The jury that found US Army Maj. Nidal Hasan guilty on all counts for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, will now decide whether he is sentenced to the death penalty or to a life in prison.
The sentencing portion of the trial begins Monday after Major Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, was found guilty Friday on all 45 charges for killing 13 soldiers and wounding another 31 about a month before he and his unit were to deploy to Afghanistan.
Prosecutors are expected to call more than a dozen family members of those killed to speak about the impact of the loss of their loved ones.
Hasan may also take the witness stand to speak publicly for the first time since the shootings and has the option of presenting mitigating circumstances. Unlike during the trial phase, Hasan can make a statement without being cross-examined by prosecutors, if he chooses to speak without being under oath.
"On Friday, Hasan told the judge he needed time to prepare, perhaps an extra day after the prosecution finishes, an indication that he planned to present something at sentencing," the Los Angeles Times reports.
Hasan's civilian lawyer, John Galligan, has also suggested that Hasan could put himself on the witness stand this week, the Associated Press writes.
Legal analysts believe Hasan could use his statement to speak about the defense that military judge Col. Tara Osborn had prohibited: that he was defending Taliban leaders from attack by US soldiers about to deploy from Fort Hood.
Hasan chose to continue serving as his own attorney during the sentencing phase, even after Colonel Osborn again urged him to consider letting his court-appointed standby attorneys represent him during the sentencing phase.
"I'm only doing this to protect you and to ensure that your choice is made with your eyes wide open," she said, according to the Times.
The standby lawyers have suggested that Hasan is seeking the death penalty, something Hasan has denied. But during the trial, Hasan admitted to being the shooter in his opening statement and did not call any witnesses on his behalf. He questioned only three of the 89 witnesses called by prosecutors and did not give a closing argument.
In 2010, Hasan told a psychiatric review board that he believed that being executed by the Army would give him martyrdom status among Islamic jihadis.
The lack of a vigorous defense creates a particularly troublesome problem for the jury, some experts say.
"All criminal trials – whether civilian or military – depend on an adversarial system," Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, told CNN. "Where there is too much agreement between opposing sides, or where the defendant refuses to put on a spirited case, does not always lead to a true result. Hasan may be setting himself up for a death sentence. The question is whether this military jury will accommodate him."
The jury must be unanimous in order for Hasan to receive the death penalty. That sentence triggers an automatic appeal. Ultimately, the US president must approve a military death sentence.
No American soldier has been executed since 1961, in part because many military death sentences have been overturned on appeal.

Will Shawn's dad live?
That's been the burning question on the mind of every Psych-O since Henry (Corbin Bernsen) was shot in the April finale, and when the cast and crew visited Comic-Con Thursday to show new footage from Season 7, they were happy to keep the mystery alive.
Sporting a T-shirt with question marks on the front and the back, Bernsen was introduced last when a chair and name tag were pulled out from behind the stage for him. He said he didn't know if he had a job. But despite the lack of clues about Henry's status, the cast and executive producers were more than happy to offer plenty of other spoilers:
Read our complete Comic-Con coverage
1. "Once you go 100 episodes, you never go back." That is according to star and panel moderator Timothy Omundson, who introduced a spoiler-heavy clip that included footage from the show's 100th episode — a long-awaited tribute to the 1985 movie Clue. Guest stars for the episode include Christopher Lloyd, Gary Morris, Martin Mull and Lesley Ann Warren.
2. Broadway, here we come. Series creator Steve Franks proudly announced that a two-hour movie musical episode of Psych has been partially written and will start shooting in October. Producers estimate that the episode will feature about 10 original songs, which are being written by Franks and the show's music composer. "The pressure's on because we've been talking about it for a while, so we've got to step it up and deliver," James Roday said. "But we're excited." When asked what genre of music the stars would like to perform, Dulé Hill immediately answered, "I want to do show tunes."
3. Gus has got a girl. Fans in attendance were treated to their first look at Parminder Nagra (ER) as Gus' new girlfriend. "It will be nice to see Gus not dating a crazy person and see him in a relationship that lasts more than one episode," Hill said. "I think the fans will enjoy seeing that side of Gus." But how will Shawn react? "I think he wants to be cool with it, but he's also Shawn, so he can't help himself and feel jealous even though he's got a girlfriend of his own," Roday said. "He's got to man-up, but that's not his best quality."
4. Juliet's two dads. Last season, fans were introduced to Juliet's con man father Frank, played by William Shatner. This season, they will meet her stepdad, Lloyd, to be played by Arrested Development's Jeffrey Tambor. "I have the two coolest dads in the world," Maggie Lawson told the crowd.
5. A more mature Shawn? That idea was met with big boos from the crowd, but Roday told reporters that this will be a defining year in his relationship with Juliet. "They've been together long enough now that you've got to figure out how serious it's going to be and if you're going to stick in or hit the eject button," he said. As seen in the Season 7 preview, also look for Shawn to come face-to-face with the man who shot his dad. Dun dun dun!
Psych returns with new episodes this fall on USA. Do you think Henry will live? Are you excited for the musical episode?

Kelly Calway named USATF Athlete of the Week
Provided by USATF
INDIANAPOLIS - U.S. Army Captain Kelly Calway has been named USA Track & Field's Athlete of the Week after finishing as the first woman at the Marine Corps Marathon.
Calway, a Military Intelligence officer, will soon deploy to Kuwait with an infantry battalion.
Calway's performance marked her first win at 26.2 miles, crossing the line in 2:42:16. One week earlier, Calway (Manitou Springs, Colo.) won the Army 10-miler. She typically runs one or two marathons a year.
"I started running when I was 8, when my family lived in Hawaii," said Calway, who was born in Milicani, Hawaii. "I was an Army brat, I ran everywhere starting from bantams at USATF meets through college. In college (at N.C. State) I ran middle distance. My parents did marathons, so I couldn't wait to get out of college to run one."
Calway is part of the Army's "World Class Athlete Program" and has been stationed at Ft. Carson, Colo., where she trained until traveling to Washington for the Army 10-miler. Running "runs" in the family as her husband, Chris (also an Army captain) and parents are all active runners. Her six-year-old daughter Hazel has also caught the running bug and is starting USATF programs this year.
"My dad always told me 'hard work pays off,'" said Calway. "When the marathon gets tough, and I think a marathon takes guts, I repeat that to myself as the race goes along. I always rely on that mantra."
Calway's military intelligence position puts her at the vanguard of female soldiers and carries on a family tradition.
"My dad's career is so inspiring and he encouraged me to try it [the Army] and I'm so glad I did because I love the Army," said Calway. "It's just neat to grow up in it and then be able to serve in the military, too, and have my daughter be an Army brat as well."
Now in its 12th year, USATF's Athlete of the Week program is designed to recognize outstanding performers at all levels of the sport. USATF names a new honoree each week and features the athlete on www.usatf.org. Selections are based on top performances and results from the previous week.
2013 Winners: January 9, Bobby Mack; January 16, Mary Cain; January 22, Ajeé Wilson; January 30, Duane Solomon; February 6, Chris Derrick; February 13, Jeremy Taiwo; February 20, Alysia Montaño; February 27, Galen Rupp; March 6, Jenn Suhr; March 13, Tia Brooks; March 20, Bridget Franek; March 27, Ben True; April 3, Darvis "Doc" Patton; April 10, Octavious Freeman; April 24, Erik Kynard; May 1, Queen Harrison; May 8, Tyson Gay; May 15, Jon Olsen; May 22, Mary Cain; May 29, Michael Tinsley; June 5, Mary Cain; June 12, Brianna Rollins; June 26, Brianna Rollins; July 3, Thomas Burns; July 10, Ryan Whiting; July 17, William Bell. Sr.; July 24, Jenny Simpson; July 31, Tia Jones; August 14, Brittney Reese; August 21, LaShawn Merritt; August 28, Megan Glasmann; September 4, Matt Tegenkamp; September 11, Mandy Ortiz; September 18, David Oliver; September 25, Molly Huddle; Desi Davila, October 3, Kathryn Martin, October 10; Michael Mannozzi, October 17; Matt Flaherty, October 24; Kelly Calway, October 30.

You might wonder what was that stuff falling from sky recently. Yes, it's rain – something we haven't seen since last year.
For growers across the San Joaquin Valley, the dark skies and rain drops are welcome sights. Indeed, almond trees and young alfalfa plants were starting to look a little parched.
During the early winter dry spell, I was seeing some growers irrigating their fields and orchards to keep their trees and plants alive. It's important that first-year alfalfa plants get adequate water to help develop strong root systems and foliage.
Lately, you started to hear whispers about the dreaded "D" word again. Just the thought of drought is daunting, bringing back painful memories of the fallow fields and abandoned orchards across the Valley.
The good news is some weather forecasters are predicting above average rainfall for February. We're counting on the storm door to stay open and bring more rain to the Valley and snow to the Sierra Nevadas.
Not only is rain good for the fields and orchards, it also helps reduce the salinity building up in the soil. Let's keep up the rain dance.
With the start of the New Year, the San Joaquin Sustainable Farming Project is busy recruiting new almond, alfalfa and cotton growers from Madera, Merced and Fresno counties to join our program. Our participating growers have become better environmental stewards by embracing biological-based Integrated Pest Management practices. They have learned they can improve yields, reduce pesticide use and stay profitable. Growers have access to some of the state's leading University of California extension farm advisors and IPM specialists.
Through our program, growers can save thousands of dollars in material and labor costs by cutting back on pesticide applications. I estimate each treatment can cost $10 to $20 an acre. For a 200 acre field, for example, that's a savings of $2,000 to $4,000 for just one pesticide application. Growers interested in signing up for our program can contact me at (559) 259-1981 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com Tell a fellow farmer as well.

Follow the recommendations below in the order in which they're listed until you've fixed your issue.
Make sure GarageBand is up to date
Make sure you're using the latest version of GarageBand. Choose Apple menu () > App Store, then click Updates in the toolbar. If a GarageBand update is available, click the Update button to download and install it.
Check device or software compatibility
If you're using an external audio interface, MIDI interface, storage system, or plug-in not made by Apple, make sure it's compatible with the latest version of GarageBand. Contact the manufacturer for support. If an update is available, follow the manufacturer's instructions to update the device or software.
Check your external audio interface
Sometimes an incompatible or malfunctioning external audio interface can cause issues with GarageBand. If you're using an external audio interface, first try using the built-in audio on your Mac instead of the interface. If the issue continues to occur, open GarageBand without audio input and output.
If you aren't using an external audio interface, try disabling Audio Units plug-ins to continue troubleshooting your issue.
Use built-in audio with GarageBand
- Unplug your external audio interface from your Mac.
- Open GarageBand, then choose GarageBand > Preferences > Audio/MIDI.
- Choose Built-in Output from the Output Device pop-up menu.
- Choose Built-in Microphone (or Built-in Input, depending on your computer) from the Input Device pop-up menu.
- Open and play back a project that has been experiencing issues.
If the project opens and plays back properly, you might need to update or service your audio interface. Contact the manufacturer for support.
Open GarageBand without audio input and output
- Open GarageBand and immediately press and hold the Control key before a project opens.
- In the alert, click Don't Launch.
If GarageBand opens, it can indicate the following:
- You might need to update or service your external audio interface. Contact the manufacturer for support.
- An Audio Units plug-in might be damaged, or it might not be compatible with your version of GarageBand. You can try disabling plug-ins to troubleshoot your issue.
Disable Audio Units plug-ins
If you're using Audio Units plug-ins, try disabling them. Damaged or incompatible Audio Units plug-ins can create unexpected behavior in GarageBand.
To disable Audio Units plug-ins:
- Open a project in GarageBand.
- Go to GarageBand > Preferences > Audio/MIDI, and deselect Audio Units.
- Play back a project that has been experiencing issues.
If the project opens and plays back properly, a plug-in you're using in the project might be damaged or incompatible with your version of GarageBand. Check with the manufacturer of the plug-in for support.
Create a new project
Create and test a new GarageBand project. GarageBand projects can occasionally become damaged, causing unexpected behavior.
To create and test a new project:
- Open GarageBand and choose File > New.
- Choose Empty Project in the New Project window.
- Add audio files or Apple Loops to the new project.
- Play back the project. If the new project plays back properly, the previous project might be damaged.
Try using another user account
Open GarageBand in another user account on your Mac. Logging in as another user can help you figure out if unexpected behavior is related to a specific user's settings or files.
Reset GarageBand preferences
Resetting preferences doesn't affect your project files, presets, or patches. However, you do lose any custom preference settings you might have made.
Before resetting preferences, choose GarageBand > Preferences and note any specific settings you've made. That way, after resetting preferences, you can go back and reapply your custom settings. For information on different preferences, see GarageBand preferences overview in GarageBand Help.
To reset GarageBand preferences:
- Quit GarageBand.
- In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
- Open Terminal.
- Paste the following command into terminal, and then press Return:
defaults delete com.apple.garageband10
- If you ever updated from a previous version of GarageBand, also paste the following command into terminal, and then press Return.
defaults delete com.apple.garageband
- Restart your computer.

I know, I'm totally overdue on this post. I started it long ago, but got stalled editing pictures. I've been bugged to get it done, so I'm going to stop putting it off!
As my regular readers know, I'm a ridiculous planner. I started seriously pulling together things for this party in April. And then decided I would use May to focus on Mady's Fancy Nancy Party and June to focus on Katie's party.
I didn't foresee one thing.
Being pregnant in June.
Anyone who has been pregnant probably knows that what that really means is that you can't get out of bed (or at least off the couch) for about 6 weeks (or more!).
But I still needed to pull together a Noah's Ark Two-by-Two party!
I finally started actually putting things together just a few days before her party. I'm glad the plan was pretty simple! The most time consuming part was the outfits that I made the girls and those came together pretty quick. In case you're wondering here is the tutorial for the rainbow skirt and the etsy shop I bought the appliques from is The Applique Patch.
I designed the invitation on my silhouette and printed it out at Staples (I didn't want running ink and their colour laser printers stop that from happening). The Noah's Ark boat and animals were shapes in the library.
|(I cheated and just took a screen shot, but this was done as a card style and this was the outside)
|(and the inside, personal info blurred)
So we moved to an indoor plan. Which meant it didn't rain.
For decorations I made a birthday banner shaped like raindrops out of paper (again using my silhouette), hung balloons as water drops (and, yet again, if I had been allowed to stand on high ladders I would have strongly considered hanging them from the ceiling for a more watery feel. Why am I always pregnant for second birthday parties??).
I ruffled streamers on my sewing machine and made a rainbow with some tissue paper poms as the clouds. Then on the banisters around the room (we have a sunken living room) I taped up some colourful umbrellas.
For food we had snacks since it was a morning party: cheese, crackers and sausage as "boat building materials," animal crackers, a rainbow fruit platter and jello rainclouds.
The cake I made to look like an ark using some oval pans and a little loaf pan. And lots of chocolate finger cookies. Which ended up tasting better than my original fondant plan.
That plan got scrapped because one of my pregnancy aversions is looking at fondant. (I seriously haven't read party blogs in 2.5 months. Can't do it.) Mady's cake almost killed me. I knew I couldn't muster up the courage to do it again in a month. And really, I crave lots of chocolate. So this was win/win.
For activities we had the kids make rainbow necklaces out of gimp and frootloops upon arrival. Katie chose instead to just eat them straight out of the bowl.
Then I took the kids into the living room and I went over the basic Noah's ark story (which I was using to guide the activities, but we ran out of time, so technically we didn't finish the story. Good thing I know all the parents can tell it at home!). I bought a pack of little animals off of amazon (free with my swagbucks. Score!) and I hid one from each pair around the room (actually my Father in law did...Thanks Dad!). I gave the kids an animal to go and find the mate of and when they did I had them bring them back to put in the ark (we have a fisher price ark that I used for this). Then I sent them out to find another. They probably could have played this game for an hour if I had enough animals!
(no pictures of any of this because I was leading it. Someone else may have some though so when I get some I'll add them in)
We sang some Noah's ark songs and got all the parents to help us make a rainstorm with our hands (by rubbing your hands, then snapping and then slapping your legs).
Next, I pulled out the playdough and the animal shaped cutters and let them go to town. We had our Noah's ark toys and books out for the non participators and colouring sheets for those who preferred that art outlet.
After that we had snacks and cake and opened presents.
|(I wish blogger didn't hate my camera's videos because we have one of her singing along and then pre-blowing the candles before we were done singing)
|(Katie enjoying her new bike)
We ran out of time to blow bubbles so I sent them home with the kids.
For the favours each kid got to pick an umbrella to take home (The tag said "Here's an umbrella to keep the rain off you and to help you remember the day I turned two!"), I gave them some of the animals from the game, and (my stroke of genius) a Dove chocolate bar. Because you can't have the ark without a dove, right??? I had wanted dove eggs but forgot to get them at Easter. Whoops.
So that was the party. Katie seemed to like it (as much as two year olds can tell you these things).
We are so blessed to have such lovely friends and family to share these special times with. Thanks everyone for coming! I totally forgot to get a group shot of the kids (someone please start reminding me to do this at parties!)
We Love You Katie Mae! Happy Birthday!

Master of Fine Arts in Medical Illustration
Format: Campus
Medical illustrators are specially trained artists with advanced education in the biomedical sciences, cutting edge digital media, and the principles of visual communication. Collaborating with scientists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals, medical illustrators translate complex scientific information into visual images that support medical education, science research, patient care, advertising, and litigation.
RIT's graduate program in Medical Illustration is one of only five such programs in North America and the only program in the Northeastern U.S.. The two-year program combines training in human anatomy (with complete cadaver dissection), histology (the cellular structure of organs), and pathophysiology (the study of disease) with extensive training in 2D and 3D digital graphics, interactive media, and animation. Illustration projects are designed for use in print, projection, broadcast media, and distribution via the web and mobile devices.
The program emphasizes visual problem solving, determining the best approach to communicate a difficult concept. Students also gain real world experience collaborating with medical researchers and observing live surgery in the operating room. The program culminates with the production of a thesis project, which requires extensive background research and an original body of artwork on a complex medical topic.
Financial Aid: Yes
International Financial Aid: Yes

Or rather THE FRIDAY SOCIETY gala!!
It was held at The Gladstone Hotel here in Toronto, and organised by yours truly - and IT WAS SO TOTALLY AWESOME.
We had displays of steampunk props and inventions by Messrs Smith and Bodine. We had a demonstration of Bartitsu (with EW Barton Wright himself explaining the technique). We premiered the trailer. And of course I read.
People came in costume. People posed in the photo area with awesome props. People ate cake. Oh yes. I let them eat cake. Not just one cake but FOUR CAKES.
How did it all come to be? Well first of all I had insane amazing help from Chris Reed at Small Print Toronto and Adam Smith with Steampunk Canada. And of course the amazing support from the staff at The Gladstone.
Second of all I had awesome help from my parents. They drove me to the hotel at 4:30pm that afternoon, and my mom and I (along with some very helpful folks from The Gladstone) helped set up the room in a way that I thought worked best (yes we moved couches across the room, and then back again when I changed my mind).
Then the hotel technician came by to see what I wanted tech wise and he was just fantastic: highlighting certain areas of the room with light, and making sure the reading/trailer screening/fight demo ran smoothly.
Adam (along with adi, a fellow Adrienne and one of the organisers of the Ad Astra convention) showed up at 5pm, and set up a table where he could show off his amazing Steampunk props. They also helped me set up the stage area which was where the photo area was. I always get annoyed that stages take up so much space and are underused at events like this. They are used for the reading and then there's this big empty space. So I decided to set up one end to be a photo area. The room has amazing exposed brick walls and lovely deep red curtains over the windows so it worked really well. Prop a Penny Farthing (one of those oldy-timey bikes with the one giant wheel and one little one) against the wall and you're good to go! Adam helped set up a table of Steampunk props that people could pose with. And let me tell you, it went over gangbusters. People loved it. And the stage was well used over the course of the evening. :)
Then Mr. Bodine (his character name) showed, and set up another table with his fantastic Steampunk devices.
The fight team who were doing the demonstration came a little early to run through the fight on the stage. And then helped put up some twinkle lights. Because twinkle lights make everything awesome.
And of course Chris Szego and her team from Bakka Phoenix Books were there by then to set up the books (they also very kindly helped sell some of my friend Katie's jewelry - I've shown you some of her work before).
And then people arrived and everything went beautifully (I was seriously stunned by this, usually something goes wrong. . . but no! So crazy!). People took pictures on the stage, they loved the trailer and the Bartitsu demonstration (and were rather fond of the reading if I do say so myself :) ). And OMG, the costumes! People really outdid themselves.
It was an amazing evening, full of fun - and it wouldn't have been what it was without all the amazing people who came. I was so overwhelmed by the support, and I say it all the time, but it's well worth repeating . . . I know the most talented, most generous, and most awesome people on the planet. Yes. I am just that lucky. So thank you, again, all of you. It meant the world to me to share this evening with you all.
But enough words, the best way to share the evening is through pictures. Bear with me. There are a lot of them :) .

Five on Good Friday (March 30, 2018)
He Himself bore our sins on His body on the cross so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed. -I Peter 2:24
1. Today marks 7 years since my cancer diagnosis and we celebrated with ice cream for breakfast as usual!
2. We also celebrated 14 years with Camden by eating at Kobe Fusion, a sushi restaurant - Camden's choice although trying sushi was one of Rory's resolutions for 2018. Actually, her only resolution.
3. Scan results are in with a small decrease this time to bring my total to 38% with a CA125 of 24. I am doing this current cycle and then have a 4-week break, and I could not be more ready. Brian went with me this week since he was on spring break (he generally tries to go with me for scan weeks but doesn't take off work for just regular chemo weeks). It was a looonnnggg day and we didn't make it home until after 8:00 p.m. Moving forward, my schedule is going to change slightly. I will have labs and see Dr. Crispens on Tuesday afternoon (preferably after work) and then come back first thing Wednesday mornings for chemo. This should mean two shorter days instead of one long day and I hope the infusion wait time is greatly reduced by being there first thing in the morning.
4. I would call spring break uneventful, but I hope it was restful to some degree for Brian. The kids definitely had it easy and Camden slept in until 10:30 nearly every morning. Rory went to a 2-day 4-H cooking class and had a great time. Ironically, she came home from the second day of class and cut her finger twice while cutting up cucumbers for me. That girl!
5. I am in a serious book slump. I started and quit no less than 3 books this week. Does reading a cook book count in my reading total for the year?
It's a full Easter weekend with Good Friday service tonight (actually a night of worship and Camden is playing), egg hunt tomorrow (I'm probably sitting this out to make sure I don't use up all my Sunday energy), Easter services Sunday plus nursing home service (my dad is preaching and Camden is playing).

This is my 9th year teaching; my 8th in first grade. I love teaching children at this age. They are excited to learn and love school! In first grade children make progress so quickly and you can really see them learning new things. I love to see the light come on in their eyes when they are catching on to something new- so rewarding!
Reading block consumes most of my day and it is set up as a "workshop". I teach small reading groups while other students complete independent work stations. Lately I've been trying to set up math in the same way. By teaching smaller groups of students at a time I can individualize my lessons to better meet their needs.

Thinking about cancer or dealing with cancer risk can be scary or overwhelming, but we believe that receiving information and resources is comforting, empowering, and lifesaving.
Close surveillance or screening for cancer uses tests to try to catch cancer in its early stages, when it is most treatable. Surveillance doesn't prevent cancer. However, early detection improves a person's chance of surviving their cancer. Studies of breast cancer screening tools for high-risk women, some including women with BRCA mutations, found certain screening more likely to detect cancer. Whether close surveillance will lower the death rate from breast cancer in high-risk women is unknown. Nevertheless, based on these studies, recommendations for breast cancer screening in the high-risk population differ from recommendations for the general population.
In women with mutations in BRCA, PALB2, CHEK2, ATM, or other genes that increase cancer risk, breast cancer tends to occur at a younger age, and the lifetime risk for cancer is higher than the general population. Therefore, screening tests that might not be appropriate for women of average risk may be recommended for those in the high-risk category. As surveillance for breast cancer in high-risk women is further researched, screening recommendations will likely change. For the above reasons, it is important to consult with health care experts who are familiar with the standards of care and risk management in high-risk women. Further, it is important to understand that sweeping recommendations regarding cancer surveillance may not apply to women with increased risk for cancer.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is a consortium of cancer centers with experts in management of hereditary cancer.In general, NCCN guidelines dictate the standard of care for cancer surveillance in high-risk patients (including BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, NF1, NBN, ATM, CDH1, and CHEK2). These risk management guidelines are updated annually based on the latest research. Current NCCN guidelines for surveillance of high-risk women include:

Death is something we try to outrun our entire lives and yet, 'what happens when we die' is the one question to which no one has the exact answer. In her award-winning book, This Republic of Suffering, Death and the American Civil War, Drew Faust, President of Harvard University, writes that people in the 19th Century talked about death more than we do, thereby keeping it in the forefront of their mind. She says we, in the modern age, avoid talking about death at all costs, and because we don't keep our end time in sight, we don't live the best lives we could. Since I have encountered the deaths of so many loved ones, I agree with Ms. Faust.
Last week the online cancer community lost a cherished friend and blogger, Sarah Sadtler Feather, aka "The Carcinista." Her last post, less than two weeks before she died, informed her friends and readers that because she valued quality of life, she was stopping treatment to spend the time she had left with her family. Sarah's last post has triggered numerous online and private discussions about death. I sometimes think those of us who've received a cancer diagnosis are not as afraid to talk about death as those who are healthy. I also believe healthy people don't want to hear our thoughts about death, much less know what to say to us when that time comes. Perhaps people don't want to get too close to death for fear they might "get some of it on them." When I was in my 20s, I had a friend who was so afraid of death that he drove blocks out of his way to avoid an old cemetery near his apartment. He was the first person I knew who was that phobic about death. Now that I'm older, and death has crossed my path many times, I realize he is not alone.
Several years after I married James, I learned an ex-boyfriend was dying of lung cancer. I'd last seen "the boyfriend from Hell" when the police escorted him from my home after he violated a protection order. As fears for my safety increased, the Sheriff loaned me his shotgun and for several days, posted a bodyguard outside my door. Even though the last time I'd seen my former boyfriend, he was being stuffed into a police car, when I heard about his cancer diagnosis, I asked James if he would mind if I called him. I remember the first thing I said to the ex: "What have you gotten yourself into now?" He laughed and said he didn't know. The next day I went to the hospital where I learned his newly diagnosed lung cancer had already metastasized to his brain. When his doctors forbid him to drive, I took him to some of his chemo treatments, helped him grocery shop, and when he and his family couldn't bring themselves to ask "How long does he have," I was the one who had that conversation with his doctors, then with him and his family.
The day before he died, his friend called and asked me to come. "You're so good with him," she said. "He's always better after you leave." When I arrived, his eyes were closed and the blankets were pulled up under his chin. His head was covered in a ski cap. I drew up a chair alongside his bed and sat down. For two hours I held his hand and talked to him, reminiscing about trips we'd taken and things we'd done.
"Remember when we drove to Memphis in that wicked rainstorm while we listened to Paul Simon's Graceland?" His hand lightly stirred in mine. I wondered if it was a coincidence, or if he could hear me, so I kept talking. "Remember the time we windsurfed around the oil tanker, and the wind died when the sun went down? We paddled for hours in the dark. I wasn't sure we'd ever reach that light on the beach." Again his hand moved, but this time, I was sure he'd heard me.
The night before, his brother and sister had arrived from out of town and some of his friends were there, but none of them were comfortable being in the same room with him. He was home, the place where he'd lived and where he would soon die, but all of them stayed in the living room as though his bedroom were the portal to the dark side. I remember thinking, 'If I leave, who will stay with him until hospice arrives?'
"Remember the necklace you bought me in the Yucatan? I still wear it." His eyes briefly fluttered. "Your family's all here, and they love you. It's OK if you want to let go." I knew a minister had been to see him earlier in the week, when he was fully conscious, and had baptized him. "I know there's a God," I went on. "Of that, I am certain. It's OK to let go and be with God." I felt his hand stir in mine for what would be the last time.
A couple of days later, James went with me to the memorial service. That night, as I removed the necklace my former boyfriend had bought me in the Yucatan, the clasp broke and grey stones and tiny gold beads hit the floor, rolling in every direction. As I crawled along the floor to retrieve them, I wondered if it was coincidental, or perhaps he was saying goodbye.
The decision to talk about death is not always ours. Sometimes we must take our cues from the one who is dying. Without rendering his own opinion, Philip, my first husband, told me to choose the treatment for his lung cancer. After that, he clearly didn't want to talk about the future, his or mine. While I, and everyone around him followed his lead, I don't think I will do that again, certainly not with someone close to me.
James and I often talked and joked about death. When he'd scrunch up his face at the vegetables I'd put on his plate, I'd say, "You're going to miss these when I'm gone." Because of James' Indian heritage and his West Texas upbringing, his attitude about death was practical and straightforward. "When my time comes," he'd say, "Just throw me in the canyon and be done with me," a reference to the days when the Indians broke camp and moved on. It was not uncommon to leave the old and infirm behind so they wouldn't slow down the rest of the tribe.
Fear dictates our feelings about a lot of things, especially death and dying. I've already realized my biggest fears—James is gone and I've had cancer—so death holds no fear for me. For those who may be thinking about stopping treatment, it doesn't mean you're not a survivor. Like "The Carcinista," part of surviving is deciding how to live and how to die, what's best for you and your quality of life. For those of you who know someone who's dying, at least for now, they are still among the living. While you may be uncomfortable about their impending death, please don't ignore them. Don't be afraid to tell them what they've meant to you, what you will remember about them. It's OK to say "I'm heartbroken," or "I don't know what to say," or "What can I do for you and your family?" And so what if you cry? Big wup! At least they will know you care.
Last week Oprah said something that echoed Drew Faust's book: "Every death is a wakeup call to live more fully, more completely and more presently." Let us not miss an opportunity to live our lives and in the process, I hope we learn to fear death less.

Scientific Writing Teachers and Students: Two new lists in scientific writing are open to anyone with interest in scientific or technical writing ------------------------------------------------------------------------- EST-L: Teachers of English for Science and Technology * This is an unmoderated discussion list designed for teachers of English * for Science and Technology (EST). EST-SL: Students of English for Science and Technology * This list is where students of EST can go for help with scientific * writing. Teachers from EST-L will be lurking here. ===================================================================== Description: EST-L and EST-SL EST-L is an open, unmoderated discussion list related to the teaching of scientific and technical writing. It can be considered a "virtual teacher's lounge" for EST teachers. To subscribe to EST-L send the message: subscribe est-l [First Name] [Last Name] to: listserv at asuvm.inre.asu.edu I encourage teachers on EST-L to join EST-SL, the student list. In this way, you will provide an interactive resource for other scientific writers. You and your students can subscribe to EST-SL by sending the command: subscribe est-sl [First Name] [Last Name] to: listserv at asuvm.inre.asu.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------- Rationale: English is the "lingua franca" of the worldwide scientific community today. In most cases, a scientist is unable to publish his findings internationally unless he can do it in English. This contemporary reality has inspired me to look for ways to improve the writing ability of students for whom English is not a native language. The goal of EST-L is to provide a list where EST teachers can discuss teaching resources and strategies. The goal of EST-SL is to provide an interactive resource for EST students from around the world. Questions, comments and suggestions are always welcome. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Roy Bowers (list-owner) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Academic Coordinator - Ph.D. Program Center for Biological Research La Paz, B.C.S. 23000, MEXICO rbowers at cibnor.conacyt.mx bowers at redvax1.dgsca.unam.mx

Instagram Backtracks On Algorithm Change, For Now
If you used Instagram over the weekend you would have noticed accounts posting "Turn On Notification" images to try and bypass Instagram's latest algorithm change. Turns out everyone can calm down, with Instagram announcing it won't be changing the feed right now.
Last week, the photo app announced it would switch from a chronological order of photos to an algorithm-based approach similar to Facebook's News Feed and Twitter's latest changes to its Timeline. Instagram took to Twitter, to try and reassure users about the changes:
We're listening and we assure you nothing is changing with your feed right now. We promise to let you know when changes roll out broadly.
— Instagram (@instagram) March 28, 2016
Despite Instagram saying the change would roll out in the coming months, over the weekend thousands of accounts posted this:
Understandably people were annoyed by the changes and the 'notifications' posts:
#instagram #instagramupdate #postnotifications

There's been a bit of a hiatus since the last one of these, but finally another Korean Film Festival in Los Angeles (KOFFLA) is in the works. It's gotten bigger, promising to showcase over 70 films (I think the 70 must include the shorts, because I don't count 70 features on the schedule). Screenings take place in various theaters around town, so you kind of have to look at the schedule and figure out where you're supposed to go for what. Can anyone tell me where the Beverly Music Hall is? A lot of the screenings are scheduled to be there.
Among the interesting folks on the festival's advisory board are Park Chan Wook (Oldboy, among others) and Kang Je Gyu (Tae Guk Gi, Shiri). Actors Kim Jeong Eun (Lovers in Paris) and Jin Goo (Mother) are scheduled to attend the opening night film Le Grand Chef II: Kimchi War, in which they also star. No word on whether kimchee will be provided at the screening or whether it's BYOK… Okay, yes, I'm joking about bringing kimchee, although I can recommend several Korean markets where you can pick some up (starting a kimchee war at the screening is not recommended). 🙂
On Friday, March 5, there's a surprise screening, and the ActorFest on Saturday the 6th also sounds fun. Actually, most of the events sound pretty cool.
The festival runs from March 4-7, 2010. Its website, including the schedule and info on becoming a sponsor or volunteer or Facebook friend, can be found here. I might consider volunteering, except I don't speak Korean, and I'm thinking that could be a problem.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution has re-signed goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth to a new contract. Per club policy, further terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"We're pleased Bobby has decided to re-sign and continue his career in New England," Revolution general manager Michael Burns said. "Bobby is a player who's made great progress as a goalkeeper during his time here and we believe his improvement will continue as he competes for regular first-team minutes."
Shuttleworth, 25, has made 22 appearances since 2010, including 21 starts. So far this year, he has started two games, posting a 1.00 goals against average. In 2011 and 2012, he made seven starts each season and closed out the season as the starting goalkeeper both years. Last year, his 0.71 goals against average was the lowest GAA among back-up goalkeepers with at least three starts. He has four career shutouts.
The Revolution signed Shuttleworth on June 18, 2009, on a free transfer from the Austin Aztex of the United Soccer Leagues. He played three seasons at the University of Buffalo, where he had a 20-7-7 career record and a career GAA of 0.80.

Transfer news: Gonzalo Higuain backed to emulate Robin van Persie by Ossie Ardiles
Gonzalo Higuain can have the same impact on the Premier League as Robin van Persie, according to Ossie Ardiles.
By Andres Garavaglia
Last Updated: 01/07/13 4:56pm
Real Madrid and Argentina international striker Higuain is widely expected to make the move to England this summer, with Arsenal reported to be on course to secure his signature.
The Gunners saw star striker Van Persie depart for Manchester United last summer and could then only look on as his goals fired the Red Devils to the Premier League title.
Argentina legend Ardiles believes that his fellow countryman can immediately make his mark in England's top division, should he make the move to Emirates Stadium.
The former Tottenham boss said: "Van Persie is a super player, one of my favourites and one of the best in the Premier League last season, along with Gareth Bale.
"Can Higuain be as good as Van Persie? Of course he can, that's how good Higuain is.
"You remember when Van Persie arrived he was not exactly, immediately, the best player, it took a bit of time. But he was younger, now Higuain is much more experienced.
"Higuain is a top player. He will always score goals. He likes to be in the box all the time and he works hard for his team, wherever he goes he's going to be great for the team he's joining."

The key to beautiful wedding photos
Looking good in your wedding photos isn't about elaborate hair and makeup or stunning backdrops, it's about being relaxed, says wedding photographer Graham Monro.
"If you allow ample time to chill then you get the best photos because people are having fun and being natural and interacting," says Monro, who is behind gm photographics.
Doing a trial run to see how you photograph is also a good idea.
"A lot of the time people have never been photographed before a wedding, a pre-wedding engagement shoot is a great way to see how you photograph.
"You can look at magazines and see how celebrities and models stand on the red carpet, there are certain ways of standing that makes your body look better."
Let your photographer know what you want and find photos that are a similar style to use as examples.
"People tell me what they don't like, well, why bother talking about that, tell me what you like ... tell me about the feeling you want, tell me about the colours," Monro says.
While many brides dread rain on their wedding day, clouds actually give photographers a nice soft light to work with.
"Everybody wishes for a bright blue sky but we wish for skies with dappled clouds to give more shadowed light as well," Monro says.
"An overcast day is the best for photos because you can shoot every which way without being in direct sun and having really harsh shadows."

Y-Combinator cofounder Paul Graham sent out a letter to all the CEOs in his portfolio companies, warning them that because of the poor performance of the Facebook IPO, "bad times" may be ahead.
He said that it could make fundraising harder, and that it will cause some spend-happy startups to be "hosed."
Here's the thing, though: fundraising has always been hard, and spend-happy startups will always be the first ones to crash and burn.
And, the fact is, the Facebook IPO – despite the stock's performance since – is actually going to make startup fundraising even more frothy in the Valley.
There are two reasons why.
- The first: Facebook is a ~$60 billion company, created in under 10 years, thanks to hard work and the Silicon Valley startup funding system. It's a huge neon sign of success that will attract new money and new entrepreneurs, not a failure that will keep it out.
- The second: The Facebook IPO itself actually performed WONDERFULLY for Facebook insiders and investors.
It raised $16 billion for Silicon Valley!
$6 billion of that went to Facebook, which will use some of it to continue acquiring startups at a fast rate. That means more healthy exits to keep investors optimistic.
The other $10 billion went to employees and Facebook investors.
Many top executives will use that money to invest in startups. Already, one of them, Chamath Palihapitiya, has founded a VC firm that will invest most of its money on startups built on top of Facebook's "social graph." Dozens of other Facebook employees have already become active angel investors.
Facebook's VCs will return much of their share of that $10 billion to limited partners – College endowments, pension funds, etc – and the people running those things will say: "HOLY MOLY, more returns like that, please!" and they will re-invest in Silicon Valley venture.
The performance of Facebook's stock since the IPO will change the course of some Silicon Valley companies, mostly later stage companies facing some of the same choices Facebook did for the past couple years: should they IPO (scarier, now), should they increase monetization efforts (yes!), should they say yes to Google's big offer (yes). Twitter, for example, is now looking less like a long term independent company, and more like an acquisition target for Google or maybe even Microsoft.

The Avery Construction Site is a location featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
The site is a construction project for an office building being developed by Avery Construction, the real estate company owned by Texan magnate Avery Carrington. The site is located in Vice Point, behind the Tooled Up. Carrington personally manages the site while he stays in Vice City, setting up a makeshift office in his black Stretch. It is from this limo in the site that Carrington gives all his missions to Tommy Vercetti.
After the mission Demolition Man, the site is expanded when Carrington purchases another development across the street from his, after Vercetti destroys the building that had been undergoing construction in the adjacent site and Carrington is able to purchase it at a reduced cost.

I'm not having a very good day so I thought I would blog & take pretty pictures to make myself feel better. And of course get my mind off things.
I ordered these shoes a few weeks ago from JCPenney and they finally came in and I'm SO excited to share them with you!
I can think of so many cute outfits to wear these with I can't wait to style them. :)
Unfortunately they are not Sperry's but they're just as cute if not cuter.
With a price tag of $25 I couldn't pass them up.
The shoes look like they're bronze in the photo, but they're actually silver glitter.
Here's my want-list from Charlotte Russe
I really, really, really want a fedora hat.
I would have liked when before we went to the beach but I'm sure I'll be able to find one.
I love the bow on the back of these fedora and it's only $9.50
I absolutely adore these flats. I LOVE them!
I'm considering ordering these.
These are $22.50
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a good day.
Does any one else make Wish Lists like I did?

"If κ1 Ceti truly is a good example of what the sun was like in its youth, then the evolutionary view of life on earth may be in trouble."
NO. I don't think so. Scientists DON'T think Earth had life from 'year 1'. And surely it would make more sense - if our Sun was specially and recently created as Faulkner would claim - for κ1 Ceti NOT to look like it 'EVOLVED' without any God designing anything (as it rather does with its observed magnetic instability making more life difficult on any orbiting planets).
It's beginning to look a bit like YECs are claiming deliberate design for OUR (unusual?) Sun and Solar System ONLY ... (The only one the Bible says much about.)
Whereas things seem to be pretty bleak elsewhere - even around Suns of similar size to our star: http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.03937

I still see the glass as half full too, but this is probably the most pessimistic that I've been with this line in over a decade. I really think Hasbro has made some serious blunders over the past year. They made so many ill advised decisions this past year, I really hope they have learned from their numerous mistakes.
I think, and I could be wrong, that when Hasbro says it isn't selling it's because there are mountains of product in their warehouses that stores aren't bringing in, due to slow sales at retail. The line moves at retail, but I don't know if it does enough. A good comparison is Clone Wars - around here, CW goes through 2-3 cases for every one of Legacy.I see all the doom and gloom, too, and like I said in another thread, I prefer to see the glass half full. Like you said, we're getting lots of great stuff this year - vintage, Jabba, the AT AT - if it's near the end, it's been a good run.
I'm officially starting to buy into a state of uncertainty when it come to the basic figure line. I certainly hope it's years before the plug is pulled, but all the same I'll be happy with less product each year.
Yeah, if it does die it we all have to admit it was a helluva run from 1995-at least 2012. We are all going to die in 2012 anyway

Is this some kind of joke? None of these alternatives have anything to do with the health of the economy. That is why the GDP has stuck around. It is the best measure for checking our economy.
You can use the others to measure how we are "killing the planet", but they have nothing to do with the health of the economy. Well other than the fact that if we were to switch to them, regardless of what the indicators actually indicate, the economy would be in the toilet for good.
