High School Students Help In Texas Tech Research
The Institute of Environmental and Human Health (TIEHH) at Texas Tech University has made history for the Technical Association of Pulp and Paper Industry's (TAPPI) nonwovens division due to the university's involvement of high school students in its cotton nonwovens research.
Kahan Chavda, a senior from St. Mark's School of Texas in Dallas; Aarav Chavda, a junior from St. Mark's School of Texas; Ronald Kendall Jr., a senior from Lubbock Coronado High School; and Luke Kitten, a senior from Lubbock Trinity High School, participated in the research.
The research from these high school students contributed to the work on oil absorption by cotton nonwovens and was presented at the leading nonwovens conference in Atlanta.
"This is a very significant achievement," says TAPPI president Larry Montague. "To my knowledge, this is the first time that high school students were specifically targeted and brought to an event like TAPPI."
The students not only attended the conference but also participated in the program sessions, as well as interacted with professionals already working in the nonwovens industry.
TIEHH's research focuses on West Texas cotton, specifically the 10 percent of cotton that, due to the weather in the region, doesn't fully mature and must be sold at a discounted rate.

MANA Gains Approval For New Herbicide
Parallel Plus herbicide, manufactured by MANA Crop Protection, has received approval by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for a new state of the art formulation of metolachlor and atrazine for use on corn and grain sorghum.
Using MANA Crop Protection proprietary technology, new Parallel Plus provides superior and effective levels of material stability, optimizing suspension integrity during pre-season (winter) storage and in advance of spring application. Parallel Plus also requires less time and manual attention to handling and mixing – eliminating the need for monthly re-circulation during extended storage periods. In comparison to other metolachlor/atrazine offerings, re-search completed by the manufacturer has shown that Parallel Plus surpasses the competition of these specific suspension and product handling characteristics.
For more information about MANA Crop Protection, Parallel Plus and other products in the portfolio, visit www.manainc.com.

Dow Launches Program To Control Waterhemp Weed
Waterhemp has a cunning way of adapting, with an emergence pattern that lasts throughout the summer and has an ability to produce a large number of seeds.
The survivability of the weed was demonstrated in recently released results from a University of Nebraska evaluation involving a grass field, where sequential treatments ofan auxin herbicide over a 15-year period resulted in an isolated caseof resistance.
The Enlist Weed Control System, under development by Dow Agro-Sciences, was designed with resistance management principles in mind and an understanding that nature (including the weed control landscape) will always adapt; effective weed control technology must be ready to handle its many changes.
The Enlist system combines herbicide tolerance traits that will enable the use of glyphosate, glufosinate (in soybeans and cotton), and FOP chemistries (in corn) as well as new 2,4-D choline, to combat a wide range of weed pressures.
CCI Hosts Korean Executives On Manufacturers Tour
CCI hosted the COTTON USA Korean Apparel Manufacturers Tour to the United States, Oct. 3-7. Twenty Korean yarn and fabric sourcing executives and garment production executives participated in the tour.
The group's first stop was Memphis, Tenn., where the executives visited a cotton farm and gin, USDA cotton classing office, National Cotton Council and Allenberg trading company. The group then divided into four groups to visit the factories of several COTTON USA Sourcing Program members.
The U.S. spinning mills represented in the group included Buhler, Frontier, Jo Mar, Parkdale, Tuscarora and Zagis. The group also included U.S. knitting mills such as Antex Knitting Mills and Tontempora Fabrics.
The Korean textile and garment manufacturers that have operations in Central America and the Caribbean continue to be important clients for U.S. yarns and fabrics. The event also created an opportunity to bring together the supply chain from yarn to garment and show the benefits of U.S.-grown raw cotton.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
Bush's 'dire' message tops news from presidential campaign
There were some tough calls to be made last night in the nation's newsrooms. Lead with President Bush's dreary address to the nation on the economic crisis or go with Sen. John McCain's call to delay Friday's debate with Sen. Barack Obama in light of the financial situation?
A scan of the front pages shows that most newspapers went with the Bush speech. "Our Entire Economy is in Danger," reads the headline in the Chicago Sun-Times, The Indianapolis Star and many others, quoting the president. (And with headlines like that, who needs coffee?)
It appears headline writers might have dug into their thesauruses last night to convey the news that things aren't good right now. Two popular words? "Dire" and "peril." "Bush makes dire appeal for fast bailout," reads the top of The Arizona Republic in Phoenix. The Tulsa (Okla.) World leads with "Bush warns of economic peril."
Meanwhile, the Quad-City Times (Davenport, Iowa) makes Bush's plea sound like an office memo from your cranky boss. "Bush: Enact Bailout ASAP." And the one headline that White House spin-meisters might put in their scrapbook is from the Reno (Nev.) Gazette-Journal, which declares "Bush's Talk Gets High Marks."
No doubt Mississippi will be plenty disappointed if tomorrow's debate is canceled. Its front pages reflect that gloom: "Debate or Bailout?" screams the headline of The Clarion-Ledger in Jackson, while The Commercial Appeal from neighboring Tennessee asks, "Debate on Hold?"
A few papers put the debate question in a term that any sports fan — or disciplining parent — can relate to. "Time Out?" asks the Stamford, Conn., Advocate. "Calling a Timeout," writes The Denver Post on McCain's announcement.
The San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News manages to get both issues up front with the aesthetically pleasing, side-by-side headline that reads "Debate Or No Debate?" and "Bailout Or No Bailout?"
And we know that it's more than a month before Halloween, but we are really digging the Duluth (Minn.) News Tribune headline on the economy that reads simply "Meltdown" in a ghoulish, green font that is a must-see.

James Van Der Beek Expecting First Child With Girlfriend
"Dawson" is going to be a dad.
James Van Der Beek confirmed he and girlfriend Kimberly Brook are gearing up to be parents.
"Yes, it's true - the woman I love and I are expecting our first child," James wrote on his Twitter page on Friday afternoon.
The star, who as a 20-something played Dawson Leery on the hit WB series, "Dawson's Creek," said he is overwhelmed by his baby news.
"currently experiencing joy on levels I never knew existed," he added.
James, 33, met Kimberly, who is a business consultant, last July, according to People.
Just last month, James and Heather McComb finalized the terms of their divorce after nearly seven years of marriage. Their divorce becomes official on June 3.
According to court paperwork obtained by the Associated Press, James and Heather separated months before he officially filed for divorce in November 2009.

This bed set makes my room! Chevron is currently my absolute favorite pattern! I'm soo happy I have this, it definitely made all my expectations!
Exactly what I wanted! I surprised my daughter for her birthday wtih a bedroom makeover. I took the sham to a local store to get a color match for the paint and she was so surprised! She and her friends absolutely love this bed set! I've recommended this site for their purchase of this bedding. The thickness of the quilt comforter was perfect! Quality through-and-through.
Bought this for my 13 year old granddaughter - it exceeded our expectations!
I highly recommend this product. Very good material
Based on the other reviews, I purchased the King sized version of the product. I am glad I did. I have a queen sized bed and the quilt drapes nicely. However, in order to get the nice looking drape, I had to rotate the quilt 90 degrees, so that the stripes go from the head to the foot of the bed instead of across the bed horizontally. I don't mind doing this, in fact, I like it better. The shams are zippered, which is nice. If you get the King Size then you will want to get king sized (longer than standard) pillows to go in them. The quilt fabric is really soft and cozy, how ever it is pretty thin. In the winter, I plan to add another blanket under the quilt. I got dark grey sheets from *******. I also like that the quilt and shams are reversible, which add a bit of dimension and depth. The little pillow is a little odd but I like it. So, Overall, I think this is an excellent product, but it could be improved by making each size of the quilt bigger.
It seem to be a hit or miss on the color. The color I got was more of a teal than turquoise which was what wanted. However the quality is good. The pillow is a cute accent.

In honor of Earth Day on Sunday, today's #FF honors two endeavors which would not be possible without major technological innovations, and yet they give us the chance to visualize, experience, and appreciate our physical world in ways we would not have imagined.
Google Earth
All of the effort and technology pouring into Google Earth enables us to fly around the world, re-live the history of our planet, and even locate our long-lost birth mothers.
(What did you expect? it's Google)
Frozen Planet
I don't know what it is more captivating – witnessing a pod of killer whales ingeniously tag-team a poor unsuspecting seal, seeing the Arctic glaciers melt and re-form again before your eyes, or watching it all come together in the 'Making Of' clips behind my newest favorite series - Frozen Planet on Discovery Channel. (Plus, it's narrated by Alec Baldwin – good God penguin!)
This show highlights the happenings of the Arctic and Antarctic polar regions and features some of the most spectacular footage I have seen. In the clip here titled Technology + Innovation, they explain on how breakthroughs in high-speed and timelapse photography, phantom cameras, and onsite data storage enabled the scientists and photo/videographers to capture moments that would otherwise go undocumented.
Celebrate Earth Day this year by tuning into the series finale this Sunday.

You'd think it would be fairly easy for Washington Post fact check columnist Glenn Kessler to render a judgment on a politician's claims when they involve numbers that can be checked. Yet somehow Kessler's Sunday column manages to find ambiguity in a recent jobs number claim by President Obama.
The column focuses on comments Obama made to the New York Times on July 24 about the estimated number of jobs the Keystone XL pipeline project would create. As Kessler notes, the number he cites is directly contracted by the State Department's own March estimate. Yet he grades Obama's comments as if they were a half-truth, giving it "two Pinocchios."
Kessler has an odd habit of doing this type of thing. As the Washington Examiner has previously documented, he typically does an excellent job researching the background and context of a politician's claims — and then inexplicably assigns a grade that is not backed up by his own reporting. (Kessler has, to his credit, been a good sport about the Examiner's past criticisms of him.)
The print version of Kessler's column apparently isn't online. An earlier version was posted on July 30. It focuses on this claim by Obama:
My hope would be that any reporter who is looking at the facts would take the time to confirm that the most realistic estimates are this might create maybe 2,000 jobs during the construction of the pipeline — which might take a year or two.
As Kessler points out, the State Department's estimate for the jobs the project would create is 3,900 over a one- to two-year period. That is just the number directly employed in pipeline construction. The report estimated the total number of jobs directly and indirectly created over that period at 42,100.
"This employment would potentially translate to approximately $2.05 billion in earnings," the report noted.
The caveat here is that Obama may not have been referring to the State Department report, but an estimate by an outside group. But if that was the case, the White House declined to clear up the matter when the Kessler asked it directly. (Obama himself never said what his source was. If he thinks the State Department report was wrong, he should just say so.)
That being the case, Kessler treats the State Department report as the relevant source. So Obama gave a figure that was — at best — just a half of what the report said. Here's how the Post's columnist grades this:
Perhaps he is tipping his hand on what he secretly thinks of the Keystone XL by citing a low-ball figure, generated by the pipeline's opponents, but he should stick to using the official government estimate. Otherwise, the president ironically seems to be signaling that even his own government does not produce the "most realistic" estimate that should be used by reporters. He earns two Pinocchios.
Yes, well, instead of grading what the president may or may not have been "ironically signaling" perhaps a fact check column should grade what he actually said. Absent any clarification from the White House, the numbers Obama gave are clearly contradicted by the figures his own administration has produced. How is this not a "four Pinocchios" situation?
This made even more baffling by the fact that Kessler also notes that his colleagues at Politifact rated Obama's statements as "false," as did the Associated Press. By effectively rating Obama's comment as a half-truth he is giving the president the unearned benefit of the doubt.

Coping with Symptoms & Side Effects
If you have gone to the doctor because of movement symptoms, you may not be aware — and your doctor may not tell you at the time you are diagnosed —that Parkinson's disease manifests in many additional ways other than the more visible movement symptoms. Fatigue, constipation, and sleep problems are a few such examples of common non-movement symptoms of PD.
These changes are called nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson's. They can also include mild cognitive impairment (such as difficulty focusing on a task), depression, soft speech, pain, and impulsive behaviors.
These symptoms are frequently more troubling, and interfere more with daily life, than motor symptoms. Effective therapies are available to treat these symptoms — medications as well as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
Recognizing nonmotor symptoms, and understanding how they may affect your quality of life, is a first step toward taking control of your health and living well with Parkinson's.

Fort Bliss (U.S. Army) — Fort Bliss Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation:
Due to the 100-person capacity of the Biggs Park Splash Park, the following policy will be implemented when that capacity is reached:
• Lifeguards will keep a head count of splash park patrons. One parent or adult per six children must accompany children at all times.
• Upon entry to the splash park, patrons will be issued wrist bands. No wristbands will be issued in advance; patrons must be present and in line to receive a wrist band.
• When the 100-person capacity is reached, lifeguards will not allow additional patrons to enter the splash park until either patrons leave (with a one-for-one exchange) or a new session begins (at times specified below.)
• When there are more than 10 patrons awaiting entry, two-hour sessions will be implemented. The beginning times for sessions are noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. The changeover will take place at the appropriate break enforced by lifeguards.
• Patrons who gain entry 30 minutes or less prior to the new session due to someone leaving, will be allowed to re-enter the next session without waiting in line. They will be issued the correct wristband for the following session when they enter the splash park.
• Patrons who wish to enter the splash park more than 30 minutes prior to a new session enter with the understanding they will be asked to leave when the session ends.
• Patrons who have been asked to vacate at the end of a session may get back in line for reentry, following the above guidelines, and will receive a new wristband upon entry.
The intent of this policy is to set guidelines for patrons and staff when Biggs Park Splash Park capacity is met. There will be some instances where basic logic will be a better guideline to get patrons into the splash park efficiently, and the above policy may be adjusted at the lifeguard's discretion. Guests of pavilion renters are allowed use of the splash park. All users of the splash park will adhere to posted safety rules and guidelines, and follow lifeguards' instructions.
Download a copy of the policy at www.blissmwr.com/pools [1].
The Aquatics Training Center, located at 20733 Constitution Ave. on East Fort Bliss, has a shallow-to-deep, zero-depth entry multipurpose pool available for use by younger patrons, as well.

Our organic sourcing ensures that our cocoa extract is produced using raw, non-GMO beans harvested without the use of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and synthetic fertilizers.
CocoaWell's StoryFollowing centuries of tradition, indigenous people off the coast of Panama drink up to 40 cups of fresh cocoa per week and experience incredible health benefits. According to Harvard studies, they experience 1/9 the rate of heart disease and 1/16 the rate of other age-related illnesses as thei neighbors on the mainland.
Inspired by their coveted health practices, they developed a proprietary, innovative method to deliver the health benefits of fresh, organic cocoa in a two-capsule serving, without the calories and sugar associated with dark chocolate. Introducing CocoaWell: Guided by the customs of a culture devoted to cocoa, dedicated to a higher quality of life.
Cocoawell's LineA recent study published in the Chemistry Central Journal has demonstrated that cocoa contains more antioxidants than other renowned superfruits like acai, blueberry, cranberry, and pomegranate. Research conducted by Norman Hollenberg at Harvard University has documented that the Kuna Indians, who live on the San Blas islands off the coast of Panama, have 1/9 the incidence of heart attack, stroke, diabetes and cancer. They consume more cocoa than any other people in the world — up to 6 cups/day or 40 cups/week.

I have used smartphones (mostly Nokia) for a few years now but started using BlackBerry since July 2010 and have never been a day without a BlackBerry ever since – until now. The BlackBerry device became the central point of my daily communication routine. I could read, forward, reply personal and business emails quickly. I could follow the conversation streams on Facebook and Twitter apps when I was idle. I could take photos at events and post same to Twitpic without waiting till I got to my laptop. I could chat with friends far and near via BlackBerry Messenger or some of the other chat apps installed on the device. I used phone calls and SMS only where extremely necessary, thus saving costs. I could manage my blogs from the device: moderate comments, publish new blog posts, view traffic stats etc. I could grab trophies from FourSquare as I explore new places. I could find my way around using Google Maps. I even completed hotel bookings on the device, using BlackBerry Travel app. Granted, the BlackBerry smartphone could never replace the full experience of a laptop for me, but it made me much more efficient as I had a lesser workload to tackle when I sat behind my laptop.
You can thus understand how frustrating it has been in the past 10 days that I have been without the full benefits of my BlackBerry smartphone. Most personal emails remain unread, I'm struggling with a piling workload, over 150 comments are pending moderation on my personal blog alone, I'm out of touch with friends I normally chat with regularly. I'm unable to share the fun of: Cape Town, WordCamp, how I celebrated my birthday, and other escapades in South Africa. In a nutshell, life has not been so frustrating in recent days.
Yes. I have tried very hard to fix this problem. I've subscribed to BlackBerry Internet Service from two cellular operators: Vodacom SA and MTN SA. I've contacted MTN Nigeria where I last used the device successfully and they confirmed my device is not tied to their network, I've called MTN and Vodacom customer service over 16 times, I've visited MTN offices in Cape Town and Jo'burg 3 times, I've wiped the device and re-installed the operating system in case any of the installed apps is causing the problem. MTN is suggesting the device is the problem, I've entered the settings they gave me and diligently followed all their suggestions. All to no avail. Now I am in touch with RIM, manufacturers of BlackBerry smartphones.
This little experience I am still going through has emphasized how much many of us have come to rely on smartphones, for running our personal and business lives. It is quite normal fiddle with the smartphone before falling asleep and it is the first thing we grab before brushing our teeth in the morning or saying those morning prayers. Ah, I use the Bible app on my smartphone more than my bulky physical Bible.
Business life is much easier with a BlackBerry but when things go wrong, life can be hectic. Very hectic.
Have you been separated from the joy of using your smartphone for a long period? Share the experience in the comment area.
Can't you just subscribe to a non-blackberry data plan and then accomplish most of the same functionality. Especially if you carry another smartphone.
My other smartphone is now old. The touchscreen is hardly responsive. I keep it just for taking phone calls, playing music, listening to radio and podcasts.
This story illustrates the wisdom of not having one's egg in one basket – whenever practicable – even if that basket is made of concrete)..
Yes; each time technology fails, it causes a major disruption in an ordered and orderly life!
Interesting post, but to answer your question absolutely not. Smart phones may be useful devices but being indispensable even in this jet age I don't think so.
I don't use a smart phone but I can still do some of this tech stuff even when I am on the move.
Sorry my oga. This is a very sympathetic. I pray you get this resolved on time.
The solution is simple. Before you traveled, you would have simply paid for your BIS subscription here in Nigeria to last you the period you will be in SA and once you land in SA, using your same MTN Nigeria sim inside your phone, you could have simply connected to WiFi and still enjoyed the full services of your Blackberry as your BIS is still active on your home network.
Works like Magic!
Thanks Eta. I did just that before, between Ghana and Nigeria. I just didn't expect BIS won't work on the device, in SA.
good post on modern life!for a truly global society, problems like these need to be solved! Also, this explains why getting hold of u has been tough lately
Oh Charle, pele ooo. Me sef I have tried to ping you a couple of times to no avail. I guessed you were in this kind of scenario and knowing you as I do, I can imagine and even 'feel' your frustration.
I on the other hand have been lucky. Even though I'm out of Ghana my BB has been working 80% of the time, which I wasn't expecting at all
Se you in Gh soon
Nice write up on bb. Bb is quite indispensible.
Any one knows the top 10 Android smartphones selling on the Ghanaian Market?

DETROIT (WKZO) -- U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes is delaying a hearing on whether to approve Detroit's restructuring plan.
Thursday, Rhodes said the hearing will start on July 16th instead of June 16th. The extra month will allow creditors and the city more time to reach agreements, as several major creditors had said the original schedule was rushed.
Rhodes has set an April 14th hearing to consider objections to the city's disclosure statement and deadlines in April and June for retirees, bondholders and creditors to file objections to the restructuring plan.

Keep It Clean With A Corn Kerneler
When I was younger fresh corn on the cob was one of my absolute favorite things to eat. That was until I got braces and well, that just wasn't a pretty sight so that's when I started cutting the kernels off and eating them with a fork. Now that I'm well past the brace face years, I've yet to return to that on the cob eating style.
Problem is, cutting the kernels off the cob is almost as messy as actually digging right into it. I've definitely looked down to discover half of the kernels next to my plate as opposed to on it where they should be. I never really put much thought into a solution until I came across a pretty unique tool — the Corn Kerneler.
The corn kerneler features stainless blades that quickly and easily remove the kernels. The best part is that there's no mess because the kerneler holds the kernels in the basin until you're ready to pour them out through the handy spout. Also, if you're a real corn lover and know you want two pieces, the basin can hold up to two cobs of corn!

I saw the Corn Kerneler at Design a Kitchen few days ago. Quite convenient.. and sweet corn season is almost here...
Really! I just don't see the kernels "pouring" out of the spout.... think I will stick with a sharp paring knife to remove kernels from the cob...
Ugh. Really? This was a unitasker on unclutterer.com and I agree with them.
Can we say unitasker??
I just stick with a sharp knife. And a bowl.
I'll add my "no thanks" to all the others. This goes on the list of extreme unitaskers.
I think this looks pretty cool. I would at least try it!
I still have wire retainers on the back of my teeth nearly 10 years after having my braces off, and I've gone without corn cobs the whole time.
A couple of weeks ago I said 'to hell with it' and chomped into a full cob. It took a while with floss to get all the bits out but it's SO MUCH MORE SATISFYING than eating little bits of corn with a fork.
lizrocks is right. I've noticed several times when The Kitchn features a product that was recently highlighted on Unclutterer's "Unitasker Wednesday" posts.
I'd consider buying the simpler corn zipper. When I slice corn off the cob with a knife, the kernels go flying everywhere. Plus I can't cut all that close to the core, so there's a lot of waste. That, more than the mess, is what annoys me.
I can't eat corn on the cob, only off of it. This is amazing!!
The reviews on this that I read said that most cobs won't fit through the center, and it isn't adjustable.
i have a corn zipper & while i use it quite a bit during fresh corn season, it's still messy. not as messy as a knife (which i never got the hang of) but still. i'd be willing to give this unitasker a try!

|Newton Photographs Collection : Miscellaneous Newell family photographs, 1800s-1900s - S. Allen's Sons Hardware Store -
|The Newell family of Newton, Massachusetts typifies the transition of a family of farmers into industrialists. The collection centers on George Franklin Newell (1850-1934) - photographs of himself, the Connecticut River at Turners Falls, Massachusetts, the hardware store where he worked as a teenager in Greenfield, Massachusetts, the Newell and Plimpton family house at 87 Chestnut Street in West Newton, Massachusetts and the grounds and outbuildings on that property. Newell was born on July 4, 1850 in Colrain, Massachusetts, attended Highland Military Academy in Worcester, Massachusetts, and worked at the hardware store of S. Allen's Sons in Greenfield and at the New Home Sewing Machine Company in Orange, Massachusetts. In 1872 he married Homera Vaughan of Homer, Louisiana and had 3 sons, Frank G. Newell, Clarence C. Newell, and Eugene Newell. Eugene drowned in 1903 at Turners Falls. He moved to West Newton, Massachusetts around 1882 and invented the machine for cutting and covering boot and shoe web-strap, which he developed into the George F. Newell Manufacturing Company of Boston and ran for 47 years. In 1883 he married Clara E. Plimpton of West Newton and had 2 children, Channing P. Newell and Florence Newell (Mrs. Winslow D. Robinson.) - Collection consists of sepia photographs mounted on cardboard - "S. Allen's Sons Hardware Store in Greenfield, Mass. George F. Newell worked for Mr. Allen's store just prior to 1870 (when he was teenage or about then) and handled supplies for the Hoosac Tunnel project.

Five young Ravens who must contribute more in 2014
The Ravens were in Alabama this week to scout draft prospects at the Senior Bowl and they are also getting their Castle in order before the start of free agency in March. The Ravens need to bolster their roster to get back to the playoffs, but they will also need some of the younger players on their roster to develop into consistent, reliable performers. In this week's Five for Friday, Baltimore Sun reporter and blogger Matt Vensel lists five young Raven players who must contribute more in 2014.
Image 1 of 5
Arthur Brown, inside linebacker( Doug Kapustin, MCT / November 10, 2013 )
Not wanting to overwhelm Brown during his rookie year, the Ravens limited him to a specialized role on defense as a nickel linebacker and special teams. As a result, the 2013 second-round pick made just 15 tackles and forced a fumble. The Ravens are counting on bigger contributions from him this season. Coach John Harbaugh said after the season he expects Brown to seize the starting weak-side linebacker job next season. In the meantime, Brown will have to get stronger and continue to master the playbook.

This is the sixth year Feather Crest has donated to the food bank just before Easter. Officials with the food bank say protein items are hard to come by.
"We get gifts like this into the East Texas Food Bank, and then, in turn, it goes on our ordering list to our partner agencies, our food pantries, our soup kitchens, and they will be able to get those eggs and deliver those to families," said Carolyn Davis with the food bank.

Mark Duper has a special affinity for the Dolphins Cycling Challenge. It is the bike ride that saved his life.
Two years ago he felt discomfort in the saddle while pedaling down Collins Avenue. He had himself checked out and was diagnosed with renal cancer. Dupers oncologist removed a football-sized tumor and his right kidney.
The former Miami Dolphin receiver will be back on his bike Sunday, a healthy example of the DCC cause. All proceeds from the annual two-day, tri-county event, which raised $3.8 million in its first three years, go to the University of Miamis Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Michael Mandich, DCC chief, expects a record 2,500 cyclists to participate in 10 different rides that range from 13 to 170 miles.
The DCC is committed to supporting the community and the only local academic cancer center, said Mandich, whose late father, ex-Dolphin Jim Mad Dog Mandich, was an inspiration for the creation of the event by former Dolphins CEO Mike Dee. Mandich died at age 62 in 2011 after a one-year battle against bile duct cancer.
The camaraderie of the rides, some of which finish at Sun Life Stadium, embodies the spirit of Mandich, who humbly devoted himself to good deeds and good will. Even in his final weeks, when asked how he was doing, he gave his indefatigable reply: Never better!
Whats great about the ride is that youve got serious cyclists and occasional cyclists and little old ladies who are passing me, and were all coming together in this big parade trying to make progress against cancer, Duper said. It helps us in the short run and the long run.
He considers himself a direct beneficiary of the DCC. Like his old friend Mandich, he was treated at Sylvester on the recommendation of Dee and former Dolphin Nat Moore.
If not for their research at UM, I probably wouldnt be alive today, he said.
Duper, 55, never considered himself a cancer candidate. But during the 30-mile ride in 2011 his back hurt and he was short of breath and I knew I wasnt that out of shape, he said.
Dupers doctors credited the keen sense of his body he developed as an athlete for detecting that something was wrong.
I was lucky to catch it before it spread, he said of the malignant mass. As athletes weve been through a lot of physical trauma and drama. If its not your neck, its your knee, and if its not your knee, its your wrist. We have to pay attention to our bodies because we use them to make a living.
Today Duper is cancer free, playing golf and splitting time between his home in Jacksonville, his hometown in Louisiana and the 42-foot RV he keeps in Miramar. He has four children and four grandchildren and has repaired his relationship with youngest son Marcus, a high school senior, who accused Duper of child abuse in March when the two got into an argument about Marcus playing a video game, then got into a fight. Prosecutors dropped charges in August. Dupers lawyer said the boy had called police the day after and grossly exaggerated the details.
Im the father and hes the child and I feel I know what is best for him, Duper said. Im trying to raise him to make something of himself. Weve put it behind us.
As for his old team, the team for which he caught 511 passes for 8,869 yards and 59 touchdowns in 11 seasons with three Pro Bowl appearances while pairing with Mark Clayton and connecting with Dan Marino, Duper predicts a playoff berth.
But I do think the Dolphins need someone to teach the players to tune up their route running, he said. Im sure Ill be discussing that with Nat and the other guys while were riding.
If they can keep up with Super Duper, who says hes feeling better than ever.

Top Ten: Paper Towel Alternatives
Paper towels - so useful, yet so UNgreen for the most part.
We cut up some very old white bath towels into paper towel size sheets and have been happily using them instead of paper for most jobs, although we still keep some paper towels on hand for when we really feel like we need them.
We decided to search and see what we could come up with as good alternatives:
Let us know your ideas in the comments below...

It seems like the only time I use paper towels is when the cats throw up and I think that's the only thing I want to clean up cat vomit with.
These are a great substitute for paper towels. They're about the same weight as a really nice hefty paper towel, and so much softer. I got a pack of 30 at Bed, Bath & Beyond for $5, which works out to just under 17 cents per towel.

North America is the world's third-largest continent and, as scores of travellers will attest, boasts a unique collection of attractions to rival the most exotic locations in the world. Three water masses kiss its shores; the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and the Caribbean Sea, creating fabulous beaches that are a haven for sunbathers, surfers, divers and other kinds of thrill-seekers. Also within the 29 million square metres of this land are plenty of diverse species of flora and fauna. History buffs will have plenty of captivating monuments and museums full of interesting artefacts to quench their curiosity. HomeAway furnishes visitors to this part of the world with an incredible range of holiday accommodation options to make their stay comfy and peaceful. Mountain cabins and chalets, apartments with jaw-dropping views over the Caribbean, even luxurious yachts are just a few of the holiday rentals available to holidaymakers. There are conveniences such as barbecues, swimming pools and Internet access to make them feel right at home.
-National parks: There are many patches of land segregated to the protection of North America's biodiversity. The Lassen Volcanic National Park in California is one of them. It is endowed with dense pine forests and snow-capped mountains, the ideal setting for exhilarating hikes and camping. Naturists and hikers will also love Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada for its mirror-like lakes and stunning peaks. White-water rafting is one of many outdoor activities possible there.
-Amusement parks: Anyone who doesn't live under a rock knows about the Disneyland theme parks that are now virtually global. Disney World in Florida is one of the most fascinating of these parks and where holidaymakers will want to take their children come summer. Visitors could alternatively head to Los Angeles which is home to the Universal Studios. Here they'll get to tour the sets of some of their favourite Hollywood productions.
-Beaches: Made popular by American TV shows and movies, Hawaii is the place most everyone sees in their minds when dreaming of the perfect holiday. Millions of sun-worshippers flock to popular beaches such as Waikiki to soak up the rays and participate in surfing, swimming and other water sports. America's coastline also boasts a rich diversity of marine life some of which can be seen up-close in marine adventure parks such as SeaWorld in San Diego.
-Museums: Those thinking museums are just huge, cold halls housing dusty volumes and skeletons should pay a visit to the world famous American Museum of Natural History. It contains an interesting collection of artefacts and displays that tell the evolution story from when the earth began millions of years ago to where we are today. Visitors fascinated by dinosaurs will have a wealth of fossils to peruse while the kids can be kept busy with special programmes designed for their education and entertainment.
-Animal parks and zoos: One doesn't have to travel to Africa to get a feel of its jungles and the masses of wildlife therein. Holidaymakers can simply pay a visit to the Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay, Florida where they can feast their eyes and camera lenses on more than 2,700 animals. There are shows arranged for the enlightenment of tourists and hunger pangs can be appeased with the tantalizing offerings of the park's restaurants.
This vast continent comprises of locations with weather patterns that differ significantly. Starting from the extreme north, those headed for holiday homes in Canada are well advised to take advantage of the months between May and September. At this time of year temperatures are between 20 and 27°C. The rest of the year temperature averages are usually below 7°C and January frequently sees temperatures chillier than -10°C. Those keen on spending summer in holiday homes somewhere in the middle of North America, say Chicago, should prepare for temperatures above 30°C. Winters here can get extreme, with lows of up to -29°C being recorded on occasion.
Visitors travelling to holiday homes in North America have a long list of airports to chose from depending on their particular destination. Those headed to Canada can book flights to the country's busiest airport, the Toronto Pearson International Airport or the Vancouver International Airport which receives direct flights from Europe, Asia and other parts of North America daily. Holidaymakers headed for the Big Apple and its environs will want to book a flight that touches down at the famous John F. Kennedy International Airport. The Benito Juarez International Airport is the facility visitors headed to holiday homes in Mexico will likely use.

Enterprising Science Project
Enterprising Science is a 5 year partnership between the Science Museum, King's College London and BP, bringing together expertise, research and experience in informal science learning.
The aim of the project is to develop, test and disseminate new tools and techniques to engage more young people in secondary schools with science, and raise awareness of the value of science skills in any career. These tools will enable teachers, families, and museum educators to inspire, engage and support many more young people in their science learning.
There are 2 strands to the project:
Our 'Schools and Families' programme will work with teachers, with young people in schools, and with their families, to create a really joined-up and supportive learning environment for students. Our aim is for that environment to raise the value that young people place on science in their lives - hopefully helping that develop into a genuine interest in science and the ability to see that scientific skills (such as inquiry and creativity) can benefit any career.
On our Teacher Professional Partnership programme we will be working closely with small groups of partner teachers, to collaboratively develop and trial new tools and techniques for engaging students with science both inside and outside the classroom. The resources that come out of this will be disseminated across the UK in our Talk Science course for teachers and museum educators, and online - spreading good practice and innovative ideas far and wide.
This project builds on our successful Talk Science project which has been running since 2007. Armed with the experience and lessons learned, and combined with the research and team from Kings College London's five-year ASPIRES study of children's science and career aspirations, Enterprising Science aims to really understand and emphasize the impact and power of informal science learning.
As of spring 2014, Enterprising Science will also be delivered by the National Railway Museum York, the Museum of Science and Industry Manchester, and National Media Museum Bradford, working with schools, families and teachers in their regions. For more information about the project and the opportunities involved, please email us at: email@example.com

My favourite object in the Science Museum is…
It's hard to pick a favourite, but I've chosen Rowley's Original Orrery, which is one of the first orreries ever made. I love orreries; I have always enjoyed finding out about space, and they are such a great way to visualise the movement of the planets. The craftsmanship is amazing; I love the mechanical nature of it. It combines science with art, two of my favourite things, and reminds me of the Joseph Wright of Derby painting A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery 1766.
Beth Hawkins
Learning Resources Projects Manager
My favourite object in the Science Museum is…
Antony Gormley's Iron Baby. I love how it is an unexpected piece to find in the Science Museum, hidden on the floor between the museum cases. It generates so much curiosity, questions and reactions, depicting something so fragile and beautiful and yet it is made from a material that is so strong. I love how some people want to stroke and nurture it, whilst others kick it!
Christopher Whitby
Learning Audience Researcher and Advocate
My favourite object in the Science Museum is…
The trephination kit: This object would have been used to drill a small hole into the skull, and has been seen as a means of curing a range of illnesses, including mental health problems, headaches, and even letting out evil spirits. What intrigues me about this object – apart from it being wonderfully gruesome – is how it shows that science is always changing, and what we believe to be true, or the best way of doing things is changing all the time (even if some people still practice this today). It is exciting to think that people are constantly researching, exploring, and altering the way we think about the world – that, and I would prefer another, less scary, way to deal with a headache.
Micol Molinari
Learning Resources Project Coordinator
My favourite object in the Science Museum is…
The Lockheed 10A Electra plane, because I love to imagine what it would have felt like to buy a ticket for its maiden voyage. The anticipation and excitement as we wait for takeoff on the runway… Are my fellow passengers talking to each other, giggling nervously? Are they in awed silence? Are we being told to fasten our seatbelts, like we are so used to today? It must have been amazing to be one of the first lucky passengers to fly in this awesome aircraft. Standing under the shadow of its wings I can be one of them.
Jane Dowden
Learning Resources Project Coordinator
My favourite object in the Science Museum is…
In Making the Modern World there is a tiny bottle containing an original sample of William Perkin's Mauveine dye. The 18 year old was trying to develop a cure for malaria when he produced this purple dye by accident. William's ability to see potential in a failed experiment and his business ambitions led to his work marking the beginning of a whole new industry in synthetic dyes. And it means I can wear purple!
Kate Davis
Learning Resources Project Developer
My favourite object in the Science Museum is…
The Vickers Vimy Biplane. This object blew me away when I first saw it! This was the first plane to fly non-stop all the way across the Atlantic Ocean and I couldn't believe that I was actually standing underneath the genuine article. The adventures that Alcock and Brown had during their flight are amazing and I wonder, if this plane could speak, what tales it could tell.
Enterprising Science and Talk Science are supported by BP.

The range of avenues of exploration in the area of meditation as it relates
to various aspects of science and health is nearly unlimited. Similarly, the
need for preventative practices that catalyzes improved overall health has
never been greater.
Based on an appeal by Emory undergraduate Molly Harrington (C '05), who recognized
the need for preventative ways of addressing stress and depression at Emory,
the Emory-Tibet Partnership and the Emory Mind-Body Program forged an innovative study in 2005 to examine the
impact of compassion meditation in treating depression among undergraduates.
The results of the study showed an unequivocal correlation between the practice
of compassion meditation and the prevention and reduction of depression levels
in students. The results of this study have been published in Pace Pace et al. (2008) and Pace et al. (2009)
showing that the practice of compassion meditation reduced neuroendocrine, inflammatory and behavioral responses to psychosocial stress that have been previously linked to the development of mental and physical disease.
The promising results of this project and the potential impact of these practices led to the formation of
the Emory Collaborative for Contemplative Studies, one of the university's
key strategic initiatives. It has also led to the initiation of a Meditation
Program for Preventive Health at Emory University, which offers this tested
method of compassion meditation back to the Emory community as a preventive
health service—an example of the Emory-Tibet Partnership's commitment
to linking teaching, exchange across traditions, research, and service for
the augmentation of world knowledge and overall well-being.
This NIH-funded longitudinal study, which builds off of the previous compassion research study, examines whether practicing compassion meditation will optimize physiological responses to psychosocial stress, with a focus on inflammatory signaling pathways and behavioral distress. We will also evaluate whether meditation practice affects naturalistic speech and behavior in ways that enhance emotional well being and health - not just of the meditation practitioner but of other people in his or her social environment.
In early 2009, Geshe Lobsang Negi, Charles Raison, Brooke Dodson-Lavelle, and Brendan Ozawa-de Silva piloted a compassion meditation program for youth in Atlanta's group foster care system. The program trained six girls (age 13-16) in engaged compassion as a means for developing inner resilience and building stronger, healthier relationships. The girls later shared with external reviewers how powerfully the meditation had helped them in their relationships. One girl said the training transformed her relationship with her estranged adoptive mother.
The success of this pilot has led to on-going studies investigating the effects of compassion training in this population. In 2010 the Georgia Department of Health and Human Services and the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, GA funded a randomized, wait-list control trial of CBCT for seventy-two foster children, entitled "A Study of Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT) to Enhance Health and Well-Being in Adolescents in Foster Care in Metropolitan Atlanta." The study, the results of which have not yet been published, examined the efficacy of this training for reducing emotional reactivity, psycho-social stress, and behavioral problems. Dependent upon the results of the study, the aim is to extend this service throughout the foster care system and to offer similar training programs to foster families, caseworkers, and administrators.
The methods employed and the results of these pilot programs are described in Ozawa-de Silva and Dodson-Lavelle (2011).
Additionally, full video footage of presentations on this work at the conference "Compassion Meditation: Mapping Current Research and Charting Future Directions" at Emory University in 2010 with the participation of H.H. the Dalai Lama is available at: www.emory.edu/home/academics/dalailama/visit.html
The CBCT protocol was also piloted in 2009 among elementary school children (ages 5-8) in the Atlanta area. This program followed the same conceptual sequence as the adult program, but with age-appropriate modifications. Classes met twice per week for twenty-five to thirty minutes per session during the normal school day. Classes began with a short meditation practice and a brief overview or introduction to the week's topic, followed by an activity, story, or game to facilitate learning and student engagement. Once we had found an age-appropriate way to convey the topics of the CBCT protocol through such stories and games, we were encouraged to find that even the young elementary-school children were able to grasp the essential concepts involved in the protocol. More information on the ways in which we have adapted CBCT for children is described in Ozawa-de Silva and Dodson-Lavelle (2011).
On the basis of the pilot program for young elementary school children, our team received a grant from Emory University to run a study using an eight-week long intervention in the 2011-2012 school year at the Paideia School in Atlanta, Georgia to evaluate the effects of CBCT on prosocial behavior, bullying, social exclusion, stereotypying and bias
in collaboration with Dr. Philippe Rochat and Erin Robbins, both of Emory University. We have also been invited to offer a CBCT program for students at Mornindgside Elementary School, a public school in Atlanta, GA.
In May 2010 researchers from Emory University and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) field-tested CBCT in Kosovo to investigate its potential to heal the trauma of war. Members of our broader research team at Emory University, including Dr. Nadine Kaslow and Dr. Barbara Patterson, are also investigating the efficacy of CBCT among suicide-attempters at a local hospital in Atlanta and among trauma survivors in Kosovo, and have also begun to explore its application in early-onset Alzheimer's patients.

Two fires started in two different apartment complexes Wednesday morning.
An apartment caught on fire at a complex near Camelback Road and 40th Avenue. Firefighters believe it may have been caused by electrical wiring.
No one was in the home at the time except a dog. A neighbor heard the dog barking, broke down the door and got it out of the apartment.
Firefighters said no damage was done to any surrounding apartments. However, those living on the second story are displaced until smoke clears out of their rooms.
A second fire started in the patio of an apartment at a complex near 22nd Avenue and Dunlap Road. Two people were displaced from their apartment because of water damage.
