How many Alexandrians will vote next week? In some ways, our citizens have a greater reason to vote than many others. It is true that many people here are federal employees; and thus economically affected. But I was thinking about a philosophical reason, not bread-and-butter needs. Did you know that Alexandrians have been disenfranchised 13 times from voting in presidential elections? There have been 52 elections, and Alexandrians missed 25 percent of these. This fascinating fact was brought to light by Michael Miller's 1984 election analysis for Alexandria's entire history, which can be found at the Alexandria Library, Lloyd House.
We did not vote for president in the eleven elections spanning from 1804 to 1844, since the town was part of the District of Columbia. Alexandrians watched eight men-Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, and James Polk- assume the presidency without a right to vote. This disenfranchisement was one of several factors leading to the citizens' demand for retrocession to Virginia in 1847.
Unfortunately, the city's return to Virginia resulted in Alexandrians' loss of the presidential vote after the Civil War. Virginia was not readmitted to the United States until 1870, and our citizens could not participate in the election of 1864 (Abraham Lincoln) and 1868 (Ulysses S. Grant).
Even during their disenfranchisement, Alexandrians enthusiastically supported their candidates. Large parades, bonfires, illuminations, music and food created a festive mood. The town's spirit for elections began with the very first vote for president in 1789. Of course, Alexandrians supported their hero and neighbor, George Washington. He even came to Alexandria to vote in this election. Once again, the town's electorate voted in favor of Washington's reelection in 1792.
Far more discord occurred in Alexandria in the next election of 1796--200 hundred years ago. Christopher Blanchard's analysis "Republican Voices in a Federalist Town" published in the Fireside Sentinel in 1995 outlines the controversy. As Chris points out, this election was the first to be waged through political parties. Unlike today, the candidates Thomas Jefferson and John Adams did not actually campaign for themselves. But their supporters' statements appear in the local newspaper, Columbian Mirror and Alexandria Gazette. Republicans supporting Jefferson wrote scathing accounts against Adams and the local candidates attempting to label them monarchists, rich and well-born; the Federalists called Republicans anarchists and atheists. The Republicans won in the district, but Alexandrians voted 185 to 171 in favor of the local Federalist. You will note, that the total number of voters in town was 356. The number is indicative of another form of disenfranchisement based upon race, gender and property. Only white males owning property had the right to vote. Two hundred years later in 1996 far more of us are able to vote; will we exercise this right that was denied to so many over the years?

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsHow To Engine
2011 Ford Mustang 3.7L V6 Engine
Lighter, Smaller, And Far More Powerful Than The Old 4.0L, The New 3.7L V-6 Moves The 2011 Mustang Strongly Into The 21st Century.
The new valvetrain uses what Ford calls a megacap, a front cam bearing cap on each bank that manages oil flow to the variable cam-timing sprockets and down through the four hollow camshafts to the other cam journals and the rest of the valvetrain, a brilliant solution.
Under those two Nylon 6 noise-abating cam covers, the valvetrain uses very highly polished, mirror-finish, direct-acting bucket tappets between the camshafts and the valve tips, each one computer-selected for fit and clearance, a move that takes a tremendous amount of friction out of the valvetrain and accounts for almost a one percent fuel economy improvement all by itself. Using direct-acting bucket tappets instead of roller finger followers or single-overhead cams, like some other Ford engines, saved 30 mm in overall engine height, an important consideration for cars with low hoodlines.
Each hardened tappet has a very slight crown in the surface, about 15 microns from side to side, to work better against the surface and metallurgy of the drilled-out hollow camshaft's lobes.
Inside, the new engine uses piston-cooling oil jets mounted in the die-cast aluminum block that allows a higher compression ratio and a greater amount of spark advance for power production. With check valves in place, the cooling jets work only when the engine is hot and highly stressed. And, speaking of oil, you won't have to reach for the left-front-mounted oil filter or drain the sump of the die-cast deep-sump aluminum oil pan of its 5W-20 oil for 10,000 miles, a 33-percent improvement over the usual 7,500-mile interval. This is an advantage brought about by continuous analysis of driving cycles (Ford says almost all of its engines will be 10,000-milers by 2012).
The whole front-end accessory drive or FEAD has been redone in the conversion from east-west installation to north-south, so the engine now uses what Ford calls a stretchy FEAD, with no idlers or tensioners to rob power from the engine, for the air conditioning compressor, and a second belt and tensioner to drive all of the other pumps. The cooling system has been completely re-engineered to put the thermostat and water pump at the front of the engine, and the coolant fluid flow has likewise been re-engineered with a minimum of exterior plumbing.
Ford also worked outside the engine to make the package a better fit for the Mustang. The powertrain ECU has been upgraded with a very aggressive deceleration cylinder shutoff for fuel economy, coupled with very rapid tip-in for street performance. On the flip side, the ECU has been reprogrammed with adaptive-knock spark control. If the two knock sensors embedded in the cylinder block don't hear knocking, the ECU will keep advancing the spark until it does.
What this means in performance terms is that, if the owner uses premium or race gas on weekends, the engine should make considerably more power and torque than the numbers quoted here, which are the product of standard SAE dynamometer laboratory testing procedures and not real-world driving.
The new engine will be packaged together with either a six-speed MT-82 manual transmission with needle bearings on all of its shafts for friction reduction, or with a 6R-80 wide-ratio automatic transmission that will allow 7,000-rpm upshifts and torque converter lockup in Third through Sixth gears for improved fuel economy. Every 2011 V-6 Mustang will be sold with electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) for further fuel efficiencies, and Ford promises that the steering will be of a far sportier nature than other EPAS systems.
What's the next step? Well, give it a couple of years, and you will likely see an EcoBoost engine coming along, a twin-turbocharged, direct-injection version of this engine as a viable performance alternative to the current 4.6-liter V-8 engine.
The Wrapper It Comes In:
2011 Mustang Updates
The 2011 Mustang, while not all-new, will carry a host of improvements, upgrades, and updates inside and out. Outside it will have new blind-spot mirrors, 4-percent better aero performance around the nose, with a new underbody shield and wheel spats, and standard dual exhausts regardless of engine choice.
Underneath that shiny sheetmetal there will be chassis improvements, including stiffer suspension arms and bushings, larger front and rear stabilizer bars, rear wheelhouse liners for noise control, lower-rolling-resistance tires, the same brakes as the 2010 GT on the V-6 versions, a new Z-brace to reduce cowl shake, a standard strut-tower brace on all models, and electric power steering on all models for improved mileage and less drag on the engine.
Inside, there will be new rear headrests, more in-dash sound insulation, the addition of the MyKey option and new instrument panel graphics, and lighted visors with a new flexible storage system for sunglasses and other items. A new instant-start system requires one quick flip of the ignition key. Options will include a Pony package, a Mustang Club of America (MCA) package, and a Performance package consisting of GT suspension, upgraded brakes, 19-inch wheels and summer tires, and a looser yaw-control calibration.

Finally, at long last, I have accomplished my goal.
The job opportunity I spoke about in my last post was offered to me in late July. Everything has been official for a couple of weeks now, and I just finished up my first week at my new job.
As I had mentioned previously, I was a little worried about the salary, but I was able to negotiate a small increase in pay for myself over my previous job, which was just what I needed.
I had been offered a similar position about 4-5 years ago, but when I wanted to talk salary, they said that the salary they offered was the salary they were willing to give. There would be no negotiating. When you've reached the point I'm at in my career, and someone is telling you, "you're the guy we want running our systems," then to turn around and tell you that they think that job is worth $X when you think maybe it should be worth $Y, that set off an alarm for me, that maybe that job wasn't the one I wanted. So I waited. and it has finally happened for me.
I'm in an organization that's about 25% of the size of my previous one. While that may seem like a good thing starting out, it also means you have a lot less personnel to handle issues, and a lot of them ultimately end up falling on the person in charge. In this case, that would be me.
But honestly, y'all...I'm so happy to be there. I know it's going to be a lot more work, but at least now I feel like I'm a part of something, and that my input is valued again. I haven't felt that way for a couple of years, so I'm happy to take it on.
Juice also got a new job right around the same time I did, so we've managed to flip our whole lives upside down this summer. Her job is in the same place as her old one, just doing something new (with more pay - yay!), so it's going to be a bit of a struggle as we both adjust to new schedules and responsibilities, which also means that Peanut and Peach have some adjusting to do.
I just can't wait until my folks get here in the fall to help us out with some of this craziness.
So, celebrate with me, dear reader. Pop open a cold one and toast with me.
To new beginnings...

Champions are made while no one is watching.
13 miles, 19 minutes in, 11 miles 16 minutes home now. When I was in THE City, it was between 1:50 and 2:20 depending on the weather. 2 trains, a subway and 20 minute walk. It could chop 15 minutes off by taking another subway and did in bad weather and winter, otherwise I'd hoof it for the exercise and save the additional1.50 each way. Total Cost $1.00 to park the car at the train station, 2 trains were 13.50 Round trip, subway in and out another $3.00 - 17.50 per day and I have even eaten yet. Add to that the NYC commuter tax which is levied on NJ working in NYC---10% of your gross and the 5% New York State Income tax.

Super 32 Challenge - October 26-27, 2013
"Good things happen when you wrestle for a full seven minutes." -- Jayson Ness, post-finals press conference
I've worked out of my house for the last 4+ years, and recently accepted a new job that requires me to drive ~30 miles to the office at least 3 days a week. Commuting sucks balls....
I travel about 13. 1 mile to the interstate and then 11 to the exit and a mile exactly to work.

PROSPECTS for quake-prone San Francisco don't get better. New data from the US Geological Survey show that an earthquake anywhere on the San Francisco peninsula, even 100 kilometres south of the city, will shake it far harder than anyone predicted.
The top of Earth's mantle under much of the peninsula slopes upward to the north. At the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco, Rufus Catchings said this means that seismic waves from an earthquake south of the city will bounce off the top of the mantle as they approach San Francisco, with little loss of power.
Catchings says this will make the shaking of the city 10 times greater than it would be otherwise. "It will make a huge difference," he says.

- Keep your arm at your side and measure from your Underarm to hipbone to leg break.
- Lean sideways, find your waist. Measure the distance from the underarm to waist.
- Measure your waist to your hipbone/leg break.
To measure shoulder width:
- Clasp arms behind you while looking in the mirror. Place a straight edge from the outer shoulder corner to the edge of your hip will reveal whether your shoulders are wider than your hips.
- Look at your back, do you have a more rounded, dowager?s hump
Upper and Lower Leg measurements:
- Hip/leg break to knee
- Knee to floor
Measure the fullest part of the bustline all the way around the back.

After spending tons of money in dept. stores fancy looking, but never working stuff, this is truly something that keeps my oily face matte THROUGHOUT all day, even here, in 90% humidity FL summer. There is really nothing else on the market that can do this. And WITH the two extra bonuses of keeping your skin hydrated and spf protected. The slight tint to it is perfect in evening your skin out as you won't need foundation. A real winner, if you are smart you'll never ever discontinue this product.

Used for3 weeks & no breakout. No white cast or any brown, yellow cast that some reported due to the tint. However, I am not a fan of physical sunscreens and have switched to the Skin Balancing sunscreen. The resist is good and definitely does help mask red marks due to the tint and all, but I needed to apply a lot more than I would like in order to not make my skin look flaky and dry. Upon close inspection, you can tell my skin has some caked on sunscreen. It does blend into my skin alright tho

Best facial sunscreen ever
By Dana K
from Undisclosed
Comments about Resist Super-Light Daily Defense SPF 30 - 2 oz:
I love this stuff. I have 53 year old skin that is aging but still breakout-prone, and this is the best facial moisturizer/sunscreen I have ever used. Every time I run out of this and buy another brand, I am disappointed. This stuff is gentle, I can use it around my eyes, it doesn't cause me to break out, and leaves my skin smooth and velvety. Please keep this available and don't mess with the formula - I do not want to be without this again.

Almost Perfect
By Trinity
It applies very well, and I like that it absorbs into my skin instead of sitting on top of it like a mask, which happens to me a lot with sunscreens. Gotten a lot of compliments since I started using this. I wish it was less expensive and had retinol, like the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer I usually use, and might go back to it given how pricey this is.
LOVE this!
By Madeleine G.
I've been avoiding purchasing sunscreen (even though I knew I needed to use it) because I mistakenly thought my skin had needs that were too complicated for sunscreens to agree with. My face is oily, breakout prone, very dry, and sensitive all at once. I was nervous to try it, but this sunscreen is perfect for all my needs. It is light enough to not contribute to greasiness and is moisturizing enough to not irritate my sensitive skin. Thank you, Paula's Choice!
One of my favorites
By Dee, H
This is one of my favorite Paulas Choice products. I especially love the tint. When I wear this I get compliments on my complexion. What I love most about it is, I can reapply this as needed during the day and know my skin is protected and it looks great. This is from someone who used to hate wearing sunscreen with a passion.
By Donna P
This product made my skin turn a weird pinkish colour. It felt heavy on my skin the entire day and I couldn't wait to take it off. The colour transferred onto my clothes, as well. I am not a foundation wearer and this was more like a foundation. I was always aware of its uncomfortable, odd colored appearance. Will return this for another sunscreen in the otherwise excellent PC line....Donna

causing breakout
By VICTORIA D.
Loved it first week then my initially clear skin started breaking out all over in weird red bumps. When I thought I found my HG sunscreen, I had to stop using in fear of breaking out even more. It is very drying by itself, so I used it in conjunction with Resist clear skin hydrator which never breaks me out, so i know for a fact this is giving me red pimples. I might try to return or exchange.

Got me to wear sunscreen
By Nancy E.
I have combination skin that turns all over oily in summer. Anything I put on tends to feel uncomfortable after an hour. Makeup migrates on the oil slick that is my face. That said, I really enjoy the feel of this light-weight lotion. The tint works great with my pale pink skin tone and I actually feel good that I'm protecting myself from sun-damage. This was one of my first PC purchases and I will continue to use.
very nice
By Leontien
Hi, Last week I ordered and received a few samples of the Resist Super Light Daily wrinkle defense. I'ts a super, super product!!! However, as my skin is quite dry, I wonder if it will work out for me. I still have the Cellular Defense Daily Moisturizer but I wanted to switch to the Light Daily because this one is a bit heavy for my skin. For now, I use the light version on the T-zone only. Do you have another product which is a combination of the two?
Great texture but pinkish tint
By Anonymous
I started buying your products since the day you were accredited by leaping bunny as cruelty free. I really love your products!!! The texture of this sunscreen is great! It's the first sunscreen that stays matte on my combo skin even under makeup. Sadly I cannot wear it because of the pinkish tint. It doesn't match at all my yellow skin tone. I wish you could make a yellow version of it (a bit like coola matte tint bb cream) or at least a version without a tint. Thank you!
By Ann M.
My face feels clean and dry and normal with this on, not greasy after awhile. The tint mutes out acne hyper pigmentation spots and the colour/tint works for me - I have light olive toned skin. I'll need more hydration for the winter I think, though. I'll add in another moisturizer underneath this I think. My concealer really sticks to my face and doesn't move now. Again - wow.
So close! And yet...
By Jennifer R.
I had super high hopes for this sunscreen. Zinc oxide with no white cast and a texture that wouldn't feel like peanut butter? Huzzah! Unfortunately, although I really love the formulation and the texture, the tint is far too orange for my skin. I'm decently pale, not Snow White, and my face looked somewhere on the border between a carrot-juicing fanatic and an Oompa-Loompa. That being said, if you guys happen to make a paler version, I will stock up on this sunscreen like there's no tomorrow.

The One
By LYN
The best I've ever used. It's high in zinc oxide, but it doesn't cake on the skin between my nose & mouth. Doesn't burn my sensitive skin or my extremely sensitive eyes. The slight tint is perfectly natural. It works for my dryish skin, and the matte finish is wonderful. Shine is the enemy of "mature" skin--it highlights every flaw. So glad to find this natural-looking matte. You have to love your sunscreen--it's part of your face every day! This makes me feel like I have beautiful skin!
This is it!
By Rebecca W.
Previously I used Hydralight Shine-Free Daily Mineral Complex with SPF 30. Last summer I found it to be good at moisturizing and sun protection, but I wondered if there was another product that would be lighter weight and less likely to make me look even more pale than I already am. I tried this Resist moisturizer as a sample and man am I glad I did! It's very, very lightweight and the slight tint is perfect for me. I use a light powder over it and I'm out the door. Love, love, LOVE this product
Don't Ever Change or Discontinue this Beauty Balm
By Megan C.
I've gone through an easy dozen trying to find something suitable for my very fair, sun-sensitive, acne-prone, combination, aging skin. The majority of them have left me orange (as they oxidize thorough out the day or were just too dark to begin with), they left streaks or the product pilled, and or they required a skilled makeup artist to blend in. THIS IS THE IT product when it comes to tinted sunscreens. Please do not ever change or discontinue it. Sure offer other shades, but please keep.
By Lacey
I have pretty dry skin so I would have never thought to buy this, but a friend of mine just happened to tell me about it one day. Being a skincare guru, she referred to this as her "HG" product. Within a few days, I was trying it out for myself. I put PC's Moisture Boost day cream on first and then this on top. I LOVE it. I hate wearing make up on a daily basis so this is just what I've been looking for. This does exactly what it claims- smooths skin tone and creates a gorgeous matte finish.
Male perspective
By Justin M.
I love how this makes my face feel. It provides just enough moisture that my skin needs and it also helps even out my skin tone (I have fairly good skin after a round of accutane and PC products!). My only complaint is that this gets into my hairline when I apply and it is really hard to get out, especially in my beard/eyebrows (I understand most people buying this probably don't have a full beard!) Even with this, I will probably be buying the full size in the near future
Great, but not one-shade-fits-all
By A. S.
This is a wonderful tinted sunscreen with a great texture, except that I can't use it as generously as one should use sunscreen, because it leaves my face a shade darker. If this came in a slightly lighter shade as well, and if there was a version for slightly drier skin, it would be my one-stop product for hasty mornings and travel. Please make this! I would buy it forever.

I want to love it but.....
I received a lot of compliments when I use this product but then I started to notice the tint made my face look really white. I'm medium tone so this is still giving me a white cast as most SPF does. Also, this is starting to dry out my cheeks (I have combination skin).
Customer Service Response: Hello, and thank you for sharing your experience with us! Please contact a member of our Customer Care team, who can assist you with a possible exchange or refund.
I've gone back and forth on this SPF. After it has dried it leaves an orange color to the face which is not desirable. And the tint is not "universal" as it shows up on my very fair skin. It also feels a bit grimy on the face after it has been on a while. And I feel like I need to wash it off. Not pleasant. But I don't think it has ever broken me out. Though it may have on my jaw. Overall though I won't repurchase because of all the bad that outweighs the good.

Best sunscreen so far, but had some hiccups at the beginning
By David N.
When I started using this product, I was not used to the light texture and the tacky feeling. I even left a super bad review. However, after using this for 4 months, I really appreciate the extraordinary mattifying effect and coverage this brings. The tint is very sheer but it makes my skin looks more even, a bit like I have a foundation on. This last very long (about 3 months for me). Just a note: the product gets thicker near the end so it's not too comfortable for the last 1 week.
I love it, but...
By Susan F.
The formulation of this is absolutely divine. I would absolutely consider this my holy grail of sunscreen BUT it's just a shade too dark for my quite fair skin. PLEASE consider adding a lighter shade of this exact product. I so wish I could use this because it's the only sunscreen that does not make my skin sensitivity flare up and burn. I would love to see more suncreens with only zinc oxide as an active, it's the only thing my skin can tolerate with no problems.
nice moisturizer
By mary m.
I ordered a sample of this and I really like it so far. I like the color and the way it dries matt. I'm use to moisturizers that leave my face feeling greasy so this is a relief. I also love the fact that it fights wrinkles while also providing SPF. So far so good with this one.
Great at muting down Hyper-pigmentation
By Emilio S.
My review, from a guys perspective. I recommend that you purchase a weeks worth of samples first. (3-5 packets)Strengths:-Mutes hyper-pigmentation spots (Doesn't provide full coverage)-Sun protection-Doesn't clog pores-Mostly matte finish (slight shine in direct light, but it makes me look human)Weaknesses:-Pink tint can be too strong-Dries almost like a mask-Smell isn't the best (It's Paula's Choice, they're fragrance free! Most of their products don't smell too great)
Too Sticky
By Eui Suk J.
I love Paula's Choice. I have been using the products here since almost 4 years. However, here is one critical comment on this product, Super-light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30."SUPER"-light daily wrinkle defense is not light at all. It also says "moisturizer" + spf at the bottom of the bottle but it actually makes skin dry.One star is even too much.When I see anybody who worries about their skin, I recommend Paula's Choice. I love you, Paula's Choice, however, not this one, sorry.

like but don't love
By Allyson F.
This is certainly the best sunscreen for oily skin that I've ever tried. But, I still don't love the texture and the way it looks after a few hours under my makeup. It seems to get kind of slick and funky, unlike my nighttime moisturizer that I use on cloudy days. But it's not that bad and you gotta wear sunscreen! ;) I've just ordered the Clear ultra-light daily fluid to see if that works a bit better for me or not.

What makes this product unique?
Resist Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 is a daytime moisturizer with sunscreen designed for combination to oily skin with signs of aging.

This gentle, mineral-based formula has a sheer tint that works beautifully for all skin tones, whether worn alone or under foundation. An amazingly silky lotion texture leaves a soft matte finish that perfectly preps skin, allowing makeup to apply smoothly and evenly (no primer needed).
Pure, refined zinc oxide provides remarkable broad-spectrum protection without making skin more oily or triggering breakouts. It is perfect for sensitive skin or rosacea and great for use around the eye area. Daily sun protection is crucial for preventing wrinkles and brown spots, while still allowing skin to look fresh, even, and healthy.
This product is 100% fragrance-free.
Who is this product for?
Resist Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 is best for combination to oily skin, and also suitable for sensitive, breakout-prone, or rosacea-affected skin. Ideal for those struggling with wrinkles, brown spots, and oily skin plus breakouts.

Cooler Master's original Cosmos case was one of my favorites – alongside the Antec 900. It has great cooling, looks, it's quiet, and durable – the problem is the price. Still, if it fits in your budget, I say go for it.
Cooler Master Cosmos II: Large and in Charge
The Cooler Master Cosmos is more or less legendary among top-of-the-line enclosures. It's not hard to see why, either: it's big, it has loads of expansion, and it looks like a giant refrigerator…for your computer. That said, some time has passed since the Cosmos originally landed with very little in the way of updates. Today, Cooler Master brings us the long-awaited update, the Cosmos II. With a $349 MSRP and a shipping weight of nearly fifty pounds, this enclosure is oversized in every way. Will it retain the cachet of its predecessors, though, or have advances in the computing market since the era of the original Cosmos left the Cosmos II a shiny relic of a bygone era?

The deadliest Ebola outbreak in recorded history is affecting right now Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Nigeria. Health officials are working to calm fears about how the virus spreads, while encouraging those with symptoms to get medical care. The disease has a fatality rate of up to 90 per cent, with no known vaccine, cure.
The current outbreak
At least 1,711 people have so far been infected, of whom 932 have died. This is the most severe outbreak since Ebola was identified in humans in 1976.
The experimental drug
Called ZMapp, the treatment was developed with US military funding by a company named Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. It was created using antibodies harvested from lab animals injected with the Ebola virus. It works by boosting the immune system's efforts to fight the virus.
The super-secure isolation unit in Atlanta, US
Americans Kent Brantly, a doctor, and Nancy Writebol, a missionary, were infected in Liberia last week. Both are receiving treatment: Writebol with an experimental serum and Brantly with blood transfusions from a 14-year-old boy who survived the disease in his care, the AP reports.
The two were brought to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, near the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention main campus. The hospital has a super-secure isolation unit — one of four such units in the US.
Inside the unit, patients are sealed off from anyone who doesn't wear protective gear.
"Negative air pressure" means air flows in, but can't escape until filters scrub any germs from patients. There is a vestibule where workers suit up before entering. All gear is safely disposed of or decontaminated.
Flying in safely
# The two US citizens who contracted the disease were brought to Emory in a highly-modified ex-Royal Danish Air Force Gulfstream III.
# The 32-year-old plane was sold to US military air support provider Phoenix Air in 2005 and was modified into the most advanced air ambulance in the world.
# To fly the two patients, the plane was outfitted with a modular Aeromedical Biological Containment System — a tent-like plastic structure with negative air pressure to keep pathogens from entering the cabin.
Protective suits
The one thing that stands between caregivers and patients is Personal Protection Equipment suits (PPEs). These resemble Hazmat suits and cover every part of the body.

I drove up to the Hintil Kuu Ca childhood development center this morning (yesterday morning, technically). It's name means "Indian children's house," according to this fascinating article about the center published in 1986 in Cultural Survival Quarterly.
Hintil opened in 1973; it was started by mothers whose kids — recently relocated from reservations as part of a federal government integration program — were struggling socially and academically in Oakland schools. In the late 70s or early 80s, it moved to its current location in the Oakland hills, near Merritt College and behind Carl Munck Elementary.
But Hintil is on the list of seven childhood development centers the Oakland school district plans to close at the end of the month in response to the governor's proposed budget cuts. District spokesman Troy Flint said staff wanted to keep open centers that were more centrally located. About 90 children attend the preschool or the before- and after-school program at Hintil.
Shirley Guevara, who has taught at Hintil since 1984, says parents, teachers and Native American community members are trying to find a way to keep it open, possibly as a parent cooperative. She said it's one of the last resources available for young American Indian children. About 175 are enrolled in the Oakland school district.
"I don't understand how the school district can say, `We're closing the doors on you,'" Guevar said.
Look for a story about the center in the Trib (run date TBD).

The next lieutenant governor of Florida won't be given the chore of serving as Gov. Rick Scott's designee on the state's Defense Support Task Force.
Scott announced Monday that he had appointed state Rep. Dana Young, R-Tampa, to serve in that capacity.
"Rep. Young has a passion for protecting the military and has been a strong advocate for MacDill Air Force Base and the Tampa Bay community throughout her time in the Florida House," Scott said in a release announcing the appointment.
What Young, who couldn't be reached for comment, doesn't appear to have is any significant experience in military matters.
"She is basically going to bring the type of experience legislative personnel can bring," said David Goetsch, a Fort Walton Beach resident who served as the task force's first chairman and continues to serve as vice chairman.
Young is replacing former Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, who as a former U.S. Navy lieutenant commander was believed to be well versed on Florida's military but who often blundered in front of the task force.
Her most significant stumble occurred when she prepared a report comparing Eglin Air Force Base to California's Edwards Air Force Base. The report included several blatant inaccuracies, including one statement that the closest civilian airport to Eglin was in Destin, 23 miles away.
Actually, Northwest Florida Regional Airport is located on Eglin Air Force Base.
Goetsch said he believed Gov. Scott may have been trying to solve two problems by selecting Young: the first putting someone other than his lieutenant governor on the task force.
"I can tell you, when you are the chairman and the lieutenant governor is sitting right next to you, it's tough," he said.
Goetsch said Scott might also have been trying to put another South Florida representative on the board to replace former member state Rep. Ritch Workman, R-Melbourne.
The board, which was created with funding procured by state Senate President Don Gaetz and tasked with protecting the state's 20 military installations, is well represented by Northwest Florida residents.
Goetsch also surmised Gen. Chip Diehl, who retired out of MacDill in Tampa, "will keep her (Young) well informed."

Paper Chromatography of Pigments in Chloroplasts
To use paper chromatography to observe the pigments in a solution of chloroplast (chlorophyll) extract.
Background Information
Chloroplasts contain several pigments. In terrestrial plants, chlorophylls a and b are usually found, along with carotenes and xanthophylls. In chromatography these pigments can be separated from one another based on their differing degrees of solubility in the chromatography solvent. A pigment that is very soluble will be moved higher on the chromatography paper.
large test tube
cork with paper clip hook
strip of chromatography or filter paper
ethyl alcohol
green leaves such as carrot leaves (if available) or spinach (fresh or frozen)
clamp stand
capillary tube
Part I: Leaf Pigment Preparation
1. Obtain a leaf from the desired plant and grind it using a mortar and pestle. A few grains of sand can be added to facilitate grinding. Add 8-10 drops of ethyl alcohol to extract the pigments from the leaf.
2. Continue grinding until you have a few drops of dark green liquid. It might be necessary to add a little more alcohol.
Part II Chromatogram Preparation:
3. Obtain a strip of chromatography paper which is 1/6 of a standard strip. Cut one end of the strip to form a taper.
4. Using a PENCIL, draw a line across the paper approximately 2 cm from the tapered tip. This is your baseline.
5. Using a capillary tube, apply a small dot of the pigment extract at the center of the line. Let dry and repeat four or five times. You should have a small, very dark spot of pigment. If the spot is not dark, apply more extract.
6. Pour the required amount of acetone into a large test tube so that the top of the solvent is below your baseline. Attach the hook to the other, non-tapered end of the paper. When the cork is in place, the tip of the paper should just touch the acetone. Hold your tube very still while proceeding.
7. Without moving or shaking the tube, attach the test tube to a clamp stand.
8. Allow the chromatogram to run until the solvent almost reaches the top of the paper strip.
9. Remove the paper and use a pencil to mark a line at the highest point the solvent reached. This is your solvent front.
10. Examine the chromatogram for the presence of different bands of color. Each color band is a different pigment. Chlorophyll a appears blue-green, chlorophyll b appears yellow-green, carotene appears bright yellow, and xanthophyll appears pale yellow-green. You may not see all of these bands.
11. Label your chromatogram and save it to attach to your lab report
Discussion Questions
1 What is the value of chromatography?
2 Which pigments are present in the smallest amounts in the leaf?
3 Which pigments are present in the greatest amount?
4 Many leaves change color in the fall. Explain. (Hint:
chlorophyll a and b are easily broken down in the cooler autumn temperatures.)
5 a) What is the role of chlorophyll a? b) What are the roles of carotene and xanthophyll?

Re: 3 is the lucky number! Nole in Beijing QF vs Melzer
Nole was playing casually or a bit showily in the latter part of the match, except the last couple of games, as he knew nothing from the opponent could hurt him and the crowd enjoyed those fun points. Berlocq seemed to accept the fact without too much resistance until the game where Nole broke him third time of the set from 40-0. There was a point in the game that Berlocq wanted hawkeye review and Mo refused it saying it was too late. It was the right decision though. He clearly played the ball / challenged after Mo already called the score. (The graphic on TV showed it was on the line anyway.) But somehow he looked upset with the decision & also with Nole's eagerness not to let him win a game and started playing more seriously - no more smiles after an interesting exchange. Nole didn't catch the swing and kept making silly errors, before realizing he better be careful.

We have had this survey in the General Baby Talk and thought that we would get the general feel from the whole of the i-do forum. This started from a discussion about co sleeping on Dr Phil and then it lead to his beliefs on breastfeeding in public.
Here is the link to the General Baby Talk section for anyone interested on the discussion there:
As a breastfeeding Mum, I feed anywhere and everywhere. When I first started I would cover up but that was more because I couldn't attach Ava very well and boob was everywhere but now at 8 months of breastfeeding I don't cover up.
I live in a smallish country town and I do get quite a few stares but also smiles. We even have a few places that have 'Breastfeeding is welcome' stickers on their doors, which is great!
I don't feel like I should have to hide away from the world and if people have a problem they don't have to look.
