That Tim Tebow guy is something else. You would think with all of the New York City media following him around these days, that it would be hard for him to sneak off and make some kind of radical change in his religious life. I am referring, of course, to his decision to become a Roman Catholic.
Wait, you didn't hear about that?
That is certainly one easy interpretation of this rather jarring headline on the CBS Sports website.
Tebow to speak at Easter mass in Texas
Yes, that says what you thought it said -- although the lower-case "m" in Mass is a bit strange. Here's the short news clip under that headline:
New Jets QB Tim Tebow is going to be a guest speaker at Easter mass at a church in Texas, according to KVUE-TV in Austin. The church is expecting 30,000 people to attend the event, which normally draws closer to 7,500. Tebow is known as much for his strong Christian beliefs as he is for his football talent.
However, when one visits the KVUE website, there is no sign of the word "mass" or "Mass" at all.
I assume that, at some point, the story simply said that Tebow would be speaking at a "massive" Easter service and some print-challenged producer cut the story down to size a bit too much. Surely there are people at CBS Sports who have heard of the Reformation and know a little bit about Catholics and Protestants and the differences between these approaches to Christian faith?
But back to KVUE-TV. At the moment, the station has the following online:
GEORGETOWN -- One of the biggest names in sports who also happens to be a devout Christian is heading to Georgetown for Easter Sunday.
On Wednesday, the first signs of Tim Tebow fever hitting Georgetown could be seen on 60 acres at the Celebration Church. Scaffolding and trellises were erected Wednesday on the church's property for the Tebow visit. The New York Jets quarterback will speak for 20 minutes during an outdoor worship service that could draw as many as 30,000 people for the Easter Service beginning at 10 a.m.
"Obviously it's our Super Bowl," said Joe Champion, pastor at the Celebration Church. "Easter is the resurrection of Christ, which we celebrate in our faith. We feel like it's going to be a testimony to the community. We want it to be a family event." ...
Pastor Champion still doesn't know exactly why his congregation was chosen by the Tebow camp as a place for him to speak. The pastor did say that Easter was not the original date chosen by Tebow's representatives.
Etc., etc. I'll admit that this sounds like a rather massive service. It also sounds absolutely megachurch Protestant, from A to Z.
This is not rocket science folks. A click or two with a mouse yields browser results that would straighten anything out in somewhere between 20 and 30 seconds.
Rather embarrassing, methinks.

Prospect Q&A: Paxton back on track
Mariners prospect nearly ready for Majors after draft snafu
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | March 1, 2012 5:05 AM
Paxton, a native of Vancouver, was originally drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the first round of the 2009 Draft. After being unable to come to terms on a contract with the club, the 23-year-old left-hander was not allowed to return to the University of Kentucky's baseball team on the basis of his relationship with agent Scott Boras.
Instead, Paxton went back into the Draft in '10, when he was scooped up by the Mariners in the fourth round. He signed with the club in March 2011 and went on to have a very strong campaign, going 6-3 with a 2.37 ERA and 131 strikeouts in 17 starts between Class A Clinton and Double-A Jackson.
Seattle's No. 2 pitching prospect took time out of his first full Spring Training to talk about his lost season, his friendship with Mike Moustakas and getting a chance to play for his favorite team.
MiLB.com: How tough was it to not pitch in 2010?
James Paxton: It was tough to not be able to pitch competitively for a while there. I threw a lot of bullpens and kept on working on my craft. It was definitely different not competing in games and only getting 17 innings playing independent ball in Grand Prairie (Texas). It took me a little while to get back into it and shake the rust off it, but I'm definitely feeling good now and am ready to go.
MiLB.com: Were you worried about the effect not pitching collegiately in 2010 would have on your draft position?
Paxton: I wasn't really thinking about it too much. All I can do is go out there and pitch. The circumstances were what they were, and I'm really happy with where I'm at right now.
MiLB.com: All things considered, how pleased were you with your 2011 season?
Paxton: I thought it was good. My first season -- kind of my first season in a while -- I felt good about it. I cut down on my walks toward the end of the season after I had some time in Clinton and got to work with Rich Dorman, the pitching coach there, and then went to Double-A and furthered myself there working with Lance Painter. Things came along nicely and I ended up being pleased with the season I had.
MiLB.com: You developed a friendship in 2010 with Kansas City's Mike Moustakas. How did that come about?
Paxton: I was training down in California down at the Boras complex and needed a place to stay, and Mike had an extra room. He offered me to stay in his place and I did. He invited me back to come stay with him this year. We've become pretty good friends -- he's a great guy to be friends with.
MiLB.com: What have you learned from him about playing in the Majors?
Paxton: Biggest thing I got from him is to be yourself and do your thing and not change too many things. It's just another level, and he says to just stay yourself and keep working hard.
MiLB.com: You signed in March 2011, so this is your first full Spring Training experience. How is it going?
Paxton: It's awesome to come into big league Spring Training and be here from the start. There are some really good guys in camp, some veteran guys that you get to watch and learn from. I couldn't be more excited to be where I'm at right now.
MiLB.com: Are there any pitchers in particular you like to watch and try to learn from?
Paxton: I've been watching all kinds of guys right now. Some of the guys that have been around for a while, especially guys like Kevin Millwood. Obviously, you're watching guys like Felix [Hernandez] and [Jason] Vargas, guys that have been around a while and know what to do. You watch them and see how they handle their business.
MiLB.com: There's been some talk about you possibly making the Majors out of Spring Training, like Michael Pineda did last season. What do you think about that?
Paxton: I mean that's awesome, I think that will be great for me. But you don't know what's going to happen. I haven't had any conversations with [manager Eric] Wedge or [pitching coach Carl] Willis about where I'm going to be at the start of the season. It's just more of a thing where I can go out there and do the best I can and see where I end up.
MiLB.com: Some scouting reports say that your changeup is behind your fastball and curveball. Where would you say it is?
Paxton: I spent a lot of time this offseason working on my changeup and I am starting to feel a lot more comfortable with it. I'm keeping my arm speed up and I'm really looking forward to using it this year a lot more. In the bullpen sessions I'm having, I'm throwing it more consistently for strikes. I used it in an intrasquad game [Wednesday] for strikes.
MiLB.com: Did you have a team you grew up rooting for?
Paxton: Seattle was the team I grew up rooting for. I was only three hours north of Seattle, had some family in Seattle, so it was the closest place for us to go watch baseball games. They were always on TV. It was really cool to have them that close.
MiLB.com: It's got to be pretty amazing for you to be playing for them.
Paxton: Definitely, it was really cool to get drafted by them, being so close to home, and I'm really excited to be so close to Vancouver and have friends and family be able to come and watch at some point when I make it to Seattle.
MiLB.com: Did you play any other sports growing up?
Paxton: No, I didn't. Baseball was always my sport. I played soccer really young and I swam a little bit, but competitively past the age of 13, it was all baseball.
MiLB.com: Did you have an idea at that point you had a shot at a pro baseball career?
Paxton: Not at all. At 13 years old, I was still playing house league. I ended up in the [British Columbia] Premiere Baseball League for the North Delta Blue Jays, and that's kind of when college became a big thing for me. The opportunities were out there. I started hearing more about it and that was where I wanted to go. As college got along, [there was] talk about going pro, and it led to a pretty good thing for me.
MiLB.com: How did you end up at the University of Kentucky?
Paxton: I played for the Junior National Team for Canada, and I'm pretty sure some of the coaches knew the pitching coach of Kentucky. He came up and saw me pitch. I guess he liked what he saw, because they gave me an offer and I took it. It was pretty much one of the only offers I had from a Division I school to play college out of high school.
MiLB.com: What was your favorite ballpark to pitch in as a visitor last season?
Paxton: I think my favorite ballpark I had was when I was playing in the Midwest League for Clinton and we went to Fort Wayne, Indiana. They have a brand new ballpark (Parkview Field) there and it's an amazing field, it looked like a Triple-A ballpark.
MiLB.com: What do you like to do on an off-day?
Paxton: We don't get a whole lot of them right now, but just taking it easy, just relaxing, trying to rest up for the next day and that kind of thing. Getting the sleep in, that kind of thing. For the most part, just relaxing.
MiLB.com: What about during the offseason?
Paxton: I enjoy fishing. My grandparents have a cabin in the Gulf Islands, and I go up there and fish with my grandpa. I bring some friends up here and there and do some fishing. It's one of the things I like to do on the weekends.

When Apple announced their free iCloud service at WWDC 2011, users of the previous, paid, MobileMe service were given a temporary boost in storage. The extra storage was previously set to expire in June of 2012. According to a recent change in Apple's MobileMe to iCloud transition FAQ, however, that's now been extended until September.
MobileMe members with 20GB of purchased storage receive a complimentary iCloud storage upgrade of 20GB, and accounts with additional purchased storage (40GB to 60GB) receive a complimentary upgrade of 50GB after moving to iCloud. These free upgrades are good through September 30th, 2012. After that date, you can continue the upgrade at the regular price or let it expire and use the free 5GB plan.
The extra storage is meant as a way to encourage MobileMe users to transition to iCloud faster -- as is the recent offer of a free OS X Snow Leopard upgrade for OS X Leopard users.
While Photo Stream and iTunes in the Cloud don't count towards the iCloud storage limits, mail, Documents in the Cloud, and backups do. If you're currently enjoying the extra storage Apple provides MobileMe users, you have several extra months to enjoy it. After that, you'll have to decide if you want to keep paying for it or not.
There are several ways to cut down on the amount of storage you're using -- especially turning off Camera Roll backup. Check out the iCloud links below for more.
- How to manually manage what gets backed up to iCloud
- How to buy more iCloud storage
- How to downgrade your iCloud storage

StarKid's Lauren Lopez: How To Launch A Starship And Keep It Flying
Do you remember your college theater days? How many friends from your drama club have you kept in contact with? Ask these questions to University of Michigan alumna Lauren Lopez; we bet her quick answer would be "mostly all of them." For Lopez and her former college theater buddies, who include Glee star Darren Criss, nothing's more fun than setting up their own theater company, StarKid Productions.
Launched in 2009 at the University of Michigan's School of Music, Theater, and Dance, StarKid Productions' first-ever show, A Very Potter Musical (AVPM), a parody based on J.K. Rowling's phenomenally successful book franchise and starring Criss as Harry Potter, was bound for an unprecedented worldwide success. AVPM's YouTube version reached more than eight million views; and Entertainment Weekly listed it as one of the Top 10 Best Viral Videos of 2009.
"We've an incredible following in this very specific niche of people. I think they're amazing. We actually always thought that StarKid's fan base was much younger than it is. But if you look at our views on YouTube, our biggest fans are 18 to 25. It just so happened that the most visible, the most exuberant, and the most excited ones are about, I think, 14 to 18, 14 to 16. They're the ones most likely to come out for all of our events, and to purchase merchandise, and all that stuff," said Lopez, who was recently in New York City to star in a staged reading of another parody, Twilight: The Musical (produced by Dreamcatcher Entertainment), and to watch StarKid buddy Criss make his Broadway debut in the current revival of the musical comedy How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.
"StarKid didn't think of doing a parody of Twilight. We kind of went looking at different options," she added.
Right on the heels of AVPM, Lopez - who juggles her job as one of StarKid Productions' company managers and as one of its resident actors - and her former college buddies have produced new shows, including Me and My Dick, a musical that tells a teen boy's coming-of-age story; A Very Potter Sequel, a musical sequel to AVPM; and Starship, a musical about Bug, a human-sized insect who wants to become a Starship Ranger. All of these productions ran to sold-out audiences; and their YouTube versions also drove record viewership. StarKid Productions' first national concert tour, The SPACE (StarKid Precarious Auditory Concert Experience) Tour, was highly successful, with well-attended concerts in Michigan, Boston, and New York, among others.
Lopez stressed that, "We just want to keep growing, having fun, and making quality stuff that people want to see." However, running a theater company also has its business side. "Learning the world of business is challenging. We kind of had a crash course in it because everything happened so fast for us. We're not prepared or expecting it. So yeah, we're still learning as we go along. There were like hiccups here and there. But we're lucky to have such incredible people to go to for advice. We have our agent, who's amazing. We have agents and managers of friends, like Darren's people, who've been really helpful and really supportive of us."
Criss, in a lot of his media interviews for Glee and How To Succeed..., never fails to mention StarKid Productions' latest offerings. The next one is Holy Musical B@man!, an all-new Batman-inspired musical premiering on March 21, and will run until March 25 at Hoover-Leppen Theatre at Center on Halsted in Chicago. Although Criss has his hands tied filming Glee, he took time out to join his StarKid family in its concerts in Boston and New York last year. He also wrote the music for Starship. StarKid Productions is also reportedly working on its latest parody of Harry Potter. "Darren will always be one of us, whether he likes it or not!" Lopez exclaimed. "His mainstream popularity definitely doesn't hurt at all. Whereas before, we're only exposed among a small group of people; but we're now a little bit more spread out. He definitely helps with our visibility."
"Every day at StarKid, we're learning how to work with each other outside our friendships. And we've to re-evaluate how we approach the different aspects of the business because we're not super well-read in them," Lopez said. "We keep challenging ourselves; we keep learning how to deal with these challenges. But we don't forget to have fun!"
StarKid Productions' official website states that "now based In Chicago, StarKid remains committed in partnership with Al Gore to pioneering the Internet as a new outlet for theater distribution...Epilogue: After many decades of hard and successful work, all of the members of StarKid eventually died and were forgotten as the hands of time marched forward. We are all grains of sand on an infinite and unending beach. -J.R.R. Tolkien." That may sound silly and funny. However, that's how Lopez and her former college theater buddies, now business colleagues, launched their starship and have kept on soaring.

Erratum: Darren Criss is not currently working on StarKid Productions' latest parody of "Harry Potter." Although there have been reports that the theater company is working on a third installment to "A Very Potter Musical."

Dementia is a decline of reasoning, memory, and other mental abilities (the cognitive functions). This decline eventually impairs the ability to carry out everyday activities such as driving; household chores; and even personal care such as bathing, dressing, and feeding (often called activities of daily living, or ADLs).
- Dementia is most common in elderly people; it used to be called senility and was considered a normal part of aging.
- We now know that dementia is not a normal part of aging but is caused by a number of underlying medical conditions that can occur in both elderly and younger persons.
- In some cases, dementia can be reversed with proper medical treatment. In others, it is permanent and usually gets worse over time.
- Dementia affects about 1% of people aged 60-64 years and as many as 30-50% of people older than 85 years.
- It is the leading reason for placing elderly people in institutions such as nursing homes.
- Many people with dementia eventually become totally dependent on others for their care.
- Although people with dementia typically remain fully conscious, the loss of short- and long-term memory are universal.
- People with dementia also experience declines in any or all areas of intellectual functioning, for example, use of language and numbers; awareness of what is going on around him or her; judgment; and the ability to reason, solve problems, and think abstractly.
- These losses not only impair a person's ability to function independently, but also have a negative impact on quality of life and relationships.
- These very common problems are most often due to a much less serious condition involving slowing of mental processes with age.
- Medical professionals call this "benign senescent forgetfulness," or "age-related memory loss."
- Although this condition is a nuisance, it does not impair a person's ability to learn new information, solve problems, or carry out everyday activities, as dementia does.
Types of Dementia
The Different Types of Dementia
Dementing disorders can be classified many different ways. These classification schemes attempt to group disorders that have particular features in common, such as whether they are progressive or what parts of the brain are affected. Some forms of dementia are classified as either primary or secondary dementia. Examples of primary dementia include:
- Alzheimer's disease
- Vascular dementia
- Lewy body dementia
- HIV-associated dementia
- Huntington's disease
- Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and more.
Examples of secondary dementiainclude:
- Progressive supranuclear palsy
- Multiple sclerosis
- ALS dementia
- Normal pressure dementia
Nursing Care Plan for Dementia
Nursing Interventions for Dementia
Nursing Interventions in depressed elderly patients with impaired thought processes; dementia / forgetfulness.

- Encourage the family to give praise to the ability of the capabilities that are still owned by the patient.
- Encourage the family to monitor the elderly carried out in accordance capabilities.
- Encourage the family to monitor the daily activities of patients in accordance with a schedule that has been created.

Kiss and Motley Crue Tour Poster Revealed
What appears to be poster artwork for the much-discussed but not technically officially announced co-headlining tour from Kiss and Motley Crue was posted on Motley Crue singer Vince Neil's official twitter page last night (March 19).
"Tomorrow!! Tour Dates!" reads Neil's post, in reference to today's expected 5PM ET joint announcement from the bands, who have both featured countdown clocks set to end at that time on their respective sites for the last few days now.
Although Kiss frontman Paul Stanley merely hinted at the news during an interview last week, Neil was much more forthcoming, telling the Las Vegas Sun that both bands would be bringing their full stage sets out on the trek for what he promised would be "one of the biggest tours of the summer, if not the biggest."
Reportedly, the tour will kick off on July 19 (which happens to be this author's birthday -- hint hint, boss!) and last for about three months. Kiss are expected to release their new album 'Monster' prior to that time.
Motley Crue have been working on a new song to be released in conjunction with the tour as well, which according to Nikki Sixx's somehow revolting and awesome description, "has snot dripping off it."

Another Lawsuit Filed For Google Autocomplete 'Defamation'
from the suing-algorithms-for-fun-and-profit! deptAnother day, another lawsuit filed against Google for defamation-via-search-results. And, yet again, it's being filed in a country that has proven amenable towards plaintiffs who somehow feel a search algorithm has the power to defame.
This time the plaintiff is Guy Hingston, an Australian cancer surgeon. His complaint revolves around the fact that Google's autocomplete suggests he's all out of money.
Guy Hingston, an Australian cancer surgeon, sued Google in Federal Court.While this may be true, it seems odd that potential patients and financiers wouldn't actually follow through with the search term, which lists one link related to bankruptcy. (At this point there's more, thanks to Hingston filing this suit -- something those filing these types of suits fail to consider.) Clicking through on that link brings up details on a bankruptcy filing by Eclipse Aviation. A commenter has reposted a Port MacQuarie news story that links Dr. Guy Hingston to bankruptcy -- via CoastJet Group, seven companies Hingston "principally controlled" that ceased operation when Eclipse Aviation went under.
"When an individual computer user types 'Guy Hin ...', into the Google search engine as a search, the words 'Guy Hingston Bankrupt' appears," the complaint states. "When the link(s) is clicked on, the article(s) to which the user is directed has absolutely nothing to do with a bankruptcy associated with Dr. Hingston. Dr. Hingston is not bankrupt." (Parentheses and grammar as in complaint).
"Dr. Hingston is a surgeon practicing in Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia," the complaint states. "Dr. Hingston's surgical practice focuses on breast cancer. Given his professional practice and position in his community, maintaining his good reputation is critical. Dr. Hingston has lost a number of patients and financiers who are refusing to associate and/or deal with Dr. Hingston as a consequence of the reference on Google to a bankruptcy."
Port Macquarie surgeon Guy Hingston bought the 19-year-old business 2½ years ago.A later story appears at the same site, detailing the eventual sale of CoastJet to a Chinese investor, which again mentions bankruptcy and liquidation. Both of these stories make Hingston's claim that "Guy Hingston bankrupt" link leads to article(s) that "have absolutely nothing to do with a bankruptcy associated with Dr. Hingston" completely false. He may not like the perception the words "Guy," "Hingston" and "bankrupt" give when placed next to each other in an autocomplete suggestion, but there's nothing inherently defamatory about having those words appear next to each, especially when it produces relevant search results.
Dr Hingston said the main reason for CoastJet's demise was the loss of a $2.8 million deposit on two new jets when American company Eclipse Aviation Corporation went into bankruptcy. The business was made more vulnerable, he said, by its heavy investment in a new partnership with Sweden's Lund University School of Aviation.
He said CoastJet was preparing for its first intake of 24 students from Sweden at the end of March.
Dr Hingston said he and CoastJet's staff were devastated. "We had two jets we were about to take delivery of, but with the manufacturer going bankrupt, we've lost everything," he said.
The jets were destined to for CoastJet's growing air ambulance service, Dr Hingston said, as well as for international airline pilot training and charters.
Hingston claims Google's automatic search result is defamatory, show him in a false light, and are "highly offensive to a reasonable person."But the search isn't "negligent" or "highly offensive," unless the person searching for Hingston does nothing more than stare at the completion suggestion and draw all their conclusions from that single, incomplete phrase. Hingston is the only person "offended" by this search suggestion, and any "negligence" is solely on the heads of financiers, etc. who are unwilling to perform even the slightest bit of due diligence when researching Dr. Hingston. Every other link for Hingston points you in the direction of his apparently successful practice and book sales/public speaking sideline. And it must be pointed out again that Hingston is suing over one autocomplete suggestion, rather than the results of those searches.
He claims Google was "was negligent in determining the truth of the information or whether a false impression would be created by its publication."
"This issue, and Google's continued failure to remedy this issue, despite numerous demands to do so, has caused significant harm and economic loss to Dr. Hingston in excess of the minimum jurisdiction of this court," the complaint states.
Hingston seeks at least $75,000 in damages for false light, and court costs.
It's really hard to see how this will come down in favor of the plaintiff, but then again, if judicial systems didn't occasionally head off the deep end, lawsuits like this one would very rarely be filed.

RALEIGH, N.C. – A school record fell and several Lipscomb athletes moved up in the Atlantic Sun standings Friday at the Raleigh Relays.
In the men's 3000m steeplechase, junior Ashton Fisher set the school record with a 9:19.78s run, extending his lead in the A-Sun to more than 10 seconds.
Senior Louisa Van Batavia got the day started right with a second-place finish in the second heat of the women's 5000m run with a personal-best 17:56.25s mark.
Overall, a bunch of solid personal-bests today," said Lipscomb head coach Bill Taylor. "Louisa breaking 18 minutes for the first time was awesome."
Senior Ashley Lehman earned a seventh-place mark in her 5000m heat with a personal-best 17:00.63s mark, the top Lady Bison 5000m mark of the day. Heading into today, that mark would be the second-best in the Atlantic Sun this year.
"Ashley just missed breaking 17 minutes," Taylor said. "She lowered her personal-best by 24 seconds and had a phenomenal race."
Sophomore Alex Newby was 12th in her heat with a personal-best 17:52.11s time.
Sophomore Katie Bunker put together a 4:38.75s 1500m run, finishing seventh in heat three.
Junior Isaiah Greer just missed a top-10 mark in the men's 5000m run, finishing 11th in the fourth heat with a 15:11.56s run. That run broke his previous personal-best by six seconds.
"We did a good job today," Taylor said. "We got what we wanted and continue to raise the bar. This sets us up well for the final third of the season."
The Bison and Lady Bison track and field teams will be in action tomorrow in Oxford, Miss. for the Ole Miss Invite.

What a cute fabric. I must put the Britex shop on my list for my next visit to San Fransicso!

I think it would be really nice for me! Because I am a bigger woman, I will use a dark color for the "apron" of this skirt and then pick up the color when I make the "under" layer…maybe a little disguise of the parts of me I need to keep secret!

This an adorable skirt – so girly and summery! I will try out this pattern!

If I'm doing my math right, this will have a waist measurement of twice the wearer's (60 inches for a 30 inch waist for example). This is a huge amount of fabric around the waist, this pattern is really only practical for a very lightweight fabric.

You can definitely play around with the width of the rectangles. In this example, we wanted to add more volume, hence the doubling of the waist measurement. Just make sure the final with the elastic is not too far off from your waist measurement.

I love the tiered skirts and floral prints are very on trend. I'd say this could be worn straight into fall with the right cardigans, tights and shoes.

Hey everyone, here is my latest finished image. I had been working on this one little by little during my free time. I had wanted to paint a romantic image of a couple for a long time and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Once again I had a lot of fun with the color.
Here is a close-up as well.
Thanks for visiting :)

This post is surely a summing up of the miserable state of affairs we are embroiled in as a country.Nobody seems to think of the nation but only vote banks matter for our politicians.
We voters have shunned our responsibilities far too long.Pl. brethren forget about caste, creed and religion and elect the deserving. There is no dearth of men of caliber in our midst.

Main Content
English. Foreign languages. Philosophy. Human thought and expression, our complex ideas and the power of language to communicate them -- this is the province of the humanities major. Take on one or more of these subjects and you will see more clearly those qualities of intellect and spirit that make us human. You will strive to understand how we touch and transform one another through words and ideas. And you will develop in yourself the ability to reason and communicate with strength and subtlety, in one or more languages.
Many professions welcome people trained in the humanities -- Journalism, Business, Education, and Law are but a few of the fields a Humanities major might enter. But the biggest reward by far is the one you will give yourself: a mind made open to the infinite scope, variety, and potential of human ideas.

Mee Siam or "Siamese noodles" is basically spicy fried rice vermicelli with various toppings such as shrimp, chicken, fried firm tofu, and shredded omelet.
Mee Siam is usually served with a piece of kalamansi lime (the juice gives an extra tangy kick to the noodles) and a dollop of sambal on the side.
When I was researching for Mee Siam recipes, I came across two distinct variations: dry vs. wet. The version I am sharing today is Malaysian Mee Siam recipe, which is dry. Singapore Mee Siam is often wet and topped with gravy.
Regardless of the regional adaptations, Mee Siam is a popular noodle dish in Malaysia and Singapore. It's delicious, appetizing and a crowd pleaser.

USU Music Tradition Celebrates 50 Years
Thursday, Jun. 27, 2013
Utah State University celebrates 50 years of music tradition this summer with five evening performances by the Alumni Band.
"Talented and dedicated alumni come together each summer to make music for all to enjoy," said Nick Morrison, conductor of the band and senior associate dean in the Caine College of the Arts. "Each sacrifices time they could spend with their families to perform, and this is a labor of love for them."
Founded in 1963 by Max Dalby, faculty member in the Department of Music, the Alumni Band was born when administrators expressed concern that summer students at USU had nothing to do Sunday evenings.
"Being able to gather five Sundays each summer with dear friends and perform together is a rare opportunity," said Mariann Lucy, one of Dalby's daughters and committee member for the band's 50th anniversary celebration. "Friendships that were forged during college years are renewed and fond memories are solidified as musicians rehearse and perform."
Whether newly graduated or retired, the Alumni Band features musicians of all ages who have graduated from Utah State.
"Catching up with old friends enriches the entire experience and it's so nice to get to know the future generations of Alumni Band members," said Rebecca Nelson, also a daughter of Dalby and committee member for the 50th anniversary celebration.
Each summer the band performs five concerts, rehearsing for only a few hours before performing. Alumni regularly travel from Idaho, Wyoming and southern Utah to perform in at least one concert, with others traveling greater distances.
"Alumni Band is the highlight of our year," said Anita Ford, who has played in the band with her husband, Bill, for 50 years. "The quality of the musicians is outstanding, the caliber of the music is better than in any other place and the band is an amazing group. We arrange our schedules so we can make it to every concert."
Throughout the band's history, there have been only two conductors. Dalby led the band for 30 years, and this season marks Morrison's 20th year of leading the group.
"Nick Morrison has done an outstanding job of keeping the Alumni Band mission alive while adding his own finesse as director," said Lucy. "Our family and the band members are very grateful for his enthusiastic efforts to keep this wonderful tradition alive."
Each concert features a theme, ranging from patriotic music to popular culture. This year's concert themes are: June 30 is a patriotic concert, July 14 is Happy Bastille Day, July 21 is Our Western Heritage, July 28 is Movies and Jazz, and Aug. 4 is the 50th Anniversary Celebration with special guest Arnald Gabriel.
"Longtime friend and mentor of Drs. Jessop and Bankhead, Colonel Arnald Gabriel will join us for the 50th anniversary performance," said Morrison. "He is truly one of the great musicians of the profession and was a contemporary of Dr. Dalby."
Col. Gabriel is conductor emeritus of the United States Air Force (USAF) Band and a professor emeritus of George Mason University. He retired from the USAF after serving for 36 years and was named the first conductor emeritus of the band.
"This performance will be an exciting one with Colonel Gabriel as guest conductor," said Lucy. "He has long been the iconic band director in the eyes of band members everywhere and my dad spoke of him often with great admiration."
All Alumni Band performances begin at 7 p.m. and are free and open to the public.
Concerts in June and July will be held on the USU Quad, and the final concert will be performed in the Kent Concert Hall of the Chase Fine Arts Center. In case of inclement weather, the outdoor performances move to the Kent Concert Hall.
Following the Aug. 4 performance, a reception will be held in the Tippetts Exhibit Hall, located in the Chase Fine Arts Center.
For more information, visit the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center, call 435-797-8022 or see the college's Production Services website.

As we continue our journey through Lent and Holy Week, now is a good time to ponder anew the 2014 Lenten message of Pope Francis, in which he focuses our attention on the nature of poverty itself and our response to it.
In the year that has passed since the pope's election, I have been struck by the profound sense of diaconate which radiates from the Holy Father, especially, during Lent and Holy Week. Some of the first images of the new pope came from his days as archbishop of Buenos Aires as we washed the feet of people on Holy Thursday. Invariably the images showed the cardinal archbishop wearing his stole as a deacon while washing feet. This was clearly a deliberate choice he made: to remove his chasuble and to rearrange his stole diagonally as a deacon wears it. The message is clear: the focus of the act is on the diakonia of pouring oneself out for others as sacramentalized through the washing of feet. Therefore I don't think it's coincidental that the pope's 2014 lenten message was actually signed on the Feast of St. Stephen, Deacon and Proto-Martyr.
The pope cites St. Paul: "He became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich"(2 Cor 8-9), and asks, "What do these words of Saint Paul mean for us Christians today? What does this invitation to poverty, a life of evangelical poverty, mean for us today?" He immediately responds that first this "shows us how God works." He speaks of how God chose to reveal himself in poverty out of a desire to be close to us, "a love which does not hesitate to offer itself in sacrifice for the beloved." I was reminded of the words of St. John Paul II, who wrote in his great encyclical Fides et Ratio, when he referred to kenosis as "a grand and mysterious truth for the human mind, which finds it inconceivable that suffering and death can express a love which gives itself and seeks nothing in return" (No. 93).
Pope Francis reminds us that this was a "logic of love," and that God did not desire salvation to "drop down from heaven"; rather, Christ was among us "to comfort us, to save us, to free us." He continues, "In imitation of our Master, we Christians are called to confront the poverty of our brothers and sisters, to touch it, to make it our own and to take practical steps to alleviate it. Destitution is not the same as poverty: destitution is poverty without faith, without support, without hope." The pope lists three types of destitution: material, moral and spiritual; as the clergy of the Church, how might we address each of these?
Material destitution refers to those living without the essentials of human dignity, and the pope observes that "the Church offers her help, her diakonia, in meeting these needs and binding these wounds. . . ." Moral destitution is "slavery to vice and sin." The pope speaks of those who have lost all hope of finding meaning in life, suffer from addictions, or suffer from lack of "equal access to education and health care." Spiritual destitution is experienced when people turn away from God and reject his love. Our response as Church?
Wherever we go, we are called as Christians to proclaim the liberating news that forgiveness for sins committed is possible, that God is greater than our sinfulness, that he freely loves us at all times and that we were made for communion and eternal life. The Lord asks us to be joyous heralds of this message of mercy and hope!
As we enter these final days of Lent, may all of us be "ready to bear witness to all those who live in material, moral and spiritual destitution the Gospel message. . . . Lent is a fitting time for self-denial; we would do well to ask ourselves what we can give up in order to help and enrich others by our own poverty. Let us not forget that real poverty hurts: no self-denial is real without this dimension of penance." We who serve in the image of Christ must ask ourselves if we are truly imitating Christ, "who became poor and enriched us by his poverty."
Have we emptied ourselves so that others may live?

Cooking with Your Children
One of the best ways to familiarize your child with good food choices is to encourage her to cook with you. Let her get involved in the entire process, from planning the menus to shopping for ingredients to the actual food preparation and its serving.
When you are planning meals with her, refer to the Food Pyramid, and try to include items from the important food groups. Explain the importance of making low-fat choices whenever possible, choosing chicken and fish rather than red meat in most cases, or choosing low-fat cheeses over higher-fat varieties. Particularly in her first few efforts at helping in the kitchen, let her select recipes that she and other family members have enjoyed in the past, so she can see what's involved in preparing them.
In assigning tasks to your child, keep in mind that they need to be age-appropriate. For instance, you wouldn't give a 6-year-old a sharp knife to chop vegetables, although she can certainly wash the lettuce. Nor would you let her remove a hot, heavy casserole pot from the oven, although she can carefully open the oven door for you.
Here are some other guidelines to keep in mind:

We had a trauma patient recently who was in her third trimester of pregnancy.
It was a bad trauma: motorcycle-related with multisystem injuries and a frankly unstable patient. We knew she was pregnant but had an urgent need for definitive imaging, so the decision was made to obtain a CT scan. Here are the rather uncommon images:
This is a transverse image through the mid-uterus. Clearly visible is the bony skull, midface,
hands forearms and legs of the fetus. I may be incorrect (any radiologists out there?) but I believe there is a small amount of fluid, probably blood, in the right paracolic gutter.
Our hospital has been doing gee-whiz coronal reconstructions routinely on scans, and this one is even more gripping. You can see the baby in near-perfect profile:
Again, fluid is visible in the right lower quadrant.
Trauma in pregnancy is complicated with regard to imaging. You need to try to minimize the amount of radiation while not compromising the care of the patient. Ultrasound is a good screening tool (especially for the well-being of the fetus), but does not provide great detail for the solid organs and viscera, nor for the retroperitoneum. Pelvic fractures (which this patient had, but are not visible on these images) and their concomitant injuries are essentially only visible on CT. But the radiation dose is somewhere around 500 mRem, or about 50 times the chest x-ray dose, with the radiation focused on the fetus. So there's a complex risk-benefit calculation you need to do before ordering the test. In this case, the fact that the baby was more than 20 weeks gave us a bit more latitude -- the risks of radiation are highest in the first twelve weeks, when the organs are being formed.
For stable patients, I have seen abdominal MRI utilized, which has the advantage of not irradiating the embryo, but the disadvantage of being time-consuming, difficult to obtain, and requiring the patient to be stable enough to sequester in the tube for the scan. I don't know whether there is any diagnostic advantage to CT or MR in trauma; almost all our experience is with CT, but I would imagine that the MR images are sensitive for most injuries, possibly moreso than CT for some.
I wish I could say there was a happy outcome to this case. Unfortunately, both mother and baby expired due to reasons unrelated to the findings on these images. As I said, it was a bad trauma and we knew from the moment the patient arrived that the odds were poor. A peri-mortem C-section was not an option, as the fetus expired first. I felt, however, that these scans were of sufficient educational interest to be worth posting, as they are quite unusual and they touch on an interesting management conundrum.
Thankfully, this is not a dilemma we ahve to wrestle with too often.

You're right. We don't see this often. In fact, I've never seen one in 10 years of radiology. Great images.ReplyDelete
Those were the bones of the forearms and legs in the first image.
Bad that both didn't make it. Was she in shock? The thickened small bowel loops - in the left flank on the second image - look like shock bowel.
PS. Word verification was cmdleg !!
Thanks. She had other injuries that more proximately caused her death (most prominently a head injury). But she had a belly whack for sure.
BTW, what's the significance of cmdleg?
No big significance other that it sounds - see MD, leg! (the bones in image 1)ReplyDelete

Sad story, but beautiful images. I guess they don't do routine 3d reconstructions of those ct images yet??ReplyDelete
Not routinely. We can get them, but most typically I see them for CT-angioReplyDelete
Those are amazing pictures. Thank you for showing them. Granted, I have very limited experience, but I've never seen anything remotely close to that.ReplyDelete
Yeah we only do 3d recons for angio, IVPs, and mandibles.
Wow, that's an amazing image. Sad about the patient and her baby though. :(ReplyDelete
Wow those are amazing. Tragic outcome, but obviously everything was done.ReplyDelete

Am I the only one who thought: "wait - 'motorcycle-related' and 'third trimester'?!" I've never been pregnant, but I do ride a motorcycle, and that just seems like such an obviously bad combination.ReplyDelete
You aren't the only one to think "Why was it a motorcycle accident?". I'm hoping the pt. had more common sense than that, and it was motorcycle vs. ped.ReplyDelete

guys doing that kind of coronal recon itself causes thin slices 2 be taken.won't it cause heavy radiation .ReplyDelete
by the way what were the thickness of the slice.

About f0nZi3
Wouldn't this case fall under Probable Cause since she invited the officers into the home (and she had reasonably apparent use of or control over the property)?
I guess the act of picking up a phone without the owners consent to view it would require a search warrant or at the very least, verbal permission from the owner to view its contents. I'm really torn her. I don' want anyone violating our 4th Amendment rights, but I have to think that Probable Cause would fall into the initial discovery of evidence. If they failed to get a search warrant after the initial discovery, and proceeded with their investigation without a SW. Yeah, they really screwed up big time.
Pretty tough call out from, who? Oh, right... "Anonymous Coward".
Easier to be a Keyboard Rambo when you have no semblance of an identity huh?
"congratulations, you're not ICE Director John Moron"
WOW! Just... wow! This should bother every human on the planet to see this kind of response.
It should be:

Yep. Honestly, the only form of counterfeiting I can possibly think of that would actually harm the economy is the counterfeiting of money.
No, no, no. Haven't you heard? That figure has been recently updated to 6.0 sextillion metric tons. ;-)
An Internet without various meme's is an Internet I don't want.
Let's face it, judges are failed lawyers. Couldn't make in in the private sector so they run for public office.
I just wonder what class taught them that if they don't like the letter of the law (or even the spirit of the law), they can and should use their own bias and personal opinion to come to a summary judgement.
This nation needs an enema.
I believe Michael O'Leary's home page is Google.com. He opened up his handy Internet Explorer browser, and saw the black bar over "Google". He clicked on it, read the information it directed him to and immediately came to the conclusion that: 1) He isn't comfortable with the message he was being presented with; and 2) Since it was the first link he clicked on, Google must control this magical land called "The Internet".

I agree. I purchased all of the software and movies (music is half and half) I have and use/watch. That's right... I am one of those that supports the devs and likes having a DVD or BlueRay of what I purchased.
They pass this shit, and you're gonna see me become one pirating fool. I'll have to upgrade all the hard drives in my NAS to hold all the shit I'll be downloading and pirating!
This is the same group of retards that said "pass the healthcare bill (aka: Obamacare) so we know what's in it". Shouldn't surprise anyone that the Dumbocrats are stating that they continue to support SOPA and PIPA but will "work to fix it". Yeah... they'll work to fix it alright... after it's law and then there's nothing anyone can do about it.
It would come from California. Time for that f'n state to just split off at the San Andreas fault line and sink into the ocean. Lex Luthor had the right idea...
They talking about the flute part in the song?? It's barely even recognizable to Kookaburra! They better sue those f'n kids then for singing it and posting it on You-Tube.
You sleep with dogs, you get fleas.
You support the CrApple monopoly on hardware AND software as well as the method for distribution (the "App Store" which they control with an iron fist), you deserve whatever you get or do not get, from them. Just make sure you bought CrApple Care, 'cause you're gonna need it!
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.
Operating anything that has spent more money than it has taken in for 69 out of 80 years is not what I call "responsible". An individual, family, organization or business could not operate this way for very long. Why do we allow our government to get away with it?? 14.5 trillion dollars! Does anyone really think that debt is ever going to get paid off? Does anyone really think the US will even be able to pay back 25% of it?
I have to agree that iFlow should have seen this coming since iBooks was already in development and the giant red flag should have been "Apple's response to our detailed inquiries was to tell us that our plans did not infringe their rules in any way".
That said, just because it is legal for Apple to practice business this way does not mean it's ethical. I guess since CrApple caters to hippies with situational ethics, they wont loose much in market share because of this.

MINNEAPOLIS/OSLO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve must be patient in deciding when to scale back bond purchases, top officials said on Friday, with one arguing it could wait "years" to lift interest rates and another suggesting it could tolerate inflation rising to 3 percent.
The dovish remarks, by Chicago Fed President Charles Evans, Minneapolis Fed chief Narayana Kocherlakota and New York Fed boss William Dudley, came as investors reviewed expectations on whether the Fed will begin to taper bond buying this year or next, after it unexpectedly decided last week to stand pat.
Evans, speaking in Oslo, said the economic outlook suggested that a reduction in the level of bond purchases was in order, but that when to begin that process is not yet certain.
"Whether or not we'll have enough confidence at the October meeting or the December meeting, I just can't say that with a lot of certainty," he told reporters. "I think there's a decent chance of that. But it could go a little bit longer," he said.
Financial markets were stunned when the Fed's policy-setting committee announced at the end of its meeting last week that it would keep buying bonds at a monthly pace of $85 billion.
Kocherlakota, in an interview with Reuters, said the volatility in financial markets following the policy decision, which sparked complaints the central bank had failed to communicate properly, exposed the need for the Fed to re-think how it guides expectations.
"What went wrong is the fact that we don't have a comprehensive strategy in place that is credible. ... We do not have a comprehensive form of forward guidance."
Kocherlakota said the Fed should do "whatever it takes" to achieve its goal of maximum sustainable employment.
"If that announcement is credible, (it) has enormous power in and of itself," said Kocherlakota, who does not vote on Fed policy in 2013.
The Fed launched its third round of so-called quantitative easing, or QE3, in September, and said it would keep buying bonds until it saw a substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market.
The jobless rate has since declined to 7.3 percent in August versus 8.1 percent a year ago. But it is still historically high and even the drop in August was attributed to the many discouraged job-seekers who have given up looking for work.
Kocherlakota said scaling back the purchase program last week would have sent the wrong message to markets - that the Fed was satisfied with weak growth and slack employment.
"That doesn't make sense. That is not doing whatever it takes to bring employment up...to maximum as fast as possible," he said.
The Fed cut interest rates to almost zero in late 2008 and has more than tripled the size of its balance sheet to around $3.6 trillion, through 3 massive campaigns of bond buying, in a bid to spur growth and hiring by holding down borrowing costs.
However, long-term rates rose sharply after the Fed began talking about scaling back bond buying in May, and after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said in June that officials expected to begin tapering later this year, and end the program by mid-2014.
To hold down borrowing costs, the Fed also says it will keep its overnight funds rate near zero until unemployment hits 6.5 percent, provided that the outlook for inflation remains under 2.5 percent.
New York Fed President Dudley said that could be a while.
"The amount of time that can pass between the decision to begin to taper and actually raising short-term interest rates could easily be a number of years," he said in New York.
Fed officials last week refreshed quarterly forecasts for the U.S. economy, with 12 anticipating they would first raise rates in 2015.
The median of their projections for 2016 judged that overnight fed funds rates would have reached 2 percent by the end of that year, when the central tendency of their forecasts for inflation was 1.7 percent to 2.0 percent.
The U.S. central bank's stated goal for inflation, measured by the personal consumption expenditures index, or PCE, is 2 percent. The PCE ticked down to 1.2 percent in August, though it was still up from 0.9 percent in April.
Evans said that flexibility on inflation could well be necessary, and may require even greater forbearance from the central bank, as policy-makers pursue their other objective, of achieving maximum sustainable employment.
"That's not a goal but it could be a feature, in order to have accommodating conditions that support maximum employment, so that's really very helpful," Evans said. "We could even do this as long as inflation was below 3 percent, because I think symmetry around the inflation target is incredibly important."
Evans has previously suggested holding rates near zero until either the unemployment rate drops under 7 percent, or the outlook for inflation rises above 3 percent.

Viewers would be less forgiving, I suspect, if not for the impressive work of director of photography Woody Bredell. Bredell did good, textured cinematography for BLACK FRIDAY, THE MUMMY'S HAND, HORROR ISLAND, SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE VOICE OF TERROR, MAN MADE MONSTER, and THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN, as well as the very visually-interesting films noirs THE KILLERS, PHANTOM LADY, and THE UNSUSPECTED. The night scenes in THE MYSTERY OF MARIE ROGET (and there are a lot of them) are really well-done and must have worked wonderfully on late-night SHOCK! television. Whatever horror movie ambiance is in this movie comes from Bredell and he does a helluva job that these screen-caps can't even begin to illustrate. (Perhaps someday soon this title will turn up as a Universal manufactured-on-demand DVD-R like HOUSE OF SEVEN GABLES [1940] recently did and I can finally throw away my murky bootlegs.)
NEXT: "Superstition and fear terrorize a tropic island in WEIRD WOMAN, the full-length feature film on this channel. It's an exciting Shock premiere. Don't miss it!"

"What are friends for?" This isn't a rhetorical question. Friendship is one of life's most important features, and one too often taken for granted.
The human desire for companionship may feel boundless, but research suggests that our social capital is finite—we can handle only so many relationships at one time. Social scientists have used a number of ingenious approaches to gauge the size of people's social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people.Fashion Print Beaching crystell Vacation Bohemian Sexy Beach Maxi Dress Short Chiffon Sleeve Mini Dresses Green Dress Women Dress 1zwqzgZxd[1] (An undergraduate thesis from MIT focusing exclusively on Franklin D. Roosevelt, a friendly guy with an especially social job, suggested that he might have had as many as 22,500 acquaintances. [2]) Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards as a proxy for closeness put the average person's friend group at about 121 people. [3]
However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. [4] Moreover, that number may be shrinking: From 1985 to 2004, the average number of confidants that people reported having decreased from three to two. Boho Sexy Deep Low Beach V Flower Dress Black High Cromoncent Chiffon Womens Neck C0qST5Hwx This is both sad and consequential, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who don't. [6]
So what should you do if your social life is lacking? Here, too, the research is instructive. To begin with, don't dismiss the humble acquaintance. Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well-being. Crime Faith Explosion 20 Sneaker Hi 25024A17 r5qZr16B[7] Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a "real" friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend. Split Sexy Dresses Pencil Women Sleeveless Sheath Beige Cocktail Coolred Club A5xqpw5F
If that sounds like too much effort, reviving dormant social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture much of the trust they previously built, while offering each other a dash of novelty drawn from whatever they've been up to in the meantime. [9] And if all else fails, you could start randomly confiding in people you don't know that well in hopes of letting the tail wag the relational dog. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more inclined to like those to whom we have bared our soul. [10]
The academic literature is clear: Longing for closeness and connection is pervasive. Which suggests that most of us are stumbling through the world pining for companionship that could be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article (after you've renewed your subscription and clicked every ad on the website, of course), turn to someone nearby, and try to make a friend. You both could probably use one.

Religion made my life hell on earth, why should it be any different in the afterlife? Abandoning the god delusion improved my life in every way. Teagraves said it, if god is going to punish us just for the mistake of surviving to be born then this is a god not worth worshiping. If you haven't seen the website http://www.whywontgodhealamputees.com/ take a look.
What crushed my fears instantly was this thought. Would you follow ANY organization that would take a 6 year old child and terrorize them to the point of freezing their spirits with stories of punishment? Then when they are adults make them turn around and do the same to their children?
So let's say the odds go against you and every other thinking human who lived and there is a god. We're all planning a cookout by the lake of fire. Everyone will be there Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Simone Weil...it will be fun!
Pat Condell described the biblical nonsense known as original sin: "being billed for something I didn't order". Myself, I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints (Billy Joel, Only the Good Die Young)
It's normal. I was so heavely conditioned as a child that It still runs through my mind sometimes too. My wife wants our kids to go to church (she is christian) but since she works on Sundays and I am at home with the kids I never take them. I refuse to let them grow up with that kind of fear if i can help it. IMO it is damaging to a childs development and teaching them about hell is almost a form of abuse.
I am three trillion self-organized cells operating as a collective unity for improved survivability. No cell is named John.
I am the emergent simulation of an evolved brain that can do anything nothing can do with nothing, including the inability to do anything to something.
I am sitting here in nowhere, writing stuff to nobody, letting the amusement of I, ride nowhen good by... bye, bye... all there is, is I, being wrong...
I'm an atheist. I cannot be wrong.
