Style File - Harper Seven Beckham
WHILE there was no doubt that David and Victoria Beckham's first daughter - and fourth child - would have a head start in the sartorial stakes, little Harper Seven received her initiation into the style world far earlier than most.
Baby Beckham's first Fashion Week came at just two-months-old, as mummy showed her spring/summer 2012 collection in New York. During the trip, Harper also enjoyed another important milestone - her first visit to Prada. "We went in to Prada and she loved it," Victoria later said of the mother-daughter day out, "It was if she was saying, 'Mummy I'm home!"
A wardrobe packed with designer wares was a prerequisite and baby Harper has been spotted in endless adorable ensembles from the likes of Bonpoint, Caramel Baby & Child and Stella McCartney. Victoria has even started producing designer mini-me versions of her VB by Victoria Beckham collection just for her daughter, tweeting an image of a cat-print dress with the message, "Cutie cat for baby Harper x vb"
With a start in life like that, we can't wait to see what she'll be wearing in 20 years time.

Keeping thankful in perspective
November 26, 2012
Since I was a girl in school and old enough to write, there was always the assignment to pen a "I am thankful for" list. For some reason it usually takes a holiday where the bounty overflows so much it should be embarrassing that we ponder our thankfulness.
True to form, it is almost Thanksgiving and my "thankful" list is underway. But this time I'm gauging my thankfulness for today on the things of yesterday.
We in this current world take our comforts so much for granted. We can't control the weather outside so we create climate-controlled environments inside and live there. As a civilization, we have invented enough forms of electronic entertainment to keep us mindlessly busy 24/7 and never notice what Mother Nature is doing outside. We have a gadget that will tell us if we need to know.
Each generation has a generation before it that lived a very different life with completely different challenges. My kids never knew what black and white TV looked like while I remember when the first one showed up at my grandparents' house. My grandparents remembered when radio was pretty exciting stuff second only to actually having the electricity to use it.
I could outline "hard times" by each generation in my family back to the immigration from the "old country." But today I'll just say I'm thankful for their tough mind sets and willingness to make do so that survival allowed for my generation to be born.
My grandmother wrote about when she was only 18 and had just married my grandfather. It was in 1930. They lived in a one-room cabin near a freshwater spring in the mountains of Southern Colorado. He worked at a sawmill too far away to travel daily so he left on Monday mornings not to return until Saturday night. They had a dog, a milk cow and very little food.
Recommended Stories For You
She related that they survived on venison and not much else. She made cottage cheese from the cow's milk and my grandfather trapped for coyote, fox and bobcat to sell the furs to supplement a very meager income.
During their first spring together, the thoughts of green vegetables from her carefully tended garden excited her so. Then in the first week in July, there came a hard freeze and her rows of vegetable plants turned black. She fell to the ground and cried but not for long. She simply started over. That fall she was blessed with a bountiful harvest in spite of the very late start.
Imagine an 18-year-old of today living with so few resources. Survival meant food and shelter, not the latest fashion in belly-button revealing clothes or owning the newest version of the coolest phone.
What will my grandchildren remember of my sacrifices? "Poor Grandma. It was 70 miles one-way to the nearest Wal-Mart."
My grandmother wrote, "They were years of very hard times, but the memories are sweet and precious. We raised our kids on beans, love and poached venison. Looking back I see just how little material things mattered. Survival and family were what life was all about. Sixty years later, it still is."
Our "hard times" are so truly relative to the times we live in. I'm so thankful for her life in order to keep a solid perspective on mine. ❖

These religious orders serving in our diocese are part of the North Eastern Wisconsin Vocation Ministers Alliance.
Some women and men live their vocation as priests, sisters, or brothers within a religious community. As people who make solemn vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, consecrated religious may actively engage in service to the world or they may live in a contemplative community set apart from the world. Poverty, chastity, and obedience are called "evangelical counsels" because they help the Gospel be proclaimed more effectively and with greater love. Religious men and women are dedicated to serving God and the people by being first rooted in communal prayer. Young people enter into religious communities in order to identify completely with the gifts of that particular community and become like a spiritual family. Religious sisters often see themselves as living like "spouses" of Jesus because they love so intensely.
Each particular community, while sharing many similar characteristics, also has a unique charism that identifies them and gives their lives a special focus. Some are large international orders; others are more local communities. Many follow special spiritual traditions of saints such as St. Francis and St. Clare, or St. Dominic and St. Catherine.
Check out Bishop Ricken's column in the Compass on The Gift of Consecrated Life.
Some religious are contemplative orders. Members focus on prayer, meditation, worship, and service within their community. These nuns and monks live apart from the rest of the world, yet pray and follow penitential practices for the world and the Church, as they engage in self-supporting work. Examples include the Trappists and Carmelites.
Many more religious men and women are part of active or apostolic orders. These communities are out in the world actively serving God's people in a wide variety of ways. These sisters, brothers, and religious order priests may be teachers, health care workers, parish ministers, missionaries, or people working with the poor. Their ministry is done in connection with their religious community, and in the context of prayer.
Priests may be either a religious order priest or a diocesan priest. A religious order priest may be involved in a great variety of ministries over time, yet always is connected to his religious order through community life and prayer. Most diocesan priests spend most or all of their priesthood serving the people of God within the parishes of the diocese.
This national collection is taken in our parishes each December. This is an important way for us to say Thank You to the many religious who served our parishes and schools over the years, and now need our assistance in their later years.

As a customer you may be seen as a potential target for fraudulent activities. However by arming yourself with information and tools you can protect yourself from becoming a fraud victim.
Do you know the four biggest fraud threats you face?
Electronic fraud
Email scams and fake websites
A number of Internet users have received emails claiming to be from financial institutions or other legitimate organisations.
Some emails inform the recipient that their security details and passwords need to be updated by logging into an authentic looking, but fake website. The purpose of these websites is to obtain your log on details such as your Personal Identification Number (PIN), User ID, and password to your Internet bank accounts.
Others may communicate security messages or attachments for you to download. If the email is from an unknown source, or if you are suspicious of the nature of the email, delete it immediately. Do no open any attachments or install any programs provided.
To ensure you are always viewing and transacting on a legitimate ANZ site, always access ANZ Internet Banking by typing the "anz.com" into the address bar. Never access Internet Banking by clicking on links provided in an email.
If you have any concerns, contact the ANZ Internet Banking Support Centre in your country.
This is an example only; the content and look of the emails change.
Job Scams
ANZ warns our customers and members of the public to be wary of various job scams advertised via the Internet.
Bogus overseas companies have been targeting unwitting victims to act as 'money transfer agents' in the sale of goods and services via methods such as job advertisements, unsolicited emails and online chat rooms.
'Employees' are asked to use their own bank accounts to transfer money overseas. In most cases, victims are instructed to send these funds abroad, and are promised a percentage of the transfer as commission.
The job advertisement websites look very professional and convincing. Please note some job advertisements contain trojan horses that allow the job advertiser to access the person's computer and collect their personal details, including bank account details. Exercise extreme caution if you receive an email from any person or company asking for your personal and banking details.
Finally, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Identity theft
Identity theft is where a dishonest individual or syndicate will gather your personal details in order to gain financial or other benefit, often leaving the owner of that identity in large debt, a negative credit history, and in some cases with legal implications.
Your information can be obtained in many ways:
- theft, including theft of mail from your mailbox at home
- by going through your garbage bins
- telephone calls where thieves use deception to obtain your details
- Internet.
The following can be used to assume your identity:
- date of birth
- utilities bills (phone, gas, water and rates notices)
- address.
How you can help protect your identity:
- report any loss or theft of documents such as driver licence, credit card or passport immediately
- keep tax records and other financial documents in a secure place
- cancel all unused or dormant accounts that you may have
- secure your mailbox with a padlock where possible.
Credit/debit card fraud
There are several ways that fraud can occur on your credit card or debit card account.
"Skimming" is a technique where information stored on your card's magnetic strip is stolen when your card is swiped during a sales transaction. Thieves are then able to reproduce fake cards using your stolen details. Once completed, fake replicated cards can be used to make purchases with your credit line.
Dishonest merchants can not only "skim" your card, but can also process unauthorised duplicate transactions using your card details.
Cards can also be lost or stolen by a third party during transit to your house. To protect you from this, you will receive your ANZ Card and PIN separately. Only one will be posted to you, and the other will be available for collection at your local branch.
Credit or debit card fraud can also occur when your card is lost or stolen and used by a third party to purchase goods or to withdraw cash from the card. It is important that you report any lost or stolen cards to ANZ immediately so that you can be issued with a new card number.
Protect your credit / debit card
- Memorise your personal identification number (PIN). Don't use the same PIN for all your cards, and don't choose your birth date or other easily identifiable number that you might carry with you.
- Check statements and call your credit card issuer immediately if you see anything suspicious on your bill.
- Do not let your credit card out of your sight at anytime.
- Card fraud can happen anywhere in the world; be vigilant when travelling overseas.
- Always sign your card in ink as soon as you receive it.
- Keep track of when new and reissued cards should arrive, and call the credit card issuer if they don't come on time.
- Make sure your mailbox is secure, and that only you and the postal carrier have access to it.
- Shred all credit card receipts and pre-approved credit card offers into small pieces before you throw them away. Keep your billing statements in a safe place.
- When you use your credit card online, make sure you are using a secure website. Look for a small key or padlock symbol at the bottom right of your browser's window.
- Never give your card number to strangers or telemarketers who call you on the phone. Don't give your card number unless you initiated the call.
Cheque fraud
Cheque fraud is the use of a cheque to obtain financial advantage by:
- altering the cheque (payee/amount) without appropriate authority
- theft of legitimate cheques and subsequent alteration or conversion
- duplication or counterfeiting of cheques
- the use of false invoices to solicit legitimate cheques
- depositing a cheque into a third party account without authority
- depositing a cheque for payment knowing that insufficient funds are in the account to cover the deposited cheque.
Cheque fraud can be conducted by internal and external parties to your accounts.
How to protect yourself from cheque fraud
Reconcile your account
- You are required to reconcile your accounts promptly and regularly. For business accounts, ensure independent overview by the appropriate level of management.
- For business accounts, separate the cheque writing/electronic payments and account reconciliation functions.
- If you hold business accounts, consider opening a separate account specifically for higher value cheques, so they can be easily monitored.
- Ensure that any damaged, old, or altered cheques are destroyed.
Signing of cheques
- Never sign blank cheques, only sign cheques after all details have been completed.
- Limit the number of signatures to your account to ensure control.
- Regularly review the account authorities.
- Consider implementing a 'two to sign' policy.
- Ensure that your signature is not affixed to documents that can be accessed by the general public.
- Keep all cheques secured when not in use to deter theft.
- Cheques must be completed in a way that deters fraudulent alteration.
- Ensure that a strong, bold and consistent font is used.
- Leave no gaps in the completion of the payee name, amount in words and in figures.
- Avoid use of acronyms for payee names.
- Use only permanent ink (preferably black).
Ordering and maintaining cheques
- If cheques are lost or stolen, contact ANZ immediately and ask them to load a 'Stop Payment'.
- Notify ANZ if you have not received an ordered cheque book.
- Ensure that any invoices are valid before payment.
- Mark all invoices as paid payment is made.
- Consider using electronic means of payment (if possible) for high value payments.
Protection of cheques
- Avoid sending high value cheques in the mail.
- Avoid sending cheques in window fronted envelopes.
- Ensure that your mailbox is secure to protect your incoming cheques.
- Avoid providing your banking details to external parties.
What to do if you suspect that you are a victim of cheque fraud
If you suspect that you are a victim of cheque fraud or any other type of fraud, or if you detect an irregularity in your account reconciliation, you must contact ANZ immediately.

Chat channel
Chat Channels were a big part of the Battle.net experience for Diablo 1 and Diablo 2. They will return to Battle.net in Diablo III, in public and private form.[1]
Chat channels were first enabled in the Diablo III beta in patch 13 on February 18, 2012, when they received a largely negative fan reaction[2] due to the tiny window size and the general lack of communication-friendly features. The system was actually robust in function, but it seemed to have been designed purely as a way for quick chat and game creation; not as a system for socializing or online communication, which is what most fans were hopin for.
Aside from Battle.net chat channels, players can use their Battle.net Friends List for communication, but only with people already on their list; it's not a tool to meet new people online. Official and fan forums are also useful tools for advertising item sales or meeting new friends to play with, and there are unofficial means of live chat, such as the live IRC chat run by fansite Diablo.IncGamers.com.
Chat Channels for Diablo III[edit | edit source]
Blizzard intended to phase chat channels out of B.net with their newer games, starting with Starcraft 2.[3] They did not include chat channels in the design, and resisted adding them until continuous player requests wore them down.
Chat channels were finally implemented into Starcraft 2 in January 2011,[4] 7 months after the game's release. After the long wait, their function proved highly-unpopular with players,[5] due to a lack of essential chat channel functions such as public chat rooms, private channels with mod support, guild support in chat, and more.
With that precedent, Diablo players were apprehensive, yet still hopeful for good chat support in Diablo III. The fact that chat channels would exist in Diablo III was first confirmed by Bashiok in October 2010, while the feature was under construction for the recently-released Starcraft 2.[6]
As mentioned above, chat channels with a minimal feature set debuted in Starcraft 2 in January 2011.[7] Fans accepted their initial form, expecting improvements over time. The fact that no such improvements were made during the next year is what brought fan dissatisfaction to a boil.[8]
The next news about Diablo III's chat channels came in September, 2011, via a Bashiok forum post.[9]
This promise seemed in doubt a few months later, when Bashiok said that only private chat channels would be present in Diablo III,[10] and that they would function much as Starcraft 2's did.
Immediate fan pushback spurred Bashiok to further explain why the Diablo III developers felt that public chat channels were a bad idea.[11]
This policy decision prompted massive fan outcry, with fifty-page comment threads sprouting on Battle.net and perplexed editorials[12] on fansites. After several days of this, Bashiok announced that there were public chat channels after all, and that he'd been in error when he said they had been removed from the game. [13]
While most fans were happy about this news, quite a few people suspected that Bashiok was being ordered to fall on his sword to cover for a policy change, and that his first comment, and later explanation, had been 100% correct that Blizzard was not planning to include public chat in Diablo III, just as they do not in Starcraft 2.
Whatever the case may be on that controversy, Diablo III's chat channels debuted in the Beta Patch 13 to general fan dismay. The main source of discontent was the small size and lacking appearance controls.[14]
Despite the negative fan reaction, the developers have said nothing about any plans to update or improve the Diablo III chat interface. Given that they've made no improvements to the much-reviled StarCraft 2 chat system in more than a year since it debuted, it's quite possible that the D3 chat will remain as it is through release, and perhaps long after.
Diablo III Chat Channel Screenshots[edit | edit source]
Sample images of the chat channel function, showing off the features and options, can be seen below.
There's even a short video that documents the D3 chat channel features.
Past Blizzard Game Chat Channels[edit | edit source]
All of Blizzard's Battle.net titles have featured some form of chat channel feature. Screenshots of the various interfaces can be seen below. All are taken from this post on Diablo.IncGamers.com.
Better Communication than Diablo 2[edit | edit source]
During the game's development, the D3 Team often expressed their desire for better matchmaking and game-finding options than were present in Diablo II. The Friends List and various quest-grouping game creation options take steps towards that goal, though the systems remain under development during the beta test.
- See the Multiplayer article for more details about game creation and player interaction via Battle.net
The developers want more and easier mutiplayer gaming in Diablo 3 and they have repeatedly mentioned their desire to create quick and easy (even automated) games that group like-level characters. Diablo III Game Director Jay Wilson spoke on this from Blizzcon 2009. [15]
Jay Wilson: We're not quite at that stage. [Talking about B.net D3 features.] Some of our big hooks are really good matchmaking, there was some poor matchmaking in Diablo 2, it was kind of esoteric and hard to use. We want a platform that puts you right next to someone else who's into the same thing as you, at the same level. We want you to be able to open up that friends list and say, oh, my friend Steve's killing Diablo, join! And you're right there next to them. We want players to be able to play together very, very easily. That's going to be a lot of work.
It's not in the game, so this is not a promise, but I can tell you that my desire for that is that you just be able to hit Escape, menu comes up, and you can say, I want to redo what we just did. I want to replay this part of the game, restart my game essentially, with all the same people. And I just get a confirmation thing, hey, you want to? If they say yes, we go, and if they say no, they stay in that same game.Somewhere a programmer's heart exploded, but that's our intent, that you shouldn't have to have this really convoluted way to replay content. One of the other things that we'd really like to focus on is, that the endgame not actually force you…well, it doesn't force you, it's your choice, but not make the most advantageous way to play be to do the same thing over and over again.
That sort of easy partying system was in the game by the start of the beta, and all the players in a game can easily create a new one together. There are also mechanisms to allow anyone on your Friends List to instantly join your game, and ways to chat to a Friend who is not in the game with you, or even to Friends who are playing other games over Battle.net.
Social Groups[edit | edit source]
As of the beta there are not any improvements or customizations to the Friends List, in terms of guild support, though Blizzard remains committed to providing some such options at some point. Bashiok elaborated on this point in a forum post from September 2011.[16]

An XML library for E, aiming to be the standard clean way to manipulate XML in E programs. By User:Kevin Reid.
Repository: https://github.com/kpreid/e-xml
Current state
The library provides XML quasiliterals, indexing them by XPath expressions, and coercion of text and attribute values to strings. It does not provide any proper way to read or write an XML document, or construct XML fragments.
Development is currently on hold; the most recent roadblock was constructing an efficient implementation of immutable trees with XPath support.

Ask yourself before your next major decision "If I were a character in a story, what decision would make the story more interesting?"
You'll be surprised at how differently you feel about the decision. You'll weigh safety over excitement, risk over comfort. You'll likely decide to love people more, quit your job, bring home roses, leap off the cliff into the water and so on. Great characters in exciting stories don't sit around on the couch playing it safe. They get up, move, try, fail and risk it all again.
Living a great story costs something. People who live great stories know failure isn't a judgment, it's an education.
In America, the stories we are living are boring. And people are suffering the emotional consequences of the American dream. They hate their lives. We live vicariously through television shows and gossip magazines because our lives are insufferably meaningless.
Whatever will work in a story will work in life, too. After all, we are each living a story. If our story is boring, it's because we've chosen a safe route.
What if your life could be as inspiring and as interesting as the shows we watch on television?
So, today, ask yourself "If I were a character in a story, what could I do right now to make my story interesting?"
And then do it. Why? Because you are a character in a story. You always have been.
The American dream got hijacked. It's time to take it back. Lets turn off the television and start living a better story today.
*At Storyline, we're fighting to live lives more interesting than television. We are creating a community of people who are planning and executing great stories. We will teach you the framework, but the story is all yours. Not only this, but we'll introduce you to real-life people who are taking chances and inspiring others with their lives. Join us.

The course will be offered at KU as both an on-campus class in MUR 575 and an off-campus course with sites to be determined by students' needs. Some community colleges and high schools have Polycom transmission capabilities and could be used for class locations; or the student can purchase software and use the internet to attend class. Both venues offer live, participatory class sessions that can conceivably occur anywhere in the world.
Course participants will have continuous opportunities to enhance their professional networking as well as learn from each other.
Practicing music educators and current graduate students in any music education discipline are potential participants for the course.
While this is an innovative approach to teaching and learning, the class will function as a typical class in virtually every way. All students will learn to operate the technology at the site and will be assigned presentations and/or papers that will be delivered to the class via the technology.
The instructor will provide technical assistance in learning the system. All participants will contribute in terms of teaching and learning.
The course is offered for 3 graduate hours of credit, 2 hours for class and 1 hour for assigned projects, papers, and/or presentations. The third hour will be devoted to out-of-class preparation and research.
This is a live interactive class offered at multiple sites simultaneously via the Kan-Ed distance system and the internet.
Students wishing to enroll at a distance site should contact the instructor immediately for a site. Call her at 785-864-9638 or send an e-mail to Dr. Debra Hedden at least 2 weeks prior to the 1st day of class to arrange for use of a distance site. Please provide your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, intended semester/year for attendance, and requested site location.
Both degree seeking and nondegree seeking graduate students may enroll, but distance students enroll through one section if attending at Edwards, another for "all other" sites. Students will be assessed the fees relevant to the section in which they enroll.

So MTV this week in between commercials and early morning videos (between around 6 and 8 a.m. est) is showing footage of current Bad Braisn jamming and such. I think I recognize Dr. Know and Daryl Jennifer, but am not sure about the rest. Is that HR? They do not sound like the Bad Brains I saw back in the 79 to 85 era...
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 6 February 2008 12:32 (eleven years ago) Permalink
HR is still in the band but by all accounts his contribution to live performances now is reminiscent of Weekend At Bernie's
― DJ Mencap, Wednesday, 6 February 2008 13:00 (eleven years ago) Permalink
The utter shock of seeing them with regularity on MTV was completely erased for me by the noodling nature of the clips. I would think that anyone who has only heard about how great the Bad Brains are would see those clips and wonder what the big deal is.

I've had Bad Brains forever but have never heard Rock For Light. Does anyone prefer RFL to the original and why?
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 12 February 2009 22:45 (ten years ago) Permalink
rock for light is longer and has more great songs (including alot of which are on s/t) but has worse production than s/t and does have some shit songs. you can't really go wrong though, seeing as s/t is the single greatest fucking punk album ever.

Was just going to mention the '87 Florida set, odd that it appeared today. Great great set, band's on fire.
Hitched the '89 UK tour. Was fun. Gabba of Chaos Uk wound up getting a lift from somewhere near Bristol to the top of the M5 in a truck with a racist driver. Bumped into him as he got out of the cab at hitching point.
Trying to think what the name of the Best of cd which seems to have pretty decent sound is. What's on my walkman comes from there, think it includes Rock For Light stuff.

I have listened to thousands of bands in my life. When people ask me what my favorite band is, I say that I have heard so much music I cannot really narrow down a list to one single favorite. However, if you held a gun to my head, the first thing out of my mouth would be the Bad Brains and I'd be okay with that.
I often said that the ROIR tape was the best hardcore album ever but "I Against I" was the best album ever. A little hyperbole, but not that much now that I think about it.
Those videos are great! The old one, the one from '87, just amazing!
I got to see the original lineup of the band a few times. The last was in Cleveland in 2002 I think, a reunion tour that had as support a new band featuring the original Faith No More Singer (he was a chef in Cleveland by then!) and HR spent the whole show in a rocking chair on the stage. Very bizarre but unsurprisingly so.
In the article in Spin that xhuxk posted above (some time ago), the photo they used is the one from the inside of the 'I Against I' vinyl. The skinheaded dude right under the drum kit is Raybeez from Warzone. He was doing security at that early show.
Many years later, he and I became friendly in New York and he did security for all the shows at The Ritz and Roseland. I caught the Bad Brains at the latter venue and he was up front. I went up to him and said "Man, it's like that photo" and he smiled, knowing what I was talking about, and said he wouldn't rather be anywhere but right there.
Unbelievably amazing band and a big part of my life.

Saw the movie doc "Bad Brains: A Band from DC" last night. Well-made movie with awesome footage of early years Bad Brains and coverage of the sadness that is HR circa 2012, struggling with mental health issues. HR (wearing a woman's wig) showed up for both of the 2 showings of the movie. Saturday night, Mark Anderson asked HR in the q and a portion afterwards about his health, and he insisted he was fine.

Here's a bit from what I wrote about that show:
An eerily docile H.R. received a hero's welcome when he waltzed on stage, an unsettling grin giving way to his effective if somewhat distracted recital of the band's "Attitude." Dr. Know's blazing leads flew in and around the rhythmic knots tied by Hudson and Jenifer, while H.R. mainly stood still behind the microphone, his hands clasped in front of him as if in meditation. Hey, if that's what it takes to keep him from throwing himself at the crowd, so be it.

Today, for the nth time, I saw a child in the ED who had a viral illness characterized by fever, runny nose, and a nonspecific rash, who was not immunized. The parents informed me that they had concerns about autism and mercury in vaccines and had elected to pursue "natural immunity."
I gritted my teeth against the flood of invective that threatened to pour forth (the last thing I need is more complaints), muttered a vaguely contemptuous "That's an interesting strategy," and moved on. The kid was fine and went home. Ironically, the parents were irritated not to be prescribed antibiotics. It boggles the mind.
The concerns about Thimerosal and autism have been well-documented, most notably in an article by Robert F Kennedy, Jr. in a Salon/Rolling Stone article which has since been debunked and contradicted by numerous sources, including the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Institute of Medicine. Orac, of Respectful Insolence, has a nice line-by-line rebuttal. This hasn't stopped Kennedy or his fellow-travelers, who cry "conspiracy" and "cover-up," and continue to spread their misinformation and hysteria. As a result, immunity rates worldwide are declining. In Britain, it has been reported that immunization rates to measles, mumps, and rubella (the most commonly implicated jabs), have fallen as low as 77%, below the level required to sustain herd immunity. Prime Minister Tony Blair refused to publicly confirm whether his newborn child had recieved the vaccine. The consequences are now coming to pass, predictably, and tragically.
There have been confirmed outbreaks of Measles in the UK, as well as Germany, and most recently in Massachusetts. Thousands of cases have been reported. Complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and even some deaths have been reported. (In fairness, it seems that only the English, Irish, and German outbreaks are thought to be in large part due to inadequate immunization practices; the Boston outbreak is apparently due to faulty vaccines used in the 60's and worldwide travel.) This, from a disease that had been thought to be all-but-eradicated only a few years ago.
I have never seen a case of measles in clinical practice. I guess I am going to have to make sure I know what it looks like, because by all evidence, I will be seeing it in a few years.

I enjoy your blog. You pi$$ me off and irritate me to no end, but I do enjoy reading your material and have learned from you.ReplyDelete
My daughter believes the way your parents in this article do. I neither agree nor disagree. I have found with grown children, it is sometimes (sometimes being the operative word) best to just "hush".
There was one incident I became minimally involved in. She had her last daughter at home. This was her 3rd child and she was 27, healthy and she and hubby were "prepared".
When she took that brand new baby for her "newborn" check up 2 days after birth, she and her family were treated horribly by the pediatrician for the "unthinkable" act of giving birth at home. I won't go into details unless someone wants to know, but it was not pretty what they were put through over the course of the next two days, and without cause since all the unnecessary tests and painful procedures she put that baby through (with threats of getting the child welfare people involved if they didn't cooperate) all came out fine.
I wish that doctor had kept her mouth shut and (her mind open) like you chose to, then she would not have gotten that nasty letter from Granny (I know...she probably didn't even read it past the first flaming sentence. But Granny felt better.)
Pros and cons abound, however this is still America and it was their choice. The very thing she had tried to get away from by birthing at home wound up happening anyway.
Keep the meat movin.....
I really enjoy your blog, now that I've found it!ReplyDelete
I'm probably the type of parent that you can't stand, but perhaps not. I haven't given every innoculation available to my children, but they have had some. And no, the mercury thing doesn't even remotely bother me (I mean, how much mercury is in tunafish? Do we stay away from that too??). But I was really taken aback by the "chicken pox vaccine". Since when do we innoculate for something that mild and generally benign? Even my brother had an awful case of it, but it wasn't vaccine-quality. What happened to the days of playing with your friends "so you can catch it"?
So I got to thinking: What AM I vaccinating my children against? And a good many of the vaccines are legitimate. Tetanus can be fatal or debilitating. Polio, no brainer. Diptheria, scary. But rubella? Not a huge deal. Are there exceptions? Sure. As there are in chicken pox. But to the point where we need to vaccinate against it? Maybe not. Let's not even get started on Hep B for infants!!
Are we going to start vaccinating against 5ths Disease? Roseola? The sniffles?? That'd be crazy, and I dare say that health is not the main factor in a vaccine for a benign human malady such as those. Perhaps lost days at work for the parent? NOW I think we're on to something.
There are too many children that have had bad reactions (leaving autism out of it) to vaccines to not ask questions. And I'm appalled that docs expect us to accept these things blindly like lemmings (sorry, the drug company info they give out is biased). I, for one, am trying to be as informed as possible. Sometimes, that includes not making popular decisions.
At least, until I know more.
(And, no, I'm not a big one for antibiotics either. Recent studies seem to be backing me up on that one!)
Thanks for posting, and I'm glad that I can entertain and . . . um . . . provoke you. I'm surprised that your daughter got so much grief about the home delivery. They're pretty uncommon these days, and I'm no fan (being the father of a child who had cord compression and would have died without a crash c-section), but I'm sorry to see it being held as tantamount to child abuse.
Thanks for commenting. You're right that chicken pox is a more controversial vaccine. However, when you look at the big picture, it clearly is worth it. For example, my three-year-old got chicken pox despite the vaccine (about 10% of kids will). He was barely sick at all, it lasted maybe one day, had fewer than 20 spots (the average kid has 100-200), and no scarring. So I am damn glad we got the vaccine. And do remember that 1/100,000 kids will die from chicken pox. A small number -- about 100/year, before the vaccine. But if it's your kid?
I can't wait to hear the debate over the HPV vaccine that's coming out. . .
BTW, I don't "hate" parents like you. If nothing else, you're interested enough to ask questions and (it would seem) reasonable enough to listen to the answers. I get very frustrated seeing folks who take the anti-immunization rhetoric as a matter of religious faith, partly because they are immune to persuasion, and partly because I work in the ER which is not a good environment to have a discussion on the merits.
You know, we should also take into account children with serious illness. I have one handicapped child that I would not NOT vaccinate, only because she has enough complications as it is. She can't just take OTC remedies to alleviate her symptoms, like many children can.ReplyDelete
I wonder if that 1/100,000 child had other serious complications to exacerbate their ability to fight off something like chicken pox. If that info was known, then perhaps the stats are far more remote than we think (ie: 1/1000000 of previously healthy children). I'd be interested to know that someday.
(BTW: I didn't say hate. You never really gave that impression with your post to begin with. Irritated maybe ;)
Sorry I missed this post when you first posted it.ReplyDelete
I wonder what bad would have occurred if you had simply said to the parents "gee, that's a really bad idea"?
wonder what bad would have occurred if you had simply said to the parents "gee, that's a really bad idea"?ReplyDelete
Well, the worst thing (for me) would that it would chew up a lot of time to have that discussion, on an irrelevant-for-the-moment topic, and time is in fact the most important currency in the ED.
Also, it likely would have been wasted time -- how likely I am, a total stranger, to change their minds? Obviously, they have thought about it and decided not to immunize, probably in spite of the advice from a pediatrologist they know and trust better than me. And it may well have pissed them off enough to generate a complaint (and the hospital administration hates complaints.
So I leave it be, and try to focus efforts where they are more likely to have an effect -- I do ask every smoker if they are planning to quit, and I often do alcohol counseling. Folks seem more open to that sort of intervention in the ED.
"But rubella? Not a huge deal. Are there exceptions? Sure. As there are in chicken pox. But to the point where we need to vaccinate against it? Maybe not."ReplyDelete
My understanding is that the reason we vaccinate against rubella is not only for the children getting vacinated, but much more importantly to stop outbreaks of rubella in the community. Rubella can cause deafness, mental retardation, and heart defects in fetuses when contracted by the mother during the first trimester.

Five face murder charges in India gang-rape case
The sixth suspect in the case that has outraged the country is under 18 and a juvenile.
Police ordered a bone test for the sixth accused to confirm his age, according to a police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to talk to reporters.
Under Indian law, a juvenile cannot be prosecuted for murder.
New Delhi police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said on Tuesday that a charge-sheet in the case will be filed in court on Thursday. The suspects face the death penalty if convicted.
The 23-year-old physiotherapy student died last week in a Singapore hospital where she had been sent for emergency treatment after the crime in India's capital on December 16. The case has triggered protests across India and raised questions about lax attitudes by police toward sexual crimes.
Protesters and politicians from across the spectrum called for a special session of Parliament to pass new laws to increase punishments for rapists - including possible chemical castration - and to set up fast-track courts to deal with rape cases within 90 days.
Thousands of Indians have lit candles, held prayer meetings and marched through various cities and towns to express their grief and demand stronger protection for women and the death penalty for rape, which is now punishable by a maximum of life imprisonment.
On Monday, the Indian army and navy cancelled their New Year's celebrations, as did Sonia Gandhi, head of the ruling Congress party.
Several hotels and clubs across the capital also did not hold their usual parties.
Women face daily harassment across India, including catcalls on the streets and groping and touching on public transport. – Sapa-AP

Watch how to make this recipe.
Bring the broth to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan. Add the porcini mushrooms. Set aside until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Keep the broth warm over very low heat.
Melt the butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add olive oil. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the white mushrooms and garlic. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the porcini mushrooms to a cutting board. Finely chop the mushrooms and add to the saucepan. Saute until the mushrooms are tender and the juices evaporate, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice and let it toast for a few minutes. Add the wine; cook until the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of hot broth; simmer over medium-low heat until the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook until the rice is just tender and the mixture is creamy, adding more broth by cupfuls and stirring often, about 28 minutes (the rice will absorb 6 to 8 cups of broth). Stir in the peas. Mix in the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

ECO LED Initiative
Edison International provided a $25,000 grant in the 2011-12 academic year to integrate service learning into a variety of STEM courses. Areas of focus included: habitat restoration and protection of endangered and threatened plants and animals; environmental education, particularly for youth and families; and water quality and storm water management. This initiative, Energizing Career Opportunities through Local Education and Development (ECO LED), had great success in its pilot efforts.
In Spring 2012, four service-learning courses were offered that involved 76 CSU students in service and learning activities to "sustain a quality environment."
- Aquatic Ecology at Fresno State
- Mine Reclamation at Fresno State
- Biogeography of Southern California at CSU Dominguez Hills
- Water and Conflict in the West at CSU Channel Islands
As reported by outside evaluation firm, Cobblestone Applied Research & Evaluation, there were positive effects on students' education, the environment, and community partnerships. Read the full Evaluation Final Report (.pdf).

Hair history
|Photo by Khalid Mahmood
Yes, my hair is kind of red right now, especially the parts that were formerly gray. But even my formerly gray, now red parts are not as carrot-colored as this lady's hair. (Thank goodness!)
When I was in my 20s, my girlfriend and hairdresser Pat introduced me to henna. She sold me the packets of henna powder at a cheap price, and I used it every now and then for several years. It gave my hair a slightly red glow and made it feel thicker. It was fun!
Then I grew up, got busy, and had children. For years, I kept my hair long and wore it in a single braid down my back. It was a quick, tidy style that kept the hair out of my eyes.
About six or seven years ago, I had my hair cut to shoulder length. Over the next several years, I gradually cut it shorter and shorter, and now it's finally short enough that it's out of my eyes again. (I really can't stand my hair falling into my face.)
Over the past decade, I've been getting a few more gray hairs all the time. My hair is still mostly dark, but my sideburns are going gray and the rest of my hair is sprinkled with gray and white. The gray doesn't bother me -- I call it my "natural highlights." And I've always sworn that I would never color my hair because I don't want the fuss of keeping it colored.
That changed a few months ago. Keely told me that she had found an herbs and botannicals website that sold henna by the pound. She said that she had ordered a pound and she was going to henna her hair. I heard myself say, "Oh! Let's do my hair too!"
Keely read online about different methods of applying henna to hair, and she decided we'd mix the henna powder with lemon juice. She said she expected the henna to really "take" because that's the same way that wools are dyed (with an acid.)
And she was right. It was the most effective henna I've ever used! My hair turned surprisingly reddish and even looked several shades lighter than my usual dark brown. I think the lemon juice bleached it a little. All my gray hairs turned red, so my sideburns were quite red. It was sort of an edgy look, compared to my usual self. And my eyes looked very blue with my new hair color.
|What I need when I get tired of my red look...
I asked Isaac today what he thought about little old ladies with red hair. He avoided saying anything derogatory. My husband patted me this morning and said that I'm always beautiful. Keely is enthusiastic about my redhead look. So, in this absence of criticism, I must say that henna is still fun.
And Keely's a redhead too. Henna with lemon juice really takes on her light hair, and the color looks good on her! I told her she should say she got her red hair from her mother.

Financial Aid Basics
Key to Success: Understanding
All schools that accept Title IV Federal funding are required to determine a Cost of Attendance (COA). The required federal calculation used to determine a student's "financial need" is determined by subtracting the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number from the school's COA number. Davenport University is then able to award students various types of aid based on their "need."
If you feel that your EFC no longer reflects your current financial situation, review the information listed under "Factors that Could Change your Eligibility" section and review the options offered under the Special Considerations heading.
Approach to Financial Aid
- Do not give up too soon. Some people are intimidated by the forms and process. It is all very manageable, and we can help. Keep in mind that a little bit of time now could result in you receiving some financial aid that you did not know about.
- Learn what's available through federal, state, Davenport and other sources. Read through the entire section on Types of Financial Aid. Many agencies, banks, insurance companies, corporations, foundations, etc. have scholarship programs. Be sure to look through our section on Other Resources.
- Complete the FAFSA each year. This starts the process for any federal and state programs and most of Davenport's scholarships as well. The FAFSA is needed even for work study and all federal government student loans.
- Keep on top of any emails regarding your financial aid and respond quickly so that you can avoid unnecessary delays.
- Consider loans as an option. Loans are an option; however, we encourage students to borrow only what is needed to pay your direct costs. Meet with a financial aid counselor to develop a plan for managing your loans
- If you pursue loans, you will need to complete a Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note. More information is in our Loans section of the web site.
- Apply for a work study job. Some of these jobs are on a Davenport campus, and some are with non-profit agencies in the communities where Davenport has a campus.

Look, I see dude working, I really do. New Orleans has been through a rough stretch and this is the first world title in any sport that town has ever had so why not celebrate?
But there's an expression in American sports. Act like you've been here before. When the St. Louis Cardinals make the World Series, you don't see ministers in my home town rocking the birds on the bat on their chasubles or copes.
Want to work Drew Brees or Reggie Bush into your sermon? Fine. Want to insert a prayer for a good pass rush? Go for it. But don't come out for Christian worship looking like you're going to head over to the stadium after church without changing your clothes.
CORRECTION: A commenter informs me that this gentleman is an Episcopalian from Thibodaux, Louisiana rather than New Orleans.

Preliminary work on the East "O" Street project is scheduled to start Monday, February 18. It will include the temporary closure of business driveways on the south side of "O" Street between 53rd Street and Cotner Boulevard. Customers will be able to access the businesses through side streets and the alley running between 53rd and 56th streets.
The driveways will be blocked because Constructors Inc. is closing the right-hand lane of eastbound traffic to leave room for workers and equipment. The contractor will cut out curbs and sidewalks on the south side of "O" Street and lay temporary asphalt pavement. The temporary pavement will make room for a new lane of traffic when Constructors Inc. shifts all "O" Street traffic to the south side of the street March 18. At that time Constructors will start demolishing and reconstructing the north side (westbound) lanes.
A public information meeting on the construction is set for 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, March 7 in the cafeteria of Eastridge Elementary School, 6245 "L" Street. Representatives from the City Public Works and Utilities Department, The Schemmer Associates, and Constructors Inc. will be available to answer questions from the public in an open-house setting.

Yes I've grown so much in my blogging in the past year. You're much more established than I, of course--I'm not one for posting looks as much, but I've worked my ASS off promoting for the type of blogging I do. People who down us fashion bloggers because they don't understand the work we put into it and think it's a vanity thing...
I also am in the same boat, I have no clue what I'm doing but I guess we all figure it out as we go along. I am always genuinely surprised to see see my fan base growing. You're doing great, and you have very awesome looks too!

I love how entergetic you are as a blogger, in your writing, i can just imagine how you talk in real life, and it would be a pleasure to meet you. its a bummer you can't go to NY, but if it makes it any better you look killer in this outfit gurl. hope you are feeling better!

that is one cool find - the crochet dress. cute look overall. even though you say you don't know what you're doing blog-wise, i think you are very successful at it :)

In my opinion your 'COol' points is way higher than 95% of some of the so called 'hyped' bloggers. Just stay you, change for no one , those of us that recognize your awesomeness won't care. I don't think you have to have it all figured out. I see alot of fashion bloggers are selling their integrity everyday for a couple hundred faceless hype and chic points and it is just disgusting. Substance will triumph every time. I don't think it is about having the most recognizable or marketable blog even or becoming accomplished in the blogger circle. you don't have to 'know what you are doing' if you are doing YOU. one thing is clear, you got great style and a great eye for putting things together, you have earned and deserved every hype you have gotten so i am sure that matters to you more than anything. NYFW will be there every season, most bloggers won't be, but at the rate you are going you don't even need any hype to be Seen. your style is glorious!!!
that said, this look is wicked!! the crochet dress deserves its own entry so i won't even start.
Stay Awesome :)

1) The iconostasis is beautiful...this is a small church, but I could not take my eyes off the icons throughout the Divine Liturgy. I feel that the icons are more intense than Catholic statuary, almost as if Jesus, Mary, and the saints were staring at me, catching my eye, forcing me to interact with them. Is this a permissible interpretation? Anyhow, they were quite beautiful.
2) I enjoyed the chanting...I'm already a huge fan of Gregorian chant, and wish the Catholic church had more of it still. The choir was nice, sometimes it sounded like it veered from an 'eastern' sound to more of a 'gospel' sound, if that makes sense. I had trouble figuring out when it was just the choir singing or when everyone would join in. But that's partly because I was just soaking it in while my wife was the one reading along with the book they had.
3) I loved how the priest faced away from us. At several points, he had his hands raised, and there was this huge icon of Mary in the back behind the altar, with a child Jesus, and she had her hands spread back at him, like they were both invoking prayers at the same time in the direction of the altar. Not sure if it was intentional, but the symmetry was striking.
4) There was a LOT of chanting, hymn-singing, and praying going on. =) So much that it seemed to go fast, as the prayer moved into a chant and then into a prayer again. I'm sure a lot of my confusion comes from not knowing the meaning of what is going on, but it almost seemed cluttered, if I can apologize for saying it like that. I guess coming from a Catholic Mass, where it is shorter and each prayer is more isolated, that's how I get that impression. Again, I loved the beauty of the chanting and the prayers, it was just a lot going on in rapid succession. Forgive my ignorance...
5) People crossed themselves a lot during the service...I think in the typical Mass I attend, it's maybe 2-3 times? In this Divine Liturgy, I'd have to say at least 10? There were a lot of symbolic moments going on...gestures, how the priest held the gospel book, the crossing, movement, etc. I feel like it's a rich tapestry I haven't even begun to unpack. One part I liked was when the priest walked around the congregation with two (chalices?) covered by clothes. An Orthodox friend at work said this was the Great Entrance? I really liked that ritual even if I'm not sure what it entails.
6) A couple of times, people handed us 'blessed bread'? We weren't sure if we were to eat this or save this during the service. It was a very nice thing, I have to say...I know many times, people feel excluded when they can't receive communion...this was a way to balance the need to include all with the need for the Eucharist as a sign of unity.
7) The folks were friendly, a couple of them said hello afterwards, invited us to the Coffee Hour, and hoped to see us again. I admit my wife and I were really shy and left after the service, but politely. We agreed it was nice, but we're really not sure where we're at with converting. I've been Catholic for 4 years now, it's a bigger church, we know everybody, there's all sorts of opportunities for social/devotional involvement (Knights of Columbus, Lay Carmelites, bible study, etc). This Orthodox church is probably a 20-min drive versus 5-min for our Catholic Church. Sometimes I wonder if I could attend both, and just receive at my Catholic Church. The Orthodox liturgy is just that striking.
It lasted an hour and a half, a bit longer than the usual hour-long Mass, but not much. I didn't feel like I stood too long though as there was no kneeling or prostrations, probably due to the gym-style seating they had.
The Episcopallian road is easy and wide, for many go through it to find destruction. lol sorry channeling Isa.
Hello again, thanks for your kind responses. I kept them in mind as I contemplated going to Divine Liturgy. I ended up finally attending yesterday after chickening out for a couple weeks (my wife asked to come...she's a cradle Roman Catholic). A few observations, not necessarily in any organized manner:...
It lasted an hour and a half, a bit longer than the usual hour-long Mass, but not much. I didn't feel like I stood too long though as there was no kneeling or prostrations, probably due to the gym-style seating they had.

Birthdays are a good time to find out just how much the people you work with really like you. In TransWorld Snowboarding Director Of Sales And Marketing Charlie Anderson's case, the staff likes him a lot. For his birthday, all the women in the advertising department donned T-shirts that had Charlie's Angels printed across the front, with a 31 on the sleeve, signifying his 31st birthday.
In addition, the staff took the birthday boy to lunch, and reportedly made him drink a couple of beers in celebration. That would have been fine if Charlie didn't have to head back to the office for several afternoon meetings, which he barely stayed awake for. But that's the price of an office birthday sometimes.

BEIJING — China's coldest winter in nearly three decades sent vegetable prices soaring and drove inflation to a seven-month high in December.
Consumer prices rose 2.5% from December a year earlier, China's National Bureau of Statistics said Friday, up from 2% year-over-year growth in November.
A key reason for concern is that rising inflation could restrict China's ability to stimulate growth if its tepid recovery loses momentum.
Higher food prices also worry the Chinese government because discontent rises when poorer people have to pay a bigger share of their income on food. Chinese households spend more than 20% of their earnings on food, or more than three times as much as U.S. households spend, according to the American Enterprise Institute.
