Summer might still be hanging around, but it's not long until the days will start to cool off again, and students will be back at college or university. If you're hitting the books this autumn, or you know someone who is, here is a list of 5 must-have gadgets that will help you through the academic year ahead.
Noise-cancelling headphones used to be the territory of the gadget elite, but market competition and cheaper technology has made them a popular choice among the general population too. If you have a long commute to university, or simply need to block out the sound of noisy flatmates, noise-cancelling headphones like the Audio Technica ATH-ANC7b QuietPoint® Active Noise-cancelling Headphones are a sturdy, budget choice. Noise-cancelling headphones start at around £25, but the cheaper versions can vary in quality. Audio Technica's headphones retail for around £70.
The Apple iPad has become a must-have accessory for students and professionals alike. There isn't much you can't do on an iPad, and its portability makes it perfect for reading, writing and browsing online. You can also purchase a wide range of apps through the Apple Store to enhance your studies – and make the most out of your down time. The new iPad starts at £399, or £499 with built-in 3G capabilities.
Save multiple trips to the library and spare change on photocopying with an all-in-one printer and scanner, like the HP Deskjet 3050A. Scan and copy pages, and enjoy the convenience of wireless and e-mail printing. The HP Deskjet 3050A's e-printing capabilities means you can email documents from any device, including iPad, iPod Touch and smartphones. Despite its multi-purpose design, the printer is small enough to fit almost anywhere. The HP Deskject 3050A retails for £40.
The Kensington laptop lock slots into your computer, and enables you to attach your machine to a nearby table, pipe or similar sturdy object. The principle is similar to that of a bike lock, and it can prevent opportunistic theft of your most valuable items. Several variations of the Kensington lock are available. You can also purchase slot adapters to use with flat-screen monitors, docking stations, tablet PCs, printers, and any other compatible device. Locks start at around £14.99.
GadgetTrak isn't technically a gadget in itself, but it will help protect your much-loved devices. You can install this software on your PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Blackberry or Android, and use it if your device gets stolen. Once installed, GadgetTrak will locate your device, and even sends you a photo of the thief. GadgetTrack have different products for iOS, other mobile devices and laptops.

Wonderful flavors. Easy to make. The Taste of Home-casseroles, slow cooker & soups cookbook has a recipe for sweet and sour sauce if you prefer making your own (page 40). Five stars. Thank you Dorothy for sharing with us.

I was very disappointed in this recipe. I didn't feel it tasted very Asian. I didn't care for the taste of the bottled sweet n sour even before I put it in, but it wasn't that good before I put the sauce in either. The snowpeas definitely needed to cook longer. The flavors just didn't seem to blend well together, I will not make this again.
Nov 9, 2009
Very good recipe. Next time I will be in the snow peas at the some time as the onions and pineapples. Five minutes was not long enough for them to cook.

I simply love this recipe. It is very easy to put together and served over rice it tastes so good. It has become a family favorite. I highly recommend this recipe--it is definitely worth trying!!

Equal Access
I. Introduction
As home education in America continues to grow, the issues facing home educating families continue to evolve as well. No longer are the questions as simple as, "Is it legal?" or "What about socialization?" Now that homeschooling is firmly established as an educational option, some homeschoolers are branching out to fight new battles. One such battle is the question of equal access to public school activities and classes. More specifically, can homeschool students take classes at local public schools? Can homeschool students play on public school sports teams? Do parents have the right to choose not only to exempt their children from public school, but the right to receive free public education services of their own choosing?
The purpose of this analysis is to address the different legal and political issues surrounding the equal access debate.
II. Access Laws and Legislation
Twenty-two states currently require public schools to allow homeschoolers some type of access to classes or sports. These include Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming. In both Arizona and Oregon, the law only requires school districts to allow access to "interscholastic" activities, but the law's practical effect generally allows homeschoolers to participate in any activities they choose. HSLDA has compiled a list of equal access laws in the 50 States.
Homeschooler participation in public school activities is usually subject to certain requirements, which are often part of the school's policy and the state high school athletic association's bylaws. Although specific requirements vary from state to state, they generally include: 1) being in compliance with the state homeschool law, 2) meeting the same eligibility requirements (residence, age, etc.) as public school students, and 3) submitting verification that the student is passing his or her core subjects. Consequently, the homeschooler may have to provide additional information, such as achievement test scores or periodic academic reports, even if the state's homeschool statute does not otherwise require them.
In states that do not have a specific statute or regulation mandating equal access, individual schools and school districts have the authority to determine whether homeschoolers can participate in public school activities. Policies often vary from district to district. In some cases, districts that would like to allow access are restricted from doing so by the high school athletic association's bylaws.
III. Access Litigation
Some non-public1 school students who reside in states that do not have an equal access law have taken the matter to court. Several of these cases occurred in the 1970s and early 80s, and homeschoolers have also filed such suits in more recent years. These cases are generally brought against either the school district or the state high school athletic association.
A. Legal ArgumentsThere are several constitutional arguments advanced on behalf of non-public school students seeking part-time public school participation:
1. Denying non-public school students access to part-time classes denies them due process in their property interest in the free public education provided for by state constitutions. (Due Process Clause of the 5th and 14th Amendments.)
2. Non-public school students excluded from part-time activities are unjustifiably discriminated against, denying these students their right to equal protection under the law. (Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.)
3. If a student is not enrolled in public school because of a sincere religious belief, his right to the free exercise of his religious beliefs is burdened by the prohibition of access to public school activities. (Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and Free Exercise Clause of the 1st Amendment.)
The courts have routinely rejected these constitutional claims. In virtually every case, they have ruled that a school district's refusal to allow access to classes part-time does not violate the student's constitutional rights to due process of law, equal protection under law, or free exercise of religion. In addition, courts have ruled that school districts have the right to set the eligibility requirements for participation in school activities. The courts have found that schools requiring the full-time enrollment of a student are not acting unreasonably.
Only one high court (Snyder, discussed below) has ruled in favor of a non-public school student in an access case. In that situation, the Michigan Supreme Court merely clarified an existing state statute which allowed private school students shared-time instruction in public schools. In Massachusetts, some homeschoolers have pursued access and won at the trial court level, but because the decisions apply only to the specific districts involved in those cases, other school districts in the state can choose to allow or prohibit homeschooler participation. Additionally, these court rulings are probably unique to Massachusetts because the state's homeschool law requires homeschooling parents to obtain "approval" from the district superintendent.
United States Supreme Court precedent also works against homeschoolers seeking access. Although the Supreme Court has not directly addressed the issue of home education since Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205 (1972), another case the following year dealt with a similar issue. In Norwood v. Harrison, 413 U.S. 455 (1973), the Court declared it unconstitutional for school districts to lend state-owned textbooks to racially segregated private schools. The Court said:
In Pierce2, the Court affirmed the right of private schools to exist and operate; it said nothing of any supposed right of private or parochial schools to share with public schools in state largesse, on an equal basis or otherwise. It has never been held that if private schools are not given some share of public funds allocated for education that such schools are isolated into a classification violative of the Equal Protection Clause. It is one thing to say that a State may not prohibit the maintenance of private schools and quite another to say that such school must, as a matter of equal protection, receive state aid. 413 U.S. at 462
In addition to addressing equal protection, Norwood also addressed the free exercise of religion.
Our decisions ... reflect the internal tension in the First Amendment between the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause .... This does not mean, as we have already suggested, that a State is constitutionally obligated to provide even "neutral" services to sectarian schools. 413 U.S. at 469
These arguments of Norwood were reaffirmed a few years later in Maher v. Roe, 432 U.S. 464 (1977).
Negative court precedents indicate the equal access issue requires a political rather than legal solution. Thus, the most effective way to obtain access for homeschool students is to campaign for equal access laws or school district policies. As discussed below, taking school districts and athletic leagues to court has proven largely unsuccessful.
B. Extracurricular Activities Litigation
Equal access cases break down into two major categories: litigation over general extracurricular activities and litigation over interscholastic activities. With cases involving extracurricular activities, the homeschooling family is usually suing the local school district for access to classes like band, higher mathematics, or sciences. These are classes which typically require more students than the average homeschool has, specialized equipment, or specialized training to teach.
In Maryland, an intermediate appellate court ruled that it would be an unreasonable burden on the efficient administration of the public school system to require school districts to allow private school students access to public school programs. Thomas v. Allegany County Bd. of Ed., 443 A.2d 662 (1982).
Just two years later, the Supreme Court of Michigan ruled that a private school student could take an extracurricular class in the public school as long as the private school she attended did not offer that class and the class was not a core subject. (Private and homeschools in Michigan are required to teach core subjects.) However, this case is unique in that a statute in Michigan already existed which required schools to allow "shared-time instruction" with private school students. Snyder v. Charlotte Public School District, 365 N.W.2d 151 (Mich. 1984).
In January 1998, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against a homeschool student from Oklahoma who wanted to take choir and a math class from her local public school. School district policy forbade homeschoolers from part-time enrollment. The court affirmed the lower federal district court decision stating that there is no federal parental right that would force a local school board to allow parents to dictate that their children will attend the school for only part of the school day. Swanson v. Guthrie Independent School District No. 1-1, 942 F.Supp. 511 (W.D. Okla 1996) and Swanson v. Guthrie Independent School District No. 1-1, (D.C. No. CIV-95-596M).
C. Interscholastic Activities Litigation
The second major category of litigation is over the issue of interscholastic activities. These cases primarily involve families who are suing the school district or the state athletic association over access to activities involving more than one school, such as sports programs. All public high schools within a state are normally members of the state athletic association. These private, often non-profit, associations have by-laws which participating schools must follow in order to remain in the league. Such by-laws sometimes forbid public schools from allowing students who are not enrolled full-time in their school from participating on the school sports teams. Such rules effectively keep homeschoolers out even if the school is not opposed to a homeschool student participating.
Several states have applicable federal or state court rulings involving the participation of non-public school students in high school interscholastic activities. Most of these cases, however, deal with racial discrimination, gender discrimination, or transfer rules, rather than straight private or homeschool discrimination. Most courts rule that eligibility for a high school sports team is a privilege, not a right.
The Louisiana Court of Appeals ruled in 1970 that a state athletic association policy of disallowing non-enrolled students to participate on a public school sports team was not so arbitrary that it warranted the court's interference in the matter. The court also said the private school student did not suffer the loss of a significant property right by being kept off the team. Sanders v. Louisiana High School Athletic Association, La.App., 242 So.2d 19. [In 2010, the Louisiana Legislature passed a law explicitly allowing home study students to participate in interscholastic athletic activities subject to, among other requirements, approval by the public school principal.]
In 1996, a New York appellate court ruled against a homeschooler whose local school district denied him access to interscholastic sports. The court held that, "[P]articipation in interscholastic sports is merely an expectation and no fundamental right is involved ..." Bradstreet v. Sobol, 650 N.Y.S.2d 402, 403 (A.D.3 Dept 1996).
Referring to other case precedent around the country (including Thomas, Snyder, and Swanson discussed above) the Supreme Court of Montana decided that "participation in extracurricular activities was not a fundamental right." (supra. 1316) The court was unable to conclude "a private school student's interest in participating in public school extracurricular activities is more important than the school district's policy decision ... that it needs to restrict participation to those students who are enrolled in the public school system." Kaptein v. Conrad School District, 931 P.2nd 1311, 1317 (Mont 1997).
IV. States Without Access Laws
Obtaining access often presents technical problems which homeschoolers must consider. In states that do not have laws forcing schools to allow homeschoolers access, it is up to local schools and school districts to set a policy. In some cases, these policies do not favor the homeschoolers looking for access.
A school board's decision to write an equal access policy is rarely free from outside influence. State departments of education often discourage districts from allowing part-time students access. Most schools in these states have no way of counting part-time students in the enrollment for purposes of receiving state funding. This was one reason for the negative school district policy in the Swanson case. In addition, the homeschoolers who oppose access sometimes end up campaigning against suggested policies.
A homeschool student seeking to participate should contact the local district superintendent or make a presentation to the local school board requesting an equal access policy.
A. Interscholastic Sports Associations
Establishing sports access for homeschoolers tends to be more complicated than other access issues. Homeschool students seeking to play public school sports may encounter a state athletic association policy unfavorable to homeschoolers. Although they have a great deal of influence over public schools, athletic associations are typically private organizations. As such, they enjoy much more freedom to develop their own rules and regulations than would a government entity. Courts and legislatures have historically been more reluctant to interfere with the inner workings of private organizations than those of government bodies.
In many cases, schools and school districts that would otherwise allow homeschool athletes to play on teams have their hands tied. Because association rules are often designed to keep students who are failing in school from playing sports, most athletic associations require students to show that they are passing a minimum number of classes before permitting them to participate on sports teams. This effort to keep below-average students and high school dropouts off sports teams can also tend to categorically eliminate homeschool students as well. If a school violates these rules, the association can remove the school from the league or make the team forfeit its games.
Some state athletic associations are reluctant to change their rules, but many have made revisions that allow homeschoolers to participate subject to certain requirements. However, even if athletic associations are willing to embrace homeschool students, many school districts are not. In fact, one Texas poll revealed that out of 914 public school superintendents questioned, only 21 supported the idea of allowing homeschoolers on public school teams.3
B. Private School States
At least nine states do not have homeschool statutes. In these states homeschools are legally considered to be private schools, which often affords them more freedom than in states that have a specific homeschool statute. However, it is difficult to write a law allowing equal access for homeschoolers when a "homeschool" is not defined by statute. In these situations, homeschoolers do not want to lose the freedoms they have as private schools, and state officials are not usually willing to throw access open to all private school students. Access legislation can be worded so that it does not change the private school status of home educators, but such a bill has yet to pass in a private school state.
C. Extended Government Regulations
Many fear that pushing for access laws will only bring more government regulation on homeschoolers in general. Although to date no access law has directly affected any homeschoolers who have chosen not to receive services from public schools, this is a legitimate concern. Taking government money or services almost always invites government control.
In Utah, the state Board of Education passed regulations to allow private and homeschools access to public schools activities. However, Utah statutes or regulations had never previously defined a "private school." Problems then arose when the Board of Education introduced more regulations to define what a private school really was. With these new regulations, private schools had a new set of requirements to follow which had not been an issue prior to the access regulation.
In 1996, some Georgia homeschoolers campaigned for access to the state-funded college scholarships given to public school students by introducing two equal access bills. The following year, the state legislature introduced a new, more intrusive homeschool law which would have required parents to have a college degree, as well as testing and portfolio reviews for homeschool students. The prevailing attitude among legislators and public school advocates was, "If homeschoolers want state money for education, we must make sure they are doing a good job teaching their children."
V. Arguments
The issue of equal access is being debated even among the homeschooling community. Many homeschoolers oppose equal access, because they are against any government involvement in education. Others assert it is unfair to keep homeschoolers out of public school programs when their taxes help pay for these programs. Below is a summary of the most common arguments use both for and against equal access.
A. Pro
Homeschool families are members of the community and pay the same taxes as families who send their children to public schools. These taxes fund public schools, too, whether homeschoolers elect to use them or not. It is unacceptable to exclude homeschool students from other public institutions such as libraries, hospitals or parks. Likewise, it should be unacceptable to keep them out of public school programs.
Allowing homeschoolers access to public school activities will increase the numbers of children who are home educated. There are many parents across the country who do not homeschool their children because they or their children want access to a specific program available only at public schools.
A student is a student whether he attends a public school, private school, or homeschool. Specific economic and career advantages are available to public school students. A homeschool student should not be denied the opportunity to take part in these advantages if he or she meets the qualifications.
Homeschoolers participating in classes will not cause the increase in taxes that some claim. In states that have access laws, it is estimated that only 3 to 5 percent of homeschoolers actually take advantage of public school services.
Parents should be allowed to enroll their children in public school activities if they believe that is best for their own children.
B. Con
We should not trade our freedom for services. Government services never come without strings attached, and it is not wise to request government handouts after so many years of fighting for freedom from regulation.
If states begin mandating that school districts open their doors to homeschoolers who want access, school officials and legislators will want to define and regulate all homeschoolers.
Paying taxes which support government programs does not automatically give someone the right to participate in that program. Adults who have no children, but own property, pay the same taxes as property owners who do have children.
Individuals who receive the services will become more and more dependent on the government and more likely to accept new regulation limiting their freedom.
Private alternatives for homeschoolers will be less likely to arise, because when individuals rely on the government for services that the private sector can better perform, the government sector overshadows private enterprise and individual initiative.
VI. Conclusion
Do parents have the right to choose the amount of public education their children receive? Although the courts have said "no," the state legislatures are beginning to say "yes." Courts do not find any "right" for homeschoolers to receive access to government-funded educational services; however, state legislators seem open to allowing homeschoolers the privilege of access to public school activities.
Part of the reason for this trend is financial. School districts in some areas are beginning to feel a decrease in funds due to the increasing number of students leaving public schools for private and home education. Schools may try to compete with private education by luring students back with sports and academic classes, to regain at least partial funding for their part-time participation.
Another motivation is the recognition that access to public school activities provides private and homeschool students with opportunities they do not otherwise have. Many homeschoolers have benefited from the interscholastic competition afforded them by participation in public school activities, and some have as a result excelled in college at their chosen activity.
The access trend is not without potential hazards, however. Access supporters must remember to guard the right of parents to remain free from extraneous government regulation when they receive no government services. Despite both legal and political controversies, opening access to homeschoolers appears to be a growing trend.

(Washington, D.C.) September 11, 2012 – Today, the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America's national parks, announced its partnership with Alcoa Foundation to benefit the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, PA. In an effort to encourage others to support the Flight 93 National Memorial, through October 1, Alcoa Foundation will match public donations up to $255,000. Donations can be made at www.honorflight93.org.
Through the partnership, the National Park Foundation's Flight 93 National Memorial Campaign and Alcoa Foundation will work together to enhance the landscape of the memorial. The Alcoa Foundation's donation will help to plant 150,000 native species trees at the 2,200-acre site. The trees are a planned landscape feature of the memorial's design, which creates an environment to remember the heroism of the forty men and women on board Flight 93 and offers a place of learning and understanding about the events of September 11, 2001. Reforestation of the memorial will further transform the former surface mine into a park for thousands of visitors each year. Currently, more than 13,000 seedlings have been planted at the site.
"The National Park Foundation is proud to partner with Alcoa Foundation to remember the brave men and women of Flight 93, ordinary citizens who made the extraordinary and selfless decision to save the lives of others," said Neil Mulholland, President and CEO of the National Park Foundation. "The memorial offers many different features as a tribute their heroic actions, but the reforestation project will augment the true living component of the design."
"To commemorate the 11th anniversary of September 11, Alcoa Foundation is honored to support the National Park Foundation to remember those we lost, those who have served and are currently serving in the military and the families who were impacted by the tragic events," said Paula Davis, President, Alcoa Foundation. "This partnership builds off of the initial commitment we made in 2011 and also supports Alcoa's Ten Million Trees Program, for which the goal is to plant 10 million new trees by 2020 in regions where Alcoa operates around the world."
On September 24, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Flight 93 National Memorial Act. The Act created a new national park unit to commemorate the passengers and crew of Flight 93 who, on September 11, 2001, courageously gave their lives thereby thwarting a planned attack on our nation's capital. The memorial is near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where Flight 93 crashed with the loss of its 40 passengers and crew. For more information about the Flight 93 National Memorial, please visit www.nps.gov/flni. For information on how to make a donation and help build the memorial, go to www.honorflight93.org.
The owner of 84 million acres of the world's most treasured memorials, landscapes, ecosystems, and historic sites -- all protected in America's nearly 400 national parks. Chartered by Congress, the National Park Foundation is the official charity of America's national parks. We work hand in hand with the National Park Service to connect you and all Americans to the parks, and to make sure that they are preserved for the generations who will follow.

TxDOT confirms Ballenger defaults
Ballenger Construction defaulted on all but three of its 22 state highway contracts, including road projects in San Antonio worth $86 million, a Texas Department of Transportation official confirmed Friday.
Locally, those projects are the widening of Interstate 10, from Huebner Road to Loop 1604, and construction of two segments of Wurzbach Parkway, said agency spokesman Bob Kaufman.
TxDOT terminated one other San Antonio contract it had with Ballenger: an underpass on Medical Drive at Fredericksburg Road, Kaufman said. TxDOT will now take over that project, and surety companies will take over the 19 projects in default.
Work on the Medical Drive underpass was supposed to begin in September but hadn't because TxDOT had not given Ballenger the go-ahead to start.
He emphasized that defaults will cause delays in the work but won't cost taxpayers more money.
"There's no additional costs incurred to the taxpayer," Kaufman said. He was not yet sure how long the construction delays would last or when work would resume.
Recently, the state also chose to end a contract with Ballenger for an underpass at Texas 151 and Loop 1604 after an endangered spider was found in the area, a decision that wasn't influenced by the company's financial standing.
Besides the state projects, Ballenger has also defaulted on all eight of its road and drainage projects with the city of San Antonio.
Ballenger, which is headquartered in Harlingen but has offices in San Antonio, has been unavailable for comment.
At least two employees have said the company laid off workers this week. On Friday morning, the I-10 and Wurzbach Parkway construction sites were inactive, with no workers on hand. Later that day, TxDOT sent out an email about lane closures for the I-10 project. None are scheduled for the next seven days.
A woman who answered the phone at Ballenger's San Antonio office Friday said no one there wanted to comment. She said the company's headquarters in Harlingen remains open but that the Corpus Christi office had been closed for some time.
A woman reached at the San Antonio office Thursday said the Harlingen office had closed down.
A person who answered in the Harlingen headquarters Friday said she worked for an answering service and that no managers were available for comment.
"I think they're all out of town," she said.

Swimwear gets wet and wild from pinup to sundown
Summer's hottest styles take cues from the pinup past, with retro cuts, primary colors and bold accessories
It had to happen, whether as a reaction to barely there bikinis (see the cover of this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue), or simply because the fashion pendulum swings.
Retro beach fashions - from ruched one-pieces and two-pieces with more modest bottoms to ruffled swim caps and platform sandals - are in vogue this year. This news may come as a relief to those with less-than-model-perfect figures, and as an inspiration for those who like to dress up for a dip. Nobody's saying you have to wear a tuxedo, like our model's Antarctic companion, but a little flair never hurts. Just throw a little Sinatra on the Jambox, whip up a bikini martini (gin, peach Schnapps and blue Curacao), swipe on a little red lipstick and sunscreen (of course), and you'll be ready to relive pool parties of decades past in 2014 style.

"A few years back," Dr. Judi Goldstone reflected, "I realized I could barely get through a day of work without getting exhausted-- I was going through the change. I didn't want to go on synthetic hormones but those were the only options the gynecologist gave you at that time"
Educating herself about her options, Dr. Goldstone learned that Bioidentical Hormones were ideal for her needs. Bioidentical Hormones are hormones that are literally human identical, an exact copy of what naturally occurs in the body. Our bodies are equipped with the enzymes to break Bioidentical Hormones hormone down and metabolize them properly, while pharmaceutical hormones instead have extra molecules that can't be fully metabolized, often causing serious side effects. But utilizing the treatment presented a challenge. "They didn't teach Bioidentical Hormone treatment in medical school. Most practicing physicians are between the ages of forty and seventy and didn't learn about them. Also, the government is always trying to scare people by saying that they're not regulated, but they are. There is a pharmacy board. They want you to buy the pharmaceutical ones, the artificial hormones."
Dr. Goldstone realized that an unlikely opportunity was unfolding. "I could not find anybody to go to who would help me, most doctors would not work with Bioidentical Hormones. I hit the books to find out what to do and how to do this, took the classes, and applied it to myself."
"I found it a real and viable alternative, in fact it's a better alternative. It changed my life. I was fifty-nine years old telling my dad that I was opening a business. He said I should have been retiring, but I felt so good! The old fashioned thinking was, it was time to pack it in."
"I opened up my own practice, which is a huge amount of work-- but I have the energy and now I have the means to share this with people." Her own journey led Dr. Goldstone to become a successful entrepreneur in her golden years, helping like-minded individuals circumvent the side-effects of aging with a revolutionary approach to hormone therapy and wellness management.
Patients are drawn to her practice across a wide demographic of both men and women, for a variety of common reasons that plague us all at different stages of aging. "I see about seventy percent woman, and thirty men. There are getting to be more and more men, which is great. For men, it's treating loss of libido, low libido, poor recovery after working out, no energy during workouts, inability build muscle with the same routine they used to, tiredness and fatigue.Men are having low testosterone earlier due to many causes, among them, toxins in the environment."
"For women it's also libido and fatigue, as well as weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, vaginal dryness, and more. I've had patient as low as age 27 up to 92, but mostly then tend to fall in their later thirties to seventies."
Bioidentical Hormone therapy, in addition to her common-sense preemptive approach to diet and lifestyle, gets undeniable results for her patients. "We look at nutrition and detoxification, stress management and exercise. It's an approach to help you age in optimal shape by balancing the body. I'd define it as advanced preventative medicine. Some people call it alternative medicine, which it really isn't. Basically, it's finding disease before it finds you, ageing in the best way you possibly can. It combines advanced medical knowledge with the latest cutting-edge medical detection, for a reversal in age-related decline. It's a lifestyle."
Judi Goldstone, M.D. is a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and the American Society of Bariatric Physicians (medically certified in the area of weight-loss, and a member of the AA of Bariatric Medicine.) She received her medical degree from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, where she graduated in the top third of her class. She is also a cum laude graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles. Dr. Goldstone has practiced weight loss and wellness medicine since 2001, and joined the American Academy of Anti-aging and Regenerative Medicine in 2005.

12c Release 2 (184.108.40.206)
Part Number E24215-03
|PDF · Mobi · ePub
This appendix lists and defines the files and directories available in ADP. Topics include:
After ADP is installed, all the components of the application package are located in the EMGC_ADPMANAGER1 directory. This directory is in the GC domain home, for example:
The path where the ADP Manager is installed is similar to:
/scratch/Middleware0712/gc_inst/user_projects/domains/GCDomain/EMGC_ADPMANAGER1 where domain.home=/scratch/Middleware0712/gc_inst/user_projects/domains/GCDomain and ORACLE_HOME=/scratch/Middleware0712/oms
The directory structure is as follows:
Table A-1 ADP Manager Directories
Contains all the executable files to start and stop ADP, run deployer for Agent and ADP EJB, run export utility.
Contains all the ADP runtime configuration parameters that control execution logic, ADP schemas enablement, ADP GUI functionality, Service Level Objectives definition, export logic and many more.
Contains agent libraries and configuration files, as well as ADP EJB and ADP Admin Web Application. These components are deployed on the remote host (Web or Application servers) using deployer utility found in bin directory of ADP package.
Has all the libraries required for ADP's proper functionality
Contains internal base instrumentation configuration. Do not modify these files.
Config directory has many files that potentially can be configured and make ADP to run in a particular way. Any changes applied to files in this directory require restarting ADP server.
Most of the files never get touched directly by user. The following are the main three files which can be configured manually to achieve desired effect:
|This file is the main ADP configuration file customization of which helps to tune up ADP.
|In this file you define location of Administration Server and credentials to access it. Usually you do not touch this file. The entire configuration is done through ADP GUI.
|This file contains information that drives proper data export logic. It is used for manual and automatic export of performance metric and events data from the ADP Data Repository.
|This file is used to map server addresses to load balancer addresses. By default, this file is not available; it must be created by the user.
It is worth mentioning that Service Level Objective definitions and Actions associated with the SLOs are described in slo.xml and event.xml respectively. The content of these files is completely controlled by definitions applied from ADP GUI (configuration tab).
The /deploy directory contains the ADP Java Agent distributable, including configuration files as well as corresponding libraries. These files are copied to the target systems hosting the Managed Servers when running the deployer utility. Rarely one needs to modify configuration files in this directory. Remember though if you modify the files they will be distributed to ALL targets within single server/cluster.
The acsera.properties file contains global configuration parameters that define the operation of the ADP Manager.
This section of Acsera.properties file defines log rotation policies. Log.MaxFiles indicates max number of log files available at any given moment, whereas the Log.MaxFileSizeMB indicates maximum size of the log file.
Example A-1 Log Files Management Section
Log.CopyOut = false Log.MaxFiles = 10 Log.MaxFileSizeMB = 30 Log.MergeLogs = true Debug.CopyOut = false Debug.LogLevel = all Debug.MaxFiles = 10 Debug.MaxFileSizeMB = 30
Log files are stored in the log directory.
One can limit number of domains to be monitored by setting resource limit parameter: ConfigurationManager.ResourceLimit=4
ADP uses RMI ports for communication with the agents and collects incoming performance metrics from a particular RMI port. By default, the RMI port is set on the same machine that hosts ADP. RMI.Registry.Host needs to be un-commented and have a value other than
localhost if the host is multi-homed (such as, many network interfaces or has any ipv6 addresses) and you need to make sure that ADP listens to the incoming traffic on the particular interface.
You may need to change RMI.Registry.Port value in case the default 51099 port number has been allocated to an other application. Also if ADP is running in multi-instance mode, the port number will be different from instance to instance.
ADP has sophisticated multi-tiered logic for aggregation (or compression) of performance data. This helps to optimize performance of interaction with the internal data repository both when querying data for presentation or inserting new performance metrics.
Users who want to store longer term data should look for this section in Acsera.properties:
######################### # Production setting # NOTE: use Model.GlobalSamplingRateSecs to configure Metric.Grain.0 ######################### Metric.Grain.0 0s Metric.TableInterval.0 = 4h Metric.DataLife.0 = 2d Metric.Grain.1 = 3m Metric.TableInterval.1 =1d Metric.DataLife.1 = 8d #Metric.Grain.2 = 30m #Metric.TableInterval.2 = 7d #Metric.DataLife.2 = 420d
and uncomment the last 3 lines for the Metric.*.2 properties
ADP by default aggregates data coming from multiple cluster members by application thus minimizing rate of insertion in to the data repository. This greatly improves performance of ADP in heavily loaded environments.
As a side effect of this approach though, the user is unable to see metrics from instrumentation (processes and portals) on per server level. If you need to enable this then set the JavaMIP.AggregateInserts to false.
To avoid overhead of unnecessary monitoring of certain applications, you can explicitly state which applications to monitor, or which applications to exclude from monitoring.
Users should append the name of their application to the property ComponentProvider.Application.Exclude.
Example A-4 Specifying Which Applications to Monitor
# Control which applications to analyze # ComponentProvider.Application.Exclude=WLI System EJBs,WLI-AI Design-time,B2BDefaultWebAppApplication,WLI Worklist,JWSQueueTransport,Deployer,BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK, Acsera,ClearApp,HttpDeployer,ServiceBus_Console,em
If there is a firewall between the ADP Manager and the monitored application servers, ports need to be opened between them especially in the case where multiple resources are configured. For example, if two resources are configured and the first one uses 55006 as the port, then the next resource must use 55007 as the port. Each additional resource increments the port by 1.
In addition to the application server's JMX access ports, the following two properties in Acsera.properties indicate the ports used specifically by ADP:
RMI.Registry.Port (51099 by default)
RMI.JavaProvider.ServerPort (55003 by default)
There are times when you deliberately want to cut down on the number of repeated notifications should SLO violation persist for a given period of time. To suppress notifications of the same violation in a short period of time, ADP provides the SLO Dampening feature. Once enabled, should a SLO violation occur and be repeated several times in a short period, ADP will not fire the SLO violation notification for the time period defined in SLO.RearmDelay. To disable this feature, set the value of this parameter to 0.
SLO.SuppressDelayedAsserts indicates that if the violation still persists upon time period expiry ADP, should fire the SLO notification. By default it is false, for example, fire the notification.
The UrlMap.properties file should be created in the ADP Manager's config directory and used to provide address mappings between load balancers and application servers. The format of this file is:
# Format: # $app_server_ip = $load_balancer_id # E.g: # http\://localhost\:7001 = http\://localhost\:7005 # # Note: ":" character need to be escaped with "\" # http\://192.168.128.53\:7002 = http\://192.168.3.187\:80 http\://192.168.128.53\:7003 = http\://192.168.3.187\:80 http\://192.168.128.54\:7005 = http\://192.168.128.54\:7011 http\://192.168.128.54\:7006 = http\://192.168.128.54\:7011

Delicious! No need to saut? chicken in oil first. I just put everything in the slow cooker!
Sep 26, 2014
For it being a 'Southwestern". I felt it lacked flavor prepared as directed. I spiced it up some by adding 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and 1/2 tsp dried chili flakes. Also added 2 cups of black beans. After all what's Southwestern with out them. Served with corn tortillas 1/4's. I also omitted the oil. I always try to keep grilled chicken strips in the freezer so I used that instead. This recipe is a good base to start with though.
Jan 10, 2014
Very easy recipe to throw together though it took me longer than the ten minutes of prep stated. I used partially thawed chicken breasts and found that it was much easier to slice thin strips than when slicing chicken that was completely thawed. To save calories and cut fat I did not use any canola oil but instead sprayed the pan with nonstick cooking spray. There was enough moisture in the partially frozen chicken that it compensated for the lack of oil. I had also diced the peppers ahead of time so that all I had to do when mixing ingredients was dump it in the slow cooker. Taste was pretty mild for a southwestern flavor. I served the soup with whole wheat tortilla strips that I baked in a 350 degree oven for about 6 minutes until they were crisp and golden. My husband added shredded cheese to his soup and liked it. This is a healthy, easy soup that I will definitely make again. I may sprinkle chopped cilantro on top to garnish and kick up the flavor and add a dollop of fat free or low fat sour cream to each serving next time. If you like spicier flavors, try adding a dash or two of hot sauce.

After dealing with the death of a spouse, the last thing you may want to do is eat. Unfortunately, avoiding food will undermine your overall health. For some, eating alone can be a chore. Being alone can make it difficult to eat healthfully, but there are ways you can make sure you get the nutrients that you need.
Adjusting to a new living situation after the death of a spouse may lead to poor nutrition. Eating alone poses many challenges to achieving a nutritionally sound diet. For one, food simply tastes better when you are enjoying it with someone you love. In our society, food is not just about sustenance, but also about the pleasurable experience of mealtime. When you have the luxury of enjoying someone's company at meals, mealtime becomes that much more pleasurable. When you suddenly find yourself eating alone, you may not enjoy your meals as much as you once did.
Another reason eating alone is difficult is that there is less incentive to cook. Perhaps you have spent years cooking well-rounded meals for your spouse or family, and now cooking for one is just not the same. Maybe your spouse was in charge of the cooking and you do not know where to begin in the kitchen. Because of these new obstacles, many seniors end up swapping balanced meals for grazing and skipping meals.
Does it really make a difference whether you grab something out of the refrigerator on the go or sit down when you eat your meals? Yes, particularly as you get older.

Norway is ostensibly big on neutrality, even when it gets them invaded and pulverised, so not surprisingly it hates Apple's FairPlay DRM, which only lets songs play on iPods. It even has a law requiring that consumers be able to use digital media with whatever device they choose, which FairPlay obviously pees all over. After a lovely chat with Apple in February, not much has changed, so gentle Norway is going to play war against Apple over FairPlay for the rest of hapless Europe.
If Apple doesn't respond to the allegations by Nov. 3, Norway will take Apple before its very diplomatic and wussy-sounding Market Council as the first test case to force Apple to bust open FairPlay. If Norway is for siriusly about taking on Apple, iTunes-loving Norwegians better enjoy its full DRM'd bounty while they can, especially if any ruling about FairPlay extends to movies and TV shows—guess what's slathered all over them? Why?
Likelier actions from Apple than handing over the FairPlay keys: shutting down the iTunes Store in Norway, pulling everything with DRM, or a blitzkrieg into Oslo. [Yahoo! via Ars Technica]

Two business alums establish separate $50,000 scholarships at the Shidler College of Business
Professor and alumna Jenny Teruya endows Master's of Accounting scholarship and alumnus Stuart Matsuda funds business scholarship in honor of siblingUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Shidler College of Business
Margot Schrire, (808) 956-6774
UH Foundation
HONOLULU — The University of Hawaiʻi Foundation is proud to announce the establishment of two new $50,000 endowed scholarships at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Shidler College of Business. Together with matching funds from Jay Shidler's $25 million gift last year, each scholarship endowmenttotals $50,000.
Master's of Accounting Endowed Scholarship Fund
Director and Professor of the School of Accountancy Jenny Teruya and husband Alfred established the Master's of Accounting Endowed Scholarship Fund to support students who have the potential to achieve a master's degree in the accounting field, but lack financial means.
Alfred and Jenny Teruya have been involved in Hawaii's public school system for many years. Alfred recently retired from McKinley High School after completing over 30 years of service for the Department of Education. Jenny's commitment to higher education grew out of her own educational experiences and pride for her alma mater. She received her Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Accounting degrees from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, and later earned a PhD in Accounting from the University of Arizona. In 1998, Jenny joined the College as assistant professor of accounting at theUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Today, she is an associate professor of accounting and the director of theSchool of Accountancy.
"Both of us are educators and value the opportunities education provides our youth," says Jenny Teruya. "We have talked about establishing scholarships ʻone of these days,' however, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take advantage of the Shidler match; it allowed us to have a bigger impact than we could afford on our own."
Todd Kiyo Matsuda Endowed Scholarship
Stuart Matsuda and his wife Michelle established the Todd Kiyo Matsuda Endowed Scholarship in honor of Stuart's younger brother, Todd Kiyo Matsuda, who passed away in 1980. According to Stuart, Todd was a recent high school graduate and had a great future ahead of him. The Matsuda's felt endowing a scholarship is an appropriate way to honor his brother who had so much potential.
Stuart received his BBA in 1986 from the Shidler College of Business and currently lives in California. As co-founder and director of L.A. Capital Management, Stuart manages all equity trading activity and is a key member of the portfolio management team. Previously, Stuart was a vice president and principal atWilshire Associates where he also served as Wilshire Asset Management's Director of Trading.
"Not many alums think about endowing a scholarship in the prime of their careers, " said V. Vance Roley, Dean of the Shidler College of Business. "Both Jenny and Stuart felt it was the right time to give back and make an impact on the lives of many students today and tomorrow."
About the Shidler College of Business at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Established in 1949 as the College of Business Administration, the College was named in 2006 after alumnus Jay H. Shidler, founder and managing partner of The Shidler Group. The Shidler College of Business is renowned for its expertise in international management education and is consistently rankedamong the nation's top 25 graduate schools for international business by U.S. News & World Report. Long recognized for its Asia-Pacific focus, the College is a professional school, offering a wide variety of degree, certificate and executive programs.

3 Year Seasoned Vapers now call themselves Old School Vapers
By VAPE Magazine.com
With only years behind vaping, the technology has gained so much momentum that seasoned vapers call themselves old school vapors. How many people remember some of those initial vape mod designs; so primitive compared to the designs of today. In fact the technology for both atomizers, mods and Premium e juice is advancing so fast it seems just as soon as you buy the best, another device renders that device old school. In our opinion smoking has never shared the same level of community involvement as vaping continues to enjoy. There is a special joy that comes from finding a analog smoker of cigarettes and filling them with hope of the advances in vaping technology. Because the technology advances so quickly even if they say I have tried vaping, you know they haven't tried the latest. In most cases they've used an old ecig design or other low powered battery design.
The funniest realization is even a 21 year old avid vapor can call himself an old school vapor. The technology moves that fast. Remember the introduction of the rebuild-able atomizers as the vapers solution to outright banning or the zombie apocalypse. As long as you have the rebuild-able atomizer you never needed to buy a new atomizer again. Just you your rebuild-able atomizer, some wire, batteries and some Premium e juices and that all you needed. Of course many avid vapors continue to tinker with these rebuilds. With the prices dropping, technology rising and vape production at an all time high, sometimes its just easier to get that pack of sub-ohm coils and call it a day. Vaping you have come a long way, but there is no school like the old school.

CU's Roberson has battled Baylor's Jones before
BOULDER – Baylor's 6-foot-11 freshman forward Perry Jones III was rated a national top-10 recruit last season out of Duncanville High in suburban Dallas. Colorado's freshman forward, San Antonio native Andre Roberson, wasn't even recruited by most schools in Texas and didn't sign until early May.
But they share something in common: a battle during their senior year of high school in a prestigious prep tournament at San Antonio.
Colorado (14-7, 3-3 Big 12) plays Saturday at Baylor (13-6, 3-3). Tipoff is at 11:30 a.m., telecast by Altitude.
"Perry will remember me; we became pretty good friends during that tournament," Roberson said this week. "We went head-to-head in a game. Our team (San Antonio Wagner) won by five (points).
"But individually, he won by two points. He scored 17, I got 15."
Recruits that were way more highly regarded than Roberson fared worse than that against Jones, who is averaging 13.9 points and 7.1 rebounds as a college freshman.
Jones was ranked as high as No. 2 nationally (Sporting News) out of high school and earned McDonald's and Parade All-America honors.
"I just went out there and played my game against him," Roberson said. "I'll be pumped up to go against him again."
Perhaps that battle, with Roberson holding his own against the blue-chipper, was a harbinger of what Roberson would become – one of the surprises of the Big 12. Roberson comes off the bench for the Buffs ranks seventh among Big 12 rebounders (7.095 per game), just ahead of, you guessed it, Jones (7.052) – although both are rounded off at 7.1.
Roberson will have to develop a more consistent jump shot in future years, but he has had his moments offensively, averaging 6.4 points in an average of 21 minutes per game.
"I watched Big 12 basketball all the time growing up," Roberson said. "I saw Baylor a lot. They're long and athletic, and they can jump out the gym."
Baylor did not recruit Roberson.
"I just want to go out there and play hard and show everybody why they should have recruited me," Roberson said. "I like to have a chip on my shoulder. It gets me going. It gives me a little edge to my game."
