In my efforts to fight my cancer naturally I have run across quite a lot of belief systems that aren't necessarily based on science. I don't want to call it quackery because, in my opinion, quackery is dismissive and insulting to those people who have passed on links and articles in an effort to help. Finally, I am taking B17 which has often been called quackery and, in my opinion, unjustly. In my travels on the web I have constantly heard a few clichés over and over. Some of them are that I should toke up (smoke pot), everyone has cancer, cancer is acidic, I should eat cottage cheese and more. One of these cancer paradigms is that cancer is anaerobic (does not like oxygen). Now, I know that some of these ideas have merit but I have a question about the last. Why? Because, top cancer specialists are using something called Antiangiogenesis to fight cancer. So, if cancer is anaerobic why use antiangiogenesis to fight cancer?
What Is Antiangiogenesis?
Most of our cells make tiny little capillaries designed to feed themselves. This process is called angiogenesis. Now, if the process is going normally then you will see normal cell growth. When it goes wrong then cell growth is abnormal and disease can result. If too many of these capillaries are made then the cell is basically being overfed and, often, you will see runaway cell growth. If it is too slow and not enough capillaries are made then, often, the cell will die or, again disease will manifest.
It seems that some cancers have a unique quality that makes them vulnerable to certain forms of treatment. Most cancers seem to overproduce these capillaries and, if you can switch off these triggers that cause these capillaries to form, then the cells die. The good news is that a number of these drugs have been created and, in some cases, are very successful. The better news is that there are even some foods that will shut off these triggers. Here's a TED Talk by a top cancer researcher who is working in this area.
TED Talk
If Cancer Is Anaerobic Why Use Antiangiogenesis
Just search the web for something like "cancer and oxygen" or "cancer is anaerobic" and you will be swamped with articles, videos and discussion groups that all say the same thing. Cancer is anaerobic. If cancer is anaerobic why use antiangiogenesis food and drugs to fight it. My instincts tell me that cancer is NOT anaerobic and so does my common sense. If cancer is anaerobic then it would not die when oxygen rich capillaries are prevented from growing. The cancer would not starve if cancer was anaerobic and you denied it oxygen. It might be the denial of nutrients that causes this "starvation" but here's a quote from "The Oncologist".
To grow beyond a diameter of approximately 1 mm, newly developing tumors must form their own vascular network and blood supply, which they accomplish either by incorporating preexisting host vessels or by forming new microvessels through the influence of tumor angiogenesis factors. However, the newly formed vascular network differs greatly from that found in normal tissue, typically displaying a broad range of structural and functional abnormalities, including dilations, incomplete or absent endothelial linings and basement membranes, leakiness, irregular and tortuous architecture, arteriovenous shunts, blind ends, and a lack of contractile wall components and pharmacological/physiological receptors. These abnormalities lead to irregular and sluggish blood flow, thereby diminishing the delivery of O2 (and nutrients) to the tumor cells, with the resultant development of hypoxic or even anoxic areas. The oxygenation status of the tumor can be worsened further by increases in diffusion distances, which occur when the tumor cells spread beyond the distance that allows adequate delivery of O2 by the blood vessels (>70 μm). Additionally, diminished tumor oxygenation and subsequent hypoxia can be induced or exacerbated by a reduced O2 transport capacity of the blood due to the presence of cancer-related or cancer treatment-induced anemia. Read More
Is Cancer Anaerobic?
So, it seems that there are some contradictions in what is typically said about cancer being anaerobic and what some leading cancer specialists are saying about antiangiogenesis being used to fight cancer. It seems to me that at a bare minimum not all cancers are anaerobic and maybe none are. It seems that the idea of starving cancer is a new and effective way to kill some cancers. I think it cannot hurt to start eating some of the foods recommended to fight cancer.
The Warburg Effect
There are some additional ideas that may also play into the "starving cancer" idea. It is called the Warburg Effect. In 1931 Oto Warburg was given the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. His work included an investigation of the metabolism of cancer cells.
Otto Warburg observed that cancer cells' metabolism is different than the one of normal adult cells. Normal adult cells use a small energy plant located inside them to produce most of their energy needs from oxygen, this is an aerobic process. In contrast, cancer cells rely mainly on the first part of the energy production process dependant on glucose (sugar), this is an anaerobic process. The anaerobic process is called glycolysis. Read More
So, Antiangiogenesis Treatments seem to have merit and, in my opinion, it doesn't matter if we are starving the cancer of oxygen or glucose or both. It seems to me that both oxygen and glucose are needed by the cancer cell. Antiangiogenesis seems promising to me.
What Foods Have Antiangiogenic Properties?
Green Tea, Red Grapes, Strawberries, Red Wine, Blackberries, Bok Choy, Raspberries, Kale, Blueberries, Soy Beans, Oranges, Ginseng, Grapefruit, Maitake Mushrooms, Lemons, Licorice, Apples, Tumeric, Pineapple, Nutmeg, Cherries, Artichokes, Lavender, Pumpkin, Sea Cucumber, Tuna, Parsley, Garlic, Tomato, Olive Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Dark Chocolate
Well, after reading these food items I know what I'll be eating…..DARK CHOCOLATE! 🙂 It seems that a number of these foods have antiangiogenic properties BUT I don't know exactly which is most potent. So, my strategy is going to be to focus on foods that I am already using to fight cancer like garlic. You can see a list of foods that I'm using to fight cancer here.
Also, if you watch the video, you will notice that he talks about using extracts from strawberries and other foods. So, that means he is probably doing most of these experiments IN VITRO. In vitro means "in the glass". In other words, test tubes or something outside the body. In Vivo means inside a living thing which is totally different considering the digestion process. If you would like to read more about this then you can read this post where I review the whole process. I think it's worth a look. 🙂 Well…..I will be adding these food items to my list of cancer fighting foods under a special section for antiangiogenic foods.
Will this work on my carcinoid tumors? Who knows but hey it's only food. In the interim I will be researching this more. If you have anything to add please feel free. 🙂

Campervan – best way to get around ScotlandPosted on: December 4, 2014
Campervan hire in Scotland
When exploring Scotland, one of the best ways to get around this beautiful and magical land is by hiring a campervan. No more need to book expensive hotel rooms when you can have your very own home away from home on wheels. Our vehicles will give you the best of both worlds, you will have the freedom to move around the countryside, and at night you will have the comfort of luxury accommodations without the need of renting a hotel room.
Which campervan?
There are several different Campervan Hire models to choose from including; the very large Carthago which sleeps up to 5 people, the Globecar which can accommodate 3, the VW Camper suited for 2 adults and 2 children, and the Lunar Camper which has the same capacity of the VW. These four well suited campervans will keep your family happy and safe while traveling around Scotland.
The freedom of the open road awaits you when you travel in this fashion.
Just imagine your entire family visiting some of the most famous castles and historic sites while traveling in a luxurious campervan. Instead of traveling the back roads in a cramped car, you will be able to move around inside your cozy accommodation. When you stop for the night, you simply park your campervan in a safe place and enjoy a fine evening under the stars. There is nothing like this truly amazing experience.
So if you are planning on traveling around Scotland in the near future, why not rent one of these comfortable and luxurious campervans? Whether you have a large family of five or it's just the two of you, why not make some memories this year in your very own Campervan Hire? It is also a good idea to book early because during the peak season these vans will be hired out quickly.
Roseisle offer Luxury Campervan & Motorhome Hire in Edinburgh, Scotland. Why not get in touch and use our 5* service. Call us or email us! We look forward to talking to you!

Is the album format relevant anymore?
Just received the following email from Reuben Halsey, creator of the "Into the Light" radio show with regards to album's and if they should be replaced by shorter EP size releases. At the end of the post, let us know your thoughts.
Dear Listeners,
I've been working on a new album for a while now and recently I have begun to question whether or not the album format is relevant and worthwhile anymore. Last year The Prodigy mentioned in an interview with NME that they were planning to stop making full length albums altogether. In their view, making an album is such a long process – it means going away for as long as 5 years to record and produce a large collection of tracks, leaving fans without new music to enjoy during that time.
Times have changed and the world is much more fast paced now. People want things instantly or they get distracted and move onto other interests. Maybe going away for a few years to write an album is an old style of working that no longer applies today and it needs an update. Perhaps it's better to instead release 4-5 track EPs on a more regular basis and drop the whole album idea completely. That way fans have new music to listen to more often, without the huge waits. It would keep things fresh and more current. I also think it might be better for the artist. Sometimes when we've been working on one project for a long time we get tired of it. The end can seem so far away that it's daunting. With bite sized EPs the end is in sight and we can get excited about the creative process as well as get the music out there and move onto the next project.
I would love to hear from you about this. Does the album experience still matter and is it worth waiting for? Or is it better to have new music coming at you more often? If I told you that finishing my current album might take another year (or more) but that that if I split it up into smaller EPs I could have a release out this summer what would you prefer?

4 Things Energy-Efficient Windows Can do for Your Home
LizzieWeakley posted a blog entry in Lizzie Weakley's Green BlogThere are lots of perks to installing more energy efficient windows in your home. Some of the benefits provide more of a cost incentive than others. Here are just a few of the reasons that having more energy efficient windows will be good for your home. Lower Heating and Cooling Bills One of the best benefits that you can receive from a monetary standpoint from new windows is that your heating and cooling bills can be lower. New windows tend to be more energy efficient. This means that you'll most likely notice less drafts around your house. Older windows often allowed air to enter and exit your home freely. This meant that it was costing you more to maintain the temperature in your home. Maintained Home Comfort Newer windows are better at warding off temperature fluctuations in your home. What this means for you is that you can more easily maintain a consistent temperature throughout your home. A comfortable home is more of a luxury when it comes to the costs associated with installing more energy efficient windows. Look into using a company like Edelen Door and Window to help you through the process. Decreased Sound Pollution You may be surprised to learn that energy efficient windows can also make your home quieter. This is because they're better sealed and tend to be better at dampening the sound. That means that not only does less sound enter your home, but less sounds will leave your home as well. You don't have to worry about the neighbors complaining about your loud movie night with the family. Protected Home Finishes One of the new features on energy efficient windows is that they provide better shielding from solar radiation. You can even add an extra layer of shielding to reduce solar radiation from entering your home. It's the solar radiation that can cause your flooring to become discolored over time. This is even more apparent if you have wood flooring in your home. Areas that are protected from the sun tend to be lighter in color than those that are exposed to the sun. There are of course the better known reasons that installing energy efficient windows is the right choice for your home. Consider some of these lesser known perks if you're torn about whether to spend the money on new windows right now. Your home is an investment, but you should also enjoy living in your home for years to come.
Commerical HVAC: Why You Need to Optimize Your System Before Summer
LizzieWeakley posted a blog entry in Lizzie Weakley's Green BlogDuring the warm summer season, your business may heavily rely on your commercial HVAC system for climate control. Summer months are known for high humidity levels and intense temperatures, and both of these issues can combine together to create an unbearable indoor environment unless you have cool air from your HVAC system streaming into your space. Now is the ideal time to set up maintenance service for your commercial cooling system by reaching out to a reputable HVAC service provider. By doing so, you can enjoy several important benefits throughout the summer and beyond. Save Money on Energy Costs Preventive HVAC maintenance is designed to clean the system's components as well as to replace damaged or deteriorating components. Both dirty and damaged components can make your system operate less efficiently. Some aspects of the system may overcompensate to make up for damaged or dirty components resulting in the system running for longer periods of time or turning on more frequently than it otherwise would need to. This ultimately means that your system will use more energy throughout the summer months than it otherwise would need to. You can save money on energy bills by setting up preventive maintenance service. Improve System Longevity The last thing you want is to pay for an expensive HVAC replacement service before it is absolutely necessary. These systems can cost thousands of dollars or more to replace, and you understandably want to maximize the life of your HVAC unit. Companies like Ragan Mechanical Inc. can perform annual system maintenance on your HVAC unit. This can help your system to function more efficiently to decrease wear and tear. Keep Repair Issues at Bay Through unnecessary wear and tear on your system's components, you can keep repair issues at bay. HVAC system repair issues can result in expensive repair services. They can also lead to downtime that can interfere with the operation of your business, and this can be costly to endure. Preventive maintenance can identify developing repair issues before they cause a complete system malfunction. Furthermore, because preventive service decreases wear and tear, fewer new repair issues may develop. Given the importance of your commercial HVAC system, it is imperative that you ensure that it is in great working order before you turn it on for the first time this summer. You can easily schedule preventive maintenance service for your system today, and you can take advantage of these fabulous benefits all summer long.

Gardening: Germinating plant and flower seeds for the summer
An unheralded benefit to an interest in gardening is that there is always something to keep your mind and body engaged.
Yes, there really is more to gardening than summer in-the-dirt days and fall harvest days.
I have spent the past six weeks testing germination rates of old flower seeds. For those who have never tried this, it is a simple process of placing a control measure of seeds between folded moist paper towels on a plate, covering with plastic wrap and monitoring the moisture daily. Be sure to label the plate.
My seed box was overflowing with packets dating back to 2008, and I am too conservative to just toss the packets. Out of the 16 tested varieties, I have only thrown out two. Now, I am ready to start testing some of the outdated vegetable seeds.
Garden peas are the cool season crop that is tempting me. I do have a 2018 packet of Oregon sugar snow peas in the file box. I won't be testing those as the standard viability of pea seeds is three years. The variety, Oregon Sugar Pod 11, was developed by Dr. James Baggett at Oregon State University. Baggett is also well-known for his development of tomato varieties that do well in the Central Oregon climate.
Soil germination temperatures for direct seeding of peas range from 40 degrees to 75 degrees. The soil in my unheated greenhouse has reached 60 degrees, and its is ready to see some action. I will need to make sure the soil is moist before I plant a short row.
That means I will be hauling water from the house, as the irrigation isn't functioning yet. That is good exercise and a small price to pay for a snack of fresh, crunchy garden peas. If you have a cold-frame greenhouse you might be surprised that the soil temperature is warm enough to try some plantings.
Although the variety is touted as a bush pea, reviews from gardeners who have grown this variety agree that trellis growing would be best.
The term legume inoculants came up in an extended conversation with friends. Some were familiar with the term, others were not. It came to mind that if you don't know what it is, how can you know the value?
I kind of, sort of, knew what the product was and what it did. I knew it helped produce those white nodules along the roots of peas and beans. That is hardly a convincing explanation. I decided it would be more prudent to defer to research papers from various university extension services.
Legumes are pod-bearing plants such as peas and beans. Peas are regular nitrogen factories with the ability to pull nitrogen from the air and fix it into nodules on their roots, (those white nodules) which provide an important nutrient for their growth plus enriching the soil for the future.
For this magic to happen, certain beneficial soil bacteria must be present. Although I have been conscientious of enriching the soil over the years by adding composts, I can't rely on the past to guarantee future production.
A legume inoculant
Inoculation is the process of introducing commercially prepared rhizobia bacteria into the soil. Each legume species require a specific species of rhizobia to form modules and fix nitrogen.
The packet of inoculant I have is labeled as a Pea and Bean Booster. Rhizobium leguminosarum, listed on the packet, is a particular species that is capable of forming the nodules on peas and beans.
Inoculants contain living rhizobial cells that limit the packaged viability. The packets are marked with an expiration date, usually one year. The packet I purchased treats a 40-foot row. Since I plan on doing successive plantings of short rows, I will need to store the unused packet out of the direct sun and at a temperature below 60 degrees.
Directions for application will be listed on the packet. Depending on the brand, it will either be used dry or made into a slurry.
All of a sudden we will be lamenting — so much to do, so little time.

Hello friends! Ok, it has been forever since I have given an update & so much has been happening! I thought that I would provide a little picture diary since pictures are so much more fun to look at than reading pages and pages. Here are some bits and pieces!
First off, in August I went to Missouri to meet up with 2 close friends from college. We had such a great time! I am lucky to have such amazing friends in my life. My sister and dad stepped up to the plate to help with Mama Jules. Everything went great while I was away!
Thanks girls for a great weekend!!
Next up, Jenna and Ross got a new puppy named Jackson! He is a bundle of fun & energy. He is also super cute!!!
Thank you for bringing new-found fun to our lives Jackson!
A few weeks ago my friend Susan was in town. She has been living in Chile for a couple of years now…so it is always great to see her when she is in the states. I have known Susan since I was four years old!
2 weeks ago my mom and I got our haircut from my cousin Lindsay. This isn't a new experience for us…but I captured a cute pic this time!
Lindsay works at the Beauty Room in Minneapolis & does a great job! Check her out!
The next day we met my friend Renee at MOA to do some walking and window shopping with her little boy Nolan. He is such a cutie! I have known Renee since the day I was born. I used to watch her roll over with envy 🙂
The next day we went to my cousin Lindsay's house to meet her new baby Ike. My aunt and uncle were there too….so we had a little impromptu outdoor party!
A couple of weeks ago my mom and I headed over to my brother's house to take the boys to the park. We don't head over to his house very often because we cannot get the wheelchair inside & he lives about a half hour away. With his crazy work schedule, we were able to find time for a little visit. The boys are growing up so fast & they are both very sweet. I am a proud auntie!
And that brings us to Labor Day weekend. My mom and I enjoyed the weather and went on two very long walks. My dad finished re-painting the deck and back of house. My mom and I just hung out. It was pretty un-eventful. We did take my Grandpa to Houlihan's on Labor day & had a lot of laughs. We are quite a comical group between the five of us.
And that is about it for now! We are gearing up for fall around here & hope to have another fantastic winter like last year. Fingers crossed!
Also, please refer to the next post if you would like to join our team for the ALS walk! It is September 22nd this year & we always have a great time! Thank you to those that have signed up to join us. And thank you also for the generous donations!! We are looking forward to another wonderful walk!

Where Cargo Ships Go To Die
Where Cargo Ships Go To Die
Muynak is a city in northern Karakalpakstan in western Uzbekistan. Home to only a few thousand residents at most, Muynak's population has been declining precipitously since the 1980s due to the recession of the Aral Sea.
Once a bustling fishing community, Muynak is now a shadow of its former self, dozens of miles from the rapidly receding shoreline of the Aral Sea. Fishing had always been part of the economy of the region, and Muynak became a center of industrial fishing and canning. A regional agricultural monoculture dominated by cotton production which diverts water from tributary rivers of the sea into irrigation, and severe pollution caused by agricultural chemical runoff, are causing the sea to evaporate and the water that remains is highly saline and very toxic, causing the ecological disaster which is inevitably destroying the sea and killing the residents of the towns in its vicinity, including Muynak.
Muynak is now home to a incongruous armada of rusting hulks that once made up the proud fishing fleet during the Soviet era. Poisonous dust storms kicked up by strong winds across the dried and polluted seabed give rise to a multitude of chronic and acute illnesses among the few residents, weather unmoderated by the sea now buffets the town with hotter-than-normal summers and colder-than-normal winters.
The Aral Sea was once the world's fourth-largest saline body of water, it has been steadily shrinking since the 1960s, after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet Union irrigation projects. By 2004, the sea had shrunk to 25% of its original surface area, and a nearly fivefold increase in salinity had killed most of its natural flora and fauna. By 2007 it had declined to 10% of its original size, splitting into three separate lakes, two of which are too salty to support fish. The once prosperous fishing industry has been virtually destroyed, and former fishing towns along the original shores have become ship graveyards.

If you don't score 67 points, try for the Canadian Experience Class2010-05-06
If you can not score 67 points – the minimum score required – for the Federal skilled worker program, you do have other options for permanent immigration to Canada.
The Canadian Experience Class requires 24 months of full-time work experience in Canada (there is also a post-graduation scheme that I'll address in another blog).
You work experience in Canada must have been performed legally with a valid work permit, and the work must fall within the duties described in NOC 0, A or B (click here for the NOC link).
Applicants must also meet various minimum language requirements depending on their whether their occupation falls within NOC 0, A or B.
The best part? This is a pass/fail category. In other words, there are no minimum points to achieve. You either meet the requirements and pass or you don't. Important factors in the Federal skilled worker program such as education and work history outside Canada are not considered in the Canadian Experience Class category.
So sharpen that resume and start applying to Canadian employers who are willing sponsor you for a position in Canada. If you live in the US or Mexico, you may be able to take advantage of NAFTA, discussed in various other blog postings on this site.

ANAHEIM (CNS) — A 44-year-old man is accused of attempted murder after dragging an Orange County sheriff's deputy with his car about 100 feet Tuesday evening.
Dennis Wayne Ross of Garden Grove was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, assault and battery on a peace officer, and resisting arrest.
He was also charged with having outstanding warrants for DUI, possession of methamphetamine and violation of a domestic violence court order, according to sheriff's Lt. Jeff Hallock.
The incident began when an unidentified deputy made a routine traffic stop around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. The deputy called for backup.
When additional deputies arrived, a female deputy tried to open Wayne's driver's side door and he took off, dragging the deputy about 100 feet, Hallock said.
The suspect stopped and the deputy was able to turn off the ignition, he said.

The Twins suffered yet another disappointing loss at the hands of those accursed ChiSox today (I don't know about you, but they are REALLY starting to get on my nerves about right now). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch any of the game and therefore don't really feel qualified to write anything intelligent about it. Plus, I'm incredibly sleep-deprived... lots going on here at St. Olaf!
In lieu of a new post today, I'm going to reprint (for your reading pleasure) a season predictions article I wrote for our school newspaper last week. It's not the most in-depth piece every, but if you just so happened to be curious about who I'm picking for the playoffs this year, well, here you go! If you're interested in who some other Twins bloggers are picking, click here.
Consider yourselves forewarned: even though I didn't pick the Twins to win it all, I still fervently hope that they do! :)
"Predicting October... In April"
By Ryan Maus
One of the most enjoyable things about the game of baseball is that it lends itself to prognostication extremely well. Each new season brings with it a flurry of predictions found in every sports page, magazine, radio show and weblog around the country. As a self-professed baseball junkie, I am always asked, "Who's your pick for the World Series this year?" I usually put off answering such questions, knowing that any predictions I give will almost assuredly look like pure folly six months from when they're made.
Despite this, baseball season just wouldn't be complete without the requisite attempt at prognostication. Without further ado, I present my playoff picks for the 2005 major league baseball season:
American League East: Before the Toronto Blue Jays' surprising crash to last place in 2004, the order of finish in this division had remained unchanged for six consecutive seasons: New York, Boston, Toronto, Baltimore and Tampa Bay. Unless you are the Yankees or the Red Sox, the most you can hope for in the East is a third-place finish, and I that pattern will hold true once again this year. The Sox may have vanquished the Curse last fall, but the Randy Johnson-led Yankees have been constructed to win over the long haul.
My pick: Yankees (Red Sox as wild card)
American League Central: The Central has traditionally been one of the weakest divisions in baseball from top to bottom, as over half its teams routinely finish with losing records. That should change this season, as Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit all believe they can challenge the three-time division champion Minnesota Twins. The White Sox, Indians and Tigers all boast impressive lineups, but the Twins' pitching staff (led by AL Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana) is simply too good and too deep to be overcome.
My pick: Twins
American League West: All four teams in this division could conceivably finish with winning records, given the dramatic off-season improvements made by last year's cellar dwellers, the Seattle Mariners. The Texas Rangers, a surprise contender a year ago, will be doomed by their lack of pitching once again this season. If anyone is poised for a significant drop-off, it's the Oakland Athletics, who will feature a starting rotation with three players under the age of 25. In the end, the well-balanced and newly re-christened Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (the name change being a thinly-veiled attempt to increase revenues) will most likely make the playoffs.
My pick: Angels
National League East: The East should be one of the most competitive divisions in 2005, as three teams (Atlanta, Florida and the New York Mets) all appear to have a legitimate chance to win. However, as their early 1-6 start indicates, I believe the perennially-underachieving Mets will do so once again this season, despite the offseason additions of Carlos Beltran and Pedro Martinez. This division will be a dogfight between the Braves and Marlins, with the loser most likely ending up as the NL Wild Card.
My pick: Marlins (Braves as wild card)
National League Central: The mantra in this division has always been "If the Cubs are healthy, they could …" Well, the Cubs (mostly notably starting pitchers Mark Prior and Kerry Wood) were not healthy in 2004, and the preliminary outlook for 2005 isn't too rosy either. The St. Louis Cardinals, NL Champions a year ago, are back and ready to make up for their four-game collapse in last year's World Series. The Houston Astros received a nice boost with the return of seven-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens but will miss the departed Beltran. It's in the cards for the Cards again this season, as they will win over 100 games and take the division crown.
My pick: Cardinals
National League West: While there appear to be clear-cut favorites in just about every division in baseball this season, the NL West is definitely the exception to that rule. With artificially-enhanced über-player Barry Bonds on the shelf for an indefinite amount of time, the San Francisco Giants could fall in the standings. The Dodgers made a number of interesting (some would say foolhardy) personnel decisions this past winter, and I would be surprised if they repeated as division champs in 2005. Instead, it will be the underdog San Diego Padres that make the playoffs for the first time since 1998, beating out an improved Arizona Diamondbacks team.
My pick: Padres
Even in this era of beefed-up sluggers and inflated offensive numbers, the key to success in the big leagues still comes back to one thing: pitching. It is for this reason I think the Twins will shock New Yorkers when they top the Yankees in the AL Division Series in October. I also believe the Red Sox will see their luck run out as they are beaten in the ALDS by the Angels. In the National League, the Marlins and their outstanding staff will move past the Padres in round one while the Cardinals will defeat the Braves in the other series.
In the American League Championship Series, the Angels will emerge victorious from their 2002 ALCS rematch with the Twins, while the Marlins will surprise and win the National League Pennant over the Cardinals. Your 2005 World Series Champion? For the second time in three years (remember 2003's improbable upset of the Yankees?), it will be none other than the Fightin' Fish themselves, the Florida Marlins.
How's that for prognostication?

Meet Robin Locksley. He wears a hood.
This is an experiment, brought to you by a law student in her final year. A comic and a blog and maybe the antidote to the cold Canadian Winter. To be explored: the frontier of law, the way we live now, our humanity. Plato will be called upon, along with Rousseau, Richard Feyman, Caesar, Napoleon…en bref, all those giants whose shoulders we make our home on.
Brace yourself for adventures (albeit not always of the swashbuckling-Errol-Flynn kind), musings (often peppered with legal commentary), questions (which will mostly likely remain unanswered), and possibly dragons. Updated Thursdays.

Though scholarly inquiry has built a rich understanding of the intersections between lingering demographic and socioeconomic inequities and post secondary access, persistence, and attainment, the conversation has yet to encompass those with current or prior military service.
By examining points of similarity and difference among military-connected students, and drawing upon other facets of their holistic identities, the higher education community will have deeper insight on the challenges and successes of service members and veterans on our campuses.
In this chat, Dr. Morse will share and ask about points of similarity and difference by race/ethnicity and gender on key factors tied to post-secondary access, affordability, and debt, and draw intersections to our nation's broader struggle to address inequities that linger along demographic lines.
Further, Morse will offer considerations for practice and scholarly inquiry to support access and inclusion for our nation's diverse military-connected students.What strategies can practitioners take to support and acknowledge the needs of military connected students? Are there ways we can deliver services differently? Are there things that practitioners need to know/skills they need to have?
Join Andrew Morse and the @KeelingHigherEd team on Wednesday, February 15, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm ET to discuss how to better serve those who have so bravely served us.
Join #KAedchat to follow the live discussion.

Your source for SAP financials tutorials, tips, and training content
Companies often want to separate currency-related elimination differences from other elimination differences during a month-end closing. This process is often required in preparation for consolidated financial statements for statutory or operational reporting. In the absence of an automated process, accounting or reporting managers can find the manual breakdown of elimination difference into currency-related differences and other differences to be time-consuming. Automating this process not only accelerates the financial close process but also eliminates the chances of manual introduction of inaccuracy in financial statements. I show you out-of-the-box functionality in SAP Enterprise Controlling Consolidation System (EC-CS) that allows you to accomplish this process. (This functionality comes delivered in EC-CS as part of the accounting module.)
Intercompany transactions can lead to misinterpretation of consolidated financial statements; thus, they should be eliminated from consolidated financial statements. The process of intercompany elimination between trading partners may result in elimination differences. These elimination differences could stem from a variety of sources. Some notable sources leading to elimination differences are:

We're in love with The Bumbys, a cheeky masked duo whose performance art pieces combine psychological and sartorial insights. Hiding behind sunglasses and bandannas (as well as a red ski cap for one and a red wig for the other), the Bumbys give a quick assessment of their subjects in the form of a "Fair and Honest Appraisal," often typed on vintage typewriters. The playful summaries can be cutting and sometimes effusive, but they are always surprisingly insightful.
While the Bumbys are most frequently found at galleries and parties (we've luckily had them at some of our shindigs before—specifically at our awesome Kate Spade event in New York back in October), we asked them to turn their eyes towards some of travels most iconic figures, historic and fictional. Here are their Fair and Honest Appraisals.

This prompt comes from the book, Is Everyone Really Equal? (pp. 108-109). It is called a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT.
Answer these questions in whatever order feels right.
- At what point in your life were you MOST aware that people from racial groups other than your own existed?
- If you were aware of the existence of people from racial groups other than your own, where did they live?
- If they did not live in your neighborhood, what kind of neighborhood did they live in? Were their neighborhoods considered "good" or "bad"?
- What images did you associate with these other neighborhoods? What about sights and smells?
- What kind of activities did you think went on there? Where did your ideas come from?
- Were you encouraged to visit their neighborhoods? Or were you discouraged from visiting their neighborhoods?
- If you attended a school considered "good," what made it "good"? Conversely, what made it "bad"?
- Who went to "bad" schools?
- Were the schools in your neighborhood racially segregated? How and why?
- If you were told by teachers and/or parents that "all people are equal regardless of their skin," yet you lived separately from different racial groups, what message did that send? In other words, what does it mean to say that all people are equal while simultaneously living separately from them? Sensoy and DiAngelo argue that "our lived separation is a more powerful message than our words of inclusion because the separation is manifested in action, while inclusion is not." What do you think of that?
Please Note
If some of these questions do not apply to the cultural context you grew up in, adjust the questions to capture how you learned about racial difference. How did you see people form racial groups residing outside of your nation state or from ethnic groups different from your own residing in your nation state? How did class difference shape where you lived and how you learned your "place" in society? Consider the impact of whiteness as a global phenomenon? What did you learn it meant to be white? What did you learn it meant to be a member of a racial group that is not white?

Second parent adoption, or co-parent adoption, is really a procedure which means that a same sex parent can adopt the child of his or her partner. It does not matter whether the child will be the partner%u2019s biological child or perhaps an adopted one, under second parent adoption, the partner could become a parent without terminating the prevailing parent%u2019s legal status. second parent adoptions austin
Second parent adoption can be even if the couple usually are not a part of a legal relationship. If your couple is a part of a same sex marriage, or recognized civil union or domestic partnership, chances are they'll can usually adopt a child using the stepparent adoption process in that state. However, parents will be legally recognized as a parent, not a step parent.
It is generally advisable for any non-biological parent to obtain sometimes a parentage judgement or legal adoption certificate for that child that they are raising making use of their same-sex partner, because this will guarantee that the parental rights from the couple are protected, even if they move to another state. This will be significant even if the couple is part of a formally recognised partnership from the state that they are currently residing in. 2nd parent adoption austin tx
There are currently 14 states that allow same-sex couples that aren't married, in a domestic partnership or even a civil union to carry out a co parent adoption or perhaps a second parent adoption. Those states are Connecticut, Colorado, Idaho, California, Illinois, Maine, On the internet services, Indiana, Massachusetts, Vermont, Ny, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and the District of Columbia.
In addition, there are counties in most other states that have granted second parent adoptions to same sex couples which can be unmarried. This means that it is worth seeking legal advice even if you are not in a condition that explicitly permits such adoptions.
Laws Prohibiting Adoption By Unmarried LGBT Individuals
There are many states that have laws that prohibit adoption by an unmarried LGBT couple, however, in those states a married same sex couple could have the same rights in terms of step parent adoption as any other married couple.
In Alabama, the judge of Appeals has ruled which a same sex unmarried couple might not use the existing stepparent adoption procedure. However, in the event the couple is married they must be permitted to use those procedures. In Arizona, married people will be given preference over single adults when adoption placements are now being considered.
The Kansas Court of Appeals issued much the same ruling to the one by Alabama, and doesn't allow co-parent or second parent adoption by a couple that is not married. Mississippi%u2019s statutes prohibit same sex couples from adopting a youngster, however the supreme court%u2019s adoption ruling overrides this if the couple is married, as well as same sex couples to be treated exactly like a heterosexual couple.
Nebraska, California, Ohio and Wisconsin don't unmarried couples to apply for co-parent or second parent adoption. Utah is not going to allow anyone who is cohabiting in a sexual relationship that is not a marriage to adopt, and treats married people preferentially over single adults when considering adoptions and placements for foster care.

June, 2011.
With the launch of Consultingeuropa, Groupe Alpha is stepping into a new phase in the involvement in European projects and, more widely, in the support to social partners on labor, employment and skill issues.
At this time of global economic and social crisis, there is an urgent necessity to help social actors in defining solutions on wage, financial, working conditions and many other fronts. Developing social dialogue and strengthening the European social model is more relevant than ever. It is our ambition to help you, trade unions, employer federations, European institutions, in promoting this social dialogue, not only at national level but also at European level.
At this time of crisis, we must also promote tools aimed at developing Workers's skills. Europe 2020 and the Agenda for new skills and jobs are opportunities that should result in real and concrete actions.
We need to use every means available to us to equip workers for facing labor market challenges, but also to support a sustainable efficiency of organizations, of enterprises.
It seems essential to empower stakeholders on the major issue of lifelong training, with the help of a constructive social dialogue:
a dialogue to be established within businesses on the issue of the training plan;
a dialogue to be organized at local level, by bringing around the table, for example in France, the State, the regions and the social partners for establishing a regional strategy for the development of vocational training. Groupe Alpha is actively involved in meeting this challenge, by assisting some regions in this process and facilitating territorial social dialogue.
a social dialogue at European level, in interaction with public policies. The Sector Councils on Employment and Skills established by European social partners are expected to network national and regional actors and to help forging stronger community of shared practice and experience.
This is also an important area where we engage, with consultingeuropa, by supporting social partners in the establishment of their sector councils.

Can't find the time or budget for a tropical vacation? Don't throw up your hands--unless you're dancing the hula! Invite friends to spend this Saturday sipping frozen margaritas while watching one of our favorite beach-themed shows.
For the full effect, turn off your AC and don the teeny-weeny bikini you've worked so hard to look like a bombshell in since our SELF Challenge began back in March. Can't you almost feel the sand between your toes?
Gilligan's Island. Nothing will make you relieved to be in the comfort of your own home quite like a show about a tour group stranded on an uncharted island. Whether you're a Ginger or a Mary-Anne, you're sure to get a chuckle out of this corny, retro romp.
Baywatch. David Hasselhoff and Pam Anderson created a whole new brand of seaside hottie--one who was strong, sexy and CPR-certified. Next time you feel like hopping off the treadmill five minutes early, just imagine you're in one of the show's copious slow-motion running montages. I know I look like that when I work out...
Survivor. One of the first reality TV shows--and another reason to be thankful for your indoor plumbing. The tribe has spoken, and it is glad to be eating beans instead of bugs for protein. Some experiences are best had vicariously.
The O.C. The plotlines may have been flimsy at times (Julie Cooper-Nichol's trailer, anyone?) but it was the iconic California fashion and many kinds of man candy that kept us coming back to this steamy teen soap. Bad boys, adorable nerds, beefcakey polo players--this show had it all. Oh, and did we mention the man candy?
Jersey Shore. A reality the world had never seen before. While we wholeheartedly approve of the gym and the laundry, the tanning doesn't quite match up to the healthy, SELF-y lifestyle we promote. Enjoy this largely ridiculous, always entertaining peep into the "guido" way of life. Stock up on pickles--you'll be craving them soon!

Planned Giving
The Iowa Newspaper Foundation would be honored to be a part of your planned giving portfolio. For newspaper professionals who have enjoyed the benefits of a newspaper career, this is a great way to give back to the industry.
The term "planned giving" refers to charitable gifts that require some planning before they are made. Planned gifts are popular because they can provide valuable tax benefits and/or income for life.
Planned gifts include:
Bequests - A gift made through a will is called a bequest. When a gift is made to the INF through a will, the estate will receive a charitable estate tax deduction.
Charitable Gift Annuity - An INF Gift Annuity is a contract between the Iowa Newspaper Foundation and the donor. In return for a contribution of cash or other appropriate assets, the INF agrees to pay the donor (or someone else of their choosing) a fixed income for life. The donor enjoys a charitable tax deduction and, if the gift is made with appreciated stock, may also enjoy capital gains tax savings. Deferred gift annuities, in which the income is deferred for a number of years, are often established by younger donors.
Charitable Trusts - There are several types of charitable trusts, including the Charitable Remainder Trust and the Charitable Lead Trust. All offer attractive tax benefits.
Insurance - A cash value life insurance policy that is no longer needed can be contributed to the INF, and may be used to establish a Charitable Gift Annuity. An individual may also purchase a life insurance policy on himself or herself and, by making the INF the irrevocable owner and beneficiary, can enjoy a charitable income tax deduction for the premiums.
Retained Life Estate - A personal residence or farm may be given to the INF with the donor retaining the right to live there for the remainder of his or her life. The donor will receive an income tax deduction for the gift. The INF can use or sell the property at the donor's death.
For more information on how you can help the INF fulfill its mission with a planned gift, contact Geof Fischer at 515-422-9070 or email@example.com. You are encouraged to consult your financial advisor or attorney before making a significant gift to any organization.

Most people are familiar with the body's vessel system that carries blood to and from the tissues, but few understand there is another equally vital system of vessels that removes cell wastes, proteins, excess fluid, viruses, and bacteria. The lymph system picks up fluids and waste products from the spaces between the cells and then filters and cleans them. Try a lymphatic drainage session to directly affect this system and help your body cleanse, detox, and boost immunity in the body!

Different kinds of eyeliner have different advantages. Types of eyeliner include pencil, liquid, and gel varieties. Cake and powder eyeliners are also available. Pencil varieties, in particular, can be very diverse in size, formulation, and application method. Many users of eyeliner often own several types, because the formula can often determine how it actually looks when used on the eyes.
Because it is easy to use and carry, pencil eyeliner becomes more and more popular of all kinds of eyeliner. This type of eyeliner may be made out of wood and thus need to be sharpened as does any other type of pencil, or it may be automatic. An automatic pencil eyeliner is typically made from plastic, and it has a separate stick of eyeliner inside it that can emerge at tip of the pencil when the user twists the applicator in a prescribed direction. Many people feel that pencil eyeliner is easy to control during application and looks more natural than liquid. Eyeliner pens are also available and incorporate a liquid eyeliner in what looks like a felt-tipped pen.
The purpose of applying eyeliner is to give yourself a dramatic and beautiful eyes. When applying eyeliner, consider the desired result. If you seek a dramatic look, try liquid eyeliner. For a softer look, try pencil eyeliner. Whether you use a brush or pencil, it's helpful to tilt your head back slightly when applying eyeliner so that you can see what you're doing. A dark eye shadow can also be moistened for use as eyeliner.
Color-wise, use these guidelines, gray, brown, bronze, plum and navy are good accent colors for light colored eyes. If you have darker eyes, you can choose black, brown and plum shades. Silver and gray shades are complementary to green and blue eyes, as are gold colors for green eyes and reddish-brown shades for blue eyes.
Apply eyeliner after eye shadow, but prior to mascara. To line the upper lid, draw a line from the inside corner across the upper lid very near the lash line. Wait briefly before opening your eyes fully to prevent smearing. This eyeliner application creates the illusion of thicker upper lashes.
You should think about if the eyeliner set is a good value or not when you prefer to buy the best eyeliner set. For instance, if you want a number of different colors of eyeliner, or if you want a mixture of waterproof and regular eyeliners, then selecting an eyeliner set specifically for this purpose is a good idea. Consider also the type of eyeliner you prefer to use, whether it is liquid or pencil eyeliner, because this will affect the set you purchase. If you are purchasing a set as a gift for a teenager, you may want to look for a set specifically designed for teens, which usually includes pencil eyeliner rather than liquid because it is easier to apply.
It is better to choose a familiar and favored brand when you buy an eyeliner set. If you don't know which brands are best, doing some quick research online and reading reviews can help to narrow it down. Many people publish reviews after using certain cosmetics, which can give clues as to how long the products last, if they go on smoothly or leave smudges, or if they are made with hypoallergenic or natural ingredients, for example. Hypoallergenic eyeliner, or eyeliner that is simply designed for sensitive eyes, is a good bet for many people.
Next you should think about which kind of products you want to put into the set. Liquid eyeliner is longer lasting, particularly in waterproof versions, and gives a more severe line. It is also much more difficult to apply. Pencil eyeliner is easier to apply and gives a softer look to the eyes; it is also available in waterproof versions as well. An eyeliner set may contain a few different versions, such as a liquid and a pencil eyeliner in regular and waterproof types. In general, unless you know that you need waterproof eyeliner for a specific reason, it is best to wear regular because it is easier to remove without tugging on the delicate skin of the eyes.

Arthur Glushchenko: Based on medical performance, Shakhtar among top seven clubs of Europe
The chief medical officer of Shakhtar has taken part in the international congress of physicians UEFA Injury Study Meeting. After returning from Barcelona, Arthur Glushchenko has shared his impressions.
- The first congress took place in 2010. Since then, it has been held annually after the Champions League finals, featuring doctors of the clubs that participate in the above European tournament. Traditionally, the first part of the meeting was about results of the injury studies, and the second one was practical: the most interesting medical cases that occurred among the players in the past year were considered. A special theme of this congress was the genetic analysis, through which you can determine whether the player is prone to injuries of the musculoskeletal system. This question was first raised by Barcelona three years ago. Yes, the method has not been fully studied, but it has great prospects. Today it is possible to determine at the genetic level whether a person is predisposed to a tendon injury. And it is very important for the conclusion of contracts with the players. Therefore, this subject is interesting not only to doctors, but also the management of clubs.
- What did Shakhtar present?
- The programme of the meeting was agreed in advance. But, alas, the last time we could not get to congress. Because on that day, May 26, the fighting broke out in the Donetsk airport. So I was not able to fly. However, this year there was an attempt to hold a second meeting under the auspices of UEFA. But it took place in the winter, and at this time we were at the training camp in Brazil.
- Has been anything else useful at this congress, except for the method of genetic analysis?
- We looked at and analysed the system of Barcelona regarding the treatment of muscle injuries, discussed various medical issues, shared our knowledge. Reports on the prevention of muscular injuries were also made by representatives of Borusia (Dortmund). Most importantly, the audience of the congress was small (30-35 people), and it was not limited to reports. During major forums one would mostly listen to presentations and ask questions, here, in turn, most of the time was devoted to the discussion of all these issues. There is a debate. This is more efficient.
- What place in terms of injuries and players' recovery are Shakhtar occupying compared to other clubs of the Champions League?
- It is pleasant to note that in recent years Shakhtar have been among the top seven clubs in Europe. There a special programme. Now it involves 21 clubs, including us. Starting from next year, it will be 32. Twice a year we get comparative information regarding all teams. It includes the percentage of injured players, the information on muscle injuries, ankle injuries, common diseases and the percentage of players participating in the training sessions, games and so on. It also features the periods of treatment of certain injuries, set by the best teams in Europe. In addition, there is total calculation of workloads of players in different clubs: the number of matches, training sessions per month. Again, there is something to compare.
- Do you regularly exchange information regarding players?
- Yes, every month we send this information. Naturally, they are encoded – you cannot learn about what players is talked about; it is impossible! An important point: the information is sent only with the consent of the player, it is a prerequisite.
- The next congress will be held in six months, won't it?
- With regard to the interim meeting, there is not an unambiguous decision yet. The main conference will be held in Lisbon after the next Champions League; that is, one year. It will be hosted by Sporting. The schedule is designed for several years ahead. Let me remind you that Shakhtar hosted this forum in 2012, before the European Championship.
