-- Alan Mozes
MONDAY, Nov. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Could cholesterol deposits
on or around people's eyelids help doctors assess cardiovascular
A preliminary Danish study suggests that the deposits could
point to an increased risk for heart attack, arterial disease and
early death.
Half of patients with such deposits, a condition called
xanthelasmata, actually have normal cholesterol levels. The
research team therefore believes that buildup of cholesterol on the
eyelid is perhaps a marker for cardiac risk, regardless of a
patient's cholesterol profile.
"In societies where other cardiovascular disease risk factors can't be readily measured, presence of xanthelasmata may be a useful predictor of underlying atherosclerotic disease [hardening of the arteries]," the study authors said in an American Heart Association news release.
Led by Mette Christoffersen of Copenhagen University Hospital
and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, the research team was
to present the findings Sunday at the AHA's annual meeting in
In their study, the team tracked the health of nearly 13,000
patients who were examined for the presence of such eyelid
The researchers found that those with the condition had a higher
rate of heart disease and heart attack as they got older, and a
poorer survival rate as compared with those who did not have the
Specifically, xanthelasmata was linked to a 51 percent bump in
the risk for a heart attack and a 40 percent rise in the risk for
ischemic heart disease. The risk for death rose by 17 percent among
such patients.
Experts point out that research presented at meetings typically
does not go through the tougher scrutiny of studies published in
respected journals.

AFT On Campus
May/June 2012
Feature Story
Occupy Sallie Mae!
They came for conversation; instead, they got arrested!
Hundreds of fired-up and fed-up undergraduates from all over the nation marched up a major Washington, D.C., thoroughfare on March 26, carrying a message: "Sallie Mae, You can't hide. We can see your greedy side."
They filled the street outside the D.C. offices of Sallie Mae, and 36 were arrested after occupying the front entrance to the building. They were asking for a meeting to discuss student debt forgiveness.
With student loan debt passing the $1 trillion mark in April, education debt is the next bubble, say the students. A major part of the problem is banks like Sallie Mae—the largest private lender, which made $2.7 billion in loans last year and has invested millions lobbying to secure loan terms that favor the private banks and ensure large profits at the expense of students and families.

Social systems are quickly becoming part of the real world and a reflection of it, a means by which we can communicate with each other more efficiently. These days, it seems like everyone and their mother is working on their "social media strategy" for their brands or designing products that are social in nature, but few really understand what it all means, how it works and why it's important.
With people at the center of the web, we have the ability to transcend our limited physical reality and create something that can evolve us faster than ever before. But in this brave new world, we need to take into account existing social truths and think carefully about the identities and respective communities we can deeply affect. This class explores the fundamental psychological underpinnings of social design - in the greater spectrum of humanity and evolution - that help explain why the social systems of the past fall short and why the new trends of today are bringing us closer to our self-actualization.
I'm a storyteller and product architect by trade and by personality. From drawing cartoons, writing stories and constructing miniature towns as a child, I've since taken to Internet, having both built a number of social websites singlehandedly and worked for the biggest companies in Silicon Valley.
I was most recently the Social Design evangelist at Facebook where I designed various aspects of the site and, most notably, authored and promoted the Social Design Guidelines to developers, designers and brand advocates both in Europe and the US. Earlier, I worked on the technology evangelism team at Apple where I helped define design guidelines for developing mobile applications. I've also worked at Google and independently designed and consulted for numerous smaller companies including Airbnb, Milo.com and Eventbrite.
Currently I'm working on a new venture of mine in which I am building better conversation channels for communities.

Communication Culture: Resolving Conflict and Leveraging Feedback
Barrie Byron and Ann Grove
Resolving conflict and responding to feedback are core professional survival skills. In our current economy, our ability to master soft skills such as conflict resolution can be more important than mastery of technical communication and project management. Yet, those of us in heads-down writing and technical positions are not necessarily well-equipped to successfully deal with conflict.
In their second year of co-presenting, Barrie Byron and Ann Grove will shed light on topics such as how to:
- Leverage your listening and analysis skills to assess your options
- Deal with conflict when you feel powerless
- Become more comfortable with conflict
- Use feedback from your coworkers to improve your performance, and the quality of your work
You will be empowered once you understand the dynamics of this common experience.

XIXVIIXIXXCIV♥ on We Heart It. http://weheartit.com/entry/26451894
I'ts been a LONG ass time. Probably will go back to blogging about random shit like I used to, throw in some more alternative fashion blogging, some gaming factoids, tattoo tidbits.
Back to playing World of Warcraft quite a bit as well as some other random XBOX games, a lot has happened in my time away. My trip to Vegas was pretty amazing got to visit some amazing shops and see some amazing people. Became pregnant around November the 12th and gave birth to the must handsome little man in the world on July 9th.
Jacob Aidan
Like I said got back into WoW raiding on a regular basis in between mommy time.
Although my priest is my main; my most beloved alt (my rogue) is on her way to getting her legendary daggers. After missing weeks and weeks of gems she is finally coming toward the end of her final quest 1/2 way through the stage 2 quest. 30/60 gem clusters.
sneaking around for the stage 1 daggers
So believe it ot not I managed to get bored out here in vegas so with my free time I decided to get my tan on. However, ironic to my name, its rained a ton and the sun has been hiding so rather than sit outside in the shade I decided to make a trip to CVS in order to look at something I've been dying to try for a while now: Jergen's Natural Glow. Day 1 I didn't notice too much of a difference, but then again magic takes time, so I applied nightly for 3 nights only to see my pale north dakota skin turn to a gorgeous barely bronze. Believe it ot not the shit actually works, at least for me it did. I'd say its worth a try if you're interested in keeping a tan over winter or if you're short on time and can't make it to the salon or outside. I saw a couple different kinds at the store; revitalizing and firming for the regular size lotion and I know a moisturizer and facial version exist. I just use the regular version for my face anyway just be cautious. Not to get it in your eye. Other than that just make sure you wash your hands after every application!! My hands turned an orangey brown and believe me its not worth it because it doesn't wash off easy! Anyway its worth a try. Always, Lucky
Its been a while, but as I was walking through the forum shops at Ceasers Palace in Vegas I couldn't help but realize how much I miss blogging. In fact, I may start making videos again on youtube as per request from an old fan who was interested in a guided how-to videos. As for what's been going on in my life, I now work for limited brands at a victorias secret back where I live. Here in Vegas the VS store is so much bigger than mine in ND! Of course I had to take pictures and look around. Anyhow I will get back to my plans later on. I'm due to go see cris angel later tonight at the luxor. Always Lucky
OHIO in the morning; next stop, home to ND.
See you soon dear, you know I've missed you. <3

This conversation is closed.
Is intelligent design science and should it be taught in public schools?
Most definitions of modern science describe a methodology of finding testable explanations of the universe or similar.
I often hear evolution is a theory not a fact. A scientific theory explains the facts and is verifiable or demonstrable. Evolution is one of the most validated theories around.
I propose ID is not science. It is not verifiable and its challenges to evolution. For example the arguments about irreducible complexity have been debunked e.g. a subset of components of the bacterial flagellum are used by some bacteria inject harmful proteins into other cells. There are so many transitional forms scientists argue whether some of them are birds, reptiles or mammals.
To allow ID into science you would need to change the definition of science and drop the testable requirement. This would enable astrology, alchemy and crystal healing alongside astronomy, chemistry and physics.
I also hear the argument why not include all sides of the debate. Scientifically there is no debate. Philosophically, this is akin to suggesting alchemy be taught alongside chemistry, or Greek mythology as history.
I propose it should not. This does not stop parents teaching their kids any religious dogma they choose within the law. But it is not science and religious beliefs have no place being taught in public schools.
Closing Statement from Obey No1kinobe
ID is a form of creationism promoted by the Discovery Institute and supported by many evangelical Christians. The Institute defines it as "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
Evolutionary theory is the foundation of modern biology. Whether you want to believe it or not explains the development different species and genetic similarities between species. Essentially gene frequency changes due to natural selection, from less adapted to more adapted. At some stage the divergence of one group may get to the point where they can not interbreed successfully with other related groups or their ancestors ie they become a new species. This is a gradual process, supported by much evidence in the fossil record, DNA and gene analysis.
The key argument for ID is irreducible complexity which proposes the bacterial flagellum, immune system, blood clotting could not have evolved or developed from something similar. They need all the parts to do anything. In all cases it has been proven that these are reducable. They could have evolved.
ID is basically, life is complex, hard to explain, so it must be designed. Read the comments and Í hope you see there is a sound argument that ID has tried to bypass scientific consensus. It is a discredited hypothesis except for those who want to believe. Also, you start to get into mythology when you try and describe and explain the creator for which there is nop verifiable evidence.
While there is no scientific evidence for design, we can not scientifically say the universe isn't. That is a philosophical question. If you value the truth then science can inform faith. We can respect religion except where it is wrong. The universe is not 6,000 years old. Life evolved. We should not make special exceptions to promote falsehoods in schools. Our children deserve better. If our growing understanding makes some beliefs obsolete, so be it

Aug 18 2012: Most certainly,
Like every literature has a term, an appointed time, relative to social intercourse. I think we write our own codes as we go along, and we should hope our unborn generations don't add dogmas and worship to our failures. However I wouldn't be surprised - lol
I often cannot fathom why our societies put so much effort and TRUST into long gone people yet deny those valid enough here and now. It is this conduct that's limiting our societies.
Enjoy the day
Aug 18 2012: The awakening has begun. More religious beliefs are evolving into spiritual principles. I can't help myself with the puns, sorry.
I am living proof that a brainwashed sheep can fight the system and the machine and tear down the programming built up against him. It is an endless task. It will last me to the end of my days. But I do attribute my kindness to the teachings of Jesus. I always felt good about him and his deeds. Did read a book called "The Shack" that almost sent me running for church. Excellent book. But that's all these are, are books. Books that men made, and therefore in the context of un-provable subject matter, should be read as fiction and enjoyed and allowed to inspire people.
Aug 18 2012: Hi Jeremy
I'm sure it must be an intrinsic battle to make that shift. As for the wisdom of Jesus, I believe he should be, in character, an exemplar to his following. He stood up for human rights and that's all I need as truth from any man who risks his life for society. However it's sad that over the millennia his cause was distorted into what it is today. The same with sages like Martin Luther, Ghandi and the like, they supposed a system of government and tried their utmost to uplift society.
Books are boons for us to reflect upon and hopefully not repeat the failures of past societies, and if we turn them into 'holy' then we fail to reflect.
Here's a saying I live by - the pain we carry as a society, is the love we withhold from each other.
Great ruins lie on this planet as evidence of this withholding love from each other. That is the essence I get from our history. I leave out the fancy trimmings.
Peace in wisdom will get us there

September 2011 COTM, Slater/Kitchen Diaries: Summer

Grilled monkfish (cod) with rosemary, served with garlic mayo (p. 249)
First of all, big thanks to all who helped me get this recipe. Dinner tonight was outstanding. It was my husband's night to cook, and I figured I could get us started on Slater month *and* make his life easier and still have a delicious dinner on a very busy day for him. And really, this couldn't have been simpler, even though I cheated on the garlic mayo (I just took a bunch of mayo, added some chopped garlic and salt - voila! delicious. Judge away.). So, for the fish: chop the leaves of 3 "bushy sprigs" of rosemary, make a pulp of 4 anchovy fillets , chop 2 small or 4 large cloves of garlic and mix with the juice of a large lemon and some olive oil. Add S&P. Put the fish pieces in the marinade and flop around until they have a bit of marinade on them. Cover the bowl and leave in the fridge for at least an hour, no more than 3. Grill. We absolutely LOVED this. Husband was glad I sort of pushed the issue (phew!). Grilling added a lot to the already wonderful mix of rosemary, garlic and anchovy. And cod was a perfectly fine sub.
re: LulusMom
I've had my eye on this since LLM first posted about it. Thought it would work with some mahi-mahi that was in the freezer. Tried it last night. Marinated the fish for the minimum one hour. Seemed to be enough. Cooked it on a cast iron grill pan for the given amount of time for an outdoor grill and the timing was right. Too lazy to bother with even LLM's shortcut for the garlic mayo and it didn't seem necessary since I was just serving the fish with a salad. Pretty good, but think the grill adds the element that puts it over the top—as LLM indicated in her review. Probably not the best recipe choice for those of us without the outdoor option.
6.3 A Chicken Roasted With New Garlic and A Fresh Pea Pilaf To Go With It, Pg. 182, USA Ed.
This recipe is all about new garlic and fresh peas. I had the new garlic but used frozen peas and still the finished dish had sweet bright flavors and wonderfully seasoned juicy chicken. The garlic is used to make a pan sauce with dry vermouth. All together a perfect combination, just as apt for September as for June.
Pre-heat oven to 400F and season a large chicken with olive oil and salt and pepper. Place chicken breast side down into a pan that just fits the chicken. Our chicken was 4 pounds and I used a v-rack. Roast for "just over an hour." That was 70 minutes for us. While the chicken is roasting take 2 whole heads of garlic, break apart and remove all cloves but don't peel them. Put them into a small pan of boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the garlic and add to roasting pan when the chicken has finished the first roasting. Turn chicken breast side up (known forever in our house as flipping the bird) and continue cooking till golden. (about 25 minutes)
During the second roasting phase make the pilaf. Cook about a cup of peas and drain. Since I used frozen peas I just let them thaw on the counter. Lightly sauté a chopped small onion (new season onion) in olive oil. Add a cinnamon stick and a few whole cloves to pan when onion colors a bit. Recipe says to add the same amount quantity rice and liquid to pan but we relied on our ratio of 1 cup rice to 2 cups home made chicken stock. Season with salt, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in the peas. Cover and wait for chicken to finish.
Remove chicken from roasting pan, squish garlic from skins and crush into pan juices. Pour dry vermouth into pan and over heat scrape up fond making a pan sauce to both spoon over chicken and pilaf. .
We loved this dish for so many reasons. Everything complimented each other beautifully. Because my onion was a purple variety it looked appealing with the green peas and white jasmine rice. I served a side salad of roasted cocozelle rounds and sliced tomatoes.
Grilled Zucchini with Basil and Lemon
Page 257 in Kitchen Diaries (or page 591 in Tender)
Pretty much the same recipe in both books, in Tender the recipe calls for salting and resting the zukes, in KD they are just sliced and placed on the grill. Other than that, I think the directions proceed identically. Zucchini is grilled, then tossed in the zest and juice of a lemon, some olive oil and a "small bunch" of basil.
Mr. NS the Griller was (understandably after a rough day) not up to individually watching and flipping a couple dozen thin slices of squash on the grill, so we popped them into a grill basket. We've had plenty of successes with grilling in the basket prior to tonight, but on this occasion the zucchini seemed more like they were steamed than grilled. We missed the char, but otherwise the dish was very nice. The lemon-zucchini-basil combination was bright and summery.
If you have the time and patience to tend multiple thin slices of squash on the grill, I think the char would really add something to the dish, but even without, not bad at all.
Zucchini cakes with feta and dill, p. 226 US Ed.
Fritters, essentially. And very good ones, sweet from zucchini and onion, savory from feta, and fresh from the dill. He says to serve them with chutney, but I had them on their own, alongside tomatoes with za'atar pesto from Radically Simple, and didn't think they needed a condiment.
Grated zucchini is lightly salted and left to sit. Onion is sauteed in olive oil, then the blotted zucchini and garlic go in, and finally, flour is added and stirred to cook. At this point, I removed it to a bowl and wiped out the pan for cooking the cakes. Feta, dill, egg, and pepper are added (because of the feta and salted zucchini, I didn't add more salt), and spoonsful are cooked in more olive oil. He says this makes around 6, but looking at the quantities listed, I knew it would make more, and I actually got around 12 little patties. They are delicate/fragile and need to be turned carefully.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Thanks for bringing this recipe to my attention. There are so many recipes in these books, I can't keep up. These sound very good. I made some Batali zucchini fritters with ricotta recently, that I liked a lot. But I'm eager to try this version with the feta.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Caitlin: Great minds, etc...however, the Zucchini Cakes I made didn't turn out as well as yours did. I salted the zukes, left them to rest for about a half hour., then I squeezed them quite vigorously. I followed the rest of the recipe - egg, garlic, plain flour, sauteed onions...yet when I dropped them onto the olive oil heated pan they browned nicely but were EXTREMELY difficult to turn over. She says they will be fragile, but this was really difficult.
My husband and I both loved them, but I won't be making them regularly due to the difficulty I had cooking and turning them.
I also didn't serve them with chutney, which I'm sure would have been nice...instead I made a sauce out of some low-fat yoghurt with some chopped parsley and pressed garlic. Very, very nice...except for the tedium of turning the patties. Served them with chicken soup made from last night's Slater-roasted chicken and some dried porcini (soaked). A very nice combo.
I wonder how it'd go if I added more garlic and/or cooked the zukes longer to evaporate their liquid before making the patties.... This tasted good enough to fool around with.
re: oakjoan
Joan, mine definitely were not the cohesive little patties shown in the photo in the book. They did not want to stay together so much, and were definitely v. loosely knit.
P.S. Oakland has one copy of The Splendid Table, so you ought to snap it up! Berkeley doesn't have it, so you are lucky I decided to sit the month out so we're not competing again.
Strawberry Mascarpone Tart - p. 205 (UK ed)
Let me just give a link to this recipe:
One of the reviews is mine, and it should be easy enough to figure out which one. Let me just add that I am obviously not making this in September for COTM. In my neck of the woods, this is a May recipe. But I wanted to get it on the thread, just to spread the good news. It is an absolutely wonderful recipe to make at whatever that magical time of year is that you have fresh, perfectly ripe stawberries in your part of the world.
6.5 Chicken and Rice Salad, Pg. 185, USA Ed.
This is a follow-up recipe to the Roast Chicken with Fresh Pea Pilaf, and since we had more than half a left-over chicken from that recipe this salad was an obvious choice. For some reason Mr. Slater doesn't think many people will have left-over rice so the first thing on the agenda is to make a pot of rice. We had more than enough rice and peas pilaf for the salad so didn't make a fresh pot. Plus the pilaf was nicely flavored with cinnamon and cloves so added another dimension to the salad. I used vegetables I had on hand instead of bean sprouts and lentils as specified in the recipe.
So, first prep the vegetables: for us it was 1 diced carrot, 2 chopped scallions, 5 sliced radishes, and a small handful combined of chopped parsley and celeriac leaves. Also, I had a handful of fresh ground- cherries so threw those in as well. I put all into a large serving bowl as I prepped each one then added thickly sliced chicken cut into chunks and the pilaf. Gently toss all this together and make the dressing.
Deseed and thinly slice 2 hot red chilies (jalapeño), chop mint (omitted), measure out 2 heaping Tablespoons Nam Pla (Golden Boy brand), 2 heaping T lime juice, 3 heaping T olive oil with some walnut oil. Whisk dressing and pour over salad. Toss and serve.
Needless to say with all the ingredients it was a very filling and tasty salad. We both like it but each had one small quibble. G would have liked what he called a "regular" vinaigrette...thought the lime juice was too strong, while I thought the fish sauce overpowered everything. Finally though, it was a satisfying end to Sunday's really nice roast chicken dinner.
Seared Beef with Mint and Mustard Dressing, page 269.
Well, one of these days I'll report on a recipe I've done exactly as written, but it won't be today.
This recipe calls for a beef fillet to serve four people. I had a small sirloin tip steak (about 8oz), and used this preparation method to serve two people. The meat is coated with olive oil, then a blend of sea salt and coarsely ground pepper. We cooked the steak on the grill, although for the fillet the directions call for browning then roasting in the oven.
The steak is accompanied by a sauce made by pureeing grainy mustard, lemon juice, mint, olive oil, and egg yolks. I had discovered I had no lemons, so I substituted lemon agrumato for the olive oil. I did not end up with the creamy mayonnaise texture visible in Slater's photo, perhaps because I accidentally glugged the agrumato into the mix, instead of adding as a stream. But it still tasted great.. This is a fantastic, simple way to serve beef, and it doesn't have to be reserved for a large fillet. The mint, mustard, and lemon really works with the peppery beef. It was great with the New Season Potatoes from Tender, which also have a bit of mustard.
Mr. Nightshade declared that Nigel knows what he's doing.
re: L.Nightshade
Oh man. I'm not a big meat eater, and that looks fantastic to me. High praise.
re: LulusMom
How kind of you, LL's Mom, thanks!
We loved this dish, I'll happily make it again.
Orecchiette with Roast Tomato and Basil Sauce (p. 195 US ed)
Very simple supper. Toss a few pounds of small tomatoes (I used Sungolds and red cherry toms from my garden) with a few cloves of garlic and some olive oil and broil them until them blacken while the pasta water comes to a boil and the orecchiette cooks. I gave my pan a good shake a few times to make sure they browned evenly. Once the toms are nice and broiled, crush them with a fork in the pan and toss in lots of basil (Nigel calls for exactly 30 leaves; I used more and mine were a variety from my garden that grows as big as my hand, so I tore them up a bit) and a glug of heavy cream. Toss with the pasta, season, and serve with some grated cheese.
This was pretty good, though not mind-blowing. Nigel calls for a full pound of pasta, but I thought there was too much pasta for the amount of sauce. The 3 lbs of tomatoes really cook down; I would have used only half a box of pasta. I also ended up throwing in a few dashes of both balsamic vinegar and Worchestershire just to deepen the flavor of the sauce a bit. And even more basil! After those adjustments - and lots of parm on top - this was still a very easy and quick dinner that tasted good in the end, so I would make this again.
re: GardenFresh
So nice to read your three recent reports, GardenFresh. This month I made a few of Nigel's pasta recipes and now come to the conclusion that he's an "all or nothing at all" kind of fella. One recipe called for 1/4 pound of macaroni for 4 people...while others called for a whole pound for two. In general, though, I'd say that he expects his recipes to be tinkered with since they're practically made up on the spot in his "small kitchen." (I've seen video clips of him cooking in his "small kitchen" and it'd not all That small)
re: GardenFresh
So coincidentally, I just came across a post from The Kitchn's archives in which a commenter says that the kitchen Nigel uses on the Simple Suppers series is just a set and not his home kitchen, so I guess his own kitchen might indeed be pretty small.
re: GardenFresh
Following a recent holiday in Italy, I've come to the conclusion that in general I use far too much sauce on my pasta. In Italy, the pasta is in general fairly lightly sauced and it's always perfect.
6.14 A Radish, Mint, and Feta Salad,
This salad had all the ingredients that were on hand and sounded just the thing to augment a Sunday dinner of grilled (in the Weber) small turkey and garlic potatoes. No mint though, so I subbed cilantro. Delicious and refreshing... I halved the recipe.
You will need: a large cucumber, radishes, scallions, feta, mint, parsley, EVOO.
Nigel has you peel the cucumber "lightly", leaving "as much of the bright green that lies just under the
skin as possible." He says, "Otherwise the salad will appear insipid.". And, I'll be darned, the cucumber Did have a bright green layer, and it Did liven things up. The cucumber is then quartered, de-seeded, and cut in chunks. Prep the other vegetables, chop them up, adding to a salad bowl as you go. Crumble the feta, and add to the bowl. Drizzle some olive oil and red wine vinegar over, plus grindings of black pepper (no salt), toss, and Bob's your uncle.
Very nice, crunchy, sprightly, it would make a good one dish lunch or supper.

International Blues Part II
A run-down of our players' second dose of World Cup qualifiers.
Bryan Oviedo
Leon Osman
Kevin Mirallas
Nikica Jelavic
Phil Jagielka
Marouane Fellaini
Seamus Coleman
Leighton Baines
The majority of Everton's World Cup hopefuls find their aspirations of competing in next year's tournament enhanced after enjoying positive results with their respective nations over the weekend.
Looking ahead, eight members of David Moyes' first-team squad are in contention to feature in the international break's second round of qualifiers, which take place at various times throughout Tuesday evening and the early hours of Wednesday.
Leighton Baines could continue at left-back for England who are involved in a crucial game away to Montenegro. The Three Lions were comfortable 8-0 winners in San Marino on Friday but face arguably their toughest test so far against the current Group H pace-setters.
A victory would see Roy Hodgson's side leapfrog Montenegro but defeat would put them five points adrift with four matches left to play.
Leon Osman will also be looking to play some part in the match in Podgorica after making his competitive England debut three days ago.
Aside from England's chances, Evertonians will also be interested to see how Group A is unraveling, where Belgium and Croatia are currently neck-and-neck in the race for automatic qualification to next summer's tournament.
Marouane Fellaini played the full 90 minutes and Mirallas was an unused substitute in Belgium's 2-0 away win over Macedonia on Friday and both will be hoping for a repeat result in the reverse fixture in Brussels on Tuesday evening.
With a Belgium victory expected, Croatia need to ensure they don't drop points against a resurgent Wales whose hopes have been reignited following the 2-1 win over Scotland. Nikica Jelavic will be pressing for a recall after watching on from the bench in the 2-0 win over Serbia.
Steven Naismith will also be craving some action for Scotland against Serbia after not featuring in the aforementioned loss to Wales - a result which virtually extinguished any chances of Gordon Strachan's men progressing through to the finals.
In Group C, Seamus Coleman is likely to keep his place for the Republic of Ireland who will be targeting maximum points against Austria after the creditable stalemate away to Sweden.
Three points would elevate Giovanni Trapattoni's side into the play-off spot with second-placed Sweden not in action. However, Austria travel to Dublin in good spirits following a 6-0 hammering of the Faroe Islands on Friday.
Outside of Europe, Bryan Oviedo's Costa Rica need to give their qualifying campaign a kick-start after slipping to a 1-0 defeat against USA on Saturday.
The CONCACAF format sees the top three from the six-nation group qualify automatically, with fourth competing in a home and away play-off against the winner of the Oceania group to determine who reaches Brazil.
Costa Rica are currently bottom after collecting just one point from their first two games - but they will fancy their chances of getting back on track against Jamaica who have registered two draws to date.
Oviedo could line-up against former Blue Jermaine Beckford, who is expected to spearhead the Reggae Boyz's attack in San Jose.
Tim Howard - currently sidelined with a back problem - will be keeping a watchful eye on USA's game against Mexico. Victory at the Azteca would send Jurgen Klinsmann's team top of the CONCACAF group, should Honduras fail to beat Panama.

Article by Myra Saturen; photos by Patricia Canavan
December 12, 2013
Love for Nelson Mandela, grief over his recent death, and the inspiration of his legacy were expressed at a memorial service for the anti-apartheid leader and South Africa's first black president held by students at Northampton Community College on December 12.
After an opening prayer, a welcome by Residence Hall Director Richard Alleyne and recordings of the South African and United States national anthems, Dean of Business and Technology Denise Francois-Seeny spoke about Madiba, which was Mandela's clan name. Calling him a citizen leader, she summoned to memory Mandela's 27 years of imprisonment. "His body was imprisoned, but his mind never could be," she said. Even after his release and election as president, Mandela negotiated with the people who had kept him in prison, she said. "Kindness was tempered with true steel in his spine."
Francois-Seeny recalled hearing Mandela speak in 2005 at Riverside Church in New York City, where he referenced the Book of Isaiah, "we have risen up on the wings of an eagle." Like an eagle, Francois-Seeny said, Mandela soared to great heights, flew above the storm, glided amid chaos, ascended, balanced himself, and guided others. "He epitomizes strength and power," she said.
NCC student Nordia Campbell read a poem by Maya Angelou memorializing Mandela.
Dr. Jeffrey Focht, addressing his comments mostly to the South African students in the audience, remembered visiting South Africa in 2009 as part of a study of education. He described a profound moment at Robben Island, where he saw Mandela's prison cell, a tiny, confining space with a small bed and desk. "I could see how he could have held resentment, pain, anguish, and a lack of forgiveness," Focht said. "Instead he took pain and turned it into something so powerful that we are recognizing him for his contributions to humanity." Focht contrasted Mandela's hometown, "the poorest place I have ever visited," with the luxurious hotel that hosted Focht and his colleagues. He comforted bereaved South African students by emphasizing that "Nelson Mandela was trying to tell people that what you do and how you influence change in your sphere of influence is important. By carrying on his legacy, we can make change. When your walk seems too difficult, think of Nelson Mandela and his prison cell."
Following a tribute video about Mandela, South African NCC student Katlane Seema explained that he meant more than history to her and her family. Her uncle had gone to prison in the struggle against apartheid, and she recalled her grandmother describing her anguish during this time. She said that even after apartheid ended, struggles remained. Education, she decided, was the way to spread her wings.
She lauded Mandela for his commitment to reconciliation. "He taught people how to love, forgive and work with the enemy. He taught that no human being is above another." She pointed out Mandela's courage and selflessness in enduring prison without knowing what the future would be.
"One is created, one is born, one lives and one dies, but we have a slight chance of leaving a legacy," she said. "What are you going to do that Mandela taught you?" she asked.
"Mandala taught that all people are connected," Seema said. "We need each other." She thanked the Northampton Community College community for being there for her as she mourns Mandela's death.
Students also created a slide show presentation displayed in the Student Life Zone, and NCC librarians have created a book display and a time line of Mandela's life in the Paul and Harriett Mack Library. Seema also spoke about Mandela in this moving YouTube video.

Tuesday's Post-Earning Movers: Are These Worth Buying?
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Earnings and earning-related news is the number one catalyst for stock movement. A strong quarter can dictate the direction of a stock for the following three months as can a bad quarter; in the past I have written in detail about such subjects, a domino effect following a strong or bad quarter. In this piece I am looking at the early performance of Tuesday's top movers following earnings. Then I am trying to determine whether or not the moves are warranted and if future gains are present.
Restaurant Stock on the Rise
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (NASDAQ: CBRL) shot higher on Tuesday after the restaurant posted earnings that far exceeded expectations. The company posted an EPS of $1.43, which was $0.18 better than the consensus, and also posted revenue growth of 4.40%. More importantly, the company saw a 3.3% rise in same store sales and 3.3% higher traffic to complement a 2.6% boost to average ticket price.
Cracker Barrel is one of the more under-the-radar restaurant stocks in the market, yet pays a dividend of 2.75% and has increased its dividend by almost 200% over the last five years, while returning gains of 123% during the same period. Therefore, this has been a solid stock, and yet it's still cheap. The company has great margins, great returns on equity, and a forward P/E ratio of just 13.37 to go along with a price/sales of 0.61. As a result, I'd buy this stock!
Stock Trades Lower After Huge Miss
Titan International (NYSE: TWI) traded lower by 15.18% on Tuesday, but investors should feel lucky -- it could have been worse. The company was expected to post earnings of $0.47 yet posted a loss of $0.07. This loss was attributed to a large tax provision, slowdown in Europe, and extra costs associated an earthquake in Italy. In addition to the large bottom line miss, the company also missed on the top line, by $66.48 million with its revenue of $493.6 million.
When you look at Titan International's stock, it looks undervalued. The company pays a solid tax rate, has good returns from its investments, and trades with a P/E ratio of just 7.87. However, the company's cash flow is bothersome, and the problems noted in its earnings call seem as though they could become lingering. As a result, I wouldn't feel too comfortable with an investment in this company, not just yet.
Solar gets off to a Bad Start
Solar is a very fragile space, and over the last few months it has seen large gains thanks to a number of economic catalysts. However, on Tuesday shares of Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL) traded lower by almost 5% following a mixed earnings report. The company missed on the bottom line by a wide margin yet beat by a wide margin on the top line.
When it comes to earnings, the top and bottom line is what typically creates a market response. However, it's the numbers and details within the report that are most important. Trina beat Q4 module shipments, saw better gross margins over the previous quarter, had a 19% decline in Opex, and raised its module shipments guidance for both Q1 and for 2013. Now, I am not saying that Trina is a "Buy," but it might be worth watching, and could make a good speculative investment in your portfolio.
Online Growth Boosts this Undervalued Retailer
While The Home Depot stole the show with its big quarterly results, Macy's (NYSE: M) was putting together a strong quarter of its own, and then traded higher by 2.78%. The company beat on both the top and bottom line and saw comparable store sales grow 3.9%. The company did see its gross margins slip, however it was due to the closing of stores.
Perhaps the biggest win for the company was its online sales, which grew 47.7% in the quarter. Macy's continues to be one of the better retail stores, and has significantly underperformed its growth over the last two years. Therefore, with a price/sales of 0.56 and a forward P/E ratio of 10.39 I'd say buy and hold this stock.
In my book, "Taking Charge With Value Investing" (McGraw-Hill), I examine human behavior and the psychological effects that take place in the minds of investors when a stock shoots higher or falls drastically lower (think roulette at a casino), with one scenario being earnings. For many investors, chasing these trends is common, even addicting, and very few are capable of realizing their losses because of their occasional gain.
Investors need to avoid this behavior after earnings, and look not at the performance of the stock but rather the significance of the news. By doing so, you will be able to find the inconsistencies and a distinction between performance and fundamentals, which creates value and allows for large returns.

Bond trap in the wake of a US credit downgrade
Fixed income investors may feel safe, but such funds are anything but.
In the early part of December, a good friend of mine came to me and said he followed my advice. He said that he saw risks in the economy. He recognized that the market was near the 2000 and 2007 peaks. He also noticed that substantial declines happened after each one of those peaks, so he moved his 401(k) out of equity funds.
Just a week earlier I told him to move to cash, but when he called his 401(k) company, they told him that the safest investment he could make was in a conservative bond fund. They showed him the returns, the dividend and the chart. He liked what he saw and thought it was conservative and safe, so he invested his money into the PIMCO Total Return ETF (BOND), which is a bond fund. The subsequent price movements were eye-opening.
When I heard what he did I said, "I never told you to invest in a bond fund." Unfortunately, as is the case with most 401(k) plans, the people who run his 401(k) want to keep him invested in some sort of mutual fund, whether it is a bond fund or an equity fund, so they steered him away from the money market account. I have even heard cases where 401(k) plans do not offer cash accounts at all; the only reason I can imagine is that they don't earn fees if your money is in cash. This goes for traditional money managers as well, investment advisors and stockbrokers of course, because in order for them to make money you need to invest in something. These entities have a tendency to tell you to invest more all the time, no matter what, because the more you invest the more they make. It makes good business sense for them, but staying invested at all times may not make good business sense for you.
In this particular case, my friend, who was convinced a bond fund would not lose value, found that his PIMCO bond fund didn't appreciate. "They invest in bonds and bonds are conservative," he told me. My response was a detailed explanation of how bonds and bond funds differ. Investors who invest in individual bonds are guaranteed to get their principal back if they invest in insured bonds or U.S. Treasury bonds, but those who invest in bond funds are not guaranteed their principal at all -- even if these funds invest in insured bonds themselves.
Unfortunately, my friend did not heed my words and almost like clockwork U.S. Treasury bonds started to decline in value. Interest rates have recently began to spike and although we can expect interest rates to fluctuate, the inverse relationship between bond prices and interest rates has caused his otherwise safe bond fund to decline by about 1.5%. This may not seem like a significant amount to an equity investor but when you invest in bonds for the purpose of securing your capital, such a decline is alarming. Unwitting investors might not understand why a "safe" instrument could lose value -- it is directly related to the inverse relationship between price and interest rates, but something else happens when declines like this occur.
When investors select what seems to be safe instruments and those instruments decline slightly in value, those investors often decide to just wait it out. This creates a trap, and in this particular instance I call it a bond trap, where individual investors refuse to liquidate their bond funds because they believe for some obtuse reason that their bond funds will return their principal. There is no insurance on bond funds and bond funds are not guaranteed to return principal.
When investors fall into this trap their monies become tied up in instruments that might actually begin to decline in value. Imagine what would happen if U.S. Treasury bonds came out the favor and interest rates spiked even more than they have already. Over the past year, the PIMCO Total Return ETF has increased as much as 10% (it is less than that now), but that was largely due to the decline in interest rates. If interest rates change direction and over the course of the next year increase as much as they declined in 2012 this otherwise conservative bond fund, and others like it, could lose 10%, the opposite of what happened in 2012.
Investors in U.S. Treasury bonds have a degree of security, but even that may come into question soon. If the federal government does not reach an agreement on the fiscal cliff, Fitch will almost surely cut -- almost immediately -- the U.S. credit rating below AAA, and although Moody's will not likely do it immediately, it will also have its finger on the trigger. If the U.S. loses its AAA rating from all agencies it will change the level of interest rates in the bond market and throughout the economy.
After careful review, no immediate trading signals exist yet according to our real-time reports for either the long-term U.S. Treasury ETF, iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treas Bond (TLT), or its inverse, the short ETF, ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (TBT). But trading signals may soon come. These may or may not translate into longer term investment opportunities in the bond market either. There is as much of a difference between trading the bond market versus investing in it -- as there is investing in cash versus a bond fund.
For investors interested in safety, there is no better place than in cash. Bonds are not the place to be. If you want to own them, own individual bonds, not bond funds. But I believe that given the low level of interest rates today that bond funds are just as risky, if not more risky because of their perceived safety, than equity-based investments in mutual funds.
For astute investors, I continue to recommend proactive trading strategies that can make money if the market increases or if it declines. These are available to people who have money outside of 401(k) plans, but unfortunately the restrictions in many 401(k) plans only allow investment in mutual funds that exist within fund families, and those large mutual funds are not nimble enough to use proactive strategies like we are. There is a competitive advantage for smaller investors, but that starts with not making simple mistakes. If you want safety, bond funds are not an option.

What is Developmental Biological Psychology?
Developmental biological psychology concerns changes that take place over an individual's lifetime, but not all changes are developmental or of topical concern to psychology. Developmental changes are irreversible, require the active engagement of the individual in its own developmental organization, involve growth, and are emergent from conditions affecting earlier stages (e.g., genetics, environmental factors, previous stages of development). Topical phenomena for developmental biological psychology include behavior, motivation, emotion, cognition, and learning. But, merely listing the characteristics of development and topics in biological psychology is not a definition of developmental biological psychology. To achieve a deeper understanding we will begin by examining the complex concept of levels of organization and causation, issues in nature vs. nurture, and the synthetic perspective of epigenesis (i.e. a process of emergent development in which a developmental stage emerges from the conditions present in the previous stage including prior development up to that point, environmental factors, gene regulation and expression). An epigenetic perspective requires understanding complex issues of causation at multiple levels of organization and integrating information from multiple scientific disciplines including psychology, evolution, development, genetics.
Course Requirements
Attendance and Extra Credit
Notes for the course are provided on the class web site (usually, they are posted by Monday and Wednesday before the lecture). The notes cover the lectures in detail, but it is only in the context of lecture and discussion that a good understanding of this material can be achieved. I have found in the past that providing detailed notes helps people to do well in this course provided that they also attend the lectures. Typically, a person who attends all the lectures ends up with an A or B for the course, but those who do not usually end up with a B- or lower. I just hate to give out bad grades, but unfortunately people often will not attend without incentive. Providing detailed notes leads some students to skip class and they end up not doing so well. Thus, 5% of your grade will depend on your attendance. Here is how it works:
Lectures Missed Points Received
Days Missed Points Received 0-2 5 3 4 4 3 5 2 6 1 7 or more 0
These points are added to your percentage grade for the course (see Grading below). That is, everything else you do in the class will be 95% of your grade. If, for example, you did not attend any lectures but received 100% on all the work for the course, you would have a percentage grade of 95% (A) for the course. With 100% attendance, you would receive a percentage grade of 100% (A+). Or, suppose you received 87% (B) on all your work but did not attend lecture, you would receive a percentage grade of 82.65 (B), but with 100% attendance, you would receive 87.65% (B+).
Sometimes, when attendance is low, I have double attendance days. These double attendance days can make up for missed days, so if you miss 4 days but happen to attend on two double attendance days, you will receive the full 5 points. For those of you who never miss a day of class (excluding the first day of class), you can receive up to 2 extra points. For example, suppose you received 87% (B) on your course and lab work. If you have perfect attendance, your grade would be 87.65% (B+). If there were one or more double attendance days during the quarter, you would get up to two more points added. For example, if there were two or more double attendance days, then your course grade would be 89.65% (A-).
Attendance sheets are distributed at the beginning of class and then passed to the TA(s). So, if you are significantly late to class, you will not receive double attendance if it is a double attendance day (you can, however, sign the attendance sheets at the end of class for regular attendance).
Extra credit
In addition, extra credit can be earned for each exam by submitting one multiple choice question (with 4 to 5 alternative answers listed a to e) that cover the READING TOPICS and NOT the LECTURES. If you turn in a question that cover material only presented in lecture, you will not recieve credit for that question. If a question is judged not to be trivial, then you will receive 2.5 points added to your exam score. From 0 to 5 of these questions also will be included on the exam. Thus, if the question is exceptionally good and included on the exam, then not only will you receive 2.5 points, you are assured (because you wrote the question) to get it correct as well! All extra credit questions are due by 5 PM on the day before the exam (if they come at 5:01 PM, they are not accepted). All extra credit questions should be submitted to Sabine Durand and cc a copy to Jeff Schank.
The Rules
1. No extra credit will be given to questions covering topics that are not on the reading topics list.
2. If multiple questions are submitted, only the first question will be considered, so submit only your best one.
3. Questions that are too simple, too complex or too specific in detail will likely be rejected for inclusion on the exam.
Midterm Exams
There will be three midterm exams consisting of 40 multiple choice questions. Each exam will constitute approximately 23.34% of the course grade, which will depend on whether you want to drop one exam and take the final. There will be no make up tests because I drop the lowest exam (including the final). Thus, the final is optional. If, for example, medical reasons cause you to miss two or more exams, then an incomplete for the course is the best option if you are in good standing (i.e., you have at least a C average for the material submitted).
Final Exam
The final exam will have the same format as the midterm exams (i.e., 40 multiple choice questions), except that it will be comprehensive. It will constitute 23.34% of the course grade but need not be taken if you are satisfied with your grades on the three previous exams, in which case, your 3 midterm exam scores will count towards 70% of your course grade. Final exams will only be given on the scheduled date, not earlier or later. If, however, everyone agrees on changing the final to an earlier date or time, then I will move it to that earlier date or time.
The lab will consist of two main projects. The first project will be a research paper and the final project will be presented as a poster. Lab projects will be group projects put together by groups 3 students (2 or 4 students when the numbers do not add up). Everyone in a group will receive the same grade. This is to your benefit since group work typically results in higher lab grades. You must, however, pull your own weight in your lab group or the lab grade you receive may be reduced in proportion to your lack of participation (this is determined by your TA).
The mouse labs will together contribute 60% to your total lab grade and be written up as a research paper by each lab group (i.e., there will be one jointly written paper by each lab group). The final project will constitute the other 40% of the grade and it will be presented as a poster on the final day of the lab. The lab grade itself will constitute 25% of the total course grade.
The total grade will consist of Exams (70%) + Lab Grade (25%) + Attendance (0% to 5% points) = a maximum of 100%
Class Email
In addition to the listed office hours, please do not hesitate to send any questions or comments about the readings and lectures. I usually can get an answer back within a day or less. This may be especially important when reading the text, since the material presented is complex and the presentation is at a very high level. Topics from the assigned readings that may be covered in the tests will be provided in the course calendar. All announcements, changes, etc. will also be distributed by class email (firstname.lastname@example.com).
To keep costs down all readings are provided online so that you don't have to buy any textbooks or other reading material. The main source of readings comes from: George F. Michel & Celia L. Moore (1995). Developmental Psychobiology: An Interdisciplinary Science. The MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Note: You can click on the link above and download PDF files of Developmental Psychobiology, but you will not be able to print them out. These readings are also available on smartsite in the resources folder for this class. Reading topics for each exam will be posted together with a link to the online readings.
Lab Objectives
The basic objective of the lab is a better understanding of the processes of science involved in untangling the complexities of the phenomena studied by developmental biological psychology. To this end you will be performing computer simulation experiments that are based on actual results from previous research. The last 2/5 of the lab will be devoted to a study on the developmental behavior of piglets and their mother (sow).

Harvey injured
NEW YORK — Matt Harvey has a partially torn ligament in his right elbow, a potentially devastating injury for the pitcher that had given the foundering New York Mets reason to be hopeful about their future.
For now, the 24-year-old Harvey and the Mets hope that he will be able to avoid reconstruction surgery on the ulnar collateral ligament. A full prognosis will not be made until swelling in the elbow goes down.
"It was tough. Obviously it was the last thing I was expecting when I went this morning," Harvey said Monday. "I am going to do everything I can to avoid surgery."
In July, Harvey was the N.L. All-Star game starter on his home field.
this July, Harvey has been experiencing forearm tenderness for a month or two but could not pinpoint exactly when it began. The discomfort increased during his start Saturday against the Detroit Tigers, when he allowed a career-high 13 hits.
Harvey admitted he was tired against the Tigers, the 26th start of his first full season in the major leagues. Manager Terry Collins said he noticed Harvey's pitches weren't as crisp, a sign of fatigue.
But Collins didn't know Harvey had any issues with his forearm until Sunday and the ace went for an MRI at the Hospital for Special Surgery a day later.
"Nothing is shooting in my elbow at all. That's not the issue," Harvey said. "When I heard the news, I was pretty shocked. I'm still very optimistic."
Harvey wasn't the only one in the Mets organization stunned by the news.
"This was a surprise to all of us," general manager Sandy Alderson said. "Forearm pain can foretell problems with the elbow, but in this particular circumstance there had been no indications of that."
Harvey wasn't immediately placed on the disabled list. Carlos Torres will take his spot in the rotation and face the Phillies on Thursday.
Torres got two outs on Monday night in the Mets' 2-1 loss to Philadelphia that dropped New York to 58-71.
The No. 7 pick of the 2010 draft, Harvey is 9-5 with a 2.27 ERA. He has a league-leading 191 strikeouts in 178 1-3 innings pitched and was a top candidate for the NL Cy Young Award.
"It put everybody down," catcher Travis d'Arnaud said. "When we heard the news everybody was just speechless. I just feel terrible, man."
The Mets were working on limiting Harvey's innings to a little more than 200 this season. Alderson said there is no real scientific basis for managing young pitchers' careers.
"These innings limits are not a guarantee of anything. They're certainly not based on any science," Alderson said. "This is a kind of progressive injury that isn't a function of, we don't believe in this case a specific incident or quote overuse. It's an anatomical fact that these things happen."
The blow is particularly tough for an organization that has not been to the playoffs since 2006, and hasn't had a winning season in its new ballpark that opened in '09.
But Harvey was the first of several top young pitchers who were supposed to help lead New York back to the postseason, and Mets captain David Wright cited the talent in the minor leagues as one of the reasons he signed a big contract to remain in New York last winter.
One of those rising stars, Zack Wheeler, started for the Mets on Monday and took the loss.
Wheeler pitched impressively into the seventh inning, giving up two runs and five hits. But Collins lifted him with two outs even though Wheeler was about to face Phillies lefty Cliff Lee.
"We said before the game that 105 was the limit," Collins said. "Obviously, after what happened earlier today we're sticking to it."
Harvey made a marvelous big league debut last season, striking out 11 in 5 2-3 innings against the Diamondbacks and has been even more dominant this season.
Big like classic power pitchers Nolan Ryan and Roger Clemens, with a fastball that regularly reaches 98 mph, Harvey flirted with no-hitters several times this season. The excitement at Citi Field every time he pitched was not present on most other nights, and the Mets took to calling his starts "Harvey Day."
"This is a great loss for the Mets. Matt Harvey has given us a lot of hope this year for the future. He's been our shining star this year," said David Greenfield of Fairlawn, N.J., a self-professed Mets fan since their first season of 1962. "He's a class guy, and Mets fans need something to hang our hats on."
The news about Harvey comes just days after the same doctor, David Altchek, recommended Tommy John Surgery for teammate Jeremy Hefner.
Also, right-hander Jenrry Mejia returned from elbow-reconstruction surgery last September. After making just five starts this year, he went back on the DL and is likely going to have an operation to remove bone spurs from the elbow. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana had his second shoulder surgery and is out for the season.
While Harvey hopes to avoid surgery by strengthening the muscles in the shoulder and arm, Alderson was a bit more realistic in discussing the elbow. He said this type of injury can worsen over time and that even if the ace with a Russian supermodel for a girlfriend can keep from having an operation now, he may need it in several years.
Tommy John surgery has become a fairly common procedure for pitchers. Recovery time usually takes at least a year, and many have made successful returns. Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg had the operation after a tantalizing debut. His teammate Jordan Zimmermann, an All-Star this year, also made a successful return.
