This wasn't about sporting drama. The Internet and my position as a sports editor had alerted me hours prior to NBC's carefully editted tape delay broadcast of the evening's golden outcome for Team USA.
No, Tuesday night was going to be about something much simpler — a father-daughter moment spent showing her that not all sports celebrities are male, that not all cheers are reserved for games with the word "ball" in their title. It was a chance to demonstrate that anyone who bounces and rolls around like she does on her most enthusiastically hyper 4-year-old days really can achieve something.
At least that was the plan.
Unfortunately for yours truly, Daddy's Little Princess had spent much of the day already bouncing and rolling around outside in the summer heat, so when I got home from work, her eyelids were looking mighty heavy. Almost on cue, as the first strands of the Olympic anthem began to ring out from the television, she began to gather pillows and blankets into a small preschooler nest next to me.
Two rounds into synchronized diving coverage, she was sleeping peacefully — still further proof that she takes after her father.
Fortunately, NBC, in its eternal need to script Olympics coverage like one of its many failed primetime drama series, opted not to run gymnastics in Tuesday's first hour. After all, anyone who has watched Olympic coverage in the last two decades knows that American gold is strictly reserved for the final hour of primetime.
So while I sat munching chicken and salad and questioning the sanity of anyone willing to jump off the equivalent of a three-story building into a tiny pool of water while tumbling and twisting, my date for the evening snored beside me. She was still out cold when the vault opened the gymnastics part of the programming and remained comatose for the uneven bar performances as well.
But she woke up in time for the start of the balance beam and the big night was on. Helping her stand on the back of the sofa, I took great care to help her balance, throwing her up in the air and twisting her and flipping her this way and that way in rough synchronization with the first televised U.S. routine in much the same way I had helped her emulate the figure skaters that had enthralled her two years earlier in the Winter Olympics.
As her feet touched down following her first father-aided dismount — a very technical double-squealing somersault with a brush of the ceiling and much wild arm flailing, I might add — she looked up at me, face suddenly serious, and said "I can't do that" as she stomped back to her seat, refusing to take the "beam" for routine No. 2. I sighed and sat back beside her, silently wondering if Nadia Comaneci's father endured something similar 45 years ago.
We watched the second, and then the third U.S. beam performance. The Russians didn't help my budding young Olympic athlete's confidence when they came on looking as steady on their feet as 2 a.m. traffic out of the bar district.
Nope, she was very convinced that she couldn't do that. And, I was informed, it now looked scary.
Clearly this evening was not fostering the spark of inspiration that I had hoped.
The night was saved by a most unlikely source — a television commercial for the animated movie "Paranorman," which showed a skeleton doing a pommel horse routine. Suddenly, gymnastics looked fun. And funny.
When the floor exercise followed the commercial break, she was ooh-ing and ahh-ing with each high-flying tumbling pass. She even made a few token crosses of the living room floor to demonstrate how high she could jump. By the time it was all done, she was clapping and cheering along with the crowd and waving to a mock audience of her own.
Maybe the night hadn't gone quite as planned, but it had turned out well. Best of all, I even have a few years to figure out how to break it to her that the pommel horse isn't a women's gymnastics apparatus.

This looks beautifully delicious!!!
It is a winner. I made your recipe last time. Loved it. I can't wait for our peaches to be picked this year.
Beautiful, really gorgeous photo and what a lovely summery recipe too! :)
This recipe is new to us and looks SO. GOOD. Thanks for sharing!!
I made this lazily with the peaches I canned the day before. It was probably sweeter than intended, but AMAZING! I loved the glaze and it held everything together beautifully. Thank you!
I tried this recipe with halved unsweetened strawberries and it was amazing as well.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – The Walt Disney Co. plans to build a 12-stage production facility at its Golden Oak Ranch in the Santa Clarita Valley, northwest of Los Angeles, primarily to serve the production needs of ABC Studios.
Disney and ABC Studios have filed applications with Los Angeles County for Disney/ABC Studios at the Ranch, a high-tech soundstage and production facility. The facility, which would include six pairs of soundstages, would take up 56 acres in the western tip of the 890-acre Gold Oak Ranch.
Disney has only two soundstage facilities, one on the Disney lot, which has virtually no usable outdoor space, and one at its Prospect Studios.
As a result, ABC Studios' 14 locally produced series are spread over nine facilities.
When the Ranch facility is built, it could accommodate about four established and as many as six freshman shows, said ABC Studios executive director production Richard Ballering.
The "synergy of indoor and outdoor production" was the main draw at Golden Ranch, which would still have 195 acres for outdoor filming and movie ranch space after construction is completed, Ballering said.
He declined comment on the size of the company's investment in the ranch. According to figures released by ABC Studios, the project is expected to generate 3,152 new jobs and $522 million in economic activity during construction and 2,854 full and part-time jobs and $533 million in annual economic activity.
There is no official launch date for the facility, but Disney is looking as a possible 2013 construction start date.
The Walt Disney Co. purchased the Gold Oak Ranch in 1959 to use for outdoor filming. It originally was used primarily for Westerns, gradually expanding to a wide range of feature, TV and commercial productions.
Some of the films and series shot on the premises include "Old Yeller," "Pearl Harbor," "Independence Day" and the two "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequels as well as "Lassie," "Bonanza," "The X-Files," "CSI" and "Entourage."

In this paper we present trap profile measurements for HeLa cells in Optoelectronic Tweezers (OET) based on a data projector. The data projector is used as a light source to illuminate amorphous Si creating virtual electrodes which are used to trap particles through dielectrophoresis. We show that although the trap stiffness is typically greater at the edges of the optical spot it is possible to create a trap with constant trap stiffness by reducing the trap's size until it is similar to the object being trapped. We have successfully created a trap for HeLa cells with a constant trap stiffness of 3×10-6 Nm-1 (capable of moving the cell up to 50μms-1) with a 12μm diameter trap. We also calculate the depth of the potential well that the cell will experience due to the trap and find that it to be 1.6×10-16J(4×104 kBT).

Do you brew your own beer? You have nothing to lose, everything to grain, with Malt of the Month.
Well, barley nothing to lose...you malt lose your taste for mass-produced malt in your beer when you Get Your Grain On, baby!
In it's 5th year, the MotM is part of our Brewer Supported Agriculture (BSA) project. You will not only be dazzled by the unique and heirloom grains and artisanal malts that you cannot order from a catalog, but you will also be supporting local farms and your local malthouse.
Order your share today
- 100 shares available for $200 each
- Includes 30 lbs of specialty malts and 100 lbs of Organic Pale and/or Pilsner Malt
June 2017: 50lb base + 15lb specialties
December 2017: 50lbs base + 15lb specialties
There is an additional $30 shipping charge for all MotM Shares that are not picked up at the malthouse.
You may ask yourself...
How will I know what specialty malts will be offered?
You can safely bet that you will get: wheat, rye, smoked malt and heirloom grains. We are always doing research and development to perfect our specialty malts and push the boundaries of what malts can be. You may find that the wheat malt share is from an heirloom wheat variety, the crystal malt share is crystal wheat or that the smoked malt is smoked with local walnut or cherry wood. You may also find a small bag of bonus malt in some of your share. These would be some of our more off the wall malts that are in R & D such as: chamomile crystal or apple wood smoked crystal spelt.
When do I pick up my grains?
June, September, January and March. You will get an email at least a week beforehand letting you know what the specialty malt will be and when it will be delivered. It is important that you pick-up your malt within 1 week at participating homebrew shops. Malthouse pick-up is much more laid back. There is a bin at the malthouse where the malts are stored until you come and get them.

Combine Prep Opportunity
I recently trained a high school athlete for a lacrosse combine. While I haven't trained lots of lacrosse athletes previously, I was excited by the opportunity. Besides, most of the training was focused on the combine events and not the sport itself. We had about 2 weeks to prepare so we mainly focused on fundamental speed and agility skills . We covered all of the basic things like arm drive, body position, accelerating, decelerating, etc. Over the two weeks the athlete made numerous improvements in his physical skills and I felt sure that he would make a good showing at the combine. Since he had never participated in a combine before,we also talked about everything from getting proper rest to how the combine would probably be run. We he showed up on combine day, I wanted him to be prepared for every possibility that he might face.
The Result
A day after the combine, the athletes father called me to give me the results. First, the father informed me that the coaches had told the athletes that they weren't concerned with how fast they ran at the start of a game. They wanted to see what they could do when they were tired. Because of this, the combine participants all had to run multiple gassers before they did any combine drills. While this was something that was certainly different from most combines, the athlete ran the gassers and still had an outstanding day. He ended up impressing a lot of folks. When the father told me the story and gave me the results, I was very happy with what the athlete was able to accomplish.
Mental Preparation
Just like all Strength and Conditioning Coaches, I always want my clients to do well in their sports, combines, tryouts, pro days, etc. However, the father made one comment that made me realize how well prepared his son was for the combine. He said that when his son showed up to the combine, he was "comfortably confident". To me this meant that he was confident in his physical skills, but that he also felt comfortable with everything that he was about to experience. Those comments, plus the gassers that the kids had to run, made me realize how important it is for athletes to be prepared for all aspects of tryouts, combines, etc. That should help them to perform better but should also help them to handle anything unusual that happens (like the gassers, rain, etc). While I normally try to work in some mental preparation when I train athletes for these events, I really emphasized it with this athlete. Primarily that was because he had never been to a combine before. However, after his experience, I make sure to cover any details that I can with all of my clients. This applies even to athletes that have been to multiple combines/tryouts. While veteran athletes may have lots of good info, they may have picked up some bad "tips" also. There is no telling what info that have gotten from other athletes, coaches, the internet, etc. Because of this, sometimes it is necessary to do some "damage control" and make sure that they have good info to follow. I probably put more emphasis on this part of the preparation than other people do. The thing is, if I train someone, I want them to do their best. I'm not just there to go through the coaching motions and take their money. To me it doesn't matter if it is a high school kid hoping to perform well at a combine, or a pro athlete prepping for a pro day or tryout. Yes, if the pro athlete gets signed, it's a great feather in your cap. However, to the high school kid, his performance is just as important.
So, what's the take home message? Don't forget to emphasize mental preparation with your athletes. It can help your athlete to be better prepared. It can also give them a huge advantage when things don't go exactly as planned.

DEAR AMY: I strongly believe that in today's society it is necessary to shower daily and apply deodorant immediately after showering and re-apply as needed. If I ever forget to wear deodorant, I will go out of my way to find a store and buy some. I'd be humiliated if I ever smelled bad!
On the other hand, my boyfriend only showered about once every three days before we dated (eew!). He says he doesn't believe in deodorant, and he can actually name a list of famous men who don't wear it. When my boyfriend skips a shower I certainly notice, and he only wears deodorant when I bug him about it.
When he spends the night at my house I notice that the bedroom smells stinky until he leaves. He just doesn't seem to understand that it is actually a big deal to skip showers. I've been nice for so long but now have resorted to threatening to stop shaving my legs!
It's gotten to the point that I try to embarrass him about being smelly. Then he laughs and teases me, saying that he smells like a man and I should learn to love it.
I told him I would write to you, and he said that if you published my letter he'd send it to his friends because it's so hilarious.
— Fresh Scented
DEAR FRESH: Your boyfriend may be acting like an idiot — but I don't really blame him. You seem to have an almost irrational fear of any scent not manufactured by Procter and Gamble.
I don't agree with you that bathing every day is a necessity, and I definitely wonder about your addiction to deodorant.
You may have sensitized your nose so much that you now have a phobia about the smell of your own body, not to mention anyone else's.
That having been said, you should cop to having an extreme sensitivity and your boyfriend should be kinder about it (though I note that he is already bathing more often). And can't you manage to relax your extreme standards without humiliating him in the process?
Not that you two want solutions. You want to control, shame and threaten him, and he wants to make fun of you.
DEAR AMY: How does one respond to a friend/neighbor who tells you her teenage daughter is pregnant?
The father of this child is in his early 20s, has no prospects and won't be taking on any responsibilities for mother or child. They will live on welfare.
Does one congratulate the friend because she's going to be a grandmother? Does one show concern over the predicament?
What should the reaction be?
— Speechless
DEAR SPEECHLESS: You should say, "This is a surprise. How are you feeling about it? And how is your daughter doing?"
This friend's response to your open-ended questions will guide the rest of the conversation. Please remember that pregnancy lasts for almost a year. There is time to adjust to the shock and to also develop something of a plan for the future.
Babies can have a transformative effect on people, prompting families to rise to the occasion.
It is kindest to assume a positive (or at least neutral) attitude, and also to offer neighborly assistance — even if it simply takes the form of a fresh cup of coffee and a shoulder to sigh on.
DEAR AMY: I simply cannot believe your defense of a racist boyfriend in your response to a letter from "Worried."
A leopard will not change his spots. If she stays with him, their children will be racists. He promised not to make racist comments in front of her, but that doesn't mean anything.
— I'm Worried About You
DEAR WORRIED: This boyfriend had proved that he was willing and able to change his behavior. I think it's also possible for someone to change the thinking behind the behavior.
"Worried" reported that she is from a racially diverse family and that her boyfriend liked her family members very much. If he sees the connection between his comments and the impact on actual people, his views could evolve.
If not, I agreed with Worried that this is a deal breaker.

sounds like amy probably smells bad a lot of the time, too.
they make 'all natural' deodorant, and bath soap. this isn't the 1600s, kids.
People in Europe tend to not use deodorant or totally bath like most in America. But I did notice that underarms were washed daily or more often with soap and water. Same for the private parts. Here we are so used to NO BO, that it is very noticable when we meet someone who doesn't have decent hygene.
REALLY, NO bath in three days!!!
Looks like it;s time to dump this dirt bag!
I can't imagine her keeping him when he won't even keep himself clean.
I can't imagine NOT taking a shower EVERY day.
Ewwwwwww!!!!!!!!! What a bozo!
Yeah... the no back for three days is pretty stank. That's like totally gross ok. Ew!!!!
I take a shower three times per day. When I get up in the mornings and before and after the gym in the evenings.

I cannot thank you enough for the information you sent me on Leaky Gut Syndrome and the solution! I have had many problems for years such as bloating, food allergies, constant hunger pains, dry, cracked heels and most recently itchy skin that just would not stop. I tried many elimination diets but nothing seemed to work. When I started the program you suggested within a week my skin stopped itching and the second week my heels are no longer dry and cracked.
I actually think most of these issues have plagued me for 20 years and I cannot believe I finally have releif. My heels were so bad I would wear holes in my bedsheets from the dryness and cracks. I highly recommend doing the program as I believe this is a bigger problem in our society than we realize.

Celiac Disease Becoming Epidemic
Celiac disease, also known as Leaky Gut Syndrome, is a modern day health problem that is affecting millions of Americans, and becoming more widespread.
According to an article in the Gluten-Free Living magazine, research is indicating that 70 percent of people suffering from this digestive disorder don't achieve the healing of the gut lining needed for recovery, even when following a strict gluten-free diet.
Perhaps the answer lies not so much in hoping for a vaccine or drug but instead, using safe, natural herbs to repair and strengthen the body and restore intestinal integrity...

Reuters: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pushed one of her simplest but potentially most transformative diplomatic priorities in India on Wednesday: clean cooking stoves. Clinton, who last year launched a $50 million U.S. drive to bring clean cooking stoves to developing countries to cut deaths from smoke inhalation and fight climate change, visited an Indian demonstration site to watch some of the stoves in action.
Clinton watched several Indian women working different models of cookstoves, ranging from a traditional fire to the new model stoves which burn both hotter and more efficiently, reducing the need for fuel and cutting emissions. "The women here today represent women all over the world who are by and large the biggest users and victims of cookstoves," Clinton said after smiling and greeting each of the women crouched by their different stoves.
"We will work with people around the world to help develop clean cookstoves, help to manufacture them so they are affordable for you to buy them." A U.S. official traveling with Clinton said improving cooking stoves in India alone could have a major impact. Cooking fires are blamed for some 400,000 deaths in the country each year, mostly of women and children, and for as much as a quarter of India's emissions of soot or "black carbon," which along with ozone air pollution is seen as a major driver of global warming.
Clinton used her visit to announce that two major Indian trade federations were signing on to the clean cooking stove initiative, potentially using their huge networks to spread both the word and the technology behind the new cookers. Clinton has advocated for clean cooking stoves on many of her trips to the developing world, seeing it as a way both to improve the environment and empower women, long one of her signature issues.
U.S. funding, which will be spread over five years, is part of a Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves to spearhead the fight against a problem officials equate with malaria and unclean water in terms of its health impact worldwide. Some 1.9 million premature deaths occur annually due to smoke inhalation from rudimentary stoves, which in many cases consist of a few stones and an open fire inside or outside a shelter.
Campaign officials say the aim is to make better cooking technology available at relatively low prices — ranging from $10 to $100. The cook stoves are not given away, which officials say can make them seem less valuable for the recipients, but the program aims to set up micro-lending programs or other methods to make them affordable, including potentially using carbon credits to offset loans for the purchase price.
The alliance seeks to have 100 million homes adopt cleaner stoves and fuels by 2020, and campaigners say they hope that the drive will spread — creating new and more innovative stoves which can further cut emissions. "It's not about a specific stove, it's about reaching the target," one official said. "We are trying to set a standard that anyone can follow."

Rowville Juniors train at Bangholme
Category: Training & Recruitment, Youth & Juniors
10.49 PM 6 August, 2013
Location: District 13 News
Views: 4338
On Thursday 18 April, all 14 of the Rowville Juniors attended Bangholme Campus training ground for some real fire training.
The group was spilt into two teams of seven, with each team taking turns at a couple of the props on the gas PAD.
The kids got to experience the heat of the fire, and were shown various techniques in combating simulated running grass fires and gas pipe fires. The kids showed great enthusiasm towards the training, listening intently to the PAD instructors, operators and other senior leaders who attended. The looks of concentration on their faces, and smiles afterwards once the task was completed, was priceless.
Thanks to Ian Atherton DGO3 Knox Group for helping organise the night, along with all the college staff and other volunteers who attending on the night and helped make this an extremely fun and rewarding event for both the Juniors and their leaders.
The night was such a success that we will be looking at doing it again early next year.

ATLANTA - Late-blooming students would get a second shot at free college tuition, and high schools would get millions to shrink their class sizes, under an $11.8 billion spending plan offered by the governor Thursday.
Gov. Zell Miller called the budget request "a forced march to reality" because it saves $350 million by cutting or abolishing programs - some of them politically popular and likely to prompt an outcry.
"This march has not been an exercise for the timid and faint-hearted.°.°. But we have discovered that tightening the belt is great for focusing the mind," Miller told a joint session of the House and Senate.
Locally, the package includes $4.6 million for a pediatrics lab at the Medical College of Georgia and $5 million to renovate the central utility plant at Augusta State University.
The budget would carry out Miller's plan to speed up federally mandated welfare curbs, changing public assistance into a temporary, short-term program available only to U.S. citizens.
Continuing his quest to turn over government services to private contractors, Miller asked the General Assembly to privatize 22 halfway-house detention centers, cutting 562 jobs from the state payroll.
That follows the Christmastime announcement that 235 prison teachers are being replaced by contract workers and video technology.
In all, the 1997-98 budget would abolish 3,300 state jobs, although hundreds of those are now unfilled and wouldn't require firing anyone.
The budget represents only a slight increase over the ongoing 1996-97 spending plan, which runs until June 30.
"I'm real impressed that there's only roughly $400 million in new spending considering the economy's growth and compared to the past ten years," said Rep. Robin Williams, an Augusta Republican. "This is a really fiscally conservative budget.
"This budget is really trimmed down. The governor has really shrunk the fat," Williams said.
Other legislators, however, were quick to pounce on the details.
Both Lt. Gov. Pierre Howard and House Speaker Tom Murphy promised to resist plans to shut down Brook Run, a 330-bed home for the mentally retarded in Atlanta. The governor wants to send the residents to less expensive day treatment programs in their hometowns.
"Some of those folks, if we take them out of there, they're going to die," said Murphy, D-Bremen. "I don't believe we have any place to put them."
The budget would make it easier for second-chance students to earn lottery-funded HOPE college scholarships.
Currently, a student without the required "B" average in high school can still earn free tuition by making a "B" or better in college for two years. The governor would drop that standard to one year.
The spending plan would divert $40 million out of a controversial subsidy for high school lab classes that auditors say is widely abused. State inspectors found schools merely changing the name of their courses to laboratories, without changing their content, to qualify for more money.
That savings would be plowed into hiring more teachers and building more space to reduce the average high school class size from 23 to 20.
The governor also recommended $37 million in savings to Medicaid, mainly by tighter screening of suspicious claims from health care providers.
To balance those cuts, he asked lawmakers to add $35 million to cover increases in the Medicaid rolls. The program covers the medical bills of about 1 million handicapped and poor people.
Miller is forecasting 4.6 percent growth in the economy, which will help offset the millions lost when the sales tax on food drops by 1 cent in October. The tax is being gradually repealed over three years.
The budget also anticipates a slight slump in Georgia Lottery sales after three years of runaway growth.
Miller budgeted $510 million for the lottery's education programs, down from $546 million in the current budget. Recent figures show sales tailing off for the weekly Lotto Georgia drawing and a slow start for The Big Game, a multi-state drawing.
The budget would add $500 million to the state's debt for construction bonds, with highways, college campuses and technical schools receiving most of the proceeds.

97.1 FM host Dana Loesch is clearly supporting Ann Wagner against tea party favorite Ed Martin in Missouri's Second District GOP primary. And morning host Jamie Allman is privately defending Wagner from charges of crony capitalism. Could this have anything to do with the fact that the Vice President of Emmis Communications (which owns 97.1) John Beck has donated money to Ann Wagner and is hosting events for her?
My guess is that there are other reasons for Loesch throwing Martin under the bus, but nevertheless it's worthwhile putting this theory out there for future reference.
By the way, people who knew Loesch before she was paid to portray an "edgy goth tea partier" all said that she would throw the group under the bus as soon as it was convenient. It's starting to look like they were exactly right.

Is the Emmis Communications VP a "Money Man" For Ann Wagner?
1 comment:
I never understood why nobody contacted Loesch's father when he practically begged to be heard years ago. He wrote how he wanted to refute her "stories" about her childhood, his absenteeism, etc.ReplyDelete
Dan's own father was disputing the stories she told about her childhood, etc.-thus substantiating her long history of fabricating and embellishing at other peoples expenses.

The large, purplish-black, tiger bee fly (Xenox tigrinus) is half an inch or more in size, with distinct mottled patterns on its wings. Fearsome in appearance — it resembles a huge horsefly — the tiger bee fly is harmless to humans, but the nemesis of beetles, wasps and solitary bees, especially carpenter bees. The adult female fly seeks out the unprotected nests of these species and then deposits her parasitic eggs inside to devour the young larvae of the host.
If you have a nuisance problem with carpenter bees making nest holes under unfinished wooden eaves of your buildings, the tiger bee fly is your friend. Tiger bee fly larvae feed on the carpenter bee larvae and will emerge as adults from the nest instead.
Tiger bee flies belong to the Bombyliidae family of insects, which is made up of hundreds of species that have as yet been studied very little, or not at all. They are most often noticed around midsummer, either resting in the sun with wings held outstretched and swept back, angled to the sides, or hovering motionless in midair feeding on flower nectar.

"Wings" — Season Five
Despite some outdated clothes and hairdos, "Wings" has a timeless quality that makes repeat viewings of the sitcom worthwhile. A comedy with heart, the show–which originally aired during the 1993-1994 season–is filled with humor, great acting, and a cast that shares genuine chemistry. At its core, "Wings" is about the relationship between the Hackett brothers.

Below are today's Fortean Headlines…
Gralien Report Daily News for September 13, 2013 — 1 Comment
From the last linked article in Nat Geo: " All the lake monsters, not just Loch Ness but the ones here in North America, in Lake Champlain and Lake George, were all under a mile of ice 20,000 years ago. The cryptozoologists never asked the question, "Well, how did the monster get in the lake if the lake was completely under ice, the lakes are all landlocked, and there's no way for a marine creature to get there at all?" Those are all things that are not news to geologists, they're not news to biologists, but they're apparently news to cryptozoologists."
Do these numbnuts never read their supposed source literature? This has been a major topic of discussion amongst cryptozoologists since at least the 1970's………

Secondhand smoke, also known as passive smoking, occurs as a result of breathing in pollutants in the air from tobacco products. According to the American Lung Association, smoke emitted from tobacco contains about 7,000 toxic chemicals, and of these, 70 are known to be linked to cancer (carcinogenic).

This means that each time someone lights up a cigarette, poisonous chemicals such as benzene, formaldehyde, vinyl chloride, arsenic ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and carbon monoxide is released into the air. As smokers inhale these poisonous substances directly, nonsmokers do so in an indirect manner, as a result of secondhand smoke.

What It Is

Secondhand smoke is a combination of two types of smoke: mainstream smoke, which is actually exhaled from the person who is smoking, and sidestream smoke, which is emitted from the end of a burning cigarette. Both types contain the same toxic carcinogens.

Secondhand Smoke Deaths

The American Lung Association estimates that secondhand smoke is responsible for over 40,000 deaths each year. There are no safe levels of secondhand smoke. Even a brief exposure can trigger a heart attack or an exacerbation of a wide range of negative health consequences. Additionally, exposure to secondhand smoke causes disease and premature death in children and adults who don't smoke.

Groups at Risk

Although everyone exposed to secondhand smoke is at risk, certain groups of people are at higher risk for developing severe problems from secondhand smoke. This includes unborn babies and newborns, children and teens, and people with asthma or other respiratory conditions, including those with COPD. The Surgeon General and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommend that no one smoke when young people are present.

Adults

Secondhand smoke is a major respiratory irritant. It can both cause and worsen respiratory conditions, including COPD. Adults with COPD are particularly at risk when exposed to secondhand smoke, often developing a worsening of symptoms, including increased shortness of breath, cough, and mucus production. Moreover, secondhand smoke acts as a major trigger for asthma. Just the odor of smoke on clothing or skin is enough to trigger symptoms.

Declared by the EPA as a human lung carcinogen, secondhand smoke is responsible for approximately 3,400 lung cancer deaths annually in American nonsmokers. It also causes between 22,700 to 69,600 deaths in the United States from heart disease each year, and although further studies are needed to confirm this link, it has been associated with stroke and hardening of the arteries.

Babies and Newborns

When a woman smokes during pregnancy, the unborn child receives less oxygen and develops an increased level of carbon monoxide in his or her bloodstream. This can lead to a higher incidence of miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Babies exposed to cigarette smoke in the womb are also at risk for low birth weight and other complications. Additionally, there is a definite connection between smoking during pregnancy and SIDS. In fact, infants of mothers who smoke are more than two times likely to die of SIDS than children of non-smokers.

Children and Teens

While there is good news that exposure to secondhand smoke is declining in the past decade, 37 percent of American children (24 million) are still exposed to secondhand smoke, according to the American Lung Association.

Because children have smaller airways, they are more sensitive to secondhand smoke than adults. When a child is exposed to secondhand smoke, his or her ability to breathe becomes impaired, as the airways become inflamed and filled with mucus. This leaves them more susceptible to respiratory symptoms such as coughing and wheezing and often leads to respiratory infection.

Secondhand smoke is associated with 7,500 to 15,000 hospitalizations of infants and toddlers annually and leads to 136 to 212 deaths in children 18 months of age or younger each year. Furthermore, because secondhand smoke irritates the airways of the lungs, it is a powerful trigger for children who have asthma, contributing to 8,000 to 26,000 new cases each year in children. It is also known to aggravate asthma symptoms in 400,000 to 1,000,000 children with asthma.

Children and teens of parents who smoke not only develop more frequent respiratory infections but have more difficulty recovering from them. Secondhand smoke is also known to be associated with middle ear infection, pneumonia, and bronchitis in children.

Teenage smoking is also a major health concern. It is not uncommon that teenagers of parents who smoke become smokers themselves. Teens are not only unaware of how addictive smoking is, but they can easily become addicted in a short period of time.

How to Prevent Exposure

It is extremely important if you have any type of respiratory condition, including asthma and COPD, that you not only quit smoking but avoid secondhand smoke as well. The following steps can be taken in an effort to prevent exposure:

Never allow anyone to smoke inside your home, office, or car.

Explain your "smoke-free home" policy to everyone who visits. People who really care about you will respect and support your house rules.

Discourage smoking behavior in your home by removing all ashtrays.

Advise guests and family members, if they must, to smoke outside, away from open windows or doors.

Do not frequent places where people are smoking. If you must be in an area where public smoking is taking place, sit or stand in a well-ventilated, non-smoking section of that area.

If family members smoke, suggest that they quit.

If you or a loved one is having difficulty quitting, talk to your health care team about getting help. Nicotine replacement therapy and other medications are available and can increase your chances of successfully quitting.

Join, or suggest your loved one join a stop smoking support group.

Although smoke-free ordinances exist in many cities across the country, more needs to be done to protect the health of all people, especially children. Continuing education in our schools and in the workplace can help shed light on this sensitive subject. Every individual is entitled to breathe clean, fresh air, free from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke.

Course description
and objectives.
This is a course on the fundamental particles and their interactions. We will discuss the details of the so-called Standard Model, which is consistent with (almost) all existing experimental observations. Students will become familiar with the Standard Model, experimental techniques of particle physics, and some of the current issues and experiments.
Text and sources.
The required text is Introduction to Elementary Particles by David Griffiths. You are also required to obtain a copy of the Review of Particle Physics (2000), as explained in the first homework assignment.
Some related titles:
Preparation: You should come to class prepared. You will be expected to read the assigned material fairly carefully before class so you can participate in the discussion. As evidence of this preparation, each student is expected to bring at least one question, in writing, to be discussed in class and handed in.
Homework: There will be regular homework assignments. You are expected to complete the homework on time, giving clear and coherent solutions to the problems. Late assignments are accepted up to one week past the due date but receive only 2/3 credit. Exception: when you are in a bind, I will grant a one-week extension with no loss of credit. Hand in or e-mail your extension requests on the regular assignment due date. Limit: two extensions per student during the semester, to be used on two different assignments.
Exams: There will be two take-home exams: a midterm and a final. Each will be two hours in duration, and will be closed book except for a page of notes.
The grade for the course will be based on the following weighting:
Homework assignments:
Midterm exam:
Final exam:
Questions for discussion:
Excessive absences would also be considered in the final evaluation.
Honor Code.
You should work alone on the take-home exams and refer only to your page of notes.
Certain homework problems will be designated "individual" problems for which no consultation with classmates is permitted, but any other sources may be used. You are allowed and encouraged to discuss any other homework problem with the other students, but only after attempting the problem yourself for at least 30 minutes. You must write up your solutions yourself.

The y coordinate of each pion's trajectory is measured with an uncertainty s in each of the three planes.
(a) What is the radius of curvature, R, of the trajectory for a pion of momentum p?
(b) What is the sagitta s of the arc of the trajectory between x = 0 and 2D for a pion of momentum p? Assume D/R << 1, so that small angle approximations may be used, and keep only the leading dependence on D/R.
(c) What is the measured sagitta in terms of the three measurements y0, yD, and y2D?
(d) What is the uncertainty on the measured momentum if D = 1 meter, B = 1 Tesla, s = 150 mm, and p = 20 GeV/c? What is the uncertainty if p = 100 GeV/c? Neglect all sources of uncertainty except that in the y coordinate measurements. Is our assumption that D/R << 1 valid in these cases?

What if you could cook Persian Rice like a pro?
If you've ever been to a Persian restaurant, you know the importance of cooking rice the right way. Have you ever put in the time and effort to cook the rice but when you dish it you realize it doesn't look as good as what you had at the restaurant? Have you ever had to explain to your guests why your rice is all stuck together like Japanese rice?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you'll love what I have for you. This DVD is all you need to never have to deal with Rice problems ever again. In this DVD I have given you all you need to successfully cook and present Persian Rice like a Pro.
After many years of experience in cooking and teaching others how to cook Persian Rice, I have finally put all of my knowledge regarding Persian Rice in one place for you to benefit from. I have many students who have gone from not knowing how to cook Persian Rice to cooking it better than what is served at the restaurants (you can read some of those stories on my Facebook page and my website.
I started learning cooking when I was 7 years old. When all the other boys were playing with cars, I had my own set of kitchen ware and was practicing my cooking skills.
I moved out of Iran at a young age to continue my education. When my grandma wasn't around to cook anymore, I started to miss Persian Food and weight was now on my shoulders to make the food taste as good as hers.
So I started to practice and perfect my technique. I remember my classmates in school used to all come over to my room to eat. Once they got used to eating there, they started making requests for foods that I didn't know how to make. So I had to go learn everything. I love serving and I love to grow so I did it.
For many years, I kept my techniques a secret. Everyone who ate my food raved about it and asked for the secret techniques. I never told anyone about it. Recently, I decided to open the doors of my Kitchen to the public so that you can learn to cook as well or better than me. This is why I am so excited for you today. By purchasing this DVD, you will be taking me home with you to learn the most modern and efficient way to cook Persian Rice.

Glacier was originally inspired by layers of snow and ice. During 2012, inspired by the volcanic energy we witnessed during the Icelandic eruptions, Peter Layton incorporated fiery reds to express his interest in the theme of fire and ice. Each Fire and Ice piece is signed by Peter and etched to give it a silky surface. X

Today on "Off the Record," a sports show on TSN in Canada, MMA star Chael Sonnen was being interviewed, and he was asked if CM Punk was going to wrestle at Wrestlemania (since they're good friends). Chael said he didn't know, but claimed Stephanie McMahon would have the answer.
Shockingly, Chael held up Stephanie's number on a notepad (it was blurred) and said to tell Triple H that he just played "The Game."
It was revealed that the interview was recorded yesterday, and the hosts reportedly called the number and it really was Stephanie's.
Here's a link to the interview. http://www.tsn.ca/VideoHub/?collection=72&show=305971.
