Anne Hathaway Advocates for Paid Parental Leave at the United Nations
Anne Hathaway spent International Women's Day at the United Nations and used the opportunity to advocate for a global shift in parental leave policies. Instead of meager, unpaid leave for mothers and no leave at all for fathers, Hathaway argued that paid parental leave for both parents is a necessity.
Hathaway, who gave birth to her first child a year ago, got personal in the speech, explaining how motherhood made the issue of parental leave an urgent one. Upon welcoming her son, she revealed, "I remember I experienced a shift in consciousness that gave me the ability to maintain my love of career and also cherish something else, someone else, so much, much more."
She continued:
Like so many parents, I wondered how I was going to balance my work with my new role as parent, and, in that moment, I remember that the statistic for the U.S.'s policy for maternity leave flashed through my mind. American women are currently entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. American men are entitled to nothing. That information landed differently for me when one week after my son's birth, I could barely walk. That information landed differently when I was getting to know a human who was completely dependent on my husband and I for everything, when I was dependent on my husband for most things, and when we were relearning everything we thought we knew about our family and our relationship.
In addition to questions of emotional readiness, Hathaway also criticized the financial reality of a world without paid parental leave. "I remember thinking to myself: If the practical reality of pregnancy is another mouth to feed in your home and America is a country where most people are living paycheck to paycheck, how does 12 weeks of unpaid leave economically work? The truth is for too many people it doesn't," she said.
Hathaway continued on to challenge how a tradition of maternity leave has overwhelmed women while leaving men out of the family unit. She argued, "The assumption and common practice that women and girls look after the home and the family is a stubborn and very real stereotype that not only discriminates against women but limits men's participation and connection within the family and society."
Ultimately, the actress concluded that whatever good intentions may have motivated maternity leave policies in years past, "maternity leave, or any workplace policy based on gender, can—at this moment in history—only ever be a gilded cage." She ended her speech with a call to action for global reform. Watch, below.

style thanked the Russian authorities for "assistance to South
Ossetia and the maintenance of peace and stability in the country."

Georgia) on the occurrence of some units of "Republic" in the army

In his
turn, the Georgian side responded very harshly
this military cooperation.

With the shade of a single palm trunk covering my face, I closed my eyes, trying to get rid of the haunting image of my friend's body shaken by sobs. His dark feelings seemed to contrast with his beautiful suntan, and the golden ponytail lost its emblematic quality of freedom and revolt, as it pathetically bounced with his sobs, too. Once or twice, he had even let out a longer, loud lament, and I wondered what could be so painful as to make him lose his customary composure.
I knew his family was going through a very difficult period.
Confronted, Monsieur had demanded to divorce Madame, who had denied it, then flipped, and afterwards grown increasingly ill. And now she was about to retreat -- forever.
Rehearsing my excuses, I decided to jump, instead, into the heart of the matter. "How is your mother, Armand?" I asked, feeling a bit remorseful, though, since my question seemed to arrive too late.
I knew how hard it was for my friend to talk about his own feelings. I could understand it in relation to having a father that had thorough and consistently lied to the family all his life. A life of deceit and pretending, of daily falsehood and deception. How could it have impacted the De Montbelle household, and what kind of behavior could have Armand learned from his father, even if subconsciously, when the man had been lying to him all the time? I mean, maybe Mounsieur de Montbelle wasn't faking affection for his son like he was for his wife, but how to measure what was sincere and what was staged under the perspective of his lifelong deception? This in a way explained, to me, why my friend had always been reticent in the expression of his own feelings and emotions, so diplomatic and tactful. And it was my role in our friendship to be uncomfortably direct and bring out his sincerity, though at the expense of my own diffidence.
"How are you feeling about it?" I asked, jumping the Good Mornings, when he joined me at the beach. Sunbathing had been a pretext, since I was actually ashamed of going back into the house. I should but could not apologize to Armand for my callousness, without revealing the fact that I had actually seen him crying.
"Thank you for asking, Carlo." Armand sat by my side on the sand, facing the direction of a sunrise long past, while I remained laying down, looking into a sky of the utmost blue, perfectly devoid of clouds. He seemed relieved at my question, that would finally give him the opportunity to talk. Listening to him, I decided to consider it as my belated apologies for not having inquired about his mother the previous evening.
Armand stopped scooping the sand. He was silent for a while, intently shaking his hand to clean them. I waited, in the known that he had never been in good terms with his father. But now things seemed to have grown even more unpleasant. Talking about his mother, Armand had fixed his gaze on the distant horizon, but keeping his face turned towards me, so that I had the pleasure of listening to his smooth voice and seeing his beautiful profile, too. To talk about Monsieur de Montbelle, he almost turned away from me, pretending to scrutinize the floor.
"At the same time that my mother started spending more time in bed, getting worse and worse, he started spending more and more time with his other family." He said something I did not hear, and just when I stood up on my elbows did Armand turn towards me again, changing to a nasal tone to quote his father's threats. "'I'm not going to feel miserable, nor be held hostage of your mother's blackmail', my father declared, when I came to pay my last visit to them, just before leaving on my one year trip." Armand shrugged. "Surely, he pays her the best nurses and buys the latest in terms of drugs, and sedatives. But I sense he wants her to die, too. That is the final thing they agree on. Their love has long died... if it ever existed." Armand paused, stretching the arm to catch a tiny broken shell, that he observed with surprising concentration, before adding, "And when my mother, finally, could no longer leave her bed, he wouldn't leave his lover's home anymore. They never divorced, though. My mother calls this legal impediment her 'last victory'. But they are irreversibly separated, and my mother's death will finally and gracefully untie this knot." With a flick, he sent the broken shell flying back into the ocean, where it would grind until it became sand.
Armand shook his ponytail -- and there was something so astonishingly new to me in that movement, in the simple fact that he had grown his hair that long, that in a flash I understood it all. He had written his letter to me many months ago. Under different, more joyous circumstances. His invitation must have been sincere then. It was solely my fault that it had sat in my Parisian post box for so long. And even if it was not my fault that the cargo ship had been delayed, and that Armand's mother had entered the terminal phase of her illness, I knew I had to liberate my friend from his social strait jacket, that had compelled him to still invite me to join him, when his urge was to depart.
"Fratello mio, I don't want to hold you here." I was being sincere, and my voice trembled with emotion. "Please go whenever you need to go, to be by your mother. I'll leave when you leave, I'll manage to find another place..." Though, if you gave me a map I could not point where on the planet the Île du Blanchomme was, so lost was I. And afraid – I was afraid of that new step I had taken in life, that led me to foreign lands. But recalling Paris, a sense of courage invaded me. And maybe like Gauguin, hopefully I would find my Art in the tropics.
Armand cut me short, though very delicately. "Please, Carlo!" He turned his body to face me, and his expression was more somber and serious than it had been when he spoke about his parents. "Please, understand this..." He lay his hand lightly on my thigh, and it was trembling. "I am leaving. No sooner, though, than the day when there is a boat for the continent, which is within a week. And you are staying. This is your house as much as it is mine, and I need you here to keep it lively and cozy until my return. In a week you'll be all on your own," Armand smiled, since he knew me so well, "and I know you gonna love it. So I'm not troubled with leaving you behind on these tropical shores." He was absent minded patting my thigh, and it felt like a shy caress. "As for now, I wish we would... be together..." He gulped, slowing retreating his hand from my thigh, with one last caress, "Be really together... really." Finally, like I had been expecting, there was deep emotion in my friend's voice.
No need to repeat that 'really', I thought, since I wanted the same thing.
But I was wrong, and I hadn't really understood all implications in Armand's invitation.

March's feature
Summer fun: Pontoon boat diving platform.
March is the gateway to spring; I'm thinking about warmer weather!
The gist: 2x4s cued up for another project, along with an old ladder, plywood scraps, and some line, gave us this tower for our old 24' pontoon boat.
Status: Done, dismantled.
Fun while it lasted!
The Mark I was pretty straightforward.
Here I am grinning from the adjustable-height platform on the Mark II.

So, how am I doing these days? Well, I'm feeling much better,

I have slacked off with my
exercising for the last few months, which isn't good. I need to get back
into that.I've put a bit of the weight back on, which also isn't good.
I'm taking some time off over the next few weeks. It's school holidays in

Well, it's all done for now. I went back and forth on the rain effect. I drew it, erased it, drew chunks, erased pieces, put filters on and took them off, changed layer settings, and so on and so on. I finally went with a more subtle look. The shiny streets imply wetness and a few raindrops are enough to show what's going on. The whole point of this picture is to understate absolutely everything.
One of my resolutions for this year was to draw and finish at least one picture per month this year. Last year I think I finished maybe five pics. This year, by gum, I'll do twelve! All the pics! All of them!
I'm running out of February, so this pic got lots of attention. No idea what to draw for March. Maybe Sonic. Maybe a dragon. Maybe Sonic riding a dragon. 😀

The Eight Habit Of a Successful Online Entrepreneur. Be a Hunter.
The Eighth Habit Of a Successful Online Entrepreneur. Be a Hunter.
Be A Hunter.
Recently wrote an article on all if the 8 habits of a successful online entrepreneur. But here's the thing, I wanted to give you more. So I broke down each individual habit and still had a feeling that I could have said so much more. Even though I wrote an article with close to 1600 words, I feel like I could have done more. And my promise to you and myself is to always do my best to give you the best. So here we go with the last habit, Be a hunter.
8 Habits of a Successful Online Entrepreneur.
So many of these habits if not all, have had a major influence in my life. And I've been able to relate how the very same habits have been able to influence my life in good and bad ways. I am sure that if we are honest with ourselves we can see the very same similarities.
However I'm only going to focus on the good. I'm only going to use three examples as I'm sure I can go on for days with all of the things that I have hunted down in my life and achieved.
- Marriage: My mother was married three times and I promised myself that I would not do the same. In January of 2012 I celebrated 25 years of marriage to my beautiful wife. And it gets better and better every day.
- Health and fitness. As a full time martial arts instructor I was in tip top condition. That was close to 20 years ago: 17 of those 20 years I stopped working out. In 2009 my weight was close to 240 lbs. I wound up in the hospital thinking that I was having a heart attack. It was only heart burn, but that was enough, today I weigh 190 lbs and I work out almost every day. Plus I'm back at the karate school.
- Career: I stopped being a martial arts instructor and decided to become a union construction worker. The pay was much better and since I did have a family the major medical benefits that come with a union job defiantly made it a necessity. Only one drawback , "I Hated It!" Today I love what I do. I'm a full time online entrepreneur.
How did I accomplish these things? I hunted them down. Just like the Donald Trumps, Warren Buffets and Mark Zuckerbergs of the world. All successful entrepreneurs who stopped at nothing to catch their prey. So if you want to become a successful online entrepreneur I suggest that you do the same. You will have to hunt down your success to become an online entrepreneur.
No you cannot just hope, wish or wait for success to come knocking on your door looking for you, and it just not going to be enough for you to just looking for success. You will have to be ambitious, fearless and relentless and absolutely determined to become an online entrepreneur.
So here it is, nobody's saying that becoming a successful online entrepreneur is easy. But then again as we all do know that anything worthwhile never is. Nevertheless having a normal every day J.O.B. is?
Just think about it, you're breaking your back or rattling your mind for somebody else to get rich off of your efforts and hard work. You get up out of bed when they tell you, you go to sleep when they tell you, if you're lucky enough and have accumulated enough time they will let you go on a vacation for the amount of time which they dictate. Wow, the more I look at it, the more it looks live slavery to me. I'm sorry but it just doesn't sound to appealing to me, I like my freedom and I have a funny feeling that, so do you.
So now it's time to take some action, put on your hunting gear. You are the hunter and becoming a successful online entrepreneur is your prey. Go out on your safari as this will most likely be the biggest and most rewarding catch of your life.
Thank You For Reading,
The Eighth Habit Of a Successful Online Entrepreneur. Be a Hunter.

All in all, with a view to keep employable (or to start out and personal a business and prosper), people to take in new information frequently about their jobs and the relationship of their work to the local, nationwide, and international economies. They need a steady stream of good information to succeed – and to outlive – in the Information Financial system. They want it for work, for health as they turn into older, and for retirement – recreation, funds, journey, and numerous other retirement elements, including typically going back to work in a second or third career.
The Navy School never acquired again to me about my paperwork. Even if a request gets denied in the army, the requester is all the time notified. So I ended enthusiastic about faculty for a very long time and thought that I wouldn't think about it once more until I got stationed at a shore command (base). Lengthy story short, I didn't re-enlist to get stationed on shore, as a substitute I prolonged my time on the ship and finally obtained out of the navy. Nevertheless, before I obtained out, I was able to successfully complete a university course.
Send and/or e mail copies of your resume to native lock outlets, distributorships, and corporations for which you want to work. Usually, merely calling consideration to your self might land you a job out of the blue. Quite a few distributorships search the companies of locksmiths to work at their parts counters or inside their warehouses. Producers employ locksmiths as firm gross sales reps and as trainers.
I had a protracted talk with my wife as as to whether or not this fit into our overall plan. We determined that the Advanced courses would be a profit to serving to us achieve our objectives. There was another particular person who was taking a look at doing the identical thing as we have been so we went into this as companions. The price of going by means of four superior courses was going to be $15,000.00 (of which we every paid half).

|BACKGROUND: Glucose is the main source of energy for organ function in neonates. There are few published recent data on neonatal glucose levels during cesarean delivery.
METHODS: A case (cesarean delivery) -control (vaginal delivery) study was conducted at Khartoum Hospital Sudan to compare blood glucose levels of term newborns born after elective cesarean delivery with those born vaginally.
RESULTS: Cord blood glucose levels at delivery were significantly lower in women who had a cesarean delivery compared with those who delivered vaginally (99.8 +/- 20.6 vs. 106.8 +/- 11.1 mg/dl, P = 0.026), but there was no significant difference (97.8 +/- 16.7 vs. 102.1 +/- 9.6, P = 0.110) in newborn glucose levels at 2 hours after delivery between the groups. In linear regression, cesarean delivery (-6.475 mg/dl, P = 0.013) and maternal blood glucose levels at the time of delivery (+0.619 mg, P < 0.001) were significantly associated with mean cord glucose levels.
CONCLUSION: This study shows that cord blood glucose levels are significantly lower in cesarean-delivered neonates than vaginally-delivered neonates. In addition, cord blood glucose levels are significantly associated with cesarean delivery and maternal blood glucose levels at delivery.Virtual Slides: The virtual slide(s) for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/2011479878124993.

There has been a recent dramatic increase in the rate of cesarean delivery [1,2]. There are many fetal and perinatal complications of cesarean delivery e.g. obesity, allergies, metabolic disturbance, and lower blood glucose levels in the offspring [3-6].
There are few published recent data on neonatal glucose levels during cesarean delivery [6-8]. Glucose is the main source of energy for organ function in neonates. In particular, glucose is an exclusive source of energy for the function of the central nervous system in neonates [9]. The definition and management of neonatal hypoglycemia are controversial and there is no constant cut-off point for low levels of neonatal glucose [10].
A case–control study was conducted at Khartoum Hospital, Sudan during April to June 2012 to investigate glucose levels in neonates born to women who delivered by elective cesarean. Cases were women delivered by elective cesarean (before labor) and controls were consecutive vaginal deliveries. In both arms of the study, women were at term (37–41 completed weeks of gestation), newborns were ≥ 2500 g at birth, there was no history of fetal problems, and Apgar scores were 8 or higher at 1 and 5 minutes.
Newborns of mothers with any medical disorder, ante/intra-partum complications, newborns with signs suggestive of perinatal stress, and instrumental delivery, and those who required intensive resuscitation and care were excluded from both cases and controls.
Mothers who underwent cesarean delivery were fasting for at least 6 h before cesarean delivery. All vaginally-delivered infants were placed at the breast immediately after delivery. Every newborn had a venous cord blood sample obtained from the umbilical cord and another sample was taken 2 h later from a peripheral vein.
This study received ethical clearance from the Research Board of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Khartoum, Sudan.
After signing an informed consent, demographic data were collected using a pretested questionnaire. Then maternal blood glucose levels at delivery and at 2 hours after delivery, cord glucose levels at delivery and 2 hours after delivery were measured immediately after collection for whole blood glucose levels using the bedside device Accu-Chek™ Multiclix (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim Germany). Start of feeding time, sex of the newborn, neonatal weight, Apgar score, duration of labor, time of mother's fasting, time of starting feeding after delivery, and fluids during labor, were recorded and analyzed.
Data were analyzed using SPSS for windows. Means and proportions of the basic socio-demographic, clinical data and blood glucose levels were compared between women who delivered vaginally and those who had a cesarean delivery using the Student's t-test and X2 test, respectively. Linear regression was performed where blood glucose levels (cord, neonatal) were the dependent variable, and other variables (maternal and perinatal) were the independent variables. P < 0.05 was considered significant.
The two groups (55 women in each arm) were well matched in their basic characteristics (Table 1). The time of fasting was significantly longer in women who delivered by cesarean than in those who delivered vaginally (8.4 ± 1.1) vs. 3.4 ± 1.4 hours, P < 0.001, Table 1).
There were no significant differences in maternal blood glucose levels at delivery and at 2 hours after delivery in the two groups of women. However, cord blood glucose levels were significantly lower in women who delivered by cesarean than in those who delivered vaginally (99.8 ± 20.6 vs. 106.8 ± 11.1 mg/dl, P = 0.026). There was no significant difference in neonatal blood glucose levels at 2 hours after delivery between women who delivered by cesarean and those who delivered vaginally (97.8 ± 16.7 vs. 102.1 ± 9.6, P = 0.110) (Table 2 and Figures 1 and 2).
In linear regression, the factors that were significantly associated with mean cord blood glucose levels were cesarean delivery (-6.475 mg/dl, P = 0.013) and maternal glucose at the time of delivery (+0.619 mg, P < 0.001, Table 3). The factors that were significantly associated with mean newborn blood glucose levels at 2 hours after delivery were cord blood glucose (+0.954 mg, P < 0.001) and maternal glucose at 2 hours after delivery (+0.161, P = 0.004, Table 4).
A similar finding was reported by Melkie and his colleagues who found that cord blood glucose levels were significantly higher in vaginally-delivered newborns than in cesarean-delivered newborns at delivery, with no significant difference at 2 hours after delivery [7]. Recently, cord blood glucose levels were reported to be lower in cesarean delivery than in vaginal delivery [6]. However, the change in blood glucose levels over the first 2 hours of life was significantly higher in cesarean delivery vs. vaginal delivery (glucose levels alone were not different between the two groups). Additionally, cord blood glucose levels significantly affected the change in blood glucose levels over the first 2 h after delivery [6]. Similarly, a previous study showed that cord blood glucose values were significantly higher than those of newborns delivered by cesarean. These findings suggest that stress results in release of catecholamines during vaginal delivery [11,12].
The duration of fasting had no significant association with mean maternal blood glucose levels at delivery and at 2 hours following delivery. Maternal blood glucose levels at delivery were significantly associated with maternal blood glucose levels at 2 hours after delivery (+852 mg, P < 0.001).
In vaginal delivery, there was no correlation between cord blood glucose levels and newborn blood glucose levels 2 hours after delivery (r = 0.257, P = 0.056) and the duration of labor (r = 0.238, P = 0.078).
During fetal life, cord blood glucose concentrations are correlated with maternal blood glucose concentrations [13]. Fasting time and the catecholamines released during vaginal delivery are possible mechanisms for this difference in blood glucose levels [6]. Interestingly, in the current study, although maternal blood glucose levels were not different between women who delivered vaginally and those who delivered by cesarean, both cord blood glucose and newborn blood glucose levels 2 hours after delivery were associated with maternal blood glucose levels. Furthermore, in spite of a longer fasting time in women who delivered by cesarean than in those who delivered vaginally, fasting time was not significantly associated with maternal blood glucose levels. Therefore, newborn blood glucose was correlated with maternal blood glucose, which was not correlated with fasting time, which was assumed to be the more plausible explanation before [6].
In the current study, there was no correlation between blood glucose levels and the duration of labor in women who delivered vaginally. The stress of labor on the mother and newborn increases maternal and fetal catecholamines [14,15]. Catecholamine release is higher during normal vaginal delivery than during cesarean delivery [14]. This process forms an essential part of adaptation of the fetus to the extra-uterine environment [16].
In this study cord blood glucose levels are significantly lower in cesarean-delivered newborns than in vaginally-delivered newborns. In addition, cord blood glucose levels are significantly associated with cesarean delivery and maternal blood glucose levels at delivery.

Date of Defense 2016-07-22 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix are dynamic and change during biological processes such as disease progression and wound healing. Most synthetic (or man-made) tissue scaffolds have static properties. Therefore it is necessary to replate cells in order to determine the effects that different matrix mechanical properties have on cells, and virtually impossible to study the effects of a dynamically changing modulus on cell growth. There have been several scaffolds recently developed with tunable mechanical properties, but few exhibit any reversibility which is important for simulating repeated wounding and healing cycles. In this work, we develop a gelatin based hydrogel with azodianiline (ADA) as a secondary crosslinking unit. Upon irradiation with 365 nm light the gel softens as the ADA undergoes a photoisomerization. These changes can be reversed upon exposure to visible light. With applications in mechanobiology in mind, contraction at the cellular scale was measured, as well as the macroscopic changes in the shear elastic modulus and compressive modulus in response to exposure to UV and visible light.

Book Review: The Duck Song by Bryant Oden
Author: Bryant Oden Illustrations by Forrest Whaley
Publisher: Flinders Press
Pages: 31
Released: September 2010
Source: I was given this book by Flinders Press for my honest review, which is the only kind of review I am willing to give.
Summary: With the touch of a button on the cover, children will be singing The Duck Song as this musical book tells the comical story of a persistent duck that pleads for grapes at the most unlikely of places: a lemonade stand. A comical tale of persistence and compassion, adults and children alike will delight in listening to this one-of-a-kind singing book, and reading it again and again. Also included is a music CD, The Duck Song and More Fun Songs, with 12 original children's songs by Bryant Oden. Featured songs include the hits " I Got A Pea," "Honey Bear," "The Duck Song #2," and more!
If you have little ones in your life I think this would be an excellent addition to their library. I know I plan to to spread The Duck Song around this Christmas.

|Full Thesis text
The electronic properties of a device based on mixed-ionic-electronic-conductor (MIEC) between two inert metal electrodes, are investigated. The MIEC is assumed to be a p-type semiconductor with mobile acceptors. Another model is considered in which the acceptors are immobile, but electron hopping is allowed between charged and neutral acceptor sites. In addition steady state and one-dimensional geometry are assumed. In the MIEC model, the electrodes block the ionic current. The models are solved numerically. The solutions for the two models consist of the point defect distribution profile, the electric field profile and the current-voltage relations. Different electrodes, sample thicknesses, number of grain boundaries, mobilities and recombination times are considered. An analytical solution is presented in the limit of thin samples.
The motion of the acceptors is found, in some cases, to introduce only minor changes in the I-V relations. This finding may be of significance for solid state devices of reduced scale. The I-V relations of samples much thicker than the equilibrium Debye length reduce to the ones obtained assuming local neutrality throughout the sample. The analytic approximation in the limit of thin samples, suggests that the effects of ionic motion are negligible in this limit. This implies that for very thin samples dopants need not be limited only to those which exhibit low diffusion constants. It is found that the introduction of grain boundaries affects significantly the defect concentration for thick samples and has some effect on in the I-V relations, but it is found that the I-V relations are dictated mainly by the boundary conditions. When considering the hopping model instead of the MIEC model, a similar behavior is observed under most conditions (similar I-V relations and behavior of the space charge).
We conclude with a set of preliminary experimental results. Here cuprous oxide film is thermally grown from a copper foil under different oxidation temperatures. Different oxide thicknesses are produced. Observing the thickness change with time during oxidation yields the chemical diffusion constant of copper through the oxide Cu2O layer. Then, the current-voltage relations of the film are measured using different voltage scan rates. In some cases the I-V relations show a dependence on the scan rate, this implies that ionic motion occurred.

Discipline: Art
An artistic movement, the name for which originated in exhibitions called 'Nove Tendencje' held at the Gal. Suvremene Umjetnosti in Zagreb from 1961 and subsequent similar exhibitions in Europe and South America.
Common to all the strains of the movement was an affiliation with kinetic art and programmed art, for which pure visuality and the depersonalization were foremost principles.

Just 18 hours after their loss to Las Positas, the Mariners faced Lassen College with only five healthy players. The five brave Mariners did their best to keep up with their opponents of Lassen, but fatigue eventually overcame desire, as Marin fell 68-48 on Friday.
Lassen, with energy and numbers, out hustled Marin from the outset, pushing a 21-13 first quarter advantage to a 38-26 halftime score. The Mariners made a small run to start the third quarter, but Lassen responded with a 20 point quarter and a 20 point lead heading into the fourth quarter. A slower paced fourth decreased the scoring, but the not Lassen advantage. Marin finished out the game with a strong few possessions, however it was not enough to prevent a 68-48 final score.
All five Mariners played 40 minutes of basketball and widely avoided foul trouble. J'Mia McKinney did pickup three fouls in the first quarter but managed to avoid any additonal fouls in the game. She led the team in scoring with 15 points and chipped in three rebounds, two assists and three steals. Tori Buckley had a double double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Daniella Cerruti had 12 free throw attempts making seven. She had nine total points, eight rebounds and seven steals as well contributing excellent defense throughout the game.
The Mariners host Shasta College on Wednesday, November 16th at 4pm.

Location: Foreign Animal Disease Research
Project Number: 8064-32000-061-20-I
Project Type: Interagency Reimbursable Agreement
Start Date: Jun 18, 2014
End Date: Mar 31, 2019
This collaborative research project seeks to demonstrate the manner in which Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) emerges to initiate outbreaks in Vietnam; specifically by focusing on the role of asymptomatic FMDV carrier buffalo and cattle. Specific objectives include: 1. Continuation of analysis of samples collected under research agreement 58-1940-0-070F "Molecular Epidemiology, Surveillance and Predictive Tools for FMD Control in Vietnam." 2. Conduct field sampling from carrier cattle and buffalo to test applicability as routine manner of FMDV surveillance in Vietnam. 3. Survey and analyze FMDV associated with outbreaks in Vietnam. 4. Conduct capacity building for Department of Animal Health (DAH) staff in virus sequencing and antigen matching. 5. Sequence viruses collected through surveillance program for phylogenetic analysis. 6. Collect slaughterhouse samples to evaluate utility as routine manner of FMDV surveillance in Vietnam.
1. Samples, inclusive of probang and tissue specimens from carrier buffalo and cattle, which have been collected and sent to ARS, PIADC, will be analyzed using rRT-PCR and virus isolation. Sequence analysis will be conducted to determine the phylogenetic relationships between outbreak FMDVs and those viruses that persist asymptomatically in cattle. Histological and immunohistochemical examination of tissues from FMDV-persistently infected buffalo will be conducted. Techniques will be developed for deep sequencing of FMDV for quasispecies analysis. 2. Geographic regions will be identified by Department of Animal Health (DAH) (Vietnam) collaborators. FMD-nonstructural protein (FMD-NSP) serosurveys will be conducted to identify high-probability herds for finding cariers. Serial probang samples will be conducted inclusive of screening probangs for FMDV and viral RNA (vRNA). Samples found positive will be sent to ARS, PIADC for further analysis. 3. Samples, inclusive of sera, vesicle epithelium and probang, will be collected from naturally occurring outbreak zones throughout Vietnam. These viruses will be isolated and undergo phylogenetic analysis. 4. DAH staff will be trained in antigen matching techniques and RNA sequencing. Cross-laboratory harmonization validation activities will also be conducted. ARS, PIADC staff will travel to Vietnam to provide follow-on necropsy training and laboratory skills. Monthly meetings and quarterly reports will strengthen capacity building efforts. 5. Probang samples found to contain FMDV RNA by DAH will be sequenced by ARS, PIADC and DAH. Data generated will provide geographic and temporal data, case history and animal demographics to determine quasispecies dynamics. 6. To determine FMDV persistence, probangs and tissue samples will be obtained from animals at Vietnamese slaughterhouses. These samples will be used as a surveillance tool for sequence analysis.

Johann van Graan says Munster to see less of Ireland stars this season
Munster head coach Johann van Graan pictured at a squad training session at UL this week
HEAD coach Johann van Graan has revealed that he expects Munster to see less of their first choice Ireland internationals this season.
The Irish stars are set to play less games for Munster this season in the lead-up to next year's Rugby World Cup in Japan.
Van Graan said Ireland would be placing a significant emphasis on player management in the season ahead.
Last season, frontline Ireland internationals Conor Murray and Peter O'Mahony started a total of 15 games for Munster, including all eight Champions Cup fixtures and seven outings in the Pro 14.
CJ Stander made 16 starts for the province last term, including the eight Champions Cup fixtures.
Johann van Graan said: "It's also a World Cup year, so player management from Ireland will be pretty important.
"All credit to Joe (Schmidt) and David (Nucifora) and all of the Irish staff, we've been through all of that. Obviously Ireland's important and Munster's important too, so that communication has been brilliant.
"It's a World Cup year. I think the good thing is that it's the same for all four provinces. You know, they've got an extra Test match in November, they've got a 6 Nations and they've got a preparation for the World Cup at the end of the season, so I think the management will be key and the planning from our side will be key.
"Like I said before, the communication has been very good and we know what to plan for and hopefully injuries will be kind to us through the year and we've got to produce form our side as well."

Fans of the primetime TV show The Middle were delighted to see that high school senior Sue, played by Eden Sher, finally got her braces off at the start of Season 6. But since this popular sitcom wouldn't be complete without some slapstick comedy, this happy event is not without its trials and tribulations: The episode ends with Sue's whole family diving into a dumpster in search of the teen's lost retainer. Sue finds it in the garbage and immediately pops it in her mouth. But wait — it doesn't fit, it's not even hers!
If you think this scenario is far-fetched, guess again. OK, maybe the part about Sue not washing the retainer upon reclaiming it was just a gag (literally and figuratively), but lost retainers are all too common. Unfortunately, they're also expensive to replace — so they need to be handled with care. What's the best way to do that? Retainers should be brushed daily with a soft toothbrush and liquid soap (dish soap works well), and then placed immediately back in your mouth or into the case that came with the retainer. When you are eating a meal at a restaurant, do not wrap your retainer in a napkin and leave it on the table — this is a great way to lose it! Instead, take the case with you, and keep the retainer in it while you're eating. When you get home, brush your teeth and then put the retainer back in your mouth.
If you do lose your retainer though, let us know right away. Retention is the last step of your orthodontic treatment, and it's extremely important. You've worked hard to get a beautiful smile, and no one wants to see that effort wasted. Yet if you neglect to wear your retainer as instructed, your teeth are likely to shift out of position. Why does this happen?
As you've seen firsthand, teeth aren't rigidly fixed in the jaw — they can be moved in response to light and continuous force. That's what orthodontic appliances do: apply the right amount of force in a carefully controlled manner. But there are other forces at work on your teeth that can move them in less predictable ways. For example, normal biting and chewing can, over time, cause your teeth to shift position. To get teeth to stay where they've been moved orthodontically, new bone needs to form around them and anchor them where they are. That will happen over time, but only if they are held in place with a retainer. That's why it is so important to wear yours as directed — and notify us immediately if it gets lost.
And if ever you do have to dig your retainer out of a dumpster… be sure to wash it before putting in in your mouth!
If you would like more information on retainers, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more in the Dear Doctor magazine articles "The Importance of Orthodontic Retainers" and "Why Orthodontic Retainers?"
Brushing and flossing are foundational to good oral health and an essential part of daily life. Practicing both these habits removes most disease-causing bacterial plaque from tooth and gum surfaces.
It doesn't take much to manually perform them — a quality soft-bristle toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste and string floss. But what if you have a physical impairment that makes performing these tasks difficult to perform — or your mouth condition requires a little more "power" to adequately access and clean surfaces?
You do have power options for both brushing and flossing. Electric toothbrushes, of course, have been available since the 1950s. As with other technology, they've improved in quality and affordability over the last few decades. They're available in various sizes, rechargeable or battery, and each with their own claims of cleaning ability.
The ultimate question, though, is: are they as effective at removing plaque as manual brushing? That's been the subject of a number of comprehensive studies, including one conducted by the Cochrane Collaboration, a research organization. They evaluated a number of powered toothbrushes over various lengths of time. They concluded that some powered toothbrushes with a rotation-oscillation action had a statistically significant (though modest) reduction in plaque compared with manual toothbrushes.
As to flossing, admittedly it does take some dexterity to accomplish effectively. Traditional string flossing is also difficult if not impossible for people with braces or similar access restrictions to the teeth. An oral irrigator (or water flosser) is a viable alternative. Water flossers work by pulsating water at high pressure through special tips at the end of a handheld or countertop device. The pressurized stream penetrates between teeth and below the gums to flush away plaque.
Are water flossers effective? According to one recent study orthodontic patients were able to remove up to five times the plaque between teeth as those who used only a manual toothbrush.
When considering alternatives to your manual toothbrush or string floss, speak with us first. We'll be happy to guide you toward the best form of brushing and flossing to do the most good in your situation.
If you would like more information on oral hygiene options, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.

FLINT, Mich. — By the sunken standards of life in Flint, Kenneth Glover is lucky.
Last month, a construction crew arrived at his house, removed the aging, corroded lead waterline leading up to it and installed a new copper pipe in its place. His house became one of fewer than 200 in Flint to have received a new pipe through a city-run program, with thousands more on the waiting list.
That matters not a whit to Mr. Glover. He still will not drink the water.
"I don't even give it to my dog," said Mr. Glover, who works in a General Motors plant, as he stood outside his home last week. "I don't care how many filters they give us. I don't care what they say. How can I trust them again?"
It has been one year since officials in Flint urged city residents not to drink the water.
Since then — as an investigation continues into the failed response at the city, state and federal levels — the authorities have pointed to progress in repairing the city's lead-tainted water system: Water from the Flint River is no longer used in favor of the city's former source, the Detroit system, which gets water from Lake Huron.
