SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Apple Inc. turned positive Thursday morning following an earlier decline, with the stock up 1.5% to $547 in the second hour of trades. Apple AAPL, -4.62% shares have taken a hit this week, falling more than 9% from Monday's opening price to Wednesday's close. The shares were down initially more than 2% after Thursday's opening bell before starting to pick up. No specific news was driving the stock; a hearing in a federal court in San Jose, Calif., will begin shortly on proposed penalties against Samsung for its early loss to Apple in a jury verdict from August. Apple CEO Tim Cook also gave a wide-ranging interview to Bloomberg Businessweek, where he discussed his leadership of the company and conceded that "we screwed up" with the controversial release of its mapping application for the iPhone 5.

The Gates Center for Regenerative Medicine held an iPSC Culture Course at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus on March 10-17, 2014; April 14-21, 2014; August 24-28, 2015 December 14-18, 2015
If you would like to inquire into participating in this course in the future, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dear Colleagues,
The Gates Center for Regenerative Medicine, with support from the Dean of the School of Medicine, has established a Core facility that generates induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center and other Colorado Universities.
Background: iPSCs have biological properties similar to embryonic stem (ES) cells. These cells can be generated from adult tissue cells (e.g. skin fibroblasts) by the introduction of a combination of transcription factors (reprogramming factors). iPSCs can be differentiated into many cell lineages. Consequently, it is anticipated that iPSCs will be essential tools for the generation of replacement tissues for regenerative medicine, for the screening of new drugs and small molecules aimed at modifying specific cellular processes, and for the design of new therapeutic strategies to treat genetic diseases. Further, the recent development of new genome editing tools, such as zinc finger nucleases (ZFN) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), allow for the genetic modification of iPSCs, raising the possibility to generate gene-corrected iPSCs from patients with genetic diseases, which can be used to generate healthy tissues.
Services: The new iPSC Core generates custom-designed iPSCs from mouse and human cells, including disease-specific human iPSCs. iPSCs from other species are currently under development. The Core is currently using both lentiviral- and sendai viral vector systems to deliver reprogramming factors to cells. Both systems are efficient, with the latter system having the advantage to generate iPSCs with a non-DNA-integrating vector system.
In order to obtain further information about our services, service pricing, to schedule consultations or to placing service requests, please contact email@example.com.
Peter J. Koch, Ph.D.Core Director, Professor
"All communications with the Core must be routed through the email@example.com mailbox. Briefly state your questions or concerns. Your email will be routed to appropriate core personnel."

Torrent description
If you are trying to prevent websites from gathering information about your location and your Internet provider, you could try installing Hide IP Platinum. This software is supposed to hide your real IP address by forwarding all your internet traffic through a proxy server. It finds proxy servers automatically so you don't need to do it yourself. You just click "Change IP" in the application's menu and you're good to go. This menu shows up when you right-click the tray icon. Of course, it's recommended that you test your current proxy server, by accessing any webpage that shows your IP.
The program can automatically redirect you to a website, which will detect your current IP, but I don't recommend using this feature. Instead, I would search Google using a search string like "my IP address". Most of the sites I found this way displayed information about my location even though Hide IP was running. The proxies that the program chose for me were the problem. Each proxy forwarded my IP information using a special HTTP header (HTTP_CLIENT_IP).
It's very important to be aware that there are proxy servers that record everything sent to them. They may record any private data, which is sent unencrypted. There is no way to know for sure whether the proxies chosen by Hide IP Platinum are secure. We just have to trust the publisher on this.
Pluses: Offers basic identity concealment.
Drawbacks / flaws:
In conclusion: If you need a software which hides your IP address, download Hide IP Platinum.
version reviewed: 3.3
Hide IP Platinum Publisher's Description
Concerned about Internet privacy? Want to hide your IP address? Hide IP Platinum is the software you are looking for! Keeping your privacy is simple and easy: the only thing you need to do is open Hide IP Platinum. Hide IP Platinum will find the proxy server available to you and set it as your proxy server automatically. There is nothing need you to concern. Hide IP Platinum have done everything for you

The Weeklies
Monica Potts
From the outside, it is hard to know that people live in the Ramada Inn. The parking lot is always empty. The hotel sits facing a wide suburban boulevard called Kipling Street, just off Interstate 70 in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The interchange where Kipling meets the freeway is packed mornings and evenings with daily commuters going to or coming from Denver and with skiers heading west into the Rockies. Hotels dot I-70 as it cuts through the 764-square-mile stretch of suburbia that runs from the city into the mountains, but at the intersection with Kipling is a cluster of seven budget-savers that travel websites warn tourists away from. The hotels advertise low prices—ranging from $36 to $89 a night—on neon signs next to gigantic flags that whip in the Front Range wind. Most offer even lower weekly or monthly rates. The Ramada is farther from the frontage road than the other hotels and is harder to notice, with its plain yellow stucco and dimly lit red sign.
Inside the lobby, which has wide windows and a clear view of a long, low mountain called Table Top and the snowy peaks beyond, are plenty of clues that the Ramada is more than just a hotel. Off the lobby sit two sets of washers and dryers that each take a dollar in quarters, and on weekends families use one of the bellhop carts kept in a back hall to roll out baskets of dirty laundry. In the late afternoon, schoolchildren do their homework on the dozen tables where guests have breakfast. Residents sit at the two computers with Internet connections. They wander around in sock-clad feet and chat with whomever they run into.
At any given time, roughly 20 to 40 guests are staying long term. Since they pay by the week, they call themselves "weeklies."
Ghosts of the Rio Grande
Brendan Borrell
The path across the border is littered with bodies. Bodies old and bodies young. Bodies known and bodies unknown. Bodies hidden, bodies buried, bodies lost, and bodies found. The stories of the dead haunt the frontier towns from Nuevo Laredo to Nogales, and even deep within the interior of Mexico down to Honduras, someone always knows someone who has vanished—one of los desaparecidos—during their journey north.
Many of those missing end up in the South Texas soil. Out on the Glass Ranch, a man named Wayne Johnson stumbles upon a skull, some bones, and a pair of dentures scattered near a dry pond. During a bass fishing tournament at La Amistad Lake, anglers come upon a decomposing corpse near the water's edge. Late one summer night, a train rumbles down the Union Pacific Line, but it fails to rouse a father and son slumbering on the tracks. For 2012, Brooks County, with a population of just 7,223, reported 129 deaths from immigrants trying to evade the Border Patrol checkpoint in Falfurrias, double the previous year. The county judge told the San Antonio Express-News that Brooks had run out of space for John Does in its Sacred Heart Cemetery.
The dead appear in springtime, when temperatures hit the triple digits, their fading T-shirts and tennis shoes strewn about the land like wilted wildflowers. Whether they tried to cross for money, love, or security, they did so knowing they might not make it alive.
The Homeschool Apostates
Kathryn Joyce
At 10 P.M. on a Sunday night in May, Lauren and John, a young couple in the Washington, D.C., area, started an emergency 14-hour drive to the state where Lauren grew up in a strict fundamentalist household. Earlier that day, Lauren's younger sister, Jennifer, who had recently graduated from homeschooling high school, had called her in tears: "I need you to get me out of this place." The day, Jennifer said, had started with another fight with her parents, after she declined to sing hymns in church. Her slight speech impediment made her self-conscious about singing in public, but to her parents, her refusal to sing or recite scripture was more evidence that she wasn't saved. It didn't help that she was a vegan animal-rights enthusiast.
After the family returned home from church, Jennifer's parents discovered that she had recently been posting about animal rights on Facebook, which they had forbidden. They took away Jennifer's graduation presents and computer, she told Lauren. More disturbing, they said that if she didn't eat meat for dinner she'd wake up to find one of the pets she babied gone.
To most people, it would have sounded like overreaction to innocuous forms of teenage rebellion. But Lauren, who'd cut ties with her family the previous year, knew it was more.
Los Infiltradores
Michael May
When Marco Saavedra was arrested for the first time, during a September 2011 protest against U.S. immigration policy in Charlotte, North Carolina, he thought he was prepared. It was what he'd come to do. Still, he was taking a risk. Saavedra is undocumented, and he was aware that the Charlotte police had an agreement with the federal government, under what's known as the 287(g) program, that gave them the power to apprehend illegal immigrants and turn them over for deportation. Saavedra, who was then 21, had known dozens of undocumented activists who'd been arrested without being deported. But as he was sitting, handcuffed, in a gray-brick holding cell at the county jail, it was hard to suppress the fear. He'd felt it most of his life, since his parents brought him from rural Mexico to New York City when he was three; growing up, he'd done all he could to make sure that even his closest friends didn't know his status.
"The euphoria of the protest, the chanting in the street, was gone," he says. "It was lonely and desolate. They took us out one by one to process us. And one of the others came back with paperwork indicating they planned to send him to an immigration detention center in Georgia. I panicked for a moment."

The Passion of Dan Choi
Gabriel Arana
On a Wednesday in August, Dan is setting up for Hungry Hungry Hippos night. On the white coffee table, he's laid out a platter with sliced boiled eggs dusted with paprika; mini carrots and tomatoes; Sour Patch Kids; and a dozen pot cupcakes that have collapsed into themselves. "I can make brownies, but the cupcakes I can't get right," he says. He's got backup: a six-foot glass bong. The table's centerpiece is Hungry Hungry Hippos, a children's game in which players operate four plastic mechanical hippos and try to gobble up as many marbles on the board as possible.
By the time an artist friend walks through the door, Dan is stoned, a fact he broadcasts loudly. "I'm high!" he tells her before bursting into high-pitched laughter. Dan offers her a hit, bringing a flame to the bowl. She takes one, exhaling with a grimace.
"What is that?" she says.
"Isn't it great?" Dan asks.
"I used whiskey instead of water for the filter." "It's harsh, man," she says.
U.S. Out of Vermont
Christopher Ketcham
During the Obama years, secession has mostly been an antic folly of the political right, courtesy of Texas nationalists, Dixie nostalgists, white supremacists, "sovereign citizens," and gun nuts. There was no small amount of hypocrisy, of course, in this conservative rebellion. When Texas Governor Rick Perry in 2009 spoke publicly about a possible Lone Star secession, he billed it as a constitutional right in the face of overreaching government—though Republicans mostly hadn't complained when George W. Bush was demanding profligate budgets and stabbing the sacred document with pencil holes.
Yet here in granola-eating, hyper-lefty, Subaru-driving Vermont was a secession effort that had been loud during the Bush years, had not ceased its complaining under Barack Obama, did not care for party affiliation, and had welcomed into its midst gun nuts and lumberjacks and professors, socialists and libertarians and anarchists, ex-Republicans and ex-Democrats, truck drivers and schoolteachers and waitresses, students and artists and musicians and poets, farmers and hunters and wooly-haired woodsmen.
The Task-Rabbit Economy
At the rate things are going, tens of millions of us could end up in the role of Task Rabbits. Not actual Task Rabbits, mind you. But temps, contract employees, casual day laborers, baristas, warehouse pickers at Amazon, fast-food workers, call-center operators, nurse's aides, underemployed "consultants," and adjunct professors all have one core trait in common with freelance errand-runners: They have lost bargaining power. Even people with regular paychecks are less likely than their parents to have decent pay, benefits, and job security. In its technology, the Task Rabbit economy is very 21st-century, but it brings back the 19th, an era when most people who didn't farm or own property were casual labor.

An American flag, a pocket for your shades, a white t-shirt and jeans as rustic blue as his eyes: Ralph Lauren as photographed by Bruce Weber.
Polo vaulting with an Olympian of impeccable taste and style. A Ralph Lauren exclusive interview by James J. Spina
At this prime-of-life stage of the game you might say it's all in the cars.
No. Not the cards.
The cars.
Even though Ralph Lauren has one of the most-esteemed automobile collections in the world we're not talking about the prestige of ownership he gets from possessing these vehicular gems. We're actually talking about the power of inspiration the legendary creators of these innovative, wheeled dreams have had on a man arguably unattended by would-be peers in his chosen tastemaker profession.
"At some point in my long relationship and love of cars," Lauren observes, "I became aware of a powerful degree of admiration for these highly creative individuals such as Ettore Bugatti and Enzo Ferrari, and David Brown at Aston Martin and Jaguar's William Lyons. These men were spiritually connected to the cars they were developing. They were their brands. Their origins were based in something I look on or beyond as exciting sensibility. And that 'exciting sensibility' is an important part of what it takes to make people connect with what these automotive innovators were creating."
It happens right there. We're just about midway through this generously timed interview with Ralph Lauren in his (Oak-cloistered\Oxford-ish) Madison Avenue office and two simple words make a unique connection—'exciting' and 'sensibility'—and a man who has spent the last 40 years developing a lifestyle and lucrative livelihood based on products people adore has captured his own core.
Style RL 8020 as photographed by Carter Berg.
This meeting has been months in the making, always hedged by the corporate observation that "Mr. Lauren" doesn't really DO "too many" interviews. So 20/20 reads that gentle snub as gracious gospel, noting just in the recent past his polite abstaining from offering solid quotes and face-to-face time to a literal host of publications searching for the quintessence of what makes up Ralph Lauren as a business, a brand, a lifestyle and, most importantly, a unique designer and hugely successful business man.
Lauren greets me by literally bounding over to his office door in a manner and a visibility that is at once simple … yet excitable. He realizes we've met before (nearly 30 years ago when I was an art director at W magazine and Lauren was debuting his first licensed luggage collection) and comforts the whole interview process by "filling in" his senior VP of communications director on the exact details of that previous meeting.
"I was coming out with my first take on luggage and it was happening just as I was getting into my new turbo Porsche Carrera," notes Lauren. "The car had a sort of nasty ugliness to it but I reinterpreted that roughness to a ballistic outer material on the luggage that could literally take a bullet. And I completely lined the insides of the luggage with wonderful, soft kid-leather. No one had done that sort of secret switch before. It was function encasing luxury."
On this particular day Lauren is obviously (and probably as usual) enjoying the freedom of his unique style when it comes to dressing up and being "very Ralph Lauren." His jeans are well worn. No stone washing here. These blues are rubbed exactly right by Ralph. He's in a skin-tight black t-shirt (funny, but we never really recall seeing him in a … Ralph Lauren Polo shirt) and that close form of fit works well on what basically looks like the build of a teenage athlete, perhaps slightly small (compact might be a better description) but exceptionally lithe.
He ushers us over to the comfort of one of those modern, carbon-fibre-armed RL Home chairs and props his battered boots up on an expansive coffee table heaped with magazines, lavishly bookmarked art books and centered by a chrome/ bronzed caricatured sculpture of a raging race car. Everything about him is faster than this reporter: his eyes, his smile, his hands, his energy… all of
it laced with youthfulness only denied by some strong facial character lines and his full white shock of close cropped hair.
Immediate talk centers on the potential aspects of pasts shared growing up in the boros, for me, Queens, for him, the Bronx… he in the '50s, me in the '60s.
Serious fashion considerations rear communal heads instantly. He too has issues with the word "preppie" so often used to summarize details of his early forays into lifestyle clothing design. "In my day it was a matter of being either collegiate or a hood," agrees Lauren. "And I really understood that classic approach of following a look we also call Ivy League. Although if you look at me right now I'm looking more like a hood."
Far from it. Lauren is self-admittedly one of his best customers. "I'm totally involved with all of my products. Everything I make is my message and for years my goal has been to make the things I love."
Teetering on rugged good looks somewhere in between a younger New Yawk version of Paul Newman and a healthier, kinder Steve McQueen, Lauren is at ease and forthcoming about his early roots as a tie salesman aspiring to brand his own bold take on wide ties back in the late '60s. "I was working for a tie manufacturer doing private label for stores such as Brooks Brothers and Paul Stuart. I tried to convince them to do their own brand but they weren't interested. So I approached another tie maker from Cincinnati and they got it. I've always loved sports but it didn't make much sense to call my brand 'Basketball' or 'Baseball' so I decided on 'Polo.' Of course I didn't play polo but I liked that it represented a feeling of being international, European and yet very healthy American." For Lauren the name of the brand was simply a "symbol for a great quality of life."
He notes that these were the days long before branding ruled the apparel industry in the manner and majesty it does today. "Back then when I mentioned Polo most people would look at me funny and say 'You mean like Marco Polo?'" He admits it might have been a lucky guess but one gets the distinct impression part of Lauren's charm is a version of lucky that involves intense forethought and intricate planning and attention to minute details on all fronts. "I'm forever grateful that the company then through now has always had a substance of great dimensions and the potential to grow on a vast number of levels with attitudes and ideals shaped by my initial dream to express myself."
One of the goals continually guiding Lauren in his journey through many different phases and facets of Polo has been a faithfulness to understanding the company's constant future potential without the pitfalls of overexpansion. That particular forte leads him to his current licensing partnership with Luxottica.
And though I've been warned he might seem cool on the subject of eyewear, he literally leaps to his desk to retrieve his glasses so I can have a closer look at his personal eyewear. He shows me a pair of metal P3s describing them as his "John Denver" look. "I also wear a pair of large square-shaped black frames—I have them in dark tortoise shell too. I call those my 'Cary Grant' frames. I wore frames just like those long before I even needed to wear glasses. I just love the way they look."
Exciting Sensibility: PL 9763 and PH 2009
Lauren says he's always favored a larger frame size in any of the styles he wears. He prefers the more dramatic statement they make on a person's face … and on their personality. "Your eyewear needs to represent your confidence. It's an extension of all your taste and style … and it's right on your face, your eyes." When we point out his "Cary Grant" frames were actually featured in a 20/20 Modern Man feature (Ralph Lauren Purple Label 9751 from Luxottica) recently paired with a vintage string-back driving glove, Lauren inquires about ideal lenses for driving, stating he always wears sunglasses when he drives and since he likes to drive fast he needs optimum lens tech. We volunteer some information about the new Drivewear technology from Younger and he is eager to experience the difference. (We are waiting for his personal Rx in order to have a pair prepared for him in his choice of Luxottica Ralph Lauren frames.)
So here we are, rolling along on a definite "eyewear" high with Lauren even asking to see my glasses, a pair of P3 crystals from Anglo-American, and stating he knows and respects that brand. I cautiously ask him to sign the leather case of my new Ralph Lauren sunglasses (PL 9734) but he's more than pleased to practice some celebrity scripting.
And then the wind-down rears its head. Lauren is notified that his next meeting is patiently waiting in the wings. But there is no rush/push from Lauren and even as we're easing into our good-byes, he lets rip with one last quote that's a dazzler, saying "fashion is a function of lifestyle, and style a function of quality, integrity and timelessness."
He's got that right. No one could say it better. That's why HE's Ralph Lauren.

[tweetmeme]The Web is filled with fabulous teaching and learning content. How do you get students to use the Web to effectively ask questions, find information, evaluate information and create digital content?
Why not try a WebQuest?! "A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the Web" (WebQuest.org).
WebQuests have been around for about 15 years, so in Web history they are tried and true! Over the course of last year, several educators across the Middle East asked me about WebQuests. So, I've prepared a WebQuest about WebQuests (for Teachers) to share with participants in an upcoming 21st Century Teaching course I am leading this fall. If you are curious about WebQuests or are about to lead a training on WebQuests, I welcome you to share it!
To exploring the Web with many students this fall!

Fibrocystic Breast Disease and Mammogram
My doctor last week diagnosed me with fibrocystic breast disease and ordered a mammogram. My mother also has this condition, and our family has no history of breast cancer. I am only 30 and do not think a mammogram necessary. What would be the benefit of the mammogram?
Lawrence J. Solin, MD, FACR, Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania responds:
Mammograms are often obtained to evaluate the patient with a finding on physical examination, such as a breast mass. However, younger women tend to have dense breast tissue, and therefore, the ability of a mammogram in this age group to detect a breast mass is much less than for an older women. If the mammogram is negative (i.e., does not also show a mass), then other imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, may be considered, especially for the younger patient.
Breast cancer uncommonly does occur in young patients. Although the risk of breast cancer in a 30 year old woman is low, it is important to remember that an abnormal finding, such as a breast mass, should not be ignored, and any woman who suspects that she has a breast problem should seek prompt medical attention.

A river is a natural watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, a lake, a sea, or another river. In a few cases, a river simply flows into the ground and vanishes from the surface. Rivers originate as precipitation on high ground that flows downhill into creeks and streams. Water seeping out of the ground through saturated-soils adds to this volume. Together, these flows merge into rivers.
The Mahanadi Delta in India is formed by the convergence of three major rivers: the Mahanadi, Brahmani and Baitarini. The delta spans a coastline of 200 km and covers an area of 9,500 km2. More than one-third of the population in the state of Orissa depends on these freshwater and coastal wetlands for their economic security.
Inefficient management of the delta's water resources has degraded the natural environment and resulted in the loss of migratory fisheries, low agricultural productivity, declining incomes and health hazards. We are working to integrate the benefits provided by wetlands into the objectives of food and water security and adaptation to climate change. Read more

The wave of national soul-searching about the level of political vitriol and how it might have played a part in Saturday's shootings in Tucson, Ariz., now appears to be ebbing.
Following the shooting, which left six people dead and apparently targeted Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) of Arizona, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik suggested that "vitriol ... about tearing down the government" might have played a part. Rep. Robert Brady (D) of Pennsylvania has followed that lead, promising a bill that would outlaw threatening language against lawmakers.
But emerging information about primary suspect Jared Loughner suggests that he was motivated not by a climate of hate but rather by his own troubled mind and a personal vendetta against Congresswoman Giffords, who was injured in the attack. The investigation has not concluded, and more information could come to light. But for now, a majority of Americans are dismissing the notion that the shooter was set off by a Sarah Palin political map, tea party anger, or talk about "second amendment remedies."
A CBS poll Tuesday showed 57 percent of Americans don't believe political rancor played any role in the attack, with a plurality of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents agreeing.
Indeed, one piece of evidence collected so far is a 2007 letter from Giffords's office to Mr. Loughner, thanking him for attending a meet-and-greet event. On it is scrawled a death threat to Giffords. In 2007, Sarah Palin was a little-known Alaska governor and the tea party movement did not exist.
At this point, then, the left's initial eagerness to link the shooting to political anger on the right could backfire, says Charles Franklin, a pollster and political scientist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
"It was the immediate connection from the left of this shooting to political rhetoric from the right that polarized this, and here we have a case where there's a rush to blame Palin [and other conservatives] with no direct connection to her at all," he says. "And the more we learn about this guy, it seems there isn't any political motivation in a broader sense."
To be sure, Sheriff Dupnik put the issue on the national plate with his comments, and given that that the shooting appears to be a political assassination attempt in a politically rancorous border district, the debate on political tone was, in many ways, inevitable.
But critics point out that the nation largely refrained from linking Maj. Nidal Malik Hassan – the suspect in the 2009 Fort Hood shootings – with terrorism.
In Loughner's case, no reported evidence so far suggests any connection to the ideology or ideologues of the right. A Loughner friend, Zach Osler, told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday that Loughner "did not watch TV. He disliked the news. He didn't listen to political radio. He didn't take sides. He wasn't on the left. He wasn't on the right."
That doesn't mean the issue of political rancor is unimportant, and some commentators are simply using this moment to argue that – regardless of the facts of the current case – political anger can have outsized effects on troubled minds.
"Among elite circles there is a sharp debate going on about [connections to campaign rhetoric]," says Mr. Franklin. "So we're seeing some people who deny that political rhetoric had any connection to the shooting, but who nonetheless are speaking out about the question of civility and the level of rhetoric, and they're coming from both the left and the right."
In a commentary today, the Rev. Jesse Jackson drew a comparison between Alabama Gov. George Wallace's heated rhetoric around race relations and its role in fueling the bombing of a Birmingham church that killed four young black girls in 1963.
"There is no evidence that Jared Loughner ... was a member of a right-wing hate group," Mr. Jackson writes. "He was clearly a young man whose mind was unraveling. But it is exactly the mentally unstable who are most likely to be influenced by an atmosphere filled with hate and murderous rhetoric."
Sarah Palin made the boldest pushback yet in a video released Wednesday. "Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own. They begin and end with the criminals who commit them, not collectively with all the citizens of a state," Ms. Palin said.

"BEE" – by Rose-Lynn Fisher
"The first time I looked at a bee's eye magnified I was amazed to see a field of hexagons, just like honeycomb. I wondered, is this a coincidence or a clue? Is it simply that hexagons are ubiquitous in nature, or is there a deeper correspondence between the structure of the bee's vision and the structure she builds – in other words, similar frequencies being expressed in similar form? This got me pondering on the connection between vision and action at a more abstract, metaphoric level. Is there a parallel kind of encoding relevant to humanity? At a refined level of our own nature, does our deeper capacity to see and to do correspond with an intrinsic structuring?"

CARSON, Calif. – Any chance for LA Galaxy to acquire Seattle Sounders FC forward Eddie Johnson is a "long shot" according to Club President Chris Klein.
A report in the Washington Post on Saturday stated that the Galaxy were among three teams (D.C. United and Chivas USA being the others) interested in Johnson, who scored nine goals and two assists during a tumultuous 2013 season for Seattle. The rumor comes amid statements from LA head coach and general manager Bruce Arena and Klein himself, that the Galaxy are interested in acquiring a target forward ahead of the 2014 season.
During a town hall forum with Landon Donovan during the club's "Meet Your Seat" event on Sunday, Klein responded to the rumors.
"The rumors are out that we're interested in him… it's an odd thing, but he will not be back in Seattle, we know that for sure. Eddie's a player that has done great things, he's scored a lot of goals and he's part of the national team," Klein said. "I don't want to say that we're not interested in Eddie, but I think that it will be a longshot for him to be in a Galaxy uniform come 2014. However, we're always looking for players who can add to what [our team does]. We'll always be in the market."
Klein also noted that the Galaxy will have Marcelo Sarvas and Juninho returning for 2014 stating that the club feels "good about what they have" in central midfield which includes Baggio Husidic who was signed last month.
Thoughts on Klein's statements on the Eddie Johnson rumors? Happy Sarvas is likely returning?

Many families look forward to the Halloween season each year, as children toting plastic pumpkins heavy with candy walk through neighborhoods dressed as princesses and pirates.
Even adults and parents get into the Halloween spirit by decorating their homes for parties.
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel issued a consumer alert today to remind parents of a few ways they can protect their children.
"Even the most seasoned parents should review safety tips as the holiday approaches," McDaniel said. "Let's keep our children safe this year so that we can all enjoy the excitement of Halloween."
McDaniel joins the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in urging parents and party-goers to follow these precautions:
• Select flame-resistant materials, masks, beards and wigs.
• Minimize exposure to open flames, such as jack-o-lantern candles, by selecting costumes without baggy sleeves and billowing skirts.
• Choose costumes with light, bright colors whenever possible.
• Consider trimming darker costumes with reflective tape.
• Apply makeup to children's faces instead of selecting loose-fitting masks that might restrict vision.
• Swords, knives and other accessories should be made of soft and flexible materials.
• Children and parents should wear sturdy, comfortable shoes with low heels.
McDaniel also wants to make consumers aware of a warning from the Arkansas Optometric Association to never purchase or wear decorative contact lenses without a prescription and proper medical evaluation. Contact lenses used as fashion or costume accessories can severely damage eyes.
• Adults should always accompany small, excitable children to caution them against running into streets and across lawns. Children should use sidewalks where available.
• Have children carry flashlights.
• Children should never enter homes unless accompanied by an adult.
• Take children to familiar neighborhoods and approach only homes with outside lighting.
• Urge children to wait until they get home to eat candy so that adults can inspect their goodies.
• Parents should throw away any treats that aren't commercially wrapped or appear to be tampered with.
• Keep candlelit jack-o-lanterns away from landings and doorsteps where costumes may brush against flames.
• Indoor lanterns should be kept away from curtains, furnishings and other decorations that could ignite.
• Don't overload extension cords.

Grain Millers: What type of wheat do you prefer?
For those of you who grind your own wheat, what type of wheat berries do you prefer? Winter or spring wheat? Red or white? Do you prefer different types of wheat for diferent types of bread?
I just purchased a Nutrimill grain mill and bought 25 lbs of organic red winter wheat from Utah from my local health food store. Also purchased 25 lbs of organic Canadian rye. I haven't used the wheat yet, but the rye has been wonderful. Would be interested in your experiences. Thanks! Liz

Burger King is changing everything, and it's about time that it does. Wendy's surpassed it at the end of last year, and it has been completely left in the dust by arch rival McDonald's.
Bill Ackman's wittily titled presentation, " Justice is a dish best served flame broiled" outlines the rebranding process Burger King is counting on to turn things around.
The main goal is to make the brand more appealing to a wider demographic.
Previously, Burger King put all its energy into targeting 18-35 year old males, but they only represent only 17% of the fast food market.
Menu — New salads, wraps and smoothies were developed to attract more females. Meanwhile, it's revamping its core items, like fries and soft-serve. Fries are a major concern for Burger King because it's the second biggest "brand attribute gap" between it and McDonald's.
Marketing — Burger King's old marketing tried to attract young males with humor and its King mascot. Now, it's going for a broader audience with a food-focused message.
Image — It's reimaging 40% of the chain's U.S. stores in the next three years to match its shift in marketing. That's the fastest reimaging of any major chain in the country.
Operations — Behind the scenes, Burger King is restructuring its U.S. teams and increasing its mid-level management so that operations can work more closely with restaurants.

This video, courtesy of Czech developers Warhorse (currently working on a historical RPG), shows some of the game's assets running as an example of "next gen" graphics.
While they're quick to point out this isn't an actual scene from the game, which is open-world and still without a name, the fact it's sharing assets and an engine (in this case, CryEngine 3) with their project means it must be close.
The clip was shown off as part of the 2012 Game Developers Session, held over the weekend in Prague.

Welcome to my website, a collection of pages which chart my racing career and keeps everyone up-to-date with my latest news.
I've been racing sportscars for over seven years after working my way through the ranks of karting and single-seaters.
During this time I've driven for Ferrari, Aston Martin and Porsche, competing in all the major sportscar series including European and American Le Mans Series and FIA GT and have raced in all the blue riband events: Le Mans 24 Hours, Daytona 24, Sebring 12 Hours and Petit Le Mans.
In 2012 I made a significant move to become a McLaren factory driver and I am very proud to be associated with a company which has an amazing heritage in motorsport and an impressive fledgling automotive business, which is quickly establishing itself as a truly British supercar marque.
My role with McLaren extends from developing its current racing model, the 650S GT3 car, racing with Von Ryan Racing as well as other McLaren GT customer teams and being involved in top-secret future projects in the road and race divisions of McLaren Automotive, which is very exciting!
Aside from my work with McLaren I'm also fitting in some other sportscar racing events as well as helping other racers, young and old, with my coaching services. It's great to share my experience and racing knowledge to develop drivers and help improve their performance. I'm also very proud to have coached three recent Autosport McLaren BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award winners.
Enjoy your visit!

Na, neither of those points are relevent to what his point was though:
"when his form died and he went through a lean patch his average fell away and he had little to fall back on because he never managed to score any centuries and win matches"
He was saying that for some reason a batsmen who hadn't scored many centuries in the past would lose their good average because of 'missed opportunities' or something. That would only be valid if to get a high average you have to score many centuries, which is simply not true as Watson shows. There are plenty of batsmen who over their entire careers have maintained high averages without having good conversion rates.
Last edited by Ruckus; 07-12-2010 at 10:15 PM.
The biggest problem is the failure of the top 3 to convert their starts these days
Even when all play well, 3 thrown away starts means that more often than not, we are at least 3 down for less than 150 and that simply isnt great
Unfortunately, that situation has been compounded by the average recent form of Hussey, Clarke and North so 3-150 can quickly become 6-200
Australia simply isnt wearing attacks down and the bowling side can be confident that 1 or 2 wickets are just around the corner
I don't know, watching Watson it's very hard to explain his lack of big scores. He looks very good when he starts off, and it's not even as if he throws his wicket away to a poor shot in the 50s, or gets out regularly to spinners etc. He just.... gets out. Katich on the other hand, often seems to get out fairly regularly when spinners are brought into the attack. Harbhajan and Ojha got him out a few times in India and Swann got him in the last innings.
Clarke and Hussey's form has been pretty good in the Ashes though.Unfortunately, that situation has been compounded by the average recent form of Hussey, Clarke and North so 3-150 can quickly become 6-200
Form doesnt really come into it as he seems to score runs in most situations irrespective of how he is hitting the ball.
Anyway, it wouldnt surprise me to see a big one soon as we all know how motivated the guy is to improve and Im sure he is determined to rectify the one problem with his batting

See where auto crime is happening near you with our interactive map
See how your neighbourhood's auto crime rate compares with our interactive map
METRO VANCOUVER -- North Surrey has the worst auto theft problem in B.C., with rates up to four times the provincial average, according to an analysis of ICBC claims.
Neighbourhoods around downtown Vancouver, Metrotown and north Richmond are the worst spots for vehicle break-ins.
To better understand auto crime in B.C., The Vancouver Sun asked ICBC for its raw data on auto crime.
The data provided by ICBC did not include personal information.
To calculate which areas of B.C. have the worst per capita rates of auto crime, The Sun analyzed the past three years of ICBC claims by postal code area and compared that to each postal code's population in 2011. There are about 190 postal code areas in B.C., each corresponding to the first three digits of postal codes.
An interactive map showing auto crime rates in every such area in B.C. is online at vancouversun.com. Using the map, readers can see how auto crime rates in their neighbourhood compare and how auto crime has changed in their area over the past 10 years.
The Sun's approach is better than simply counting the number of crimes in each neighbourhood, as it accounts for differences in population among postal code areas.
But it's not perfect, as some areas have many visitors by car but not necessarily a large permanent population. For example, many suburban residents drive downtown to work and people from across Metro Vancouver drive to Burnaby's Metrotown to shop.
There are also a handful of lightly populated postal codes that have misleadingly high auto crime rates because there are so few people in them.
For example, V6W in southeast Richmond technically has the highest auto crime rate in the province — 15 times the provincial average — but only nine cars were stolen there last year. Its rate is so high because its resident population is only 1,175, far smaller than most other postal codes.
Still, the analysis gives some indication of where the region's auto crime hot spots are.
The analysis found that three postal code areas in North Surrey — V3R, V3T and V3V — have among the worst stolen auto rates in the province.
The worst of the three, V3T — an area that includes three SkyTrain stations and Central City Shopping Centre — had an average annual stolen auto rate of 653 per 100,000 residents, more than four times the provincial average of 143.
RCMP Sgt. Gary Rodricks, head of Surrey's Auto Crime Target Team, said North Surrey's high rate of auto crime is likely due to a combination of poor neighbourhoods and large parking lots. While Surrey has been trying hard to revitalize North Surrey, Rodricks said, the area remains one of the poorest parts of the city and a popular place for criminals to congregate.
"Some of the renters are good, some of the renters are not so good," Rodricks said. "I joined the RCMP in 1993 and some of the problem apartment buildings then are the same problem apartment buildings we have now."
Combine that with huge surface parking lots — at the Scott Road and King George park and rides and several local malls — and you've got a recipe for high auto crime, he said.
The last thing a car thief wants is to be surprised by a vehicle's owner coming back to their car. That makes many of the cars parked in North Surrey particularly attractive, said Rodricks: People commuting to work on SkyTrain are away from their cars all day.
While North Surrey is B.C.'s hot spot for stolen cars, it's not the hot spot for thefts from automobiles.
Four downtown postal code areas — V6A, V6B, V6C and V6Z — are among the worst for auto break-ins. Joining them for high break-in rates are V5H, Burnaby's Metrotown, and V6X, an area of north Richmond that includes three Canada Line stations, the River Rock casino and Aberdeen Centre.
Metrotown, for example, has a theft from auto rate of 1,189 per 100,000 residents, four times the provincial average of 270.
Of the three north Surrey neighbourhoods with high stolen auto rates, only one — V3T — also makes the top 10 list for thefts from auto.
Det.-Const. Phil Ens, head of the Vancouver police Auto Crime Enforcement Team, said downtown Vancouver is a bad spot for car break-ins for one main reason: tourists.
Most Vancouver residents have been trained — by years of high property crime — to remove all valuables from their car and not leave even loose change in a visible spot. Visitors from the U.S. and overseas aren't so careful.
"People are not as [crime] savvy when they're coming from out of town," said Ens.
Tourists are a more attractive target for another reason, he said: they're less likely to show up to testify.
Ens said several court cases against thieves in Vancouver have fallen apart when police were unable to get the victim to return to court to testify.
"You've got to have someone say: 'That's my stuff,'" said Ens. "You need the victim."
VPD have had some luck getting tourists to sign affidavits before they go home, Ens said. But thieves know their chances of going to jail are less when they hit a tourist's vehicle and so they specifically target cars with out-of-province plates. That's also why VPD puts out-of-province plates on many of its bait cars, said Ens.
Another factor that makes downtown an attractive target for thieves, said Ens, is that many cars are parked in multi-level underground parkades, an environment that makes it much easier for thieves to hit many cars in a row.
"When you're in an underground parkade, you're in control because you can hear things coming," said Ens. "If thieves hear something, they can step in the shadows, the car goes by, and they're back to work."
While downtown Vancouver has some of the highest rates of vehicle break-ins in the province, the area has relatively low rates of stolen autos, despite the thousands of cars that come downtown every day.
Ens said that's because those same multi-level parkades that make breaking into cars so easy also make stealing the car itself pretty difficult.
"Theft of auto is more attractive in an open area because you can be gone quicker," said Ens.
In contrast, a thief stealing a car in a parkade usually has only one way out, and that way is typically blocked by a gate and an attendant who will see the thief's face.
Outside downtown Vancouver, some of the highest theft-from-auto rates in the province can be found in the neighbourhood around Metrotown. And it's no great mystery why: Metropolis at Metrotown is the largest shopping centre in B.C. and has more than 8,000 free parking spots, many of them underground.
Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt.-Major John Buis said the sheer size of Metropolis may contribute to the problem: People who are usually good about not leaving valuables in their car tend to make an exception when they're on a big shop.
"You're not going to one place. It's usually five, six, seven, 10 different shops," said Buis. "And if you're loaded down, that's a burden. So you go back to the car. And if someone's watching, you just brought 10 boxes back to your car and you're going back shopping."
Buis said he can't say precisely how much of the stuff stolen at Metrotown is still in shopping bags. But he suspects it's a lot.
"You look at some of these [crime] reports, it's amazing what people leave in their cars," he said. "It's things that are worth thousands of dollars: really nice cameras, iPods, iPads, computers."
The good news is that, as bad as auto crime is in some parts of Metro Vancouver, things are better than they used to be.
All of the neighbourhoods mentioned above have seen significant drops in both theft of autos and theft from autos in the past 10 years.
For example, while about 200 cars were stolen in the North Surrey neighbourhood of V3T last year, that's only a third of the 600 that were stolen from that same neighbourhood in 2003.
Vehicle break-ins in the downtown neighbourhood of V6B have gone from 1,300 a year to just 300 and in Metrotown from 800 to 500.

Amar'e Stoudemire was in foul trouble all game and Carmelo Anthony ran out of gas as the Knicks relinquished a fourth quarter lead and lost to the Magic at Madison Square Garden 102-93. Despite shutting down Dwight Howard, the Knicks defense was not good enough to slow Orlando down in the second half.
Here are some notes from the game:
- A tale of two halves. The Knicks outplayed Orlando in the first half only to be beaten down the second half. In the first half, Carmelo Anthony was rolling with 16 points and the Knicks offense put up 51 points despite Amar'e Stoudemire sitting out most of the half with foul trouble. The defense, and Tyson Chandler in particular, held Dwight Howard and the Magic to 45 points. In the second half, Anthony began to struggle and Orlando's perimeter shooting began to take over. Ryan Anderson went 7/13 from outside the arc thus burying the Knicks in the 4th quarter. The Knicks forgot how to guard the perimeter in the 4th quarter giving up 29 points. Late in the fourth, Orlando went to a zone defense in which the Knicks responded by running around like headless chickens.
- Stoudemire must be better. 22 minutes. Stoudemire relegated himself to the bench with silly fouls resulting in him playing 22 minutes. Douglas played 22 minutes and Jeffries played 25. As much as I like Douglas (when he's not running the point) and Jeffries, the Knicks will not win games with those guys playing as many minutes as Stoudemire. When Stoudemire did play, he was fairly efficient on offense shooting 4/7 for 12 points. After the game, Stoudemire looked depressed and sullen and I think this might be a turning point for him. In what I believe to be a positive sign, Stoudemire proclaimed after the game "I take blame for the loss. I got into foul trouble. Won't happen again." I think the fact that he grabbed his poor performance by the horns and made no excuses for his poor game (more on that in a second *cough* Melo *cough*) is a good sign and I expect him to come out determined on Wednesday versus Phoenix.
- Oh Melo… After the game, Melo spoke to the media about his 9/27 performance. He claimed that he couldn't control the ball because of his sprained wrist. I have a problem with this. I have a problem on two levels. One, why do you shoot the ball 27 times if you cannot control the ball? I did not have an issue with Melo's shot selection today, I actually thought it was very good. However, he leaves himself open to criticism by using the wrist as an excuse. If he does not feel like he can shoot then why does he take 8 three pointers? I know he had 16 free throw attempts but if he could not shoot the ball he should have gotten to the line more. My second issue is that Kobe Bryant has not used that excuse once this year. He has a worst wrist than Melo does. Now I hate Kobe and it burns my skin just to be writing this but if you are healthy enough to play, you play and you give no excuse. I don't believe Melo's wrist is so bad that he can't hit shots, clearly he still had a decent game with 33 points. He is not in Stoudemire condition like the playoffs last season when he could barely run around with his back, much less play basketball at a high level. I love Melo but I don't love using his wrist as an excuse, especially when he shoots 27 times.
- Walker only got 10 minutes in the game. He was 0/1 with 1 rebound and was a -11 on the day. Maybe D'Antoni and the staff finally read my blog.
- Chandler was excellent defensively. Today showcased what Tyson Chandler can do for this Knick team. His performance today is why they gave him a 4 year 58 million dollar contract. He held the best center in the game to 8 points and 10 rebounds. 8 points and 10 rebounds. That is unbelievable when you think about Howard's usual performance against the Knicks. Howard averaged 29 points and 15.8 rebounds a game versus the Knicks last year. This season, he is averaging 20.5 ppg and 15.2 rpg. He was almost a non-factor in terms of production today. It was a marvelous performance by Chandler.
- Jared Jeffries was great today. He played a solid defensive 25 minutes and even contributed 6 points. Today showed why Jeffries is valuable to this team. Often berated by Knick fans, Jeffries is an important player on this team because of his defensive prowess at both the 4 and the 5. With Stoudemire eating pine all game, Jeffries stepped up and played some nice defense today. Had Jeffries not been available today, the Knicks would have had to play Chandler over 40 minutes (he played 34) and would have had to play either Balkman or Walker more minutes today.
- Douglas played better today. I thought he provided a nice spark off the bench but like the rest of the club, he went cold in the 4th quarter.
- I thought Fields was better today. His defense was good except for a couple times when he was mixed up on defensive switches and left JJ Redick open. His offense was okay until the late 4th quarter when he air-balled a shot and turned the ball over once. WIth Fields it needs to be baby steps. I do think he will be good this year and I think he just needs some confidence. His rebounding seems to be coming around as well. He has had 5+ rebounds in 4 of his last 5 games.

Old Dominion vs. VCU Quotes
By ODU Athletics
Feb. 1, 2003
Old Dominion Head Coach Blaine Taylor
"VCU played well tonight. Doles got some threes down and he was a real shot in the arm for them down the stretch. It came down to one man, one whistle. It (the last play) was basically a foot horse race and they were off to the races. It's very different to get square in front of a guy in a race like that. We have to give them credit, they are a talented team."
"These seniors are real special to me and we have gone from the outhouse to the penthouse. No one should count their chickens before they are hatched in this race."
Old Dominion Senior Forward Ricardo Marsh:
"It would have been best for us to push it. I thought I should just finish, but I got an unfortunate call. It's great to be a part of an environment like tonight and it's easy to get fed off the crowd when we are doing good. We didn't want to feed off the crowd the wrong way when we are doing bad. Both teams were overly matched. They made some good shots and if we would have stepped our defense up a little more things might have been different."
Coach Jeff Capel, III, VCU Head Coach:
"There are big plays made for each team. Its great to get another road win. Our guys have really learned from past mistakes. When we were down we knew we were fine. A goal of ours is to play defensively every game. I thought Mike (Doles) had a good game overall. It was great execution by us."
"The Old Dominion fans were great. It really gives them a lift. It's a great atmosphere. We knew Old Dominion was one of the hottest teams in the league. Old Dominion is a very good team and they fight hard. They have very good leadership with Ricardo (Marsh) and Rasheed (Wright)."

Momentum is an important part of any big project. Camp Kysoc is going to take lots of this and a real community-wide effort with people stepping up to help find new uses, make needed repairs and secure the funding for the facility.
A May 1 meeting had been in the works for months to bring interested parties together to have a platform to discuss ideas and possible uses, along with funding, for Camp Kysoc.
Suddenly last Friday, it appears the momentum going for Camp Kysoc hit a wall, coming to a complete standstill. The May 1 meeting was called off.
Carroll County Common-wealth's Attorney Jim Crawford deserves praise for his recent handling of the Sheriff Jamie Kinman case, where he was indicted on several felonies, misdemeanors and malfeasance violations.
There are people who have been critical of the plea agreement Crawford worked out in the Kinman case. I believe everyone needs to step back and look at how the agreement was the right way to go for the county's taxpayers and those who depend on the sheriff's office as their primary law enforcement agency.
Everywhere I go these days, I see folks riding around in golf carts, UTVs or side-by-sides.
They've become so popular that Carroll County and the city of Carrollton have put ordinances in place requiring setting new safety requirements they must meet. The new laws make good sense with them on our roadways, mixing in with regular traffic.
As you read today's news related to the indictment of Sheriff Jamie Kinman, you may have questions about how we make decisions on coverage of stories such as this and maintain our ethical standards.
I hope to provide you with answers that not only apply to our reporting on this case, but everything we cover, to explain the steps we take to maintain the integrity of the news we report.
After nearly two years, Carroll County Middle School students got to put their new gym to use Monday night.
It's been a long time coming. I've watched the work on the renovation and construction of the new gym up close for nearly two years now from my home directly across the street.
It's not been a pretty picture.
Living in a small town gives all of us the opportunity to volunteer in community organizations that make a big difference. It's something that people who live in larger cities don't get the chance to experience.
I see it personally through the community groups that I am a part of. People join together and step up to provide the community's needs.
Carroll County and the region pulled together and raised more than $4.1 million in just seven months to secure funding for the new Jefferson Community and Technical College Carrollton Campus.
The committee led by now-retired Judge-Executive Harold "Shorty" Tomlinson and attorney Ruth Baxter did an excellent job of demonstrating the need our community and those around us have for this new, larger campus. It will be constructed on 30 acres across from the entrance to General Butler State Resort Park on Hwy. 227.
Conducting meetings in the open and allowing the public to view how their government works is at the heart of what makes our government work effectively.
That hasn't been the case as three members of Carrollton City Council volunteered at the mayor's request to work on revising the Enterprise Incentive Program.
We hope you enjoy this special edition of The News-Democrat today. We are delivering this November issue in place of the River City Trading Post that we normally mail to you each Monday.
Despite watching most of my favorite television shows on DVR, I still have seen more of the nasty campaign ads this year than I like. I'm sure you are in the same boat.
The airwaves have been bombarded by the two U.S. Senate contenders trying to define each other through name-calling, taking things out of context and downright deceptive advertising.

This brings me to the issue at hand, HORMONES and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)! The topic has almost reached celebrity status with genuine confusion and concern regarding what is being talked about! I have been extremely perplexed at the whole notion of replacing hormones. I ask…where did they go? Which hole did they fall out of? Did a woman leave them at a party one night and wake up the asking "oh my..has anyone seen my hormones?" Our bodies have exactly what they need to make all the hormones we need at any particular stage in a women's life. When there is trouble hormonally, it is more about RESTORING function rather than REPLACING it!
As my private naturopathic practice evolved, I was in awe at the number of women I experienced having trouble during normal hormonal transitions. I saw women having difficulty transitioning into menopause, a very natural, once celebrated once honored stage, and I also saw an extraordinary number of younger women experiencing weight gain, irritability, insomnia, decreased libido, and hot flashes. There were also women with sexual and reproductive problems—infertility, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS)—as well as breast and uterine cancer. Most of these women came in with a recommendation from their physician that they begin taking synthetic hormones. For women entering menopause it was HRT, and for the younger women it was the birth control pill. These artificial hormones suppress the body's natural cycles; they do nothing to address why the symptoms are occurring.
A pattern was emerging among my patients, but it really hit home when my own 37-year-old body started to flare up. My periods became unbearable; I had cramping, clotting, and bloating. My PMS and irritability got so bad my family would mark the two weeks beforehand as the "red zone." I wrestled with debilitating fatigue for the first time in my life, not to mention the unwelcome weight gain and changes in body temperature. I was frustrated because I couldn't attribute these changes to anything different in my diet or lifestyle. I was desperate to figure out what was going on, and more importantly, what I could do about it. The stress of building my practice and business, having a family, being president of the California Association of Naturopathic Physicians, and having an overall unrelentingly stressful lifestyle was taking a toll. I had moved back to one of the most polluted—yet beautiful—areas in California. And my dietary choices tended to be less than ideal in times of stress when I needed quick energy. I was drinking coffee in the morning to get me going and looking forward to a glass or two of wine on the weekends so I could finally relax.
I was completely out of balance. My stress level was taxing my adrenal glands (the built in back up system for post menopausal hormone production). I developed digestive disturbances, which I knew were compromising my liver's ability to do its many jobs, including processing and neutralizing hormones. The effects on my body were manifesting in the form of annoying and uncomfortable symptoms. I knew the last thing I needed was more estrogen from birth control pills. I needed to get my body back in balance. If I didn't work to correct some things, I knew I was increasing my risk down the road for dangerous health conditions, such as cancer. Listening to the signals my body was sending, such as the difficult periods (which are not normal), then making some profound changes in my diet, lifestyle, and supplement regime got me back on track, in balance, and wiser than before. What I discovered in treating my patients and myself is that women are experiencing extreme difficulties during normal hormonal transitions due to being overall OUT OF BALANCE due to many underlying influences.
Most important, the treatment approach of just "replacing hormones" is not helping women live longer, healthier lives. More hormones are the last thing women need. In fact, this course of action could be harmful. Hormone imbalance can not only cause the symptoms mentioned above, but also can lead to cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's disease. Women's hormone health did not become more problematic overnight. It has a lot to do with our modern environment and lifestyles. Pollution, stress, food quality, the way we nourish ourselves and prevailing medical practices take their toll on bodily systems. The good news is once we understand what creates imbalance; we can tap the many safe ways of restoring balance and eliminating uncomfortable, irritating symptoms while preventing disease and increasing overall quality of life and well-being.
When experiencing difficulties during hormonal transitions that are normal, natural and a birth right for all of us, before filling that prescription, take an internal inventory to see how well you are! Ask yourself these questions: What is my foundation like, are there any cracks? What is my exercise regime? Am I involved in re-creation activities? How am I moving through the stress in my life? Am I staying hydrated? Am I adequately rested with restorative sleep? How am I nourishing myself (what is my diet like)? Is it time for a 2-week cleanse? How is my digestion? Am I absorbing the nutrients I need and eliminating waste products regularly? Am I having fun? What is the quality of my relationships, with self, others and my higher source?
Listening to your body and answering these questions and increasing awareness in your life instead of increasing your hormones artificially might just be the key to overall hormonal health and well-being!

This summer, when my mom came to visit, she brought along her favorite t-shirt, and I made her a couple more by tracing the original one. When she came back for Littleheart's birthday, she confirmed that they were officially her favorite shirts! Unfortunately, it is now too cold in Switzerland to wear them, so I decided to surprise her with two more, only this time I made them with long sleeves.
If you would like to make Mom's perfect fit shirt - the winter version then download the basic shirt pattern here and the extra pieces for the long sleeves here.
Follow my tutorial for the summer version here and you will have a winter long sleeve shirt in no time!
I will be linking up to some of the link parties on this page .

There have been several apps that help practice and learn rhythm concepts the past few months.
MyRhythm, from Gregory Burk, is an app that helps you practice your rhythmic skills, co-ordination, listening skills and memory. MyRhythm is full of features that anyone from a non-musically trained person to someone who is is music classes will appreciate. The app does not use traditional musical notation to show rhythms. It simply uses a grid of dots that are filled in, or not, to indicate whether you should be tapping the large pads in time with the groove that is being played.
When you start up the app there three main modes you can go into… 1)Challenge Mode 2)Study Mode and 3)Creative Mode. The screen shot you see to the right is about the same in any of the three modes. In challenge mode you listen to and watch a pattern being played then the little violet and blue dots are all taken away and you have to play back what you just heard. It's an answer and call mode in other words. In the Study mode the idea is the same except that the violet and blue dots do not go away and you can still see them and you do not get to listen to the rhythm being played first. Then in the creative mode you are able to create your own rhythms. It is in this mode that you can do another time signature besides 4/4. In the other modes all I found were 2 measures of 4/4. Of course no where is there ever any mention of time signatures in this app. There are four levels of difficulty to play around with. No matter which level you are in the timing algorithms being used to decide whether or not you are playing the correct rhythms are very strict! It is not good enough to simply hit that pad "close" to the rhythm! You have to really get into the groove and sub-divide so you are accurate! Mentioning grooves…. there are options to play along with simply a metronome or a very long list of different grooves at different tempos. Gregory did a great job of making sure there was enough variety here to keep you interested and challenged for a long time!
I like the fact that there are many options in this app…. the different grooves, the call and answer, the creativity section, the ability to change several levels, the choice of what sound you hear when you tap the pads and how easy it is to quickly tap the new rhythm button to try the next rhythm. Even as a band director I like the co-ordination skills this builds even though my kids don't always need to use two hands to play rhythms in class. I think students will find plenty in this app to keep them interested. There is an iPod/iPhone version of the app as well.
I don't like that this app only deals with 8th notes. As a music educator I don't like that music notation is not used and yet at them same time I think there is a place for this type of graphic notation in a music class. Another slight issue I have is that I am pretty skilled at rhythm and I have to work really hard to get all the notes green! Now, maybe this is because I'm not as good as I think I am at rhythm BUT I KNOW what I am going to hear from the kids! No, seriously though, I do believe the app has a little bit of issue "hearing" correctly played rhythms sometimes.
Wish list – I do wish there was a way for my students to keep score of their progress as they work with this app.

Player of the Week
Mike Moser, UNLV, PF, Sophomore, 6-8 195 lbs.
Moser continued his excellent play this season by posting two double-doubles this past week. In those two games, UNLV beat Boise State (10-9) and New Mexico (16-4). Moser's inside presence against Boise State was not hard to notice as he gathered 21 rebounds and scored 18 points. UNLV only won by five points, but Boise State did not have an answer for keeping Moser off the glass. UNLV's big win over New Mexico placed UNLV firmly atop the Mountain West Conference with San Diego State. In that game, Moser finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Through 22 games Moser is averaging 14.2 PPG, 11.7 RPG, 2.4 APG, 1.8 SPG, 0.8 BPG, while shooting 47.0 FG%.
Who's Hot?
Travis Bader, Oakland, SG, Sophomore, 6-4 180 lbs.
It's difficult to argue that any player has been scorching the nets more than Bader, who posted 37 points yesterday in Oakland's (12-11) victory over South Dakota State (16-6). He shot 12-18 from the field, including an incredible 10-14 from three-point land. Keep in mind that Bader came off the bench in that game. In Oakland's three games prior to South Dakota State, Bader finished with point totals of 17, 21, and 21. Expect Bader to see some more playing time and sneak his way into the starting lineup.

March 21, 2013, Calgary, AB (ISN) – Volleyball Canada announced today the Team Canada Sitting Volleyball Selection Camp will be held May 9-12 in Edmonton at the Saville Community Sports Centre.
The Selection Camp will be open for all athletes with a disability; however, there will also be the first ever Sitting Volleyball National Championship happening at the same time. The National Championship is open to everyone and will feature able-bodied and athletes with a disability.
The Selection Camp will consist of on-court training sessions and participation in the Sitting Volleyball National Championship. The National Championship will be mandatory for all athletes interested in playing on Team Canada and will feature able-bodied and athletes with a disability. Depending on number of registrants, the tournament will also probably be co-ed. This National Championship will be the first of its kind in Canada and will allow coaches and High Performance Staff to further evaluate potential National Team athletes and see them in a competition environment.
Schedule Outline:
Wednesday, May 8: Athletes arrive (evening)
Thursday, May 9: Training On-Court
Friday, May 10: Training On-Court
Saturday, May 11: National Championship
Sunday, May 12: National Championship/ Athletes depart (evening)
There will be fee associated with the Selection Camp and Tournament as outlined below:
Current National Team Athlete $50.00
Prospective National Team Athlete (no accommodation needed) $75.00
Prospective National Team Athlete (with accommodation) $250.00
National Championship only (no accommodation) $40/athlete (you can register as a team or as an individual).
Athletes are responsible for their own travel and accommodation while in Edmonton. Volleyball Canada has a select number of rooms available in Edmonton on a first come, first serve basis.
Any athletes interested in the Selection Camp and/or Sitting Volleyball National Championship can contact Ian Halliday at firstname.lastname@example.com to register or for more information.
Sitting volleyball, which is a Paralympic Games and Para Pan Am Games sport, is a modified version of indoor volleyball for athletes with a disability. The court is smaller and the net lower which results in a fast-paced game that requires players to react quickly not only with their hands but be swift on the floor as well.

Grace's Delight Cocktail
(6 People)
Fill a large glass with broken ice and place in it 2 glasses of Whisky, 2 ½ glasses of French Vermouth and half a glass of Raspberry Brandy. Add the juice of half an Orange, a teaspoonful of Orange-flower water, 3 Juniper berries, a bit of Cinnamon and a little Nutmeg.
Stir well with a big silver spoon, pour the mixture, straining it, into a cocktail shaker holding about a pint. Shake and keep for an hour on ice. Serve.
Grace's Delight Cocktail, revised
1 oz Rittenhouse Bonded Rye
1 1/4 ounce Dolin Dry Vermouth
1/4 ounce Chambord
Juice 1/8 Orange
Dash Orange Flower Water
2 Juniper Berries
Pinch Cinnamon
Pinch freshly ground Nutmeg
Crush Juniper berries in the bottom of a mixing glass or tin. Add Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Rye. Let stand for at least an hour. Add remaining ingredients, shake and strain into a cocktail glass.
I have to admit I've been looking forward to Grace's Delight since I first read through the Savoy Cocktail Book a few years ago. However, the instructions never really made much sense to me. I've done my best to render them into a semblance of order. Sorry Grace, I don't have a big silver spoon, and, I guess, technically, Chambord is a black raspberry liqueur, not red raspberry.
In any case, the result of the above procedure is actually quite tasty. Albeit in a sort of odd, fruity, spicy way. More like a mini punch than a cocktail. I'd certainly drink it again.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Let's Go Phillies
September 30, 2007
Today's Lineup
Rollins, ss; Victorino, rf; Utley, 2b; Howard, 1b; Rowand, cf; Burrell, lf; Dobbs, 3b; Ruiz, c; Moyer, p.
What begin with the first game on April 1 has come down to the last game on September 30. After 161 games, we're tied with the Mets. So, we're down to a one-game season.
When the sun sets this evening, we will either be the division champs, preparing for a one-game playoff against the Mets on Monday at Citizens Bank Park or planning a vacation. Other possibilities exist beyond tomorrow but it is a bit complicated.
This bunch of Phillies has bounced back from all sorts of adversity to get this far. It is a matter of putting yesterday's 4-2 loss behind and focusing on this afternoon. One thing we have going, the Phillies are 41-12 in the history of this park on Sundays.
Sold Out
500 standing room only tickets were sold out in 18 minutes when they went on sale this morning at 9 o'clock. A fan came at 2 a.m. today and was the fourth person in line.
No Cheering
There's an unwritten rule in the Press Box that cheering isn't allowed. Well, this isn't the press box. It is a blog, so: LET'S GO PHILLIES!
3 Comments
If I said I wasn't nervous I'd be lying, but it comes down to today. Let's go Phillies!!!
LETS GO PHILS! We need a win, and I need a good nights sleep tonight!
Good luck today. I am an Angel fan but,first and foremost, I am a baseball fan period. For the Phillies to come back from seven games back in seventeen days is epic. It's great to see all the white towels and the support for your team. Once again good luck and hope to see you at the World Series.
