Surprising Benefits of Slings and Baby Carriers!
Provides a Gentle Transition
Newborns do not arrive acclimated to the world; they need to adapt to new sights, sounds, and smells. Held close to a parent in a sling or front carrier, a newborn experiences the eye-to-eye contact critical to healthy bonding. He can hear the beating of his mother's heart, feel the warmth of her skin, and breathe in her unique scent. Soothed by constant gentle motion, he also receives a steady stream of sensory stimuli that advances his neurological development.
"Newborns are not designed, physically or mentally, to be on their own. They are neurologically unfinished," says Dr. Meredith Small, PhD, professor of Anthropology at Cornell University and author of Our Babies Ourselves: How Biology and Culture Shape The Way We Parent. "Anthropologists estimate that human babies are really born three months too early," she says.
While strollers, playpens, and hand-held car seats are safe, they do not provide the close contact of a sling, backpack, or front carrier. Also, strollers place children at knee level, rather than eye level. According to Dr. Small, babies worn on a parent's chest or back interact more with the people around them.

National Foundation for Infectious Disease (NFID) data that 4 in 10 patients have never talked to their health care professional (HCP) about influenza vaccination and 7 in 10 say they would be likely or very likely to get influenza vaccine if their HCP recommended it. The purpose of the flu monthly posters is to encourage dialogue between patients and HCP about flu vaccination. The posters are targeted towards individuals and families, with a message that is simple and straight to the point: get your flu vaccination this year and every year. Further, these posters should be utilized by HCP to foster efforts towards extending the flu vaccination season throughout the winter months and even into February and March.

Senate rejects GOP proposals that would overturn Obama environment, energy policies
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate killed Republican-backed attempts to overturn several of President Barack Obama's environmental and energy policies Thursday as lawmakers worked against a March 31 deadline to keep aid flowing to more than 100,000 transportation construction projects around the country.
The two-year, $109 billion transportation bill before the Senate has wide, bipartisan support, but has become a magnet for lawmakers' favorite causes and partisan gamesmanship. Among the amendments batted aside were GOP proposals to bypass Obama's concerns about the Keystone XL oil pipeline, to delay tougher air pollution standards for industrial boilers and to expand offshore oil drilling.
Action on those and other amendments came under an agreement between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., aimed at clearing the way for passage of the transportation bill next week.
Obama lobbied some Senate Democrats by telephone ahead of the Keystone vote, urging them to oppose an amendment by Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., that would have prevented the president from intervening in decisions related to construction of the pipeline and would have speeded its approval. Pointing to the administration's environmental concerns about the project, which would carry tar sands oil from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast, Republicans accused Obama of standing in the way greater oil supplies at a time when Americans are coping with rising gasoline prices.
But some Democrats, especially those from oil producing states, were torn between support for the pipeline and their support for the president. The amendment was defeated 56-42, even though 11 Democrats broke ranks to support it. Sixty votes were needed for passage.
Some Deep South voters skeptical about Romney but say they'll back him if he's the GOP nominee
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- Mitt Romney faces a tough sell in the Deep South. With Mississippi and Alabama primaries coming up next Tuesday, there's concern that he's too slick, not really a conservative. In a region where the evangelical vote is important, some are skeptical about his Mormon faith.
But if Romney wins the Republican nomination and it's a November choice between him and Democratic President Barack Obama, the former Massachusetts governor may be just good enough for some Southerners.
"If push comes to shove and he gets the nomination, I'll go in the voting booth like this and vote for him," says Mississippi retiree David Wilke, holding his nose.
Romney acknowledges that he faces an uphill battle in Tuesday's Southern primaries. In an interview Thursday with Birmingham, Ala., radio station WAPI, he said the Deep South contests would be "a bit of an away game" for him.
Campaigning in Pascagoula, Miss., Romney said he is turning into an "unofficial Southerner."
Syrian deputy oil minister defects, calls Bashar Assad's regime a 'sinking ship'
BEIRUT (AP) -- Syria's deputy oil minister appeared tense as he looked at the camera and announced in a video that he has defected from President Bashar Assad's regime, acknowledging he expects government forces to "burn my home" and "persecute my family."
Abdo Husameddine, a 58-year-old father of four, on Thursday became the highest-ranking civilian official to join the opposition, and he urged his countrymen to "abandon this sinking ship" as the nation spirals toward civil war.
In the YouTube video, Husameddine seemed to address Assad directly, accusing him of vast crimes in the past year as government forces pummel the opposition with tanks and snipers. The U.N. estimates 7,500 people have been killed since the uprising began.
"You have inflicted on those you claim are your people a full year of sorrow and sadness, denied them their basic rights to life and humanity and pushed the country to the edge of the abyss," said Husameddine, wearing a dark suit and tie. He appeared to be reading from a script, casting his eyes down to find the words.
"I do not want to end my life servicing the crimes of this regime," he said. "I declare that I am joining the revolution of the dignified people."
Gunman opens fire at Pitt psychiatric clinic; 2, including gunman, are killed, 7 injured
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A man armed with two semiautomatic handguns entered the lobby of a psychiatric clinic at the University of Pittsburgh on Thursday and opened fire, killing one person and wounding several others before he was shot dead, apparently by campus police, the mayor said.
Six people were wounded by the man's gunfire, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said. A seventh suffered unspecified injuries but wasn't shot, officials said.
The mayor stopped short of confirming the gunman was fatally shot by at least one University of Pittsburgh police officer who responded. But he confirmed "police acted admirably and did engage in gunfire."
"There's no doubt that their swift response saved lives today," Ravenstahl said.
Shooting witness Gregory Brant said he was in a waiting room on the first floor of the clinic building when pandemonium broke out Thursday afternoon.
With campaign on line in South, Gingrich "tired" but loose in Mississippi
TUPELO, Miss. (AP) -- It was an ominous introduction for Republican Newt Gingrich, whose future as a presidential candidate rests in Mississippi and Alabama.
"I can tell you right now, he's tired. He needs your prayers," former state Sen. Lee Yancey told a half-full Jackson hotel ballroom before the former House speaker took the stage.
Gingrich's aides have said the candidate needs to win Alabama and Mississippi Tuesday to justify staying in the race. He scrapped weekend plans to campaign in Kansas ahead of the Saturday caucuses to stay in the South, his adopted home and the only place he's won in the 2012 campaign.
"I want your help next Tuesday so we can win the Republican nomination," Gingrich flatly told the group, his voice a little rough.
What few in the crowd of about 100 knew is that the night before, Gingrich took some time to enjoy himself. He shed his jacket and tie, sipped some wine and danced with his wife, Callista, in the bar, a carefree respite with staff that ran into the early hours of Thursday.
Postal worker makes worrisome discovery near Houston: 2 children living in old school bus
SPLENDORA, Texas (AP) -- The abandoned school bus had no engine and no front wheels. But there were crude curtains in the windows, an air conditioner and even bunk beds inside.
So when a postal worker repeatedly ran across two unkempt children at the scene, she grew concerned and this week contacted authorities to report that the pair had apparently been living there for months.
Now child welfare agents are trying to unravel the story of the siblings, a 5-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl, whose parents are in prison and whose home was a dilapidated vehicle at the end of a muddy, one-lane road.
The postal carrier saw the kids Wednesday near Houston, and the two were swiftly placed in foster care while authorities investigate.
"The little girl's hair was just matted, like a stray dog's," Vanessa Picazo said.
Dad-son talk, celebrity tweets and teens key to viral video denouncing Africa atrocities
KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) -- The young American boy sums up what his father does for a living: "You stop the bad guys from being mean."
Yes, the father says, but who are the bad guys? The child thinks, then offers a guess: "Star Wars people?"
Though half a world away from this preschooler's American upbringing, the truth is far more sinister.
The bad guys are Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army, a brutal Central Africa militia that has kidnapped thousands of children and forced them to become sex slaves, fight as child soldiers and kill family members during a 26-year campaign of terror.
The father-son conversation is part of a 30-minute video that has rocketed through cyberspace since its release Monday on YouTube. It had been viewed more than 40 million times by late Thursday, propelled by celebrity tweets and fans on Facebook and Twitter, especially teens and young adults.
Mormon church responds to criticism of proxy baptisms, restricts access to Holocaust victims
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Mormon leaders have put up a virtual firewall in their massive genealogical database to block out anyone who attempts to access the names of hundreds of thousands of Holocaust victims the church has agreed not to posthumously baptize.
The move comes amid criticism that the Salt Lake City-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hasn't done enough to live up to commitments to stop its members worldwide from performing the baptism ritual on Holocaust victims and other notable Jews.
The new system will immediately block church members' access should they try to seek out names of Holocaust victims or other notable figures that have been flagged as not suitable for proxy baptisms. The church said the move is aimed at ending the practice.
But critics say it merely serves to block anyone from monitoring whether the posthumous baptisms continue.
"By not allowing public access to the records, it creates the illusion they have something to hide," said Jewish genealogist Gary Mokotoff, who was involved in negotiations with the church over ending the practice for the past two decades.
Handwriting was 'on the wall' for Whitney Houston's death, relative tells Oprah Winfrey
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Whitney Houston's sister-in-law said she feared that drugs would end the singer's life.
In a partial transcript of an interview with Oprah Winfrey scheduled to air Sunday, Patricia Houston said she would be "kidding herself" to say otherwise.
Patricia Houston, who was her sister-in-law's manager, was asked if she thought drugs would end up "taking" Whitney Houston. The "handwriting was kind of on the wall," she replied.
The pop star was changing how she lived, Patricia Houston said, and "it wasn't about substance abuse or anything like that relative to the ... latter days or anything like that."
"It was just more of a lifestyle. I was afraid for other things," Patricia Houston said. "I saw her chasing a dream, you know, looking for love in all the wrong places."
Howard gets 29 points, 18 rebounds and Magic end Bulls' 8-game win streak with 99-94 victory
CHICAGO (AP) -- Dwight Howard had 29 points and 18 rebounds to lead the Orlando Magic to a 99-94 win over the Bulls on Thursday, snapping Chicago's eight-game winning streak.
Chicago twice overcame double-digit deficits and led 91-89 with 2:56 to play after Derrick Rose passed to Carlos Boozer for a jumper.
Orlando responded with an 8-1 run started by Jameer Nelson's lob to Howard for a dunk. Ryan Anderson hit a 3 and a pair of free throws in the game-deciding rally.
The Magic bounced back from a 100-84 loss at Charlotte, beating the league-best Bulls two nights after losing to the last-place Bobcats.
Boozer led the Bulls with 26 points. Rose added 17 points and nine assists, but shot just 6 for 22 from the field.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but Chris Brown is a HOT MESS. Given his latest antics, I felt it beared mentioning yet again. In the wake of his arrest on an assault charge Sunday, the hot-headed rapper is headed to rehab.
So what is the notorious star rehabbing exactly? That's not clear. There is no indication that he actually has a substance abuse problem. As a statement from his rep explained, "His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point." So he wants help with his troubling anger management issues.
Probably a smart move considering this latest brawl could land him in prison. It finally demonstrates remorse for his outrageously trashy -- and criminal -- behavior. But if you ask me, it's too little too late. In the years since he brutally attacked ex-girlfriend Rihanna, Brown can't seem to stay out of trouble. From fights with Drake and Frank Ocean to window-breaking outbursts on Good Morning America, he has never once seemed as though he was trying to change.
So perhaps the judge will take this rehab stint into consideration. Lucky for him, in Washington, a fight is a misdemeanor. However, a judge could revoke his probation from the previous criminal case. It's really sad that he couldn't get it together before now. He's had so many chances to redeem himself, but it's as though he's too arrogant and ignorant to care. For his sake, I hope this is the wake-up call that he so desperately needs.
In a surprising turn, another star has offered the best advice possible. In a recent interview, Mike Tyson said Brown should, basically, stop punching people and acting crazy because eventually no one will want to work with you. Listen to the man Chris. He knows of what he speaks!
Do you think rehab will do Chris Brown any good?
This is utter bullshit. Every time some celeb gets in trouble it's off to rehab. I wish judges would put a stop to it and make them do real time.Lord knows Lindsey was a hot mess,but she didn't batter people and she had to pay,and rightfully so.Now this asshole really needs to pay for his crimes and who knows maybe some of his own waysof dealing with people would be visited upon him.Pipe dream,they would keep him separated from general pop.
Amen Prima I think the reason he is in as much trouble as he is is because he wasn't dealt harshly with when he beat Riahanna he should have been sent to prison the first time he laid his hands on anyone and he wasn't look where he is now!

While the old adage, "Time is Money" may hold true in a World where money rules our lives, time is really the only commodity we truly own. Time is far more valuable than money.
When people run out of money, they resourcefully turn to their other assets of value, like time, and look to maximize its usefulness. That's where the concept of time banks come in.
There are no active time banks in Montreal or Quebec, according to the Time Bank Community Directory, although the NDG Time Bank was started here in 2009.
Source: Wall Street Journal
Even though she's one of millions of young, unemployed Spaniards, 22-year-old Silvia Martín takes comfort in knowing that her bank is still standing behind her. It's not a lending institution, but rather a time bank whose nearly 400 members barter their services by the hour.
Ms. Martín, who doesn't own a car and can't afford taxis, has relied on other time-bank members to give her lifts around town for her odd jobs and errands, as well as to help with house repairs. In return, she has cared for members' elderly relatives, organized children's parties and even hauled boxes for a member moving to a new house.
The time bank not only saves her cash, she says, but also lifts her spirits by making her feel "part of a community that's taking some positive action during hard times."
As Europe's leaders struggle with a five-year-old economic crunch that has saddled Spain with the industrialized world's highest jobless rate, young Spaniards are increasingly embracing such bottom-up self-help initiatives to cope. The diverse measures—some commonly associated with rural or disaster-zone economies—supplement a public safety net that is fraying under government austerity programs.

Family flipbook
Good for age: 19 months (but older and younger kids might enjoy it, too!)
Skills developed: language, understanding of relationships
What you'll need: photographs of immediate and extended family members (individual pictures are better than group shots), glue, scissors, cardboard cut into pieces slightly larger than the photos
What to do: Stick the photographs onto the cardboard. This will extend their lifetime, because your little one will love to handle them. (Even with this protection, however, they may not last long, so make sure you have your own copies tucked away safely.)
Join your toddler on the floor or at a table with the photographs. Let him hold them, starting with the easiest – you! Ask him, "Who's this?" and see if he'll say, "Mummy!" Move on to Daddy, siblings, pets, and, of course, your toddler himself.
Next, show him pictures of people in his extended family. As he explores these, you can tell him things to help him remember each person. "There's Aunt Joan. And there's Aunt Joan's doggy, Benji!" or "Here's Grandma wearing her pretty purple hat".
Keep the photos in a special box that your child can pull out whenever he likes. As he becomes more familiar with the pictures, you can spread them out and ask him to pick out "Mummy" or "Aunt Joan". He'll get a nice jolt of satisfaction from finding the very one that you ask for.

What Are Some Good Ways to Use Not-Great Sweet Corn?
Good Questions
Q: In the middle of sweet corn season, it's really frustrating when you buy a few ears that are duds — too old, maybe, but definitely just not sweet enough to eat off the cob or in a salad.
Any suggestions for using these ears?
Sent by Kim
Editor: Kim, our first suggestion runs (of course!) to dessert:
• Sweet Corn Ice Cream - The corn kernels are just steeped in the liquid and discarded afterwards.
Readers, how do you use not-so-great sweet corn?

Ditto the black bean and corn salsa! :)
Grilled in the shuck is my preferred method.
I was going to suggest salsa as well -- or anything that has a spicy, tomato-y base, like chilli or taco soup.
Corn Fritters from Martha Stewart- they are great for leftover corn- good or bad. And depending on what your serve them with they can be sweet or savory. Easy and delicious: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/corn-fritters-with-maple-syrup
It's always such a let down when you're expecting sweet, tender corn.
My family really likes Crockpot Chicken w/ Beans and Corn. I shred the chicken with two forks while it's hot in the crockpot and then add the cream cheese. Reduced fat works fine.
i make corn chowder.
Add to corn bread.
My mom makes "Incredible Corn". Remove kernels from cob, put in big pot on stove. Add cream cheese and butter, a little salt and pepper, and heat until all is bubbly. Serve along side grilled chicken, and mix the two together a bit (we did not grow up with the divided plates!). It's a little sweet, a little salty, and a great compliment to grilled items...oh and chocolate cake.
Corn that is so-so can be spruced up by cutting it off the cob and then cooking it with some butter and chiles. I like to make this Chile Lime Corn Saute: http://www.atthefarmersmarket.com/2010/07/chile-lime-corn-saute.html
Corn chowder or mix into polenta. I had a brunch dish of polenta with mushrooms and a poached egg in San Francisco and it was soooooo good. The kernels of fresh corn give the smooth and creamy polenta little bursts every bite, and the flavor of the fresh corn isn't paramount -- it's the texture you're really getting there. Corn chowder is similar... even if it's not the best-tasting corn, it will still give the chowder an overall flavor.
Mark Bittman has a good recipe (I actually made this last night, coincidentally).
My husband cuts it off the cob and dehydrates it to use for our backpacking meals. Seems like a lot of effort to me but I sure don't complain about that bowl of corn chowder by the camp fire after a day of hiking or the bacon-topped cheesy grits in the morning made with crushed up dried corn.
I do what everyone else does...cornbread, salsas, and chowders. I also add so-so corn kernels to cornmeal waffles and pancakes as well as use them for corn puddings, souffles, and casseroles.
This may be a stupid question but how do you know it's bad corn before eating it?
Do you pop a kernel off and taste it first?
I'd say creamed corn (with a little sugar added) or go ahead and grill it and make some Mexican street corn, slathered in mayo or mexican crema, some cotija or parmesan cheese, chili powder and lime wedges.
@lizremus - if I'm at the farmer's market they'll give customers a few kernels to taste before buying. But since sweet corn gets starchier the longer it is stored, if I don't get around to cooking it, then it just gets to the point where I know it's better for other things. If in doubt, yeah, bite into a kernel to see if it's still juicy and sweet or more hard and starchy.
cut it off the cob, saute it in butter w/some pepper, and then chop up some whitefish (or another mild fish) and make a sort of hash w/garlic and chili powder. total comfort food.
not-so-great corn can be used to make corn stock. I always save corn cobs for this purpose, and if I ever get corn where the kernels aren't developed or the corn is too starchy, I'll use those too. It's a great base for things like corn chowder and okra stew
Succotash! Here is an easy and nutritious recipe:
Corn stock! What a great idea. I will absolutely have to try that.
I tend to just cut off the kernels and throw them in the freezer in a bag, to be used later in some slow cooked chili.
Fried corn. Melt butter in pan, cut kernels off cob, cook on high heat, stirring of shaking pan frequently until there are some nice toasted spots on the kernels.
Where did you get those adorable cows?!

F-1 Students
F-1 Students
The F-1 immigration status is granted to non-immigrants coming to the United States to pursue an academic or English language training program at a U.S. institution. F-1 students must maintain a full-time course load throughout their course of study at the school USCIS has authorized to attend.
For more information see Maintaining Legal F-1 Status
INS regulations divides temporary employment opportunities of F-1 students into several categories: Curricular Practical Training, Optional Practical Training, On Campus Employment and Economic Hardship Employment.
Curricular or Optional Practical Trainings are temporary employment opportunities related to the student's major area of study. Authorization from USCIS is needed before any practical training is granted.
Authorization to work part-time off-campus is only granted to students encountering economic hardship. Students need to meet conditions and receive authorization from USCIS before harship employment is granted.
What is the difference between F-1 visa and F-1 immigration status?
The VISA in your passport is a document required for entering the United States. It is issued at a US embassy or consulate abroad which shows the latest date on which you can apply to enter the country. The visa functions as a key to enter and it does not indicate how long you can stay in the country. While in the United States, you need not worry about your visa being expired. However when leaving and re-entering the US, you must have a valid visa stamped on your passport for your return.
The IMMIGRATION STATUS is the status granted to you at your port of entry once you are allowed admission in the United States. This immigration status is shown in your I-94 card and in most cases, your visa type and immigration status is the same. However, if you have applied for a change of status while in the US, you will be issued a new I-94 which reflects your current immigration status which may differ from the visa stamped on your passport. You do not need to apply for a new visa if you don't plan on leaving the US. If you leave, you must have with you upon re-entering the United States a valid visa on your passport that indicates your immigration status in the Unites States.

Hair & Fiber Analysis
A large amount of trace evidence was collected during the investigation of the cabin, and recently additional trace evidence has arrived from the Tumbling Water Land Development Co. truck discovered in New Mexico.
Students are tasked with analyzing the hair and fiber evidence. Hairs and fibers must first be removed from trace evidence collection tape by dissolving its adhesive in water and filtering the hairs and fibers from the solution. Students must then characterize the hairs and fibers using microscopy.
After all of the evidence from the truck is processed, students must attempt to match types of hairs and fibers from the cabin to those found in the truck. During this process, students learn about evidence handling and comparison.
As in all Lyle and Louise modules, this kit is geared to high school and undergraduate courses, and is matched to National Science Education Standards.

- RedsDined on 9/28/2014I have been to the Moshulu multiple times. As time has progressed, the service has plummeted. This last visit is my final visit. The service was horrible. Sighting the waiter was like looking for the Yeti. In an upscale and pricey restaurant such as Moshulu, I expect the waiter to visit the table a couple of times during the meal. We had trouble even trying to flag him down. I could understand if the restaurant was busy but it definitely was not.

Being able to order flower ahead of time for my table was a nice special touch I was able to add that my wife just loved.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ShannonDined on 9/21/2014The Restuarant itself was very beautiful. The presentation of the food was good and it was delicious. I understand it was the "ambiance", but it was entirely too dark in there. We could not even read our menus. The bathroom was also very dark----a bit scary.Special Features:
- I would do it againMyThingDined on 9/21/2014We went to the Moshulu for Sunday brunch. We have been there before for dinner but this was our first brunch. I can't say enough good about this place. There was so much variety on the buffet that everyone was able to get things that they liked. Often a server can make a good meal bad but our server Andrew was just the opposite. He was attentive but not too much and he always seemed to anticipate our needs. One of the best servers I have had in some time. The drinks were a little pricey but not much more than one would expect for a downtown restaurant. The bargain in drinks is the endless champagne for 12 bucks they keep it coming. So if you are in Philly on a Sunday go and enjoy the brunch on the Moshulu.Special Features:
- Love this placeNikkiB912Dined on 9/20/2014I always enjoy this place. Had the crab cake and it was FANTASTIC!! They stop seething pretty late so good for a late dinner with friends or lover.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best anniversary everdaviscylDined on 9/19/2014Very few restaurants have left me an impression good enough to make me feel like writing a review for it, and due to my lazy nature(I bought a total of over 10,000 dollar worth goods on Amazon.com and zero reviews was written), I have never written a single serious restaurant review before Moshulu. But this one, I have to do it, because it's simply the best anniversary I've ever had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great SpotRobCDined on 9/19/2014After wanting to go to the Mosholu for years now, we finally did, and it was worth it. Great service, very good food, loved the view of the river. Overall great night. Perfect for date night.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/16/2014Terrible service went for my husband bday it took forever waiter was terrible could not even do the cake that we bought with us for two reason our reservation was 7:30 we didn't get our food till 9:15 it took 25 min to get a drink by the time we ate the tiny portion of scallops it was 9:45 so we took the cake home becuase they wanted to charge me a 3 dollar cutting fee on each piece they cut of the cake I bought with me ! I gave them a $50 dollar visa gift card they told me they could only take $40 of it? IV never heard of that. It was very disappointing I took my husband out becuase his mother is dying and it was his birthday and he needed a night away from it all and it turned out to be terrible. Very upset about it all.Special Features:
- Great as always!FoodieChicaDined on 9/14/2014Loved it... always do. Just a little disappointed that the "chocolate" fountain was taken away for Sunday Brunch. :( I loved that thing! Also, our server Lark was a gem! She was on top of things and always attentive to our needs! She needs to be cloned! Wish more restaurants had servers like her.... :) We will definitely ask for her for all our future visits. Awesome young lady!!!Special Features:
- Glad I finally got to try themfoddieontapDined on 9/14/2014Moshulu was just ok for brunch. We felt it was not a great selection for the price, not a great value. The peach pancakes were awesome, as were the desserts. The other food items were nothing special. The crab claws did not appear fresh. It was nice for a special occasion but fo $40 there are better options. They have a live piano player who plays ragtime. Warm Daddy's is a much better option, with live jazz and spectacular southern food with excellent flavor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New Menu OptionsbrunchmunchDined on 9/14/2014We've been to Moshulu many times for brunch and have always enjoyed it. This time was no different, however, they have changed their menu presentation. Unlimited champagne included in the price used to be a great draw for us. The price for brunch has been lowered and a $12 charge for unlimited champagne has been offered. I understand that some people do not drink, but the 'unlimited champagne brunch' was a great hook. Also changed was that the entree items are on the brunch floor instead of being special ordered (except omelets). The entree selections used to be more gourmet. Now they are basically carved beef and salmon - very nice but mundane. We'll still go, but really loved the way it used to be. Also, $15 for parking is too much.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good food, poor atmosphereheidissDined on 9/13/2014I was very impressed with the food we ate at Moshulu. However, with an 8 pm reservation and still not seated at 8:20, I was disappointed in the service. Once seated -- at an extra large round table -- with 5 of us it was difficult to have a conversation because of how loud it was in the dining room. I might go back, but only if we're able to sit outside.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceSnobbishDined on 9/12/2014After reading other reviews, I was a little skeptical but was glad that I went. Parking was right across from the ship, I mean literally. I had on 4 inch heels and was worried I had to walk blocks. When we arrived we were seated immediately in a cozy booth. Our waitress was attentive but not annoying.. The wine list was notable and a little pricey, but that was expected. For appetizers, I had the oysters and my date had the ceviche. The presentation of the ceviche was nice and impressive. For dinner, I ordered the salmon and he ordered the Sea bass.. Everything was freshly prepared and perfect. Overall I was impressed..Special Features:
- servicepoflDined on 9/12/2014The overall experience was good but not too exiting. The service was not reflecting the high priced level. Our waitress spilled a glass of Champlain entirely over my daughter Of course she apologized but that was it. I would have expected the Manager to show up and to give us a kind of special treat, but that was it I found this a little poor but did not want to be the one to get this young girl fired. However a little overrated after all but still a nice place to go for a different experience. The food was goodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SurprisedSergeDined on 9/11/2014We went in for lunch and were seated at a table with the best view. The service was sincere and knowledgeable, all while giving us our space. The food matched well and left us feeling most content. The ship is Historic and well taken care of. The parking fee, I could do with out.Special Features:

- Everything was just ok.kaboomDined on 9/6/2014I took my wife here to celebrate our new marriage. We were seated quickly in a quiet spot towards the back, with a window seat. Our server was fairly quick, and nice. The ambiance was ok, not what I thought it would be. There was a party or two upstairs, so music could he heard. That took away from the intimate setting we were looking for. The food was good, just not what we expected. It didn't sweep us off our feet like we imagined. In the middle of our dinner, they sat a large party next to us. This party was really loud, so that took away even more from our celebration. Overall, the Moshulu was just an ok experience, but I would recommend it to friends. I will try it again one day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014It has been along time since me and my wife had dinner at your establishment it was our anniversary and you didn't disappoint waiter was friendly food was good and waiter recognized it was our anniversary and brought out a nice happy anniversary plate at the end of our meal what a nice touchSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New favorite restaurantPieLifeDined on 9/6/2014Booked a 5:00 reservation on a Saturday for my boyfriends birthday (5:00 because I knew he would be antsy all day to see this surprise place I was taking him to and didn't want to make him wait too long) Food was amazing service was great the ambience is wonderful. Yes the boat is old so everything in it is old but that's what you expect walking into a ship from 1904! I got the scallops & gnocchi and the plate was small (as expected from any high end restaurant) it was very tasteful. He got the swordfish which neither of us have ever tried swordfish and it was amazing!! The ONLY downfall was we went there at 4 hoping to enjoy the rooftop bar for a whole before dinner and it was closed due to a wedding. Definitely recommend!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- How is the food actually good?mafalzonDined on 9/4/2014Places this breathtaking, simply put, don't need good food or competitive prices. They have the visuals that make up for it. Moshulu breaks the mold, for some reason, in that the food is absolutely worth while. If this was a hole-in-the wall place it'd still be worth going to. I never though this would be a place that I would come back to even for more casual meals. Very impressed with the Calamari (one of the best I've had) and the Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake. Prices are also not over inflated. So long as their Chef sticks around, I will be returning to this place often when I am in the PHL area.Special Features:
- Very niceJaniceDined on 9/4/2014We had a nice lunch at Moshulu, but service wasn't the best. It took about an hour to get our entrees. Luckily there were some yummy warm rolls to munch on while we waited. The food was good, but we didn't see much of our server throughout the whole time we were there. We had requested she give us two checks when we first ordered, but she forgot and just brought one at the end of our meal. Now the only male in our group felt obligated to pay the total bill. This was really embarrassing. She reluctantly took back the bill, but came back with three separate checks. I don't know what she was thinking. Bottomline, the food and atmosphere were very good at the Moshulu, but service was definitely disappointing.Special Features:
- Birthday FunFunnyEDDined on 9/3/2014My wife has been wanting to go here for some time now and I finally took her on her Birthday, which turned out to be the perfect surprise. The hostess and wait-staff were incredibly attentive to any and all of our needs. They had a birthday card for my wife in her menu right at the start. The food was AMAZING! We ordered calamari as an appetizer with flavored squid ink garnish - very different and fun. Our entrees were scallops and swordfish and were fantastically cooked. The swordfish was melt-in-your-mouth tender! We skipped desert and alcohol as I had other plans for us, but they threw in a beautiful chocolate tray as complimentary desert! My wife couldn't have been happier. Very classy, very delicious, and right on the waterfront!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Subpar dining experience.JasonleeskinnerVIPDined on 9/1/2014Place is old & outdated. The service was slow & uninterested in being there. The food was mediocre at best. I wanted to try something different for our anniversary but I was sorry we did. We will not return!

Our server Andrew, made us feel really special on a very special day. It was an absolutely outstanding experience. We'll most definitely be back to dine at the Moshulu!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Brunchkt360Dined on 8/31/2014Possibly the best brunch I've ever had. Considering the fact that it's on an old ship with a great view and priced fairly, this brunch is second to none.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So soJayCod01Dined on 8/30/2014My wife and I had high hopes since the restaurant got such good ratings but it was a disappointment. Everything was average and there was not anything special about our experience or our meals. We got the Foie Gras and raw oysters as our appetizers but we have had much better elsewhere. My wife got the lamb for her entree and it was a little bit fatty and I got the swordfish which just tasted like any other piece of fish I have had. We shared the lemon cheesecake for dessert which was the highlight of the meal. We had a window seat so we had a niece view of Penn's Landing at least. Overall it was a very expensive meal to just get a mediocre dinner.Special Features:
- Great ExperienceKTfromDurangoDined on 8/28/2014My husband and I were in Philadelphia for a conference. Because our 32nd anniversary coincided with our visit, we decided to celebrate in style. I made reservations at The Moshulu and we weren't disappointed. They treated us to complementary champagne, a lovely card, and a special dessert. The food was very good and the service was excellent.Special Features:
- not disappointedbriguyDined on 8/27/2014Friendly staff. Quality food. Nice setting. Great for pics afterwards.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So So Brunch SelectionOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/24/2014The service was excellent and attentive, the setting attractive. The variety of offerings was adequate, but the quality of food was merely average, and of course it is an all you can eat buffet. It's an OK place to go with a group when you want a special setting in Philadelphia.Special Features:
- Perfect Sunday afternoonIlove2eatDined on 8/24/2014Stopped by for Sunday brunch to see the piano player (20's 30's tunes). Food was fair, notable was the salmon perfectly not overlooked (not an easy thing for a buffet). Service a bit slow even though not terribly packed. piano player was the best part.Special Features:
- Good food, great serviceSmc136Dined on 8/23/2014The food was good, had filet mignon, and boyfriend had crabcake, but very expensive for ok food (nothing that blew us away). Service was absolutely great, very attentive, quick with the food and drinks. The ambiance was nice for a date or special occasion, wish we could have sat on the side facing the river but still nice. Dress code was definitely nicer than we thought reading some of the other reviews. Overall very good, just a bit on the expensive side.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I give it 2 thumbs up.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Shit, does anybody know of any hotlines or other such resources in the U.S., particularly New York, that would be helpful for male victims of domestic abuse? Especially ones that aren't some twisted MRA kind of shit? I really have to do something about this.
Arturo is a 29-year-old male polar bear currently living in Argentina's Mendoza Zoo. He is suffering in 40C (104F) heat in an enclosure that has just 20 inches of water for him to swim in and has as a consequence been displaying worrying behavior.
Please sign this petition or at least spread the word in order to have Arturo transferred to a zoo in Canada which has better facilities for an animal that is used to polar conditions.

This is really not okay.
I think some people fail to realize that men can be sexually assaulted, too, and not just by other men. This girl shoves him against the wall and slaps him three fucking times when he pushes her away. Heck, he has to push her away twice before she backs off for a moment. Then she goes right back to kissing him.
If the genders were reversed, everyone on this site would be flipping a shit. And if anyone dares to tell me that it's different when a girl does it to a guy, I will personally write you a three-page essay on why it is still not okay.
I'm just going to REBLOG this all the fucking time

The No Bully System is based on evolving research in neuroscience and evolutionary biology. Recent research reveals that students—even those who bully—are capable of empathy and kindness when their school creates the conditions that support these behaviors.
Solution Team® draws upon research findings that humans are wired for empathy and altruism from the first years of life. Evolutionary biology has shown that human survival as a species depends on our innate capacity to operate in groups and take care of each other. When students come together in a Solution Team® and discover that a peer is suffering because of bullying, and when they are told that they are not in trouble, the vast majority is sufficiently moved to bring the bullying to an end. Solution Team® creates the conditions in which peers who were formerly bystanders become allies, and ensures that the student who was bullied is given acceptance.
The No Bully System recognizes that most students bully as a result of personal challenges—not a lack of empathy. Painful home lives, lack of social and emotional skills, the influence and prejudices of students around them, or habituation to aggression can all contribute to bullying behavior.

This sounds awesome. I'd love to see this being used & the staff actually sticking to it instead of the school bragging about having an anti-bullying policy that they never ever enforce.
[Text: "Maybe when you meet the right person, he/she will fix you." asexualproblems.tumblr.com]
You know, I thought about this reply & it has some very disturbing implications when you think about it.
According to them, Mr/Ms Right is just about the "one" who ends up turning you on, who you want to have sex with, who makes you "normal"….but they say nothing about how they treat you as a person.
Lets say Alex here has never been sexually attracted to someone before. They know this, but doesn't know anyone else like them even exists & may not be aware that it's ok. So Alex is kind of worried about it explains this to someone & that someone gives them that line we just love hearing, "That will change when you meet the right person". So Alex thinks "Ok, that makes sense…I guess." Some time goes by & for whatever reason, be it sexual fluidity, "late blooming", being grey - A or whatever, Alex does meet someone who they're not only infatuated with, but also sexually attracted to. Even better, they find out this "Right" person's feelings are mutual. So they decide to date & for a while it all seems to work out.
Of course Alex is thinking at this point that maybe it was true, maybe they just really needed the "right" person for their feelings to change….but then it slowly starts to dawn on them that Mr/Ms Right is actually a very manipulative/abusive/control freak of a partner. By the time Alex realizes how bad it is, they have no idea how to get out of it. And to make things worse, the "right" person over here knows the impact they have on Alex….
"You can't leave me, I'm the one who made you normal……you'd be a freak of nature if it wasn't for me….you would just be a waste of flesh. I'm the one who fixed you.."
Maybe it is unlikely that a scenario like this will happen, but I see no reason why it can't.
You know something is wrong when what makes the "right person" just that has nothing to do with how they treat you, but rather is defined by the fact you must be sexually drawn to them. I'm sure they didn't mean it, I'm positive it didn't even cross their minds when they said it….partially because nobody likes to think about it, but it sounds like being "fixed" is more important than having a sense of self-worth, security & an overall healthy, functional relationship….even if that relationship meant no sex.

Are you a good candidate for hormone therapy? Click to fill out our PRIORITY RESPONSE form and find out!
Ahmad AM, Hopkins MT, Thomas J, Ibrahim H, Fraser WD, Vora JP June 2001, Vol, 54 No. 6 709
OBJECTIVE: Adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) is characterized by abnormalities in body composition and a poor preceived quality of life (QoL). Weight-based high-does growth hormone replacement (GHR) results in improvements in body composition and QoL in AGHD. However, a high patient percentage reported side-effects on high-dose GHR resulting in a high rate of patient withdrawal from growth hormone (GH) treatment. High-dose GH therapy also leads to supraphysiological serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations that have been associated with breast and prostate cancer, raising major concerns over the use of such high-dose GH regimen in AGHD. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of low-dose growth hormone replacement (GHR) on body composition and QoL as early as 1 and 3 months.
Study Design
A prospective, open treatment design study to determine the early effects of low-dose GH administration on body composition and QoL. GH was initiated at a daily does of 0.4-0.5 IU, and titrated up to achieve and maintain IGF-1 standard deviation score (IGF-1 SDS) between the median and upper end of the age-related reference range.
Forty-six, post pituitary surgery, severe AGHD patients (22 women), defined as peak GH response <9 mU/l to provocative testing. The mean age was 50.4 years (range 26-72). Forty-three patients required additional pituitary replacement hormones following pituitary surgery and were on optimal doses at recruitment.
Body composition and QoL were assessed prior to GHR and subsequently at 1 and 3 months after initiating GHR. Body mass index (BMI) and waist hip ration (WHR) were calculated from measurements of height, weight, and waist and hip circumference, respectively. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was used to determine body fat and lean body mass. QoL was assessed using the disease-specific 'QoL-assessment of growth hormone deficiency in adults (QoL-AGHDA)' questionnaire. Serum IGF-1 was measured at each visit to assess the adequacy of GHR.
IGF-1 and IGF-1 SDS increased significantly at 1 and 3 months (P<0.001) after commencing GHR. The increase in IGF-1 (P<0.05) and IGF-1 SDS (P<0.01) was significant between 1 and 3 months in the absence of any significant increase in GH dose (P= ns) during this period. Eighty-five per cent of patients achieved IGF-1 SDS levels between median and upper end of the age-related reference range after 3 months of GHR, and no side-effects were reported during this period. There was a significant reduction in body fat percentage (BFP) from 36.1 +/- 9.1% at baseline to 34.9 +/- 9.3% (P<0.01) at 1 month and 34.1 +/- 9.2% (P<0.001) at 3 months. Body fat mass (BFM) reduced from 32.8 +/- 13.6 kg at baseline to 31.9 +/- 13.9 kg at 1 month (P<0.05) and 31.1 +/- 13.6 kg at 3 months (P< 0.001). These changes in BFP and BFM occurred in the absence of any significant change in BMI and WHR (P= ns). Lean body mass (LBM) was 55.9 +/- 11.1 kg at baseline and increased to 57.1 +/- 11.3 kg after 1 month (P<0.01) and to 57.6 +/- 11.5 kg (P<0.001) after 3 months of GHR. Significant improvement was observed in the perceived QoL with the AGHD assessment scores reducing from 13.3 +/- 6.4 to 11.5 +/- 6.6 within 1 month (P<0.01) and 10.0 +/- 6.6 at 3 months (P<0.001). There was no significant correlation between improvement in QoL and changes in body fat percentage (r=0.01 at 1 month and r=0.12 at 3 months, P=ns) or IGF-1 levels (r=0.04 and r=0.003, P=ns at 1 and 3 months, respectively). The improvement in the body composition and QoL was significant between 1 and 3 months.
Low-dose GHR improves body composition and QoL as early as 1 month after commencement and the beneficial effects continue at 3 months. Most importantly these changes occur in the absence of side-effects. We therefore suggest the use of low-dose GH therapy, maintaining IGF-1 between the median and upper end of the age-related reference range, for the treatment of AGHD.

Dear Colleagues,
My time as Chancellor has finally come to an end. Chancellor-elect Bjong Wolf Yeigh will formally take office on September 1, 2013 but has been quite active and engaged since his appointment. He and his wife Sandy are now heading west from Vermont with their cat and two dogs. I know you will give them a warm UW Bothell welcome when they arrive.
It has been a great honor to serve as Chancellor for the past six years. Shirley and I are grateful for your support and friendship over these years and easily conclude that this is the best campus that we have had the pleasure to serve.
It has been a remarkable six years. Growth and excellence describe these years well. We graduated nearly as many students (over 1,400) this past June as the entire campus enrollment was six years ago! Our students are demonstrating exceptional accomplishments by winning Fulbright scholarships and gaining admission to the best graduate schools, law schools, and medical schools. Others have entered their chosen careers or advanced along their professional/career tracks and are contributing to the economic and social fabric of our community. I know that all of us take great pride in these achievements.
Our faculty and staff have also grown remarkably over these years both in number (nearly doubling the faculty) and accomplishments. Faculty have graciously welcomed more and more students, created new degree programs, and continued to provide every student with the personalized education that is a signature of the UW Bothell culture. The tremendous amount of creative and scholarly production of the faculty would take pages to document. Staff have opened new academic support programs, processed and admitted thousands of student applications, managed larger budgets and facilities, and continue to do their work with the warmth and caring that also characterize the UW Bothell culture. Two staff received Fulbright awards this year. And, both faculty and staff have maintained these high standards and positive culture despite the lack of state support for enhanced financial compensation.
Finally, I want to thank our three Vice Chancellors, Susan Jeffords, Marilyn Cox, and Richard Penny. They are extraordinary leaders who deserve all the credit for the accomplishments of the past six years. I am truly grateful for their deep commitment to this campus and for putting up with me. I also want to thank President Michael Young and Provost Ana Mari Cauce for their support and guidance and their unfailing commitment to this campus.
I leave you knowing that Shirley and I will always have a home at UW Bothell. I look forward to returning to the faculty in 2014.
Best wishes,

President Obama signed legislation Friday to prevent federal student loan interest rates from doubling.
"In America, a higher education cannot be a luxury reserved for just a privileged few," Obama said. "It's an economic necessity that every American family should be able to afford."
Here's a breakdown of what student borrowers can't afford not to know:
Unsubsidized, private loans not included
This new legislation has no effect on the estimated $168 billion in outstanding debt students have racked up through private loans. Interest terms for private loans are set by the lender and vary based on credit score or are fixed at an often high rate.
Unsubsidized loans are not issued based on financial need and students are responsible for repaying all interest accrued before and after graduation. The current rate for an unsubsidized loan sits at 6.8%.
Unsubsidized is the only type of Stafford loan for which graduate and professional students are eligible.
Subsidized rates hold steady
Subsidized Stafford loans are awarded to undergraduate students who show financial need. The government pays the interest while the student is enrolled in school. The rate for these loans will remain at 3.4 percent. Obama estimated that over 7 million students would have been hit with a whopping interest rate without the new bill. The spike would have tacked on an estimated $1,000 to the average loan repayment.
No more interest grace periods
Any subsidized loans issued during the 2012-2013 academic year will accumulate interest during the six-month grace period after graduation. The government will continue to cover the interest for students that borrowed before July 1. This practice is scheduled to resume within the next two years.
Only a temporary fix
On July 1 every year, planned changes to federal student aid go into effect unless last-minute action by Congress happens that changes the legislation before the president signs it. Students breathing a sigh of relief before borrowing more federal money should be aware that the rate freeze is only good for one year.
Next summer, it could be a whole new set of financial circumstances if the rate is scheduled to double again without a congressional reprieve this time.
