The information in this report is preliminary and will be supplemented or corrected during the course of the investigation.
About 6:30 a.m. (local time) on Tuesday, November 1, 2016, a 2015 IC 64-passenger school bus was traveling east in the 4000 block of Frederick Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. The school bus was occupied by a 67-year-old driver and an adult teacher aide. No student passengers were on the bus at the time. After the school bus had traveled through the intersection of Frederick Avenue and Loudon Street, it struck the rear of a 2012 Ford Mustang passenger car, which was also traveling east on Frederick Avenue. The Ford Mustang then struck the south curb of Frederick Avenue and collided with a brick wall and a metal fence before coming to rest in the eastbound lane.
After striking the Ford Mustang, the school bus continued traveling east on Frederick Avenue, departed the eastbound travel lane, crossed through the center turn lane, and entered the westbound travel lane, where it collided with the left side of a 2005 New Flyer transit bus operated by the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA). The extent of the school bus's impact ran along the left side of the transit bus and terminated near its rear axle (see figure 1).

The transit bus was occupied by a 33-year-old driver and 13 passengers. As a result of the crash, the drivers of both buses and four passengers on the transit bus were killed. Seven transit bus passengers were seriously injured. Two transit bus passengers and the teacher aide on the school bus sustained minor injuries. The driver of the Ford Mustang also sustained minor injuries.
At this location Frederick Avenue was comprised of one travel lane in each direction for eastbound and westbound traffic, divided by a double yellow center line. As Frederick Avenue continued east, the double yellow center line transitioned into a center turn lane. Bike lanes were also present on either side of the travel lanes. The posted speed limit in the area was 30 mph.
Preliminary information suggests that neither bus driver was using a cell phone at the time of the crash. Both bus drivers had been driving for less than 3 hours when the crash occurred. Mechanical inspections were completed on both buses, and no mechanical defects were identified.
Surveillance cameras in the area captured images of the school bus as it traveled east on Fredrick Avenue. In addition, the transit bus was equipped with an onboard video system that captured the crash. Preliminary information from these videos indicates that the school bus was traveling approximately 57 mph just before striking the Ford Mustang. The airbag control module on the Ford Mustang recorded that it was traveling approximately 16 mph when it was struck from behind. After colliding with the Ford Mustang, the school bus continued east for more than 800 feet and was traveling about 45 mph before it struck the MTA transit bus, which was traveling about 39 mph.
The school bus was operated by AAAfordable LLC of Baltimore, Maryland, which had contracts to run seven Baltimore City school bus routes and three Howard County school bus routes; it also conducted for-hire charter services. The school bus driver had been driving for various school bus companies since 2008. He began his employment at AAAfordable in May 2014, but he had an employment hiatus there between April and August 2016; during this period, he worked for another bus company.
The school bus driver had a history of hypertension, diabetes, and seizures. In the past 5 years, he had been involved in at least 12 crashes or incidents while operating a school bus or personal vehicle. Reports from a number of these cases described seizure-like episodes. In addition, the week before the crash, paramedics were called to AAAfordable because the school bus driver was experiencing what witnesses described as a seizure. Investigators interviewed the teacher aide who was on the school bus at the time of the crash. The teacher aide recalled asking the school bus driver what had happened after the impact with the Ford Mustang, but the school bus driver did not respond. The school bus then struck the transit bus.
At the time of the crash, the school bus driver held a current medical certificate; however, it was not on file with the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). About 2 months before the crash, the MVA notified the school bus driver that, because his medical certificate was not on file, he was no longer authorized to operate a commercial motor vehicle.
All aspects of the crash, including the school bus driver's medical condition and medical certification to drive, remain under investigation by the NTSB and the Baltimore Police. The NTSB will continue to work toward determining the probable cause of the crash, with the intent of issuing recommendations to prevent similar crashes.

The Philosophy and Politics of Czech Dissidence from Patocka to Havel is a very interesting, rich discussion of the effort to apply philosophical insights to real politics, a retrospective study of that effort, and a deep meditation on the meaning of intellectual responsibility in our time. Tucker writes clearly and obviously knows his subject well. This is first-rate stuff.
Request Exam or Desk Copy. Request Review Copy
A critical study of the philosophy and political practice of the Czech dissident movement Charter 77. Aviezer Tucker examines how the political philosophy of Jan Patocka (1907-1977), founder of Charter 77, influenced the thinking and political leadership of Vaclav Havel as dissident and president.
Presents the first serious treatment of Havel as philosopher and Patocka as a political thinker. Through the Charter 77 dissident movement in Czechoslovakia, opponents of communism based their civil struggle for human rights on philosophic foundations, and members of the Charter 77 later led the Velvet Revolution. After Patocka's self-sacrifice in 1977, Vaclav Havel emerged a strong philosophical and political force, and he continued to apply Patocka's philosophy in order to understand the human condition under late communism and the meaning of dissidence. However, the political/philosophical orientation of the Charter 77 movement failed to provide President Havel with an adequate basis for comprehending and responding to the extraordinary political and economic problems of the postcommunist period.
In his discussion of Havel's presidency and the eventual corruption of the Velvet Revolution, Tucker demonstrates that the weaknesses in Charter 77 member's understanding of modernity, which did not matter while they were dissidents, seriously harmed their ability to function in a modern democratic system. Within this context, Tucker also examines Havel's recent attempt to topple the democratic but corrupt government in 1997-1998. The Philosophy and Politics of Czech Dissidence from Patocka to Havel will be of interest to students of philosophy and politics, scholars and students of Slavic studies, and historians, as well as anyone fascinated by the nature of dissidence.
The Philosophy and Politics of Czech Dissidence from Patocka to Havel is a unique and pathbreaking work. It is very well argued, incisively written, and based on extremely wide reading. The subject matter is one of the greatest importance. Moreover, the theses defended in the work are both original and persuasive. Dr. Tucker unites a sympathetic knowledge of the phenomenological tradition with a sophisticated understanding of modern politics in general and of Czechoslovak and Czech politics in particular. He has a relentlessly commonsensical attitude towards the grand political claims that are often made in the Heideggerian tradition, yet does not dismiss Heideggerian philosophy or phenomenology as meaningless. For me, one of the great revelations of reading Dr. Tucker's book was that he enabled me to see intellectual qualities in Heidegger that had previously escaped me. Being able to write on Heidegger without jargon or obscurantism is a rare feat indeed. Equally rare is Dr. Tucker's ability to straddle political philosophy, political theory, and analysis of political events.
In this remarkable and complex case study of the relations between philosophy and politics, Aviezer Tucker examines the concept of dissidence and its role in the emergence of the post-Soviet Czech Republic. The Czech experience is of prime philosophical significance and deserves to be better known. Not only have two Czech presidents, Tomas Masaryk and Vaclav Havel, been serious philosophers in their own right, but the pivotal work of the Socratic Jan Patocka animated the challenge of the Charter 77 group and gave it phenomenological grounding and rationale as 'life in truth' . . . An impressively argued work, informative and rewarding.
At least two books for the price of only one lurk within this volume's covers. There is, on the one hand, an introduction to the philosophical thought of Jan Patocka, with its roots in Husserl, Heidegger, Plato, and some of the other usual philosophical suspects. On the other hand, there is an informed analysis of the underlying thought and some of the principal political moments of the so-called Velvet Revolution and its aftermath . . . eminently useful in doing philosophy's job of understanding the world in which we live, as farcical and devoid of the Patockan spirit of sacrifice as this globalized world may now have become on both sides of the former 'Iron Curtain'.
. . . insightful, well-written, authoritative, and informative.
This is a valuable work, well worth reading.
It is rare to find a book which examines the philosophical foundations of communist-era dissident movements in any of the former Soviet-bloc countries. This book . . . is therefore a welcome addition. . . .a stimulating read even for those who do not count themselves as philosophers.
This is an important book . . . will be of interest to . . . all readers who seriously contemplate the challenge of 'living in truth' while participating in institutional politics, even at less lofty levels than the presidency.
Impressively covers many disciplines . . . Impressively far-reaching in scope . . . Tucker deserves commendation for delivering such an insightful and stimulating work.
Insightful, well-written, authoritative, and informative.
Aviezer Tucker is editor of the East European Constitutional Review at New York University. During the 1998-1999 academic year, Tucker was a Mellon postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Political Science at Columbia University. Previously he taught in the department of Politics and European Studies at Palacky University in the Czech Republic and conducted research under the auspices of the Research Support Scheme of the Prague Central Euroepan University (1992-1994). Tucker has a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Maryland, College Park (1992), and a B.A. in history (1988) from the University of Tel Aviv. He has published numerous articles on philosophy and politics in journals such as Elos, History and Theory, and The Journal of Applied Philosophy.learn more

Let me just start off by saying this post isn't going to be filled with earth shattering paradigm shifting ideas. What this blog IS going to be is stating the obvious, BUT it's going to be stating the obvious and backing it up with statistical data. I'm starting something new and I'm not sure if this is the best idea I've ever, or possible the worst idea I've ever had. Like they stopped responding to your text messages and that's how you "ended it"? Here's the punch line, here's the question: Has anyone you've ever dated, just kind of disappeared?
One of the hardest things you have to do in life is learn to let go and accept change. But the goal is still the same: First Met is about finding happiness through...
You've signed up for online dating but aren't sure how to get started. Dave liked me first and we began messaging back and forth.
Or you've put yourself out there and aren't having much luck with results. It can be uncomfortable writing about yourself but your profile is your time... We respond to and process images faster and better than anything else. This quickly progressed to texting several times a day.
Well, let me ask the ladies a question: How you have you received an... So, as I type this, and you are now reading this, I am sitting in my living room, work clothes have been removed, there's a delicious looking and heavenly smelling, California burrito next to my laptop, and Modern Family is playing in the background.
For the millions of women who are not lucky enough to encounter Mr. Right on the street or in their social circles, online dating is the go-to.
Nonetheless, online dating can be frustrating, especially for women who — more often than men — have to deal with rude messages, fake profiles, scams and more.
This guide will show you how to win at online dating so you can meet the best people, have fun and avoid compromising situations.If you want, your username can reflect a part of who you are and what you're looking for, which affects who visits your profile.People go through a sort of marketing process during online dating.In fact with every word and sentence you read, means the day of hallmark styled coerced love is closer and closer. The first thing you read in the post was a bold face lie. Well, by "illustrate" I mean slap together some stock graphics in photoshop or make crappy memes about your story. Where to begin, where to begin…is either going to be one of the smartest things I've ever written, or a couple hundred words of pure word vomit that everyone hates. I don't actually know "How to Write the Perfect First Message", and since I'm being honest, the title of this post is mostly for SEO reasons. I want to hear your horrible, awful, funny, ridiculous dating stories. I guess I'll start off by saying this blog isn't going to be as biased as you may think. When you look for a partner by hitting the pavement, there are all sorts of stressors and annoyances to deal with.

A time to heal
|November 11, 2017
|Posted by Ruth under Inspirational & motivational, Intuition, Lifestyle, Mindfulness, Science and soul, Seasonal, Training/Behavior
I'm up way too early writing this this morning. But I'm inspired and cozy as I work.
It's 330 am, and I'm curled up on the couch by the now-comforting fireplace's glow. I'm flanked by dogs on both sides, their soft, warm bodies pressed against me, as I sip coffee, reflecting on recent events. I am overwhelmed with what matters most in life: gratitude, love, community, trust & kindness.
I have my house; it didn't burn down.
Rusty, my miniature poodle friend, is curled up on my left, comfy & safe. Finn, a mini goldendoodle, sighs as he presses in even closer against my right side. Finn is visiting Rusty & I for a day – his humans have their house; it didn't burn down. Finn is dog-tired from being "Uncle Finn" yesterday to a lovely & sweet but perpetual-motion goldendoodle puppy guest, little Bella. Bella's family doesn't have their house; it burned down. But – they have each other.
It seems distant but realistically, tragically recent that the worst fire in CA history ravaged northern CA counties.
Just 10 days ago, it was announced that all the fires are 100% contained. Our community is eternally grateful to the heroic first responders' bravery & resilience in the face of an epically terrifying conflagration. We watched in horror & amazement as fire devoured entire neighborhoods, and friends & family ran for their lives. Startled awake in the middle of the night, often by angelic first responders pounding on their doors, people scrambled to evacuate hell on Earth: a blood-red glowing sky, flames lapping darkened landscape nearby, blowing embers & choking-thick black smoke. Families fled for refuge, finding safety in relief centers, friends' homes and hotels. We were all in deep fear & shock.
Those of us who didn't need to flee for our lives with just the shirts on our backs & our pets in our arms, quickly packed in case we were next to be evacuated.
The fire was incredibly intense & merciless. It was a searing challenge beyond measure, often driving firefighters to flee its unrelenting advances. The evacuations rolled out as it spread. So many of us were so scared; so many of us left our homes, not knowing if we'd find them standing when we returned. Rusty & I were lucky; friends in safe towns to the west & south of us kindly offered their homes to us. I can't tell you how comforting that was.
Personally, my bag was packed for a week.
The evacuation zones grew increasingly closer to my home, just a handful of miles to the north and east of me. The closest advisory evacuation line bordered the end of my street, just a quarter mile away. Three times I thought I needed to flee; three times I thought I'd lose my home. It was a week before I could breathe and begin to believe that Rusty & I were safe.
Now our community rebuilds – resiliently.
It's who were are: Sonoma County strong. Only a few weeks ago, evacuees were allowed to return to their devastated neighborhoods to sift thru ashes. Most of us haven't yet personally witnessed the complete annihilation of these neighborhoods – aside from images from drones, helicopters, & press photographers. When we do see the singed ghosts of once vibrant communities & beloved, historical landmarks in person, collective shock & sadness will roll through us, renewed. The charred bits I've seen so far caused me to gasp & sob in horror yet disbelief. But I know we will prevail; we must.
We are collectively still processing this ever unfolding trauma.
We might tell ourselves that life is back to "normal" as we get groceries, pay bills, take the kids to school, celebrate holidays, and make plans to rebuild. Indeed, we are not in fear for our lives now. But this experience lives in vivid memory in our minds & bodies – as trauma. It is important that we continue to lean on each other to heal, to mentally process events & move the trauma out of our bodies.
So, Sonoma County, how are you – really?
How are your pets – really?
No doubt, we've all been traumatized. Science shows that fear and stress are group-think & energetically contagious. We can all feel it in the air, humans & animals, alike. Trauma unfolds its symptoms slowly; it's not felt completely initially. So this will be a long-haul healing process. Personally, I'm very concerned about our collective well being. Our immune systems are stressed; our psyches are stressed. But I'm optimistic for our community and our group consciousness' healing capacities.
We are all now much more awake and raw.
And most of us aren't used to that experience, to those feelings. Self-aware empaths and intutives like myself keenly feel this energetic shift, the community's angst and fear thick in the air; we are uniquely called to help heal. I believe it is our purpose to help those affected by tragedy to cope, survive & thrive.
Pets, natural empaths & intuitives, feel the shift, too.
So that rawness & openness that feels new to you is familiar to your pets. Animals are experts in being present in the now, so they are better equipped to release trauma. Your pets can help you heal because it comes naturally to them. Now is the time to consciously, collectively heal, while trauma is most potentially transient if given a loving incentive to move on, before stress events take up more permanent residence in your mind & body.
Begin your healing; plug-in to community.
I mean really plug-in: Get personal. Skip the extra-excessive hours on social media. Rather, help and ask for help – in person. Traumas teach us to rely on each other because we don't have the choice not to. Stoically isolating doesn't heal; we're not islands. (Why is it so darn hard for us – myself included – to get comfy with asking for help?) So build a team to lean on. Use the resources available to you, be they medical, psychological, financial, strategic, social or spiritual. They are there, ready when you are. And you are ready. Be there for yourself – now.
Our pets plug-in, without hesitation.
If they want a cookie, they unabashedly ask for one – without shame. Bonus: In giving Fluffy that treat, we gain a positively warm & fuzzy feeling. The healing connection's a two-way flow: Fido knows when you need a cuddle. We cry; pets instinctively comfort, and we let them comfort.
Learn from your pets. Use their love lessons in your life, privately & in community.
Give and accept giving. Giving & receiving, giving & receiving – and so the cycle is meant to go. And so we are bonded as family and community, humans & animals, alike – by love. In the face of adversity, remember: Love is expanding not contracting, softening not hardening.
♥ I have an idea – a uniquely healing one! ♥
Together, let's harness the healing power of the bonds we share with our pets. I'm offering "Mutual Healing Sessions". They are designed to reduce your stress, as well as your pets'. (Stressed pets often exhibit behavioral changes, including aggression; destruction; and depression/anxiety-based behaviors.) If you're stressed, so are they. Relax yourself, relax them. And vice versa. I combine my 25+ years of experience as a science-based, positive trainer/behaviorist with my empathic and intuitive abilities to help pets and people heal via the power of the bonds they share.
So let's get together; let the healing begin.
If you & your pets feel just a bit off nowadays, it's more than understandable. Life stressors are many & cumulative: current culture, politics, tragedy, holiday hustle-bustle, life transitions, etc. Reach out, ask for help. I'm here for you. Our time together will feel like time spent with a friend. Together, we'll come up with doable, personalized behavioral/wellness plans, drawing on a variety of healing modalities (training, mirroring, mindfulness, meditation, grounding, breathing, intuition) – whatever resonates with you and your pets the most.
Stay open and awake to the healing possibilities, my friends. Let's do this together!
Sending you all woofs, wags & tons of love!

Easy's best? That's bananas.
|April 4, 2013
|Posted by Ruth under Inspirational & motivational, Lifestyle, Pup culture, Recipes, Seasonal, Soul food, Training/Behavior, Videos
It's a relaxing, rainy spring day. I'm cozied up on the couch with coffee & my little guy, Rusty.
It's also a work-at-home day, so I'm in sweats & fuzzy socks. (Not pretty, just cozy.) I'm writing about "easy" being better. So that should be a no-brainer @ this point, right? Nope, not @ all.
If I listen to that little voice in my head, I'll start believing that I'm lazy.
We all have that voice. She's the one who never cuts you any slack. I call her my little gremlin. Basically, she's a bitch. She's quick to point out this morning: "Look @ lazy you: you're not dressed, you didn't comb your hair, and your couch is your office today. In fact, Gremlin incessantly nags me to clean my actual office. Every second that I'm not doing that seemingly insurmountable task, I feel worse about myself. Why such a hater, Ms. Gremlin?
It's been an uphill battle for me to learn that easy is better.
I'm slowly beginning to ignore my gremlin. Who does she think she is, anyway? There's a nicer voice that's getting louder; she's kinder & wiser. She's my coach in this life lesson. (Before you conclude that I'm schizophrenic, Lissa Rankin calls that kind voice that we all have inside our "Inner Pilot Light".) Here's my theory: The nasty, nagging, confidence-busting voice is society. The gentler, more accurate voice is your soul. At this stage in my life, I choose to listen when my soul speaks.
We're plugged into our fast-paced society 24/7. Work is valued, not relaxation.
Society says if it's not hard work, it's not worth doing. But we're stressed & sick. So how's that really working for us? It's self sabotage. Enough of that stress, and your soul might have to scream @ you: "Stop, slow down & listen to me now. I know what's best for you." You'll know it if it happens; it's hard to ignore: frequent sighs, illness/aches & pains, burnout, panic attacks. Listen to your body (& soul) sooner rather than later. (Not sure how stressed you really are? Take this stress test.) Be true to yourself first, not society/family/friends. It's not selfish; it's healthy. What comes easy & makes you happy? Ignore your gremlin, fire up your pilot light, and just go do it! Make it a habit. Your new-found, genuine energy will infuse all that you do. You'll be happier and more successful. Your enthusiasm & inner light will shine on the people & pets around you. It's contagious & everyone benefits.
So easy is better. Easy isn't lazy. Easy is in the eye of the beholder.
Think about it: Just because something's easy for you, doesn't mean it's easy for everyone. So, if it's easy for you, maybe that means you should be doing it, instead. Maybe you're a natural @ it. Maybe it's a gift that shouldn't be ignored. Why swim upstream to do something that's soul-suckingly hard for you just because other people think you should? Because Gremlin said so? Please.
Sometimes, you have to tease out the "easy-for-you".
It's there, ready to come to the surface, but it needs the right setting to express itself. For example, I think best around flowing water. (Such a cliched Aquarian here, really.) I get clarity & ideas in the shower, on a hike by a stream, by my backyard fountain, or on a barefoot beach walk. In fact, I silenced my pesky gremlin today by taking a shower, where this post wrote itself before I turned the water off. Easy doesn't flow around that 24/7 societal din of TV, phone, computer, etc. Unplug & find your flow.
Go with the flow to find your pet's "easy", too. It enriches your time together.
If you want to teach something new to your pet, begin with something they naturally, easily, do well. For example, catch is not an instinctive game for many dogs. There are trust issues there. Why in the world would you want to keep your face (& sensitive nose) in the direct path of a flying object? I taught Rusty to catch by 1st playing his "easy" game with an "easy" object: fetch with a ball. Then, as that game flowed, I teased out his new "easy", catch, by gently tossing that ball in the air, past him – not @ him. As his confidence grew, he caught it face-on. You can tease the new "easy" out of your pet in other ways. For example, if your dog loves walks, take brief breaks during the walk to teach a few new commands. If your pet's invented a favorite game, play their game. Then build on it to teach new games. Remember: Take it easy. Less is more. End while everyone's still having fun.
Watch Rusty's easy play:
He taught us his "roll it!" game. We intersperse it with "catch!" and varied play locations. Good times.
When you embrace "easy" as worthwhile, it becomes a lifestyle.
I was baking banana bread the other day, contemplating this concept. Baking is a bit like flowing water for me: an inspirational gremlin-silencer. Suddenly, I decided to make the "easy" variation of the recipe that I've followed without fail for 10 years. It tastes better than the original! So why didn't I do that sooner? It's a process, people. But I'm getting there. So will you.
Ruth's "Easy" Banana Bread
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 mashed, ripe bananas
2 eggs
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons plain, low-fat or nonfat Greek yogurt
2/3 cup dark (70% cacao) chocolate chips
2/3 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, & level with a knife. Combine the flour, baking soda, & salt, stirring with a whisk.
Place sugar & butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add bananas, eggs, & yogurt; beat until blended. Add flour mixture; beat @ low speed just until moist. Fold in chocolate chips & walnuts. Spoon batter into an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Dig in!
~Adapted from Cooking Light~
Go with your flow. Find your "easy".
Feed your soul. (Try the banana bread.)
Fan your pilot light until its glimmer silences your gremlin. That game or walk you enjoy with your dog? That might just be your water where ideas flow. Easy comes naturally to animals. Let your pets tease the easy out of you!

STARKVILLE, Miss. — Teaira McCowan scored 24 points, grabbed 17 rebounds and blocked seven shots to lead No. 6 Mississippi State over Southeast Missouri 88-53 in Tuesday night's season opener.
McCowan, a 6-foot-7 senior who is one of the nation's best returning post players, had her first double-double of the year by early in the second quarter. She had 29 double-doubles last season, which set a Southeastern Conference record.
McCowan shot 7 of 11 from the field and made 10 of 15 free throws.
Jazzmun Holmes and Chloe Bibby both scored 11 points for the Bulldogs. Jordan Danberry added 10. The Bulldogs had a 54-26 rebounding advantage.
Southeast Missouri was led by Tesia Thompson, who scored 19 points. Taelour Pruitt added 15. The Redhawks shot just 32.1 percent (17 of 53) from the field and had 20 turnovers.
Mississippi State broke the game open with a 26-13 second quarter and took a 45-25 lead into halftime.
Southeast Missouri: The Redhawks stayed competitive for much of the first quarter, but were clearly overmatched, especially in the paint. All things considered, it wasn't a bad outing for a team that's predicted to finish fifth in the Ohio Valley Conference this season.
Mississippi State: The Bulldogs weren't very crisp, but didn't have much trouble pulling out the victory. As expected, Mississippi State is very good in the post and at point guard. The Bulldogs are still looking for more outside shooting threats beyond Bibby, who hit three out of the team's five 3-pointers.
Southeast Missouri travels to Bradley on Saturday.
Mississippi State goes on the road to face Virginia on Friday.

The Palette: Laura Geller, The Truffle Collection
Why it's great: As the name suggests, this isn't exactly one palette, it's a collection made of four mini palettes, each composed of three shadow colors. Another limited edition, this palette collection is complete with pigments to please the most dedicated coffee and chocolate aficionados.

Why it's great: This eyeshadow palette is the "overachiever" of the group. You'll open the compact to find a set of five warm-toned colors, all which are neutral shades. Somehow, BECCA has managed to find the five colors that satisfy just about every skin tone.

The best part of this palette: it's not just about the eyeshadow! The darkest color can be applied as eyeliner when using a wet brush; the third and fourth color work great as a facial bronzer; the second color makes for a fab blush; the lightest color is also an awesome highlighter.
The Palette: Sonia Kashuk, Knock Out Beauty Smoky Eye Palette
Why it's great: This palette is the perfect choice for those who are just beginning their love with eyeshadow, but don't want to make a huge investment. The Knock Out Beauty Smoky Eye Palette includes sixteen different colors, strategically placed in four rows of four colors. Each row is labeled with the guidelines "highlight," "lid," "crease," and "liner" so that you are able to perfectly craft the perfect smoky eye for day or night.
The Palette: MAC Cosmetics, Eyeshadow X9: Pastel Times Nine
Why it's great: A bit brighter than the previous few palettes, MAC gives beauty lovers a set of nine cotton-candy-colored shades, three of which are matte, three satin, and three frost. The great thing about this palette is that not only you can layer the colors atop one another for the perfect summer look, but you can also incorporate each of the colors with your stand-by fall hues at the end of the summer.

Men with category 1 diabetes could expand their hold insulin-producing cells from testicular series, says GUMC
Researchers go around hominoid testes cells into insulin-producing island cells; diabetic mice were 'vulcanized' on the side of a workweek
Men with order 1 diabetes may possibly be talented to expand their particular insulin-producing cells from their testicular chain, asseverate Community College Checkup Building (GUMC) researchers who presented their findings nowadays at the Inhabitant Fellowship of Lockup Biota 50th yearly rendezvous in City.
Their work and being burn the midnight oil is a ratification of law that defenceless spermatogonial bows cells (SSCs) extracted from testicular web buoy morph into insulin-secreting chenopodiaceae isle cells as a rule establish in the pancreas. And the researchers asseverate they expert that coup out-of-doors exercise of whatsoever of the ancillary genes second engaged in nearly labs to spin mature shoot cells into a web of election.
"No stock cells, grown up or beast, accept dated evoked to conceal adequacy insulin up till to course of treatment diabetes in world, but we be acquainted with SSCs take the hidden to do what we wish for them to do, and we skilled in how to amend their the sponge," says the cram's show the way officer, G. Ian Gallicano, Ph.D., an link senior lecturer in the Segment of Stall Biota and Principal of the Transgenic Pith Skill at GUMC.
Agreed-upon enduring improvement, Gallicano says his procedure could fix up with provision a solitary explication to intervention of individuals with order 1 diabetes (minor raid diabetes). A few original therapies get dead attempt in support of these patients, but apiece has drawbacks. Relocate isle cells from human donors container effect in dismissal, additional occasional specified donations are present. Researchers keep likewise preserved diabetes in mice use evoked pluripotent trunk (IPS) cells – matured stem-post cells that take bygone reprogrammed with added genes to conduct resembling immature stem-post cells – but that technic potty fabricate teratomas, or tumors, in transfected series, besides as counts stemming from the exterior genes second-hand to make IPS cells, Gallicano says.
As contrasted with of exploitation IPS cells, the researchers upset to a cheerfully readily obtainable start of trunk cells, the SSCs that are the beforehand precursors to spermatozoan cells. They retrieved these cells from individual weak implement donors.
Owing to SSCs already maintain the genes essential to ripen into animal stem-post cells, it is not imperative to combine some creative genes to beguile them to morph into these forefather cells, Gallicano says. "These are man's fount cells likewise as of age stock cells."
"We set up that long ago you get these cells outdoors of the testes recess, they into the possession of disorganized, and wish arrangement the sum of troika seed layers inside a handful weeks," he says. "These are faithful, pluripotent prow cells."
The enquiry band took 1 g of concatenation from hominid testes and produced close by 1 billion shoot cells in the work. These cells showed myriad of the biologic markers that brand average chenopodiaceae isle cells.
They in that case transplanted those cells into the side with of unaffected inadequate diabetic mice, and were talented to diminish glucose levels in the mice championing around a period – demonstrating the cells were producing plenty insulin to truncate hyperglycaemia.
Whereas the effectiveness lasted one workweek, Gallicano says newer inquiry has shown the submit commode be in substance augmented.

He has three degrees — a bachelor's in entomology from Penn State, a master's in entomology and plant pathology from University of Tennessee, and a doctorate in entomology from Auburn University. So, has Larry Hribar ALWAYS been interested in bugs?
"No … well, yes. I guess I was always bringing flies and butterflies into the house when I was a kid. And one memorable occasion when I tried to catch a honey bee with my bare hands," he said, laughing. His parents, second-generation immigrants from Slovenia, encouraged the interest with a tiny microscope one Christmas.
Hribar is coming up on his 20-year anniversary at the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District and said the advances in biological deterrents are the most promising. In addition to his busy work schedule, he is father to three — one high school senior, one high school sophomore and a seventh grader. He has also volunteered and been volunteered for multiple positions in the local Boy Scout and Cub Scout scene. He is, himself, a former Boy Scout.
Full name: Lawrence Joseph Francis Hribar.
For god's sake, how do you pronounce that? LOL! Only my grandparents could pronounce it correctly. It's a soft breath in the beginning (the "h") then accent the "REE" and finish with "bar" a little softer. People in the "old country" trill the r a little. (Editor's note: It's "rebar," like the construction material.)
What's your position at Florida Keys Mosquito Control District? Director of Research.
What is one daily task you perform? Data entry.
What's your favorite bug? Louse flies; parasitic flies found mostly on birds but some mammals.
What's the coolest thing about the Aedes aegypti mosquito? Aedes aegypti left Africa and spread all over the world in a few hundred years. It is an amazing story of dispersal and colonization.
Why is there a moth with your name? There isn't a moth with my name, but there is a predatory fungus gnat and a feather mite. I sent the specimens off to experts who determined they were species unknown to science and they named them after me. Most biologists never get a species named for them and I ended up with two.
What was the hardest Eagle Scout badge to earn? For me it was Emergency Preparedness.
Dream meal: you are sitting at a diner counter eating; who walks in and sits next to you? My father.
What's your best guilty pleasure? I love accordion music.
What are the top five, must-read books in your library? "The Way of a Pilgrim," Anonymous; "Atlas Shrugged," Ayn Rand; "To Serve Them All My Days," R.F. Delderfield; "The Prophet," Kahlil Gibran; and "The Foundation Trilogy," Isaac Asimov. (I know, that's seven.)
Which TV or movie character is your alter ego? Shemp Howard (One of the "Three Stooges.")
What superpower would you choose and why? Being able to fly.
How did you meet your wife? I was working at the University of Florida back in 1994. We finished teaching a course on mosquito biology and control for scientists from South America. I went in the next day to feed the mosquitoes. Everyone had gone home except for one lady from Argentina. She was there all alone and I ran into her and asked her if she wanted to go get lunch. The next thing I knew I was married with three kids.
How many languages do you speak? English is my native language and I get by in Spanish. I used to speak a little Italian and a little Arabic but I've forgotten most of them without practice.
Are you a news junkie? I used to be but nowadays it seems to be mostly opinion and very little news.
Finish these sentences …
My favorite hobby is … carving leather.
At Halloween, my job is to … pass out the candy.
My family would describe me as … odd.
I live by the motto … "Make new friends but keep the old; one is silver, the other gold."

Hero gets a new corporate identity.. also the "Passion Plus" no more in its lineup
On July 29, 2011 Hero Honda officially droppped the Honda name and now is known as "Hero Motocorp". News source: IndianExpress
"Hero Honda Motors Ltd (HHML) was today formally renamed as Hero MotoCorp Ltd. In the run-up to the unveiling of its new global brand identity, the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer received the necessary statutory approval from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) today for the changeover to the new name"
Earlier last month, the shareholders of the company had approved the changing of the name. Meanwhile.. Passion Plus removed from the company line up
Actually the "Passion Plus" model has been not available in the Showrooms for nearly a year now.. but it's only now that the "Passion Plus" model has been removed from the company's website. The products page now just shows the "Passion Pro" in its lineup.
Next in line to go should be the Splendor+ model as its upgrade the Splendor Pro has already been launched.
A New Logo will unveiled on August 9, 2011 in London.
Mr Wolff Olins, a part of the Omnicom group, had been hired to work on the new brand identity, including the brand architecture, brand name, brand logo and brand positioning. The company has also roped in Law & Kenneth (L&K) as a creative partner to launch and establish the new brand.
Apart from the new name, nothing much else seems to have changed right now.. the models are still same & it uses the same old Honda derived engines. Maybe they will change too, but it could take some time.
So say "Good bye Hero Honda" and "Namaste Hero MotoCorp".

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Newell Rubbermaid Inc. NWL, -1.57% said Thursday that it swung to reporting third-quarter net income of $71.5 million, or 26 cents a share, from a year-ago loss of $226.4 million, or 83 cents a share. Earnings from continuing operations came to $53.5 million, or 19 cents a share. Excluding impairment charges, earnings from continuing operations would have been 41 cents a share. On that basis, the Atlanta-based consumer goods company exceeded analysts' average estimate by 5 cents a share, according to Thomson First Call, but 2 cents worth of anticipated charges were not incurred, the company said. Sales for the three months ended Sept. 30 fell 1.4% to $1.6 billion from $1.62 billion in last year's third quarter. For the fourth quarter and fiscal year, Newell affirmed its outlook for earnings from continuing operations, excluding charges, of 33 to 38 cents a share and $1.43 to $1.48 a share, respectively.

Have spent the last week with Labrynthitis which sounds like a great band but is a virus in your middle ear. This means you can hardly walk let alone run so with some trepidation I climbed back onto the treadmill last night. I chose the Speed post c25k podcast. Walking was fun - all I can say is it's a good job treadmills have side bars. Then I set off at a gentle 5.5mph weaving from side to side. Funny thing is as I got into the intervals speeding up to 7mph my balance got better and I stopped weaving so much.
I think c25k must develop muscle memory as it was less about what my head was doing and more about how my arms were helping to balance my legs. Anyway the outcome was I finished the intervals and cooled down and felt great.
This morning I took Rico for a walk and ending up run/walking for 35 mins. Hopefully the labrynthitis is on its way out as I had fewer symptoms today.
Happy Running all.

Foals are my number eight track for 2013 with 'My Number'. Inhaler, the lead track from Holy Fire was in both Roy's and my lists last year and the album that followed spawned a number of singles throughout the year, of which 'My Number' was the best.
Possibly it has suffered from over-exposure, particularly as it was used as the BBC's Gladstonbury theme music, but it is a great piece of pop…
..and now over to Roy:
David Bowie – 'Love is Lost (Hello Steve Reich mix) ' Bowie's year without question. The Next Day was a real return to form but the Next Day Extra EP (more a second full album) from whence this comes, was in a different league altogether. James Murphy's remix is inspired, particularly the referencing of 'Ashes to Ashes'.

On-line sales will continue to rise. One benefit of shopping on-line is being able to rapidly search out deals for objects or services supplied by many alternative distributors (though some local search engines like google do exist to help consumers locate merchandise on the market in nearby stores).
Your alternative of net browser could well have some options that can help too, so have a verify for them'"Safari on macOS and iOS now blocks cross-website monitoring cookies by default '"and even simply firing up a personal looking window each time you want to do some on-line buying can cease some (although not all) of the commercials for that new sofa you had been occupied with following you from website to site.
Whereas this is at present a technical limitation that forestalls us from showing the proper discounted price online, your Buehler's private shopping will make any guide changes necessary when completing your order to ensure you receive all eligible discounts.

Boomerang's bots also noticed that in October, Amazon had hiked the price of some HDMI cables needed to attach the TELEVISION by about 60 percent, doubtless armed with the knowledge, Hariharan says, that on-line shoppers do not comparison shop as zealously for cheaper items as they do for expensive ones.

For those who watch it closely, or have been run over by it, the Corbyn bandwagon has always been a curious thing. An amalgamation of the old disaffected left (emerging from a long exile on the fringes of the party), old lags in the machine politics of organised labour and an influx of idealistic younger people enthused by the offer a
different settlement in the UK.
There was always a feeling that at some point the fault lines would emerge and the project come under pressure as a consequence. This conference is perhaps the first clear sign that this might unfold. Primarily that's because the reforming zeal has met the brick wall of trade union interests.
Before diving into that it's worth clocking that this in some ways the product of their own success. It's a truism
that the disparate left has an appetite for in-fighting that is unmatched. Groups regularly form, splinter, fiercely argue over things that the outsider can barely discern – even Momentum split in the past few years. But they'll stick together whenthere is an outside threat – The Labour centrists. Take that away (and the right is barely a
threat now) and they can indulge their rich tradition.
The two formidable wings of Corbyn have been Momentum and Unite. Combined they give him financial and activist muscle and have steam rollered their way to dominance in the party. However, with the short-term threat of the centrists vanquished the sights are set on locking in changes on a longer time frame. They have control, now it's about hegemony.
For Momentum this has been about dismantling party structures that empower "elites" as they'd say, and putting the membership in charge. We saw that in their belief earlier in the year that the Labour General Secretary should be an elected position – in direct conflict with Corbyn's office and Unite.
That's fine but at some point the mission would mean looking at the role of trade unions. They've lost their electoral college power for the leadership election but retain significant powers around triggering MPs reselections not to mention their NEC positions and conference delegates. Momentum, via the Democracy Review, wanted to prise their fingers off some of these levers of control and put the members truly in charge.
This conference has really been about the unions flexing and putting a stop to the fetishization of membership power. They used their influence in the NEC to water down the Review's proposals, preserving their influence, and then whipped their conference votes to ensure it passed. Meanwhile Momentum members were left in a state of naive bewilderment that their erstwhile allies in the fight to protect JC had suddenly become aligned with the establishment.
Almost immediately there has been an increase in chatter on reforming the unions or "right wing trade unionists".
It might not get anywhere but the solid wall behind Corbyn has some cracks in it. A continued absence of an external threat to the left makes it more likely that these cracks will be picked at.

Hertz DonutPosted On Monday, December 28, 2009 at at 6:52 PM by MTB Man
Today I figured I'd better do something (fitness-wise, that is) so I decided to take a 1/2 hour run after I got out of work (4pm).
The way I look at it, I've got about 1/2 hour of decent daylight right now to do something outdoors and 1/2 hour of running is probably a better workout than 1/2 hour of cycling. Although now as I write that I realize I could just up the intensity of the cycling.
Anyhow, there's less prep for me to just strap on my heart-rate monitor and run out the door (and change my shirt, and setup my gps, sigh.)
I could run longer than the daylight holds out too since I feel more comfortable running facing traffic than riding a bike with traffic in the dark (I need a new blinky-light for the bike too, my current one goes off during use).
I walked 5 minutes as a warm-up, then ran for 20 and then cooled down for another 5.
I intended to take it easy but boy after two weeks of doing nothing (my last significant sore-makin' activity was one day of skiing on the 16th) my quads are killing me!
So I'm quite pleased with today's activity. I ran for 2.25 miles in 30 minutes (includes 10min of walking) with an average heart rate of 125.
Tomorrow, I may just walk to recover. If I'm feeling this sore now, it should be a killer tomorrow. Now that I mention it, I'm starting to feel my calves too. Better do some stretching before going to bed or I may wake up with a massive charlie horse!
Now that hurts, don' it?
Here's the route I took, it's on gpsed.com:

A New PainPosted On Sunday, December 20, 2009 at at 9:07 AM by MTB Man
I've said it before, I like pain. Lest you refer me to counseling or even intervention, I must elaborate.
The kind of pain I like is that well earned pain obtained from exercise to the point of muscle failure. In this case, the pain is desirable in that it indicates athletic progress is being made. Torn muscle fibers will repair themselves and overcompensate so that they are stronger than before.
So, I like the pain for that reason, i.e. I know I'm getting stronger.
The kind of pain you don't want is injury pain, joint or cartilage damage. That indicates a problem that must be remedied.
Since I went skiing on Wednesday my hamstrings have been killing me. The left leg in particular feels like it want to cramp up although it hasn't. I've never felt this after skiing or biking before. Usually it's the quads.
I wonder if it's because of the falls I took Wednesday or perhaps doing a too challenging run before I was properly warmed up. I was really exhausted after my second run of the day and had to take a break before I could continue.
So this is a new one. But an additional reason that I like proper skiing soreness is that it reminds me of the pleasure of the activity, a "euphoric recall" if you will.
I'm looking forward to my next opportunity to generate some "pain".
Why Johnny can't ski ...Posted On Wednesday, December 16, 2009 at at 6:33 PM by MTB Man
More precisely, why is MTBMan1 a train wreck on skis the first day of the season?
I've got to find a good way to warm up on the slope within the first couple of runs.
Today was our first day of the season and we went to Windham, a friendly little hill we are fond of in the Catskill Mountains of New York, about 50 minutes away from our home.
We first went on a green trail to warm up and even there I was not feeling stable on the skis. Nothing was groomed but they were making a lot of snow so you had soft stuff piled up here and there and icy patches around too.
For the second run, we intended to do another green but got on the wrong lift by mistake and had to take a blue down. That was tough. Again soft stuff and icy patches ... unpredictable. On the plus side, I got lots of practice getting up from falls. It exhausted me and I had to take a fifteen minute break in an Adirondack chair before I could continue.
After that things improved. They kept making snow and it was windy so it got blown around and seemed to make a more even layer of packed powder over all. Sherbert snow I call it. Creamy. mmmmmm. Plus they groomed one of the green runs and it held up the rest of the day.
So I wound up having fun finally.
But here's the kicker. Mrs. MTBMan1 had no problem at all. After the third run she says "I got my ski legs back". ("Shut up!") And she's still faster than me no matter what I do. Here were my rationalizations:
1. I'm fat
2. I'm old
3. My skis are too long.
4. she has better skis.
5. I'm heavier than she is
Maybe she's just a better natural skier, hmmm?
This happens every ski day, though. I'm just terrible on the first couple of runs,i.e. NOT HAVING FUN! Of course I continue 'cause I know from experience that it will get better.
Maybe this will be the impetus I need to get back in the gym.
Anyway I've GOT to find a better way to warm up.
ColdPosted On Saturday, December 12, 2009 at at 4:43 PM by MTB Man
OK. I've got to get back with the program. Since daylight savings, I have dropped closer and closer to zero miles per week of riding. The weekend is the only time I get a ride in, if that.
I may have to get to the gym at 5:45AM. Ugh!
Today, at any rate, I did get a ride in. It was a bit on the cool side and I think I overdid it on the layers. I was sweating but cold on the skin, if that makes any sense.
I rode the Trek MTB mainly so I could wear regular hiking boots with 2 pairs of socks, my thin ski socks and then a pair of "SmartWools" over that (the Trek has regular pedals so I don't have to wear the bike shoes with cleats).
The Trek is problematic because the seat post keeps slipping down making pedaling more difficult. I got an extended length seat post for it because the frame is small for me but my LBS guy couldn't find me a post of the right diameter so we had to go with a shim. I think the metal of the shim is too slippery or something. It just won't stay extended and it really kills my quads as the post gets shorter and shorter during the ride. I've got the clamp as tight as I can get it. I may try going back to the regular post. It's shorter but at least it stays put (I think).
And let's not talk about my weight!
But on the bright side .... we're going skiing next Wednesday! :-) Maybe I'll have pics.

Just Love Me
February 10, 2014 § 9 Comments
I love Valentine's Day! I've always loved it, even when I was single because I could be a mess at the bar and people would just assume I was sad instead of an alcoholic.
Every year I send out Valentines to all my lovies (seriously I do) but the selection is always extremely limited. I never feel as if I can fully express myself with what's currently out there. So I decided to make my own.

weight loss isn't something that you must take lightly. If you want to succeed, you need to plan properly, both with effort and time. Taking the right steps will lead to weight loss and improved health. Follow the weight loss advice from this article if you have a strong desire to get fit.
French Fries
French fries are a very addictive snack to have during the day. They are the downfall of many a potential weight loser. If you must consume French fries, bake them instead of frying. Slice your potatoes about a half inch and mix them with oil, put some peooper and salt on them, try a little rosemary and bake them at 400. Use a spatula to turn it and then continue baking for ten more minutes. These fries taste great and have less fat because they aren't fried. Enjoy them with some ketchup! These great baking ideas come from Laurel's Kitchen Cookbook.
Losing one pound per week is a realistic weight loss goal. Trying to lose more than that is just too much. Losing weight quickly can be dangerous and you are likely to put that weight back on quicker.
In order for your diet to be a success, reward yourself when you exhibit good behavior. Rewards can be anything from getting a massage, taking the night off and renting a movie, or going shopping and buying something new. Buying new clothes that actually fit will help you feel better about what you are doing, and will reward all of the hard work you have done.
You can illustrate your progress very easily by taking before and after photos of yourself. You can look at how much progress you made, instead of just checking the scale to see what you've lost. If you are successful, you can show it off to friends and family.
As mentioned, people need to try, plan and make the effort to be a success. Thanks to the advice in the article, you can get rid of any extra weight that you want to shed.

BMW M4 isn't exactly a weapon you would use in a Tug of war. This guy, however, used his M4 in a tug of war against a Toyota Tacoma. Even though you might think that a four wheel drive pickup truck will win no matter what, you'd be surprised how bravely and boldly the BMW fought. After turning of electronic stability program and all other electronic stuff, BMW did its best to make a win. Tacoma won at the end, but the fight was a close call.
That was really over the top. What do you think of this next video?

Bayesian inference on quantitative genetic (animal) model in BUGS & R
There is a paper by Lars Damgaard in Journal of Animal Science showing how to fit quantitative genetic (animal) model in WinBUGS and this of course extends also to other BUGS versions. This is really great. It is based on decomposition of additive relationship matrix A=TDT'. I will try to provide functions to ease the preparation of needed data for BUGS in my R package GeneticsPed. This will ease the exploration and first stage fitting of models on small or medium datasets. As noted by Damgaard, BUGS will not serve for genetic evaluation. I wonder if one can gain in speed with using Umacs or JAGS (site seems to be down at the moment).

As '09 begins to make its own way, no longer that sorry, after-thought of a year that sits next to the scribbled out '08 in your checkbook, I thought I'd tell you good folks a bit about what's happening here at self-indulgence headquarters.
So obviously the Blog is new but I'm also proud to announce the birth of a new record, appropriately titled for this space, "Queens English". The record's basically a melancholy love letter to NYC and life in its outer-boroughs. I'm not going to lie and say it was an easy birth; two years in utero, I'm happy to report album and father are doing well. A bit of a departure from albums past but I think there's still enough in the sauce as to not disappoint those who like their MB 'old school'.
I produced, recorded and mixed a lot of the album myself although that said, I also got by with a little help from my friends; well, a good deal of help actually. Many cool folks kindly lent their time and talents to the effort and for that I'm eternally grateful. One album track of which I'm particularly proud, "Bridge & Tunnel", finds yours-truly crooning over an orchestral background and features the upright bass stylings of Norah Jones' producer/bassist, Lee Alexander. Famed engineer George Marino also lent his talents and mastered the record at Sterling Sound.
If anyone would like to join my mailing list and receive an advance mp3 from the album just drop a note to - email@example.com with "free track" in the subject heading.
Going forward, as I look for a release home for the album and prepare for the record to 'drop' as they say, I've also assembled a live band with some old friends - Cheri, Matty, John - and some new - Jay-Sherman Godfrey (Laura Cantrell) and Bob Byrne (The Sharp Things) - coming on board. Hopefully we'll be hitting the stage soon (once we get our sh*t together).
As always, thanks for your support,
Bartles & Jaymes
