Tell us a little bit about yourself and your entrepreneurial journey.
Some people say that no entrepreneurial journey is a straight line and mine is certainly no exception to this idea. I started my first business in college, selling my paintings in galleries and private collectors. I loved the idea of getting paid to pursue my passions.
When I was pregnant with my second daughter, I worked in a hospital doing art therapy in the pediatric unit and was really touched by the guilt that many of the parents felt when their children were hurt in accidents or became ill. I wanted to do something to help these parents, so I collaborated with an emergency room doctor to create a video that would educate caregivers about what to do in emergency situations.
A few years later, I wrote Secrets of the Safety Goddess: A Modern Safety Guide for Busy Parents, a book that became a bestseller on Amazon.com. Along with winning awards and appearing on television came a realization that although I was passionate about child safety, it was not my life purpose.
The time spent away from my family was hard on us and I found that parents didn't want to pay top dollar for child safety information (it wasn't a priority for the majority of parents), so I decided to take a break and reassess. I took a few weeks to figure out how I could create a business that was based on my passions and would really allow me to have the lifestyle I wanted to live. After 2 months, Work Smart Mompreneurs was born.
I developed a systemized 3-month process for entrepreneurs to create a profit-driven lifestyle business based on their strengths, skills, passions and values combined with their personal and family goals so that they could create and implement an action plan to live the lifestyle of their dreams. At first, I worked with a select number of clients so that I could really focus on guiding them to achieve results (this generated a large number of referrals), which lead me to a point where I noticed some common themes.
After working with a number of private clients, I decided to create The Life Success Map and the Lifestyle Business Plan based on the information that my private clients needed most. These programs include downloadable tools for people to achieve results without the hefty price tag of private coaching.
This year, we rebranded Work Smart Mompreneurs as Work Smart Lifestyle to match the audience of men, women, moms and dads who want to learn how to create the lifestyle business they have always dreamed of. In addition to the rebranding of Work Smart Lifestyle in 2011, I co-founded Social Media Girlfriends, a social media community for women around the world to connect and support each other 24 hours a day, as they pursue their dreams.
What did you do before launching your own business?
I have my BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy and Art Therapy from Notre Dame de Namur University. I had a job as everything from a receptionist to a design assistant to a costume designer for film before I realized that I was a much better business owner than an employee.
How did you fund your business?
I originally funded my business with loans from family members, but I believe that you can start and build a business with as little as $100.
How many hours do you work a week and how much is spent is your home office?
I work about 20-30 hours a week from home. When I am writing articles, working on deadline or launching something new, I may add about 5-10 more hours.
How would you rate your success?
This is an interesting question because while I am not running a 7-figure business (yet), I have hit every goal I have ever set out to achieve. So, I feel extremely blessed to have won awards for products I have created, written bestselling books and been flown across the country to speak and appear on TV. On top of that, I have built a solid reputation and made amazing friends along the way. So, as far as success goes, I feel really good about what I have achieved so far and I can feel big things still coming.
What has been your biggest business struggle as an entrepreneur?
I think one of the biggest challenges any business faces is being profitable. When I first started my business, I had a good amount of funding, so I blew through that in a hurry. Then, I had to figure out how to operate on a lean budget and get to the point where the business was cash flow positive.
What advice would you give to a new entrepreneur?
One of the biggest secrets about generating a profit in business is to spend less than you make! Sounds intuitive, but it is amazing how many people ignore this. For new entrepreneurs, I would say that you should expect to make mistakes as you go along and these are not failures, they are growth opportunities. You have to make mistakes in order to learn. Just make sure that you are paying attention to them and don't repeat!

Short and easy but a fantastic view!
The falls are impressive. Well-marked from the road and very easy walk on the trail. More touristy than I prefer, but I guess it makes it easy for all to see.
Easy to walk. The falls were beautiful.
Love this hike
The hike is pretty short (and easy) on a nice wide gravel path. There are quite a few viewing platforms, stairs leading to all; from the top of the falls all the way to the bottom of the falls. Very nice falls and beautiful wooded area.
very cool and unique waterfall.
Nice wide gravel trail in a mature forest. Trail ends at top of the falls and you can take stairs down to the bottom for a beautiful view of the falls and rock formations.
Matt H. on Laughing Whitefish Falls
Well maintained
Nice short hike to a beautiful waterfall. Clean Privy and water pump at the start of the trail. Fairly flat, except for the stairs up and down the falls, which are 100 feet tall. Bugs are fierce, so bring good repelent.
Nice easy hike. Mostly flat with stairs at the end that take you down to the bottom of the falls. Nothing moderate about this one, very easy.

Even following the sexual harassment allegations Herman Cain has suffered over the past week, he finds himself tied for first place with Mitt Romney in the newest USA Today/Gallup poll, released today.
Cain and Romney both snag 21 percent of Republican respondents, which marks a one-point jump for Romney and a three-point gain for Cain–a significant gain, because the poll was taken from Nov. 2-6, while the allegations against Cain developed.
Following last week's trend, Newt Gingrich takes third place away from Rick Perry, with the former polling at 12 percent support and the latter at 11 percent support. Gingrich gained seven points since the last Gallup poll, taken in early October, but Perry lost four points. He's the only candidate in the top four candidates who's lost support since the last poll.
Rep. Ron Paul, R-Lake Jackson, held steadily on to the same eight percent support he had in October, but has been bumped down to fifth place due to Gingrich's surge.
We have yet to see definitively how the allegations will affect Cain, especially following the press conference one of the women held today. But the USA Today/Gallup poll seems to indicate the controversy may not be a deal-breaker for the former Godfather's Pizza CEO.
Forty-seven percent of respondents think the allegations are probably false (at least, that's what they thought prior to today's press conference), and 33 percent think they are probably true.
Even if the allegations are true, the electorate is split over how much they would matter. Fifty-three percent of respondents say they wouldn't vote for a candidate if sexual harassment allegations against him were proven true, and 42 percent say they would still consider supporting that candidate.
Cain could rise from this controversy unscathed and continue to tie with Romney or lead in polls through the primaries. But as concrete details concerning the allegations continue to come out, the public could change their minds about Cain come January.

House Call: Paul's Niagara Falls Home
Paul, a reader from Niagara Falls, New York sent us pictures of his home that shows off his collection of Mid Century furnishings: "A little history; I began collecting mid-century modern about seven years ago. Almost everything in my collection are from estate sales and antiques dealers in western New York State, primarily Buffalo and Rochester. Almost everything is vintage with the exception of a few furniture pieces and some textiles. My home is a two-flat built in 1939..."
Thanks Paul!

It's believed that 15 students have been wounded in a mass stabbing that took place today at Lone Star College Cy-Fair in Harris County near Houston, Texas, with four believed to be in critical condition. North Cypress Medical Center confirms that it received six patients.
College faculty sounded the alarm at 11:02 am, putting the 78,000 student campus on lockdown as a blade wielding assailant reportedly targeted victims throats and faces with a box-cutter in the college's Health and Science Center. Police claim they have the male suspect in custody and that reports of a second attacker were false. The only information currently being released is that he was a student at Lone Star College.
Details are still developing at this time, particularly concerning the severity of the injuries sustained in the attack. Photographers captured several students strapped to gurneys leaving in ambulances and the resulting exodus of fleeing students and teachers is documented in the above video. It's important to note that this is the same college that suffered a shooting incident just a couple of months ago on another campus, though that event was believed to have been gang-related.
Guns.com would like to extend our condolences to the families and loved ones of those affected by this deplorable act of violence.
Though tragedy is never a time to make a statement, it's hard not to feel the political dimension smack you in the nose with this story. The school was in effect a gun free zone, with a weapons policy forbidding any civilian, even those with concealed carry permits, from having a firearm on campus. With the United States (and some may argue the world) keeping its focus tight on gun control rather than on caring for and identifying the mentally ill, incidents like this prove, where there's a will, there will always be a way.

Developers Vow: Trophies Are Coming
As you all know, firmware update 2.40 is finally here, and it contains the long-awaited in-game XMB and Trophy support. However, many users are a little miffed at the idea that Trophies aren't retroactive, which means they'd have to replay any games they've already completed to nab those Trophies. Furthermore, we don't have a giant list of games coming out in the near future that will definitely support Trophies, although you can expect that all first-party games will.
However, developers are already starting to pledge their loyalty to the Trophy system, and we can expect many games, both old and new, to feature the option. It goes well beyond Super Stardust HD (the first game to allow Trophies); according to MCVUK, developers Criterion and Naughty dog have tossed their hat into the ring. They say that their biggest titles - Burnout Paradise and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, respectively - will soon get Trophies, and of course, this means future projects from these guys should also boast the support. There was a nasty rumor going around that only first-party titles would give us the Trophy option, but clearly, that isn't the case. Now that the capability is officially here, more developers are ready and willing to give PS3 users the equivalent of the Achievements for the Xbox 360 versions of next-gen games.
In addition, we can expect those same developers to start taking advantage of the in-game XMB. Obviously, as it hasn't been released until today, game makers haven't had any call to implement an in-game XMB into the development process for any given title. But all that has changed. New customization options are fun for all!

btw, i'm actually glad that the Trophies aren't retroactive. Now we've got added replay value to our libraries of games. Anyone else excited to have a good reason to revisit those fantastic titles are is it just me?

Half hour off the Harrow Road you find it, Fool's Grave. Amid an overgrown garden sits a single tombstone. Carved neatly into the weathered slab is the word "Fool," with a symbol underneath matching the signet ring you found.
Whale's Jaw is a crumbling stone monument that was once in the form of a skeletal whale. Many years have past since the construction of Whale's Jaw and these days all that can be seen in the "jaw" jutting from the earth as if it is yearning for a final glimpse of sunlight before taking a plunge into the earth.
All around The Jaw are remains of oddly formed and weathered structures. They seem to have been smoothed and tumbled by severe rain or ocean currents. Most say it is just another Wonder of The World, a mystery we will never know the answer to, but some know differently... I know differently...

Shadows move but what they are shadowing does not. Mirrors show us what others can easily see. Flames dance and twirl inviting you to dance only to scorch you when you get close. These three things hold much mystery. What if you could harness their powers? Heh...

> I have attached a patch for phrase search with respect to the cvs head. > Basically it takes a a phrase (text) and a TSVector. It checks if the > relative positions of lexeme in the phrase are same as in their > positions in TSVector. Ideally, phrase search should be implemented as new operator in tsquery, say # with optional distance. So, tsquery 'foo #2 bar' means: find all texts where 'bar' is place no far than two word from 'foo'. The complexity is about complex boolean expressions ( 'foo #1 ( bar1 & bar2 )' ) and about several languages as norwegian or german. German language has combining words, like a footboolbar - and they have several variants of splitting, so result of to_tsquery('foo # footboolbar') will be a 'foo # ( ( football & bar ) | ( foot & ball & bar ) )' where variants are connected with OR operation. Of course, phrase search should be able to use indexes. > > If the configuration for text search is "simple", then this will produce > exact phrase search. Otherwise the stopwords in a phrase will be ignored > and the words in a phrase will only be matched with the stemmed lexeme. Your solution can't be used as is, because user should use tsquery too to use an index: column @@ to_tsquery('phrase search') AND is_phrase_present('phrase search', column) First clause will be used for index scan and it will fast search a candidates. > For my application I am using this as a separate shared object.

Full calendar of events planned for African American History MonthFebruary 11, 2003
After kicking off the month with the Unity Feast and a one-man performance by award-winning actor, Darryl Van Leer, Austin Peay officials unveiled the remainder of APSUs activities to celebrate African American History Month.
February 11, 2003
After kicking off the month with the Unity Feast and a one-man performance by award-winning actor, Darryl Van Leer, Austin Peay officials unveiled the remainder of APSU's activities to celebrate African American History Month.
Throughout February, the exhibit "Let My People Go: Enslavement and Abolition" can be viewed during regular operating hours in Woodward Library. On loan from the personal collection of Dr. Nancy Dawson, director and associate professor of African American studies, the exhibit is comprised of artifacts of African enslavement and American and abolitionist papers.
There will be a panel discussion on the topic of "Reparation" at 7 p.m., Friday, Feb. 14 in the Harambee Room, Wilbur N. Daniel African American Cultural Center. Sponsored by the African American Studies Program, the discussion will offer both pro and con positions on this controversial subject.
At 1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 15 in the Harambee Room, Nana Imakus Okofo, a noted educator and Ghanian-based Afrocentric cultural specialist, will lecture on "Reparations: The African Perspective."
The video "This Far by Faith" will be shown at 4 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 16 in the Harambee Room. Sponsored by the department of communication and theatre, it reveals the richness of the African American experience by exploring the role African American religious communities and leaders have played in shaping the meaning and practice of America's democratic ideals.
Sponsored by the Office of Student Life and Leadership, "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" will be shown at 5 p.m., Monday, Feb 17 in Java City in the UC. Tyler Perry's video focuses on the notion that "we fight so hard to hold onto the things that God, Himself, is trying to tear apart." A limited number of Tyler Perry t-shirts will be given away as door prizes.
Also sponsored by the Office of Student Life and Leadership, the internationally acclaimed film "Hurricane" will be shown at 8 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 18 in Clement Auditorium. Depicting Rubin "Hurricane" Carter's life, the movie emphasizes Carter's self-determination and inner strength during his imprisonment and fight to be released from an unjust jail sentence. It also tells the stories of John Artis and others involved in this miscarriage of justice. After the movie, the audience will have an opportunity to talk with the special guest speaker, John Artis.
A second showing of "Hurricane" will be held at 2 p.m. the following day (Feb. 19) in Java City, followed by "An Evening with John Artis" at 6 p.m. in Clement Auditorium. Artis will give a motivational talk inspired by his triumph over adversity. Artis, who was arrested with Hurricane Carter in 1966 and unjustly convicted of a triple murder, was exonerated after 15 years in prison. His message is one of hope, faith and self-determination in the face of injustice.
At 7 p.m. on Feb 19, the third in a series of University-Community Forums on Black History and Culture will be held in the Harambee Room of the African American Cultural Center with sponsorship by the African American Staff, Administrators and Faculty. Framed by the topic "African American Politics and Culture," the forum features Dr. James Mock, professor of public management, and Dr. Dwonna Goldstone, assistant professor of languages and literature.
At noon Feb 20, the 30-minute documentary titled "Everyday Battle, Fannie Lou Hamer" will be shown in the Harambee Room. Created by Rex Barnett, it chronicles Hamer's role in transforming Mississippi politics and precipitating an end to segregation politics. The event is sponsored by APSU's Women's Studies Program.
At 5 p.m., Feb. 20 in Clement Auditorium, there will be a showing of Tyler Perry's video, "Madea's Family Reunion," which is centered on the main character's plea, "Y'all pray for me cause this here family is so screwed up I might have to do a 'drive-by' on the whole family."
Then at 6 p.m. that evening in the Harambee Room, the African American Students Association and the MAAPS Scholars will sponsor an "African American Trivia Bowl," a rousing competition between student groups answering questions about events in African American history.
From 9 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday, Feb. 24, a Black Inventions Exhibit will be on display in the UC lobby. Sponsored by the Office of Student Life and Leadership and titled "We Represent Dreams Fulfilled," the exhibit reveals surprising facts and highlights the accomplishments of African Americans in science, aerospace communication, health care, agriculture, transportation and engineering.
The final forum of the University-Community Forums on Black History and Cultures Series begins at 7 p.m., Monday, Feb. 24 in the Harambee Room. "African/African American Culture and Preservation" features an African heritage fashion and hair-designs show organized by the Timbuktu African American Studies Minor Association in conjunction with TLC NuWave School of Cosmetology. Dr. Nancy Dawson, associate professor of African American studies, and Dr. Jacqueline Wade, director of the W.N Daniel African American Cultural Center, will lead a discussion about the importance of cultivating and preserving African-centered traditions in the African American community.
From 9 a.m.-4 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 25, "A Firm Foundation" will be held in the Harambee Room. The program, sponsored by the Development Studies Program, is designed to honor the lives of African Americans who have lifted the human spirit through arts and religion, made lives easier through science and invention, added to human knowledge through intellectual endeavor or served as examples of courage and grace in their professional and daily lives.
Beginning at 12:30 p.m., Feb. 27 in UC 303, this month's Book Talk, which is sponsored by the Women's Studies Program, features "This Bridge Called My Back: Radical Writings by Women of Color" and "This Bridge We Call Home: Radical Visions for Transformation." Dr. Dwonna Goldstone, assistant professor of languages and literature, and Dr. Jill Eichhorn, Women's Studies Program coordinator, will lead a discussion on these books.
At 7 p.m. on Feb 27 in the UC Ballroom, the African American Student Association and the MAAPS Scholars will sponsor "Jazz Night," a grand finale to the University's celebration of African American History Month, featuring the jazz of the Charles Cooper Quartet with melodies from the early '90s to current R & B hits.
For more information about APSU's African American History Month activities, telephone Dr. Jacqueline Wade at 6274.

Mahjong isn't really a popular game in Korea. Actually it's not popular at all. People recognize the game when they hear it, or when they see the tiles, but it is very hard to find a person who actually plays unless they are Chinese or Japanese. I went to Seoul for a month this past July, and during my stay I tried to find out more about the riichi scene in Korea.
I heard that there were three places where you can play in Seoul, but I could only visit one of these which was a parlor called Jabajan (じゃばじゃん). It is a parlor, but unlike Japan you cannot play for money. In Korea gambling is forbidden in places where Korean citizens are allowed, and most of the customers at Jabajan were Koreans so there was no gambling going on. Read More

Here's an amazing statistic from Dirk Nowitzki's huge 32-point performance Tuesday in the 105-99 win comeback win over the Toronto Raptors. He made four 3-pointers in the final 1:41 of the third quarter. That's just two fewer than he had made in the first nine games of the season. Nowitzki was 6-of-23 on 3-pointers entering the game. He proceeded to nail 4-of-6 to lead the Mavs back from 24 points down.

Earth Friendly: Turn fish into fertilizer
March 24, 2011 at midnight
Updated March 23, 2011 at 10:24 p.m.
By Meridith Byrd
Some of you may know that in my other life, I am a marine biologist. So, when I came across a news article about turning lemons into lemonade, or rather dead fish into fertilizer, I could not pass it up.
Earlier this month, a marina in Redondo Beach, Calif., was the site of a massive fish die-off that was comprised mostly of sardines. An estimated 140 tons of fish were found floating at the surface and piled along the sea floor in a blanket up to 24-inches thick. Birds and sea lions were feasting on the fish as if they were at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Biologists first believed that the fish came into the King Harbor marina either because of inclement weather, or after being chased there by predators. It was later determined that the fish tissues contained high concentrations of a neurotoxin called domoic acid, the result of an algal bloom that was occurring nearby. The domoic acid caused the fish to swim erratically and concentrate in the marina. Once crowded into such a small area, there was not enough oxygen in the water to sustain all the fish, causing them to suffocate.
City officials had to come up with an idea to remove the millions of dead fish. Vacuum trucks were used to suck the fish off the sea floor while crews scooped and collected the dead fish floating at the surface. While the first plan called for the fish to be taken to the city landfill, it was ultimately decided to take the fish to an American Organics composting facility in nearby Victorville, where the fish will be composted and processed into fertilizer. Biologists will monitor the domoic acid levels as the fish decompose, though they expect it to degrade quickly during the composting process.
Any seasoned gardener can tell you that turning fish into fertilizer is nothing new. Fish meal, which can be made from the entire fish or just the bones and organs, is a slow-release fertilizer especially beneficial for leafy plants. A good source of both nitrogen and phosphorous, fish meal conditions the soil and encourages root growth.
Fish emulsion is made from the byproducts of fish meal and fish oil production. First, the oils are removed from the cooked fish and will be used in cosmetics and paints. Next, the proteins are extracted and dried for animal feed. Finally, the remaining liquid is concentrated and sold as fertilizer. Fish emulsion can result in long-lasting, vibrant flowers. While other fertilizers break down slowly in cooler months, fish emulsion breaks down at a steady rate.
What a strange, but interesting example of recycling. When life hands you lemons you are encouraged to make lemonade. When the King Harbor Marina in Redondo Beach was filled with dead fish, officials took the opportunity to make fertilizer.

Day 2 (ish) of the young Princes life and he makes his first public appearance. With substantially more dignity than I imagine I would have presented the world aged 24 hours. Day 3 – We get a name! HRH George Alexander Louis Windsor the Prince of Cambridge.
When he grows up and ends up going there for University, thats going to sound even cooler than it does already.
Prince George of Cambridge came into this world loudly. Yes, 42 guns heralded in the birth of the third in the line to the throne to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth nations. It was loud and pretty awesome.
The guns are actual World War 1 originals operated by the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery. Named such when King George VI (the young Prince's great-great-grand-father) decided in 1947 that, following the mechanisation of the last batteries of horse-drawn artillery, a troop of horse artillery should be kept to take part in the great ceremonies of state.
On this occasion 71 horses pulling 6 First World War-era 13-pounder cannons fired a 41 gun salute which enthralled the crowds no end.
Also, the band played 'popular tunes' such as the Indiana Jones Theme, Star Wars Imperial March, and a few other greats to get the crowd in the mood.
Check out the shots below.

Via @medskep on twitter:
Many scoff at the term "death panel" — Sarah Palin's morbid, if misleading description of the powers contained in U.S. government health-care legislation back in 2009. Yet there was a grain of truth in that infamous noun phrase. The fact of the matter is that all health-care systems have "death panels" of one sort or another. It's just a question of who sits on them — bureaucrats, insurers or doctors — and what label we put on their functions.

Specific Groups > Minority and Non-Traditional Law Students
Question from a dismissed law student of Western State College of Law at Argosy
<< < (4/4)
I am not impressed by AHU, I turned down an instructor's gig with them several years ago. My guess is that they cater to foreign students who do not know any better.
Uzziyah -- Thank you for the information and your help, it's really nice of you to try and help me. Also, thank you for your service to this country.
Unfortunately, as the two comments above point out, AHU might not be the best option for me. I would also suggest that you speak with the Dean again and ask about bar preparation provided by the school and the opportunities for employment post-graduation. Don't make the same mistake as I did and just enroll into a law school because it seems like it might be a good fit. I am absolutely not saying that if you attend AHU that you will not pass the Baby Bar and California Bar Exam, but as a law student you want to put yourself in the best position to succeed in already highly competitive field.
Let us know what the dean says when you with him/her.
If you go the distance learning route, you want a school that not only has a bar pass rate history but can point to actively practicing attorney grads - Concord and Taft can do that as can others.

Hello folks,
as you can guess from the title I'm doing to little damage for my gear. That's especially true for cases like Council (hc) and Megaera (hc). The problem is that I'm not really sure why, I'm starting to believe that I'm doing something fundamentally wrong.
I'd be thankful if someone could look the logs below and see what I'm doing wrong. I posted some short comment for each log, at what I was doing.
Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...chawi/advanced
Mastery gems and enchants: a relic from a full mastery build. Now I'm on haste, because of PE, which I use for some fights. Trinkets: meh, but it's the best I have.
Jin'rokh (hc): http://worldoflogs.com/reports/2psu2...e/?s=615&e=856
Pretty straight forward. I'm playing safe, staying in the alcoves while lightning storm, so nearly no damage there
Horridon (hc): http://worldoflogs.com/reports/2psu2...?s=2126&e=2793
Used Ascendance three times, with a fight length of 11 mins it could have been four times. Right now I'm using it right at the start, then at gate 3 and the last phase.
Council (nhc): http://worldoflogs.com/reports/2psu2...=12089&e=12393
It's a mess. I don't really know. Just more Chain Lightning?
Tortos (hc): http://worldoflogs.com/reports/2psu2...=12790&e=13350
I'm killing turtles and kicking them, so nearly no time to bomb the bats. Using first Ascendance on first turtles, second Ascendance on some later turtle pack and the last Ascendance on Tortos.
Megaera (hc): http://worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-w0ipx2y77zgjre37/
Not really doing noteworty damage on wyrms. They are too far apart for too long to hit them with CL, and when they are close together they're nearly dead.
Iron Qon (hc): http://worldoflogs.com/reports/qt75o...?s=7407&e=8059
Only few CLs. More AOE damage in exchange for single adds going down faster? Pretty much casted Healing Rain on cooldown in the last phase.

Your uterus will fall out!
As many a runner knows, this was what many (men) back in the day used as an excuse for why women were not allowed to run distances greater than the 800 meters. We laugh at it now and like to point to that insane thought as a symbol of how far we have come as a society. Look at those silly people from days gone by! They don't know what they are talking about! We are now so enlightened!
Here's the problem: no one actually believed that would happen.
OK, maybe somebody thought it was a possibility. But some people think we faked the moon landing, too. So you can see whether some people thought something was true is not a good proof that it was accepted as common knowledge. But the fact remains that reasons did exist in the minds of many which kept women from running (or voting or anything else for that matter) many decades ago. Virginia Slims aside, we have come a long way, baby. But there is still progress to be had.
This past summer took part in the US Mountain RacingChampionship. (FYI, if you ever get a little too uppity in your running britches, take on some of the elite in the country at the sport. You will remember why your age group trophy at the Dog n Dash 5k sits prominently on your shelf.) At this race, not counting talent, there was something distinctly different between myself in the men's race and those in the women's, and it had nothing to do with chromosomes. Here on this day, the men's course consisted of three loops of a hard mountain trail; the women's course had only two. Why the difference? According to the race website, this was done to mimic the world mountain running championships format in order to give the women the best chance to compete. I can definitely agree that something can be said for preparing for what you will race. But the time has long since passed for the distances run by women to equal those of men, up and down the board.
Now, I am not pretending to be any great champion for women's rights. I do, however, do my best to fight what I see is injustice in any form it may take. Also, when I am not a member of the class being potentially slighted, I do my best not to speak on their behalf. Sure I can extrapolate feelings, but it it is best to go to the source. In order to see what at least a sample size of women might think about this issue, it would be best to have them gathered in one place. Fortunately, I had the right group here in front of me on race day to test out my theories. So I reached out to a few competitors to ascertain the situation from their viewpoint.
Kimber Mattox, who took third place overall in the race, has had little experience in trail racing. In fact, these However, while she liked the "shorter distance just based on my running background, there is certainly no reason why the men's and women's race distances shouldn't be the same." Whether this mean to shorten the men's race or lengthen the women's, Kimber felt there was no reason to have a difference between the genders.championships were her first ever mountain race.
Nancy Hobbs, founder and executive director of All AmericanTrail Running Association, who took the women's title for 50-54 said there is some precedence for change here. "The World Long Distance Championships are equal length for men and women -- they run the same race." Furthermore, according to Hobbs, it is also extremely forward-thinking to have the men and women run in a separate races, so that they can be viewed individually by genders.
Unfortunately, getting the same distance for men and women is no new battle. There have been more than a few groups who have lobbied the World Mountain Running Association to make the changes for quite some time now. Obviously, they have been so far unsuccessful.
Even those who were not directly competing, but who have a stake in the world of racing, fell in line with the idea that change needed to be made. Renee Metivier Baillie, the former track star who has two marathons under her belt (including a 2:27:17 debut in Chicago) has recently moved to Bend, Oregon to open a training business. On hand to watch and cheer for some of her own athletes, Baillie felt it was long past time for the change. She cited the problem starting all the way back in high school cross country where women often only run two miles to the men's 5k (3.1 miles.)
All told, it is wonderful that there are differences between the genders. We are each other's yin to the other's yang. Pretending we are the same is folly. Yet, while we are different there shouldn't be any need to handle women with kid gloves. They have shown, when given the chance, to be made of a tough stuff (Ronda Rousey, anyone?) It matters not whether that stuff is "tougher" than men. It matters only that women have shown they can handle much more than they are often even allowed to attempt.
Of course, with the talk of gender inequality in pay, there is a silver lining in the sport here. At least on this day, women only have to run 66% as far as men to collect the same paycheck.
That's progress, right?

Reviews: Steins Gate
FWA HA HA HA: a review of steins;gate
2011 was one of the best years for anime in a long while. You had the subversive Madoka Magica, the extremely consistent Fate/Zero, Ben-to (which was better than it had any right to be,) Un-Go (which was better than a lot of people gave it credit for), the spectacular Mawaru Penguindrum...that's not even counting Wandering Son, Level E or Bunny Drop, all shows that I have yet to see but are supposedly brilliant. There was even Ano Hana, if that was your sort of thing (and it was a lot of people's, believe me.) Even better was the sheer diversity of offerings on display—you had dark magical girl anime, growing-up anime, social commentary anime, penguin mystery anime... Then you had Steins;Gate, an adaptation of a popular visual novel which is starts out as quirky science-fiction slice of life before transforming into an intense time-travel thriller, and then again into something else entirely. Visual novel adaptations don't have a great track record, and considering how complicated the material is here, the production could have been botched in the same way Chaos;Head was all those years ago. It's a testament to studio White Fox, and to the fact that Steins;Gate is easily one of the best written genre shows in ages, that the series stands up as well as it does. Two things stand out about Steins;Gate as soon as you start watching it. The first is that it trusts you enough to puzzle out its mysteries. The second is that it understands Japanese otaku culture (screw that, nerd culture in general) better than just about any other work of fiction I can think of. The story's about time travel, yeah, but it also brings in CERN, John Titor and World War III, while at the same time representing stuff like maid cafes, dating sims, 4chan logic and a ton of other stuff without ever coming off as condescending. The cast of characters is uniformly likable, and the protagonist is probably one of the most fascinating in ages. And if the story is initially slow, episode 12 starts a nearly miraculous chain of episodes stretching all the way to episode 22, all of which are brilliant, harrowing stuff. The ending doesn't quite match the intensity of some of the early material, and the music can be a little bland (although some of it is great.) But as a work of grand entertainment, Steins;Gate is practically a home run. All together now. El. Psy. Congroo.

Sure, their late father may have been a music icon beloved the world over. However, when all is said and done, the King of Pop's offspring are really no different than any other children who are simply going about their everyday lives and just trying to get through that crazy little thing called growing up.

Access to nutritional foods vital for urban, rural health
July 25, 2013
By Doug Boyd
ECU News Services
Stores that stock little if any healthy foods could be a contributor to obesity in urban and rural communities, but such stores could also be a catalyst for healthier eating.
That's according to researchers at East Carolina University. Their two-part study, "Formative Evaluation for a Healthy Corner Store Initiative in Pitt County, North Carolina," is published in the July 18 issue of Preventing Chronic Disease, a publication of the CDC. It is available online at http://www.cdc.gov/pcd.
|Dr. Stephanie Jillcott Pitts
Dr. Stephanie Jilcott Pitts, an associate professor of public health at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, led a team that focused on "food deserts" -- urban neighborhoods and rural towns without ready access to fresh, healthy and affordable food. This lack of access to healthful foods contributes to a poor diet and can lead to higher levels of obesity and other diet-related diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease.
During the spring and summer of 2011, two ECU graduate assistants audited 42 stores in rural and urban areas of Pitt County, including interviews with store owners and managers and store customers. They found that healthful foods were generally less available and of lower quality in rural areas than in urban areas.
Store owners expressed a willingness to stock more fruits and vegetables if customers demanded it. Meanwhile, customers suggested they would buy and eat more healthful foods if stores stocked them.
"The take-home message was that corner stores can be an important source of food for many people in rural and urban areas of Pitt County," Pitts said. "While corner store owners may not perceive there is demand for healthy foods, customers, at least the ones we surveyed, seemed willing to purchase healthier foods from corner stores. So if healthier foods are provided in the stores, perhaps customers would purchase them."
|Accessibility to nutritious foods at stores like the Farmers Fresh Market near Ayden, pictured above, helps improve customer diets and reduce obesity, according to an ECU researcher. (Contributed photo)
Four county stores, Mark's Food Mart near the Pitt County Fairgrounds, Farmers Fresh Market near Ayden, Mid-Town Grocery in west Greenville and Carolina Country Fresh in Bethel, have joined the initiative and are offering fresh produce to customers. Mark's Food Mart reported a 30 percent profit margin on produce in 2012.
Pitts credited the following people for their work on the study: ECU public health graduate assistants Karamie Bringolf, Carmeron Lloyd and Kelly Lawton; research associate Jared McGuirt; and the CPPW team of Jo Morgan, Jean Wilkerson, Diana Vetter-Craft and Chris Green at the Pitt County Health Department.

The weather is heating up and so is the job market. Hundreds of unemployed people stood in line for over an hour outside the Clarion Hotel Conference Center for Modesto's HIREvent on Tuesday for the opportunity to find employment with companies looking to hire.

Two hours before dawn I zip open my tent door and peer out. The beam from my headlamp illuminates six inches (15 centimeters) of snow. Last night, when the ground was clear, my three companions and I decided to get an early start this morning. We wanted to pull our gear-laden aluminum rickshas as many miles as possible before the sun melted the hardpan into soft mud. Now it doesn't matter: Pulling through snow will be just as difficult. I remind myself that tenacity is easier when you have no choice.
As I maneuver out of my warm bag and into my cold pants, I consider the work in front of us. We are five days into a thirty-day trek across Tibet's northern Chang Tang, a vast alpine steppe so sparsely populated we don't expect to see another human being for more than 200 miles (320 kilometers). This land is so desolate and high—the average elevation above 16,000 feet (4,900 meters)—that even the drokpa, the leather-skinned nomads of western Tibet, don't venture here. The animals are so unaccustomed to people that on the second day of our trek a wolf came within 50 feet (15 meters) and stared at us for 20 minutes.
By dawn we are each straining against the waist harnesses strapped to our rickshas, our wheels tracing deep furrows in the virgin snow. We have left the flat steppe and are pulling our rickshas up the foothill of an unnamed 20,000-foot (6,000-meter) peak north of Toze Kangri mountain. As the sky brightens, a snow finch sounds a morning chirp and the sun feathers through a reef of clouds. Behind us the slanting rays paint the snow-blanketed hills pink. Ahead the early light disperses through an icy haze into a long band of purple, green, yellow, and red.
"A circumhorizontal rainbow," Galen says. "You see it in high mountains and polar areas every once in awhile."
Best known as a photographer and mountaineer, Galen Rowell is famous among his friends as a font of information about the wilderness. Earlier, in his outdoor professor mode, he made us stop to examine an arenaria, a cushion plant that looks like an overcooked extra-large pizza. Later he gave us a mini-lecture on frost polygons—mounds of earth heaved up like gopher trails and frozen into geometric shapes. What none of us can imagine on this crisp morning is that this would be Galen's last expedition: A month after we returned to the United States, he and his wife, Barbara, perished in a plane crash near their home in Bishop, California. In the sad days following his death we would find solace in the knowledge that for all of us, including Galen, this adventure had been among the most fulfilling of our lives.
We started our journey on May 27 in Lhasa, capital of the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China, where Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin, Galen, and I hired a four-wheel-drive SUV and a double-wheeled truck, and bought six drums of fuel. With a staff of four Tibetans—two drivers, a cook, and a liaison officer—we drove north for five days, first over rough dirt roads, then for three days following the faint tire imprints of the infrequent vehicles that had preceded us. Finally we reached a point where the tracks vanished into the muck and our trucks could go no farther.

Perfect Square: Solving Two Equations
Date: 6/21/96 at 20:58:1 From: Sheldon Wilson Subject: Find x so that Two Expressions are Perfect Squares Find the value of x such that x^2 + 5 is a perfect square AND x^2 - 5 is also a perfect square. The value of x must not contain surds; that is, x must equal M / N where M = {1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or . . .} and N = {1 or 2 or 3 or . . .} I have solved this problem correctly but I am not satisfied with my solution. I am looking for a more elegant solution. Thanks.
Date: 6/26/96 at 11:5:38 From: Doctor Brian Subject: Re: Find x so that Two Expressions are Perfect Squares Try looking at some of the differences between perfect squares. You're trying to find a difference of ten (between x^2 - 5 and x^2 + 5) 1-0=1 4-0=4 4-1=3 9-0=9 9-1=8 9-4=5 16-0=16 16-1=15 16-4=12 16-9=7 25-0=25 25-1=24 25-4=21 25-9=16 25-16=9 At this point, the difference between *consecutive* perfect squares is more than ten: (x + 1)^2 - x^2 = x^2 + 2x + 1 - x^2 = 2x + 1, which for x>5 gives an answer greater than or equal to 11. Finally, since squaring a number is an increasing function, then any larger gap between the numbers must give a larger difference that between consecutive numbers. For instance, the gap between the squares of 6 and 8 must be larger than the difference in the squares of 6 and 7. So the only possible way to give a difference less than 10 between the numbers would be to use numbers less than five. But the above table shows that there is no pair of numbers less than five whose squares give a difference of ten. -Doctor Brian, The Math Forum Check out our web site! http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

The folks at Mother Jones have been conducting some investigative journalism on the FBI's unique way of fighting terrorists:
Over the past year, Mother Jones and the Investigative Reporting Program at the University of California-Berkeley have examined prosecutions of 508 defendants in terrorism-related cases, as defined by the Department of Justice. Our investigation found:
- Nearly half the prosecutions involved the use of informants, many of them incentivized by money (operatives can be paid as much as $100,000 per assignment) or the need to work off criminal or immigration violations. (For more on the details of those 508 cases, see our charts page and searchable database.)
- Sting operations resulted in prosecutions against 158 defendants. Of that total, 49 defendants participated in plots led by an agent provocateur — an FBI operative instigating terrorist action.
- With three exceptions, all of the high-profile domestic terror plots of the last decade were actually FBI stings. (The exceptions are Najibullah Zazi, who came close to bombing the New York City subway system in September 2009; Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, an Egyptian who opened fire on the El-Al ticket counter at the Los Angeles airport; and failed Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad.)
- In many sting cases, key encounters between the informant and the target were not recorded — making it hard for defendants claiming entrapment to prove their case.
- Terrorism-related charges are so difficult to beat in court, even when the evidence is thin, that defendants often don't risk a trial.
"The problem with the cases we're talking about is that defendants would not have done anything if not kicked in the ass by government agents," says Martin Stolar, a lawyer who represented a man caught in a 2004 sting involving New York's Herald Square subway station. "They're creating crimes to solve crimes so they can claim a victory in the war on terror." In the FBI's defense, supporters argue that the bureau will only pursue a case when the target clearly is willing to participate in violent action. "If you're doing a sting right, you're offering the target multiple chances to back out," says Peter Ahearn, a retired FBI special agent who directed the Western New York Joint Terrorism Task Force and oversaw the investigation of the Lackawanna Six, an alleged terror cell near Buffalo, New York. "Real people don't say, 'Yeah, let's go bomb that place.' Real people call the cops."

Before we begin today, an addition to yesterday's article on corn. I should have added that whole grain corn is much easier to get used to than whole wheat flour. Just buying a bag of chips or a package of corn tortillas will start you on it. While most folks might turn their nose up at whole wheat, they've already been eating whole corn. So it might be more of a natural grain to stock ( just get enough wheat for sprouts, at least ). Okay, today let's talk about yet another possible post-apocalypse career. Barber. I covered straight razors eons ago, pre-blog days. I ordered a package of stainless steel straight razors and tried to shave with one with little effect. A loyal minion sent me a carbon steel one but I chickened out using it. By that time I had decided I would just stockpile a bunch of disposables and the razor sharpener from Lehman's. I can get a disposable to last at a minimum of two months using one of those sharpeners and shaving three times a week. So with my hoard of cheaply bought disposables I'm good for the rest of my life on shaving ( or close enough, and I still have that good straight razor ).
If you buy a bunch of stainless steel razors for barter, you can pay as little as two or three bucks each. If you want a professional straight razor, one that does a decent job ( you might have better luck with the stainless than I did so I could be wrong here and stainless will work just fine for you with a bit more attention to getting an edge ), you need to buy a carbon steel version. And they are far more than three bucks. Try more like thirty on up. But, you are buying an investment. This should be your primary concern. A guy can go awhile without a haircut. And do a half ass job chopping it off. But if they want a shave, they are going to have to go see a professional. Disposable razors will wear our quickly after the stores close. Beards will out of necessity make a come back, but enough men might want to do without one that you'll have a business.
Plenty of Web sites out there will give you all the information you want on straight razors. Next up are going to be hair scissors. Something a little better than a pair from the dollar store. Like the razors, you are going to have to decide on a compromise between the cost and the number of back up pairs you can stockpile. Then, it is a simple matter of buying a ten dollar book on cutting hair. If you don't already know how. But this seems like a pretty easy profession to get ready for. A few pieces of equipment, a little practice. I know I've thrown some pretty bizarre possible professions your way, such as honey wagon driver. This is just a reminder that there are easy, cheap ways to get ready for a post-oil life. It isn't the matter so much of skill. Anyone can hack up an animal carcass and soon learn butchering. Candle making isn't rocket science. It is more the matter of having the fore site to stock up on the proper equipment before hand. How many folks will have a manual sharpening stone wheel and files to sharpen axes or saws? Anyway, something to think about.

How can you make a good first impression?
Your only given one chance to make a first impression, and often times it can make or break a new relationship with your customer. Your initial means of communication is your marketing message, a consistent, creative line that customers pick up when they first come in contact with your brand. While its easy to be succumbed into using that line to boast about your brand, customers really don't want to hear it. What customers do want to hear, is a marketing message full of personality, promise, and contrast.
Chapter Five of The Marketing Plan Podcast will guide you through three principals to help you create the perfect brand message to seal the relationship with future customers. You can view Chapter Five's notes here.

Today's relocation is in line with the memorandum of understanding signed in December by the UN and the Iraqi Government to resolve the situation facing the residents of Camp New Iraq (formerly Camp Ashraf), who are members of a group known as the People's Mojahedeen of Iran.
Martin Kobler, the head of UNAMI and the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Iraq, commended the 400 or so residents for their decision to move to Camp Hurriya.
"This is the first step towards a better future outside Iraq," he said. "I look forward to their continued cooperation with the Iraqi authorities to complete the relocation without delay."
Mr. Kobler also commended Iraqi authorities "for having ensured a safe and secure relocation of the first group of residents. I urge them to pursue the relocation of the remaining residents in a manner that continues to guarantee the human rights, safety and welfare of all residents."
He urged other Member States to confirm that they are ready and willing to accept eligible candidates from Camp Hurriya who want to resettle in third countries.

Exercise for back pain
The biggest conference in sports science, the annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine, wrapped up last week in Seattle. It'll take a few weeks to sort through the rubble and pull out the worthy new studies, but I figured I'd start with a University of Alberta study on back pain, since it's something that will afflict about 80 percent of North Americans at some point in their lives.
Researchers took 240 people with chronic lower-back pain, and had them exercise with weights two, three or four days a week, or else not at all. The verdict:
"While it could be assumed that someone with back pain should not be exercising frequently, our findings show that working with weights four days a week provides the greatest amount of pain relief and quality of life," said Robert Kell, lead author of the study…
Over the course of the 16-week study, the four-a-week group reduced pain by 28 percent, the three-a-week by 18 percent, and the two-a-week by 14 percent. Obviously we'll need some more details of what, exactly, the exercise program consisted of — but it seems to jive with the general trend towards active recovery rather than immobilization.
