Selling in the international school market can be difficult enough; selling to schools that generally have little understanding of blended learning leads to some especially challenging territory.

6 Reasons Why Students Need 21st-Century Skills
SMARTER SCHOOLS | by Michael Spencer
There's plenty of talk about what to include on a 21st-century skills list, but why students need such skills is a different question.
Ever since the late 1990s, "21st-century skills" has been a catch-phrase racketing around the education and business worlds. It continues to do so.
Part of its persistence may be due to the excitement in defining a new age: we're leaving behind an entire thousand-year set and advancing into a new one. But have things really changed that much? They certainly have. …

Some people have been taking interest in the annotation engine, a collaborative annotation project I've been working on sporadically. (Thanks rsp and lkcl.)
Interesting, I also just got spam from Third Voice about the latest version of their still-IE-only browser plugin. (I won't sell my soul for that...) Annotator predates Third Voice for public commentary on web pages hosted elsewhere, and itself owes a lot to the CritLink mediator. It's server based, so much more portable than Third Voice -- once you've navigated the frames, it even looks decent in lynx. Right now, however, it's very slow, mostly at the stage of very inefficient pattern-matching to place notes in the text. It's just a set of Perl scripts talking to a mySQL database if anyone wants to poke around :-).
Ultimately, I'd want to use tools like this in the Openlaw project for collaborative development and editing of documents. Mailing lists have their limits. Law firms must be among the most technologically backward places, so I can claim this to have some sort of relevance to what I'm supposed to be spending my time doing.

So... early December starts the 3AM new year? Sounds like someone just got pissed that the Dolphins aren't making the playoffs and decided to take it out on us. I can dig it though. My 3AM new year resolution will be to lose at least 1000 posts when this one gets deleted.
If the old thread does get restored, I think it should go in the flipper's finest section of the forum, with a stickied link from the lounge. That would be awesome. OR if its too big, then repost the funniest chunks/stories to be easily accessed.
I just want to win.
About 2 weeks back me and my best friend over this way had these two girls over by his place. One of them he has kinda been seeing and the other one was this girl's friend. I figured I had a decent shot at getting something because of math and such, so I was looking forward to meeting this girl. Within 3 minutes of meeting her she is talking about this picture of herself she put up on instagram and how she needs at least 10 likes. Me and my boy naturally think shes joking.
Anyway, my friend's girl decides that we should a round or two play beer pong and wants to do it them vs us. That sounds fun and has good **** talking potential so we set everything up and start playing. This second girl is totally zoned out the whole time we are trying to play because she is checking her phone constantly to check and see if anyone else liked her picture. Like literally every 2 or 3 minutes and to make matters worse she is bitching that people arent liking it. She proceeds to start texting people telling them to go like her picture. Me and my friend are just dumbfounded. I mean shes just totally ignoring us, her friend, everyone because she is legit worried about her like count on a damn instagram picture.
I think at that point we both realized that she was an annoying, childish cvnt and started just mercilessly mocking her. About everything. After we got done with instagram mocking it somehow came up that she likes to cook. Joked about that. Just full on dick mode. The knockout punch was when she actually started cooking for her and her friend. I walked over to the stove. She asks what Im doing. I said I was just checking up to make sure she was doing it right. Obviously a joke and not that cruel at all but I think after so many body blows she just broke down. She left crying.
Pretty sure she probably ****ed the first guy she saw after she left to try repair whatever kind of fragile self esteem and confidence she had. Talk about insecure. Im not one to pull dick moves like that, but I honestly dont even think its that dickish to do that t someone who is in your (well, my friend's) place and acts completely disrespectful by not even attempting to care about other people.
Didnt have sex. Didnt even feel bad.
Dear God, CK just completely de-cleated the pro-Ireland argument.
This band just continually blows me away.
This is not ok. thousands of pages of glory lost forever.
I ****ing hate the Knicks.

In the opening scene, it looks like Unicron, albeit slightly smaller, was emerging from the smoke. Hound has been confirmed to be in the movie.

Family: Alcidae, Auks, Murres, Puffins view all from this family
Description ADULT SUMMER Has gray-brown upperparts, darkest on crown, nape, back, and wings; neck and chest are also gray-brown, but underparts are otherwise whitish. Has shaggy white plumes running back from eye and from base of bill. Bill is orange-yellow, relatively large (like a scaled-down puffin bill) and with a forward-projecting, pale hornlike plate after which species is named. Iris is white. ADULT WINTER Similar, but white plumes are much-reduced and bill is smaller, duller, and lacks the projecting "horn." JUVENILE Similar to winter adult, but bill is smaller and duller still, and iris is darker.
Dimensions Length: 14 1/2-15 1/2" (37-39 cm)
Habitat Widespread and locally common, breeding colonially on islands and nesting in burrows; activity at colonies is mainly nocturnal. Suffers badly on islands where ground predators have been introduced. Otherwise seen at sea, range extending south in winter to Baja California.
Observation Tips As auklets go, one of the easier species to see, partly because of wide-ranging distribution, but also because it often feeds in inshore seas, even outside breeding season, making it easier to observe from land. You are most unlikely to see the species on land, however, unless you visit a colony after dark.
Range California, Northwest, Alaska, Western Canada
Voice Utters groaning calls, after dark, at colonies. Otherwise silent.
Discussion Relatively large and bulky alcid. Breeding season bill ornamentation is distinctive and diagnostic, even in silhouette. Swims buoyantly and often seen in flocks. Sexes are similar.

Watson named director of admission
Posted January 4, 2006; 02:04 p.m.
Christopher Watson, a member of the Princeton staff since 2000, has been named director of admission.
Reporting to Dean of Admission Janet Rapelye, he will be responsible
for the daily operations of the undergraduate admission office and
managing the admission staff.
"Chris has been taking on increasing responsibilities since he joined our office five years ago," Rapelye said. "He has been overseeing our selection committees, training staff members, traveling internationally and, most recently, coordinating the technological transition to the PeopleSoft system this summer. This promotion is a natural step for him to take and a recognition of his contributions to our team."
A graduate of Bowdoin College, Watson earned a master's degree in
education from Boston University. He worked as regional director of the
Foundation for Foreign Study in Cambridge, Mass., from 1991 to 1994 and
as associate director of international admissions at Boston University
from 1994 to 2000. He joined the Princeton staff as associate director
of admission and was promoted to associate dean after one year.


text: The council-manager form of government is the most popular structure of government organization in the United States. Utilizing this form of administration, San Antonio voters elect 11 representatives (10 district representatives and a mayor) to pass laws and establish policies for the city. The Mayor and each member of council is paid $20 per meeting attended. The Mayor is paid an additional $3,000 annually. The Mayor and City Council are the community's key decision makers. They focus on: the provision and efficiency of basic services; their district's growth; capital improvement projects; land use and development; the city's financial growth and economic development; and other important issues. Council members focus on how City policies not only meet the needs of their constituents, but also how they meet the goals of the entire community. The Council hires a City Manager to serve as the City's chief administrator. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the actions and policies of the council by overseeing the day-to-day operation of the organization. Council members also rely on the city manager to provide them with professional advice before they take action on a specific issue. Today, San Antonio's City Manager oversees more than 12,000 employees in 37 departments who provide a wide range of municipal services. For example, City employees fight crime, put out fires, collect wastes, maintain streets, issue building permits, help senior citizens, provide recreation and cultural activities, and provide hundreds of other important services. The City Manager relies on department directors to ensure that these services are provided in an effective and efficient manner. The Manager also is charged with developing and overseeing an annual budget, which is approved by City Council each year, that pays for all of services the City provides to its customers.

Actor Wilson Cruz and GLAAD's Corey Johnson were on MSNBC this afternoon to discuss the importance of showing support for LGBT young people. Cruz and Johnson were invited to MSNBC to discuss Spirit Day, the campaign to get allies of the LGBT community to display the color purple in order to let LGBT youth know they are cared for and loved by people at their schools, in their communities, and in the media. After the discussion, MSNBC Anchor Thomas Roberts ended the segment with a heartfelt plea for that support to continue year-round and to extend beyond just wearing a certain color.

Bill T. Jones has always loved double meanings. Chapel/Chapter, his hour-long work about crime and redemption, splices three harrowing life tales into a theatrical environment that beguiles and distracts and makes claims on your energies and doesn't give you any easy handholds on morality. Attended by buzz, the 2006 dance-theater piece played the Institute for Contemporary Art last weekend, and it will run for two weeks this summer at Jacob's Pillow (June 26–July 6). Conceived and directed by Jones, Chapel/Chapter is beautifully crafted by a long list of collaborators in the expansive multimedia style of postmodernism that he's used so effectively in his earlier works.
When we walked into the ICA theater, quiet meditative music was playing. Designer Bjorn Amelan had draped the walls with red curtains, softening and warming the theater's chic industrial surfaces. Dancers were standing on a luminous white floor that was marked off with black tape into eight squares and surrounded on three sides with a double row of benches. Patrons were being ushered into the close-up seats. Even though it was 15 minutes to curtain time, the audience chatter shrank to a whisper. It was like entering a very dignified, tasteful funeral home or a European concert salon.
The nine dancers slowly, sightlessly begin to walk through the space. People posted around the edges steer them gently so they can't wander off the grid. Then the movers and the guides leave. Two men come back and one of them starts telling a story about how he broke into a house and killed a family. A woman sitting on one of six red-painted wooden chairs answers his halting account with a sing-song "All right." The other man rolls away in a blue light, followed by the projected image of a tiny red chair.
The lights change again and a hopscotch diagram appears on the floor. A child's voice is heard singing a folk song in a language that isn't English. The two-man band (Christopher Antonio William Lancaster, cello, and Lawrence "Lipbone" Redding, guitar and voice) launch into some jivy music and the rest of the dancers prance back in.
This happened in the first five minutes.
After that, two more stories were added into the mix, all intercut and amplified by projected spoken and sung texts, multi-ethnic flavored music (by Daniel Bernard Roumain), and vigorous input from the dancers. The serial-killer story gets told many times in different ways, sometimes with people dancing out the crime in suggestive but not pantomimic movement. In one long passage, the killer opens up to a woman who prompts him and responds "All right" when he pauses in his grisly narrative. She might be a detective gathering evidence, or a psychiatrist, or a priest. She doesn't pass judgment.
In another story, a man tries to explain why he killed a troubled daughter whose obstreperous behavior turned pathological. Another man dredges up a childhood incident. As the pieces of his story accumulate, I first think it's going to be a classic abuse scenario — he's coaxed into the woods by another boy while at summer camp — but eventually we learn he's been conscripted into witnessing a suicide.

Only Wednesday and I am already losing sleep concerned with what I will cook for the game. I am leaning towards a fresh squirrel and rabbit gumbo with Andouville sausage served over popcorn rice and garlic bread.
How's that sound?
On the short ride home I called a buddy and asked him about a piece of hardwoods near his home. He told me the kids had shot all the squirrels a couple of weeks ago but I was welcomed to see if one survived. So, I was there for daybreak Sunday monring. At 7:15am I saw one grooming himself at the very top of a tree. I put the crosshairs on him and he made a big thump when he hit the ground. Then, one barked behind me at 15 yards and I nailed him too. Walked 30 yards down the tree line and saw two chasing one another. Placed the crosshair on him and pop! The other took refuge behind the tree and a few minutes later I saw it peaking at me from the backside of an oak. He too was soon on the ground and that went on till around 9am when I had my limit of eight.
Last weekend I went on a dove shoot in Pickens County, Alabama. We wouldn't be heading to the dove field until 1pm so on the drive up Friday, I called an old friend from Aliceville that met me at 8am with his three Basset Hounds. We shot two limits of rabbits by noon!
Squirrel and rabbit gumbo is whats for dinner gametime!;)
Alright, I couldn't get any takers on the ND / Oklahoma game.
I'll put up a couple slabs of KC ribs and fixings on Alabama if one of you Cajuns will put up some crawfish for a boil come next spring on your Tigers?
KC ribs? Puhlease. The ribs we do are far superior.

Details of David Sedaris and the Ticket Luck value
There are many people who are born with some talent, but there are few who are born with multiple talents. They are like priceless diamonds, having many sides. One such name is David Sedaris. Born in December, 1956, Sedaris is a humorist, writer, comedian and bestselling author of America. Not only this, he is also a popular radio contributor. Known as, 'the rock star of writers', this multitalented artist has been making valuable contributions in the world of entertainment. He has been amusing the world with his matchless humor, his unparalleled articles, and outstanding radio contributions. This year you can get a chance to experience this star live as he is to make his appearance in theaters near you. David Sedaris tickets are now available and the sooner you get them the better as the best seats go first!
Sedaris got recognition during 1992 with his essay SantaLand Diaries that was broadcasted by the National Public Radio. In 1994, first compilation of essays and short stories was published. It was called the Barrel Fever. The next collection of essay, Naked, was published in 1997 while Holidays on Ice came to public in 1997. These were followed by Me Talk Pretty One Day in 2000, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim in 2004, and When You Are Engulfed in Flames in 2008. Many of his works became New York Times Best Sellers, helping him establish as popular writer.
So far, David Sedaris has sold more than 7 million copies of his collections. The humor of this celebrity is autobiographical in nature. It often revolves around his family life and his rearing in the suburbs of Raleigh, North Carolina. He also talks about his Greek heritage, different jobs, education, and his life in France and London.
When Sedaris was in his teens, he had developed interest in visual and performance art. He was discovered reading his dairy in a Chicago club by radio host Ira Glass, who asked him to be a part of his weekly program The Wild Room. David Sedaris gives credit of his success to Ira whom he accredits for changing his life and discovering his talent. It was his success on The Wild Room which led to his National Public Radio debut in 1992. He read a radio essay on Morning Edition SantaLand Diaries, talking about his experiences as an elf at Macy's department store. He was given the title of a minor phenomenon by The New York Times for this work.

Hi. Does anyone out there collect these? Ive heard a few very positive comments about the line, and am considering laying the money down (on ebay of course, because we don't get anything good like that in the store where I live).
Any comments or criticisms of the line would be appreciated, and would help me decide to spend or save my hard earned money.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:38 PM GMT on June 01, 2009
Hurricane season is upon us, and it's time to take a look at the prevailing conditions and 2-week forecast for tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic. June is typically the quietest month of the Atlantic hurricane season. On average, we see only one named storm every two years in June. Only one major hurricane has made landfall in June--Category 4 Hurricane Audrey of 1957, which struck the Texas/Louisiana border area on June 27 of that year, killing 550. The highest number of named storms for the month is three, which occurred in 1936 and 1968. In the fourteen years since the current active hurricane period began in 1995, there have been eleven June named storms (if we include last year's Tropical Storm Arthur, which really formed on May 31). Five tropical storms have formed in the first half of June in that 14-year period, giving a historical 36% chance of a first-half-of-June named storm.
Figure 1. Tracks of all June tropical storms and hurricanes, 1851 - 2007.
Sea Surface Temperatures
Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are close to average over the tropical Atlantic between Africa and Central America this year (Figure 2). These temperatures are some of the coolest we've seen since 1995, when the current active hurricane period began. This year's cool SSTs should prevent a repeat of the unforgettable Hurricane Season of 2005, which had the highest SSTs on record in the tropical Atlantic. Note also that SSTs along the Equatorial Pacific off the coast of South America are quite a bit above average, signaling the possible start of an El Niño episode. As I discussed in Friday's post, odds are increasing for a weak El Niño to form in time for hurricane season, and this should cut down on the number and intensity of Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes this year. However, if an El Niño is developing, it shouldn't start affecting Atlantic hurricane activity until August.
Typically, June storms only form over the Gulf of Mexico, Western Caribbean, and Gulf Stream waters just offshore Florida, where water temperatures are warmest. SSTs are 26 - 28°C in these regions, which is about 0.5°C above average for this time of year. June storms typically form when a cold front moves off the U.S. coast and stalls out, with the old frontal boundary serving as a focal point for development of a tropical disturbance. African tropical waves, which serve as the instigators of about 85% of all major hurricanes, are usually too far south in June to trigger tropical storm formation. Every so often, a tropical wave coming off the coast of Africa moves far enough north to act as a seed for a June tropical storm. This was the case for Arthur of 2008 (which also had major help from the spinning remnants of the Eastern Pacific's Tropical Storm Alma). Another way to get Atlantic June storms is for a disturbed weather area in the Eastern Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) to push north into the Western Caribbean and spawn a storm there. This was the case for Tropical Storm Alberto of 2006 (which may have also had help from an African wave). SSTs are too cold in June to allow storms to develop between the coast of Africa and the Lesser Antilles Islands--there has only been once such development in the historical record--Ana of 1979, which coincidentally will be the name given to this year's first storm.
Figure 2. Sea Surface Temperature (SST) departure from average for June 1, 2009. SSTs were near average over the tropical Atlantic. Note the large region of above average SSTs along the Equatorial Pacific off the coast of South America, signaling the possible start of an El Niño episode. Image credit: NOAA/NESDIS.
Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential
It's not just the SSTs that are important for hurricanes, it's also the total amount of heat in the ocean to a depth of about 150 meters. Hurricanes stir up water from down deep due to their high winds, so a shallow layer of warm water isn't as beneficial to a hurricane as a deep one. The Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential (TCHP, Figure 3) is a measure of this total heat content. A high TCHP over 80 is very beneficial to rapid intensification. As we can see, the heat energy available in the tropical Atlantic has declined considerably since 2005, when the highest SSTs ever measured in the tropical Atlantic occurred. TCHP this year is similar to last year's levels, which were high enough to support five major hurricanes.
Figure 3. Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential (TCHP) for May 31 2005 (top), May 31 of last year (middle) and May 30 2009 (bottom). TCHP is a measure of the total heat energy available in the ocean. Record high values of TCHP were observed in 2005. TCHP this year is much lower, and similar to last year. Image credit: NOAA/AOML.
Wind shear
Wind shear is usually defined as the difference in wind between 200 mb (roughly 40,000 foot altitude) and 850 mb (roughly 5,000 foot altitude). In most circumstances, wind shear above 20 knots will act to inhibit tropical storm formation. Wind shear below 12 knots is very conducive for tropical storm formation. High wind shear acts to tear a storm apart. The jet stream's band of strong high-altitude winds is the main source of wind shear in June over the Atlantic hurricane breeding grounds, since the jet is very active and located quite far south this time of year.
The jet stream over the past few weeks has been locked into a pattern where a southern branch (the subtropical jet stream) brings high wind shear over the Caribbean, and a northern branch (the polar jet stream) brings high wind shear offshore of New England. This leaves a "hole" of low shear between the two branches off the coast of North Carolina, which is where Tropical Depression One formed. The low shear "hole" has dipped down into the northern Gulf of Mexico a few times. Disturbance 90L, which almost developed into a tropical storm before it came ashore in Mississippi/Alabama on May 23, took advantage of one of these low-shear areas.
The jet stream is forecast to maintain this two-branch pattern over the coming ten days. This means that the waters offshore of the Carolinas are the most likely place for a tropical storm to form during this period, though the northern Gulf of Mexico will at times have shear low enough to allow tropical storm formation. The latest 16-day forecast by the GFS model (Figure 4) predicts that the subtropical jet will weaken and retreat northwards by the middle of June, creating low-shear conditions over the Caribbean. This is a typical occurrence for mid-June, and we need to start watching the Western Caribbean for tropical storm formation by the middle of the month.
Figure 4. Wind shear forecast from the 00Z GMT June 1, 2009 run of the GFS model for June 1 (left panel) and June 17 (right panel). Currently, the polar jet stream is bringing high wind shear to the waters offshore New England, and the subtropical jet is bringing high wind shear to the Caribbean. This leaves the waters off the coast of North Carolina under low shear, making this area the most favored region for tropical storm formation over the next 7 - 10 days. By June 17, the subtropical jet is expected to weaken and move northwards, leaving the Caribbean under low shear, and favoring that region for tropical storm formation. Wind speeds are given in m/s; multiply by two to get a rough conversion to knots. Thus, the red regions of low shear range from 0 - 16 knots.
Dry air and African dust
It's too early to concern ourselves with dry air and dust coming off the coast of Africa, since these dust outbreaks don't make it all the way to the June tropical cyclone breeding grounds in the Western Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Developing storms do have to contend with dry air from Canada moving off the U.S. coast; this was a key reason why 2007's Subtropical Storm Andrea never became a tropical storm. Dr. Amato Evan of the University of Wisconsin will issue his dust forecast for the coming hurricane season later this week, and I'll be discussing his forecast in an upcoming post.
Steering currents
The steering current pattern over the past few weeks has been typical for June, with an active jet stream bringing many troughs of low pressure off the East Coast of the U.S. These troughs are frequent enough and strong enough to recurve any tropical storms or hurricanes that might penetrate north of the Caribbean Sea. Steering current patterns are predictable only about 3-5 days in the future, although we can make very general forecasts about the pattern as much as two weeks in advance. At present, it appears that the coming two weeks will maintain the typical June pattern, bringing many troughs of low pressure off the East Coast capable of recurving any June storms that might form. There is no telling what might happen during the peak months of August, September, and October--we might be in for a repeat of the favorable 2006 steering current pattern that recurved every storm out to sea--or the unfavorable 2008 pattern, that steered Ike and Gustav into the Gulf of Mexico.
Recent history suggests a 36% chance of a named storm occurring in the first half of June. The current conditions in the atmosphere and ocean are near average, so expect about a 1/3 chance of a named storm between now and June 15. The computer models are currently not forecasting development of any tropical storms over the next seven days.
I'll have an update Tuesday afternoon, when I'll discuss the Colorado State University June Atlantic Hurricane season forecast by Dr. Phil Klotzbach and Dr. Bill Gray, which will be issued Tuesday morning.
My next analysis and 2-week outlook for hurricane season is scheduled for June 13.

How can I prevent my coriander plants from bolting?
Root disturbance is a common cause of bolting with these annual herbs, so seeds are best sown directly where you want them to grow, with repeat sowings every three weeks or so until the autumn for a constant supply. Hot weather and drought also encourage premature seed setting, so keep plants well-watered, and staked if necessary. Seed merchants offer some varieties that are slower to bolt - including Santo and Slowbolt - so look out for them.
Can you suggest a non-toxic spray for aphids?
Try combining 3/4 cup vegetable oil (such as canola) with 2 teaspoons of dishwashing detergent. Mix 1 teaspoon of this solution with 1 cup warm water in a hand-held spray bottle and apply to affected plants as needed. Aphids can also be squashed by hand (wear gloves if you are squeamish) or hosed off with a strong stream of water. Note that ladybirds, lacewings, parasitic wasps, fungal diseases and waxeyes help control aphids, but ants in the garden encourage the little pests.

The school episode was fantastic. That's about it though. I think Shane is the most compelling character outside of the one that is coming back: Merle.
I agree that they need to stop with this hunt for the girl **** though. Find her dead or alive and get this ball rolling again before people stop caring. It's starting to remind me of Heroes. So much promise, so poorly executed.
Last call for alcohol.
So, theories on where the dumb little girl went that they're spending an entire season on? My guess is she's found her way to Penn State. She's done. Time for them to move on.
There is no way in hell anyone would keep looking for a girl like that. It's way past time to move the story along.
Only thing that got me interested in that episode was glenn finding the zombies in that barn, and like a prophet spoke (me)... I still hope that house gets ransacked so **** can get real. Also the farmers daughter id do
That little whore needs to hurry up and turn up dead so they can actually do something.
Also this show is proof positive that if you have women in your apocalypse survival party, you really need to smack them around and put them in their place. God damn these women are stupid.

The same goes for season one of 24.
That being said, I wish they would introduce one big exception, Michonne:
I should try to get around to starting this show, eh? Well at least after I catch up on this season's Boardwalk Empire whenever that'll be.

Special Announcement – The Gluten Effect is now available
Mayor of Sunnyvale The Honorable Anthony Spitaleri, Dr Vikki Petersen and Dr Richard Petersen
The long awaited day has arrived – today is the international release of our book The Gluten Effect!
Two days ago we had a book signing event with 150 patients along with their families and friends in attendance. Our Mayor and the CEO of the Chamber of Commerce spoke at the event. Having specialized in gluten sensitivity and its attendant symptoms for over 15 years, it was gratifying to see all the familiar faces in the crowd. Present were patients both new and old whose lives had changed dramatically after removing gluten from their diet.
A patient who had been chronically depressed since he was 16, shared his 30 year long struggle. When he came to see us a year ago he was on 7 different medications ranging from anti-depressants to anti-anxiety to anti-seizure drugs. When he first began his gluten-free diet and started to feel better he returned to his psychiatrist to ask him to help taper him down off his medications. The psychiatrist informed him that he had a chemical imbalance and that he would never be able to stop taking his psychiatric meds.
Fast forward 1 year later and he's not only off every single one of those medications but he feels and looks better than he ever has. He spoke at our book signing and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
We wrote The Gluten Effect because it was no longer enough for us to only help the patients who live local to our clinic. Millions of people in this country are suffering needlessly due to undiagnosed gluten sensitivity and we wanted them to get the vital information that we provide in our book about the vast number of symptoms and diseases associated with gluten. It's not that we're encouraging self-diagnosis exclusively, but within a medical community who considers celiac to be extremely rare and doesn't even acknowledge the existence of gluten sensitivity, patients diagnosing themselves with a gluten problem is extremely common.
I just received a call from a gentleman in Kansas this week who is going to fly out to our Destination Clinic to get treated. His comment to me was: "Doc, I'm tired of being my own doctor!" He had diagnosed himself with gluten sensitivity despite none of his doctors supporting him. He wanted to come to a clinic where he could get help with his many health problems.
I am hopeful that the information in The Gluten Effect will be valuable to all those who read it. It is my sincerest wish that you or someone you know will be helped with the data in the book.
To Your Good Health!
Dr Vikki Petersen

Bill O'Reilly
TV Personality
Date Of Birth:
10 September 1949
Place Of Birth:
New York City, New York
Bill O'Reilly is the host of the political opinion show The O'Reilly Factor on the FOX News network and the author of the best-selling books The O'Reilly Factor and The No-Spin Zone. After 20 years as a reporter and anchor in smaller U.S. TV markets, O'Reilly landed a job as a correspondent with ABC News in 1986. From 1989-94 he hosted the tabloid news show Inside Edition, and in 1996 signed on with FOX to host his own show. It didn't take long for his in-your-face style to catch on, and his self-appointed position as the "common man" battling intellectual elites garnered him a huge audience. In 2002 he began a radio show, The Radio Factor. Although O'Reilly is right-of-center politically, he has drawn the ire from some conservative groups for his defense of homosexuality and his positions on environmental issues. His on-air provocative style has seeped into his public life as well: O'Reilly's feuds with comedian Al Franken and National Public Radio's Terry Gross have become modern media legends.

By the time Warden Jeffrey Merrill revealed on June 3 that three Maine State Prison employees had been put on paid leave as a result of a state police investigation of an inmate's death in April, probes of corruption and other issues at the 925-inmate lockup had already cast a harsh light on its management.
Governor John Baldacci said on June 4 he was "concerned about the apparent circumstances of the death" of 64-year-old sex offender Sheldon Weinstein, who died in his cell in the Warren prison's solitary-confinement "Supermax" unit on April 24. He had been beaten four days earlier, and police are investigating inmates as suspects in what they term a homicide.
But several prison sources said Weinstein also had been refused proper medical treatment, and that this is the reason the employees were put on leave. On June 10, the Maine State Police said he died of "blunt force trauma," but would confirm little else.
A prison chaplain, former state representative Stan Moody, of Manchester, said he hopes Weinstein's death "will lead to widespread reform" within the prison. "Sadly, change often comes about through tragedy." He believes he was one of the last people to talk with Weinstein.
Commenting on the prison's mounting troubles, Baldacci also said in his June 4 statement he was confident Corrections Commissioner Martin Magnusson "will take appropriate disciplinary steps, if necessary, and correct any identified problems" at the prison. He expressed "complete confidence" in Magnusson: "He has been aggressive in his pursuit of allegations that have been made concerning the treatment of prisoners or other activities within the prison system."
Weinstein, who — in addition to injuries from his beating — suffered from diabetes, had moved about the prison in a wheelchair. He had asked for medical attention in the late afternoon of the day of his death, it was refused "because he's a sex offender," and he was found dead in his cell when guards did the 6 pm "count" of prisoners, according to Michael James, a Supermax inmate at the time who was interviewed at the Riverview Psychiatric Center in Augusta, where he is now a patient.
James said Weinstein had been beaten by inmates because he was a "skinner," the prison slang for sex offender. Several prisoners reportedly have been put in the Supermax's isolation cells as suspects in the beating, but officials would not confirm this. Violent inmates often target sex offenders. After his beating, Weinstein was moved out of the prison's general population to a cell in the Supermax (officially called the Special Management Unit).
Officials would not identify the employees placed on leave in the incident, who now face an internal investigation. James said guards as well as prisoners treated Weinstein with hostility. Despite the shadow over the prison's treatment of Weinstein's injuries, Maine State Police spokesman Stephen McCausland said his agency was "not looking at Corrections personnel as having any role" in the homicide.
Arrested in 2007, Weinstein, a retired salesman, had been sentenced last fall to two years in prison after pleading guilty to sexual assault several years ago against a young girl, a relative, in Berwick, where his family has a home. His residence in recent years had been in New Hartford, New York, though he stayed in Berwick awaiting the outcome of his criminal case.

Nazareth, where Jesus spent most of his life, has over the centuries held fast to the most famous story to come out of those years – Jesus' synagogue sermon and its aftermath, when admiration for him turned to rage (Luke 4:16-39). The site of the synagogue where Jesus preached has been marked for centuries, and so has the hilltop – Precipice Mountain –where tradition says the people of the city pursued Jesus. Mary, tradition says, was also here, frightened at the thought of what might happen to Jesus, until she saw he had emerged unharmed.
A road leads to the top of Precipice Mountain; on the way you'll see a church marking the site where Mary is said to have watched fearfully. At the top of the mountain, where the cliff plunges to the Jezreel Valley below, enjoy the magnificent panorama as you contemplate this dramatic story.

John Gorka is first of five artists to perform in Grassroots Concerts fall lineup
Five Friday night concerts are scheduled for the fall 2013 Grassroots Concerts season, which is the 25th year for the all-volunteer acoustic series.
The first concert of the silver anniversary season will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20, at the Live Well Nightclub and Coffee Bar in Nisswa, featuring an artist who is well-known to folk music fans — John Gorka.
Playing the series' 277th concert, Gorka will make his seventh appearance in the venue where he debuted in 1989. Back when concerts were held in the Brainerd Odd Fellows Hall, he shared the stage with Garnet Rogers, the second performer of the 2013 fall season.
Gorka's rich baritone voice, introspective songwriting and dry wit are trademarks always in play when he takes the stage. He recently has toured with fellow Red House Records artists Lucy Kaplansky and Eliza Gilkyson as the trio Red Horse.
He has been working on new songs, recording and retrieving older songs as well as exploring the electric guitar world.
When not on the road, Gorka enjoys time with his family in Minnesota.
The rest of the 2013 fall season:
• Friday, Oct. 4: Garnet Rogers, Canadian folk artist known for powerful songwriting and remarkable musicianship. He can tell a great story in song and between them. Rogers will make his sixth Grassroots appearance, having last performed in Nisswa in 2008.
• Friday, Oct. 25: Dakota Dave Hull, whose guitar style spans a wide musical geography to create a blend of jazz, ragtime, folk, blues, Western swing and vintage pop. This will be his first solo appearance. He has performed three concerts in duos.
• Friday, Nov. 8: Chastity Brown, whose roots are planted in gospel and soul, country and blues, makes her series debut. Raised in Tennessee, Brown calls her music "Americana soul."
• Friday, Nov. 22: Mary Bue, a Duluth-based musician who has been a piano player since fourth grade, when her mother bribed her with $75 per year to practice. Since 17, Bue has been writing songs and taking them on the road to 38 states and counting. This will be her concert series debut.
Admission is $10 at the door for adults and $5 for children under 12 with listening attention, when accompanied by an adult. At all shows, seating is first-come, first-served. Showtime is 7:30 p.m.; doors open at 6:30 p.m.
The Live Well Nightclub and Coffee Bar, 5459 County Road 18, is located in the Journey Church across from the A & W Restaurant and next to the school in Nisswa.
Grassroots Concerts are made possible in part by a grant from the Five Wings Arts Council through the Minnesota state Legislature. The series is a 501c(3) non-profit under the Internal Revenue Code.
The concert series encourages donations of non-perishable items from those attending. Volunteers will deliver them to the food shelf.

Guns, drugs, hookers, porn and ... Shakespeare? Not what you'd expect from a TV show about bikers, surely.
But Sons of Anarchy offers its fans a lot more than the stereotypical view of the leather-clad outlaws, especially as the story is based on Hamlet.
There's the lone prince, Jackson "Jax" Teller (Charlie Hunnam) whose father is dead and whose stepfather Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman) is now king, or in this instance the president of the motorcycle club.
Add to that Jax's scheming mother Gemma (Katey Sagal), who emerges as more of a Lady Macbeth character as the series unfolds.
Perlman believes what draws in audiences is the same thing that appeals to actors - the writing.
"The work is only interesting when the writing is smart and consequential," he says.
Clay's hold on his world is shaken in season five as Jax takes centre stage, a place that Hunnam says he feels is more right for the character.
Long-term fans will be shaken with the death of another core character at the beginning of the season, which Hunnam says shook him deeply.
He said it was no easier rehearsing and then shooting the character's final scenes.
There are lighter moments in the new season, many provided by guest star Jimmy Smits, whose role as the pimp Nero also provides some tension between Clay and Gemma.
Sagal says it was no hardship to work with Smits.
"Women - me included - love Jimmy Smits, he's kind of dreamy," she says. "We have a really good chemistry, the two of us, and I'm not quite sure exactly where it's going ... but so far it's wonderful."
Smits agrees that he and Sagal work well together, while acknowledging the difficulty of finding his place in a long-running series.
The lightness he brings to his character comes from looking to find what makes Nero tick.
"I'm always trying to find the humanity in the character ... "

She actually seems really sweet in real life, unlike so many other celebrities. And I've yet to hear someone say otherwise.
Ugh. Carrie Fucking Bradshaw. No matter how much I love Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw and the fact that Parker continues to play her although the series has been dead for years, really grinds my gears.
She married Ferris Bueller! It doesn't get cooler than that!
She tried to make it as a designer and has put out a couple lines of perfume. No thanks, Parker.
Despite the critics about her looks, she's never gotten a nose job (although some will claim she has). But honestly, if you do any comparing of photos you'll see it has everything to do with her aging and not rhinoplasty.
She actually told Elle she loves the smell of dirty diapers; adding, "I even like when they're wet and you smell them all warm liked a baked good."
One of her first movies was Footloose. Not only did it star Kevin Bacon, but it's about a town where dancing is outlawed. Brilliant!
She and that damn Candace Bushnell actually made some of us believe that NYC was full of men like 'Big.' Granted, we were younger and delusional then, but still.
False advertising!
She actually seems really sweet in real life, unlike so many other celebrities. And I've yet to hear someone say otherwise.

Professor Dennis Yokoyama Elected as JABA President
In February, Professor Dennis Yokoyama officially began his term as president of the Japanese American Bar Association (JABA), one of the oldest ethnic minority bar associations in the country. He was elected to the position last spring and will serve until January 2009.
JABA has a distinguished history of providing service to the community, as well as grooming future leaders: six of its past presidents are bench officers of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. JABA's membership also includes notable prosecutors and public defenders, as well as partners and associates from the state's largest law firms. The Association was founded over 30 years ago in Los Angeles to provide a special forum for members of the legal profession with interests and ties to the Japanese American community to discuss issues, network, and serve the community. Past JABA presidents are prominent members of the legal community, and several now serve as bench officers.
The JABA Board of Governors will be installed at JABA's 32nd Annual Installation and Awards Gala on April 4, 2008. This year, the organization will be honoring the legacy of Mitsuye Endo, Gordon Hirabayashi, Fred Korematsu, and Minoru Yasui, each of whom legally challenged the Japanese American internment during World War II all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Representatives from each of the four families will be honored. The keynote speaker will be Dale Minami, the civil rights attorney who, in 1983, successfully overturned Fred Korematsu's wartime conviction.
"I want to help JABA continue its many activities and programs," Professor Yokoyama said. This includes a Judicial Candidate Mentoring Program in which JABA members interested in becoming a judge or commissioner can be mentored by judicial officers. JABA has also created a Diversity Committee, which is dedicated to creating partnerships with government agencies and private organizations in promoting diversity across the legal profession. The Committee also directs its efforts in motivating and educating students about the law and career opportunities in the legal field to encourage those with diverse backgrounds to enter the legal profession.
"I understand the great responsibility that I have assumed," Professor Yokoyama said. "My goal as president is to maintain JABA's involvement with issues of concern to Japanese American attorneys and the community at large."
For more information about the Gala and JABA in general, please contact Dennis Yokoyama at firstname.lastname@example.com.

AT this time,—(I think it must have been in 1821,) was my first appearance in print. I had some early aspirations after authorship,—judging by an anecdote which hangs in my memory, though I believe I never thought about it, more or less, while undergoing that preparation which I have described in my account of my studies and translations. When I was assorting and tabulating scripture texts, in the way I described some way back, I one day told my mother, in a moment of confidence, that I hoped it might be printed, and make a book, and then I should be an authoress. My mother, pleased, I believe, with the aspiration, told my eldest sister; and she, in an unfortunate moment of contempt, twitted me with my conceit in fancying I could be an authoress; whereupon I instantly resolved "never to tell any body any thing again." How this resolution was kept it is rather amusing now to consider, seeing that of all people in the world, I have perhaps the fewest reserves. The ambition seems to have disappeared from that time; and when I did attempt to write, it was at the suggestion of another, and against my own judgment and inclination. My brother James, then my idolized companion, discovered how wretched I was when he left me for his college, after the vacation; and he told me that I must not permit myself to be so miserable. He advised me to take refuge, on each occasion, in a new pursuit; and on that particular occasion, in an attempt at authorship. I said, as usual, that I would if he would: to which he answered that it would never do for him, a young student, to rush into print before the eyes of his tutors; but he desired me to write something that was in my head, and try my chance with it in the "Monthly Repository,"—the poor little Unitarian periodical in which I have mentioned that Talfourd tried his young powers. What James page: 91 desired, I always did, as of course; and after he had left me to my widowhood soon after six o'clock, one bright September morning, I was at my desk before seven, beginning a letter to the Editor of the "Monthly Repository,"—that editor being the formidable prime minister of his sect,—Rev. Robert Aspland. I suppose I must tell what that first paper was, though I had much rather not; for I am so heartily ashamed of the whole business as never to have looked at the article since the first flutter of it went off. It was on Female Writers on Practical Divinity. I wrote away, in my abominable scrawl of those days, on foolscap paper, feeling mighty like a fool all the time. I told no one, and carried my expensive packet to the post‐office myself, to pay the postage. I took the letter V for my signature,—I cannot at all remember why. The time was very near the end of the month: I had no definite expectation that I should ever hear any thing of my paper; and certainly did not suppose it could be in the forthcoming number. That number was sent in before service‐time on a Sunday morning. My heart may have been beating when I laid hands on it; but it thumped prodigiously when I saw my article there, and, in the Notices to Correspondents, a request to bear more from V. of Norwich. There is certainly something entirely peculiar in the sensation of seeing one'sself in print for the first time:—the lines burn themselves in upon the brain in a way of which black ink is incapable, in any other mode. So I felt that day, when I went about with my secret.—I have said what my eldest brother was to us,—in what reverence we held him. He was just married, and he and his bride asked me to return from chapel with them to tea. After tea he said, "Come now, we have had plenty of talk; I will read you something;" and he held out his hand for the new "Repository." After glancing at it, he exclaimed, "They have got a new hand here. Listen." After a paragraph, he repeated, "Ah! this is a new hand; they have had nothing so good as this for a long while." (It would be impossible to convey to any who do not know the "Monthly Repository" of that day, how very small a compliment this was.) I was silent, of course. At the end of the first column, page: 92 he exclaimed about the style, looking at me in some wonder at my being as still as a mouse. Next (and well I remember his tone, and thrill to it still) his words were—"What a fine sentence that is! Why, do you not think so?" I mumbled out, sillily enough, that it did not seem any thing particular. "Then," said he, "you were not listening. I will read it again. There now!" As he still got nothing out of me, he turned round upon me, as we sat side by side on the sofa, with "Harriet, what is the matter with you? I never knew you so slow to praise any thing before." I replied, in utter confusion,—"I never could baffle any body. The truth is, that paper is mine." He made no reply; read on in silence, and spoke no more till I was on my feet to come away. He then laid his hand on my shoulder, and said gravely (calling me "dear" for the first time) "Now, dear, leave it to other women to make shirts and darn stockings; and do you devote yourself to this." I went home in a sort of dream, so that the squares of the pavement seemed to float before my eyes. That evening made me an authoress.
It was not all so glorious, however. I immediately after began to write my first work,—"Devotional Exercises," of which I now remember nothing. But I remember my brother's anxious doubting looks, in which I discerned some disappointment, as he read the M.S. I remember his gentle hints about precision and arrangement of ideas, given with the utmost care not to discourage me; and I understood the significance of his praise of the concluding essay (in a letter from Madeira, where he was closing his precious life)—praise of the definiteness of object in that essay, which, as he observed, furnished the key to his doubts about the rest of the book, and which he conveyed only from an anxious desire that I should work my way up to the high reputation which he felt I was destined to attain. This just and gentle treatment, contrasting with the early discouragements which had confused my own judgment, affected me inexpressibly. I took these hints to heart in trying my hand at a sort of theologico‐metaphysical novel, which I entered upon with a notion of enlightening the world through the same kind of interest as was then excited by Mr. Ward's novel, "Tremaine," page: 93 which was making a prodigious noise, and which perfectly enchanted me, except by its bad philosophy. I mighty enjoyed the prospect of this work, as did my mother; and I was flattered by finding that Rachel had higher expectations from it than even my own. But, at the end of half a volume, I became aware that it was excessively dull, and I stopped. Many years afterwards I burned it; and this is the only piece of my work but two (and a review) in my whole career that never was published.
Already I found that it would not do to copy what I wrote; and here (at the outset of this novel) I discontinued the practice for ever,—thus saving an immense amount of time which I humbly think is wasted by other authors. The prevalent doctrine about revision and copying, and especially Miss Edgeworth's account of her method of writing,—scribbling first, then submitting her manuscript to her father, and copying and altering many times over till, (if I remember right) no one paragraph of her "Leonora" stood at last as it did at first,—made me suppose copying and alteration to be indispensable. But I immediately found that there was no use in copying if I did not alter; and that, if ever I did alter, I had to change back again; and I, once for all committed myself to a single copy. I believe the only writings I ever copied were "Devotional Exercises," and my first tale;—a trumpery story called "Christmas Day." It seemed clear to me that distinctness and precision must be lost if alterations were made in a different state of mind from that which suggested the first utterance; and I was delighted when, long afterwards, I met with Cobbett's advice;—to know first what you want to say, and then say it in the first words that occur to you. The excellence of Cobbett's style, and the manifest falling off of Miss Edgeworth's after her father's death (so frankly avowed by herself) were strong confirmations of my own experience. I have since, more than once, weakly fallen into mannerism,—now metaphysically elliptical,—now poetically amplified, and even, in one instance, bordering on the Carlylish; but through all this folly, as well as since having a style of my own,—(that is, finding expression by words as page: 94 easy as breathing air)—I have always used the same method in writing. I have always made sure of what I meant to say, and then written it down without care or anxiety,—glancing at it again only to see if any words were omitted or repeated, and not altering a single phrase in a whole work. I mention this because I think I perceive that great mischief arises from the notion that botching in the second place will compensate for carelessness in the first. I think I perceive that confusion of thought, and cloudiness or affectation in style are produced or aggravated by faulty prepossessions in regard to the method of writing for the press. The mere saving of time and labour in my own case may be regarded as no inconsiderable addition to my term of life.—Some modifications of this doctrine there must of course be in accordance with the strength or weakness of the natural faculty of expression by language: but I speak as strongly as I have just done because I have no reason to believe that the natural aptitude was particularly strong in myself. I believe that such facility as I have enjoyed has been mainly owing to my unconscious preparatory discipline; and especially in the practice of translation from various languages, as above related. And, again, after seeing the manuscripts or proof‐sheets of many of the chief authors of my own time, I am qualified to say that the most marked mannerists of their day are precisely those whose manuscripts show most erasures and their proof‐sheets most alterations.

Autonomy's Lynch Said to Hire Lawyer Weingarten, CFO Gets KekerKaren Gullo and Aaron Ricadela
Mike Lynch, former chief executive officer at Hewlett-Packard Co.'s Autonomy unit, hired criminal defense lawyer Reid Weingarten and Sushovan Hussain, who was Autonomy's finance chief, retained attorney John Keker, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Hewlett-Packard said in December that the U.S. Justice Department had opened an investigation into the company's allegations that British software maker Autonomy misrepresented its performance before being bought last year. The largest personal computer maker booked an $8.8 billion writedown related to Autonomy in November after concluding that some revenue had been recorded prematurely or improperly.
``As with anyone accused of wrongdoing under the securities laws, these men look like they are retaining highly qualified legal counsel,'' said Lynn E. Turner, a former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chief accountant who is now a managing director of the consulting firm LitiNomics Inc. ``I don't believe that says anything one way or another with respect to the allegations.''
Weingarten's past clients include ex-WorldCom Inc. Chairman Bernard Ebbers and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer Lloyd C. Blankfein. Keker, who is helping McGraw-Hill Cos. and its Standard & Poor's unit fight U.S. fraud claims, also represented Black Panther Party leader Eldridge Cleaver and banned cyclist Lance Armstrong, as well as vindicated investment banker Frank Quattrone, Enron Corp. executive Andrew Fastow and class-action lawyer William Lerach.
Lynch Cooperation
Lynch said in December that he will cooperate with any investigation and rejected allegations of wrongdoing.
Weingarten, a partner in the Washington office of Steptoe & Johnson LLP, and Keker, a founding partner of Keker & Van Nest LLP in San Francisco, didn't immediately return phone messages seeking comment. The person asked not to be named because the matter isn't public. The hiring of the lawyers was reported earlier by the U.K.'s Daily Mail.
Separately, PGGM Vermogensbeheer BV, a Dutch pension administrator, was appointed lead plaintiff in investor lawsuits against Hewlett-Packard over the Automony writedown.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco consolidated securities class action, or group, lawsuits against the computer maker in an order March 4. PGGM, with $35.1 million in losses from the drop in HP's stock after the writedown was disclosed, has the largest financial interest in the litigation, Breyer ruled.
Hewlett-Packard agreed to buy Autonomy for $10.3 billion in 2011. More than $5 billion of the writedown was the result of accounting practices at Autonomy, Hewlett-Packard said. About $200 million of Autonomy's revenue had been recorded prematurely or improperly, the company's general counsel said.
Dozen Lawsuits
Shares of Palo Alto, California-based Hewlett-Packard fell 12 percent on the announcement, dropping to the lowest since October 2002. At least a dozen investor lawsuits were filed against the company, its managers and Autonomy managers alleging shareholders were misled about problems with the acquisition.
Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP was named lead counsel in the securities class-action lawsuit. PGGM may propose an alternate law firm to lead the case, Breyer said in his ruling.
Law firms that lead group lawsuits manage and control the single, consolidated case. A new, consolidated complaint will be filed within 60 days, Ramzi Abadou, an attorney for PGGM at Keller Topaz Meltzer & Check LLP, said in a phone interview. He declined to comment further.
Lead Counsel
Individual investor Stanley Morrical was appointed lead plaintiff in the lawsuits against Hewlett-Packard filed by investors on behalf of the company. Burlingame, California-based Cotchett Pitre & McCarthy LLP was named lead counsel for the so-called shareholder derivative lawsuits, Breyer said.
Three lawsuits filed on behalf of participants of Hewlett-Packard's employee stock-ownership plan were also consolidated. Breyer named New York-based Zamansky & Associates as interim lead counsel of the cases.
The securities class action case is In Re HP Securities Litigation, 12-cv-5980; the derivative case is Riccardi v. Lynch, 12-cv-06003 and the employee case is In Re HP ERISA, 12-06199, all in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).
