Freshies Come to BridgerJanuary 8th, 2009
And it's about time! Not that I ever have a right to complain - ever - after all my years of powder at Targhee and Bridger, but, the snow has missed us compared to some places. There was one 12″ dump over Christmas, and that pretty much all we've gotten since Bridger opened. But that changed on Tuesday. The final 3-day tally was 17″ I believe. And it was awesome, just like it always is.
The storm was a classic, text-book "Bridger Bowl Cloud" storm where it's dumping up at BB but only a few flakes fly in Bozeman. I went to work in the morning without a second thought. It just looked like another gray day. Then I checked the snow report just before I was done at lunch time - 8 inches! By the time I got up there a foot had fallen. The place was socked in, no one was there, and all the hike-to terrain was closed - plus the Bowls! Granted it's a little hard to entertain yourself when everything is closed like that, but I had a blast anyway.
The main event was the next day - since everything was closed the day before the snow had been allowed to accumulate. Considering it was a Wednesday and lots of MSU students are still out of town for Break, I was impressed by the crowd. They didn't open Schlasmans, like I hoped, so the Ridge was packed just like the old days. Still lots of fun turns though… just like the old days. :) Alfred and I got first tracks off the side of Widow Maker, found untracked in the Apron, and had a great run down Dicks Dribble. Then… I had to go to work. But to be able to huck and ski powder… and work in the same day??
I love Bridger Bowl.

Houston Accident Lawyers Who Mean Business
It only takes a moment for a car accident to change your life forever. The wreck itself happened in the blink of an eye, but your medical treatment may stretch on for months or years. Being out of work, even for a short time, can impact your finances for a long time. You might even have an injury that will never fully heal.
What happened wasn't your fault, and you shouldn't have to pay. That's why we fight hard to get the compensation our clients need for:
- Medical bills
- Loss of income
- Pain and suffering
- Other losses related to the accident.
A serious car wreck or truck accident can happen in an instant anywhere on any busy highway in the greater Houston area. We understand how a catastrophic injury or the loss of a loved one can have a devastating impact.
Get individual attention from an experienced Houston attorney

We know what to do after an accident
Talking to a seasoned Houston personal injury lawyer is a wise first step following any type of accident due to negligence. Here are some other steps to take if you were in an accident that was not your fault:

- Contact the police and make sure you get a copy of the accident report.
- Get names and contact information for any witnesses.
- Seek medical attention as soon as possible after a car accident, even if you feel fine. Some injuries have delayed-onset symptoms.

Congress Sends Letter Requesting These Seven Things From Planned Parenthood — Make Note of Last One
Aug. 17, 2015 Posted by
The House Oversight Committee on Friday penned a letter to Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards requesting seven documents or pieces of information be handed over by next week.
The letter, authored by Reps. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), noted the series of recent undercover sting videos that purport to show the abortion provider engaging in the sale of aborted fetal parts.
"Recently released videos implicate Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates in potentially unlawful transactions involving fetal tissue," the letter said. "In the videos, Planned Parenthood representatives discuss the demand for certain body parts, the manner in which patient consent is solicited, pricing considerations, and the methods by which doctors manipulate procedures to ensure that tissues remain intact."
It added, "The disturbing content of these videos raises questions as to whether federal funds are being used to finance the potentially illegal conduct described therein."
The committee requested Richards provide seven items to Congress by August 28. Most of the requested information pertains to Planned Parenthood's use of federal funding. Item five requested that the abortion-provider provide a list of the 50 highest-paid employees. Item six requested a list of the "independently incorporated affiliates" that the organization supports, in addition to contact information. The last requested piece of information requires Planned Parenthood to note "what procedures, services, or other medical treatments are available only or exclusively at a Planned Parenthood affiliate or health center that are covered by either a state's Medicaid program or a health plan sold via a state exchange or HealthCare.gov under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act." .. "Do not include services or procedures that could otherwise be provided by a private health care provider," the letter added.
The House Oversight Committee also sent a similar letter to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Matthews Burewell. "According to its 2013-14 Annual Report, Planned Parenthood received more than $500 million in government funding in the last fiscal last year alone, accounting for more than 40 percent of the organization's total revenue," it said. "The Department of Health and Human Services provided a significant portion of the federal funds that Planned Parenthood received. It is not clear whether Planned Parenthood used any federal funds to support transactions involving fetal tissue."
The letter requested information about which agencies within HHS provide funding or support to Planned Parenthood, the total amount of federal funding given to the abortion-provider since 2010, which restrictions are used when applying the funding and a list of services exclusively offered at Planned Parenthood.

Name: Omer ALI Mohammed Abdalla
Nationality: Sudanese
Host Institution: University of Cape Coast, Ghana
Course: Master of Philosophy degree in Agricultural Extension
Thesis: FARMERS' PERCEIVED SUSTAINABILITY OF COTTON PRODUCTION UNDER THE GEZIRA SCHEME IN SUDAN
My Experience Studying Abroad
The opportunity of studying abroad granted me the privilege to expose myself to a new academic environment which is different from that of my university in Sudan (University of Gezira). I got the chance of learning science-based knowledge and experience from professors of Agricultural Extension at University of Cape Coast. These knowledge and skills will form a strong foundation for my academic career. I came from an Arabic speaking country to study in Ghana; this helped me a lot to improve my skills in English expression and academic writing. Not just the academic experience, I have been exposed to the Ghanaian culture, local ceremonies, and I like many types of the Ghanaian food.
Studying abroad gave me the chance of interacting and sharing experiences with students from different cultural backgrounds. I learnt a lot from those colleague students. They presented themselves in interesting manners. I have been influenced by most of their positive ways of thinking and dealing with our daily life courses. Moreover, from their cultural and language backgrounds, I learnt how to greet people in several Ghanaian local languages and easily adapt to Ghanaian local conditions. I also had the opportunity of living and studying with students from a Portuguese speaking country, from Kenya, from Nigeria and Liberia from whom I knew how to greet people in the Portuguese language, Swahili and some Nigerian and, Liberian local Languages.

Artist Statement
I have been taking pictures off and on for over 40 years, but I really started a passion after spending time living and working in Madagascar.
How a land can still exist, so unique and full of complexity, so simple and deep and so totally untouched, is what drives me to take these pictures.
I am an engineer and an industrial photographer, but nothing in my past has prepared me for the gift that is Madagascar. I continue to explore there and the pictures are the best I can do to catalogue and re-live the experience.
The pictures come from the east near the Indian Ocean, from coastal towns and cities where the rivers run from inland to meet the sea. They come from the western coast of the great island where ocean corral finds itself uplifted to form pillars of limestone that are forests in themselves and so incomparable that they are protected on an island where practically nothing is protected. The pictures come from inland villages where subsistence farmers have a way of life now threatened as much by lack of development as by significant exposure to globalism. And most of all, they come from the light of Madagascar, an island, unconnected and rare.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Stratcomm Africa, Ms. Esther A. N. Cobbah, has urged Ghanaian business owners to innovate if they want their businesses to survive the global competition.
"There is the need for businesses to innovate new products and services in order to survive. Innovation promotes increasing productivity in an intensely competitive global context. Businesses that are innovative are constantly transforming and able to reach a new level of effectiveness", she said.
Ms. Cobbah, gave the advice at the Annual Applied Research Conference organized by the Koforidua Polytechnic under the theme, "Applied Research for innovative and Strategic Solutions to National problems".
The conference was aimed at providing a platform for the discussion of findings from academia and industry to build effective collaboration among academia, industry, and other research institutions. It was also to provide an avenue for business owners to exhibit their products and services as well as create investment opportunities.
Speaking on the topic, "application of innovation in transforming businesses", the CEO of Stratcomm Africa emphasized that innovation is critical for human development and is fueled by human aspirations. "People must always aspire to come up with new ideas that will enhance and improve livelihoods", she stated
"Our aspirations for our country should make us innovate and be entrepreneurial in new ways, taking advantage of resources around us", she stressed.
The CEO of Stratcomm Africa, noted that Innovation that destroys the environment, which does not transform for good, is not part of the creative task of human beings". The introduction of the Ghana Garden and Flower Show was discussed as an innovative idea that is designed to help create jobs, generate income and conserve the environment.
Ms. Cobbah, indicated that Stratcomm Africa facilitates the generation and marketing of innovative ideas, products and services.
Other speakers at the conference included Professor Smile Dzisi, Rector of Koforidua Polytechnic, Jerry Otchi, Corporate Affairs Manager Ash Cell, Samuel Tobin, CEO of Tobinco Pharmaceuticals, and Prof. Emmanuel Y. H. Bobobee of KNUST.

specially children's.

Camila's birthday
As most kid's birthdays have just become an entire production
complete with a clown, a magician and candy to make anyone
go right into a diabetic comma.
So I was quite thrilled to assist a child's birthday where the
whole idea was to have a picnic in a backyard and have
the kids enjoy themselves.

I never had a party with clowns or magicians or at any sort of party 'factory' destination. Just a homemade cake and my friends.
Even now all I really want is some good food and some good people, and for my mom to make me a cake. I kind of want this one: http://sweetapolita.com/2011/02/campfire-delight-6-layer-rich-chocolate-malted-toasted-marshmallow-cake/
My birthday is in exactly one month, so it's time to be putting serious thought into the cake I want.

My AFJ (Amazing Friend Jacqui) shared this article on Facebook the other day and I have to admit to reading the entire article twice! Such amazing wisdom from a paediatrician who has probably seen it all in his 25 years. Please read it if you have 5 minutes - it will be one of the most powerful things you read all week!
I have to admit that being a woman is completely and utterly exhausting. I've gotten to the point where I need to color my hair every six weeks to prevent my "silver highlights" from making me look like Kayla's granny. (In fact, Kayla is usually the one to point it out to me in her usual up-front manner - "Mommy, you need to go and see Clive TODAY because I can see a LOT of grey and it does NOT look good!)
I love being able to climb inside the minds of men - I really do think our panel should be sainted for their honesty each week! Today, I asked them what it is about a woman that catches their attention, and how they feel when their better half cries!
One of my readers sent me a mail last week asking if I have ANY ideas to share on end-of-year gifts for teachers. Now, seeing as though I was part of the teaching profession for four glorious years (some of the happiest of my life, in fact), I have a few stand-out gifts I can recommend. Add that to an opinion poll on Facebook and some time spent surfing the Internet, and I think I have a fairly comprehensive list of ideas that may help those of you that are feeling a little stuck!
There is always that one moment before something catastrophic happens that you WISH you could have caught on camera! Well, luckily for some, these pictures below were not only captured, but also circulated on the Internet. LOVE IT!
I spent THE most amazing evening last night at Macaroon's Christmas Workshop, and came away completely inspired! With stunning tips on Scandinavian-themed decor, how to celebrate Christmas at the beach and gorgeous ideas on wrapping Christmas presents, my FFA (Fabulous Friend Amanda) and I spent the entire time sighing with delight and wishing we could do everything!
We were also given a few stunning recipes to try, which of course I will be sharing with you! (I'm sure the team at Macaroon won't mind, especially if I tell you that their new shop in Greenside is phenomenal. You can either order your personalized stationery online or pop in and see the items in person before ordering. You can also buy non-personalised goodies immediately. Did I mention that they also deliver? See why I love them so much?)
I'm not sure if having an 8 month old baby has made me feel older or just LOOK older, but there are definitely a few more wrinkles than there were this time last year. I also get overwhelmingly excited at the prospect of an early night with my book - as opposed to spending a night out on the town with friends. Sad, isn't it?
If, like me, you feel the years are catching up with you, here are a few helpful checklists to help you REALLY feel your age!
I am one of those annoying people that likes to get her Christmas shopping done early! There is nothing worse than screaming around the Mall right before Christmas, trying frantically to find something that says "I have put loads of thought into this gift, even though it was actually bought yesterday!" That being said, I always battle to find really great gifts for men and am always on the lookout for much-needed advice!
Enter Byron, our resident Male Guru, who has made it his personal mission to find fabulous gift suggestions for men - and they're all online! So you can sit back, browse and order, and then wait for your gifts to be delivered - all without battling the tedious mall crowd. (You can click on the images below to read more about the actual gift, or to buy!)
I have come to the realization that life is just too short to read books that don't absolutely engross me. When you think of the volumes of books that are available and the limited time we have to read them, it makes no sense whatsoever to keep ploughing through mediocre books!
Let's be honest, we have all experienced the enormous power of PMS in getting men and small children to perform extraordinary feats (such as actually changing the toilet roll or hanging up wet bath towels). Which got me to thinking. What if we were to collectively harness PMS and use it to eradicate Rhino Poaching?

Nigel Mansell OBE, one of the biggest names in motor racing, is joining the Royal Automobile Club's London to Brighton Veteran Car Run on November 6 and will headline the event. The 1992 Formula One World Champion is going to be joined by Mike Penning MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport and MP for Hemel Hempstead, for the 115th anniversary of the oldest and finest motoring event in the world.
Nigel Mansell continues to be one of the most liked and most successful racing motorists in Britain. In an outstanding profession spanning 15 seasons, he recorded 31 grand prix wins and 32 pole positions from 187 starts, sits fourth in the overall winners list and ranks third in the fastest laps tally in the world.
He was the CART IndyCar World Series Champion in 1993 and he continues to be the only motorist to have back-to-back titles, winning the CART crown as the ruling F1 champion. His daring on-track fights gained him international recognition, never more so than on home shores where his move on Nelson Piquet in the 1987 British Grand Prix proceeding into Stowe Corner initiated "Mansellmania".
Mansell and Penning will certainly be the attraction for thousands of visitors who will line up to see the 60-mile course from London's Hyde Park to Madeira Drive in Brighton. This is going to be the largest free motoring event in Britain.
The 2011 event offers to be among the best yet, featuring 500 of the most legendary pre-1905 Veteran automobiles, including a global entry comprising 25 percent, while honoring Germany as the country of celebration. Driving a 1902 Mercedes Simplex, the journey of Mansell and Penning will help mark the start of motoring development with the celebrations around the Run's 75th anniversary start at Hyde Park.

Some of my fondest memories as a child revolved around my Grandmother's dinner table. She brought her recipes from Gdansk to Kapuskasing, and I think it's safe to say that all sides of my extended family ate well when we visited Granny Urbas. Needless to say, the bar has always been set pretty high when…

All children benefit from physical activity, as it provides a range of physical, social, cognitive and emotional benefits. This fact sheet outlines some of the many benefits physical activity provides.
Each child will demonstrate their learning in unique and varied ways. Including opportunities for physical activity and active play into your program will allow children to demonstrate a range of learning outcomes.

text: The trial lawyer's lobby is worried that medical malpractice tort reform could become a bargaining chip in the health care debate. They are lashing out at any attempt to include medical malpractice limits in health care reform bills. Citing the fact that 98,000 people are killed every year by preventable medical err, the president of the American Association for Justice believes that this bargaining tactic will greatly harm victims of medical malpractice. Studies have shown that medical errors are the sixth leading cause of death in America. However, numerous independent analyses have shown that malpractice lawsuits contribute a tiny fraction to the cost of health care. Costs related to medical malpractice, including damage awards, settlements and insurance rates, constitute just a fraction of health are spending nationwide. Therefore, limiting the legal rights of patients will do nothing to lower the costs of health care. To read more about the tort reform, please click the link.

Event detail
Center for Computational Biology Seminar: Dr. Murat Acar, Associate Professor of Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology, Yale University
Seminar | May 2 | 4:30-5:30 p.m. | 125 Li Ka Shing Center
Center for Computational Biology
Title: Quantitative insights into gene network evolution and aging in the context of a canonical network
Regulation of gene expression in the yeast galactose utilization network has served as a paradigm for eukaryotic transcriptional control for 60 years now. Using the GAL network as an experimental model, we characterized cross-species evolution of this network and how cellular aging affected the network activity. Combinatorial replacement of the network promoters in S. cerevisiae by their counterparts from the yeast S. paradoxus provided insights into the role of a key cis-regulatory region as a facilitator of network evolution between the two yeast species. Tracking the activity of the GAL network in budding yeast cells monitored throughout their replicative lifespan in a microfluidic chamber elucidated how gene expression levels and noise in gene expression dynamically change during the aging of the host cell. Aging-associated increases in chromatin state transitions were hypothesized to be behind the observed gene expression and noise dynamics, and a stochastic model provided quantitative support to the proposed mechanism. Future studies on other model organisms and/or gene networks will show the degree of generality of our results.
Trained as a physicist (PhD, Physics, M.I.T.; B.S., Physics, Bogazici University), Murat Acar is a systems biologist who combines experimental and computational approaches in his research using yeast as a model organism. Being a member of the Yale Systems Biology Institute, Dr. Acar is an Associate Professor at the Departments of Molecular Cellular & Developmental Biology and Physics at Yale University. Dr. Acar started his faculty position at Yale as an Assistant Professor in 2012 after a postdoctoral position at CalTech. His PhD and postdoctoral studies focused on understanding structure-function relationships in gene networks while his current research efforts are focusing on understanding single-cell aging and gene network evolution.
Light refreshments will be provided at reception from 4:00pm - 4:30pm, 125 LKS foyer.

Man flu: it affects manly men, research suggests
Tuesday, 15. January 2019
"Manlier" men are less resistant to the effects of one strain of the flu, new research suggests.
Those in favour of the existence of the dreaded "man flu" had been supported by previous findings that women have a stronger immune response than men, but the reasons remained unknown until now.
Scientists from the US and France identified a cluster of genes that had already been linked to poor immune response in males. These genes are responsible for lipid biosynthesis, where a complex chemical compound is made from simpler components. The expression of these genes appeared to be increased by testosterone.
By analysing blood serum in 53 females and 34 males, the researchers discovered men with higher levels of testosterone displayed weak antibody responses to the flu vaccine when working with the H3N2 strain – a serious and prevalent strain globally. Those men with low levels of testosterone and females didn't show a decrease in their antibody response to the vaccine.
Dr Alan Hampson, Chair of the Australian Influenza Specialist Group, who was not involved in the study, said it was important to recognise the difference between males and females occurred most strongly with the H3N2 strain, but to a lesser extent and not at all with the two other strains studied [B and H1N1], respectively.
"The results when you look at morbidity and mortality of influenza globally are rather mixed," said Dr Hampson.
"In some places we see there are more severe infections in males but in others we see more severe infections in females and it does differ with age."
Dr Hampson said the findings were another piece in a very large jigsaw, but should not be encouraging either sex to skip vaccinations, or for females to be offered a diluted dose.
"We know that in some parts of society women are the care-givers who really do become exposed to influenza so it's good if they do produce a better immune response to the vaccine," said Dr Hampson.
As to males receiving more sympathy while suffering the flu however, or even the existence of the "man-flu", Dr Hampson remains unconvinced.
"I think anybody who gets the flu and gets typical clinical symptoms deserves sympathy."

When Margaret, Indira talked about grandkids
In a world dominated by male politicians, Margaret Thatcher turned to an Indian woman to draw inspiration. Little is known about her first meeting with Indira Gandhi, but the diplomat who set it up revealed Monday that it was Thatcher who sought it.world Updated: Apr 09, 2013 03:25 IST
In a world dominated by male politicians, Margaret Thatcher turned to an Indian woman to draw inspiration. Little is known about her first meeting with Indira Gandhi, but the diplomat who set it up revealed Monday that it was Thatcher who sought it.
Maharaja Krishna Rasgotra, former foreign secretary, went to see Thatcher in 1972, sensing a rising international star in the then junior education minister. "She said, 'You know, I'd love to go to India to meet Mrs Gandhi', and so I organised her trip," Rasgotra told HT.
They met for 1.15 hours, instead of the scheduled half hour. "The two ladies got on famously. Mrs Thatcher was full of India and full of Mrs Gandhi. Later, I asked Mrs Gandhi, 'What did you talk about? Your politics are totally different.' And she looked straight at me and said, 'Oh, we talked about our grandchildren!"
Apparently, the chemistry between the two women laid the foundation for Thatcher's rise. Thatcher's biographer Hugo Young says the first meeting marked an important step in her journey towards belief in herself as a rising international stateswoman.
Indira was said to be one of the few women by whom Thatcher had ever allowed herself to be impressed. At that first meeting, an Indian official told the academic Blema Steinberg, Thatcher sat at Mrs Gandhi's feet, asking how had she made it to the top, how had she stayed there and how had she sustained her domination of her party.
When Mrs Gandhi was assassinated in 1984 – just 15 days after an IRA bombing attack on Thatcher – the British leader recalled thinking, "I shall miss her very much indeed; our friendship had a special quality."
In 1989, Thatcher finally had occasion to pay a fulsome public tribute to Mrs Gandhi at the unveiling of a bust of the Indian leader, sculpted by K.S. Radhakrishnan, at the Indian High Commission in London. Wearing a striking dark magenta dress, she spoke positively about India and the need to fight terrorism.
At around the same time, she took a series of swift measures to check rising Khalistani militancy in Britain. "She realised what the problem was and sorted it out no time," said Rasgotra.

7 Tips for Enjoying Nature's Mushroom Bounty
Image: Are they edible? scoobygirl, Flickr
Few things are finer than taking advantage of fresh, local ingredients growing wild and free to spice up a fantastic meal. In Germany, mushroom season is celebrated with special menus featuring the famous pfifferling mushrooms in classic and modern dishes. But after a moist summer perfect for mushroom proliferation, the headines in Germany are a reminder that nature's bounty can be dangerous: reports of possible mushroom poisonings have doubled. Following some simple rules can minimize the risks.1. Know Before You Go
The best defense to avoid mushroom poisoning while enjoying the plethora of tasty, edible fungi is to know the rules before you go collecting. Knowing where mushrooms were found, and making identifications before the mushrooms begin to dry out, greatly improves the chances of a correct identification. Collecting the roots by digging mushrooms rather than plucking them can help with identification.
2. Consult an expert
The best support for newbies is to go collecting together with an experienced mushroom collector. If you cannot find a personal mentor to traipse through the woods with you, look for offers in your community to help check out collected mushrooms. In Germany, for example, many drugists can help confirm if your fresh ingredients are safe for use. As a last resort, use mushroom collecting books or other media to learn how to identify edible mushrooms.
3. Taste Testing
After you have relatively good certainty that your mushrooms are edible, cook and eat just a few. Don't mix them with other mushrooms or eat other foods that may cause symptoms of poisoning. Especially avoid alcohol, which can both confuse the symptoms and put pressure on the organs that will be needed to clean up any toxins in case you are wrong about your mushrooms.
4. Contingency Plans
Be sure to keep a few mushrooms from your collection in the refrigerator to help with a correct identification in case the taste test is a fail. If you find yourself feeling unwell, bring the saved specimens with you when consulting a poison center or physician.
5. Not for Everyone
The risk is higher for young children, the elderly, or people with a compromised immune system. They are more likely to experience adverse reactions, and the consequences are more severe in case poisonous mushrooms are ingested. People taking drugs that increase the burden on the kidneys and liver should also avoid the risk of giving these toxicity filters a double whammy with a bad lot of 'shrooms. To be safe, people in high risk categories should stay with the sure thing, even if that means sticking to mushrooms picked from the grocery store shelf or growing your own mushrooms.
6. Respect Nature
When picking mushrooms for the first time, collect just a couple. After following the steps above to ensure they are safe to eat, and after they successfully pass a taste test in trial quantites, then go back to pick some more. After all, mushrooms are an important part of nature's biological cycles. If you pick a spot clean, you rob nature of balance.
7. When in Doubt, Throw it Out
Always enjoy wild mushrooms in moderation. And if there is any doubt, don't take the risk.
