-- Robert Preidt
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 23 (HealthDay News) -- A new drug called
denosumab (Xgeva) performed somewhat better than the current
standard treatment of zoledronic acid (Zometa) for preventing
fractures and other bone problems in men with hormone-resistant
prostate cancer, a new study suggests.
In many patients, prostate cancer becomes resistant to initial
hormone treatment within the first few years of diagnosis. As a
result, tumors begin to grow again and spread to other parts of the
body, including bones. This increases the risk of fractures and
other bone problems that cause pain and disability, which can
greatly reduce a man's quality of life, according to background
information in the study.
Helping to prevent these bone troubles can prove very important
to these patients, one expert said.
"The successful treatment of osteoporosis, bone pain, and complications of advanced boney disease in men with [castration]-resistant prostate cancer will increase their quality of life considerably," noted Dr. Elizabeth Kavaler, a urology specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. She was not involved in the new study.
The research, which was funded by Xgeva's maker, Amgen, was led
by Dr. Karim Fizazi of the University of Paris Sud, in France, and
included more than 1,900 men. The men were treated for
hormone-resistant prostate cancer at 342 centers in 39 countries.
They were randomly assigned to receive either 120 milligrams of
denosumab, delivered subcutaneously (needle just under the skin)
plus an intravenous placebo (950 patients) or 4 milligrams of IV
zoledronic acid plus IV placebo (951 patients), given every four
All the patients were advised to take supplemental calcium and
vitamin D to help strengthen their bones. This advice was followed
by 90 percent of patients in the denosumab group and 87 percent of
those in the zoledronic acid group.
The median time to the first bone problems was just under 21
months in the denosumab group and a little more than 17 months in
the zoledronic acid group.
Overall, bone problems occurred in 36 percent of patients who
took denosumab and 41 percent of those who took zoledronic
"The 5 percent reduction in skeletal related events, including pathologic fractures and spinal cord compression, seen in the denosumab group versus the zoledronic acid group is very encouraging," Kavaler said. "This is a difficult patient population in that their symptoms related to bone metastases can be debilitating."
Serious adverse events were recorded in 63 percent of patients
in the denosumab group and 60 percent of those in the zoledronic
acid group.
Of the adverse events most likely related to the treatments,
hypocalcaemia (very low calcium concentrations) occurred in 13
percent of patients taking denosumab and in 6 percent of those
taking zoledronic acid, while osteonecrosis of the jaw (a
debilitating destruction of bone tissue) occurred in 2 percent of
the denosumab group and 1 percent of the zoledronic acid group.
The study appears online Feb. 24 in the journal
The Lancet.

Praise Song to Stone:
For My Father
Praise sternum
cracked like mica after
truck's impact
Praise teeth in
lower jaw sheared clean as
marble rushing
down his throat
Praise ghosts watching from
behind granite graves across
the street at the Rosebud Cemetery
Praise body arched like
sandstone illuminated by
headlights as it flashes through air
before landing on the other side
Praise dust that surges
as he hits earth
scatters like crows and disappears
quick as the car's driver
into the pre-dawn
Praise the crack of vertebrae as it slips
like a fault line
the schism of spine that cleaves
like feldspar
Flecks of shale that glint like witness
embedded in his side
Praise the cleavage of ribs
jagged as a saw
as they pierce through lung tissue
Praise the lungs
Praise the ghost who leans over his
body gentle as breeze through muslin curtain
shouts through gurgle of jugular Go away. This graveyard is full.
Praise the dead
Praise blood
slow as lava
beating from skull
onto the road's shoulder
Praise gravel
warm and full as
a mosquito
Praise the blood
Praise the quartz crystal
in the man's cell phone
who stopped his car
dialed 9-1-1
covered my father with a blanket
Praise the diamond
the size of a tear
on the wedding band of
the doctor who declared
He might live
even after the machines
confessed there was no brain activity
Praise mercy
Praise the heart of red jasper
that stopped beating
and beat again
that stopped beating
and beat again
inside the helicopter
as it buzzed over the valley
Praise diamond edge
of the scalpel as it
slices skin like silk
to fit bone back inside

Praise the bone
Praise the arm
Praise the ghosts of children
who played hopscotch
on the beige tiles of intensive care room
who laughed because of impossibility
And praise the living
Praise the living
Praise the living
This marvel of bone
revelation of marrow
awe of skin that knits
itself back together
Praise this miracle of the quick and the dead

It was Saturday, and I had been up since 4:30 in the morning. After a long week at work, I was bit grouchy about the whole getting-in-the-car-for-a-seven-hour-drive thing. Looking ahead to a long, uneventful stretch of road between the Bay Area and Los Angeles, I was feeling a bit sorry for myself.
Then the sun rose up through the haze, and I got a bit of the sublime on that early morning drive. It made me forget I wanted a second cup of coffee. Well…almost.

That Protestants are really tough and gutsy. Here's why.
Two people are crossing a desert on foot. One of them packs plenty of water and supplies and goes with a group that knows the way. The other crosses alone, with just a little water and a little food.
The first one is a Catholic, who can count on the Eucharist (1 Kings 19:3-8) and Confession for sustenance and strength on the journey, and who has the Church for guide and support in interpreting the faith and the Scriptures.
The second is a Protestant, who has Baptism, grace, and contact with God in prayer (Catholics have all that too), but is essentially left alone in discovering the meaning of what we read in the Bible.
Both have good will, both are on the right track, both can get there. But it takes a lot of guts to choose to be the second one. I, for one, certainly wouldn't. Call me a wimp if you will.
God bless you!

The Wesleyan Wolves are champions again, and for the sixth consecutive season it wasn't even close.
Wesleyan got 28 points from Katie Frerking and routed second-ranked Laney 76-43 in the Class AA final Friday at the Macon Centreplex to become the second girls basketball team in state history to win six straight championships, matching Hart County's streak from 1989-1994. It was the ninth title in 10 seasons for the Wolves and the 10th in 12 years.
"Every time we come here it seems like the first time," Wesleyan coach Jan Azar said. "There's nerves, and everybody's excited. One of my freshmen came in this morning and said, 'Coach Azar, it's my first state championship game.' That just reminded me that for some of these kids it's their first, and for the majority of them it's their first time contributing to a state championship. They've sat and waited their turn, and it was their turn today."
During the Wolves' current six-year run, no state final has been closer than 16 points and the average margin of victory has been 29. But Laney (30-1), which entered Friday's game as the state's only undefeated girls team in any classification, appeared it could make a game of it, especially early.
The Wildcats trailed 19-10 at the end of the first quarter but outscored Wesleyan 15-6 over the next seven minutes to tie the game 25-25 on a put-back by Wynetta Wright with 44 seconds to play in the half.
It was all Wesleyan (28-4) after that. The Wolves scored the final five points of the first half and then outscored Laney 46-18 the rest of the way.
Frerking dominated as top-ranked Wesleyan pulled away. She scored 20 points in the second half and broke the school record for points in a season with 653, two more than Anne-Marie Armstrong had in the 2006-2007 season.
"She decided at halftime that this was it, and it was either now or never," Azar said. "She was getting banged around a lot, and she had to decide if she was going to worry about getting banged around or if she was going to take home the state championship. She decided to take home the state championship."
Wesleyan guard Brittany Stevens had 14 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds and three steals, and Paige Mosely had 11 points.
Khadijiah Cave led Laney with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
Laney (43): Destiny Brewton 4, Aliyah Collier 7, Simone Smith 8, Kjadijiah Cave 10, Monteria Harris 2, Wynetta Wright 9, Natarea Tanksley 3, Gemiya Bowman, Jazzmine Youngblood, Johna Whitehead, Jonkota Samuels, Donecia Hudson, LaTonya Smith, Albreona Collier, Jasmine Holman.
Wesleyan (76): Katie Frerking 28, Brittany Stevens 14, Landyn Duley 5, Keevana Edwards 4, Paige Mosley 11, Lauren Frerking 3, Cairo Booker 3, Nikki McDonald 5, Cara Mia Tsirigos 3, Hope Morgan, Kayla Pierce, Taylor Casey, Kendra Talley.

When will GHSA level the playing field and move all private schools into their own tournament? Private schools will always have an unfair advantage over the public schools due to no limitations on recruiting players.

They did it for A. I don't know what's stopping them from doing it for the rest of the classes.

This group of seniors have been playing together for 6years. You think they were recruited in 7th grade? It is called good coaching and good kids!
March 9th, 2013

It's a shame that the bracket had Wesleyan and Calhoun playing in the 3rd round. That was the only semi-competitive game Wesleyan had in the state tournament. Sometimes, getting to a state championship is the luck of the draw in who you face and when.
March 9th, 2013
12:13 pm
There is no doubt Wesleyan has great players. I could coach them to a state championship year in and year out if i could get a group of players who play together in Middle School, summer leagues, basketball camps, etc. The kids and the parents know each other for years and they plan to keep theirs kids together for those championships and scholarship opportunities. In a counties where there are more than 1 high school, the kids come from several different middle schools with different coaching philosophies and it will take a year or two to get that team chemistry that's required for championships. There should not be blow outs of 30 points or more in championship games. We will not have competitives games until the current policies are changed. This situation is almost like GA State playing UGA in football.
March 9th, 2013
1:54 pm
Tom, you are right on point with your comments!
March 9th, 2013
3:26 pm
Tom, perhaps in those places where several middle schools feed into one high school, the coaches should get together an figure out a path and coaching program that complements the eventual high school program.
And just because Wesleyan has an excellent – stellar – record with the girls' basketball program, the school isn't getting state cahmpionships in all sports. Funny how GHSA set the cutoff for AA just under Wesleyan's high-school population, forcing the school out of the A-Private class into AA.
What I see as a huge difference: the encouragement and expectation by the school that all students will compete in some endeavor. At Wesleyan, that means a lot more of the girls are participating in sports compared to public schools (and some private schools, too).
Instead of whining about what other teams have, work on finding a solution. Just saying …
March 10th, 2013
11:40 am
Apparently there are observers who do not believe the public high schools recruit. Some do and always have, so the playing field is level apart from the ability to produce superior facilities at the private schools.
Perhaps the day will come when the public schools produce champions – oh wait, the previous team to win 6 years in a row was Hart County less than 20 years ago. Were all of you complaining about Hart County then?
What are the participation levels at public schools? I understand Wesleyan not only encourages year round participation in extra curricular activities but gives awards to students who participate in each season of the year. Participation can be in sports or in theater or other school sponsored activites.
I also see the Norcross boys won another championship. I have not counted but this becoming routine at Norcross and the school is directly across the street from Wesleyan. Perhaps the secret is in the water, the fresh air or the availability of fresh vegetables – OR MAYBE THE SUCCESS IS A TRIBUTE TO HARD WORK!

@TOM and pomoney,
Love the public private fight here.
( #1) the public school head coach has to get all the middle schools in line. Yes that means bring in the coaches (who think they are the next bob knight's) and show them how you coach the o-side and the d-side. You have to spend time with them stroke the ego. This goes in the all sports. That is a school system problem if they don't comply. Less time later teaching and more time coaching at the high school level. Heck Wesleyan runs the same inbound plays in 6th grade.
( #2) bring in the players ! Since all will be going to that high school open the BIG GYM for them. Little players and coaches will work harder when the prize is more tangible for them. Free mini camps like one day kinda of thing so selling the summer camp won't be that hard. Make them feel wanted when they are in 5th grade. Some private high schools have grade schools so they are indoctrinated at a young age. They are focus on the high school prize at a very young age. Sell the program to the parents now!
#(3) Don't make middle school games rivalries so when it comes time to mix at the high school there is not the animosity in place and bad feelings that would hinder the 8th grade or 9th grade teams going forward as one. Mostly parents are to blame here they love to talk someone down.
#(4) Real life lesson is that the private school kids have more time to focus on sports. Less distractions in classroom, working jobs, ability to go to sports camps give them a half step lead. Their community is already focused and achieving is the goal that they set. Expectations are higher.
(#5) Without trying to sound funny all are not created equal if you sit around and moan about others success well there is a political party that wants everyone to be equal. It is not going be happen everyone can not win or tie so if you want to be a winner push the your high school coach to this blog and read the free advice. If he or she doesn't do it fire them, if you can't you better move to another school district if you want to be a winner. Good Luck !

Just the facts-Wesleyan continues to dominate because of coaching- with all due respect to Coach Smart- with that talent level- no way should he have lost that bad.
Wesleyan at AA would have dominated every team at every level with the exception of North Gwinnett and Norcross at 6A which would have been fun to watch. Why, good coaching!
Wesleyan's only losses came from top nationally ranked teams out of state. They go look for better compitition to improve. The school starts at young ages. Calhoun was the best coached team but not quit as deep.
GAC boys is another great example of exceptional coaching and Norcross boys and girls.
The trend will continue- great coaches attrack better players who want to play at the next level.
How can a school with 400 total students in High school half girls, continually wear out schools with over 1000 girls to choose from?
Why at every level of sports from NCAA to NFL, to GHSA to professional poker- the best continue to rise to the top? Always the same names appear.
A comedian once said of continueing to send money to an impoverished, starving, no rain in a hundred years part of the world to feed the poor- MOVE!!!! Send them U-hauls not money!
If the same was with academics instead of Sports you would move- You have choices in life!
That's why the cream rises- they do what others are afraid of doing.
The result for hooking up with coaches like Jan Azar and her staff- UGA, Auburn, Pepperdine, Furman, Indiana, Presbyterian, Wofford, Samford, College of Charleston etc………..

About the Book
Hi. I see you're reading the back of my book. This tells me that you either:
A) are hoping to find a brief summary of what to expect from a how-to book by Sterling Archer, the world's greatest secret agent, or B) don't know how books work.
If your answer was "A," your best bet is probably the table ofcontents, which is where you'll find the "contents" of this booklisted in a convenient, easy-to-read "table" format. So maybe gocheck that out for a minute and then come back here. I'll wait. . . .
Pretty cool, right? What other book will teach you how to dressproperly and how to drive an elephant? How to field strip an AK-47and how to haggle with a Thai prostitute—in her native tongue?How to pilot an airboat and how to make about a million deliciouscocktails, including a Molotov one? How to kill a guy and how toprepare a fabulous brunch? Plus how to do tons of other stuff thatI forgot, but that is nonetheless probably in this book (which, to behonest, I really only kinda skimmed).
So if you want to learn more about how to be more—or at all—likeSterling Archer, the world's greatest secret agent, quit smearing yourgreasy fingerprints all over this book and buy it. For one thing, I reallyneed the royalties. For another thing, the last time I checked, thiswasn't a damn library.
(Note: If your answer was "B," this probably isn't the book you want to start with.)

If you have read more than a few of my "App of the Week" picks, you'll most likely guess I'm into photography. I love to pull out a camera anytime I can, and the old saying that "the best camera is the one you have with you" is true. When I use a DSLR, I take my shots and then process them in a variety of software packages – Lightroom, Aperture, and Photoshop etc. One software package I use, as a plugin inside all of those, is the Nik Software Complete Collection. Their software is nothing short of amazing, and if you use any of the photo processing software I mentioned I suggest you try their trial versions. You'll end up buying the stuff. The problem is, sometimes the camera I have with me is the iPhone. Sometimes I just want to take a photo and post it online or email it to someone. That's where today's pick come in…

It's amazing what you can get for free.
There are so many services for smart-phone users today that offer free apps. Games, social media, or reference, there's an app for almost anything. But live TV on your phone? My cable bill costs more than my first car payment, and the car payment ended after 4 years. But now, you can get live TV on your hip…. free (well, nothing is totally free, as you will see below)!
Keeping up on news and trends has changed. Today you find news on Twitter, or Google+, but CNN is is still a staple in broadcast news. CNN has released an app, available for Android and iOS, that brings the cable news station to you, wherever you are.
Watch your favorite CNN shows, watch CNN TV live – 24/7 with video coverage of live events and video clips, or become the reporter by recording and submitting video or photo iReports. CNN's app even ties in with the major social media tools to let you share stories via e-mail, SMS, Twitter and Facebook.
So what's the catch?

When I looked at the Android Market this week I saw today's pick, and I could not believe the ratings. StarDunk from Godzilab is game for both Android and iOS. They claim more than 4 millions downloads on iOS, and the Android Market shows between 500,000 and 1,000,000. That's a ton of players!
Think Basketball in space. Stardunk is a multiplayer, online basketball game where you play against players from around the world, in realtime. It has a bonus system, awards, unlock-able balls (each with different capacities), and killer performance. 60 FPS on the iPhone 3GS and iPod 3rd gen with enhanced graphics and next-gen shaders. The only question is can you get to the top of the global leader-board.
StarDunk is free, and is available for iOS in the iTunes App Store where it has 4 stars from 15584 ratings! Android users can hit the Android Market where StarDunk has 4.7 stars from 8447 ratings.

This week's pick is the latest, greatest, most amazing, spectacular… ah screw it. It's just another social media thing. Google+ is Google's latest entry into the social media arena, and this time I think they have succeeded. Google+ is still in a closed, invite only BETA, but if you know someone with an account they can send you an invite. As of this post, the people I have sent invites to have been able to get in instantly.
Social media sites can be hard to explain. Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Buzz, and the list goes on with names that did not survive. Let's start with this:

Today's app may be one of the hardest I have ever tried to explain. Let's start here… this app is a must have! When I first heard about it I thought "No Way". After using it the first time I thought "*$%# Yeah!" SynthCam is the product of Stanford University Professor Marc Levoy. As a Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering you would expect him to be smart, and based this concept I can't wait to see what else he comes up with. Let me explain the two main reasons why this app is needed.

If you have followed my App of the Week posts, then you know I love apps. I am constantly checking to see what new toys, or tools are available. The problem is that hundreds of apps are released every day. That makes finding "good" new apps a pain. Today's app makes that easier. AppShopper is an app developed by the website of the same name – AppShopper.com.
AppShopper is a one-stop shop for everything iOS app. If you own an iPhone, or iPad…

I love movies. Actually, I love good movies – that's where the hard part comes in. Finding "good" movies. We all hear the critics reviews, and we have critics we tend to agree with, but sometimes they are just plain wrong. Today's app is great for finding good movies, and a lot more.
Movies by Flixster is a mobile app available for virtual any major mobile platform – along with being a full web service. Depending on your mobile platform the app offers different features. For example, iPhone users get access to rent or buy movies on iTunes. I give a lot of credit to Flixster for not just porting the same app to all platforms. It at least seems they really developed each version specifically for that platform.
So what can you use this app for?

There are tons of weather apps out there, and Apple even includes a weak one with the iPhone. I do use the Apple app when I need a quick weather summary, but it's not enough data when I really need a weather report. For the more serious weather info you can try WeatherBug, but it's too much info sometimes. The problem with both these apps, and most of the others available, is that they follow the standard today/tonight weather model. Most of the time that's fine, but as I'll explain, not always.

Today I have an iPhone / iPad photography app called TiltShift Generator from Art and Mobile. If you have never heard of Tilt-Shift photography, it refers to using a type of lens that allows itself to be tilted or shifted. This tilt, or shift, changes how the lens aligns to the camera sensor. Why? Perspective control. Have you ever photographed a tall building? The buildings seem to bend, but with a tilt-shift lens a photographer can correct that effect – required for an architecture magazine. But there is another use for this type of lens… Fake Miniatures. A quick flickr search shows lots of examples.
By allowing you to control saturation, and selective focus, this app lets you simulate a tilt-shift miniature effect. The photo above is an example (but not a very good one) of the TiltShift Gen app used on a photo taken from the balcony of Disneyland's private Club 33. Here is the original:

On that frigid afternoon in Foxborough, Rice rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns, carrying the Ravens offense and their hobbled quarterback, Joe Flacco, to a stunning wild-card win.
After running through defenses during four straight 1,000-yard seasons, Rice has met resistance in postseason play. With opponents keying in on Rice and daring Flacco to beat them, the three-time Pro Bowl running back has not duplicated the individual production that he had in the upset of the Patriots three years ago, though he says team success is much more significant.
"You play the regular season, that's what you get paid for," he said Tuesday. "But in the playoffs, you are building a legacy. Obviously, I want to be a guy that's remembered for his playoff play."
Rice will get his next opportunity to add to his legacy in Saturday's divisional playoff at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The Denver Broncos are ranked third in the NFL in rushing defense, allowing 91.1 rushing yards per game. They also forced 20 fumbles during the regular season, tied for fifth in the NFL.
Before rushing for 70 yards in Sunday's 24-9 win over the Colts, Rice had averaged fewer than four yards per carry in each of his previous four playoff games.
Rice has rushed for 514 yards on 122 postseason carries, and on running plays other than that tone-setting, 83-yard touchdown run in January 2010, he has averaged just 3.6 yards per carry.
"[The] playoffs are not about stats. [The] playoffs, for me, are about winning games," said Rice, who averaged 55.3 rushing yards in the team's last three postseason losses.
Rice averaged 4.7 yards per carry against the Colts and added a 47-yard reception on a screen play. But after the game, as productive backup running back Bernard Pierce changed clothes within earshot, Rice got defensive when a reporter uttered an unwelcome F-word in one of his questions.
"I'm not a fumbler. You guys know that, and that'll be the last time I address me fumbling," he said.
But because Rice coughed the ball up in the first quarter and then again in the fourth — and after coach John Harbaugh mostly relied on Pierce to run out the clock — pointed questions popped up again Tuesday.
After initially scoffing at one, Rice vowed to "be smarter" when trying to bust a big play.
"That's not like him, so I know he'll get that right and get that fixed," said Pro Bowl fullback Vonta Leach, adding that Rice, who takes great pride in his ball security, "beat himself up about it a little bit."
In his five regular seasons, Rice has fumbled just seven times — an average of once every 218 touches. But after Sunday, the 25-year-old is averaging one fumble every 30 touches in the playoffs. The opposing defense has recovered four of Rice's five postseason fumbles.
The most notorious of the bunch came at Heinz Field during the 2010 playoffs. His fumble after a five-yard catch swung the momentum as the Pittsburgh Steelers erased a two-touchdown deficit to stun the Ravens.
The defense twice bailed out Rice on Sunday, not letting the Colts score on either lost fumble.
"He was trying probably too hard to make a play and trying to create, like Ray does," Harbaugh said. "[He was] probably trying to do a little more than he needed to do, and the ball got away from his body, and he exposed it a little bit. He knew that right away coming off the field."
Those two fumbles aside, the Ravens rushing attack has been effective since the Ravens rushed for just 56 yards in a 34-17 loss to the Broncos at M&T Bank Stadium in Week 15.

We know finding the funding to attend high-impact, deep-learning events – like NACCE's Annual Conference – can be a challenge. We recently asked several members how they've leveraged special programs to support their professional development.
Christine Mollenkopf-Pigsley of Dakota County Technical College in Rosemount, Minnesota, reminds us that professional development is one of the nine federally required components for Perkins IV Funds. To cite the federal requirements, funds must be set aside to:
provide in-service and pre-service professional development programs to teachers, faculty, administrators, and career guidance and academic counselors who are involved in integrated CTE programs. Topics include effective integration of academics and CTE effective teaching skills based on research, effective practices to improve parental and community involvement, effective use of scientifically based research and data to improve instruction.
So bring a team to NACCE2013 this October 13-16 in Charlotte, North Carolina, where you'll have access to cutting-edge information on infusing entrepreneurship into existing programs and meeting the needs of future entrepreneurs in your CTE program.
Christian Lagarde of Nunez Community College in New Orleans, Louisiana, included travel and registration in his successfully funded 2012 Department of Labor TAACCCT proposal. Christian attributes the information he gained at the conference – along with the overwhelming amount of support and guidance from fellow attendees – to his ability to rapidly launch entrepreneurial programming as part of his overall project.
Help your college meet its goals for on-campus initiatives such as Perkins and TAACCCT by registering for the nation's premierprofessional development event in entrepreneurship education: NACCE2013.
Has your college used the NACCE Annual Conference as professional development for other programs? Let us know, and we'll send you aspecial gift card as our way of saying thanks for sharing your ideas with other members!

Here's some take-home advice for clients with textured hair.
Wave and Color
"A trend I'm seeing for spring is waves that are softer and more refined," says celebrity stylist George Papanikolas, who uses and represents Joico. "Clients with curl who want color will be asking for baliaged highlights, painted freehand. The added dimension is a perfect complement to soft waves.
To create the toned down look on naturally curly or texturized hair, Papanikolas starts with air-dried hair, then uses a round brush gently at the hairline only, before spraying hair with flexible hold hair spray. He wraps two-inch-sections around a one-inch iron, twisting the hair. After setting the hair and lightly brushing out "crispness," he scrunches in a shiny pomade or forming polish to add glossy texture.
Curl Touch-Ups
Many textured hair types are erratic, with a variety of curl and wave sizes and shapes on one head. To create soft, consistent, natural-looking curl patterns, try this technique from Pureology PureArtist Mary Katherine Hecht: Apply a light, cream-based product with anti-humidity properties to damp hair. Blow dry with a diffuser to remove all moisture. Use a few curling irons in various sizes to refresh and reshape curls where needed. Finish with a silicone-based styler and shine-enhancing spray to control frizz.
Leave it Alone
Leave-in conditioners are ideal for textured hair—they offer moisture, control frizz and flyaways and make strands manageable. When applying leave-ins, advises Dimitrios Tsioumas of Mizu Salon in New York City, make sure hair is consistently damp from scalp to ends. Apply the product and comb through with a wide-tooth comb. This will ensure the formula is evenly distributed. To create beautifully shaped, natural curls, follow the leave-in with a light gel designed for curls and use your fingers to break up and mold each curl as you work the styler into the hair. Then, hands off! Don't touch your hair again until it's completely dry to prevent frizz.
Quick Set
Want natural-looking ringlets in a hurry? Apply a rich, leave-in conditioner to damp hair, says Warren Tricomi Salon's Kaz Amor, then place all hair into three braids. After strands are dry (about 20-30 minutes) release the braids and arrange curls with your fingertips. This is especially great for kids, says Amor, who uses the technique on his five-year-old daughter.
Less and More
Curly hair benefits from less shampooing and more conditioning than straighter strands, says Rodney Cutler of Cutler Salon in New York City. It takes natural scalp oils longer to travel the length of a curly strand—and the longer the hair, the longer it takes—which means it's possible to over-shampoo and cause dryness. "Don't wash this hair type every day," Cutler advises. "On the 'off days,' wet it, apply conditioner and detangle hair with a wide-tooth comb in the shower." Never brush curly hair, he adds—doing so can cause breakage and frizz.
Humidity Busters
Because of the coiled structure of curly hair, the cuticles tend to be slightly opened. This allows moisture to penetrate, which leads to strand swelling, which equals frizz. "So the more moisture you use, the better it is for taming frizz," says Chaune Hurt-Fitzgerald of Salon Remedi in Washington. "Avoid products containing (drying) alcohols, which can actually be drying to the hair. Dry curly hair with a diffuser, which won't disturb strands as much as a blow dryer on full power, and 'push' the curls into place with your hands. Finish with a spray that locks out humidity and offers flexible hold."

I can't answer that question. I couldn't have explained to you why Atlanta became the site for the world's largest fishtank, or why it would be a puppetry nucleus, but it is, and that's that. When we heard the news that a pirate museum might move in near Centennial Olympic Park, my response was, "Wow." Then, "Of course."
Because, well, of course. Why am I surprised? We're already working on museums for everything else.
Centennial Olympic Park seems like the trendiest spot for a museum around here. It's already surrounded by the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca-Cola, the National Museum of Patriotism, CNN Center and Imagine It! The Children's Museum of Atlanta. There are plans to put the national health museum, the College Football Hall of Fame and the Center for Civil and Human Rights nearby.
A pirate museum could be fun, but offhand, I'm not seeing the Atlanta ties.
When I searched the AJC archive for "pirates," I got a plenty of returns — game photos from when the Atlanta plays Pittsburgh in baseball.
What do you think? Would you visit a pirate museum in Atlanta? Share your thoughts in the comments!

What a dumb idea. How much would really be in a pirate museum? And Hygoex, I didn't even know we had a Delta museum. You learn something new everyday.

Great idea!
In the Keys, (Pirate Soul) is great and is lots of fun for all ages. The Black beard animitronic is awesome, they have a Jack Sparrow that remarkably looks like Johnny Depp in that character, greeting and telling people about items, events from the heyday of those scallywags. If they had a restaurant people would hang out longer. People love Pirates, the mystery, freedom and anybody can be one.
It would be a great addition to Atlanta and be the greatest venue for tourists too.
Make it on a grand scale and people will come.
Is Dante's Down the Hatch still open at Underground? You could buy that ship or, well, you could partner with Dante's and expand the menu past Fondue style and move it to your place. Having a themed place to eat dinner and have a show is a lost art. If you did get Dante's to do it you would have to drop jazz as the main music and go to Pirate type songs and some theatrics.
I miss all the cool places my parents took me for dinner when I was a kid in the 60's. The Mai Kai in Fort Lauderdale still brings them in for a wonderful Polynesian dinner and show. You could actually make the Dante's ship an all day restaurant that changes with the time of day.
"Pirate's Breakfast", 2 eggs, Plundered, (scrambled), 2 Baked Dough Cakes smothered in Plank Grout, (biscuits and sawmill gravy), we are in the South you know. Shredded Musket Ball with Smothered Yellow Boot Sav and Smushed Scallywags sauce, (melted cheddar cheese and ketchup). With complementary Grog, (water or OJ). $6.99
(by the time they stop laughing the meal will be served)
"Captain's Dinner Feast",
"Soup of the Watch," Evening Clam Chowder in Bread Bowl, with Crusty Bird Crumbs.
(Clam chowder with oyster crackers.)
"1 Red/Orange Creature with Hard Shell from the Depths, Split wide Open and Grilled with Asides, Arhh."
(3 lbs., Caribbean Lobster, grilled with Butter and Garlic, Asparagus, and twice baked potato, loaded.
"Stuck on your Boot Green Slime Pie with Mad Bird Froth".
(Key Lime Pie and whipped cream).
Add water park, partner with Disney for Pirates of the Caribbean boat ride, museum tour, general gathering area with Pirate motif, gift shop and the Aquarium with want to buy you out. Or maybe Disney will. Heck I'd quit my job running a law firm and have some fun again. Get the place going with you for a nice pirate's booty. Plus health insurance. The kind that allows for on the job injuries like, "cannon missfire, running aground, sword play encounters, musket and cannon fire exposure." I hate it when they claim that was a pre-existing condition
Think of the jobs it can create which is what our President should be doing during this horrible time. 200 or so? Perhaps more if you add the disco, meeting rooms, Marta Rail directly to the venue from the airport, hotel and outdoor pool. And Pirate mini golf and bumper pirate ship lagoon……

"Loving" was one of the many endearing terms used to describe Bishop Emeritus Joseph Gossman Tuesday during a mass to honor his life at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Raleigh.
Gossman died Monday at the age of 83.
"When my husband was dying, he came to my house and he had a prayer service with my family, so I love this man," said Peggy Casey, a Catholic parishioner.
Many other Catholics loved him, too, and they gathered at Sacred Heart to celebrate the man who served as bishop of the Raleigh diocese for 31 years. During that time, the church experienced extensive growth.
"He would often speak about the great joy it was to go and dedicate and bless a new church, knowing we had provided something that are people so much needed and wanted," said Bishop Michael Burbidge of the Raleigh diocese.
Burbidge celebrated his predecessor's life and service.
"I didn't know Bishop Gossman until I became Bishop of Raleigh, so you can imagine that's intimidating," Burbidge said.
But from the first moment, Burbidge said, "He greeted me like a brother."

#31 - Peque & Papuchi Move Beyond Beige
(Note: We'll be posting more each day to fit in our 40 by Friday)
Name: Peque & Papuchi
Location: North Miami, Florida
Type: 2 bedroom house - owned
Why I use color:
I grew up in a beige home and when I got married I figured my home had to be beige too. For 13 years the walls and furniture were beige. A dear friend of mine and a wonderful designer opened my eyes to colors and helped me transform my home. It has made such a difference...
2 Good color tips:
1 - When painting a wall with a warm color such as red or orange make sure to use a dark primer (grayish) first. It will help avoid a translucid look.
2- Flat paint, when using warm colors, covers the area better and you might not need as many layers as you would with a glossy paint.
Favorite type and brand of paint:

I love that shade of blue in your living room! Especially since the color in my own home is very similar. :-)
Some may say that everyone's doing the aqua/brown combo, but it works. It may be in vogue now, but it'll ALWAYS look great. My living room is the same color combination and it's so relaxing and elegant. Amazing ceiling too, by the way. Bravo.
Love the blue wall and the lamp in the first picture.
Not crazy about the living room, in fact it had my head swimming. But I absolutely love the child's bedroom! The shade of orange with the white accents is the best. Sunny, funny, soothing, funky, energetic, awake, and happy are the feelings I get just looking at it.
You have a winner with the bedroom.
Love the orange.
I like the colors in the living room, the blue looks incredibly calmly. The kids room looks fun. Love it!!
Where did you get that lamp???!
the first pic is- wow. :)
that round mirror is gorgeous and the LR blue walls are wonderful, very soothing and atmospheric
I agree, aweekingparis. I think you need a pop of a third color in the living room. With just the chocolate/aqua, it feels too "matchy-matchy", like you decorated it all in one trip to the store.
Go Miami!!!!
Lovely colors. Lovely home.
The living room chairs and coffee table-- where are they from?
I have been trying to find the right blue for months now. I love the shade of blue in your LR, what is the name of that color?
I like the aqua. I think that another great color combo that I've been considering (in the same vein) is a very soft and cool blue-green color...almost mintish...like the color of the side of thick glass (that's the iron, I believe). But combining that with a really warm grey. It works really well especially because you can then use a lot of glass and steel and iron and everything plays well together. Pulling colors from the natural materials you're using, in my mind, is the only way to go. Either that or using some kind of color that shouldn't be in nature at all, like some kind of psychotic neon. :-)
such a serene blue in the first image
First of all, I love Brown & Turquoise. Second, Stealthy asked where the armchairs come from...I carry them in my store and they are great! They are called taylor club chairs and you can view them on sitcomfurniture.com They have great deigns. Good luck on the contest! JC

Huskie Research Rookies works to link students with faculty mentors in their major or area of interest to conduct a small-scale research project. As a Research Rookie, students will learn what research looks like in their field of study. Students will also learn how to write a formal research proposal, gain experience working alongside talented faculty, attend professional and academic enrichment activities, present their work at the annual Undergraduate Research and Artistry Day, and receive a $500 stipend at the end of the program in the spring. It is the perfect way for highly motivated students to connect with one another as well as with supportive faculty and graduate students.
This year, there are some exciting new developments within the Research Rookies program. The program will expand from one cohort of students to three, which will consist of incoming freshmen, sophomore and transfer students, and continuing Research Rookies who participated last year. Incoming freshmen will also have the opportunity to participate in a specialized section of UNIV 101 that has been reserved exclusively for Research Rookies. There are limited spaces for Research Rookies, so apply early!
Recently, the Huskie Research Rookies program received its first significant gift from Jaymie and Harry Simmon who want to provide scholarship and program support for Research Rookies at NIU.

|Effect of pairing correlations on the isospin-mixing parameter in deformed N = Z even-even nuclei
|J. Le Bloas1L. Bonneau1P. Quentin1J. Bartel2D. D. Strottman
|Within the particle-number conserving highly truncated diagonalization approach (amounting to a severely truncated shell model built on self-consistent mean-field single-particle states), we investigate the isospin mixing in the ground state of axially deformed even-even N = Z nuclei with A < 80. The Skyrme interaction in its SIII parametrization is used to generate the self-consistent mean-field solution, whereas the effective residual interaction is approximated by density-independent δ interactions in the T = 0 and T = 1 isospin channels. In the correlated ground state of the considered nuclei, the obtained values of the isospin-mixing parameter range from a fewtens of a percent to a couple of percents. The pairing correlations in both isospin channels are found to increase a little the isospin-mixing parameter with respect to the Hartree-Fock value by two competing mechanisms. In the T = 0 channel, isospin mixing is brought mostly by neutron-proton one-pair excitations, whereas in the T = 1 channel it is essentially generated by the difference between neutron-neutron and proton-proton one-pair excitations.

Joy Adamson (20 January 1910 – 3 January 1980) (born Friederike Victoria Gessner) was a naturalist, artist, and author best known for her book, Born Free, which describes her experiences raising a lion cub named Elsa. Born Free was printed in several languages, and made into an Academy Award-winning movie of the same name. In 1977, she was awarded the Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art.[1]
Adamson was born to Victor and Traute Gessner in Troppau, Silesia, Austria-Hungary (now Opava, Czech Republic), the second of three girls. Her parents divorced when she was 10, and she went to live with her grandmother. In her autobiography The Searching Spirit, Adamson wrote about her grandmother, saying, "It is to her I owe anything that may be good in me".[citation needed] As a young adult, Adamson considered careers as a concert pianist, and in medicine.
Adamson is best known for her conservation efforts associated with Elsa the Lioness. In 1956, Adamson's husband, George Adamson, in the course of his job as game warden of the Northern Frontier District in Kenya, shot and killed a lioness as she charged him and another warden. George realized the lioness was protecting her cubs, which were later found nearby. Taking them home, Joy and he raised the cubs. Early on, George attended to their physical needs, while Joy and her pet Pati-Pati, a rock hyrax, raised them. Joy named them "Big One", "Lustica" and "Elsa".
After six months, caring for the cubs became increasingly difficult for the Adamsons and their staff. The two larger cubs, Lustica and the Big One, were sent to a zoo in Rotterdam. The Adamsons kept Elsa. They decided to set her free rather than send her to a zoo, and spent many months training her to hunt and survive on her own. They were successful in the end, and Elsa became the first lioness successfully released back into the wild, the first to have contact after release, and the first known to have cubs. The Adamsons kept their distance from the cubs, getting close enough only to photograph them.
In January 1961, Elsa died from disease resulting from a tick bite. Her three young cubs became a nuisance, killing the livestock of local farmers. The Adamsons, who feared the farmers might kill the cubs, were able to eventually capture them and transport them to neighboring Tanganyika Territory, where they were promised a home at Serengeti National Park. In The Story of Elsa, a compilation of the books about Elsa, Joy Adamson wrote: "My heart was with them wherever they were. But it was also with these two lions here in front of us; and as I watched this beautiful pair, I realized how all the characteristics of our cubs were inherent in them. Indeed, in every lion I saw during our searches I recognized the intrinsic nature of Elsa, Jespah, Gopa and Little Elsa, the spirit of all the magnificent lions in Africa".[citation needed]
Using her own notes and George's journals, Joy wrote Born Free to tell the lions' tale. She submitted it to a number of publishers before it was bought by Harvill Press, part of HarperCollins. Published in 1960, it became a bestseller, spending 13 weeks at the top of The New York Times Best Seller list and nearly a year on the chart overall.[2] The success of the book was due to both the story of Elsa and the dozens of photographs of her. Readers had pictures of many of the events of Elsa's life leading up to her release. Subsequent books were also heavily illustrated.
Born Free received largely favorable reviews from critics. Adamson worked closely with publishers to promote the book, which contributed to the Adamsons' new-found international celebrity.
Joy Adamson spent the rest of her life raising money for wildlife, thanks to the popularity of Born Free. The book was followed by Living Free, which is about Elsa as a mother to her cubs, and Forever Free, which tells of the release of the cubs Jespah, Gopa and Little Elsa. Adamson shared book proceeds with various conservation projects.
The 1966 film Born Free, starring husband-and-wife actors Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna, and filmed in the bush over the course of many months, was a worldwide hit. The stars became acquainted with the real Adamsons, and the couples remained friends for life, working for wildlife causes. Travers and McKenna decided to do all of their own scenes with the lions in the film in order to recreate the close relationship that Joy and George Adamson had with Elsa. This was a serious commitment and risk on the actors' part, and one that made the film more realistic. Born Free, which went on to win two Academy Awards (both for music) is widely considered to be a family classic. Six years later, Susan Hampshire took over the role of Joy Adamson in Living Free, a film based on the third "Elsa book", Forever Free. The theme of the film, "Born Free", which appeared on the film's soundtrack album, was also a popular hit, recorded by Matt Monro.
Perhaps the most important aspect of the filming of Born Free was that some of the lions used for the film had been freed, similarly to Elsa. This story was told in a documentary produced by Bill Travers, titled The Lions Are Free.[3]
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2010)
During Elsa's lifetime, Joy and George Adamson needed each other to educate her, but after she died and her cubs were taken in by the park, their interests went in separate directions, as did their lives. While neither divorced nor legally separated, their conflicting interests (George wanted to continue to work with lions and she with cheetahs) made it necessary for them to live apart (though they sometimes spoke of living together again, it never happened.[citation needed]. Every year, they got together for Christmas, and they remained on good terms.
While television specials kept the Adamsons' cause in the spotlight, Adamson spent her last 10 years travelling the world, giving speeches about the perils faced by wildlife in Africa. A book of her paintings was published. She rehabilitated a cheetah and an African leopard. Pippa the cheetah was raised as a pet and given to Adamson at the age of seven months in hopes that she could also be released. Pippa had four litters before her death. Adamson wrote The Spotted Sphinx and Pippa's Challenge about Pippa and her cheetah family. Later, Adamson reached her goal of many years, when she obtained an African leopard cub. Penny was eight weeks old when a ranger acquaintance of George Adamson found her in 1976. Penny had a litter of two cubs before the publication of Queen of Shaba, Joy Adamson's posthumous and final book. For many years, Joy Adamson was a resident panellist on the hugely popular and long-running BBC radio programme Twenty Questions.
On 3 January 1980, in Shaba National Reserve in Kenya, Joy Adamson's body was discovered by her assistant, Peter Morson (sometimes reported as Pieter Mawson). He mistakenly assumed she had been killed by a lion, and this was what was initially reported by the media.[4]
Police investigation found Adamson's wounds were too sharp and bloodless to have been caused by an animal, and concluded she had been murdered.[5] Paul Nakware Ekai, a discharged labourer formerly employed by Adamson, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to imprisonment at President Daniel arap Moi's pleasure. He escaped capital punishment because the judge ruled he might have been a minor when the crime was committed.[6][7]
Joy's widower, George Adamson, was murdered 9 years later, in 1989, near his camp in Kora National Park, while rushing to the aid of a tourist who was being attacked by poachers. He is credited with saving the tourist's life.[8]
In addition to Joy's books about big cats, a book of her artwork was published, as was an autobiography entitled The Searching Spirit. George Adamson's second autobiography, My Pride and Joy, was published in 1986.
Joy Adamson married three times in the span of ten years. Her first marriage was to a Jewish Austrian, Viktor von Klarwill (Ziebel) 1902-1985, who sent her to Africa to find a safe place for the two of them to live out World War II. Later, she met and married the botanist Peter Bally, who gave her the nickname "Joy". She met her third husband, game warden George Adamson, while on safari in the early 1940s. They made their home together in Kenya. Joy Adamson appeared in "The Bargain" and "Death Walks by Night," two second-season episodes of the British television crime drama The Vise, which were broadcast in 1955.
During her lifetime, Joy created more than 500 paintings and line drawings: many of the plants had never been photographed or accurately drawn in colour.[9]

Comments about MERRELL Men's Sight Casual Shoes, Brown:
Haven't really had the shoes long enough to give great feedback. Shoes break in kinda slow, gotta wear em with thick socks to start. Base of the shoe kinda feels a little narrow, maybe both those issues are related to sizing.
That being said the Vibram soles do the trick. Hopefully the shoes feel more comfortable the longer I wear them. Guess I got what I wanted, an aggressive pair of casual shoes that I can take off road.

This shoes pay homage to the Merrell Tradition. They are great everyday hikers. Good on the rocks and trails as well as casual for the office.
Great price for a pair of shoes that you can stroll-on year round, rain or shine sleet or snow.

The cruise line's culinary trainer, Chef David Bilsland, the director of culinary development, Chef Rudi Scholdis, the Silversea wine ambassador, Lawrence D'Almeida and historian Imogene Corrigen gave Almost daily lectures, demonstrations and tastings. The chefs led tours of local markets and bought fresh fish, shellfish and regional specialities back to the ship for us to taste. Several times the chefs cooked in the center of the dining room, preparing paella, bouillabaisse, mussels marinara and Breton galettes. We felt totally spoiled by all the extra emphasis on food and wine in addition to the normally excellent Silversea dining experience.
The Silversa team was joined by Tom Badcock, a cheese educator and expert who teaches at London's Cordon Bleu school. Tom purchased local cheeses at several ports and held well attended tastings four or five days. Eileen Crane, CEO and winemaker at Napa's Domaine Carneros spoke to us about sparkling wines as we tasted several examples. A group of her wine club members were on board enjoying it all.
Food and travel writer, Sharon Hudgins, from Dallas, also gave interesting food related talks on sea days.
The service is friendly, many staff people know you by name after a day or two, they are well trained and seem to go the extra step for their guests. This ship is small, we were only 110 passengers with a crew of 120. The maximum is 134 guests. There are not as many public rooms or dining options such as offered on their larger ships, but the decor, atmosphere and service is equally fine, as is the food and beverage offered.
