Adult Fiction BROOKNE
Summary: In her exquisite new novel, acclaimed author Anita Brookner deals with one of the great dramas of our lives: growing up and leaving home. At twenty-six, Emma Roberts comes to the painful realization that if she is ever to become truly independent, she must leave her comfortable London flat and venture out into the wider world. This entails not only breaking free from a claustrophobic relationship with her reclusive, widowed mother but also shedding her inherited tendency toward melancholy. Emma yearns to make friends, attend parties, and have love affairs like other women, but to her these things seem forever out of reach-that is, until her college tutors find her a scholarship to study seventeenth-century garden design in Paris. Once settled in a small Paris hotel, Emma befriends Françoise Desnoyers, a vibrant young woman who is as confident as Emma is tentative, as provocative as Emma is reserved, and as worldly as Emma is naïve. On a weekend visit to Françoise's beautiful country château, L'Ermitage, Emma is drawn into Françoise's problematic relationship with her imperious mother, who demands that Françoise marry a rich family friend to secure their future. For Emma, the glimpse into Françoise's turbulent life affords her a newfound and welcome respect for her own. But as she begins to date and to feel at home in her new city, Emma must make a decision: settle for a life of comfortable relationships and familiar routines, or hold out for "that evanescent hope of a good outcome which never deserts one, and which should never be abandoned."

But according to Bloomberg.com this so-called bubble is simply from banks completing their foreclosures and holding onto inventory. The increased value of properties has been attracting various investors and speculators, which is helping fuel this latest rise in real estate prices. Experts say once banks start releasing the foreclosed homes into the market to start selling them, the prices may begin to get depressed again.In Las Vegas alone, more than half of properties with mortgages are still underwater, or worth less than the loans against them, according to Zillow Inc., a real estate data firm.

There are just four tables at this cozy bistro at a bend in the path between the docks. Created by lake native Santos Canel, the brief but exciting menu features an array of Asian and Guatemalan dishes, from Thai curries to kaq-ik (chicken and vegetables in a fiery salsa). The Diosa Blue headlines the highly original cocktail selection.

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgery has changed dramatically in the last 20 years. The advancement of technology and equipment-like miniature cameras-have allowed surgeons to completely change the way they perform surgeries.
The use of minimally invasive surgery (sometimes called laparoscopic surgery) involves making a series of very small incisions in which a camera and instruments are placed so the surgeon can view and perform the procedure.
This type of surgery has fewer risks, less pain, and requires a shorter recovery period than the traditional "open" surgery, which utilizes a single, large incision.

10 yard-sale shopping tips
Spring is in the air, and that means yard-sale season is right around the corner. Here's how to be a better shopper.
This post comes from Angela Colley at partner site Money Talks News.
Most of my books cost a quarter. Half the furniture in my house cost less than $50. I've been drinking wine out of a 10-cent wine glass for the past three years. And I owe it all to getting up at the crack of dawn to score good deals at garage sales.
While garage sales are a great way to make money, they're also a great way to save money -- if you do it right.
Here are 10 things I've learned after years of garage sale hunting.
Then I plot each address on a map in a circle around my house. Having a map saves me hours of driving around looking for random signs.
Many neighborhood garage sales will have posted ads in the newspaper, but I also keep an eye out for signs during the week. The neighborhood association usually posts a flier or a banner in front of its neighborhood sign a few days ahead of time.
Get up early. It pays to show up right on time or even a few minutes early, and at most garage sales that means an official 7 a.m. start, with the serious buyers milling about 15 to 20 minutes before that. If you're looking for something specific and in short supply, like furniture, you can bet someone else is looking for the same thing, so the key is to beat them to it.
According to MSNBC, most items sell for 12% to 15% of their original value. That's a fair price. So as a buyer, if I find an item that isn't marked or the seller wants to haggle, I aim to pay no more than 15% of what I think it cost new.
My friend once put a (very) used brass coffee table on sale for $250, thinking she'd get at least $200. For three days people came by and offered her everything from $20 to $75, but she wasn't budging. More than a few people stood there for a while haggling with her. But it didn't matter, because she had placed an emotional value on that coffee table.
In my opinion, it's a good idea to make one or two offers and then walk away. You could be missing out on a great deal at another garage sale by standing there arguing with an emotional seller.
I once bought a bookshelf marked $30 for $5 because the sale was ending. Since then, I always try to hit the last hour or two of garage sales. I've gotten stuff for half price and even free that way.

Manche, a region of Normandy in the North of France, is surrounded on three sides by the English Channel, boasting 350km of coastline. However, beside Manche's maritime excellence, taking a villa in Manche, Normandy allows you the flexibility, freedom and space to enjoy discovering the wealth of hugely important historical sites, especially from WW II, and indulge in the hearty, rustic cuisine and sensational cider of Normandy.
Manche is divided into three areas, the Cotentin Peninsula, Bocage area and the Western Coast. The Cotentin Peninsula, or Cherbourg Peninsula is a fairly remote region, bar the port town of Cherbourg. It did however play a strong role in WW II, and houses the Musee de la Garre et de la Liberation.
A Manche holiday rental in Coutances, Normandy's capital, will ensure you some of the best scenery in northern France. Coutances is the prettiest town in Normandy, centred around the 11th Century cathedral at the heart of the city.
The western coast is lined with some magnificent beaches, and the jewel in the crown of Manche is the spectacular Mont St Michel, which attracts many thousands of tourists, and for good reason. The architectural marvel at Mont St Michel is surrounded by fantastic beaches, filled with sunbathers, swimmers, people playing tennis and football and many small boats and yachts.
Manche is a very natural environment, with agriculture supporting the local economy. Holidaymakers taking accommodation here, from a Manche barn to a rental villa, will undoubtedly be impressed and inspired by the natural way of life. There is nowhere better than Manche to walk or bicycle through the countryside and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells. The marked tracks of the Cotentin and Bessin Marshlands Regional Park are hard to beat for fresh air and relaxing scenery.
Taking a self catering Manche villa is not a good idea for those looking to loose weight! Most dishes are made with the much sought-after butter of Sainte-Mere-Eglise, Cotentin oysters, salt lamb of Mont St Michel or famous Normandy beef, all washed down with some of the regions delicious cider.
Manche has an oceanic climate, which keeps winter days from reaching freezing. Summer temperatures are mild, with daily averages reaching around 15°C, but with precipitation being common on the coast from autumn until March.
A holiday villa in Manche is very easy to get to from the UK. Direct flights from the UK arrive at Rennes in Brittany, provided by Flybe. Ferries run from the south coast of England to Cherbourg, Caen, Le Harve and St Malo, on passenger and car ferries. A TGV link from the Channel Tunnel to Le Harve or Cherbourg is also a cheap and easy option to reach a holiday rental in Manche.

Sanitation Department - Yard Waste
Your $12.00 monthly service fee includes yard waste collection. Leaf collection operates on a seasonal basis and is covered in that section. The purpose of city provided yard waste collection is to help keep our city clean from small fallen limbs, leaves and other yard waste. This service is not meant to replace tree trimmers and other professional services who cut and remove trees.
Yard waste is scheduled to be collected on the same day that your trash is collected.
Basic Service
Included in your basic service is the collection of; limbs (under 6 inches in diameter), shrubs (without root balls), brush, Christmas trees and other common yard trimmings (excluding grass). Collection includes up to one pickup truck sized load weekly. During leaf collection season (starting October 26th and ending as weather dictates, but not later than February 15th), yard waste collection ends as crews focus on leaf collection.
Advanced Service
For an additional charge, other items can be collected.
- Grass must be bagged in plastic bags bearing a "grass sticker" for collection. Save landfill space and mulch your grass as an alternative. Stickers can be purchased at City Hall for $1.25 each.
Guide to Quality Service
To receive the best service possible, please follow these guidelines:
- Have yard waste curbside by 6:00a.m. Once trucks pass through your neighborhood, they cannot return.
- Limbs can be up to 30 feet in length but must be smaller than 6 inches in diameter to be collected; place "butt-ends" facing the street.
- Loose yard waste (small trimmings, sticks and small shrubs) should be bagged, or placed in a separate can for collection.
- No dirt of any kind can be collected; no root balls.
- No contractor yard waste. Your service is limited to what you or your immediate family living at the residence have cut. Home or property owner is responsible for ensuring removal of any yard waste cut by person(s) receiving compensation for trimming/cutting.
- Please do not block collections with cars.
- Limit bags and personal cans with yard waste to 30lbs.
Prohibited Items
Please remember that we do not collect contractor trimmings. No alley collections - our trucks are too big!
- Lumber
- Cement or rocks
- Dirt of any kind
- Grass (requires special sticker)
Christmas Trees
The Sanitation Department collects clean, natural, "undressed" trees beginning January 1. Please place trees curbside for collection.
Create Your Own Compost Pile
Click on the following link for more information: http://www2.epa.gov/recycle/composting-home
You can create a compost pile in your backyard or indoors, depending on your available space. Backyard and indoor composting are most suitable for households to convert small quantities of organic materials, such as yard trimmings and food scraps, into compost that can be spread in garden beds, under shrubs, or use it as potting soil for outdoor plants.
Before you begin composting, you should understand the composting process. View what materials to compost and what materials not to compost and read up on the science behind composting about which variables must be controlled during composting.
All composting requires three basic ingredients:
Browns—Includes materials such as dead leaves, branches , twigs
Greens—Includes materials such as grass clippings, vegetable waste, fruit scraps, and coffee grounds
Having the right amount of greens, browns, and water is important for compost development. Ideally, your compost pile should have an equal amount of browns to greens and alternate layers of organic materials of different-size particles. The brown materials provide carbon for your compost and the green materials provide nitrogen, while the water provides moisture to help breakdown the organic matter.
There is no one "right" way to compost, but you may want to follow one of the approaches below:
Backyard Composting Approach One1
Helpful Composting Tools
Square-point shovel or machete
Water hose with a spray head
1. Select a dry, shady spot near a water source for your compost pile or bin.
2. Add your brown and green materials as you collect them, making sure larger pieces are chopped or shredded.
3. Moisten dry materials as they are added.
4. Once your compost pile is established, mix grass clippings and green waste into the pile and bury fruit and vegetable waste under 10 inches of compost material.
5. Optional: Cover top of compost with a tarp to keep it moist.
6. When the material at the bottom is dark and rich in color, your compost is ready to use (this is usually occurs in two months to two years).
Backyard Composting Approach Two1
1. Select a dry, shady spot near a water source for your compost pile or bin.
2. Before you add your brown and green materials, make sure larger pieces are chopped or shredded.
3. Cover your composting area with a 6-inch layer of brown materials.
4. Add a 3-inch layer of green materials and a little soil or finished compost.
5. Lightly mix the two layers above.
6. Top with a 3-inch layer of brown materials, adding water until moist.
7. Turn your compost pile every week or two with a pitchfork to distribute air and moisture. Move the dry materials from the edges into the middle of the pile. Continue this practice until the pile does not re-heat much after turning.
8. Your compost will be ready in one to four months, but let the pile sit for two weeks before using.
Indoor Composting
If you do not have space for an outdoor compost pile, you can compost materials indoors using a special type of bin, which you can buy or make yourself. Remember to tend your pile and keep track of what you throw in. A properly managed compost bin will not attract pests or rodents and will not smell bad. Your compost should be ready in 2 to 5 weeks.
Build Your Own Indoor Bin
1. Drill 1/2-inch diameter holes in the bottom and sides of a plastic garbage can.
2. Place a brick in the bottom of a larger garbage can, surround the brick with a layer of wood chips or soil, and place the smaller can inside on top of the brick.
3. Wrap insulation around the outer can to keep the compost warm and cover the cans with a lid.

Why LivingSocial's Instant Deals are a good deal for local merchants.
From The Olive Garden to Outback Steakhouse to Lone Star Steakhouse to The Pancake House (original name, huh?), I did my fair share of serving up grub throughout my high school and college years. Heck, it beat donating plasma. Therefore, I am all too familiar with the infamous dead hours—those awkward in-between-meal hours, say, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., when I was paid $2.15 an hour to stand with the rest of the wait staff, slurp down free soda and attempt to sneak breadsticks.
I can only imagine how happy restaurants (and their servers who stand around folding napkins sans tips) would be if there were a way to drive more business through the doors during these periods. And, if you think about it most local establishments have this issue. I'd venture to say most neighborhood accessory boutiques aren't exactly slammed on a Tuesday at 11 a.m. and I know from experience that the nail salon near my work is packed over the lunch hour, then dies down at around 2 p.m. only to pick up again around 5 p.m. for the after-work crowd. I can't think of much that could be more frustrating for a small business than having to pay employees every day for several hours when they have little more to do than play Sudoku.
That's why I think LivingSocial's new mobile feature is ingenious. The daily deal e-commerce site began testing yesterday Instant Deals, a new feature within in its mobile app that lets users search for deals within a half-mile radius of their current location.
Unlike LivingSocial's usual daily deals, which are live for 24 hours, Instant Deals are live for a short period of time. The goal, LivingSocial says, is to help merchants attract traffic during slow times. For example, a dinner restaurant can increase its sales during a slow afternoon by offering a special deal between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., LivingSocial says.
It's smart because it fights one of the biggest complaints local establishments have about daily deal programs: the revenue they have to give up to participate. A retailer, spa or restaurant offering a $100 voucher for $50 has to share the $50 or so with LivingSocial, getting only $25 for $100 worth of merchandise, food or services. But if the deal is offered only during a time when the customer base is slim to none, as is the case with Instant Deals, well that's a whole different story. After all, some business is better than no business.
It's no secret that the daily-deal space is more crowded than my favorite local deli at lunch hour. But if this feature from LivingSocial can help that deli bring a dozen hungry patrons at 3 p.m. when the order counter is empty, I'd venture to say it would be eager to sign on.
It's out-of-the box thinking like this that will separate winners from the losers in the daily-deal arena. Right now it's a battle between Groupon and LivingSocial as No. 1 and No. 2. Point: LivingSocial.

Prepare a medium bowl of ice water. Blanch the peas in boiling salted water for about 20 to 30 seconds and refresh in the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain.
Spoon the vinaigrette into a bowl, add the peas, mint, and salt and pepper and toss to coat. Divide among 4 salad plates and serve.
This dish is wonderful. I added grape tomatoes to the toss, and used the rest of the orange vinaigrette as a marinade for a fillet of coho salmon. The tomatoes added color, and the broiled coho was delicious!Reply

To celebrate my 3 year anniversary (which will be on December 24th), I decided to post my top ten favorite posts of 2012 for each section. Second up is the 'listen & love' section.
My Top 10 Favorite 'listen & love' Songs of 2012
1. send one your love by stevie wonder: It's Stevie Wonder. Do I really need to say anything more? LISTEN HERE
2. for real by amel larrieux: It is the perfect Sunday morning. So refreshing, so sunny, so nice. LISTEN HERE
3. i still love by gretchen parlato featuring alan hampton: Unconditional love is so beautiful when in an acoustic song. Such a lovely message with a nice breezy melody. LISTEN HERE
4. the stand by the floacist: The Stand is one of the most motivational songs I've heard in awhile. It will definitely have you stand up for yourself, your true self. LISTEN HERE
5. we all try by frank ocean: Self-acceptance is one of the cornerstones to self-love. This song allows us to not be so hard on ourselves and to know that we all try to the best us we can be in the moment. LISTEN HERE
6. one tribe by black eyed peas: This song is a great reminder that we are all one. The feel-good nature makes you believe that peace amongst us all is possible and it is VERY possible! LISTEN HERE
7. thank you by boyz ii men: Gratefulness never sounded so good. Thank you, Boyz II Men for singing this song. LISTEN HERE
8. never give up by robin thicke: The title pretty much sums up the purpose of the song but it definitely does not sum up the sound of it. I bet you never heard this timely message quite like this. LISTEN HERE
9. we're almost there by michael jackson: This song came to me at the perfect time when I needed to hear it badly. Sometimes, we all need someone in our ear telling us to keep pushing on and that is exactly what this song did for me. LISTEN HERE
10. god is love by marvin gaye: This site is all for love. Therefore, this site is all for God. It's my way of giving thanks for this life and for being able to manifest a little corner of love through words, songs, art and any other way I can possibly imagine in this project. So of course, this song had to be in my top ten list because the title is so poignant and it's sung by one of my favorites, Marvin Gaye. LISTEN HERE
All of the songs in the "listen and love" section are songs that I listen to and love hence the title so it was hard to pick but there goes my top ten favorites for this year. If you would like to know my top 11 albums of 2012, then you can head on over to my Tumblr page HERE.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has "overturned the Pentagon's classification of a Guantanamo detainee as an enemy combatant," undermining "the basis for his more than six years in detention." The court also rejected the argument that the President can "detain people who never took up arms against the U.S.," dealing another setback to the Bush administration's detention program.
Appeals court rules against Bush administration in enemy combatant case.

MADISON, WI (WSAU) - Senate and Assembly committees will both meet February 6th to advance a mining bill to the floor for debate.
Republicans have said they wish to pass the bill quickly to stimulate job creation. Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said he hopes to have the full Senate vote on the bill around March 5.
Democrats have proposed their own mining bill, which keeps environmental regulations close to what they are right now. The Assembly and Senate committees will decide to move it to the floor or kill it in committee two weeks after the one and only public hearing on the proposal.

(Updated) Boston University student killed in Allston fire
A Boston University student from Brooklyn, N.Y. was killed and two other students were injured when the Allston home they were in erupted in flames Sunday morning, sending at least one person jumping from the roof of a porch to escape the fierce flames.
Binland Lee, 22, was a senior studying marine science and was scheduled to graduate in September, according to BU Today. She graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School in 2009.
In a letter to the school community Sunday night, President Robert Brown called the incident a tragedy.
"Our thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends of the individual who has died and all the victims of the fire," Brown said in his letter, which was posted on the school's website.
A fire department spokesman said Lee was found in the attic.
The three-alarm fire broke out at 87 Linden St., at about 6:30 a.m. In total 15 people were injured, including six Boston firefighters. The fire and smoke were so intense and caused so much damage inside that fire crews were pulled out of the building during their effort.
Investigators are still determining the cause of the fire. City inspectors have also been called in because it appeared that 19 people were living in the three-story home. It was not immediately clear how many people were legally allowed to live there. BU officials said at least nine students lived in the home.

Chief of Weagamow Swanson Kenequanash says thank you to Uxbridge
Leader of First Nations community went on recent tour of town
By Shawn Cayley
UXBRIDGE -- Late last year a group of local residents travelled north to a remote First Nations reserve to lend support to a downtrodden community and teach some hockey skills to its youth in the process.
The 10-person Hope Through Hockey team featured six current or former members of the Uxbridge Tigers boys' hockey club. While in Weagamow, a North Caribou Lake First Nations community located some 300 kilometres north of Sioux Lookout, the group helped bring a little hope and happiness to an area short on both.
They spent time teaching hockey skills and life skills to a community that has been ravaged by untimely deaths relating to suicide, accidents and other preventable causes in recent years.
Earlier this month, the new leader of Weagamow, Chief Swanson Kenequanash, made the trek to Uxbridge to say thanks.
"We'd like to thank you, Uxbridge, for all you have done," Chief Kenequanash said. "Our young people need help ... and the moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas.
"In the community, I hear (people talk) about what you did. I hear it. Again, I say thank you."
Chief Kenequanash added that the happiness, hope and help with hockey brought to his community by residents of Uxbridge was much needed.
"Its very tough when you live in a remote community," he said.
"We have gone through quite a bit and when you hear about what we've gone through, you only hear bits and pieces. The last five years we've lost quite a few of our people ... and we've lost them through suicide, drug overdose and some we can't explain how they died."
In 2012 alone, says Chief Kenequanash, 23 community members died and only three of those deaths were deemed natural.
Weagamow is a community of just 900 people -- meaning those 20 preventable deaths represented a significant blow.
"We've been hit really hard," he said. "And when something happens across the community we all feel it."
Chief Kenequanash brought his wife and two children with him on his tour of Uxbridge. During the visit they toured the local high school and the arena, among other places.
Uxbridge's work with Hope Through Hockey and the chief's subsequent visit to town won't be the end of the relationship between the two communities.
Rather, it's just the start, according to Don Simmonds, who spearheaded Uxbridge's efforts in Weagamow and arranged for the chief's visit to town.
"Really what we're building is a friendship between Uxbridge as a community and the community of Weagamow," said Mr. Simmonds. "When you think of the term friendship, you think of your best friend."

In addition, the South Fork Canyon has some absolutely beautiful wildflowers that should be approaching their peak brilliance just about now.
As a further bonus, the South Fork is well known as a great place for panning gold. I have personally seen gold nuggets as big as my fingertip in the bottom of a gold pan on the South Fork. What more could you ask for?
Trout, gold, beautiful wildflowers and Feisty bronze colored Smallmouth all in a single trip!
The most popular stretch of the South Fork Merced is the lowest section, from Savages Trading Post at the confluence with the Main Merced along the highway leading into Yosemite Valley, and then upstream along a foot trail that follows the East Bank all the way to Hite's Cove.
This section is covered with an amazing array of wildflowers in spring, so bring your camera. Fishing is fair to good, and gets better as you work further upstream to Hite's Cove—which was a huge mine complex, complete with massive stamp mills to crush the gold bearing ore.
A gold pan from the back pocket of your fishing vest might just produce a nugget or two to spice up your day! Be extremely careful about treading on someone's mining claim however, it could get you shot. (REALLY.)
The stretch from Hite's cove to Devil's Gulch is fairly level, but great fishing for both trout and Smallmouth bass. I recommend a dropper fly rig with a light colored fly on top and a black wooly Worm as the bottom (or hand) fly.
It is very possible to hook two fish on the same cast while casting in the large pools of this stretch. You might even hook a trout on one fly and a Smallmouth on the other. Although I am a lifelong trout angler, the smashing strike of a Smallmouth or Bronzeback bass is likely to make you convert to bass fishing!
The smashing strike of a Bronzeback feels like the rod is going to be torn from your hand. If you have heart trouble, be sure to bring your nitroglycerine! You might need it.
The stretch from Devils Gulch to Peach Tree Bar includes a crossing of the river on the tram car suspended from a sturdy steel cable.
You have to pull yourself hand over hand to cross the river, but be careful not to fall out of the tram car. I did that once and knocked myself out for a half hour or so.
Peach Tree Bar was a small mining camp of a few hundred souls or less and is only reachable by the foot trail. All of the wooden buildings are collapsed and crumbling back into the earth, but there are all kinds of iron artifacts left by the miners lying in the area. It would probably be nirvana for someone with a metal detector.
On the hillside above PeachTree Bar there are extensive bedrock mortars left by the original Native American inhabitants. If you search really hard you might just find a pestle or two resting in a mortar hole as though someone 200 years ago had taken a lunch break and never returned.
All in all, the South Fork Merced is an outdoor fanatics dream. It's got it all: great fishing, beautiful wildflowers and gold panning. You have to do some serious hiking to get there but, you'll never forget it.
Until next time!

Madonna will present U.S. journalist Anderson Cooper with the Vito Russo Award at the 24th annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York City on March 16.
Bing: Madonna's Instagram controversy
The Vito Russo Award is presented to an openly lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender media professional who has made "a significant difference in promoting equality." The award is named for Vito Russo, a founder of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
Previous Vito Russo honorees include Ricky Martin, Rosie O'Donnell, Alan Cumming, Cynthia Nixon, Nathan Lane, Cherry Jones, Elton John and Tom Ford.
"Madonna has been a passionate spokesperson and longtime supporter of gay rights," GLAAD president Herndon Graddick said. "She has embraced LGBT people around the world on many occasions. From speaking out against bullying to raising support for marriage equality, Madonna has always been one of our community's strongest allies. We are honored to have her stand with GLAAD and Anderson Cooper."
I am so very, very sick of this s__t. So you say you want to be treated equally? I submit that you do not, in fact, want to be treated equally. You want to be treated SPECIAL, as indicated by the constant back-slapping, awards, and cries for attention. Guess what? NO ONE GIVES A S__T THAT YOU'RE GAY! I don't agree with ANYONE being bullied for ANY reason, but haven't we gone out of our way to make LGBTs, and many others, feel better about themselves for long enough? OK, we (heterosexuals) accept you. Now will you please shut up?! And if that doesn't resolve the issue, then how about heterosexuals congratulate themselves via awards, groups, committees, social events, etc., so that we are ALL, indeed, equal? Would that be OK? I'm guessing "NO".

Sushi Ran's Sustainable Bluefin Tuna
Yesterday I posted a blog stating that Sushi Ran has bluefin tuna on their menu. I found out today that I was incorrect: Sushi Ran's tuna comes from Kindai University, where they're farm-raising Bluefin. (I noticed that today Sushi Ran's menu wording has changed, making this more explicit.) Sebo, in SF, also sells this pricey tuna. Although it's certainly a much better alternative, the environmentalist jury is apparently still out. Still, my apologies to Sushi Ran for making the assumption that their Bluefin was wild, rather than ranch raised.

On the one hand, we're not made for eternal youth. And one could argue that knowing life is short (or just limited) is what makes it worth living. And perhaps death is a major spiritual part of life, whether you believe in a soul or in a metaphorical one.
On the other hand, how is aging yet not another disease? Dying at age 80 is no more a "natural" death than being eaten alive by a bear or killed by malaria. In fact, "old age" is probably the most unnatural cause of death, statistically. So all that's probably just a cultural habit : diseases are evil but aging is good. Another point is that, well, things have changed. Perhaps our new environment makes it suitable for immortal youths.
And of course, becoming immortal only means that you die when YOU chose to die.
So would you go for the injection or not, and how do you rationalize your decision?

Nov 3 2013: Is it a disease? I mean, everything comes to an end. Trees, virus, bacteria, humans. It seems to be a part of a cycle, the death.
I believe it is part of the universe, that we someday die to all of our organic matter become, once again, inorganic matter. The immortality is no more than a concept made by the human being. As equally, trying to find a "sense" on everything, and hardly accepting that "sense" is no more than a human concept.
Nov 4 2013: Well, you might have an interpretation like that, but we may think of that as a struggle to survive. A lifeform that we fought against to survive, like, I don't know, buffalos?
Everytime we have to cure a disease, is it a healing of our organism or is it a killing of the parasite organism? Or both?
Nov 5 2013: I think in this way: we are matter. Sometime, the inorganic matter became organic, and we evolved to what we are today. So, this life is an experience. It is the atoms that compose me feeling what life is. We are not certain if there is life again, so, given that this might be a unique experience, there is no reason for me to dispose of the experience of life.
Of course, cultural meanings may have a strong position on the human being's life. I'm sorry if that is not related to the topic.

Stocks continued last week to seek some firmer footing, as prices found some support and volatility hit some resistance, and a flight to safety of global capital benefited long-term Treasury bonds -- the very assets that are supposed to be selling off in a secular "Great Rotation" into equities.

You know by now that the Fed last week opted not to begin tapering its quantitative easing (i.e., buying of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities), primarily for two reasons, I believe. First, rapidly rising long-term interest rates were already starting to hurt the recovering housing market (and the resulting wealth effect).

For most of 2013 thus far, the market has been on a steady rise without volatility within a narrow channel.

Wall Street has been traveling in a tight line this past week, a classic tightrope walk between greed and fear.

Until today, the stock market had lost its year-end traction, and it is exclusively due to the unresolved Federal budget and the looming Fiscal Cliff and debt ceiling.

Topic - routes on skye?
blakey on 04 Dec 2012
Hi all,
Later this winter I'm off to Scotland, and conditions permitting I would love to get over to Skye for a bit of winter climbing.Has anyone got any specific recommendations for routes at grade I to IV so that I can get a few ideas before splashing out on a new guidebook?.
Obviously the whole ridge traverse is the (very unlikely)dream, but apart from that and pinnacle ridge on sgurr nan gillean I don't know many other winter routes in that area. I'm especially interested in long mountaineering style routes across the lower grades. Thanks.

(Services near Froedtert Hospital)
Questions? Contact Us
Our Transplant inpatient unit is dedicated to caring for kidney, pancreas, liver and lung transplant patients. (Heart transplant patients receive care in the Cardiovascular Unit.) Staffed by nurses and other medical professionals with specialized training, the 28-bed unit is a place for transplant patients to recover. Our unique 7/70 staffing (where nurses work seven 10-hour days and are off for seven days) allows our nurses get to know the transplant patients and their families very well, which encourages personalized care and attention.
Transplant patients, particularly those considering kidney and/or pancreas transplants, are encouraged to attend one of our pre-transplant education classes. The classes cover a variety of topics to help patients and their families better understand the transplant process, its risks and benefits. Patients are asked to attend a class before scheduling a consult with a physician.
Classes are offered two to three times per month and last about two hours. They are held at Froedtert Hospital. Because seating is limited, patients are generally limited to bringing only one family member. The classes are sometimes held in the Appleton area as well. If you are interested in signing up for a class, please call 414-805-3666, 8 a.m.-9 p.m.
At Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, post-transplant coordinators in the Kidney/Liver/Pancreas Transplant Program are available to help our patients through every aspect of their follow-up care. Our post-transplant coordinators — all RNs — serve as the main contact for patients to call for any questions or concerns they might have.
The advantage for transplant patients is that they have one person they know and one number to call for everything — and that person is familiar with their case and history. The post-transplant coordinators get patients in touch with the right people and find the answers they need quickly and efficiently. This approach gives our patients great peace of mind at a time when they need to focus on their recovery.
We also have financial liaisons who work with our transplant recipients to navigate the insurance maze and other financial issues that can occur before and after a transplant. It's vital that our transplant patients have appropriate insurance to cover the immunosuppressive medications that keep their bodies from rejecting the transplant. Our financial liaisons work with each patient to make sure they have the coverage they need at every stage of their transplant.
We offer preceptorship classes to nurses, dialysis technicians, social workers, unit managers and other medical professionals interested in learning more about the transplant process.
During the day-long workshop, participants meet with a clinical coordinator and hear a shorter version of the pre-transplant education class for patients. They also review donor and living donor options for kidney transplants. A representative of the Wisconsin Donor Network discusses where donated organs come from and how they are matched. A nurse from the Transplant Unit covers what happens on the hospital floor and after discharge. They also tour the Transplant Clinic and learn more about follow-up care. Finally, participants are usually able to view a living-donor kidney transplant in progress.
Preceptorship classes are held several times throughout the year. There is no cost for this program, and participants may qualify for continuing education credits. For more information, call 414-805-3666 or 800-272-3666.
While statistics vary for each transplant program, our overall survival rates meet or exceed national averages. Organizations such as United Network for Organ Sharing can provide current statistics on survival rates, waiting times and other significant information.
The Wisconsin Donor Network, a service line of the BloodCenter of Wisconsin, is the federally designated organ procurement organization supporting the transplant community in eastern Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Donor Network offers education, information and other resources regarding organ and tissue donation and transplantation. In addition to recovering organs for transplant, the Wisconsin Donor Network provides public and professional education about the tremendous need for organ and tissue donors. It is the region's primary, most current source of information regarding organ and tissue donation.

Mary Beth Scumaci, clinical assistant professor, and Judy Bradbury, adjunct instructor, presented at the New York State Reading Association's 2011 Annual Conference: Connecting Multiple Literacies in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. These School of Education faculty members provided an in-depth introduction to the Library of Congress's expansive Teaching with Primary Sources web site and offered instructive examples and a detailed demonstration of selected features of particular use to teachers and librarians working with children from grades K-12.
Participants had an opportunity to become familiar with recently published children's and young adult trade books that correspond with and support content area instruction and utilize and exemplify primary source material. Distinctions between primary and secondary sources were discussed, and connections to NYS P-12 Common Core Standards were highlighted. The presentation utilized the theme of Abraham Lincoln to illustrate how teachers and librarians can scaffold instruction using primary sources by integrating use of the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources website and trade books throughout the curriculum.
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

Elsewhere in Paris, the American Friends of Versailles — including the Kissingers, Susan Gutfreund, Carolyne Roehm and Audrey Gruss — are winging into town for Saturday's big ball at the palace with Laura Bush and Bernadette Chirac. Jacqueline de Ribes had planned to give them a welcome dinner at her house Wednesday, but was forced to cancel after she got news last week of her elderly father's death. Although she hadn't spoken to the old man in years, de Ribes reportedly confided to a friend, the old rules of society still dictate no dinners at home for 60 days after a death. The Americans will still get to see some swanky private dining rooms, though, since Eric and Beatrice de Rothschild, the de Ganay family (owners of the Château de Courances) and Jacques Garcia are all hosting the group.
Come July, Paris can expect another American invasion at the couture, where anyone under 40 is a social dinosaur in the making. Marjorie Gubelmann and Cornelia Guest may have outgrown the disco-deb age, but by the normally geriatric standards of the Paris couture, they're both spring poulets. Which is why their party during couture week at the Plaza Athenée is giving the other young Concorde set something to cluck about. "It's payback time," says Gubelmann, noting that she's already racked up social debts after a few seasons at the couture. At this point, the invitations have gone out to clients — young and old — and designers. "But no randoms," barks Gubelmann. A "random" is what the older generation would know as a hanger-on."

Four Sussex Residents Among 458 Medical College Physicians on 2013-14 Best Doctors List
Four hundred fifty eight Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) faculty physicians, representing more than 60 specialties, are listed on the Best Doctors 2013 website, www.bestdoctors.com. The new database, compiled by Best Doctors, Inc., includes more physicians from MCW than from any other group practice or institution in Wisconsin.
MCW physicians account for 44 percent of the 1,035 Wisconsin physicians listed in this year's database. Those physicians practice at MCW's major teaching hospital affiliates, Froedtert Hospital and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, as well as Zablocki VA Medical Center, Froedtert Health Community Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls and Froedtert Health St. Joseph's Hospital – West Bend.
Of these, four are Sussex residents. Their specialties and hospital affiliations are listed below.
• Michael Cada, M.D. – Internal Medicine & Pediatrics (Froedtert Hospital, Community Memorial)
• Michael Earing, M.D. – Congenital Heart Disease (Froedtert Hospital, Children's Hospital of WI)
• Paul M. Lemen, M.D. – Obstetrics & Gynecology (Froedtert Hospital, Community Memorial)

Of all the bodystyles that Minis have worn over the years – and there have been a lot of them – few have attained the kind of cult status as the Moke. A sort of quirky take on the beach buggy, the Mini Moke was marketed by various concerns until 1993, the year before BMW bought the brand and later relaunched production with its neo-retro design.
Ever since then, Mini has toyed with the idea of bringing back the Moke, and even showcased the Beachcomber concept in the style of the Moke at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. But it opted instead to go with the Paceman crossover coupe with its fixed roof.
A certain cadre of enthusiasts may have been disappointed, but they'll be glad to know that they can still get their hands on a continuation of the classic from Moke International. In partnership with Sicar Engineering and Chinese automaker Chery Motors, the Moke is back (sans the Mini name that belongs to BMW) with a reinterpreted form by British designer Michael Young. It's got room for four, an integrated ice cooler, but no doors, roof or windows, staying true to the original design brief.
Power comes from a naturally-aspirated 1.0-liter four with less than 50 horsepower. Mated to a five-speed manual, it drives the front wheels to reach a top speed quoted at 68 miles per hour. There's also an electric-powered eMoke with an unspecified powertrain that's said to propel it up to 37 mph and for as long as 75 miles on a single charge. In other words, it's not going anywhere fast, but still, upgraded suspension and brakes are always appreciated. Only 1,000 cars are slated to be produced each year, available in one of six exterior shades, four interior trims and two fabric roof colors.

For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture - a pale blue eye, with a film over it.

The NYPD is on the hunt for a rapist responsible for the sexual assaults of six women in Queens since 2011.
In three of the incidents the victims were jogging in Forest Park when they were attacked.
The daylight assaults happened mostly in Forest Park and along Park Lane South at the southern edge of the park.
In the last two attacks -- in August and March -- the suspect used an electric stun gun to knock his victims to the ground, said police.
In November 2012, police say the suspect exposed himself to a 40-year-old woman as she jogged with her dog.
He rubbed himself against her before fleeing.
The man also tried to rape a 13-year-old girl in September 2011, said police.
A $22,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.
He is described as 30-40 years old, approximately 5'9" tall, with light brown hair and clean shaven.
Police say he was wearing a black T-shirt and black sweat pants in one of the assaults.
If you have any information that could help police find the rapist, contact:
