relieving the pain. Moreover, a range of motion exercises contribute to the improvement of the flexibility and reduction of stiffness in the joints.
Weight management and weight loss programs can also help people relieve pain. Excess weight puts pressure and stress to the back, hips, knees and feet which leads to joint inflammation and damage.
To control the pain anti inflammatory medications are also available. These include analgesics such as acetaminophen, narcotics and atypical opioids.

Hello local 69ers!
Thank you to everyone who showed up to the Meet & Greet on Sunday. It was wonderful to talk with all of you and to see some new faces, older faces, and to put those faces with names! For fair warning, I am terrible with names and may very well not remembers yours when I see you again. Please do not take it personally! I'm just very forgetful when it comes to that.
For those of you who couldn't attend due to booth or other commitments, Avhi and I are both sorry you couldn't make it. Hopefully, you will be able to make it to one of the other activities we have planned this season. For your benefit, and as a recap for those where were there, this is the summary.
We will be having Weekly Wenchly Workshops at 12:30 every Sunday at NYRF in the Guild Hall next to Lundegaard. A schedule has been posted by Avhi in another thread. We have one weekend, however, that is topicless, so if you have ideas, please please please email them to us at madam69 AT saphyne DOT com and vice69 AT saphyne DOT com. If any of the topics we have planned are of great interest to you, come and learn. If the topics are something you have much knowledge of, please come and help with the teaching! These are intended to be discussions more than "lessons" We want everyone to have fun and be involved!
We will be coming up with Wench get togethers throughout the off-season. I cannot say how frequent they will be, nor where, but Avhi and I can work that out once the season is over. If the Weekly Wenchly Workshops (WWW) go over well, perhaps we will continue that over the winter on a less frequent basis. If you have ideas, let us know!
We'd like to set up a group of volunteers to be the Local 69 Welcome Wagon (name in progress). That means that you will take visiting wenches around faire site, show them where all of the important things are (like the stages, the privies, the joust field, the eateries, and, of course, Lundegaard, Fellowship Foundry and Lady Gaea Pottery). There are no requirements at this time. You do not have to spend the entire day with the visitors, just welcome them, give a brief overview of your faire site, and then send them off. We will need someone to head this group as well. Volunteers should be wenches who do not work at Faire or wenches who work only one day per weekend. More on this when details are hammered out. In the meantime, if you would like to volunteer, please send an email to Avhi and myself (at the emails listed above)
Every Saturday, muster at 12:15 by Fellowship Foundry WALKS WILL LEAVE PROMPTLY at 12:30
We went over a few of the Wench Walk Rules:
- DO NOT go into booths as a crowd. If there is a target in a booth, ONE person can go in and fetch them.
DO NOT block traffic into and out of booths with wenchings. Take the target to an open space.
DO take no for an answer. If the target says no once, you may ask them ONE MORE TIME. If they say no again, thank them in a polite and complimentary manner. (i.e. 'Tis a shame. We were so looking forward to kissing you) If the answer is "no, I have a lady", do not press him.
DO ask the woman he is with first. Even if they do not look like they are together, they still may be. Better safe than sorry here, ladies.
DO NOT kiss the man below the neck or on the lips (unless he is your SO).
DO NOT grab any part of his anatomy. You don't want guys coming up to you and grabbing your breasts, so don't grab his package (This applies all of the time, not just on wench walks)
DO wear a skirt and a head covering, even if it is only for the walk
The Wenches Guild will have a presence at the Noise Parade, thanks to Dr. Crossbones McCoy! Gather at 3:45 (I think) behind the Joust Field(I think). Someone should first go to Lundegaard and grab the guild banner. If you are feeling overly generous, you can feel free to grab the Lady Gaea or Lundegaard banners to march around with :D. The parade winds around to the Chess Board and they sing "God Save the Queen" (tune of My Country 'Tis of Thee) with made up verses. Clearly, I don't have ALL of the facts. Crossbones, would you please be so kind as to reply to this and correct me? Thank you much. NOTE: This is NOT a wench walk. No targeting. No Roll Your Leg Over. No kidding.
More recap in Part 2 (the un-fun post: rules). This is getting long.

Craft Membership Determined By The Zodiac: Ausar, Auset & The Astrology of African HistoriansDecember 20, 2010

Spirituality, Divinity & The Earthly Kingdom: The Number 13 & The Quest For Black Political EmpowermentOctober 3, 2010
The pursuit of political power and the study of the discipline of politics, despite its secular appearance is an act to restore the Godhood within people of African ancestry. By extension politics and political activity is a reflection of a people's spirituality. Spirituality in the words of the Malawian theologian Harvey Sindima, is "the organizing logic of a […]

Litecoin (LTC) creator Charlie Lee has dismissed short-term price trends as the upshot of "speculation," stressing that long-term valuation is a truer measure of crypto's success, in a CNBC interview August 27.
When asked to what extent price is a meaningful metric for a given cryptocurrency, and whether or not it reflects the current state of its network, adoption, or viability, Lee responded that:
"In the long-term, [price] tells us the success of cryptocurrencies, but short-term it doesn't really tell us much. For example this year, there's been so much adoption in Bitcoin and Litecoin, but their price has dropped 60-70 percent. It's because it's so volatile, it's all about speculation these days, but in the future the price will reflect the success of the currencies."
Lee noted that it was "hard to predict" when 2018's bear market would turn, saying that having been in…

For the past two weeks, we've discussed vintage jewelry, not only to try to define it, but also to break down the eras in which it was made. Last week, we defined eras through the nineteenth century, and this week, we'll finish up by covering the twentieth century, which is especially important, because these are the pieces you're most likely to find when you shop for jewelry at pawn shops in South Florida.
Arts and Crafts Jewelry (c. 1894-1923)
The Industrial Revolution meant mass-produced items—including jewelry flooded the market. In response, artisans introduced hand-crafted designs that were clean and simple.
Art Nouveau Jewelry (c. 1890-1915)
These pieces featured natural motifs—plants, insects, birds with Asian influence.
Edwardian Jewelry (c. 1901-1915)
After the death of Queen Victoria, designers became lavish and brought forth intricate and decorative designs featuring a host of brilliant gems.
Art Deco Jewelry (c. 1920-1935)
Africa, Japan, and Egypt promoted these new designs which featured strong lines and bright colors, often in geometric shapes and patterns. You'll see a lot of bracelets in Art Deco.
Retro Jewelry (c. 1940)
As Hollywood's influence increased, so did the American desire to emulate the stars. The showbiz glamour inspired big, colorful, bold jewelry.
You may find pieces like these at any pawn shop in Fort Lauderdale, but you also may find vintage costume jewelry, which his precisely what it sounds like: imitations of these styles. If you like them, please note that they are less expensive because they use gold plating, glass, or imitation gems. Nonetheless, many prominent designers–Weiss, Boucher, Kramer, etc.—create these vintage costume lines to satisfy customers who want the old-time styles without the hefty price tag.


text: I was recently sent a screener of CNN's upcoming broadcast of Gary and Tony Have a Baby (which airs at 8pm on Thursday). In it, Soledad O'Brien walks us through the lives of Gary Spino and Tony Brown as they attempt to conceive a child through surrogacy. Bil has already highlighted some glaring criticisms of the piece, including its continued presumption of wealth and whiteness of the gay community. While I'm usually the first one to jump on the anti-bourgeois bandwagon, I'll let Bil's critique stand on its own. I am interested in the question of ethics and surrogacy, and why I will only ever adopt if I want to start a family.

DEGTH?'s Harriet caught up with DJ Schubert, Wildlife Biologist at the Animal Welfare Institute to find out more about their important work. During the interview a fascinating story came to light…
Burkina Faso, 1984-1986, whilst serving as a US Peace Corps Volunteer.
"I did have the fortune of witnessing an elephant funeral. It was a Saturday, I remember that, and I'd gone out for a hike not knowing what I would find and off in the distance I happened to see the flap of an elephant's ear, so I worked my way over there, climbed up onto a pile of rocks and immediately I knew something was different because there were probably 100-150 elephants together in the clearing. For Burkina Faso and West Africa that was very unusual, we never saw big groups of elephants like that. There was one group of about six or seven elephants closest to this rock pile and I quickly noticed that there was a baby elephant right in the middle of this group and a large female, which I assumed was the mother, standing over this baby. She was standing over the baby and she was rocking back and forth, she would take her foot or use her trunk to try to stand the baby up, but the baby would fall down immediately and let out this wail, and the other elephants were stroking the mother's back. Some of them came and they intertwined trunks with her and would put the end of the trunk into her mouth, sort of like a kiss in some ways, and I was very intrigued by this because I'd never seen anything like this before.
I was there for an hour and a half and then the elephants had figured out I was there, I think maybe the wind had shifted and they could smell me but I didn't want to stress them, so I left and I came back a few hours later and the same thing – there was still the stroking going on there was still the intertwining of the trunks. Sadly it was now apparent the baby had died because the elephants had covered the baby with sticks and twigs and dirt and the mother was standing over the baby and rocking back and forth, so at this point I'm going "oh my goshâ€, this is an elephant funeral. There's no other way to describe it. The mother stayed all night and into the next day, standing over the baby and rocking and stroking. The next day some of the workers went out and they were able to recover the baby elephant's body and they determined that she had died as a result of an infection in her umbilical cord. It was undoubtedly the most amazing thing I saw in regards to elephants in my two years in West Africa, and again it demonstrated to me how similar elephants are to humans. Everyone's heard the stories about elephants mourning and finding old bones of other elephants and carrying them around for days, visiting places where their relatives have died, but I was able to see it up close and personal, and was able to see the compassion that the elephants had for each other. It was quite a unique experience and made it clear to me that these are just absolutely special and unique animals."
For us, this story encapsulates the emotional capabilities of the elephant in a way rarely seen or told. DO Elephants Go To Heaven? explores the consciousness and plight of the elephant from a unique perspective, calling on the experiences of safari guides and animal intuitives, to compel people to act to save elephants!

Another Monday, and another exciting Share Your World! Candles, money, memories and sleep. Just a few questions to get the week started.
When you lose electricity in a storm, do you light the candles or turn on the flashlight? How many of each do you own? I have both. Just don't ask me how many of each and I am sure the flashlights need new batteries now that I think about it. We also have a little faux fireplace that you can light a little can in. It gives off a little light.
You are given $5,000 and the chance to exchange it for one of two envelopes. One envelope contains $50,000 and one contains $500. Do you make the trade? Why or why not? I wouldn't make the trade. For the simple fact that the $5,000 could help me so much more than the $500. Now if I didn't need the money, I would trade it in. It's free money.
What's your first memory? I don't know. Much of when I was younger is a complete kaleidoscope and while they are not all bad, sadly it seems the bad ones hold the greatest impact, or they tinge the good ones with grey making them not so happy. The first one's all swirl around kindergarten, my grandparents farm, my aunt and uncle's farm and horses and sheep.
What do you do if you can't sleep at night? Do you count sheep, toss and turn, or get up and try to do something? Toss and turn? No, if I truly cannot sleep I will try reading, sometimes I fall back asleep sometimes the alarm goes off and I suffer from needing to finish the book.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? My post for Absolute Write is up. It's on Ireland, while I am not totally pleased with it I am happy that it is done. As for looking forward to things this week? My son's band concert is tomorrow and it will be fun to go listen and see how they have improved. 😀

Tampa, Fla.-The University of Bridgeport baseball team closed out the Florida portion of 2019 Spring Trip with a 6-2 loss to the Bentley University Falcons in a game played at the University of Tampa. The Falcons, who won three of four game between the two teams in the Sunshine State, pushed a across four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to snap a 2-2 tie and push on to the victory. UB is now 1-11 overall, and Bentley moves to 3-11 on the year.
Sophomores Patrick Palmer (Ansonia, Conn.) and Vincent DeRubeis (Trumbull, Conn.), each had two hits for the Purple Knights, plus senior Eamon Catherina (Ridgefield, N.J.) and freshman Cory Listing (West Sand Lake, N.Y.) each drove in a run.
Up next, the UB baseball team will head back North and open a three-game series in Delaware versus Wilmington University with a 12 noon doubleheader on Saturday.

Captain's Log: Stardate 11157.3
Last night's race began with us taking advantage of a good position and forcing the Terrorist over the line early. Now, I know the Enterprise is supposed to stand for all nations and all worlds, but that one was for America baby. I know it's been years since his "Not everybody loves this country" crack on my suggestion to add to the 2002 Sailing Instructions a request that all boats fly an American flag during racing on the anniversary of 9/11 (I called it "United We Sail",) but hey, it still kinda pisses me off.
Unfortunately, after the maneuver, we too were ever so slightly over the line -- and since the Race Committee never got the memo on never calling the EBYRA Commodore over early -- we had to do a quick loop, dip below the line and restart. Yuck. We had a lot of ground to make up and not a whole lot of water to do it in.
We rounded the first mark in last position, but thanks to a great spinnaker set on our end and a sideways set on Choucas, we did gain some great position. Now we had to do our best to gain more ground on the long downwind leg into Little Neck Bay in a dying breeze.
We had a real opportunity to do some serious gains, but our tactician called for deep downwind jibes based on the angles he was reading on his iPhone 4. For the sake of stability in the ranks of Starfleet, I won't mention his name here in the Captain's Log.
But it does rhyme with Kichard Rillay.
Earth to Tactician: You can't see wind puffs or where Chaika, Fantasy Girl, Andiamo or where Thin Man is going on your iPhone. Send me to good places. I'll worry about angles and VMG.
After several well-executed jibes and a well-orchestrated take down, we rounded the leeward mark in third and finished upwind in the same position.
We headed back in to the club pretty quickly as the crew was hungry and I was tapped to be the sole arbitrator on a hearing regarding the collision between Saudades and Bouliner last week. While waiting for the parties to arrive, we talked about William Shatner's documentary "The Captains" and how there is going to be a screening on the USS Intrepid (the aircraft carrier, not the starship) this weekend. Having already watched it this past weekend on my father's Verizon FiOS television, I must say that I enjoyed the film, but am holding a little bit of a grudge that he didn't come interview me somewhere between Kate Mulgrew and Chris Pine.
Speaking of Chris Pine, I should invite the writers of Star Trek 2 (filming begins in January) to our next EBYRA protest hearing for some amazing science fiction story telling -- especially in people's perceptions of reality while existing in apparently very different alternate universes.

Putin wins hands down over Syria and becomes king of the Middle East
We can just try to take Obama seriously when he boasts of having avoided war and having forced Assad to admit to having chemical weapons which he is beginning to destroy, to believe him when he promises that things will be implacably otherwise if he takes up the weapons again, and also that in any case Iran remains in the crosshairs, as he said yesterday. We can imagine that he did not deal with Putin when he turned and that he did not see anyone following him. But this will not help the American President appear victorious in the battle over the Middle East. The pleasure in the immediate advantage of peace will only last a few days because the rebels are furious and may seek to rekindle the smoldering embers.
Putin is the winner of the moment, and his victory is of historic proportions. This shakeup changes the cards that were dealt in 1973, at the time of the Yom Kippur war, when Syria and Egypt attacked Israel by surprise to raze it to the ground: it was then that the United States, by decision of Nixon and Kissinger, sent Israel 20 thousand tons of armored tanks, artillery and miscellaneous supplies. Thus, following the victory of Israel, left clinging to the precipice of the Mediterranean Sea by the desperate valor of its soldiers, the Arab world understood that it was best to take into account the American presence in the area, so much so that Egypt left the Soviet sphere of influence for that of the U.S.
After Obama abandoned Mubarak and lost Egypt with unforgivable lightness, Putin threw himself into a substitution game. The latest indecision of the American President opens up new spaces. Putin was already on the hunt: he felt betrayed by NATO's maneuver against Gaddafi, which he considered a contradiction in a period of economic and strategic reinforcement. Not that his economy became more reliable, with its highwayman and mafia side. But Putin decided at the time of Gaddafi's defenestration not to leave any more room for unilateral undertakings that would be unfavorable to him on the international level. He reinforced his anti-American propaganda and his personal shows of strength (with authoritarian, machista, anti-feminist, anti-homosexual, anti-press winks) including shrugging his shoulders in response to the massacres of Assad, his Middle East Gauleiter. He has allowed the Iran of the ayatollahs, an admittedly slippery maneuver to calm the relationship with Syria, which also arms and instigates against the West, and the Hezbollah, a terrorist organization that in addition to all of the innocents killed around the world also has the Syrian children on its conscience, to take advantage of the situation.
Putin pushed and pushed, at the very time that Obama understood that he did not have the support of Congress, that he was being abandoned by England and criticized by Europe and the Pope, for all the world like a Roman emperor defending his protectorate, admitting everything he had always denied or rather that Assad has the weapons and they are being handed over. If they are then loaded onto trucks and sent to Iraq or Lebanon, Putin is washing his hands of them.
It is like reading Flavius Josephus on the subject of Hadrian and Titus. Those who are dominated do and say whatever they are ordered to, under penalty of death. That is what Assad has done, proclaiming "victory" yesterday: until yesterday Putin was inciting him to resist and now to yield. The room for Putin to extend his influence is now vast: unlike Obama, Putin supports his own, regardless of what they do. Obama has left Iraq leaving a lot of room for Iran and he is leaving Afghanistan. The Israelis, Saudis, the people from the Emirates, the Jordanians and the Turks are worried by the American absence, and no one has good reasons for steering clear of Putin.
Putin's greatest conquest up to now has no doubt been the pages of the New York Times, Obama's home grounds, where Putin burst in violently, spitefully interfering with American politics all the way to its exceptionalist soul. Obama has shown him the way; the NYT has deferentially opened the door. This was unthinkable before Putin Rex's Syrian era.

BFBC2 content added to BF: Heroes
Costs an arm and a moustache.
DICE has added Battlefield: Bad Company 2 content to Battlefield Heroes, but you'll have to pay to use it.
Haggard's Heroic Set (Royal) and Kirilenko's Krafty Set (National) are expensive. For a seven-day stamina boost plus Haggard outfit you pay 1750 Battlefunds (Ł11.20). And for a seven-day stamina boost plus Kirilenko outfit you pay 1900 Battlefunds (Ł12.20).
Bundle those with a new gun (a choice of three) and the cost goes up: 2450 Battlefunds (Ł15.70) for Haggard and 2650 Battlefunds (Ł17) for Kirilenko.
And those are the "hot-deal" prices. The standard Battlefund prices for the BFBC2 content (listed with a strike-through) are 2710 (Ł17.40) / 3830 (Ł24.60) for Haggard and 2990 (Ł19.20) / 4100 (Ł26.30) for Kirilenko.
To offset this cost, all first-hand buyers of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 are offered 700 Battlefunds (Ł4.49) when redeeming their free VIP code.
Battlefield: Heroes is an online PC game funded by micro-transactions, and is closer to an MMO than to the action-packed multiplayer of Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Websites have a become a necessity for every kind of business irrespective of the size and industry, and well-thought-out designs of websites help to tell the audience the story of the business and make a connection with them instantaneously. There are several elements that work for a website and its success, however, it is essential to think about what is necessary and what is not necessary and then ask website developing services companies to create a website for the business.
1.Large typography: Every business must have its own unique typography or font that helps it to be easily identifiable in the hugely competitive market and plays a crucial role in its brand development. Custom website builders should be given clear instructions as to how you want to be perceived by the people through your typography. Whether you want your website to look serious or casual with some fun element, whether you want it to be functional or informational. The website building services professionals will take care of the typography's applicability across browsers and different devices and let you know if the one chosen by you will work or not for your website.
2.Background videos: Website developing services professionals are strongly suggesting to include background videos that automatically play as they can easily tell a story and thereby reduce a considerable amount of other content needed to explain the visitors about your business. These are really useful to create an impact on the website visitors because visuals are processed and registered by our brains much faster than content that has to be read.
3.Flat designs: Flat designs that do not give the perception of three dimensions in a website are easy to comprehend and even load quickly because they do not contain complicated elements. Being consistent throughout the website with its design elements is essential, so if you are using flat designs on your homepage, you should be using the same flat design on your product pages and other key sections.
4.Hamburger menus: Website developing services professionals suggest opting for the hamburger menu or the hidden menu because it doesn't occupy much of valuable screen space and provides some white space to make the website look clean and organized.
5.Big product images: It is the opinion of custom website builders that displaying gigantic product images on the websites will help the designers to highlight the various design features of the product in much effective way thereby creating interest among the website users.
It should be remembered by the website owners that trends change often but, those websites that are simple, clean, organized, and provide an easy-to-use user experience will always be successful in attracting visitors and getting business.

My work is supported by affiliate commissions. Last Updated Jan 17 2018
Ucraft is a block-based website builder— which means you build pages by stacking blocks vertically on top of another. Blocks are then made up of individual elements.
There are 35 pre-set blocks you can add to a page. This is not a wide selection— especially since certain blocks tend have a unique style and may not be widely applicable. Fortunately blocks are completely customizable: you can add elements, remove elements or design your own blocks from scratch. Other block-based website builders lack this customizability.
When it comes to styling blocks and elements you will want to turn on Design Mode, which unlocks a ton of customization options. In fact, you can't resize a photo or adjust the padding and margins of blocks without Design Mode turned on.
I wouldn't recommend Ucraft if you're just looking to grab a template and throw up a website. There aren't enough pre-designed blocks to ensure your website isn't too cookie cutter. Instead to get the most out of Ucraft, you'll want to build your own blocks from scratch and buy the Design Tools upgrade.
Ucraft lets you create 'Article' pages. Naming them 'Article' pages is a bit confusing because they are really blog posts (in fact they are called 'blog' in their URLs by default). Post pages aren't very pretty for readers (see screenshot) but the post editor is quite pretty. Everything you need is included: you can use Disqus for comments, save posts as drafts, set posts to publish in the future, categorize (or tag) posts and customize the slug. One thing I love: you can add a social media image (the image that will appear alongside the article when it is shared on Facebook or Twitter) which is smart and unique. Show Screenshot
Rather than build their own solution, Ucraft uses Ecwid as a 3rd party shopping cart system that you can add to your website. Ecwid is a full ecommerce platform: you can sell digital products, set taxes, shipping, weight, SKU's, integrate with Fedex, UPS and more. DudaOne and Yola use Ecwid for their ecommerce and they have same problem that Ecwid does: it never feels like a fully integrated part of your website. For example, there is no persistent shopping cart automatically put into your templates. Instead users can only check out by clicking 'Add to Cart' (this is not conventional in ecommerce websites). Show Screenshot
Full form builder. You can add a variety of fields (name, email, checkbox, dropdowns, files etc.), integrate your form with Mailchimp or Google Docs and customize the thank you message (or redirect users to a separate page). Show Screenshot
Images display sharp and crisp on retina devices.
You can create forms that integrate with Mailchimp (or Google Docs).
A membership system can be created where users can register and login— and on the admin side you can put them in groups and give them unique coupons.
You can create your own design by choosing a header, footer and setting a site-wide color scheme.
There is a Paypal donation widget (but I don't count that as a donation system).
You can embed a Soundcloud player but there is no Ucraft audio player. See the features comparison table to see which website builders do offer an audio player.
Ucraft has 63 website themes to choose from. Themes are fresh and modern— they use large photos and strong typography. All themes are mobile friendly— excellent!
Ucraft themes are just meant to get you started— from there it's up to you to make adjustments to headers, fonts etc.. You'll want to choose your theme carefully: once you enable Design Mode you won't be able to swap between themes.
There are a wide variety of customization options for themes— so long as you've enable Design Tools upgrade. You adjust the page width, distance between elements, configure button styles, install fonts, adjust navigation styles and more. One confusing thing: customization options are scattered throughout the app: some options are accessed through the Designer Tools while other options have to be accessed through the website editor.
It's very easy to cancel— just one click.
I'm the writer, designer and developer for Site Builder Report and over the last four years I've written over 100 in-depth reviews of website builders. Today over 60,000 people every month use Site Builder Report to choose a website builder.
Looking for a Ucraft alternative? I've written 35+ reviews of other website builders.

(CNN) – A poll of likely voters in Indiana showed Democratic Senate candidate Joe Donnelly with an eleven point lead over GOP rival Richard Mourdock, whose comments on rape and abortion in October drew consternation from Democrats and some Republicans.
The survey from Howey Politics and DePauw University indicated Donnelly, a three-term congressman, was at 47% among likely Indiana voters in the race for the state's U.S. Senate seat, compared to 36% who support Mourdock, the Indiana state treasurer. A Libertarian candidate, Andrew Horning, was at 6% in the poll.
- Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
- Check out the CNN Electoral Map and Calculator and game out your own strategy for November.
The Republican candidate for governor in Indiana, Rep. Mike Pence, led his Democratic opponent 47%-40%.
Indiana, which went for a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time in four decades in 2008, is considered a sure thing for GOP nominee Mitt Romney in the presidential contest. Friday's poll showed Romney leading President Barack Obama 51%-41%.
In May, Mourdock toppled longtime Indiana Republican Sen. Richard Lugar in a bitter primary contest with the support of national, state and local tea party groups.
He drew fire earlier this fall for saying during a debate that pregnancies occurring from rape are intended by God. Mourdock was explaining his opposition to abortion in cases of rape or incest when he made his remark.
"I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is a gift from God, and I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," said Mourdock. He added that he would allow for exceptions to an abortion ban when a mother's life was in danger.
Forty percent of likely Indiana voters in Friday's poll said those comments made them less likely to vote for Mourdock, compared to 6% who were more likely to vote for him and 54% who said the comments made no difference.
Mourdock later said he was sorry that people had misinterpreted his comments, but stuck by the crux of his argument that abortions should not be allowed in cases or rape or incest.
"I'm a much more humble person this morning because so many people mistook, twisted, came to misunderstand the points that I was trying to make," Mourdock said.
"I'm confident God abhors violence and rape, if they came away with any impression other than that, I truly regret it," Mourdock continued. "I apologize if they came away, and I have certainly been humbled by the fact that so many people think that that somehow was an interpretation."
Romney, who recently appeared in a television ad endorsing Mourdock, said through a campaign spokeswoman that he did not agree with the Indiana candidate but that he had not asked for a television ad he recorded for Mourdock be pulled.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Pence, the Republican running for governor of Indiana, attempted to put space between themselves and Mourdock by repudiating the remarks.
Others, such as Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, came out in support of Mourdock. Cornyn is chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
"Richard and I, along with millions of Americans – including even Joe Donnelly – believe that life is a gift from God. To try and construe his words as anything other than a restatement of that belief is irresponsible and ridiculous," Cornyn said in a written statement.
Republicans are defending ten seats in the U.S. Senate, compared to 23 that are being defended by Democrats. The GOP seat in Indiana was long considered a lock for the party. Democrats currently control the chamber 53-47.
The Howey Politics/DePauw University was conducted by telephone from 800 likely Indiana voters from October 28-30, and the sampling error was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
Republican men justify rape and say protect the unborn child. The way I see it, these Republican men are more interested in protecting the rapist and demonizaing the woman.
Chris Christie has shown something very interesting this week:
The ability to work across the aisle with the president, and showing that the President knows how to work across the aisle. Also, that it is ok for a Republican to show recognition of a great job being done by the president.
Message to ALL Moderate Republicans:
To take back the Republican party, you should vote for Obama.
The FAR Right Wing of the party has domonated the politics for the past 2 years.
The result...gridlock in Washington.
We need politicians to work together to get this country moving again.
The Ryan's, Murdock's and Atkin's out there will not move our country forward.
The Governors like Chris Christie and the President will move this country forward with bi-partisanship.
Vote for Moderation 2012!
Let's get our country moving again!
As he should be...Murdock put the nail in his political coffin when he opened his mouth...Talk about a real turn off.
I'm happy that Indiana realized how inept this candidate is. He is absolutely disgusting. Indiana, you are making your state proud.
Apparently, the Neanderthal vote is not what it once was. In Texas, South Carolina, and some other places, politicians can still suck up to the paleolithic types and win, but Indiana appears to be more evolved than that.
Excellent! Vote for Joe! I hope Donnelly wins big come November 6th!
i love the hooiser states and i love the university of indiana basketball program, that being said please hooiser don't
vote for this guy because he is not a reason person and would be good for the senate and he dispect woman
Just vote direct democratic ticket. Obama12.
"Democrats currently control the chamber 53-27."
Would that it were true, but the last time I checked, there were 100 seats in the Senate.
If this motherless creep gets elected, it confirms that the people are stark staring nuts. What a creep he is.
So I guess this means that if you are a Republican and talk about Rape, Pregnancy and Abortion ("Some girls are easy to rape", "You cannot get pregnant from Legitimate Rape", "It is God's Plan") you may as well give up on winning.
While I do not believe in Abortion, I also know that I do not have the Right to force someone else to follow my moral course. I do recognize in some cases Abortion is a medical necessity, and in other cases that someone needs to remove the stigmatized reminder of a painful violation. I just find abortion as an alternative to birth control, or if you find out the child is not the gender you want to just not be right. When my wife and I had to face the possibility that our daughter could have Downs, we decided no matter what the results of the amnio were, that we would keep our child. She was born without any medical issues, for which we were grateful.
The frightening thing is that so many GOP/Tea Party politicians and their supporters share the same Dark Ages views as Mourdock.
I am baffled that 37% of the voting population would still go for him. He would force women who are victims of a heinous crime to carry the child of their attacker! Seldom do views get more barbaric and cruel. Vote him out!
Mourdock's reprehensible comments about rape do not belong in public office, neither does Romney's endorsement of Mourdock.
I think we should all take a moment and thank the extremists in the GOP who are responsible for taking a seat that had been held by the Republicans for 40 years and tuning it blue. Thanks!!
Bye, Bye Mourdock! You can taken Akin, then you can take Mittens and Lyin Ryan with you too!
Claire McCaskill SHOULD be winning her race against Todd Aiken too
Yeah, that's it... it's everyone elses fault that they mistook what he meant. if one person doesn't get it, it's a misunderstanding. if a large group ooesn't get it, it's the messenger.

Peter Thomas Roth Acne Treatment Review
Sold exclusively through third party retailers, the Peter Thomas Roth Acne Treatment Kit claims to give you a complete package, using different elements to stop acne and clear up your skin
Will it actually be effective? We need to look at each element and all the ingredients before we can make that determination.
About Peter Thomas Roth Acne Treatment
includes a max anti-shine mattifying gel, an acne spot and area treatment, and oil free moisturizer, and an AHA/BHA acne clearing gel. They are
Peter Thomas Roth Acne Treatment Ingredients
The main ingredients found in the Peter Thomas Roth's Acne Treatment are vitamin C, vitamin E and aloe vera. These are antioxidants and soothers and have an overall positive effect on skin. Aloe vera is a strong healer in regard to burns, specifically sun burns.
This may lend a bit of aid to the healing of recent acne scaring but there is no proof that these ingredients can do anything to eliminate or manage an acne problem of any kind.
Consumer Reviews
One review we read summed up the sentiments of many:
"I used this acne treatment kit in hopes of curing a huge breakout. What I ended up using was a department store brand benzyl peroxide tube… which did the job much better than this kit."
The problem with this treatment system is that first, it does not actually provide a cleanser, and second, it does not seem to use any proven acne fighting ingredients. Its price is comparable to higher grade treatments, but its formula is not. We would not waste money on this product.
