Radioactive nanoparticles that target cancer cells developed
Researchers at the University of Missouri have found a way to create radioactive nanoparticles that target lymphoma tumor cells wherever they may be in the body. Cancers of all types become most deadly when they metastasize and spread tumors throughout the body. Once cancer has reached this stage, it becomes very difficult for doctors to locate and treat the numerous tumors that can ...

In the Company of Men
The subject of Neil LaBute's debut film, "In The Company of Men" is cruelty, pure and simple. Although one of the central focuses of the film is cruelty between men and women, the film as a whole is not that narrow. It also branches off and shows cruelty between men and other men, between bosses and workers, between business colleagues, and even between those who call themselves friends. In less t ... ...

Should we really be letting these people in?
7:17pm Wednesday 6th May 2009 in One Man and his Dog End By One Man and his Dog End
Announcing a list of people she has decided to ban from coming to Britain because she doesn't like their opinions, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith declared, 'If you can't live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by, we should exclude you.'
Bugger. Presumably we're now only going to allow in cheats who fiddle their expenses (and would probably have ended up in jail in any other walk of life) and steal money from British taxpayers.

The Battle Royale: Obama vs. Romney
The president and his Republican challenger fight to the finish.
Posted Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012, at 3:54 PM
Less than week before Election Day, the outcome is by almost all accounts too close to call. As President Obama and Mitt Romney make their closing arguments, Slate V rolls out the final episode of Political Kombat '12, which recounts the story of the campaign as a series of videogame fights.
In the finale, President Obama goes head to head with Romney, and there's a twist: You get to choose the outcome.
In Episode 1, Romney faces off against Rick Santorum and Herman Cain. Episode 2 features Romney in a pitched battle against Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. The third segment imagines a fight between President Obama and Donald Trump. And Episode 4 pits Paul Ryan against Joe Biden.

Lip Gloss -Revlon - Colorburst - Sunbaked
Ellety 1/1/2013 8:47:00 PM
Liked what one the previous reviewers said this is very much like MAC's Cremesheen in Deelight. Which was my HG lipgloss! I probably have bought twenty of those! lol I like Sunbaked better now bc it is slightly more pink and less nude in color. I randomly picked Sunbaked up at Walgreens one day and soooo glad I did! It is truly a beautiful no fuss lip color. I wear it to work a lot bc it never looks like "I'm doing too much". The packaging is attractive, slim and looks high quality. The applicator is flatten doe-foot applicator. I actually liked it bc it bends a little as I apply it. I've heard good things in the Colorburst lip gloss line offered by Revlon and I look forward to checking out "Fire" and some others. I totally recc this to lip gloss lovers! especially is you love cremesheens!

Cleansers -MAC - Cleanse Off Oil
Ellety 1/1/2013 6:48:00 PM
LOVE IT! I have never have spent $28 for any makeup remover before, but I knew I would love this! Every MAC SA I've spoke to about this uses it themselves religiously and whole-heartily recc. ( So do I) I use eye MU removers and feel like I lose lots of lashes. But the cleasnse off oil is sooooo gentle refreshing and kinda fun to use. I feel like I'm performing a magic trick when it feels like regular oil at first, then when you get it wet it turns into a milky lather! lol I actually look forward to using this! I love how my skin looks afterward. It smells like natural oils. Plus I don't have to follow up with more cleansing. I know this is going to become a beauty routine staple for me! This is a true winner!! :-)

Eye Primer -Too Faced - Shadow Insurance, Anti-Crease Eye Shadow Primer
Ellety 1/1/2013 6:38:00 PM
I love TF's e/s primer much better than UDPP bc it actually doesn't crease! I have oily lids so I think TF's formula works better for me. I got it when on Hautelook and they had a deal for $18 for this and a small 6 shade palette. I thought it was worth a shot! If I didn't like it, at least I'd have the palette. Good thing I liked them both! :) I like it but I don't love it. I reeeeeally love Lorac's Behind the Scene primer bc it's silkier and leave less of a color behind. I'd buy again bc it works, but not an absolute staple.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Havana
Ellety 1/1/2013 6:29:00 PM
I bought Havana at a nearby CCO for $18. (Which is the most I've ever paid for a single e/s) I believe they went for about $20 when they were first released. I have tons of e/s and never am loyal to one. But Havana is different than anyother e/s I own. It is silky feeling and the e/s feels almost airy in the pan. I use this e/s more than any other e/s! When I apply it, it is a gorgeous antique gold on my deep skin. My favorite part is that HAvana looks like a different color depending on what part of the lid it lies on. I just put it from my inner lid to my outer lid and it looks like I smoked out the outer part of my eye. I LOVE THAT!! I use this whenever I'm in a hurry and don't have time to create a whole eye look for the day. Even though I initially thought it was expensive when i bought, I use it more than any e/s! I woulda paid full price plus a backup. ***lil heads up*** Don't try to depot these, I hear they only have a net bottom to the e/s and extra dimension skinfinishes. hopefully this helps you MUBs!

Crème -MAC - Studio Tech
Ellety 12/27/2012 8:58:00 PM
Lovely application. I used to use the 109 brush with fix+, but I felt that I was beating the brush up and it was shedding all over. So I started using the urban decay optical blurring brush and it is pure perfection. price is okay, def not a steal. my color is NC50 which worked wells across my experiences with mac foundations This gives me a flawless face, matched with the pro long wear concealer. I really like a light-feeling flawless face, but everyone doesn't feel the same. I always get compliments saying that I have such beautiful skin when I wear this. Which is always the ultimate test if a new makeup product is working. :)

Eyeliner -MAC - Liquidlast Liner - Point Black
Ellety 12/20/2012 5:05:00 PM
I absolutely live for this liquid eyeliner! I crease in one of my lids and despise the look of liner that has creased to my upper lid. This liner does not budge and I like the applicator. It takes only about 30 secs to dry then it's there until you remove it with eye makeup remover. The only downfall is that it clumps up before the product is done. The other part I love about it is that it is the blackest black which is hard to find in a waterproof liner. I try as many different liners to achieve my winged eye look, but this works the best! (even compared to Makeup Forever's aqua eyes or drugstore brands) This is the ONE liner that I must have in my collection at all times! Highly recc'd!

Ellety 12/7/2012 12:29:00 AM
I really loved the warmth this blush gave me. The SA suggested it after she mentioned she tried that blush on another customer with deep skin and she loved it too! This is a color that I don't think will work on all girls, but it's one worth trying. *Heard Rihanna wore this blush at the Golden Globes this year ; )* Not that makes a difference, just wanted to share the knowledge! Specifics: Warm terracotta colored matte blush. Smooth in texture, amazing color payoff, last for atleast 6 hours. Cost me $28 at Sephora

Highlighters -NARS - Highlighting Blush Powder in Albatross
Ellety 12/6/2012 11:51:00 PM
HG highlighter! I was like many others that didn't "get" Albatross. Well, outta curiosity on how horrible it was going to swatch on my deep skin, I tested it in Sephora. Needless to say I was shocked the white pan swatched a glorious sheer golden color! Complex color that isn't quite gold or silver. I loved the way it made my skin glow! This highlighter works wonderfully especially when I use my NARS Outlaw blush. I recc'd to any WOC, you'll love it too!!

Concealers -MAC - Pro Longwear concealer
Ellety 12/2/2012 11:54:00 PM
I like the MAC Pro Longwear concealer. I actually don't even have to set it with powder. It does not cake up on me. I do not have time for touch-up throughout my day at work, so it is nice I can trust this concealer to stay in place. I like how the NC50 concealer is a lot warmer than the NC50 Studio Sculpt so that it would compliment each other without doing makeup math in your head about what would fit best. For example, for a NC50, the MUA matched me to a NW40 Mineralize Concealer. (Which i don't like as much as the Pro Longwear concealer. To be honest though, the MUA taught me to mix the highlighter pen in Bright Forecast with this concealer...I loved the glowed-out/Kim K. look so much, I've never worn this concealer alone! As far as packaging goes, it is blahhh. it is very hard, maybe impossible to keep the pump from getting messy. As you use the product, the bottle does not empty gracefully. I want my makeup to look pretty even if it's half full. Maybe MAC could of frosted out the bottle a little.But I don't think I waste too much product with this design. Overall: I'm semi-new to the concealer world, but I have had a good experience with the Pro Longwear concealer. It is worth a try,if you are on the market for a long lasting concealer.

Palettes -LORAC - PRO Palette
Ellety 12/2/2012 11:17:00 PM
Lorac really WOWed me with the PRO palette! I usually just buy UD palettes for their pigmentation and variety, but not necessarily for their functionality. So.... when I saw the PRO Palette it was love at first swatch! :) For my NC50 skin it is important to only buy quality shadows with superior pigmentation. The PRO palette achieved this! I can easily use this palette every single day with a new look! I sometimes feel like I have a million shimmer shades, so I was ecstatic to see the choice in the palette. The color payoff in each shade is high and it is as soft as butter. You must be lighthanded when picking up color.The matte shades are my favorite part. I even use Espresso for my eyebrows. love it! Taupe is a great shade for cleaning up the edges of my look. Sable is an amazing transition shade. The black is dead on, love it! I have never used every color but one in any other pre-made palette! The shimmers shade are interesting choices that I love! I use Pewter the most, but Garnet, Deep Purple and Lt. Bronze are all completely unique shades. (I hate how some palettes have 10 golds, with no variety) The packaging is sleek and feels nice to the touch. Problem is that it is cardboard and I don't see it being super durable. On the other hand, you have to be super gentle with this palette. I have gotten into depotting all my pre-made palette and I know I cannot do this with the PRO palette bc I'm afraid the shadows are too fragile. :-/ I wish Lorac would sell individual shades in pans. But I can't have it al! Overall: This should be in the arsenal to any MUB! Wonderful quality awesome price of $42 for all the color choices. Amazing combination of matte and shimmer shades. I would recc for anyone who has to get one palette, it is so versatile, you can't go wrong!

Eye Shadow -MAC - Paint Pot - Constructivist
Ellety 8/29/2012 2:32:00 PM
Love it! First paint pot I've ever bought and its a makeup routine essential for me! I can use it as a primer, shadow and highlighter. It's my only product that it's easier to use my finger than a brush. It kind of does the work for me. This paint pot catches the creases and shadows of my eye, which makes it look like I've blended two colors together. For a NC50 like myself, I think it's very useful! I wish MAC carried more paint pot shadow colors though. Im still looking for more neutrals for skin tone. But overall...I highly Rec! :)

The award winning StudentWatch Suite offers the only online behavior management system that completely and effectively manages student discipline and other behavior data at the student, building, and district levels. It ensures that all staff and administrators maintain consistency in addressing student behaviors in compliance with board policies and federal, state and local regulations.
The Student Behavior Management System automates the recording of referrals, teacher classroom documentation and the reinforcement of positive behaviors, along with the reporting, analysis, tracking, and communication of behavioral data. The system provides administrators the data they need to quickly and easily intervene in the prevention and intervention of inappropriate behaviors to significantly reduce office referrals. Also, administrators can more quickly and easily analyze behavioral data, process office referrals and communicate the results in a fraction of the time it used to take.
Additionally, the system addresses the frustrating "communication gap" that often results from paper and other computer-based or online referral systems. Communication is automated resulting in improved staff, student, and parental awareness and notification.
Administrators who turn their office referral process over to StudentWatch are no longer burdened with driving every step of the discipline process since the system manages the process for them. Administrators will reduce the time they spend dedicated to student discipline issues while teachers will experience an increase in instructional time with students, regardless of how the process is being managed today!
Our school district administrators focus on education and turn the student discipline management process over to StudentWatch.
The StudentWatch Suite may be purchased as a unit or as individual modules.
Automates the management, notification, tracking and documentation of discipline referrals, teacher documentation and positive reports. Assists in the implementation of all behavior management strategies and ensures consistency across all schools and staff.
Enhances recordkeeping and communication with administrators to intervene and improve the effectiveness of the support given to at-risk students.
Improves recordkeeping for teachers with this quick and easy-to-use documentation tool providing a composite with all other behavior records.
Enhances student behavior programs with this custom certificate creator for quickly creating and printing positive certificate for recognizing and rewarding positive student behaviors.
Automates the creation of district standard, or custom, discipline and behavior student and parent letters.
Enhances student behavior intervention processes with quick access to individual, site, type and district-wide behavior and discipline data.
Improves student intervention programs with complete data on individual students who may be at risk, and other information on behavior types, locations, motivations, times of day, offenses, consequences and more. Improve education in the classroom since all information on staff submitting referrals is enhanced thus providing information for administrators to help in classroom management, student interaction and more.
Automates the exportation of behavior records to state and federal agencies addressing regulatory reporting requirements while eliminating school duplicate entries and recordkeeping.

Roke Primary School classed inadequate by Ofsted
2:10pm Wednesday 13th June 2012 in News By Nick Hitchens
A primary school formerly rated as outstanding has been slapped with the lowest mark available in the latest Ofsted inspection.
Roke Primary School, in Kenley, received top marks from the education regulator in 2005-6 but was classed as needing improvement in an inspection carried out in May.
Achievement of its pupils, quality of teaching and pupil behaviour were classed as satisfactory, while leadership and management were given as inadequate.
Head teacher, Caroline Phillips, said: "As head teacher this is very disappointing. But our team has the backing of the council, the governors and parents at the school.
"We recognised the areas of weakness in the school and were already working on them before Ofsted came. "
Councillor Tim Pollard, cabinet member for children, families and learning, said: "While it is of course deeply disappointing, everyone is confident it will be possible to see the changes made in time for the re-inspection."

Police Arrest Group of Teens for Robbery, Mob Action
Oak Park police charged a group of Chicago teens with robbery and mob action following an attempt to steal another teen's shoes with a BB gun.
Oak Park police arrested and later charged five teens from Chicago with aggravated robbery and mob action on Jan. 3 following an incident after they allegedly attempted to rob a 13-year-old Chicago resident of his shoes.
Police made the arrest on the platform of the Green Line station on Oak Park Avenue around 8:53 p.m.
Police said the group of teens—all juveniles between the ages of 12-13—were walking down Lake Street when they approached another teen from Chicago who was waiting in front of the Oak Park Public Library for a ride.
The group began harassing the boy, asking him what he was doing there and what he had in his pockets. Eventually, one of the teenagers in the group showed the victim a handgun and told him to take off his shoes, police said.
The victim pushed the offender away and the gun fell to ground as he tried to escape. As he was running, one of the teens struck him.
Police found the group running up the stairs of the Green Line platform and made the arrest. The gun recovered was found to be a BB gun.
All five teens were charged with aggravated robbery and mob action, with one additionally charged with battery for striking the victim. The group was processed at the station and issued a court date before being turned over to their parents.

The main Oak Park library has police incidents daily. They no longer have security at the entrance and when they did the officers would play around with the kids in trouble. Oak Park needs to be more diligent in making the community feel safe. Especially when going to the library, shopping, movies, etc.

Hire off-duty police as security at the library. Allow them to wear their uniforms, and carry a radio.
8:35 am on Sunday, January 6, 2013
Why don't they have security? Is it cost? If so, it's time to figure out that keeping three libraries running in a small town is a ridiculous waste of money when we can't keep one secure enough for people not to worry.

For quite some time, Heifer International has proclaimed to be unique among all the other nonprofit organizations working around the world. And we are. What sets us apart is our model. We only enter communities upon invitation. We train project participants extensively and on a host of topics that range from animal husbandry to gender equity. But what really sets us apart is our strategy of Passing on the Gift.® It's an approach that has evolved over our nearly seven decades of work.
Recently Heifer has taken its proven model and scaled it to reach even more vulnerable people. As the world has become increasingly interdependent and globalized, and as hunger and poverty have reached unprecedented levels, the quest to end hunger and poverty requires supporting sound community-based work that builds social capital and business skills and knowledge that empowers the communities to take appropriate actions to achieve sustainability. There is also a global movement building coalitions of governments, the private sector, multilaterals, bi-laterals and foundations to find more effective solutions to end poverty and hunger, which creates new space for Heifer to forge partnerships with them. Scaling up program impact, expanding outreach to encompass other marginalized populations, and communicating impact rigorously and convincingly is the new global space for Heifer's internal work.
Heifer International is committed to ending hunger and poverty while caring for the Earth, and to living its core values by transforming itself to be a more coherent, unified and stronger organization committed to providing deeper, more profound and sustainable impact through all its programs and projects.
Communities are the foundation of all Heifer projects. Whether it is a local group of people who are working together to improve their lives or a newly organized group coming together to address a pressing problem, these communities plan to change their future. In new projects, Heifer will retain this commitment to building communities while focusing work with the most vulnerable and marginalized populations who lack access to resources, services or opportunities, setting them on a path first to being less vulnerable and relatively food secure, and then to being resilient, sustainable and linked to markets.
When Heifer steps in, groups of at least 1,000 families are provided a values-based planning and management model to guide their development projects. The values-based planning and management model is founded on Heifer's 12 Cornerstones for Just and Sustainable Development. The Cornerstones provide a meaningful context for Heifer's efforts because they stimulate group wisdom and personal insights, and they keep the group's actions balanced, focused and productive. As a result, the values-based model works in diverse settings for people with various levels of education and literacy. The model is highly participatory and emphasizes local ownership of the decision making process; commitment of local resources; participation of all people regardless of gender, ethnicity or religion; inclusion of traditional, indigenous knowledge; understanding that community development is a process; and outsiders as facilitators of change.
Through the values-based planning and management model, communities decide what types of animals and production systems they want, who should receive animals and the type of training required to make their project successful. Livestock provide high-quality protein in the form of milk, eggs or meat; capital assets, which can be used as collateral for loans; inputs such as milk, honey, eggs or wool for microenterprises; draft power that increases crop yields; manure to fertilize crops; pack-power to transport water, firewood and people; and increased value and "living savings accounts" for project families.
Training and preparation for livestock often takes the entire first year of a five-year Heifer project. Typical training includes preparations for livestock, training in animal health and husbandry, integration of livestock into the ecosystem, improvement of the environment, gender and family roles, nutrition, leadership, small enterprise management and accountability. Families prepare to receive their animals by building shelters and planting fodder. Training continues as required after livestock is placed with families. In particular, participants learn about Passing on the Gift—when livestock recipients become donors, giving one or more of their original animals' offspring, or the equivalent to another in need—and the importance of sharing work and resources equitably. When the offspring reaches an appropriate age, it is passed on, typically with ceremony and celebration, from one family to another.
Heifer projects succeed because project members receive assets that produce knowledge, food and income. When combined with the commitment to Pass on the Gift, the project becomes sustainable. Projects strive to build community assets in five areas:
At the end of every project, Heifer evaluates the extent of lasting change brought by the effort using a specific evaluation process. Based on the evaluation, successful projects may be continued or replicated in another community to broaden the impact.
As part of our new way of working, Heifer will also partner with governments, private sector organizations, other nonprofits, coalitions and networks to aid in delivering programs and services to the marginalized. While our projects now achieve the three levels of impact—below the ground, on the ground and above the ground—projects will work harder so that outcomes are more visible. The three levels of impact will include positive changes on social capital, gender equity, nutrition and income, economic development, environment, as well as individual and community transformation.

Trust Your Results: Afternoon Sessions on Food and Health
In the last session of the day, we had a few experimental talks on noticing how food changes physical condition. It was also an interesting series of talks that shows the importance of collecting our own subjective data to back up or refute the other technological data that we might also have access to.
I kicked off the session with my talk "Quantifying My Genetics: Why I have been banned from caffeine". My colleagues and friends helped me quantify my behavior after one, two, or three cups of coffee by giving my agitation a number from 0-10.
I found out that I'm a slow caffeine metabolizer from my genetic results and it seems like there is a correlation between how caffeine affects me and my genes. My genes are not deterministic, I couldn't have known how caffeine affects me without making my own independent observations.
On a fun note, the crowd guessed that I had one cup of caffeine today, they were right, I had a cup of tea earlier down in the restaurant, away from the conference.
Next we had Martha Rotter who talked about how she experimented with her diet to solve her skin problems after doctors told her there was not much she could do. She did one allergy test where the results said she was allergic to chicken and soy- but after cutting out both of those foods, she did not see any changes but it gave her the idea to test different food groups.
After her experiment with a chicken and soy-less diet, she tried a few other food groups, eventually hitting on cutting out dairy. Her skin cleared up within two weeks of stopping drinking milk, eating cheese.
I think the take away message from our two sessions this afternoon, don't be afraid to do your own testing, trust in your results.
Genetics Communities and the Future of Genes
I led a very interesting discussion at Quantified Self Europe this morning with about 10 attendees with a variety of backgounds. There were entrepreneurs who wanted to start genetic information based companies, a designer, a think tank analyst, and people who are just interested in where the field is and where it was going.
The first thing we did was to create an impromptu community, putting the chairs into a circle and starting the discussion with what brought each of us to the topic of Creating Genetic Communities. This is where the conversation started but the topics ranged from where the industry is going to how to use design to help a non-technical audience understand their genetic data.
There was agreement in the room that the price of DNA sequencing is decreasing exponentially, the discussion then moved to what an individual can do with their own data vs. getting aggregate genetic data. There was an intense debate about open data vs. transparency of who has access vs. private databases. There was also a challenge thrown out by two group members to make genetic information more actionable.
It's an amazing group of people who have come together in Amsterdam to discuss where we are going as we get more data on ourselves.

Antimicrobial Resistance in the EnvironmentISBN: 978-0-470-90542-5
632 pages
January 2012, Wiley-Blackwell
This price is valid for United States. Change location to view local pricing and availability. Other Available Formats: E-book
Examines effects of the environmental distribution of antimicrobial resistance genes on human health and the ecosystem
Resistance genes are everywhere in naturein pathogens, commensals, and environmental microorganisms. This contributed work shows how the environment plays a pivotal role in the development of antimicrobial resistance traits in bacteria and the distribution of resistant microbial species, resistant genetic material, and antibiotic compounds. Readers will discover the impact of the distribution in the environment of antimicrobial resistance genes and antibiotics on both the ecosystem and human and animal health.
Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment is divided into four parts:
Part I, Sources, including ecological and clinical consequences of antibiotic resistance by environmental microbes
Part II, Fate, including strategies to assess and minimize the biological risk of antibiotic resistance in the environment
Part III, Antimicrobial Substances and Resistance, including antibiotics in the aquatic environment
Part IV, Effects and Risks, including the effect of antimicrobials used for non-human purposes on human health
Recognizing the intricate links among overlapping complex systems, this book examines antimicrobial resistance using a comprehensive ecosystem approach. Moreover, the book's multidisciplinary framework applies principles of microbiology, environmental toxicology, and chemistry to assess the human and ecological risks associated with exposure to antibiotics or antibiotic resistance genes that are environmental contaminants.
Each chapter has been written by one or more leading researchers in such fields as microbiology, environmental science, ecology, and toxicology. Comprehensive reference lists at the end of all chapters serve as a gateway to the primary research in the field.
Presenting and analyzing the latest findings in a field of growing importance to human and environmental health, this text offers readers new insights into the role of the environment in antimicrobial resistance development, the dissemination of antimicrobial resistant genetic elements, and the transport of antibiotic resistance genes and antibiotics.

National Night Out: Celebrating in Minneapolis
It's that time of year to block off your street, cook up some hotdogs and introduce yourself to all your neighbors. Minneapolis participated in the 29th year of National Night Out on Tuesday, August 7, with over 1,360 registered events. St. Paul also participated in NNO, while Ramsey County, outside St. Paul, chose to go with the third annual "Night to Unite."
"It takes a village, it starts with our block," was this year's NNO theme in Minneapolis, an event aimed to help prevent crime through the grassroots approach of meeting your neighbors and forming tighter communities. While some Minneapolis communities used the event to show their resilience to gun violence, other organizations used the night in other ways.
Jewish Community Action used the night as a way to open up conversation about discrimination. JCA sent representatives to different block parties on Tuesday to talk about both the upcoming vote on a Photo ID Amendment, which opponents believe marginalizes minorities and the elderly, and the Marriage Amendment, which would deny gay couples the right to marry in Minnesota.
While NNO is a serious tool to help further safety in our communities, it's also a great way to have a good time and remember just what makes our communities great: the people. We wanted to know what people thought of their neighborhoods, so we visited four block parties in three communities asking their residents, "What's the favorite thing about your neighborhood?"
August 2: National Night Out rolls around again on August 7. This annual front-porch-and-block-party event has people turning on their porchlights, sharing potluck dinners, barbecuing, and generally enjoying their neighbors. Started 29 years ago as a way to fight crime by showing solidarity, NNO has grown to a gigantic national organization with accompanying controversy over how much its national officers are paid. But, putting all that aside, Tara Davenport has some great tips on how to keep it simple and have fun — she recommends root beer floats and music as key ingredients. Minneapolis has a list of neighborhood NNO celebrations (also attached at the bottom of this article as a pdf document.) St. Paul's list will be published later this week -- but the preliminary list, as of Monday, July 30, also is attached below as a pdf document. |
Tell us about about YOUR National Night Out — past and present:
• What did you and your neighbors do for NNO?
• If you didn't participate in NNO, why not?
Time Marches On
Our block historian says he's sure our block was partying in 1990, so this is our 22nd consecutive block party! What changed this year is that every direct we looked there were parties going on, one was even in an alley! We were used to getting visitors from all t he surrounding blocks. This year they all had a party of their own. Minneapolis really outdid itself this year. We had our normal activities. We had 3rd precinct police stopping by to meet us. We had a drawing for great prizes. We had a trivia contest to find out who knew the m ost about the block and to give new partiers to delve into the history of the block. We had a nice array of food, including "make your own gyro". And our block is loaded with kids including brand new twins. This might be the biggest youth movement in our history. So, we considered this up to our usual high standard of success.

Insight and analysis of factors driving prices.
Propylene spot prices remained on an uptrend at the beginning of the quarter, rising to $1,390-1,440/tonne CFR NE Asia by late February. Reduced cracker operating rates in Asia kept spot supply snug during this period.
However, the unrelenting climb in propylene feedstock costs started taking a toll on key derivatives, particularly the polypropylene (PP) sector. Spot prices started softening from March amid the start-up of new capacities in the region such as Korean producer GS Caltex's vacuum gas oil (VGO) fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit in Yeosu, which can produce around 250,000 tonnes of propylene, largely for export.
In addition, the unplanned shutdown at Japanese producer Nippon Shokubai's acrylic acid facilities since September 2012 contributed to the price decline as propylene exports from Japan increased amid reduced derivative demand.
Propylene spot prices thus weakened to $1,250-1,310/tonne CFR NE Asia by the second half of April, but the market began to recover after that amid news that Nippon Shokubai could restart one acrylic acid line by the end of May and as upcoming cracker turnarounds in Japan in May-June contributed to expectations that supply from Japan was poised to decline.
By mid-May, propylene prices were assessed at $1,320-1,330/tonne CFR NE Asia.
Updated to mid-May 2013

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - The Canadian government is trying to lure Silicon Valley tech workers who are frustrated by U.S. visa policies, just as Congress wrestles with a long-sought overhaul of America's immigration system. Canada's minister of citizenship, immigration and multiculturalism arrived in the San Francisco Bay area today for a 4-day visit aimed at snapping up talent for his country's high-tech economy by offering startup entrepreneurs a new visa.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Mourners are gathering at the Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California in Oakland to remember Malcolm X's grandson, Malcolm Shabazz. Authorities say Shabazz was beaten to death last week in a dispute over a $1,200 bar bill in Mexico City. The 28-year-old grandson of the slain civil rights leader had a troubled life, from setting a blaze in his grandmother's home that resulted in the death of Malcolm X's widow, Betty Shabazz, to stints in juvenile hall and prison. He seemed to be seeking redemption with plans to write a memoir and denouncing youth violence.
NOVATO, Calif. (AP) - Highway workers have unearthed artifacts used by a Native American tribe as part of a paving project along Highway 101 north of Novato. Arrowheads, parts of grinding bowls, stone tools and shells used by the Coast Miwok were discovered during the project, which archaeologists say has uncovered an area used by native people over several hundred years.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - The Washington Redskins have signed fourth-round draft pick Phillip Thomas, a safety from Fresno State who led major college football with eight interceptions last season. The first-team AP All-American was the 119th overall selection in last month's NFL draft. He sat out the 2011 season with a broken left leg and dislocated ankle.

So, I've not been getting to fish much due to weather and the things getting busy here on our little ranch.
A while back, we started raising goats to help keep our weeds under control so that we wouldn't have to use chemicals. Turns out, the goats are actually pretty profitable. They can be, however, a pain sometimes.
This past week, a bunch of our goats had babies. One was accidental. I never meant for her to be bred. Somehow, she started looking pregnant a few weeks ago, and it was her first time.
So, as I left for work the other night, goats started kidding. At about 3AM, my wife called to let me know that the new momma had THREE babies and wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with them. Two were alive and one was almost dead. She took the one that was almost dead into the house to warm it up and see if she could get some milk into it.
She put it on the floor and went after a heating pad. Before she could, our pit bull, Piper, began licking the baby goat all over. That stimulated the little fella, and he jumped up, screaming his guts out. My wife went back out and milked some milk from the mother goat and got it into the little guy with a syringe. Piper has absolutely claimed the little goat. She did such a good job, we put her in charge of the other two. She wakes us up when it's time for their bottles. She keeps them rounded up, but that's not hard because they won't leave her side.
My wife thought it was so cute, that she's entered Piper in a contest on a pit bull group on facebook. You could help her win this month by going to this link and "liking" the picture. My wife and I have become pit bull fans and are absolutely convinced these dogs get a seriously bad rap. She's been the best dog ever and continues to prove to us how good she is.
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid= ... =1&theater
Here is Piper when my wife first brought the little orphan inside.
And, a little licking and encouragement, and HE'S UP! Even if he is just a little wobbly.
Piper loves to look after her "goat puppies" out by the goat pens where none of the other dogs are allowed.
She keeps them safe and keeps them clean.
She even plays with them when they start bounding around.
Please go to the site and like her picture. I'd really like my wife and the dog to win the contest and there are already dogs that have been entered for the full month. Thanks.

Asus Windows 8 and RT tablets now known as Vivo Tab and Vivo Tab RT
Asus has revealed today that it has renamed its Asus Tablet 600 and Asus Tablet 810 models into a new Vivo Tab range. The Tablet 600, which runs Windows RT and includes an Nvidia Tegra 3 CPU, will now be known as the Vivo Tab RT without any specification changes from what was announced at Computex earlier this year.
The Tablet 810, which includes an Intel Atom processor and runs Windows 8, will now be known as the Vivo Tab. Again, Asus hasn't tweaked the specifications here. Both tablets will include a Transformer-like dock that features keyboard, trackpad, a second battery, and room for two USB ports. Asus isn't revealing pricing or availability for either models.

Hi Tami! You sound stressed, but determined. That's good! What do you feel you are mourning? Your old way of eating, or the time you used to have before hubby got hurt? (Hope he is getting better!) Either way, you need to focus on what you do have, and what you can do. Exercise is important, but does not have to be drudgery. Play a game of catch with the kids, go for a walk, do fun things, it's summer! Make sure you have all your favorite healthy things in the house. If you really like carrots, but have heard that celery has less calories, don't force the celery (for example) they are both loads better than candy bars! Glorious summer fruits are in season now, try a pluot or a fancy type of melon once in a while. Come back often, and check out our other forums like Getting Started (fitness)or Weightloss advice and tips Good to see you here! |

One Million Podio Apps Installed
A great milestone for work media vendor Podio: its users have installed one million Podio apps.
Podio supports the creation of data-oriented 'apps', such as a customer database, which can support business processes. Podio also supports an app store where thousands of predefined apps can be reused.
I think this is a sign of the growing maturation of social tools in the enterprise, as well as the acceptance of Podio's quite unique approach to creating and sharing business process-oriented apps.

They say nothing changes here but that is not true. The weather patterns have changed. The cityscape has changed. The overall feel and sprawled sense of placelessness has not changed. Not a bit.
I have found home.
And it's not what you think.
You've probably seen these great walls of dust on the news, the calamity they cause as they bear down on the desert. It's a storm system that's now part of monsoons, called a haboob.
They look terrifying.
People tend to hide indoors.
I was leery, at first. Listening to the dramatic expressions of caution and fret.
"Be careful."
"Stay safe."
"Try not to get caught in that."
This is what they look like inside.
It's just dust.
And wind.
And that's it.
When you move through cloaks of curious, places where you can't see where you intend to get, you can be careful. You can be safe. You can pull to the side and wait for the discomfort to pass, tell the tale.
Or you can push forward.
Keep going.
Become a part of what it is rather than sit aside and watch quietly.
There are times when I fall under the cracks, disappear for some time, abandon all but motherhood and instinct.
Watch the road unfold ten feet at a time. Delve deeply into the moments of uncertainty and the sense of being lost.
Begin again.

It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the 64th annual Student Conference on United States Affairs. I hope that our conference will surpass your expectations in every way. I have three goals for our conference: to increase each participant's knowledge about a diverse range of issues; to broaden each participant's understanding of our world, the many perspectives in it, and its growing interdependence; and to develop and enhance civil-military relations on an individual and institutional level. We have tailored our conference to meet these goals through engaged roundtable discussions, policy-focused paper development, remarks from diverse speakers, and social interaction. The amalgamation of these activities and the contributions of top-tier participants, like you, are what make SCUSA a world class conference and a treasure of the United States Military Academy.
The cornerstone of SCUSA is the roundtable discussion. At the roundtables, delegates have a chance to explore a specific policy area under the mentorship of experts. This discussion introduces students to different ideas, perspectives, and ways of thinking while they work to develop remedies for some of the world's most complex issues. Throughout the duration of the conference, this dialogue shapes the roundtable policy papers that contain approaches to addressing the different topic areas. In between roundtable sessions, the conference exposes delegates to experts on a variety of topics through a panel discussion, a policy address, and a keynote speech. Each of these events will highlight different aspects of U.S. policy and will assist delegates as they develop their policy papers. Throughout the conference, we also host social events for delegates to get to know each other and build connections that will last a lifetime.
Of course, your safety and comfort are paramount concerns of ours. For this reason, please make sure to comply with all precautions, such as wearing badges, following curfew, and consuming alcohol in moderate amounts. Please also refer to our FAQ page for information regarding additional items to bring to the conference. A safe and comfortable environment is the key to a good learning environment.
Thank you for joining us at SCUSA 64. SCUSA is a life-changing experience and I hope that after this year at SCUSA, it will mean as much to you as it does to me. Welcome, and I look forward to seeing you all on November 7th.
Robert F. Delaney
SCUSA 64 Commander
