Facebook CEO tackles immigration reform, calling it "one of the biggest civil rights issues of our time."
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has taken up the cause of "humane immigration reform," calling it "one of the biggest civil rights issues of our time" in a Fox News interview. Zuckerberg first became interested in immigration reform while teaching in an after-school program in entrepreneurship, according to Forbes, when he asked his students where they plan to go to college. One student surprised him by saying that he doesn't know if he will go to college at all: "That student is going to be the entrepreneur of tomorrow," Zuckerberg said in the report. The young philanthropist, 29, has formed FWD.us, an immigration reform organization backed by the likes of Bill Gates that supports reform for undocumented students, or "Dreamers," but also advocates for changes that allow companies to hire highly skilled workers. The organization has come under criticism for trying to allow tech giants to hire talented immigrant labor and pay them less than American workers. Zuckerberg denies that claim according to Forbes, saying that his organization is taking a bipartisan approach, and helping the country transition to a "knowledge economy." In a knowledge economy, Zuckerberg said, a "person knowing something doesn't prevent another person from knowing it too." he also said that Facebook feeds the knowledge economy by "keeping people connected." Zuckerberg may be the one person who can lead immigration change, argues Forbes contributor Ralph Benko, because social networking gives people transparency into others' lives. "Once people get to know each other as human beings rather than as impersonal symbols representing diverse philosophies and organizations, then a new set of relationships composed of genuine understanding and real sympathy will arise," said Benko. Zuckerberg said that he thinks overall, the government works and isn't a "broken-down system" like cynics say, he said in a press event, but he was clear about changes that he would like to see in immigration. "Eleven million people is a lot of people who are being treated unfairly right now," he said.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D163635%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

Cummins Powered 1994 Toyota Land CruiserPosted in Project Vehicles on March 1, 2010
As gearheads we spend way too much time searching classified ads for our next dream project trucks, and that's just how we came across this Cummins-powered Land Cruiser. The seller had it on eBay, but he was close to our office so we dropped him a line and asked if we could snap some shots before it left the neighborhood. He obliged, and soon we were cruising a local trail in this flat-black oiler. The seller, Joshua Caine, is even thinking about building and selling Cummins-powered Cruisers as a side business so check out customdiesels.com if you need to have one. With early '90s luxury and Cummins torque and efficiency, this should be the recipe for a perfect long-range expedition truck.

Dolphins are thought of as one of the most intelligent species in the animal kingdom – and experts believe they have put their ingenuity to use in the pursuit of getting "high".
In extraordinary scenes filmed for a new documentary, young dolphins were seen carefully manipulating a certain kind of puffer fish which, if provoked, releases a nerve toxin.
Though large doses of the toxin can be deadly, in small amounts it is known to produce a narcotic effect, and the dolphins appeared to have worked out how to make the fish release just the right amount.
Carefully chewing on the puffer and passing it between one another, the marine mammals then enter what seems to be a trance-like state.
The behaviour was captured on camera by the makers of Dolphins: Spy in the Pod, a series produced for BBC One by the award-winning wildlife documentary producer John Downer.
Rob Pilley, a zoologist who also worked as a producer on the series, told the Sunday Times: "This was a case of young dolphins purposely experimenting with something we know to be intoxicating.
"After chewing the puffer gently and passing it round, they began acting most peculiarly, hanging around with their noses at the surface as if fascinated by their own reflection.

World Cup infographic innovation
In a series for each country of the 24 who started the finals in South Africa, Luis Chumpitaz, Graphics Director for Al Bayan (designed by Innovation) in the Emirates, and his team have created wonderful infographics, like this example of Germany
But here's the beef...
The total supplement and each infographic are in Arabic and English
Is this a first in the world of visual reporting?
And infographics that have driven syndication (cash paid to your publisher) throughout the Arabian nations
Chumpitaz says:
This project was challenging because is the first time that, an Arabic newspaper recognizes that in Dubai the big population of expat like football, for this reason I suggested to make this supplement in two languages. After the approval my surprise was the reaction of the sport media in GCC, newspapers like Al Shabeeba in Oman, Al Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, Al Sharaq in Qatar, and others in the rest of GCC countries took the decision acquire and print the supplement in their own countries. This was really good news!

We have spent a long time looking for problems that are not solved yet online and there aren't too many: At TodayDoc you will be able to say when and where you want to see a doctor - and we will come up with exactly that appointment. No more being put on hold, no more browsing through yelp forever.
We will not (never) have a bidding system where the doctor who pays more, gets more patients. We don't want that. We want to be a service that patients can trust. We work on a cooperation that would give users the possibility to choose the best doctor for their condition. The business model is to sell patient leads to doctors. Those doctors should perceive us as a partner, who has a deep understanding of their problems and processes.
In order to be perceived as a partner of trust, we want to offer some content (some on the start page, which is part of the contest, some in a section called "education", which is not part of the contest). Also, this should help us to be better SEO'd.
We strongly believe in the power of photos. We think that working with the right photos (I'd recommend trustworthy looking people, faces in close-up) will be very important to create trust among patients and doctors.
Everybody needs a doctor from time to time, so the target group is broad. But: People from cities, who commute and need a doctor in the city where they work (and therefore don't have friends or family to ask), people who have moved recently, or people who work a lot and have a tight schedule are more likely to use our service. So our site should especially appeal to the urban, working, perhaps even travelling crowd.
As we will do online marketing (mostly Search Engine Marketing) to attract people to our site, most people will not know our brand but come as they are looking for a doctor. A big chunk of the traffic that we will be leading to us comes from people originally looking for recommendations. Those people have to understand in the first fragment of a second what TodayDoc is about. Our conversion rate is a significant factor for success or failure! So please focus on guiding the user through the process of generating the relevant information to the offered appointments.
- as a basis for your work, please take the mockups that I have uploaded at: http://hernanharo.aptanacloud.com if you come up with better alternatives that work, great, if you think the mockups are good, use them as they are - I'd be happy too. If you do something completely different, I will not like it too much.
- examples I like: http://www.zocdoc.com, http://www.1800dentist.com, http://www.docshop.com
- I think that a light blue would be a good color (people understand easily that the website is about doctors). Look at the logo at http://hernanharo.aptanacloud.com - if you want to use it (you may change colors!), please do so, if you have another idea, please go ahead!
- a clear and well structured process in which people understand what they are doing there and why they have to put in data.
- good big photos (of faces, if you agree) that communicate trustworthiness.
- a centered layout (not left aligned)
- final artwork in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) or Adobe Photoshop (.psd) format
- If you can, please add a personal touch with original icons, illustrations, photos.
- use intense colors to direct the users eye on the important stuff (like the "search"-button)
don't wants
- cheesy stockphotos that look like stockphotos
- too many different colors or fonts
- aggressive colors - please use strong colors only to focus the eye on the most important stuff
- don't be innovative when there is the danger of distracting - this is a tool, not an entertainment channel

I have begun hand making and selling beauty products (mostly soaps and lotions) in my community. I have always had sensitive skin and I have found that natural cosmetics which contain herbs and essential oils instead of fragrances (with chemicals) do not irritate my skin. Needless to say, this has become one of my passions and I am going forth with it. Here are a few facts about "earthbalisms":
* earthbalisms is a combination of the words earth, herbal, and isms
* this is a cosmetic company offering soaps, lotions, spa/bath products, all of which contain high quality, natural herbs, oils, and essential oils (from the earth!)
* it is very important to me that when choosing ingredients, I first seek out products from fairtrade, organic, or small independent sources.
These products are for people who are seeking a natural alternative for their skin. So far, I have received most requests from women between the ages of 20-50. Some may not initially be interested in the fair trade, organic, independent sources, but they will be interested in the health benefits. Loyal customers will be more into the fair trade, organic, independent sources in addition to the health benefits.
Some of these people are completely into or may dabble in alternative/wholistic health, aromatherapy, or natural living.
The guidelines are listed below, but I am open to logos outside of this.
*I like earthtones and deep, bold colors (like royal purple)
*I have envsioned a logo in which the earth is somehow incorporated into "e" of earthbalisms, but it is not necessary
*something that looks good in black and white as well as color
*please consider the "picture" part of the logo will be used as a soap stamp and "hole puncher" as well
*I like leaves and tress, but I'm not into it for a logo as there are many companies that already have this look
*earthbalisms is typically all lowercased, but I'm not opposed to capital letters
If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment.

Plus: A Gay HIV-Positive Veteran of the Gulf War is on Track to Get a New Heart Until the Transplant Goes Awry
For a full year ABC News cameras had unprecedented access to document the mayhem and the miracles that occur daily inside the walls of Columbia and Weill Cornell Medical Centers - the crown jewels of the prestigious New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City - for the eight-part series " NY Med." Lutheran Medical Center also participated, adding a Brooklyn dimension to the series. In "Episode 103," which airs TUESDAY, JULY 24 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET), viewers will meet the following patients, doctors and nurses:
John Rankl, a veteran of the Gulf War who is also HIV positive, has been overcoming the odds his entire life. Now it is a pump that keeps his heart beating and any hope of a future depends on a transplant, but when a donor heart becomes available surgeons accidentally damage it during the procurement.
Dr. Oz finds himself in both the roles of a patient and as a doctor after he decides to follow his own advice and submit to a colonoscopy that he has been putting off. The results are not what he expects. Plus, he raids various staff lounges intent on busting colleagues with bad dietary habits.
Tara Margarella is a feisty, Brooklyn-born chief resident in trauma surgery. What gets her pumped up is a Friday night when multiple gunshot, stabbing and beating traumas roll in the door. She believes that just because your hands might be deep in a chest cavity, it doesn't mean you shouldn't do your nails and look like a lady. Her husband wants her to tattoo "I'm married" on her forehead to keep propositioning patients at bay.
ER Nurse Katie Duke returns in this episode to treat a charming young woman who has cut her forehead and broken her nose in a taxi accident. She also encounters an engaging bouncer arrested for fighting outside his club.
"NY Med" follows the irascible, compassionate and, at times, cocky attending surgeons who try to change the trajectory of lives by relying on sheer medical brilliance and a healthy dose of old fashioned good luck. The eight-part series takes a candid look at how cutting edge medicine often makes the difference, although even the best surgeons can find themselves flirting with disaster. The raucous ER staff trades jibes with strong-willed New Yorkers in moments that can be poignantly heartbreaking or off-the-hook hilarious. These doctors spend far more time with each other than with their families, developing complicated and intertwined personal relationships.
Terence Wrong is executive producer of "NY Med." Erica Baumgart and Chris Perera are supervising producers. Monica DelaRosa is series producer and Andy Genovese is the broadcast producer.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 4, 2013) – Coming off its first-ever Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and first NCAA Tournament appearance in 32 years, ETSU head baseball coach Tony Skole released the 2014 Buccaneer schedule on Wednesday afternoon.
Thirty-five home games, a trip to Auburn for the Tiger Classic, and a home-and-home with Tennessee highlight the slate for the Blue and Gold.
"The 2014 schedule will present our team with a tremendous challenge," said Skole, whose team finished 20-9 at home en route to a 36-win campaign a year ago. "We feel the non-conference portion will prepare us very well for the difficult conference slate. It will challenge our team and complement the competition we will face in the A-Sun."
The Buccaneer faithful get the chance to see the Blue and Gold early and often as ETSU plays 22 of its first 29 at the friendly confines of Thomas Stadium, beginning with a four-game home stint to open the campaign.
ETSU starts the 2014 season with a weekend series against Longwood on Feb. 14-16, before taking on Furman on Feb. 18. From there, the Bucs head to Auburn for the Tiger Classic, which pins ETSU with Pac-12 power California, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, and SEC contender Auburn the weekend of Feb. 21-23.
Following their lone weekend road trip until early April, the Bucs return home for eight consecutive games as ETSU hosts UNC Asheville (Feb. 26), 2013 NCAA Tournament participant Canisius (Feb. 28-March 2), Eastern Kentucky (March 5), and Hartford (March 7-9).
Sandwiched between midweek road games to Asheville (March 12), Eastern Kentucky (March 18) and reigning Southern Conference regular season champion Western Carolina (March 19), is a weekend home series with Bryant – the reigning Northeast Conference champion – on March 14-16.
The Bucs then turn their attention to conference play come mid-March as the Blue and Gold open the A-Sun slate with back-to-back home series. ETSU begins conference action March 21-23 when Stetson visits Thomas Stadium, while Northern Kentucky makes its first-ever trip to Johnson City the following weekend.
After playing a plethora of home games to kick off the season, the Bucs play 15 of their final 28 contests on the road, beginning with a trip to Tennessee on April 1. The Vols make the return trip to Thomas Stadium on Tuesday, April 22.
The remaining 14 road games send the Bucs to Lipscomb (April 4-6), Jacksonville (April 17-19), Kennesaw State (April 25-27), Radford (April 30), Furman (May 7), and Florida Gulf Coast (May 9-11).
Other home conference series include North Florida (April 11-13), USC Upstate (May 2-4), and defending regular season champion and 2013 NCAA Tournament participant, Mercer (May 15-17). Meanwhile, ETSU brings in Western Carolina (March 25), The Citadel (April 9), Radford (April 23), and Appalachian State (May 13) for midweek home games.
"We're excited about our schedule as we will face many challenges, while giving our fan base a lot of opportunities to see some strong clubs visit Johnson City," Skole said. "Our fans played a big part in our success last season at Thomas Stadium, and we are looking forward to having a great home field advantage this spring. I know season tickets will go fast, so it should be another great atmosphere this spring."
Overall, the Bucs' 2014 schedule features three teams who advanced to the NCAA Tournament a year ago, along with 12 programs that posted 30-plus win seasons in 2013.
After concluding regular season play with Mercer, the A-Sun Tournament will be hosted by FGCU from May 21-25 in Ft. Myers.

Film Review: The Hobbit: An Unexpected JourneyFirst episode in a trilogy based on the J.R.R. Tolkien novel sends Bilbo Baggins on a journey to Lonely Mountain.
Clearly hoping for lightning to strike twice, director Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit hews closely to the fantasy template he established with his Lord of the Rings films. Whether J.R.R. Tolkien's relatively slight 1937 novel can fill out three features as easily as his massive trilogy did is something moviegoers will decide for themselves over the next few years. This first installment should draw a large audience; getting it back for rounds two and three will be more difficult.
Compared to the trilogy, Tolkien's novel was a small-scale story aimed toward younger readers. Jackson's film, on the other hand, expands The Hobbit to blockbuster proportions, basically putting the works on the same level. In a sense, Jackson was determined to remake The Lord of the Rings with better technology.
A pre-title sequence essentially repeats the opening gambit from The Fellowship of the Ring—a long battle shows how dwarves lost the kingdom of Erebor to the dragon Smaug. The Hobbit then uses characters from The Lord of the Rings—Ian Holm as an elderly Bilbo Baggins and Elijah Wood as Frodo—to introduce a young Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) in his comfortable home in The Shire.
A prolonged and labored dinner party presents the 13 dwarves who will accompany Bilbo and the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) in an attempt to take back Erebor from Smaug. The dwarves display little individual personality apart from their cranky, suspicious leader Thorin (Richard Armitage). And when they break into vaguely Celtic song, The Hobbit threatens to sink into a Middle-earth parody.
Fortunately, Jackson hasn't lost his knack of propelling characters forward when he wants to—even if he has to pull in events from outside the novel itself. New Zealand locations, aided by computer wizardry, provide a majestic backdrop for the journey, which finds the band encountering menacing trolls, hostile orcs, and mountains who come alive to battle each other. Since this is Tolkien, the heroes often end up inside enormous caverns fighting off hordes of enemies.
Or they are just as likely to debate over past feuds, ticking off tongue-twisting names that only Tolkien nerds will recognize. A summit of elven leaders and wizards—Elrond (Hugo Weaving), Galadriel (Cate Blanchett), Saruman (Christopher Lee) and Gandalf—highlights the film's worst tendencies, as digitally enhanced actors spout mystical irrelevancies at each other while the camera swirls around a CGI landscape.
New characters, like a dimly seen Necromancer (Benedict Cumberbatch), the brown wizard Radagast (Sylvester McCoy) and the Goblin King (Barry Humphries), provide some diversion, but it's not until Bilbo stumbles across Gollum (a motion-capture performance by the remarkable Andy Serkis) that The Hobbit finally comes to life. Their dueling riddles blends fantasy, humor and suspense so deftly you wonder why the rest of the film feels so heavy-handed—especially a cliffhanging climax that seems to go on forever.
Flaws and all, The Hobbit is too big, and too well-made, to ignore. Jackson deserves credit for getting his vision onto the screen, even at the loss of original director Guillermo del Toro. One thing to look forward to in subsequent episodes is a bigger role for Bilbo, which will give the crafty Martin Freeman more room to show off his scene-stealing skills.
The Hobbit is screening in roughly 460 theatres at Jackson's preferred 48 frames per second. The High Frame Rate (HFR) format takes some getting used to, especially during the brightly lit opening scenes. The process presents objects with startling clarity, offering an apparently limitless depth of field. But when objects start to move, it can seem like you're watching a very expensive high-definition television.

Still got it?
Nice to see they don't just offer movies to 18 year olds these days.
It's Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton on the set of Morning Glory in New York yesterday. Sounds like a comedy. About a Dan Rather-ish anchor man who can't keep up with the gossipy new news environment and quits only to sign back on with a morning show... and a female co-anchor he can't stand. Obviously Diane Keaton. Can't wait to see their chemistry.
Rachel McAdams also stars and Patrick Wilson too. Produced by JJ Abrams. VERY promising names attached.
But after all these years, does Harrison still have it? Well, he has enough of it to look great in that suit. And fly his helicopter around and rescue people all the time. And propose to Calista Flockhart.
Have always liked his comedic timing. It's a good move to mix it up, all the action, serious man roles, with another side.
As for what Harrison Ford is really like...
Well they say he's kind of a dick. Totally. Massive ego. But also really cool. Last year I interviewed him in Cannes right after breaking my arm. When he saw me he noted:
So you clipped your wing, did you?
I won't lie. I was secretly star struck and tried not to be. Often you meet these celebrities, they're smaller and less imposing that you expect. And then Harrison Ford comes along, with a big booming voice, long strapping legs, grey but vigorous, old school and in no hurry to modernise, and it restores your faith in the Star System.

Hallo-green? The Growing Environmental Focus of Halloween
This week we celebrate one of the stranger holidays on the calendar: We dress our kids up in cheap, plastic costumes and send them to strangers' homes for candy. This custom is one that arguably has led to millions of pounds of waste generated by the disposal of outfits that are generally used only once. In recent years, though, efforts have sprouted up to tackle that problem – trying to mitigate the wasteful nature of the costuming and candy-eating tradition (there's even a website and blog dedicated to this cause specifically at http://greenhalloween.org/). In the spirit of the holiday I thought I would take this opportunity to highlight some of the easier ways each of us can make Halloween a bit more green.
Costume Swap
Probably the most obvious, but also the most effectual, environmental twist on the holiday is the concept of a "Costume Swap." The idea is quite simple. Instead of throwing away last year's Halloween costume, trade it with someone else who has a different one for use this year. This is recycling in its most pure form. Costumes that would be part of the waste stream, because they are either out of favor with a particular child or no longer fit, are instead reused year after year. This year, October 8 was National Costume Swap Day. Parents in all parts of the country designated local outposts where they could exchange costumes; information about the locations and times was made available on social networking sites. According to Green Halloween swapping half of the costumes worn by children on Halloween would reduce annual landfill waste by 6,250 tons, which is the equivalent of 2,500 midsize cars.
Buy Organic and Local
The growing popularity of the organic and local food movement has made some reconsider the source of the traditional Halloween decorations and treats. (see this article from Slate). For the environmentally conscious, the criteria for the perfect pumpkin for this year's jack-o-lantern included two more traits besides size and shape – organic and local. Fortunately, a pumpkin is a type of produce that for many of us has always been locally sourced – a fall weekend outing to pick a pumpkin complete with the obligatory hayride is almost an American tradition. Finding an organically grown one is slightly more challenging, though by no means impossible. Much more trying, however, is the task of procuring organic, yet still tasty and affordable, treats to delve out on Halloween. Despite the difficulty of this task, it is an environmentally important one, as separate studies by environmental scientists in Sweden and Great Britain have suggested that consumers cut the amount of sugary foods in their diets by as much as 50 percent. With the National Confectioners Association projecting that at least $2.2 billion worth of candy will be sold this Halloween season, if a larger portion of that were spent on organic candy the environment and our health might be improved.
Give Moderately
The final tip is the simplest of them all, and it has the dual benefit of saving money and the environment, though it may upset some children. On October 31, when trick-or-treaters come knocking, by all means bring out the candy, but instead of allowing them to take handfuls from a giant bucket, consider giving only one piece to each child. This simple act of moderation will not only serve a similar function as buying organic in that it reduces the amount of sugary foods in our diets, but it will also reduce the waste created by candy wrappers. Though most candy wrappers are made from plastic they are generally not recyclable and therefore end up in landfills. Different from the one-type plastic used to make soft drink bottles, candy wrappers are usually made up of mixed materials, making the recovery of useful materials difficult and expensive. Taking even a fraction of this waste out of the stream will undoubtedly help the planet.
YCELP wishes you and yours a Happy (and Green) Halloween!

Honolulu — After the closure of four Gold's Gym locations left the chain with only one gym in Hawaii, Gold's Gym International plans to open several franchised fitness centers in the state, according to the Honolulu Advertiser.
Keith Albright, senior vice president for franchising at Gold's, says the company plans to open five to seven Gold's Gyms in Hawaii in the next few years. The company, which is seeking one or more franchisees to expand the chain, will take over the existing location in Honolulu.
"We think we can make it easy for them to start by taking over that location and use it as a launching pad," Albright tells the newspaper. "We're very excited about the opportunity we have in Hawaii. It's kind of like a relaunch of the brand."
24 Hour Fitness has eight locations in Hawaii, and Curves International has more than 20 Hawaii locations, according to the Advertiser. Other competitors in the state include smaller chains and independent health clubs.
Prospective franchisees need to have a minimum net worth of $800,000 and liquid assets of at least $300,000, Albright told the newspaper.

Hyatt M. Gibbs, an OSA Fellow and a professor emeritus of optical sciences at the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences, died Monday, 3 September 2012, in France, after a long battle with mesothelioma. He was 74.
Gibbs, who earned his B.S. from North Carolina State University in 1960, graduated with a Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1965. After two years at Berkeley as acting assistant professor, he joined the technical staff at Bell Telephone Laboratories (now Bell Labs), where he remained until joining the University of Arizona Optical Sciences Center (now the College of Optical Sciences) in 1980. He became Emeritus in 2011. During his time at Bell, he also served as an exchange scientist with Philips Research Laboratories (United Kingdom) and as a visiting lecturer at Princeton University.
Gibbs' research, which he pursued with Galina Khitrova, concentrated on optical physics, including femtosecond spectroscopy and the molecular beam epitaxy machine. Their group was the first to observe true strong coupling in semiconductor cavity QED with a single quantum dot in a photonic crystal slab nanocavity, which is being optimized for telecommunications applications. He remained active in his research even after his retirement, and continued working until two days before his death.
Hyatt Gibbs earned numerous honors for his work, including the 1984 Franklin Institute Michelson Medal and the 1998 Humboldt Research Award. An OSA member since 1976, he was named a Fellow in 1981. He was also a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Physical Society and the Franklin Institute. He was the sole author of Optical Bistability: Controlling Light with Light and coauthored Nonlinear Photonics with Khitrova and fellow OSC professor Nasser Peyghambarian.

I am back from a road trip to Miami (approximately 2300 miles round trip). It was great to get away but it is nice to be home. Here are a few photos from the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, FL.
A student and instructor of Okinawa Kenpo Karate and Kobudo. Thoughts on Karate, Tai Chi, ACL Reconstruction and the Challenges of Parenting.
It looks beautiful Michele, I'd love to visit a place like that. Thanks for sharing the photos. 2300 mile road trip? That's a long way!
We drove from PA to Miami. The gardens were beautiful. The water level was very low so the fountains were not functioning. I had a tough time adjusting to the heat and humidity. It was over 90 degrees at 10:00 a.m.!
Thanks for commenting. I am glad you liked the pictures.
Great pics, Michele. I love the Japanese style. Your post on paths was very zen. Thanks.
Thanks Journeyman!

When I first started chasing smallmouth with my flyrod, my bible was Harry Murray's Fly Fishing for Smallmouth Bass, which sadly seems to be out of print (though easily available used through Amazon.com). Murray has a more recent condensed and updated book about flyfishing for smallmouth, but it's not the same book. It has more recent fly patterns and color photos, but lacks the depth and cool Dave Whitlock illustrations of the first book.
The book is really chock full of advice on fishing for smallmouth in streams and rivers while wading. He breaks down the parts of a stream, and walks you through fishing the different parts.
It's also full of great fly patterns that I first found here: Murray's Strymph, James Wood Bucktail, Silver Outcast (my go-to shallow minnow pattern), Murray's Hellgrammite, and more. I'll be tying and writing about some of these patterns in the coming weeks.

In a statement issued Monday by the White House, Obama said Britain's first woman prime minister showed "our daughters that there is no glass ceiling that can't be shattered." Obama says many Americans remember Thatcher, who died Monday from a stroke at age 87, standing "shoulder to shoulder" with President Ronald Reagan during the Cold War. He says she showed then that leaders don't have to be swept along by the currents of history, but can shape them "with moral conviction, unyielding courage and iron will."

Bradley says he is getting close
Guard may soon join in practice
While the Celtics continue to search for cohesion and production from their frontline players, Avery Bradley is getting closer to returning for coach Doc Rivers.
Bradley has been working out before practices and rehabilitating his surgically repaired shoulders, and said before Wednesday's 104-94 win over the Timberwolves at TD Garden he is close to practicing with the team. Bradley has not played or participated in full-contact workouts since Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the 76ers.
Bradley underwent surgery on both shoulders to repair a condition that caused them to pop out of their sockets. The Celtics have been cautious with his recovery.
"I feel a lot better,'' Bradley said. "I'm just so excited that I'm getting more closer medically. I can't wait to see my teammates. Every single day I come in, I tell the trainers to have them test me out to see how strong I am.''
Bradley's rehabilitation consists of swimming, weightlighting, and hours of shooting.
"Doc kind of stays out of [when I would return],'' Bradley said. "It's really up to the trainers and the strength and conditioning coaches and me, to see how I feel. It's hard for him to determine because I'm such a tough guy and I want to get out there. They put me through a lot of tests because I lie to them sometimes because I want to be back. They're just protecting me and I want to protect myself because when I come back I want to have no setbacks.
"I feel a lot better. I'm doing pushups now. I try to do them every single day. I feel a lot stronger; it's like night and day how I feel from two weeks ago.''
Rivers acknowleged he doesn't inquire about injuries so he sounded stunned about Bradley's status.
"Is that right? Wow, that's great to hear,'' the coach said. "I'm very happy to hear the news. Honestly, I didn't know that because I don't check. I don't focus on that stuff. With Avery, I just talk to him every day and see how he's doing. I never really asked.''
Stiemsma returns
Wednesday marked the return to Boston for second-year center Greg Stiemsma, who played a solid rookie season for the Celtics before signing with the Timberwolves. Stiemsma is averaging 3.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12-plus minutes per game as a reserve.
The Celtics plucked Stiemsma from training camp of Sioux Falls of the NBADL last season and he averaged 2.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks. Stiemsma blocked five or more shots in a game four times.
The Timberwolves offered Stiemsma more money and the Boston brass did not want to reach the league's luxury tax by matching the two-year, $5.2 million contract.
"I felt like it was just a better fit for this season,'' he said when asked why he left for Minnesota. "With the way Minnesota's team was starting to build up, I thought I could be a fit here. Nothing against what I had in Boston, I'm very grateful for the opportunity. I thought it was a better fit here.''
The Timberwolves are filled with big men but playing time has increased for Stiemsma with injuries to Kevin Love
and Andrei Kirilenko.
"I still gotta feel like I got that chip on my shoulder where nothing's ever going to be given, everything's got to be taken,'' he said. "This whole season has been like that with all the injuries we've had. Guys have had to step up. You're given different opportunities and it's about how you deal with it.''
Stiemsma was never quite 100 percent last season with plantar fasciitis in his left foot and a bone bruise in his right foot. He was not able to practice or participate in shootarounds in certain stretches and took the entire summer off to heal. He skipped an opportunity to play with the USA Select team to prepare for this season.
"The second half of the season, my foot was sore,'' he said. "Overall it was pretty painful. You guys saw me in the boot. It definitely feels good to be healthy again.''
He had 2 points, 2 blocks, and 2 fouls in 9 minutes Wednesday night.
Comeback pattern
The Celtics recalled rookie Kris Joseph after a brief stint back with the Red Claws. Joseph spent two games with the Celtics while Rajon Rondo served his suspension. He is likely back to provide depth for Leandro Barbosa, who missed Tuesday's practice with an illness but suited up Wednesday. Rivers said he did not want play the reserve guard; he played the final 4.2 seconds of the third quarter . . . The Timberwolves were without Kirilenko, who missed the past three games with back spasms. Also, Ricky Rubio, the team's talented point guard, was working out on the court before the game but there is no timetable for his return from a torn left anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament . . . In four games for Maine, Fab Melo is averaging 7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2 blocked shots . . . Minnesota's Kevin Love, a career 81.7-percent free throw shooter, is at 64.9 percent after missing six of 12 Wednesday night.

Stoosh wrote:#2 - Metroid - Metroid was just about as big a space adventure game as you could make on the NES. I think it's a little underrated because of the immense popularity of my #1 choice, but it's just as much fun to play. The variations in the levels were incredible, and the background music helped make the game an even better experience. The Metroid creatures may have been one of the single most "intimidating" bosses to try and beat.
Although I love the Metroid series (Metroid Prime and Super Metroid are 2 of my favorite games ever), I left this off because I just don't enjoy the original as much as some of the others. It is impressive for what it did on the NES though...

SEATTLE — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed a revision in the critical habitat designation for a species of lynx listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
The proposal would designate more than 41,000 square miles within the states of Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Wyoming as critical habitat for the Canada lynx.
The federal government is asking for public comment on aspects of the proposal, including whether areas where the lynx have recently moved into, including parts of New Hampshire and Vermont, should be added to the critical habitat.
The proposed revision comes after several snowmobiling groups launched unsuccessful legal challenges of the previously designated critical habitat.
As part of the proposal announced Wednesday, federal officials said they considering excluding more than 1,900 square miles of tribal lands within the states of Maine, Montana and Washington.
The new critical habitat adds some land as well, including some private timber lands in northern Maine, as well as Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service land in northeastern Wyoming. The lynx have been protected since 2000.
The Center for Biological Diversity applauded the Fish and Wildlife proposal, saying the extra space could help the rare wildcat whose population has been reduced by trapping and habitat loss.
"Like many animals, Canada lynx need quiet places free of disturbance from snowmobiles and other human activities to survive, so we're thrilled the Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed expanding their critical habitat," said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity.
The federal government has also asked the public to consider whether some lands in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and Washington should be considered essential habitat, in part because they connect the places where lynx live.

Check out our full review of the Yamaha PDX-B11 bluetooth speaker.
Many wireless speaker makers levy the dubious claim that their wares are "portable". All too often, though, that's just because the speaker was made small and runs on batteries. Yamaha had another approach to portability in mind when designing its PDX-B11 Bluetooth speaker. Not only is this thing compact and truly rugged – as in: it should survive the good bit of knocking around that often goes along with portability – but it even includes a handy dandy handle to make it practical to carry around.
The Yamaha PDX-B11 features AAC-compatible Bluetooth technology that makes it easy to connect to a smartphone, tablet or music player, and it can stream music wirelessly from up to 10 meters distance over the 2.4GHz wireless band. With it, you can also cut the power cord, and get your tunes for up to eight hours on six AA batteries (better factor those into the long-term cost).
It appears to be built well enough to properly kick out the jams, too. Within the unit is a single 4-inch woofer and 1 3/8-inch tweeter, which Yamaha claims work together through an advanced two-way system. While the PDX-B11 isn't likely to replace anyone's multi-channel surround sound systems, the key to this speaker is its practical portability, and that makes it worth a closer look.
The PDX-B11 is available to go wherever you do for about $180, plus the cost of batteries.

Sea-ice-snow-air physiochemical interactions
Arctic sea ice mediates the exchange of heat, fluids, and gases between the ocean and the atmosphere, and in doing so plays an important role in global climate. Bromide, one of the constituents of sea water, plays an important role in Polar tropospheric chemistry, and we are interested in how it enters the atmosphere from the sea. In an effort to understand the transport of bromide through sea ice and the snow lying on it, we are studying the stratigraphic variations in chemistry in the sea ice-snow column and the microstructural location of the bromide in the ice and snow. We use ion chromatography, X-ray micro computed tomography (MicroCT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray microanalysis at Dartmouth, and synchrotron X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (SXFS) at Argonne National Laboratory.
This work is funded by the National Science Foundation through the Antarctic Atmospheres and Oceans Program and the Arctic Natural Sciences Program.

The White Buffalo to Perform at Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip, 3/2
Singer/Songwriter The White Buffalo comes to Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip Saturday, March 2nd.
Special guest Jack EVan Johnson, frontman for local Vegas favorites DUDE CITY, will be opening the show.
Jake Smith's "White Buffalo" consists of Matt Lynott on drums and Tommy Andrews on bass. Alone or with his band, The White Buffalo incorporates blues, old time country, folk and rock into a stripped down unmistakable sound.
The White Buffalo is a reference to a big powerful kind of American Symbol, which is a perfect moniker for Jake. Everything about him is big, from his physical size to his amazing vocal range. The White Buffalo represents an authentic homage to hard life on the road, when artists truly lived what they sang about.
The White Buffalo's first full-length album, Hogtied Like a Rodeo, debuted in 2002, followed by The White Buffalo EP. Off the grid for a while, The White Buffalo returned in 2010 with the release of his second EP, Prepare for Black and Blue.
Being a great lyrical storyteller and singing with honesty and thoughtful reflection is something that comes naturally to Jake. His recently released, Once Upon a Time in The West, is his second full length album. With a more varied subject matter which includes more feel good songs, he is hoping to reach a broader range of people.

Bruce Nauman, American
[ More Details ]
Gathering works of art in which words are conceived not only as communicational tools but also as visual and physical things in themselves, this exhibition highlights objects from the collection from the 1960s to the present—including the recent acquisition, Georges Adéagbo's Abraham—L'ami de Dieu (Abraham—Friend of God). Conceptual works, pieces in which visual and verbal signs are organized around a narrative, and works in which words signify through both their linguistic meaning and their pictorial and material nature are all presented.
From large, cursive, pink neon and thickly stenciled black paint to more intimately scaled printed texts and handwritten notes, the range of mediums in these objects points out the importance of the use of texts in contemporary art. Combining words and images in inventive ways, many of the works on view also call attention to language as a source of power and challenge audiences to renegotiate conventional divisions between the visual and the verbal.
This exhibition takes its title from a partial quotation from Wallace Stevens's poem "Men Made Out of Words."
SupportThis project was realized with the generous support of Dennis and Gisela Alter. Additional support was provided by Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz.
CuratorsCarlos Basualdo • Curator of Contemporary Art

A winner was selected from 73 designs submitted by 42 freelance designers.
The root of my success in business is in Sales. Every job I had before i started my business prior to 1983 was in sales. Then in the early days of my business I made a living from knocking on doors and selling books door to door. Then started my financial services business and sold myself to success. First on my own and then by leveraging myself and building a sales and management team. Therefore everything I built was as a result of my sales skills. I have also qualified multiple times for the million dollar round table at their highest level Top of the table. Out of 15000 people at work in Gibraltar we acquired 8000 clients. My leadership, management, motivational, time management, delegation, negotiation skills and business acumen, nlp, goal setting, etc came later and as a result of being successful in sales. So what we are doing needs to be niched in sales. I want to appeal to everybody in sales, however my bio will say that i am the leading expert in success in sales for the financial services industry.

At that time, I was convinced that I was getting a divorce. There was no way I would stay with someone who would do something so horrible to me and our kids. Who does that? How disrespectful. He had no problem taking his wedding ring off to be with her...and to me, by taking his wedding ring off he was breaking his commitment to me and our marriage to each other.
Not having my wedding rings on really hurt him and he realized the real damage that he has done to us. How he didn't see that while he was with her is beyond my comprehension...selfishness along with mental illness I suppose (but that's for another post).
I won't put those rings on again. As we work to repair our marriage, I feel as though we are creating a new relationship and in time, a new marriage. The one we had before is dead. It's gone. Our wedding rings, which used to be a symbol of our love and commitment to each other, is now just a symbol of loss and betrayal...
Did you take or would you take your wedding rings off?

Ricki Lake & Fiancé Christian Evans Elope In A Secret Ceremony
Rather than celebrating their love with a big wedding, Ricki and her fiancé opted to elope in a secret ceremony — congratulations to the happy couple!
Keeping their big day as far away from the paparazzi as possible, Ricki Lake, 43, and fiancé Christian Evans tied the knot on Sunday, April 8 in a private ceremony in Southern California — we couldn't be happier for the newlyweds!
"It was a beautiful moment I will never forget," the talk show host told PEOPLE on eloping. "I wasn't anxious or nervous. I was really relaxed and excited."
After her first marriage with Rob Sussman ended in divorce, the former Dancing With the Stars runner-up didn't think she'd ever marry again!
"I didn't think it would happen at this point in my life," Ricki said. But luckily things changed once she met Christian."We just clicked," she added. "It just feels like he was the right one all along."
We're so glad her new man was able to change her mind!

I'd fed up with Norton (again) and am looking for another anti-virus program. Some of them, I see, claim only to work with Outlook, Eudora, and a few others. Can someone suggest a solid, trustworthy AV program that will scan in- and out-going Poco mail? If it were part of an Internet security package, that would be fine, too. Thanks.
