Moving forward, I knew that I never wanted to walk into a 9-5 job again. I was confident that I wanted to do something creative. I knew I needed a job that had flexible hours so that I could work around my husband's erratic work schedule and hopefully stay home with my littles one day. I knew that I wanted to do something that I was passionate about and that was centered around uplifting people and helping them. Right after we moved, God began stirring in my heart to start blogging again. I started to grow crazy passionate about it. From the people I met, to the writing, to the creative process behind it-- I was smitten. I started a personal goal that each new follower became a new person I prayed for. Followers became friends. It changed me.
I poured my heart out to God for weeks and weeks that He would point me in the direction He wanted me to go down next in my career. And I secretly prayed that God would give me a job in the blog world. I didn't know how that would happen, but I just prayed.
I remember exactly where I was when I first clicked on Casey's blog. The first post I read of hers was the announcement that her and Chris were expecting Addison. I fell in love with Casey. From the get go, she was my kind of girl: sweet, sensitive, and real. So raw, genuine and vulnerable that I felt like I had known her all my life. I fell in love with her family. I felt like they were almost like family to me. It was during a trip to the dentist, when I was waiting for my name to be called, that I was looking at Casey's blog via my phone and saw Addison's first sonogram picture. It was the most beautiful thing ever to see a family you've grown to love share that picture with the world. I was invited into their home for that moment. The day that I found out that Addison had passed away was also the day that one of my best friends lost her baby, as well. I know that God put Casey into my life for many, many reasons, but one of the biggest has been to know how to help my friend go through her loss.
After the heartbreaking loss of Addison, my heart started beating hard and fast for Casey. God put her on my heart like crazy. Whether I felt the sense of urgency to pray for her, or to comment on her page, or to just be still and think of her, she was on my mind. Meanwhile, on my own personal journey in asking God where He wanted me and what path I should go down next, I kept thinking of Casey. I dreamt of her one night. I began to think of how busy she must be, of how overwhelmed and flooded she must be by emails, demands, people, and life. God began stirring something in my heart and I felt a peace about it. I finally understood what my previous experience was for. Up until that point I questioned why I went through it and what the point of it was. Little did I know that it was simply preparation for what God had in store for me next.
Today, Casey and I are now working together. I am so honored that she would consider taking me on as her very first assistant. I have never in my whole life had more of a peace about a job or about a situation that I do right now. The girl who has always questioned if she was indeed where God wanted her is no longer wondering, questioning and pleading with God for those answers. I held off in telling anyone about this until recently, because my fear of man trickled in. I didn't want blog friends to think that I was simply seeking after self-promotion by trying to get a job with Casey or in it for myself. I can honestly say, and I think Casey can too, that this is all just a "God thing." I felt the need to obey His calling in my life, and the doors opened right when they were supposed to. I am so excited and blessed to work with sweet Casey.
So friends, God really does answer prayers! And I believe-- even after years of feeling like God had abandoned me in the job department (even though I knew He hadn't)-- that He longs to answer the desires of your heart. Your hearts' desire is important to Him. I am so blessed to be a part of all of the amazing things that God is doing in Casey's life. I think she is an amazing example of how faith, vulnerability, hard work, and trust in God really do take you places. So thank you, Casey, for being the most incredible person and such a fabulous person to work for! You have touched me, and so many others. It's so amazing to be living out my dream with you.

In conjunction with the current standards prescribed by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCCS) and the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the Marianapolis Preparatory School History & Social Studies Department has developed a curriculum based on the premise that history and humankind are shaped by the past. Therefore, the examination of this past is paramount in preparing students for the future. Furthermore, study in the social sciences is critical to understanding the institutions and functioning of human society. In both its totality and its particular courses, the History & Social Studies Department seeks to contribute to the broadening, deepening and enriching of students' education by exposing the students to historical perspectives of time, space, continuity and change. The Department, through its sequence of non-Western Civilization, Western Civilization, U.S. History and A.P. offerings, covers all aspects of history from the beginning of time to the present. The Department in all courses attempts to cultivate strengths vital to students in order for them to be successful at the college level and to become well-informed world citizens.
At Marianapolis, students develop a core of understanding and analysis, learn how to analyze their own and others' opinions and participate in civic and community life as active, informed citizens. Students are encouraged to develop a capacity for independent critical analysis, skill in oral and written communication and an ability to understand and solve complex problems. Students will become familiar with the essay examination, the use and interpretation of maps, the lecture method of presenting historical material, extensive note-taking from both printed material and lectures and the writing of research papers. Geography is a critical component of each discipline as well. Skill in reading, writing and speaking is rigorously promoted throughout the program. Elective courses prepare students for college studies as well as Advanced Placement Examinations.

41 year old man | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking women 30-45 within 25 miles
True happiness is found within.
Do you like a 14ers and chocolate? Well I'm a pastry chef who loves to hike! Not just 14ers though, those things are a commitment (not that I have commitment issues, but often easy hikes are perfect). I'm up for anything that gets me out into the beautiful Colorado sunshine. Why live in this amazing place if you don't want to be out reveling in it right? Of course, time out in town enjoying good food, art walk, science lounge, theater, well those are equally priceless experiences. Overall I'm definitely a "manly man" but in an unconventional kind of way. Yes, I prefer a glass of wine and some interesting artwork over beer and sports. But I also lived in a cabin in the mountains for several years. I have spent a good chunk of my life chopping firewood, plowing snow, caring for goats and cattle and throwing hay bales. But now I live in the city so I might as well embrace everything that has to offer right? I grew up on a hippy farm in southwest Colorado. My primary spiritual influence growing up was the sweat lodge my parents built on the farm. I spent many summers going to Southern Ute Bear Dance and we had a Ute family that invited us to join them in their family camp at the annual sun dance. We raised goats, chickens, sheep and the occasional pig. We had a huge garden that I would go wander through and "graze" on raw vegetables. It was a unique childhood that I am very grateful for. Obviously, I enjoy being active. But for me, being active can mean reading a good book just as much as going for a hike. It's just as important to keep our minds active as it is to keep our bodies active. I'm looking for someone that I have some common interests with, but also someone that I can introduce to new experiences and who can do the same for me. I am passionate, introspective and hold a high level of reverence for personal growth and informal education. The traits that I value the most, both in myself and in the company I keep, are kindness, respect, gratitude, creativity, a sense of humor and an open mind. I greatly enjoy my work but strive to live a balanced life. Work, play, adventure and relaxation are equally important to me. I would like to meet someone who also is balanced, is open to sharing new experiences and enjoys the great outdoors. I like who I am and where I am in my life. Living up to others expectations or standards has no place in my world. I live a simple life so that I can have fun experiences. To me, "stuff" is baggage, experiences are priceless. I'm pretty down to Earth and independent, but enjoy sharing my time and experiences with the right person. The "single life" has never really come naturally to me so I decided to try this out as a way to meet new people. I'm happy to make the first move, but a woman with the confidence to take that step can be VERY sexy.

Washington Getting Gold Chrome Lids?
Being a Pac-12 football program these days requires one to keep up with Oregon — both in the wins column and in the style department. From the looks of it, Washington might be the latest conference rival to throw down in response to the Ducks' ever-changing wardrobe.
UW student Tyson Losness tweeted out the following on Monday night.
@UniWatch Washington Huskies' gold (really gold) helmet, matte black in the back pic.twitter.com/b8tfwHfO7f
— Tyson Losness (@TysonLosness) July 2, 2013
We really, really hope that this helmet is legit and not a prototype. Combining the Huskies' purple and gold on a chrome lid looks absolutely stunning. The manner in which it's being displayed is akin to the reverence Indiana Jones showed for the golden idol in the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
As an added bonus, Losness also reminded us of Washington's potential new matte black helmets, which were first leaked back in January.
In the style department, these dogs have the bite to match their bark.

Wood-fired pizza might not be quite as familiar around the campsite as smores, but maybe we are going to change that. We received a couple of fun photos from a Forno Bravo community member today, and looking a little more closely, you can see that this appears to be a public campground. What a great idea.
This is a Pompeii oven build, and I can visualize more publicly accessible wood-fired ovens going up across the country — in parks, community centers, churches, campgrounds, community farms, etc. It's like a barn raising, except in the end you get to eat some great pizza.
One last thought. In Italy there is an extensive network of Agriturismo's, which are typically farms that rent out spare rooms to vacationers. The system has been very successful, in that is has almost single handedly kept a large number of small, family-owned farms in business (some people even give the system credit for saving the Tuscan countryside), and it gives us travelers an up-close and personal view into Italian country life. We have stayed in quite a few Agriturismo's over the years, and many of them have wood-fired pizza ovens where they cook for you, and some even let you use the oven on your own.
We need more of this!

Ground broken on MetroRapid stops along Nebraska Avenue - next year those buses will get traffic light priority
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Hillsborough County officials broke ground today on what will soon be the countyâs version of bus rapid transit. MetroRapid will run along Nebraska Avenue from the USF area to downtown Tampa quicker than other bus lines. Hillsborough County Commissioner Sandra Murman hopes the route will be a boost for ridership when it is completed next year.
âWe are taking a very big step with bus rapid transit to really get it moving forward and really send the message that riding the bus is a really cool thing to do.â
A GPS device called Transit Signal Priority makes MetroRapid buses different from others owned and operated by the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority, or HART. It sends a signal to approaching light that changes the signal to green. Beginning at Fletcher Avenue, the route runs 17 and a half miles to the Marion Transit Center in downtown. Murman, who is also on the HART board of directors, said the connection along Nebraska Avenue was a good place to start.
âItâs going to be connecting two huge employment centers and thatâs really what matters to Hillsborough County â itâs economic development, itâs jobs, getting people to work.â
When the concept for MetroRapid was first batted around, officials considered offering wireless hotspots at stations or even WiFi in the buses. Those plans have been scrapped because a study showed the demand didnât warrant the cost. But according to HART, stations will be built with infrastructure to eventually add signs showing when the next bus might arrive. Hillsborough County devoted more than $30 million to HART to complete the project after voters rejected a tax to fund it. But HART CEO Philip Hale said after some re-evaluation, the county will likely get 7 or 8 million of that back.
âTo be blunt, I went in and we hired a new CFO just recently, about six months ago, we set down, we went through a detailed analysis, we started scrubbing it and we realized that by tweaking some of the things that weâre doing, we could probably get this done and save the county some money.â
The county could use the refund to help pay for the next phase of the project â another MetroRapid route that would run along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. That decision hasnât been made yet. Hale said the East/West line is still a ways off.
âWeâre doing thirty percent design now. Weâd have to demonstrate that we have funding to complete the project â speaking with Commissioner Murman today, our intent is to probably try to submit a needs assessment for the East/West to see if we can carry it to the next step. Until we get the needs assessment done and the ridership numbers finalized, right now itâs basically a study.â
But the ground breaking ceremony was held at the intersection of Nebraska and MLK because HART chair Fran Davin said, someday, it will be a huge public transit hub.
âThis intersection will be the connection point to make East/West and North/South â and the East/West is the second phase â work together to provide an integrated system.â
The station being built on the southeast corner of that intersection sits on an easement that belongs to Walgreen's. HART is using whatâs called eminent domain to take over the land to build the station. It will be complete with restrooms, shelter and ticket sales. But transit authority CEO Hale said theyâre trying not to take over private land when possible.
âAs we were selecting our stations and locations â we are trying to develop it in such a way that we donât have to utilize eminent domain as least as we possibly can. There are a couple of occasions we might have to, but weâre working very hard with the land owners to make sure that we donât have a negative impact on their property, at the same time meet the demands of the transit system and make it successful.â
Essie Sims Junior is chair of the East Tampa partnership. Heâs been an integral part of making MetroRapid a reality. Sims said all he really did was make sure the community had the ability to tell officials what they needed in public transportation.
âWeâve invited the HART employees and directors to come out and give us input as to what was going to be happening in our community in the near future. So, Iâve been facilitating meetings where the HART representatives have been out and have been really informative as to giving our community information as to what they see coming down the road.â
Sims said the project will improve aesthetics along the Nebraska Avenue corridor which he hopes will have a positive trickle effect on communities.
âSecond, it will get our residents to work a little bit faster. For those that may travel north on this particular corridor, the bus service itself will be able to get people to jobs faster and also cause people to be able to be employed hopefully.â
Both HART and Hillsborough County officials praised Sims for his work on the project. But Sims said the work isnât over yet.
âI have a ad hoc committee from our partnership that I instructed about several months ago to kind of follow along with this process as itâs going through the different phases and that way weâre continuing to report back to our community. And also, Iâll be a hands on individual as well.â
The route wonât have a dedicated lane which differentiates it from the narrowest definition of Bus Rapid Transit. Regardless, the Transit Signal Priority technology paired with fewer bus stops will make the commute along the Nebraska corridor 10-15 percent shorter. Park and ride lots will be built at both ends of the north/south route and bike racks available at all other stops along the corridor.

Madagascar tree diversity among the highest worldwideJeremy Hance
December 12, 2011
Bare hills: aerial view of deforestation and soil erosion in Madagascar. Photo by: Rhett A. Butler.
In all researchers counted 244 tree and shrub species in 49 different families over a hundred different plots spanning a total of 0.79 hectares. This is among the highest worldwide. In fact, only a similar study in Yanomamo, Peru found more species: 292 over one hectare. But Malagasy diversity bested similar studies of lowland rainforests in Malaysia, Indonesia, Columbia, Cameroon, and Papua New Guinea (see graph below).
Not only is Madagascar's rainforest highly-diverse, but it is also unique compared to the world's other rainforests.
"The eastern lowland rainforests of Madagascar have also been noted for their unique richness of palm (Arecaceae), pandan (Pandanaceae), bamboo (Graminaceae) and tree-fern species (Cyatheaceae)," the authors write. Euphorbiaceae, or the Spurge family, was the most dominant tree in the forest.
"With levels of biodiversity that are among the highest worldwide, the island is in many ways on the verge of ecological collapse," the authors write. The rainforests of Madagascar are almost entirely gone: only 10 percent of the island's primary forests still survive.
Fueled by poverty, overpopulation, poor governance, and slash-and-burn agriculture most of Madagascar's forests are either gone or highly imperiled. A recent logging crisis even lead to illegal logging across many of Madagascar's protected areas. Forest loss in the country not only threatens the island's unique species, but also worsens living conditions for the Malagasy people, who now face drastic erosion, soil degradation, overexploitation of resources, and alien species.
"Given the rapid rate at which the lowland rainforests in particular are being fragmented and consumed, it is projected that there will be no primary forest left outside of protected reserves by the year 2020," the authors write. "However, this may become a reality sooner as the anthropogenic pressure on the flora and fauna as well as on the resources that sustain them has been been on the rise due to lack of conservation enforcement since the government coup in early 2009."
Some experts have warned that Madagascar could become the next Haiti in terms of deforestation and wholesale ecological collapse, worsening the lives of the country's mostly poor resident and destroying some of the world's richest habitats.

Critically Endangered lemurs disperse seeds, store carbon
(11/13/2011) Many tropical plants depend on other species to carry their progeny far-and-wide. Scientists are just beginning to unravel this phenomenon, known as seed dispersal, which is instrumental in supporting the diversity and richness of tropical forests. Researchers have identified a number of animal seed dispersers including birds, rodents, monkeys, elephants, and even fish. Now a new study in the Journal of Tropical Ecology adds another seed disperser to that list: the Critically Endangered black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata). Capable of dispersing big tree species, the black-and-white ruffed lemur may even play a big role in carbon sequestration.

Posted Things I Will Remember... to Psych 1001 Section 010 and 011 Fall 2011
Out of the 16 chapters in this one psychology book, how am I ever going to be able to choose just one topic to pick? It was very hard to narrow down what I would remember, because during this course, I am sure to take on to the future, a lot of handy material. In 5 years, I will definitely remember the one and only Sigmund Freud. I don't know about any of you guys, but this dude is crazy! I find him to be an old perverted man. His findings about the stages of child development were a little creepy to me. Sex sex sex. That is all that this guy ever talked about. Psycho Psychologist? We'll never know. Ok. So I had to rant about that for 5 seconds. An actual topic that had me really interested was classical conditioning, punishment and reinforcement. As a teenager, I was a nanny for a couple summers. This had me thinking about how to keep kids in line. With punishments and reinforcers, this actually pertains to real life situations in dealing with children, and having good parenting skills. In 5 years, many of us will probably be in this situation of having to raise kids. If you still understand these concepts in 5 years, I'm sure you'll make a great parent. One other topic that I will most likely remember is that Nature vs. Nurture debate. This is such a huge topic in psychology. This was visited almost every single chapter. And actually I looked up a bunch of different studies just because I found this topic very entertaining to hear all the different sides of the argument. What a great debate. But this can relate to every day situations. Why does that person act that way? Is their aggression gene related, or does that come from other outside sources? What about alcohol abuse? Did they grow up with seeing their own parents abuse alcohol, or is it gene related? The possibilities are endless! And the curiosity will forever remain for me....
Posted The Memory of a Goldfish. The Memory of a Goldfish. The Memory of a Goldfish. to Psych 1001 Section 010 and 011 Fall 2011
j Ok, so as cheesy and random as that is, every time I think of long term and short term memory loss, I just can't help but think of "Amnesia" by Chumbawumba. This song is sure to bring back memories from my childhood. I'm sure the majority of us have seen the movie "Finding Nemo". Do you recall Dory having short term memory loss? This was a reoccurring plot during the movie, that made the journey to find Nemo, even more difficult. Here is a clip of Dory's memory loss. I can recall hearing the urban legend that goldfish have a memory span of 3 seconds. Is this really a fact? Do they not have short term memory, but long term, or vice versa? Scientists at Plymouth University have successfully trained the fish to collect food at particular times of day, showing the popular notion of the three-second memory to be very fishy indeed. The findings of this study is just adding to the growing evidence that gold fish are more intelligent than have been assumed. The research, led by Phil Gee of Plymouth University, had goldfish placed in a bowl. They were only fed if they pressed a level. The fish learned quickly that pressing the level would give them a food reward. Once they had been trained in this way, the researchers set up the lever to work for just one hour a day. The fish soon became wise to this, and learnt to press the lever at the same time every day to feed. "The fish worked out that if they hit the lever around that time, they would get some food," Dr Gee said. "Their activity around the lever increased enormously just before the set hour when their food was dispensed. "But then if no food came out, they stopped pressing the lever when the hour was up. It shows that they are probably able to adapt to changes in their circumstances, like any other small animals and birds." Another study was put on by Mythbusters to test if goldfish were able to do a maze.

During one of my favorite shows, Criminal Minds, one of the FBI agents, Spencer, tries to remember a crime taking place during his childhood. He has reoccurring dreams about this murder that he may or may not have encountered when he was a young child. To try and get him to remember these vivid dreams, he goes to a hypnotist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-XGNbo-uYA Hypnosis is a set of techniques that provides people with suggestions for alterations in their perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. So in other words, a person is put under a sleep like sort of state, and this ensures that the mind is relaxed and will respond to commands that the hypnotist says to do. When I first saw this episode of criminal minds, I wanted to know if it was actually possible to recover memories. If that was possible, then why aren't criminal investigators able to do it more often? Mythbusters did an episode to find out if this actually can happen in real life. Below is a link from a scholarly journal from 1983 that investigates whether or not hypnotics is able to enhance the memory of witnesses. http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/bul/94/3/387.pdf "Despite the publication of a large number of case studies in which hypnosis has apparently been invaluable in the solving of a crime, experimental attempts to demonstrate improved memory under hypnosis have thus far not been successful. It has been suggested that the failure of laboratory studies to demonstrate hypnotic memory enhancement may result from the absence of certain essential features present in the crime situation, such as meaningful, dynamic stimulus materials, high emotional arousal, and the realization that a human life may depend on what is recalled. Furthermore, the study of stimulus events in the crime situation is rarely done intentionally, as it is in the laboratory. However, several recent laboratory studies that have attempted to include these very characteristics nonetheless persist in failing to demonstrate hypnotic memory enhancement. One exception worth pursuing is the suggestion of improved recall under hypnosis for incidentally learned materials. What these studies do demonstrate quite clearly, however, is that when witnesses are interrogated under hypnosis they are more suggestible, showing a greater tendency to agree with the interrogator. Because of this problem, and an apparent trend for the courts to reject the testimony of witnesses who have undergone hypnosis, a search for nonhypnotic procedures of memory enhancement appears warranted. Three factors that may be responsible for the improved memory under hypnosis reported in so many anecdotes were suggested: (a) encouraging witnesses to lower their criterion level during memory retrieval; (b) contextual reinstatement via a guided memory procedure; and (c) repeated testing sessions that allow for the occurrence of experimental hypermnesia. If witnesses to a crime may be helped to remember the details of the crime through the application of these procedures without hypnosis, the benefits of memory enhancement could be achieved without the problematic effects of bias inherent in hypnosis. Future research to investigate these factors is required." Woah. So the studies...
Posted Twins Separated at Birth to Psych 1001 Section 010 and 011 Fall 2011
One important concept from Psychology 1001 text is the study of Nature vs. Nurture. Gregor Medel was the first to suggest heredity. By studying a series of pea plants and how they carried different characteristics through generation to generation. Now we understand that chromosomes are responsible for carrying out this process. Genes are accountable for telling how tall one will be, your hair color, eye color, and personality types; or are they? The age-old question nature vs. nurture comes into play while talking about genetics and heritability, meaning what is one able to inherit from your genes? Nature vs. nurture seeks to find out this question using family studies, twin studies, and adoption studies. Scientists use these three measures to track the presences or absences among certain trait in different relatives. Family studies measure what traits are passed along in families. Twin studies are the easiest to determine because of some sets of twins being dizygotic. Since these sets of twins are identical in genes, one is able to figure out whether genes are passed on through genes, or simply by environmental factors. Adoption studies examine how many traits are passed on using environmental factors. If the adopted child still contains personality genes from their parents and not from their new environments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yTCShemS_0 This is an important concept to me because it makes me wonder if the way I act is actually genetic or just in part due to whom I have grown up and lived with all my life. Being away at college it makes me wonder if I will adapt to my new environment and change who I am just because I am not around the same people anymore. Correlation vs. Causation: Does A really cause B? With these twins separated at birth, is the reason they have similar interests in many things due to the fact that they have the same genes or simply just a coincidence?...

Summit addresses 'promise,' challenges of aging population
By Sheetal Babu, special to the Henrico Citizen 06/07/11
Members of the Older Dominion Partnership gathered last month in Henrico to educate Virginians about the importance of creating awareness and working together to conquer the difficulties of aging, at the Age Wave Summit II Conference.
The head committee arrived at the all-day conference May 19, held at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Virginia in Henrico, equipped with words of motivation to tackle "the promise, not the problem, of aging."
As its motto says, the Older Dominion Partnership (ODP) exists to help the quickly aging citizens of Virginia who might be facing shortages in affordable senior housing, professional healthcare, care management and home care.
The partnership is a nonprofit program started by businesses and foundations to raise Virginia's state of aging preparedness. Since Virginia's 65-and-older population is predicted to double to 1.8 million by 2030, the partnership is providing an independent program to help the elderly ride the age wave. Its goal is to offer people assured security and to let Virginia lead the nation into a new period of safe aging.
The first speaker, Richmond Times-Dispatch Publisher Thomas Silvestri, was quick to talk about the problems that Virginia faces. The public's aging population might want to take care of the aging issues, but it is not ready, he said. Not only did Silvestri discuss the problem with financial support, but he also highlighted the fact that the public's desire for action fell short.
"There is no urgency," Silvestri said. "That has to change…awareness is the first step, but Virginia needs our kick to get there.
"It's important to spend time in the community rather than in conference rooms. Virginia has all the history to lead the new age wave, but the federal government isn't ready."
Once everyone is on board, he believes that Virginia will master the age wave. Silvestri got the audience keyed up for the upcoming afternoon by chanting, "I don't want to be mad as hell, I want to avoid a disaster."
Expectations discussed
As a member of the Virginia House of Delegates since 2001, in addition to being a practicing physician, Virginia Delegate John O'Bannon (R-73rd District) holds a unique perspective on the age wave topic.
During his "Boomers Meet Medicare – What Now?" address at the summit, O'Bannon talked specifically about the expectations of boomers and the role of Medicare in their lives.
"Technology is lengthening people's lives," O'Bannon said. "Medical breakthroughs will come to make people healthy, but there will always be health problems. Medicare needs to change to accommodate the agers." The boomers might expect to stay alive longer and continue to do what they want; however there are still concerns about the burden of chronic illness to deal with.
"Americans do what they want first and then they worry about consequences later," O'Bannon said.
Three testimonials discussed why the ODP mattered to the community.
"This room symbolizes the long bench. Right now, it's not as deep," said Virginia Association of Area Agencies on Aging (V4A) representative Courtney Tierney. She emphasized the importance of working together and utilizing ODP's resources for everyone's benefit.
"Individually, we can't scratch the surface, but together with data, we can do it." The V4A strives to provide resources and policies that will help the elderly lead meaningful lives.
Jeanne McCusker from Home Instead Senior Care in Charlottesville underscored similar points.
"This is a global issue like the energy crisis, financial crisis and the environmental crisis," McCusker said. "To change the face of aging, we need companionship instead of isolation."
The 2011 Age Ready Indicators Survey conducted by the ODP gives the public an idea of whether or not seniors and boomers feel they are ready to face the age wave. The 5,000 respondents were contacted by mail, phone or online. Some of the responses were obtained through 30-minute interviews. In total, 164 questions were asked.
When questioned about their quality of life, 75 percent of seniors and 70 percent of boomers answered that their lives were very good or excellent whereas. Out of all the respondents, 61 percent of seniors and 48 percent of boomers felt that they were personally well prepared to navigate the challenges of aging. On the other hand, fewer thought that their community was prepared. Only 32 percent of seniors and 16 percent of boomers agreed that their communities were well prepared.
According to the survey, 29 percent of seniors and 40 percent of boomers felt either often or sometimes lonely. Comparing 1980 and 2011, frequent loneliness decreased slightly.
In the workforce, a very low percentage felt that they had ever been discriminated against because of age. A high percentage of both seniors and boomers received no public assistance and stated that they did not need it.
About four in ten of those aged 65-and-older have a chronic illness. Nearly half of the seniors and boomers who participated in the survey had visited a doctor due to injury or illness within the past two years.
After collecting the survey results, the ODP plans to work on the problem areas in order to improve the standard of aging in Virginia.
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.

Saving our skins might be surprisingly cheap. To avoid dangerous climate change, the world needs to boost spending on green energy by $1 trillion a year. That sounds scarily large, but we could cover a lot of it using the subsidies currently handed to fossil fuels.
Governments have agreed to limit global warming to 2°C, because more than that may be impossible to adapt to. "We need to drastically transform our energy system," says David McCollum of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Laxenburg, Austria. "It is high time we thought about how much capital is needed."
McCollum's team plugged that gap by analysing six different models that combine data on greenhouse gas emissions, energy scenarios and investment costs.
The numbers work like this. Investment in low-carbon energy is currently $200 billion a year. But that isn't enough. For a 70 per cent chance of keeping below 2°C, the investment will have to rise to $1.2 trillion a year.
Move the subsidies
Spending is set to rise as energy demand increases and governments meet their existing climate commitments. The world is probably already committed to doubling green energy investment to $400 billion a year by 2050, says McCollum. But even with that, we still need to find another $800 billion a year.
That sounds like a lot to make up. But global investment in energy is already $1 trillion a year and rising, says McCollum. The problem is that much of that investment goes to fossil fuels. According to the International Energy Agency, government subsidies for fossil fuels are around $500 billion a year – six times more than subsidies for renewables.
"The magnitude of the clean-energy investment challenge is roughly similar to today's fossil-fuel subsidies," says McCollum. So if we used the subsidies for coal, oil and natural gas to invest in solar, wind and nuclear energy, global warming would be close to being solved.
It is "a very good analysis", says Niklas Höhne of Ecofys, a think tank in Utrecht, the Netherlands. He says the $1.2 trillion bill looks like good value for money. Besides, "investments have a return, so they may not represent a burden at all. They can be quite profitable. The burden is really an opportunity."
What is inescapable is that time is short, because most energy infrastructure has a lifetime of 30 to 60 years. "Unless the [clean energy investment] gap is filled rather quickly, the 2°C target could potentially become out of reach," says McCollum.

'America's Got Talent': Tim Poe 'deserves to be publicly humiliated,' says Howie MandelAdd to Favorites | America's Got Talent
"America's Got Talent" judge Howie Mandel is as outraged as anyone that Tim Poe, wildly exaggerated his military service and outright lied about being a hero.
"On so many levels it is so irritating," Mandel tells Zap2it. "The truth is, especially at this time in our lives, in this country, I am so thankful for anybody, in any service, for whatever they are doing, and wherever they are stationed. And when he showed up with this story that he never sang before and the stuttering was part of a brain injury, he captured the hearts and minds and ears of all of America. It certainly helped him in this competition.
"Beyond this competition it is so wrong to do," Mandel continues, on a tear. "It is just an out and out lie. I feel violated. Other service people feel violated. He used someone else's picture. That man is angry and he should be angry."
When Poe walked on stage in Monday night's episode of the NBC talent show, he appeared hesitant, shy and stuttered. He explained that he had served in the military for 14 years and was wounded in Afghanistan. Since, reports have surfaced that the photo he showed, supposedly of him at war, was not him. News reports have said Poe did indeed serve, but for nine years, not 14, and that he was never deployed in Afghanistan.
As a tentative Poe talked to the judges, when he started singing a country ballad, he transformed and sang flawlessly. His story and his talent won over the audience and the judges.
By now, however, at least one judge is furious.
"Last week he was publicly praised and honored," Mandel says. "Now he is publicly humiliated and he deserves to be publicly humiliated."
His lies aside, Poe does have a beautiful voice and croons in a slow country drawl. That, says Mandel, is what he should be judged on.
"We should not be judging at all on a back story," he says. "Whatever the judges do will be based on the talent and whatever he does in Vegas."
Mandel received early warnings about Poe.
A consummate social media participant, Mandel always live tweets during broadcasts.
"I like to watch how people are reacting to things," Mandel says. "It is better than watching with your best friend on the couch so people are just flooding in tweets."
And as Poe was performing, the tweets started popping up, warning him: "Check this website. This person is lying!' And you think it is the odd person."
But among those tweets were some from other veterans saying, "I was in his unit."
Mandel knew these had the ring of truth.
"In the immediacy of the social networking I was getting this little bit of chatter and it was so juxtaposed to the initial responses people were having," Mandel says.

Oh? He specifically mentions Exchange. If he doesn't have an Exchange Server he should be connecting via ActiveSync or RPC over HTTP. Either way SMTP wouldn't be used and wouldn't be a problem.
yeah youre right.for some reason i completely misread exchange as outlook. not enough coffee but yeah,some isps do block connections to remote smtp servers from software like outlook. but my bad,servers are mostly a big no no like you said with isps
Posted 07 August 2013 - 02:51
Is your port 25 unencrypted? Why would anyone want to send email through an unencrypted port 25 connection anyway?
There's a reason Gmail's SMTP only uses ports 587 (TLS) and/or port 465 (SSL). Port 25 is way too old school & unsecured thus is generally blocked by default. If you really want to pursue setting that up, at least do it correctly & lock it down with TLS/SSL.
Posted 07 August 2013 - 13:03
Congratulations your mail client has an encrypted path to the mail server but did you know that the mail servers still talk to each other on port 25? So that means even though you encrypted your leg it eventually is put on an unencrypted leg.
He doesn't need to be concerned about how servers do or do not talk to each other. All he needs to be concerned about is getting his email to his SMTP server, and I haven't seen anything in this thread that says he can't do that.
I wish all ISPs blocked port 25 personally - there's no need to use it, and if someone get's a virus from going to a random porn site, I'd prefer their machine wasn't able to help contribute to the massive amounts of email spam that you get.

He wants to be able to send out from his smtp server on his site that is on the ATT Uverse network.
Before when I was on comcast, I had no issues sending/receiving from Exchange to gmail, yahoo, etc. The moment I swapped the line, I could only receive, but not send. I did some research and saw that it looks like AT&T Uverse blocks SMTP traffic, so I called up AT&T and first got the Philippines, which was no help, then I got someone in India, who didn't even know what Exchange was. They claim they don't block any ports (except neither could tell me what port SMTP ran on), yet when I try doing some basic tests, I get failures."
He has to be concerned with how servers talk to each other because how I am reading this, he has an Exchange Server (which is a mail server) on premise that is connected to the ATT network to transmit mail messages. The only way around this is to relay messages, as budman stated, to a source that can relay messages. A mail relay probably won't use a default communications port to accept the incoming messages to get around the port 25 block.
Another solution would be to upgrade to business class with static addressing, they shouldn't block anything on business class with a static address block.

I work for an ISP and we won't unblock it. Hardware we currently have in place doesn't allow one off exceptions. We do however allow normal SMTP traffic on 587 as the OP mentioned, not just SMTPS. From my understanding of ISP's I've personally delt with, this is common practice in Canada if you are not using the ISP's SMTP servers.

I spent two hours trying to explain to an 8 year, level 1 tech at AT&T that they were blocking the IP to my website. I could access it from any other connection that that was not AT&T. I finally gave up as it appears they hire inadequate high level techs that just don't have a clue.
I finally contacted my hosting site and they changed my IP and in about an hour I had a connection on the AT&T network.

level 1 is basically help desk, the higher the number the more knowledgeable they are. level 1 is just about the equivelant as talking to a wall that is about to crumble on top of you, of which you are trying to explain why not to cruble on top of you in hopes that it will understand your reasoning not to crush you...its a falling wall, it doesn't have ears, but it will crush you.
Posted 07 August 2013 - 20:03
Changing port to another port does you no good if other servers don't know to send it to you on another port. That's what standards are for.
You can listen on any port you want but if my server is sending on 25 to your 25 and gets no answer it will fail.
There are obviously workarounds as mentioned by BudMan but honestly it's prolly easier/cheaper to get a static IP which then allows you to open whatever port you need.

But there is no air condition in the room and only two charge in the room for 6 people. it's quite inconvenient and hot at the summer time. otherwise, there is no kitchen you can use, but you can ask the staff to warm the micro-wave food, so that's fine I think..Not that far away from the city and since it is located at the river side, it has a best night view from the hostel to the river side, only take 1-2 minutes on foot.

I just got back from the vet. Roxie has been limping on her right hind leg. I figured it was some kind of a sprain. She wasn't responding to just medication. X-rays showed a tumor up in the hip joint. It is bone cancer.
Cyrano lasted 6 months from diagnosis to when we had to put him down. Roxanne is a bit of a princess. I suspect she will not make it as long. Kipling was right:
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
But when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your hearts to a dog to tear.
Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie -
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk you heart for a dog to tear.
When the fourteen years that nature permits,
Are closing in asthma, or tumor, or fits,
And the Vet's unspoken prescription runs
to lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find - it's your own affair
But - you've given your heart to a dog to tear.
We've sorrow enough in the natural way
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent
At compound interest of cent per cent,
For when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short time loan is as bad as a long -
So why in Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?
When the body that lived at your single will,
When the whimper of welcome is stilled
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone - wherever it goes - for good,
You soon discover how much you care,
And give your heart to a NEW dog to tear.

Love That They are Made in USA
At 5/2 135 lbs, I'm between a size 8 and 10, so based on another review, I ordered one size down. The 8 fits perfect. I have worn them in the ocean surfing and they stay on great. Would definitely order another pair if they had them in other colors.
Size: Feels true to size
Too Small
Was expecting this swim bottom to cover my waist but it was too low-rise for me. So I returned it.

Size: Feels too small
Good Basic Highster Bottom
I generally wear a 12. This bottom fit, but was a bit on the large size. I imagine it will stretch to be too large. Afraid the 10 would be too small, so keeping it.

WASHINGTON— Supreme Court justices appeared troubled Monday over whether to stop deals between pharmaceutical corporations and their generic drug competitors that the government says could keep cheaper forms of medicine from American consumers for longer periods of time.
Justices heard arguments from the Justice Department against what the government calls "pay-for-delay" deals or "reverse settlements."
Such deals arise when generic companies file a challenge at the Food and Drug Administration to the patents that give brand-name drugs a 20-year monopoly. The generic drugmakers aim to prove the patent is flawed or otherwise invalid, so they can launch a generic version well before the patent ends.
Brand-name drugmakers then usually sue the generic companies, which sets up what could be years of expensive litigation. When the two sides aren't certain who will win, they often reach a compromise deal that allows the generic company to sell its cheaper copycat drug in a few years — but years before the drug's patent would expire. Often, that settlement comes with a sizable payment from the brand-name company to the generic drugmaker.
Drugmakers say the settlements protect their interests but also benefit consumers by bringing inexpensive copycat medicines to market years earlier than they would arrive in any case generic drugmakers took to trial and lost. But federal officials counter that such deals add billions to the drug bills of American patients and taxpayers
A study by RBC Capital Markets Corp. of 371 cases during 2000-09 found brand-name companies won 89 at trial compared to 82 won by generic drugmakers. Another 175 ended in settlement deals, and 25 were dropped.
The Obama administration, backed by consumer groups and the American Medical Association, wants the court to stop the deals because it says they profit the drug companies but harm consumers.
What if a brand-name drug company is making $100 million, and a generic drug company says its product will reduce that to $10 million, so both companies agree that the brand name company would give the generic company $25 million to stay off the market, asked Justice Elena Kagan. "It's clear what's going on here is that they're splitting monopoly profits, and the person who's going to be injured are all the consumers out there," Kagan said.
But Justice Sonia Sotomayor said it may be going too far to make these deals illegal on their face, instead of making the government prove they are anticompetitive in court in each case. "It would seem to me that you have to bear the burden of proving that the payment for services or the value given was too high," she told Stewart.

Though several members of the Academic Integrity Committee acknowledged that the proposed honor code and student-faculty board has a smaller jurisdiction than it could, they suggest that this represents the appropriate level of reform for the time being.
Terah E. Lyons '14, a student member of the committee and one of several to draft the language of the proposal, said that the committee has generally discussed creating a board that would hear more than academic integrity cases but decided against it. "I think it's going to take some time to get to that point, if we ever do," Lyons said.
She said the Academic Integrity Committee decided to restrict the honor board's jurisdiction to academic integrity infractions primarily because involving student voice in that adjudication process is already a "huge change" for Harvard, considering how long the Ad Board has been an institution. Changes to the process will have to happen "incrementally" for them to work, she said.
Dean of Undergraduate Education Jay M. Harris, who chairs the Academic Integrity Committee, wrote in an email that he agreed with the sentiment that such changes must be incremental to be effective, adding that stealing and lying—at least to a University officer—is already "strictly forbidden" in the Harvard College Handbook for Students. "We are simply not choosing to change the way we engage with those matters at this time," Harris wrote.
Lyons added that sensitivity is an issue when considering the process for hearing sexual assault cases.
Mayopoulos said he understands the desire to address academic integrity issues first and perhaps expand the program later. Still, he called academic integrity "not the most important integrity we deal with at this school."
"I understand there are restraints," Mayopoulos said, "but having an honor code and an honor board that deals with more than just academics would be preferable."
Michael C. Ranen, the freshman resident dean for Ivy Yard who sits on the Academic Integrity Committee, recognized that the committee's proposal lacks the requirement to report of some of its peers, but suggested that the proposal was written with the goal of gaining the support of the entire community. He added that the honor code is a "living document."
"I think this honor code should be and will be reviewed, and I think in a few years tweaks may be made," Ranen said.

The fantastic army of volunteers produced during the Olympics, the LOCOG Gamesmakers and Mayor's London Ambassadors, have been widely mentioned as one of the best potential legacies of the Games. So we were interested in a meeting that happened yesterday at City Hall when Veronica Wadley, the new Senior Advisor for Team London, Volunteering, Charities and Sponsorship, answered questions on just that.
She's definitely keen on deploying Team London members during large sporting events and at tourist hotspots (when? All the time? Don't know). But we didn't find much out else, to be honest. Wadley's responses tended to be very curt (when Darren Johnson asked her to elaborate on contact she'd had with voluntary organisations during her career, she replied with "I have answered your question", a phrase that got several outings). In fact, her closed way of answering questions united John Biggs and Tony Arbour in cross-party frustration.
Perhaps the main issue facing the pink and purple clad army is whether to channel them into local volunteering or keep them for London-wide promotion. Wadley agreed that boroughs should be able to access LOCOG information about Gamesmakers. But she also agreed with Andrew Boff when he read out a letter from a London Ambassador, saying that many of them already volunteer locally but leapt at the chance to do something for the entire city. If you were one of this summer's volunteers, let us know your feelings in the comments.
On a different note, if the name Veronica Wadley rings a bell it's because she's the former editor of the Evening Standard – you know, the one who presided over the paper during the period it later felt the need to apologise for. She was also the centre of controversy when Boris intervened to appoint her to Arts Council London, a post she still holds. The Labour Assembly Members clearly haven't forgiven her for the Standard's many attacks on Ken Livingstone, starting the meeting questioning whether the articles about Ken's cronyism aren't now incredibly hypocritical given her most recent professional appointments relied on Boris. She'd better get something concrete out soon or they'll be ruthless.
