Juice It Up!, one of the nations largest raw juice bar chains and smoothie franchises has announced the launch of its newest blended creation, the Ever Green Smoothie. The new offering, which combines vitamin-packed vegetables such as Kale and Spinach, with the flavor of a blended smoothie, has customers, core juicers, and yes…moms everywhere, thrilled to be "going green".
The Ever Green Smoothie (the name referring to the colorful combination of its ingredients and the ever present health benefits of green vegetables) is an offering that was developed specifically in response to both consumer demand and an unanswered question in the marketplace. How do you take two very separate and successful product lines of raw juicing and smoothies and combine them into a product that everyone can love?
"We identified a very large need in the marketplace and set a course to provide the perfect solution to that question," says Paul Schmidt, chief operating officer for Balboa Brands Inc., management company for the Juice It Up! brand. "The Ever Green was specifically designed to deliver the benefits of raw juicing, but with a flavor profile that appeals to a full spectrum of customers."
The power-punch of vitamins and minerals distinguish the smoothie as a match of flavor and function. Each Ever Green Smoothie is low in fat, high in fiber, and delivers healthy amounts of vitamins A, C, K and B. All benefits which appeal to core juice enthusiasts, those new to juicing, and as a healthy option for children.
"Young to old, we're helping people drink their veggies," Schmidt says. "We've just developed a way for everyone to enjoy how they taste."

IT managers with The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have extra data center space and want to get into the business of offering cloud-based or shared services to other federal agencies.
But here's the problem: The IT and data center staff currently do not have the experience, processes or training to provide the services themselves, said Noah Nason, ATF's chief technology officer.
"What are we doing about that?" Nason asked attendees at a federal data center summit in Washington, D.C., Sept. 13.

Why agencies need a blueprint for shared IT services
One idea ATF is considering is to award contracts to vendors that have the experience to manage cloud and shared services. This would help build trust among agencies looking for a shared services provider, Nason said during a government panel discussion at the summit, which was sponsored by Juniper Networks and MeriTalk.
ATF has been working on virtualization and consolidation of data center assets for a long time. The bureau is well into its third infrastructure and has consolidated into two data centers. ATF has a government-owned Tier 2 data center in Martinsburg, W.Va., and another one owned by Hewlett Packard in Cherokee, Okla. ATF has about 500 servers in those facilities, about 200 of them virtualized, Nason said.
"Because we virtualized all these servers, we have a fair amount of space. About 40 percent of floor space is free right now," Nason said.
The Office of Management and Budget's 25-point IT reform plan stipulates that agencies should adopt light technologies and shared services. To that end, Nason began thinking about what ATF could do with its extra space.
ATF could lease the floor space out. "I am sure that the real estate guys would be happy to do that; it would lower their costs. But the IT guys wouldn't benefit from that because it would be money we wouldn't see," Nason said.
IT officials see an opportunity to provider higher levels of service in providing hardware and operating systems, software-as-a-service or cloud-based services in which ATF share servers with other agencies, he said.
Bringing in experienced vendors to lease space would make ATF a more viable option for some agencies, he said.
More importantly, it could help the IT department lower its prices for services, and savings from that setup could go back into the IT budget.
"If we have 100 servers in the data center and we sell our space to another 50, that could get us to a different level of consolidation and to a lower price point," Nason said.
"If we get a lower price point that goes into my budget," he said.
If ATF rents out space, the IT organization will have to get more training in security because it has to do better information and network surveillance not only for themselves but also for customers, Nason said.
Nason doesn't view ATF as competing with the Defense Information Systems Agency, which offers cloud-based services to DOD users, or commercial vendors. "We just don't have the scale," he said.
Most likely, small law enforcement agencies or those who need to secure personal identification information might seek out ATF's services. "We might not be priced competitively but will be culture-, trust- and ease-of-use-competitive," Nason said.

Enough already with agencies getting into businesses not in their mission statements. Department of Ag started this a couple decades ago, and it has snowballed since then with agencies competing with GSA on GWAC and such. If they have too much raised-floor space, TURN IT BACK to GSA or the commercial landlord. The longer I work for the government, the more I think all telecom, telephony, and IT should be taken away from functional agencies, and common-serviced out of a housekeeping agency. Wait- isn't that what they set up GSA for, 60-some years ago?

TSA to let pocketknives aboard passenger planes
Flight attendants decry allowing knives back aboard flights as dangerous for them and for passengers.
The Transportation Security Administration will allow travelers to bring small knives, golf clubs and hockey sticks into airline cabins for the first time since 2001, TSA chief John Pistole announced Tuesday.
The change, intended to conform with international rules, will take effect April 25. The announcement came as Pistole spoke to a security conference in New York, and marks the first big loosening of restrictions for carry-on items since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Pistole stressed the importance of risk-based screening, to focus on the biggest threats to aircraft rather than holding everyone to the same security standard.
"The focus is on what could present catastrophic damage to the aircraft," said David Castelveter, a TSA spokesman.
TSA: U.S. is 'gold standard of aviation security'
MORE: Confiscated loot turns into state revenue
FORMER TSA CHIEF: Airport security is broken
Security experts such as Kip Hawley, the former head of TSA under former president George W. Bush, have long advocated reducing the number of banned items because the hardening of cockpit doors would prevent a terrorist from gaining control of a plane as hijackers did on 9/11.
Razor blades and box cutters, such as those the hijackers used, would still be prohibited.
"There's still an emotional attachment to that matter," Castelveter said.
But the items that will be allowed will more closely match standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization, according to the TSA. The following items will now be allowed:
- Knives without a molded grip and with blades that don't lock and are less than 6 centimeters or 2.36 inches.
- Novelty-size and toy bats less than 24 inches long and weighing less than 24 ounces.
- Billiard cues, ski poles, hockey and lacrosse sticks, and two golf clubs as part of carry-on baggage.
"This is part of an overall risk-based security approach, which allows transportation security officers to better focus their efforts on finding higher-threat items such as explosives," the TSA said in a statement.
The expansion of what is allowed on the plane follows earlier decisions to allow cigarette lighters and fingernail clippers. But the bulk of restricted items in carry-on luggage, such as liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces, remains unchanged. The prohibited items are listed at www.TSA.gov.
"We continually assess the threat associated with aviation travel, and where we can rely on the other layers of risk-based security," said Castelveter, referring to some pilots armed with guns, armed air marshals who fly undercover, and flight attendants trained in self defense.
But flight attendants blasted the change in policy for endangering passengers and crew members outside the cockpit.
The Flight Attendants Union Coalition, representing nearly 90,000 flight attendants at carriers nationwide, blasted the decision.
"Today's announcement to permit knives back into the aircraft cabin is a poor and shortsighted decision by the TSA," the group said in a statement. "As the last line of defense in the cabin and key aviation partners, we believe that these proposed changes will further endanger the lives of all flight attendants and the passengers we work so hard to keep safe and secure."
Stacy Martin, president of Southwest Airlines' flight-attendants union, Transport Workers Union of America Local 556, called the decision "outrageous."
"This policy was designed to make the lives of TSA staff easier, but not make flights safer," Martin says. "While we agree that a passenger wielding a small knife or swinging a golf club or hockey stick poses less of a threat to the pilot locked in the cockpit, these are real threats to passengers and flight attendants in the passenger cabin."

It is quite common for applications to manipulate collections of objects, passing them as arguments to functions and returning them when the processing is complete. There are many ways to represent these collections in most programming languages. They can be expressed as ordered vectors, unordered groups, linked lists, trees, graphs or other forms that the programming language supports. The Java language provides an entire library of collection types in the java.util package. The question, however, is how should you pass collections across a Web services invocation?
Can I use my favorite Java collection type?
To illustrate some issues brought about by the use of standard Java collection classes, let's suppose you want to create a customer service with a getCustomers operation. You might create a JavaBean that returns a collection of Customer objects based on some search criteria. You peruse the collection classes that the Java language offers and decide to use the java.util.LinkedList class. Your CustomerService class might look like the code mock-up in Listing 1:
Listing 1. The CustomerService class using a LinkedList
import java.util.LinkedList;
public class TheCustomerService {
public LinkedList getCustomers(String queryString) {
Customer customer1, customer2;
/* … retrieve customers for query … */
LinkedList list = new LinkedList();
/* iterate over the result set assigning to the list */
return list;
The next step is to expose this class as a Web service, and so you choose JAX-RPC-compliant tooling to generate the required artifacts, such as the WSDL file that describes the service interface. This is where the trouble starts. The JAX-RPC specification does not define a mapping for the LinkedList class. Instead, it mentions that each implementation can decide if and how this class is mapped and how instances of the class are serialized to and from XML.
For example, Listing 2, below, shows what the WebSphere Application Server tooling generates as the XML Schema for the class listed in Listing 1:
{mospagebreak title=Listing 2. The generated XML Schema for the CustomerService class.}
<schema elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns:impl="http://pack" xmlns:intf="http://pack"
<element name="getCustomers">
<element name="queryString"
<complexType name="ArrayOfXSDAnyType">
<element maxOccurs="unbounded"
<element name="getCustomersResponse">
<element name="getCustomersReturn"
As you can see, the tooling generates a complex type definition for something called ArrayOfXSDAnyType, which is, in turn, an unbounded sequence of type <xsd:anyType>. Why didn't it generate an element of type xsd:linkedList to contain your Customers? It's because there is no xsd:linkedList. There is no xsd:hashMap, no xsd:treeSet, no xsd:vector and no xsd:stack. All of those ficticious types would have some implied functioniality associated with them beyond storing an ordered list of objects. Each language, tool or environment is at liberty to provide arbitrary collection constructs that do one of the following:
– Implement variations of the implied functionality
– Omit that type of collection
– Define others not included in Java collections.
So how do you exchange collections of objects in an interoperable fashion? The answer is using an array.
The solution? Plain arrays…
While some of the collection classes might actually work in your specific environment (such as a Java to Java environment), they might not work in others. Thus, we recommend against using those classes on the service interface. The only way in which collections of objects should be transferred between Web services is as an array. The WS-I Basic Profile describes how arrays (which are still a language-specific construct) are mapped to XML and how this is described in the XML Schema, making its handling interoperable across multiple environments. Listing 3 shows what the changed CustomerService JavaBean looks like:
{mospagebreak title=Listing 3. The CustomerService class using a simple array.}
public class TheCustomerService {
public Customer[] getCustomers(String queryString) {
Customer customer1, customer2;
/* … retrieve customers for query … */
/* create an array large enough to hold the result set */
Customer[] customers = new Customer[2];
/* iterate over the result set assigning to the array */
customers[0] = customer1;
customers[1] = customer2;
return customers;
As you can see, we have replaced the LinkedList with an array of type Customer. Listing 4 shows the resulting XML Schema in the WSDL definition:
Listing 4. The updated XML Schema for the CustomerService class.
<schema elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns:impl="http://pack" xmlns:intf="http://pack"
<element name="getCustomers">
<element name="queryString"
<complexType name="Customer">
<element name="customerID"
<element name="getCustomersResponse">
<element maxOccurs="unbounded"
This resulting schema definition and the SOAP message that is generated for this service are language-neutral and follow the WS-I Basic Profile.
{mospagebreak title=Create a wrapper interface}
So far, so good. But what if you have an existing class that exposes language-specific Java collection classes in its method signatures, and you still want to expose this class via a Web service?
One relatively easy way of dealing with this situation is to create a wrapper around your service implementation, converting the collection interface into an array interface. For example, let's consider the original LinkedList-based CustomerService implementation listed above. We create a class with methods that invoke the original collection-based implementation but return Java arrays instead of the collections. The wrapper class might look like the one in Listing 5:
Listing 5. The wrapper class.
public class TheCustomerServiceWrapper {
protected TheCustomerServiceLinkedList innerService =
new TheCustomerServiceLinkedList();
public Customer[] getCustomers(String queryString) {
return (Customer[]) innerService.getCustomers(queryString
).toArray(new Customer[0]);
Now you can create the appropriate Web services artifacts based on this wrapper class, which internally uses the existing collection-based implementation.
The Java programming language offers a variety of collection classes for different types of collections of objects. None of these, however, are language-neutral, and serializing instances of them into XML is difficult and sometimes impossible. The only recommended way to expose object collections is to use arrays. The WS-I Basic Profile also describes and recommends this approach.
Using Java's collection classes in the signatures of the public methods of your classes is generally a poor choice, regardless of the implications associated with Web services, because doing so dilutes the "contract" between invoker and provider. These classes invariably store the objects they "collect" as generic references to java.lang.Object. This prevents static-type checking by the compiler and introduces new classes of runtime errors. In cases where an implementation already exists, you can still use an array to expose it as an interoperable Web service by using wrapper classes.
Note that this practice agrees nicely with our good practice recommendation that business logic be coded in a Java class and wrapped in a session EJB to be exposed as a Web service.

Dear PaleoAnthroEvo, I'm the inactive Professors of Memology group with you.
Please note my blog, "Poo Fools (us all)," is a defense of memetics. I'd be happy to have your input, or even a "like", from a fellow memetics enthusiast.
Thanks for your attention.
hi PEÄ - i'd love to read more - i find it so perplexing how this evolutionary line developed.
so send to: firstname.lastname@example.com
and thanks so much for the info. . .
hope you are having a great time during festival of lights/solstice time, alexa :]
hi PEÄ - [pronounced pay'-ah - writing out your whole handle looked silly to me and just pea as in the veg was ridiculous, so i made this up instead :]
i really don't understand the link between felines and the hyena. how did they figure this out? with or without DNA? through fossil data? bone structure? it's not apparent. . . and it does not say anything in the wikipedia article, which i'd already read. i can't find anything on-line - maybe not using the right search words. is there any way to find out? thanks so much - you are a font of knowledge :]
I didn't think what you were saying was that hard to understand, but apparently it was for some ;)
Hi, hope everything is ok, have a good weekend, take care now.
Welcome, Rachel! Glad you could join us. :D
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends.
Yeah, I can see some of that from the photos. Dawkins in there, too. I got to meet him when he came to Duke for his latest round of book tours for The Greatest Show on Earth.
I need to get around a bit more. I've been out of state plenty of times, recently, but never doing anything that I actually wanted to do.
Ohhhhhhhh, Garland is over near Dallas.
I first saw 'University of North Texas', and I thought Amarillo or Lubbock. I was going to say something along the lines of, "You poor, poor girl," before I got that sorted out.
You got to pose with PZ. No fair. ;_;

Analyzing data from more than 2,500 women who became mothers between 1978 and 1995, researchers from Pennsylvania State University and University of Akron found that moms who work full-time are healthier than those who stay home or work part-time.
Checking in at age 40, and controlling for things like pre-pregnancy employment, marital status race, pre-existing health problems and other factors, the study found that moms who went back to work not long after having kids reported more energy and mobility, and were less likely to be depressed.

"Work is good for your health, both mentally and physically. It gives women a sense of purpose, self-efficacy, control and autonomy. They have a place where they are an expert on something, and they're paid a wage," study author Adrianne Frech, an assistant sociology professor, said in an American Sociological Association news release.
Researchers think the medical benefits and financial stability that come with full-time work contribute to a woman's overall health. Unemployed moms who keep dropping out of the work force, often not by choice, reported the most health problems, suggesting the stress of not being in control of your career can really take its toll.

Our first troop meeting of the new Scouting year will be Wednesday, September 5, 7 to 8:30PM at the Derby 2nd Congregational Church. We will be handing out the new troop roster and going over the new, exciting troop calendar that your Patrol Leader's Council has planned for the 2007-08 Scouting year.
In addition, Mr. Oppel will be collecting your annual troop dues of $25 per scout and $40 for two scouts in the same family.
We will also discuss plans for the upcoming Ed Strang Day on the Derby Green, to be held on September 15. Press release : DERBY - Housatonic Council Boy Scout Troop 3 resumes its weekly Wednesday night meetings beginning September 5 at 7PM. Founded in 1914 and still meeting in the hall of the Derby 2nd Congregational Church, Boy Scout Troop 3 Derby is among the oldest continuously operating troops in the United States. With currently more than 60 members and 20 registered leaders from throughout the Lower Naugatuck Valley, the troop continues to offer opportunities for European travel, monthly backpacking, camping and hiking as well as training in leadership, teamwork and citizenship. Boys at least 11 years old interested in joining are invited to visit the troop meeting.
Troop 3 has been recognized for its community service by being named the Valley United Way's 2007 Youth Organization of the Year. In 2007, the scouts have provided more than 2,000 hours of service to the community through its many Eagle Scout projects and annual Scouting for Food drive, packages for those serving in the military and Good Friday cleanup day.
Youth members of the troop's Patrol Leader's Council have recently completed the program planning for the the 2007-08 Scout calendar year. Patrol leaders include: Derby and Ansonia Patrols: Tyler Stankye, Robert Mahan and Tim Stankye, Shelton Patrols: Mac Thompson and Michael Neuendorf, and Adarsh Salian for the Seymour/Oxford Patrol. Under the direction of Senior Patrol Leader Adam Cleri and Assistant Senior Patrol Leaders Matthew Frovarp, Christopher Wentz and James Blaskewicz, the junior leaders have planned monthly camping events at Ed Strang Scout Reservation, ski weekend at Killington, Vermont and Mohawk Mountain, as well as backpacking trips on the Appalachian Trail in Connecticut and Massachussetts. Additional highlights for the year include a 4 day cycling/camping trip to Block Island, Rhode Island and a week long tall ship summer sailing adventure in the Florida Keys.

An excerpt from John Main OSB, "Letting Go," JOHN MAIN: ESSENTIAL WRITINGS, Modern Spiritual Masters Series (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis, 2002), p. 127.
One of the most difficult things for Westerners to understand is that meditation is not about trying to make anything happen.
But all of us are so tied into the mentality of techniques and production that we inevitably first think that we are trying to engineer an event, a happening. According to our imagination or predispositions, we may have different ideas of what would happen. For some it is visions, voices, or flashes of light. For others, deep insights and understanding. For others again, better control over their daily lives and problems. The first thing to understand, however, is that meditation has nothing to do with making anything happen. The basic aim of meditation is indeed quite the contrary, simply to learn to become fully aware of what is. The great challenge of meditation is to learn directly from the reality that sustains us.
The first step toward this—and we are invited to take it—is to come into contact with our own spirit. Perhaps the greatest tragedy of all is that we should complete our life without ever having made full contact with our own spirit. This contact means discovering the harmony of our being, our potential for growth, our wholeness—everything that the New Testament and Jesus himself, called "fullness of life."
So often we live our life at five percent of our full potential. But of course there is no measure to our potential; the Christian tradition tells us it is infinite. If only we will turn from self to other, our expansion of spirit becomes boundless. It is all-turning; what the New Testament calls conversion. We are invited to unlock the shackles of limitation, to be freed from being prisoners within our self-limiting egos. Conversion is just this liberation and expansion arising when we turn from ourselves to the infinite God. It is also learning to love God, just as in turning to God we learn to love one another. In loving we are enriched beyond measure. We learn to live out of the infinite riches of God. (WMF, 19-20)
Meditate for Thirty Minutes. Remember: Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but alert. Silently, interiorly, begin to say a single word. We recommend the prayer phrase "Maranatha." Recite it as four syllables of equal length. Listen to it as you say it, gently, but continuously. Do not think or imagine anything spiritual or otherwise. Thoughts and images will likely come, but let them pass. Just keep returning your attention – with humility and simplicity to saying your word in faith, from the beginning to the end of your meditation.
After Meditation, "Finding a Teacher," W. S. Merwin, MIGRATION: NEW AND SELECTED POEMS (Port Townsend, WA: Copper Canyon Press, 2005), pp. 206-207
In the woods I came on an old friend fishing
and I asked him a question
and he said Wait
fish were rising in the deep stream
but his line was not stirring
but I waited
it was a question about the sun
about my two eyes
my ears my mouth
my heart the earth with its four seasons
my feet where I was standing
where I was going
it slipped through my hands
as though it were water
into the river
it flowed under the trees
it sank under hulls far away
and was gone without me
then where I stood night fell
I no longer knew what to ask
I could tell that his line had no hook
I understood that I was to stay and eat with him.

Real-World Review
2015 Subaru WRX STI: Real World Review
The 2015 Subaru WRX STI is one of the hottest performance cars on sale today, and we recently got the chance to drive it. Fully redesigned for the latest model year, the 2015 STI boasts a new look, new interior, improved suspension and a stiffer body, which are some major changes for a car with so many enthusiasts. So how does the sedan stack up? After spending a week behind the wheel, these are our thoughts.
Fun, Fun, Fun
Most of our staffers who drove the latest STI came away thinking, simply, that this car is lots of fun. While it has a few quirks, which we'll address below, we ultimately had a fantastic time behind the wheel of the monstrously powerful 2015 Subaru WRX STI sport sedan.
To explain why, let's start with acceleration. In a word, this car is fast. With over 300 horsepower, all-wheel drive and a standard 6-speed manual transmission, the STI is one of the quickest cars on the road. Kris, one of our staffers, reported that one passenger said it's the only car she's ever felt carsick in; but in this case, we think that might be a compliment.
Surprisingly, the WRX STI handles even better than it accelerates. One driver, Ben, remarked on the car's amazing road grip, explaining that the car was firmly planted to the ground no matter how hard he took an off-ramp. Kris mentioned a similar experience, noting that the sedan's stability and responsiveness increased with its speed. That's high praise from two experienced drivers -- especially for a car like the STI, which started its life as a simple compact sedan.
Looks Great, Too
In addition to being a fun ride, we also happen to think the STI is very attractive. That's not necessarily something we'd say about its predecessor, the somewhat awkward-looking Impreza, but once the sedan's fenders are flared and the body kit is added to convert the Impreza into an STI, the entire car becomes much better-looking.
Our only gripe about the STI's styling is the wing. While it's been a hallmark of the high-performance Subaru for years, we (and many of those who rode with us) think it looks ridiculous. Kris noted that there are even a few functional issues with the wing, including that it cuts down on rear visibility and makes the trunk much heavier and harder to open and close. The wing is the first thing we'd remove if we were buying an STI, though we recognize that many drivers like its high-performance notoriety.
Interior Pros and Cons
Climb inside and you can immediately tell that Subaru has devoted some serious effort to improving the STI's cabin. Last year's cheap plastics have been replaced by better materials on nearly every visible surface. One of our drivers, Dwight, confirmed this, noting that the interior features good touch points and a good mixture of materials, though he did suggest that the driver's seat could've been a bit more supportive around corners.
Seats weren't our only gripe with the STI's interior. Several complaints centered around the sporty Subaru's backup camera. While that may seem like a trivial matter on a purpose-built performance car, the camera comes in handy because of the dramatic way in which the wing cuts down on rear visibility. Ben noted that the camera was too small, while Dwight added that it's too far away from the driver. And more than one driver pointed out the fact that the A-pillar further impedes this car's visibility from the driver's seat.
Another issue: the stereo. While materials have improved, and the overall sound quality was great, Kris expressed disappointment -- disbelief, really -- in the car's lack of touchscreen. That's a legitimate concern, especially considering our test car's base price, which hovered around $35,000 with shipping. At this price point, we've come to expect a few more luxuries.
Our Take
The 2015 Subary WRX STI isn't about luxuries. This sedan's all about the driving experience, which is where it truly delivers. Though we lodged a few complaints about the interior, the equipment and the visibility, there were no complaints about the experience of driving the STI -- and for those interested in this car, that's the main reason they'll end up signing the papers.

In the nano arena, the science has left the development of law and policy in the proverbial nanodust. As we enter the nanoage, although recent studies on the public perception of nano call for government to take an active oversight role, questions abound about whether regulations that predate nano apply to nanomaterials and how to govern novel issues related to the nascent technology.
So, just how are nanoregulation and nanopolicy taking shape? Learn more and participate in the dialogue. Attend the Center on Nanotechnology and Society's Chicago Nano Forum panel presentation:
"Brave New Nano: Regulating the Future"
Monday, January 30, 2006,

• Kristen Kulinowski, leading nanopolicy and civil society expert, and executive director for education and public policy of the Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology and the International Council on Nanotechnology at Rice University;
• Michael Bremer, business productivity and quality measurement expert, and president of The Cumberland Group—Chicago, a performance improvement consulting organization; and
• Dawn Willow, legal fellow and coordinator of the Center on Nanotechnology and Society's electronic bank of nano-related ELSI (i.e., ethical, legal and social issues) resources.
Introductory remarks will be shared by nationally recognized commentator on technology and human dignity Nigel M. de S. Cameron, associate dean and research professor of bioethics at Chicago-Kent College of Law and director of the Center on Nanotechnology and Society.
Light refreshments will be served.

MyPassport, Transcription Costs, and CDC App — Around Healthcare Scene
Katie Clark is originally from Colorado and currently lives in Utah with her husband and son. She writes primarily for Smart Phone Health Care, but contributes to several Health Care Scene blogs, including EMR Thoughts, EMR and EHR, and EMR and HIPAA. She enjoys learning about Health IT and mHealth, and finding ways to improve her own health along the way.
Hospital EHR and EMR
Hospitals Beware: EMR Copy and Paste Common
EMR Templates can be helpful, but also makes life harder as well. A recent study found that 82 percent of progress notes by residents had 20 percent or more copied and pasted material. This function is tempting for physicians who need to cut time somewhere, but its something that needs to be watched out for and prevented.
iPad App Helps Patients Understand Inpatient Care Process
In an effort to eliminate confusion that often comes during an inpatient stay, Boston Children's Hospital has developed an iPad app. The app, called MyPassport, helps patients understand more about what is going on during their stay. It displays photos of doctors and nurses, others involved in care, as well as lab results that have been condensed to patient-friendly terms.
EMR, EHR, and HIPAA
EHR Benefit — Transcription Costs Savings
This is the next part of the EHR benefits series. Many doctors were thrilled to give up their transcription for an EHR in hopes of saving costs. However, some are feeling that their EHR may not be the best solution after all. Because of this, some are wanting to implement transcription services again. So, for some, eliminating transcription may not have saved as much money as some had hoped.
Mixing Physical, Mental Health Data Lowers Readmissions
Physicians aren't often given access to the psychiatric records of patients they are treating. However, a study by Johns Hopkins found that perhaps they should be. The study showed that a signficant percentage of patients whose physicians had access to both physical and mental health data had a smaller readmission rate than those whose mental health records weren't available.
Smart Phone Healthcare
The CDC is getting into mHealth with the recent release of their mobile app. The app has many different features, such as health articles, quizzes, and a news room with information outbreaks or other pertinent information. The app is free and definitely one that should be downloaded if you enjoy hearing about health news.
Google Gets Into Activity Tracking
After the failure of Google Health, Google is making an attempt to get into the activity tracking world. "Google Now" basically turns the phone into a personal tracking device, including for fitness. It isn't as accurate as some of the more sophisticated tracking devices out there, but it is a lot easier to use because it is embedded into the phone. It may make it easier for people to

Exhibition Explores a Foundation for Chinese Contemporary Art
Li Cunsong, She Has Been Working the Long Night Shift, c. 1947. Multi-block woodcut with oil-based inks, 8 7/8 x 6 5/8 in (22.5 x 16.9 cm) Gift of Professor and Mrs. Theodore Herman Picker Art Gallery, Colgate University.
The first exhibition in the United States to present a comprehensive overview of the development of woodcut prints in China over the last 70 years will be on view at
China Institute Gallery
from September 16 through December 5, 2010. Woodcuts in Modern China, 1937-2008: Towards a Universal Pictorial Language surveys 68 woodcuts, ranging from formative early work, when artists in China first began experimenting with western-style techniques, to the work of important artists working today such as Xu Bing and Zhang Minjie. An illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
Chronologically, the first section of the exhibition Woodcuts in Modern China, 1937-2008: Towards a Universal Pictorial Language incorporates 34 works drawn from an important collection of over 200 woodcuts dating from 1937 to 1948. Donated to the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University by Theodore Herman, professor of geography emeritus, who acquired them from the artists in 1948, this collection is considered to be unparalleled in the United States. As historical documents, they offer a unique perspective on World War II and especially on the civil war between the Nationalists and the Communists (1946-1949). At the same time, the prints present the mastery of a new medium at a point when western techniques had been absorbed and transformed by Chinese artists , notes Leslie Eliet, who contributed an essay to the catalogue and has collaborated with Dr. Herman over the past 30 years. The remaining 34 works are from 11 important contemporary artists who, after reviewing the Herman collection, selected works that they felt expressed their reverence for the older masters, engaging them in a dialogue across time, as Renee Covalucci, co-curator of the exhibition, writes in the catalogue.
Willow Hai Chang, director of China Institute Gallery, states, Although woodcuts in China have a history of more than a thousand years, modern Chinese woodcuts, often inspired by political events, appeared only in the early 1930s. This unique exhibition covers nearly the entire evolution of these new woodcuts in Chinese modern and contemporary art and shows their extraordinary importance in Chinese art history.
Providing an extraordinary view of Chinas political and social turmoil during the past century, Woodcuts in Modern China, 1937-2008: Towards a Universal Pictorial Language represents a new development in Chinese art, whereby art became a form of communication used to express a broad range of emotions. The art also called attention to social and cultural inequities and led to the rise of the Chinese avant-garde. Modern woodcut artists attempted to awaken the general public to the rapidly unfolding and socially consequential events of the day, demanding of them a social engagement and action on a collective level The artists adopted a style of social realism that combined both the evocative power and persuasive force of Expressionism with a realist depiction that could represent current social realities and issues, explains Stephan J. Goldberg, associate professor of art history at Hamilton College, in his catalogue essay. He notes that woodcut prints bridged the traditional divide between the intellectual elite and larger population of urban masses. It was a revolutionary new art form for the vast majority of the urban public whose primary exposure to visual art had hitherto been commercial advertisements in the form of calendar prints.
A universal pictorial language is immediately evident in Li Huas After the Guard in Charge of Grain Has Gone (Victory), 1946 which depicts the Nationalist Armys oppression of the peasants. An elderly couple and a child react with despair as two soldiers leave their humble home with the familys grain and a goat their sole livelihood.
In 1930, China Institute sponsored the triumphant American tour of the iconic Peking Opera star Mei Lanfang. Among his many roles was the legendary Chinese woman warrior Mu Guiying, on whom the Disney heroine Mulan was based. Mu Guiying is immortalized in Song Guangxuns woodcut Peking Opera Character, Mu Guiying, 1978. An opera fan, Song Guangxun depicts her in full costume and makeup, and the bursts of bright colors seem to offer a celebration of the revival of the Opera after its hiatus during the Cultural Revolution.
In a more somber mood, Song Guangxuns Brave Chinese Women (Portrait of Lu Xun), 1974, portrays one of Chinas most important writers during the early twentieth century writing a protest article after the killing of one of his female students during the suppression of a student demonstration.
An internationally known contemporary artist, Xu Bing (b.1955) was one of the hundreds of thousands of young people who were sent into the countryside for reeducation during the Cultural Revolution (1966-76). Emerging in a post-Mao era, his work is considered to have kept the avant-garde spirit of the modern woodcut movement alive. In addition, the artist notes in an interview in the catalogue that his work is also closely related to traditional Chinese culture. Xu Bings Wooden Fish, 1977-1979, depicts one of Chinas most auspicious symbols: the words fish and abundance both have the same sound (yu) in Chinese.

My baby turns 1 toward the end of December and I can't properly express how much I'm looking forward to pump weaning, or at least drastically reducing. Keeping up with pumping is a huge source of stress for me both at work and at home.
I want to keep nursing mornings, nights, and weekends until he's at least two. My ideal would be no pumping, but a session during lunch wouldn't be the end of the world.
I understand how to reduce pumping in a way that is healthy and comfortable to me. If he was home with me and I was weaning I'm confident I could navigate us through it intuitively.
I am baffled how to navigate him through it through someone else! What sort of instructions do I give? Do I start reducing/changing what I send?
Are there things I can start doing now to help prepare so it goes more smoothly/quickly? Right now after I leave for work he has a light breakfast with Daddy, and one meal of solids at the sitters before I pick him up.
If things with solids start really picking up which they show signs of doing, would it be bad to reduce the bottles now at a little past 10 months? He would still be nursing at least 4 times a day during the week.

Police, community and calendar briefs for Dec. 21, 2013.
Memorial today for victim of house fire
A memorial service for Roberta "Robin" Seymour, a retired educator from the College of Central Florida who died earlier this week in a house fire, will be at 11 a.m. today at First United Methodist Church of Ocala, 1126 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Ocala, with interment at Forest Lawn Cemetery.
Officials: Man in crash died of heart condition
A man whose vehicle crashed into a wooden utility pole on Tuesday morning died from a medical condition, and the accident was not a contributing factor to his death, according to Ocala police.
Jared Sieg, an Ocala Police Department traffic homicide investigator, said the Medical Examiner's Office determined heart problems killed Emilio Diaz-Velazquez, 82.
The passenger in the car, 77-year-old Maria Cruz-Rivera, had told officers Diaz-Velazquez was experiencing chest pains while driving. Cruz-Rivera was not injured.
The crash happened in the 2800 block of Northeast Jacksonville Road.
2nd suspect in store robberies is arrested
Marion County sheriff's detectives have arrested a second suspect in connection with a store robbery.
Zachary Travis Jackson was arrested at 2:17 a.m. Friday and booked into the Marion County Jail on a charge of robbery with a firearm. Bail for the 23-year-old Silver Springs Shores man was set at $50,000.
Jackson declined an interview request from the Star-Banner.
Jackson told detectives he entered the Quick King at 1350 SE County Road 484 on Dec. 13 with another man with plans to rob the store, according to a report.
He said the other man pointed a pellet gun at two people during the robbery.
On Wednesday, authorities charged Keith Ray Howell with robbery with a firearm in connection with the Quick King case. Deputies found Howell's state-issued ID not far from the store.
Both men are suspected in several other store robberies that have taken place since late October.
Brothers out of hospital following crash on I-75
Two Ocala brothers involved in a serious crash on Interstate 75 in Alachua County over the weekend have been released from the hospital.
Raymond Wade, 64, and his brother, 66-year-old Dallas Wade, have been released from UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville following Sunday's crash at Mile Marker 389, according to a hospital official.
At the time of the accident, the brothers were taken to Shands in serious condition.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said Dallas Wade was driving a 2001 Ford F-150 south in the left lane when, for an unknown reason, he lost control of the pickup, causing it to spin clockwise. The vehicle ran off the road and into the median.
The truck then overturned several times before stopping on the passenger's side, facing north in the median.
Both men were wearing their seat belts. Damage to the vehicle were estimated at $7,500. Alcohol was not suspected in the 12:45 p.m. crash.
Woman hurt in Nov. 26 crash dies of injuries
A 91-year-old woman hospitalized last month following a crash on Southeast Maricamp Road has died.
Marian McAulay died at Kindred Hospital in Ocala from her injuries, according to the Ocala Police Department.
Officers said McAulay was transferred from Ocala Regional Medical Center to Kindred three or four days after the Nov. 26 accident.
Kindred — which is on the Munroe Regional Medical Center campus but is not affiliated with MRMC — is a transitional care hospital that provides specialized long-term acute care for medically complex patients requiring continued care and extended recovery time, according to its website.
The crash occurred in the 3500 block of Southeast Maricamp Road. Attempting to cross Maricamp, McAulay drove her car into the path of a another vehicle, according to police. Two people in the other car received non-life-threatening injuries.
All were wearing seat belts, according to OPD, and speed was not a factor in the accident.
McAulay's death is the seventh traffic fatality for Ocala in 2013. Last year, there were 11 traffic-related deaths in the city.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Akeem Shavers broke open a close game with three scores during a 4½-minute span in the fourth quarter, giving Purdue a 56-35 victory over archrival Indiana on Saturday.
Robert Marve threw for a career-high 348 yards and four touchdowns in his final home game - a win that made the Boilermakers (6-6, 3-5 Big Ten) bowl eligible for the second straight year, the first time that has happened since 2006-07. By retaining the Old Oaken Bucket, coach Danny Hope also can make a stronger case to keep his job.
Indiana (4-8, 2-6) has now lost nine of the last 11 in this series.
The difference Saturday was Shavers. He capped a 99-yard drive with a 73-yard reception to make it 42-35 with 10:31 left in the game, scored again on a 26-yard reception with 7:55 left and put the game away with a 1-yard plunge with 6:14 to play.

'Tis the season for jewel tones and this San Francisco celebration will have you welcoming vibrant hues with open arms. Crafted with a industrial meets art deco vibe at the hands of A Savvy Event and Shotgun Floral Studio, this day brings beauty and a whole bunch of personality to the Terra Gallery. From moroccan rugs lining the aisle to bridesmaids dazzling in sparkling gowns, get lost in the beauty of Sylvie Gil's photographs.
From the Photographer… Vi & Sean's San Francisco wedding was truly an art deco masterpiece. The couple decided to get married in the city where they met and live, incorporating lots of personal touches into the design and flow of their special day. This included playing "The Final Countdown" by Europe at the beginning of the ceremony (it was playing when they went to pick up their marriage licenses) and lining the aisle with Moroccan rugs (the two got engaged while in Morocco on holiday). The ceremony was held at the Terra Gallery, a trendy art gallery in the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco. Gold geometric accents, including a custom monogrammed, laser-cut cake topper carried the art deco theme throughout the night. Traces of a modernized 1920s aesthetic were present in the bridesmaids gown, Vi's birdcage veil, reception bar, and the metallic lettering and graphics on their invitation suite, menus, and welcome sign. Rose gold utensils and jewel-toned glassware and florals on reclaimed rustic, dark wood tables made for a bright and inviting reception.

Square Table Top
by Henry E. Dudeney
A cabinetmaker has already fitted seven pieces
into the 6x6 square table top as shown above. Unfortunately, the final
one shown at left can no be fitted in because of the shape variance.
Can you help the cabinetmaker to rearrange the pieces in order to form
the complete 6x6 square table top?
To move a piece, drag and drop it. To rotate a piece, click it. To

It's been available on iOS for quite some time, and now Square Enix has decided to spread its wings and release Final Fantasy III for the Android ecosystem. The only (and major) issue is that it's not available for everyone just yet. In fact the Final Fantasy classic can only be played by Japanese Android device owners.
You may have played the old school Nintendo version, like me. This game will not resemble the classic game very much. It has been enhanced with better graphics and 3D effects. It will look very different from what you remember. But it is fun, and the faces are more recognizable. (I like seeing my characters).
It seems we'll have to continue using emulators to play this game. At least for a while. But it sure would be nice to have a native version available. And as of now, we have no idea when (or if) this game will be hitting other countries. But we sure hope Square Enix can give us the treat.
If you're a Squaresoft fan, you may also like to know that Final Fantasy (1) and Chrono Trigger classics are also available. Once again, only for the Japanese market. We'll just have to wait our turn. Check out the iOS trailer and let us know what you think. How many of you want to see these games coming to the US (or any other country)? I'm still waiting for a native Android version of Final Fantasy VII!

Big, bold florals mixed with stripes. Pencil skirts paired with pullovers. Yes, Jenna Lyons is at it again. In her signature style, Jenna put together bright and beautiful pieces for J.Crew's spring '13 collection, and it's no surprise that we want to wear everything – stat!
While the colorful creations may appeal to a younger customer who is willing to style them with a printed baseball cap, other looks, like a throw-on jean jacket over silk trousers, felt eternally cool. Looking at the collection, we couldn't help but think that all the models, who chatted amongst themselves, must be the most popular girls in school.

Private maths tutors that come to you
Maths doesn't have to be hard. The right support and the right approach change all that. Just ask any student who is doing well in maths - they usually love the feeling of "getting it". This is what we aim to create for students - intellectual independence and joy of learning. It's the only path to success in maths whether your goal is to pass or achieve A's. We focus on the content but also on teaching the right approach to learning maths. Probably the most common mistake students make is rule dependence, trying to memorize what to do without understanding why it's done that way - it doesn't work. But each student has their own issues, some with confidence others with silly mistakes or exam technique ...
... A well matched maths tutor will make a world of difference. Check out our 2 maths tutors in Woy Woy Bay, NSW. The tutor comes to your home at the agreed time, so no need to worry about who is driving whom where and when. We make it easy. There are no booking fees, cancellation costs or minimum requirements. Just pay for what you use based on a simple hourly rate.
Contact us @ 1300 312 354 OR simply fill in the form below and we'll reach out. We guarantee your first lesson with a trial - so if you're not happy you don't pay for it.

With the recent news that Capcom underperformed and has ended up cancelling numerous in-development titles, many have begun to wonder about the fate of the once-loved company. As Capcom tries to right their ship before it gets worse, the Daily Reaction crew of Seb and Dan discuss what they can do to get themselves out of the position they have put themselves in.
It's definitely a slippery slope. I hate how little Japanese identify shines through Capcom's games anymore. Way too main stream.

H.R. 1224, the Portfolio Risk Reduction ActPosted by on April 13, 2011
The legislation, introduced by Financial Services Committee Vice Chairman Jeb Hensarling, accelerates and formalizes the reduction in the size of the GSEs' portfolios.

The legislation would cap the GSEs portfolios to no more than $700 billion in the first year, declining to $600 billion for year two, $475 billion for year three, $350 billion for year four, and finally to $250 billion in year five.

A Vanity in the Bathroom
The more I dream of having a larger home, the more I think about bathrooms I've admired in the past. One redeeming quality about my tiny studio apartment is that there is a small "dressing room" area with a closet and vanity. This is a common feature in most studios built in the 1920's and I love it.
More so, I'd love to carry this tradition and idea into a full dressing table in a larger bathroom, when I have the actual space.
I love the idea of having an official table and chair to sit and do your morning routine. A place that is dedicated to those few moments of skincare, hair and makeup. I've found these four amazing bathrooms all that show off different styles of vanities.
Do you use a vanity regularly? Would you include one in a bathroom remodel plan?

Why Fathers Are Worth Remembering -- Even If You Don't Have One
- Bonnie Gray The Faith Barista
- 2011 15 Jun
Is Father's Day worth remembering when you don't have a daddy?
Since my daddy left when I was five, I've never really had a hard time with Father's Day.
I described it to my friends this way whenever they asked if it was sad growing up without one:
I don't feel anything. It's probably like being born without a limb. You can't miss what you've never had.
Now that I'm not a kid any more, I don't have to lie.
It was sad -- because I can never know what it's like to have a daddy.
A Little Too Strong
I don't recall the exact question I asked my mom, but I remember her words like it was yesterday.
My mother told me to cope this way: "Just think of yourself as being born without a dad. Some fathers die when babies are born and they grow up just fine."
I know she meant well. She didn't want me to stumble. It did make me stronger--a little too strong, maybe. I never felt the pain of a missing father. I felt nothing.
I made a detour around the place inside me that wanted a father. I didn't think I needed to be vulnerable, held, or carried. To feel this way was a sign of weakness and limitation.
This changed when I became an adult.
Living by faith didn't grant me immunity to heartbreak and disappointment. For the first time, I wished I had a father.
A Beautiful Possession
Being loved by a daddy is like having the sun kiss your nose while you're eating sweet strawberries and running through sprinklers with laughter.
You don't need it, but it can change your world.
A father worth remembering makes the pang of missing someone a beautiful possession.
Since coming into my own, I've learned that having arms to crawl into, shoulders to ride on, and a soft place to land are birthrights Jesus paid for me to own.
To feel loved by a father is a sign of belonging and blessing.
It's what everyone truly wants, no matter how old we get.
A person can die lonely in pursuit of a father's love.
Not us. When we embrace God as our Father, we are finally free to discover who we really are.
Celebrate The Day
If you're like me, without a daddy:
1. Still celebrate.
As we read cards meant for others, read them the way I do at the card store. Read them quietly in your heart to our Father God. You may feel an ache, but imagine the tenderness on our Heavenly Father's face.
2. Take steps to experience God as Father.
As I looked anew for God as Father in the Bible, a polite paternal relationship as a follower of Jesus grew into an intimate belonging with my real Heavenly Daddy.
First, dare to believe: My Heavenly Father loves me the same way He loves Jesus.
"I have made Your name known to them … so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them…" Jesus speaking to Father God. John 17:26
Second, confide your deepest longings: My Heavenly Father takes a loving, personal interest in me.
"… I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; for the Father Himself loves you…"Jesus. John 16:26-27
Third, be honest: My Heavenly Father can handle my feelings, especially when I'm most troubled.
"Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will." Jesus. Mark 15:36
Fourth, pray to God addressing Him as "Dad," "Daddy," or "Papa." My Heavenly Father has adopted me as His very own.
"For you have not received a spirit of slavery … but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons [daughters] by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" Romans 8:15
3. Send words of appreciation to a friend who is a daddy. Don't forget your spouse.
If you're a single mother and your child's father isn't here:
1. Reflect Father God's love to your child.
Take your young child on a fun outing on Father's Day weekend, celebrating Father God's presence in your family.
Ask how your child is feeling about Father's Day. Give him freedom to share difficult emotions. Comfort him with your understanding, having confidence that God can heal all hurt directly as Father to your child.
Send a card to your older child with an encouraging note and Scripture. Sign it, "Love, your Heavenly Daddy."
2. Allow God to love you as His child.
Parenting draws out our greatest vulnerabilities. Confide in God as Father, who is intimately near.
"Praise be to God ... Father of compassion … who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." 1 Cor. 1:3,4
If you're blessed enough to have a father to call daddy:
I'm so very happy for you. Look into his eyes as you hand him a gift or card, and say his name.
Here, Daddy. This is for you.
For all fathers reading this:
Love harder, even if it costs you everything you have.
You are making a difference, the kind that lasts into eternity.You can never lose who you are. You will find yourself in the hearts of the children you love, along with the Father who lovingly carries you all the way until you are home.
I'd like to close by sharing a promise I've come to cherish. It takes my breath away every time I read it -- because I know it's true.
"Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he,
I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you."
(Isaiah 46:4)
