Another heart breaking last minute goal in today's 1-0 loss to Columbus Crew that takes Chivas USA to their fourth consecutive loss. Many might think that there aren't any positives to take from the match, but how about Miller Bolaños performance tonight? Although our usual candidate Dan Kennedy had a great game, tonight's CDChivasUSA.com's Man of the Match is Miller Bolaños. Since the start of the match, he was quite dangerous on the attack, taking shots on goal and making passes. In the second half, Bolaños headed back to collect balls and look for the winner.
Take a look at one of Miller's shots on goal that you'll probably spot later next week nominated for MLS Save of the Week:
This past weekend, Chivas USA culminated its 5th year of Chivas at the Park Soccer Clinics. As a result of the program, 23,000 boys and girls in the Los Angeles area received affordable soccer training and learned how to live healthier lifestyles. Chivas USA is looking forward to continuing to work with the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks and the Mayor's Office next year. Thanks to everyone that participated and made these clinics so successful!
Chivas USA arrived in Columbus Monday evening on schedule for its match on Wednesday night against the Crew. Kickoff is set for 4:30 pm PT at Crew Stadium. The Goats held a light afternoon practice Tuesday at the Columbus Crew Training Center at Obetz, Ohio. The Goats lead the all-time series at 6-4-4 and are unbeaten in the last three matches against Columbus. The last two games between the Red-and-White and the Black-and-Gold resulted in ties, with the last meeting being played to an exciting 3-3 draw in Columbus. Current Goats Nick LaBrocca and Jorge Villafaña each had a goal in the contest.
Major League Soccer and MLS W.O.R.K.S. have pledged to not tolerate discrimination, bias or harassment of any kind. Don't cross the line! MLS W.O.R.K.S. will make a donation to help stop discrimination for every pledge made during the 2012 season. Chivas USA takes the pledge... do you?
Thoughts on the game: "Up until the penalty call I thought we were pretty good controlling the game defensively, they weren't very dangerous. We found a couple of opportunities, one in front of the goal with Miller's [Bolaños] ball rolled in and Casey's [Townsend] header that [Jon] Busch made a great save. I thought we were creating good chances and we were in control of them in our defensive final third, they weren't finding great opportunities on our goal I don't think Kennedy had made a save until that point."
On the referee's call: "The frustration there is obviously having seen the replay one of our players put us in a tough situation. The referees make a call of frustration and none of the officials actually involved in the game really saw it. It was the fourth official I think called it from midfield. I'm not really sure how that plays out or who has what responsibilities. I know the other two linesmen and center referee didn't actually see the play. That's frustration on both sides in terms of where the call came from and obviously our player putting us in that situation."
Thoughts on the game: "It's frustrating, we didn't do enough to come out tonight with points. Offensively we created a little bit of chances; we just weren't able to score. The referee changed the game with a call like that [penalty], and after that we were in a hole and we were just trying to push numbers trying to create more opportunities and get a goal, but it didn't come for us tonight. We need to hold our heads up and try for next week."
On the penalty: "I don't know what to say to be honest, I'm going to have to look at it again and I'm sure Coach [Fraser] is going to do the same. You don't change a game like that; you don't just make a call like that. The game was going fine until he [the referee] made a change like that. It was frustrating to have a penalty called with the ball not even close to the goal line. It's frustrating, but the guys kept battling, the guys kept fighting and we weren't able to pull it off tonight but we will be better next week."
On Coach Fraser's absence in the second half: "Robin has been there on and off the field, and Greg Vanney has done a great job being Assistant Coach. He can replace Robin like that, they work off each other. I understand why Robin had to do what he did, that's just part of being a coach, sticking up for your players."
On playoffs: "The good thing about it is that the possibility is still there, we just have to pick our heads up and keep working hard. We have a quick turn around next week in Columbus; we just have to pick our heads up and try to win the next one."
Thoughts on the game: "I thought we played really good. The penalty changed the game a little bit. It changed how we need to come out, it opens us up a little more and we have to get that tying goal."
On Coach Fraser's absence in the second half: "At the end of the day it's the players out on the field trying to do a job and get wins and we didn't do that today."
Chivas USA held a fast-paced, physical practice this morning at The Home Depot Center's Field 6 – complete with an inter-squad workout. Left back Ante Jazic and midfielder Oswaldo Minda remained absent from practice as they return from completing their participation with their respective national teams. Starting center back, Danny Califf, was held out of practice for precautionary reasons and is listed as questionable because of a right hamstring.
QUESTIONABLE: Danny Califf (R HS); Tim Melia (Low Back)
PROBABLE: MF Ryan Smith (R HS); Peter Vagenas (R HS)
As the FIFA dates came to a close last night, Chivas USA players Ante Jazic and Oswaldo Minda closed their international duties for this month.
Can you guess who this is? Write your answers below and you could be the winner of four (4) tickets to this Saturday's Chivas USA match vs San Jose Earthquakes at 7:30 p.m. in The Home Depot Center. Deadline is this Thursday, September 13 at 5pm! Write your answers in the comment box below and check back tomorrow to see if you're a winner! Remember you can only submit ONE answer.
Just like last week, and the weeks before that, Chivas USA's Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy is nominated for MLS Save of the Week!
After opening the scoreboard in last Saturday's Chivas USA game at Seattle, midfielder Nick LaBrocca is nominated for MLS' Goal of the Week. The New Jersey native scored his second goal of the season in the eighth minute of that match off a pass by newcomer Shalrie Joseph (his first assist with the Goats). Aside from his nomination to the league-wide honor, LaBrocca was also selected CDChivasUSA.com's Man of the Match.

Home » Patient Stories » Kevin Degnan Runs Again after a Surgery that Amputated His Leg
When Kevin Degnan was hit by a car in 1986, the avid runner's world as he knew it stood still. His lower left leg was severely injured, putting the Canisius College track star's passion on hold long term.
After enduring fourteen surgeries, years of rehabilitation, and constant fights with infection, Degnan and his doctor made the mutual decision to amputate.
Three months after his surgery, in January 2011, he's started running again.
Degnan's journey has been an amazing one to say the least. Confronted with a host of emotions, questions and concerns, he didn't know what the future would hold. He describes his experience as an uphill battle.
"Running was my life and this accident, and then the surgery; it hit me from so many psyches. I couldn't have done it without my amazing support system – family, friends, work and the physical therapists at AthletiCare."
Through modern prosthetics and proper rehabilitation, many amputees can lead active, productive lives.
"From the moment a patient learns an amputation is necessary, we begin the education process with the entire family, discussing everyone's needs and what lies ahead," says Joe Baumgarden, manager of AthletiCare at Kenmore Mercy Hospital. "From there, specially trained therapists work with amputee patients to provide seamless care and help them achieve their rehabilitation goals."
For Degnan, that goal is to a run a 5K in April. A resident of Kenmore, he can be seen running through the village. On nice days, he even runs to AthletiCare, where Baumgarden has tailored a rehabilitation plan working on balance, strength, coordination, getting him to walk and eventually run without thinking.
"Some people who go through an amputation end up being so inactive that they're at risk for obesity, depression, and diabetes," said Baumgarden. "That obviously hasn't been the case for Kevin. He has shown determination, courage and amazing enthusiasm. He is truly an inspiration."

Lower voting age, raise turnout?
Published at 10:49, Thursday, 01 November 2012
Politicians are regularly whining about the continuing rise in voter apathy.
Year after year, fewer of us vote. This could be because the quality of the candidates don't enthuse us, that we don't think our MP will make any difference to where we live or improve our lives, or that we think they're all corrupt and in the job for themselves.
I wouldn't really agree with any of that.
There are many hard-working MPs who do a lot for their constituencies and who do make a difference for the people they represent.
They may not be as vocal, media savvy and headline grabbing as some, but I'd rather have a quietly effective MP than one who regul-arly makes the front pages but doesn't actually achieve very much.
Carlisle MP John Stevenson is trying to whip up support for the idea of Britain pulling out of Europe.
He wants people to sign his online petition calling on the Govern-ment to hold a referendum on withdrawal.
At a time of recession, soaring food and fuel bills and less work, I think most of us have bigger and more immediate issues to bother with.
If he wants to stir up some interest in politics, he could ask people to call for a change in the voting age.
More worrying than whether we should be in Europe or not is the idea that voting, like listening to vinyl, smoking pipes and finding Countdown entertaining, is something that old people do.
Young people just aren't bothered.
But maybe, if we followed the lead of the Scottish devolution vote and allowed 16 and 17-year-olds the vote, it would inject some life and interest into our elections.
Perhaps it would encourage our political parties to inject some colour and enthusiasm into their campaigns.
They would certainly pay more attention to policies such as ever-changing exam systems, tuition fees, the minimum wage, apprenticeships and unpaid work experience
We might get more MPs with genuine ideals, rather than party loyalists.
There's an argument that 16 and 17-year-olds deserve to vote more than those who are 80+.
After all, the elderly may not be around long enough to see the full effects of how they voted, while teenagers will have to live with the results for decades.
Knowing that they will have to live with the consequences of their votes might also make our teens more responsible and socially aware.

Hutchinson Center researchers are unraveling the causes of rheumatoid arthritis and identifying potential new treatments.
Diseases & Research
Hutchinson Center researchers are unraveling the causes of rheumatoid arthritis and identifying potential new treatments.
Investigating what ties arthritis to pregnancy – Dr. Katherine Guthrie and colleagues have found that women who give birth may have a lower risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis than childless women. This protective effect, however, fades over the years after giving birth. This "vaccine like" effect of pregnancy is being investigated further as it could lead to a new strategy for preventing disease. Learn more »
Unraveling the link between jobs and autoimmune disease — Several types of occupations have been linked to systemic autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, which affect multiple organs. Research by Dr. Anneclaire De Roos and colleagues has shown that jobs like nursing and teaching, which expose people to members of the general public, were associated with decreased survival from a systemic autoimmune disease. The researchers suggested that this higher risk may be due to exposure to multiple infectious agents, leading to an autoimmune response. Other occupations, including farming, mining, textile machine operation and logging, also showed an elevated risk of death from systemic autoimmune disease. Learn more »
Understanding rheumatoid arthritis's causes – Our researchers have found that abnormal regulation of two cancer- and infection-fighting proteins may play a key role in destruction of the body's joints, a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis. Dr. Veronika Groh and colleagues discovered that deregulation of this protein pair, known as NKG2D and MIC, may fuel a class of self-destructive immune-system cells that attack the body's cartilage and bone. The findings help to explain why commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory medications provide incomplete relief for rheumatoid arthritis and could lead to improved treatment strategies. Learn more »
Why does pregnancy relive arthritis symptoms? – Pregnancy temporarily relieves rheumatoid arthritis's symptoms but scientisits don't fully understand why. Research led by Dr. J. Lee Nelson focuses on a natural phenomenon called microchimerism, in which certain cells move between mother and fetus, and vice versa. Nelson's lab has found that genetic differences between the fetus and the mother correlated with arthritis improvement during pregnancy. More recently, Nelson's team showed that higher levels of fetal microchimerism correlate with the interruption of arthritis during pregnancy. Learn more »
Future studies in this area could pave the way for new therapies and prevention methods for people with rheumatoid arthritis. Learn more »

Events at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel - Nashville
Lana Del Rey
Friday, May 2, 2014 at 8:00 PM$49.50 & $39.50
Lana's remake of the Disney classic "Once Upon a Dream," which will be on the soundtrack of Disney's upcoming film 'Maleficent' starring Angelina Jolie (in theaters May 30), debuted in a trailer that aired during this year's Grammy Awards and was featured prominently throughout the Academy Awards. Preview "Once Upon a Dream" here.
At the Grammys on January 26, the Cedric Gervais remix of Lana's "Summertime Sadness" won for Best Remixed Recording. Lana's 'Paradise' (Interscope/Polydor) was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and her original song "Young and Beautiful" for Baz Lurhmann's 'The Great Gatsby' soundtrack was nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media.
Del Rey is currently putting the finishing touches on her new album 'ULTRAVIOLENCE' - the follow-up the certified PLATINUM 'Born To Die' (Interscope/Polydor).
2013 was an incredible year for Lana. Highlights include the release of her PLATINUM-certified original song "Young and Beautiful," her Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit "Summertime Sadness (Lana Del Rey Vs. Cedric Gervais Remix)," her "transcendent" (LA Times) 30-minute short film 'Tropico' directed by Anthony Mandler, a sold-out headlining European tour, and a "triumphant" (Billboard) performance at Lollapalooza. Lana was also featured on the cover of NYLON's November issue, which called her an "American icon."


text: The main thread is unusable for many people now and a thread talking about election results seemed to be an okay place to have available for people to chat about election results.I mean, I appreciate that this is a bigger issue, but if new threads are being opened and allowed because an existing thread is too big, I think that should be a bit more explicit. Part of the reason why big threads are good is that they hold in a lot of talk and links that would otherwise spill out everywhere. Saying that all the main run election stuff (actual results and reactions) should go together is great, but any new thread doesn't needfully have the same broadness as the original.

By Kendall Tichner
Mana Contemporary is excited to be housing Joshua Kirsch's interactive pieces Sympathetic Resonance and Oculus. Kirsch is a locally based sculptor whose work can be appreciated by everyone from engineers to musicians. He creates interactive pieces with moving parts and a robotic nature using raw materials, including aluminum, steel, brass, wires and hard wood. Kirsch fabricates intricate structures, often combining these raw materials with LED lights and visible circuitry. His creations are mechanical yet somehow manage to appear delicate and biomimetic. Very often they are interactive which leads to a unique experience for each viewer.
Kirsch says the root of his inspiration is to create work that he would be thrilled to discover. "We see signs at the museum that say 'don't touch' or 'stay behind the line,' but that separation keeps people from really enjoying art," he says. "I create work that I myself find fun."
Kirsch's piece, Sympathetic Resonance, takes many forms; Kirsch installs it to morph to its surroundings. The sculpture is entirely site specific. Sympathetic Resonance can be described as a piano with its guts ripped out. Kirsch explodes the piano's innards and systematically places them about the room to create a encircling sculpture that is both visibly and audibly pleasing. I asked Kirsch how the idea for this piece came about and he simply stated,
"I dropped a piece of wood on the floor and it made a enjoyable note… and that planted the seed for the whole thing".
Sympathetic Resonance is made out of African padauk, birch veneer plywood, aluminum, yarn mallets, rotary solenoids, brass, wires, magnets, bootlace, and electronic components. The viewer is invited to stand at the control panel, which takes the form of an aluminum keyboard, and play. Each key hit sends a jolt through an aesthetically pleasing red wire, which triggers a distant mallet to hit a wooden marimba key and produce a pleasant hollow sound. Each of the 56 modules contains a different note, as well as a marimba mallet affixed to a rotary solenoid.
Oculus features 18 metal rods that are spaced equidistant and connected at a central hub. The wheel-like structure is mounted on the wall and has several underlying linear limbs and joints. The viewer is invited to grab the center of the sculpture like a steering wheel and move it in any direction. The movement causes the 18 limbs to synchronously shift and twist in different directions. The sculpture is an enigma because it manages to have a fluid, lifelike motion that is in direct opposition to its steel skeletal nature.
Symphonic Sessions Contest:
Mana Contemporary has combined forces with Artists Wanted to create Symphonic Sessions, a groundbreaking contest. Artist Wanted is a Brooklyn based organization that spots emerging artists and offers them various forms of support and exposure. Sympathetic Resonance is going to be installed mid-February and musicians of any genre are invited to schedule a time to come into Mana Contemporary and engulf themselves in the spindly instrument and make music.
Mana Contemporary will be setting up premium recording equipment, for both visual and audio components. Once recorded, the musician can upload the piece directly onto Artists Wanted Page. Once entered, the musician has a chance to win a conglomeration of wonderful prizes and will get plenty of exposure. Keep checking both Mana Contemporary and Artists Wanted's social media for new footage, and schedule your time to come in and test it out.

Gait Analysis In Pediatric Patients With Flatfoot
- Volume 26 - Issue 2 - February 2013
- 10444 reads
- 0 comments
Identification of a significant forefoot varus in young children is important. However, we are not necessarily treating it but just monitoring the condition. The general rule of forefoot varus is that the child loses about 2 degrees of forefoot varus every year up until about the age of 6. At birth, if you were able to measure it, 12 to 15 degrees of forefoot varus is average with derotation of the varus ideally completed by the age of 6 or 7. Compensation for a forefoot varus requires calcaneal eversion beyond vertical. Forefoot varus conditions are very destructive at an early age and result in severe hyperpronation. Any residual forefoot varus after the age of 7 or 8 may need specific orthotic correction/posting, either intrinsic or extrinsic.
In regard to rearfoot alignment, normal development begins with a typical 1-year-old child having about 6 degrees of calcaneal eversion. Calcaneal eversion should resolve by approximately 1 degree every year up until about the age of 7. A 2-year-old should have about 5 degrees of eversion, a 3-year-old has 4 degrees, etc. By the age of 6 or 7, the child should have a fairly neutral foot alignment with the calcaneus close to vertical. Any calcaneal alignment deviating by 4 degrees or more from vertical at this age may be a significant problem and one should treat it.
Muscle strength and function can be compromised based on foot type. Hypermobile flat feet are perpetually mobile adaptors and are typically unable to lock the midtarsal joint in a timely fashion to prepare for the propulsive phase of gait. This unstable foundation makes it very challenging to develop lower extremity stability and, in turn, core trunk strength. Just imagine walking barefoot in the soft sand of a beach all day. It takes a lot of work and is rather exhausting.
We also need to keep in mind the genetic component of foot types. We can inherit our underlying foot structure much like we may inherit our eye and hair color among other things. When treating pediatric patients, question the parents about their feet, siblings' feet, grandparents' feet, etc. It should be of no surprise to see patterns quickly develop. This always leads to more referrals.
Postural assessment above the foot is no less important than the actual foot assessment. We would be doing a disservice to our patients if we did not pay close attention to the upper kinetic chain. We need to understand the difference between structural and functional asymmetries, functional versus structural leg length discrepancies, and recognizing how the foot type can affect a patient's center of gravity. As we all know, there are many factors to consider when assessing leg length such as pelvic obliquities/torsions, scoliosis, foot disparities, etc. I am a firm believer that as much as 80 percent of limb length disparities are functional, not structural.
Dispensing a heel lift should take careful consideration, particularly if a foot disparity is present. Equalizing the feet from left to right with foot orthoses as well as physical therapy to address muscle imbalances will often reduce or correct most "apparent" limb length disparities. When I do dispense a heel lift with foot orthoses, I usually provide it as a detached heel lift so patients may easily remove it from shoes.
A Protocol For First-Time Evaluation Of The Pediatric Patient
Accordingly, when evaluating a patient for the first time, there are several factors one needs to examine. First, I obtain an extensive patient history. I find out about the patient's medical history, family history, chief podiatric complaints, interests/activities and his or her overall well-being.

Does washing Ziploc bags save money?
Yes, but is it really worth your time? Here's what an experiment shows.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Mal writes in:
I loved your post about how little you save by not flushing. You should do the same thing about your favorite bugaboo, rewashing Ziploc bags!
Rewashing Ziploc sandwich bags is something that I've joked about being a frugality "step too far" since the first days of The Simple Dollar. In March 2009, I prepared a post on this very topic, intending to present it in a very tongue-in-cheek fashion on April 1, 2009, but I never got around to posting it. Why? It read too close to being serious, as though I were strongly advocating rewashing Ziploc sandwich bags as a method to become a millionaire. (I do, in fact, rewash those large, ultra-durable gallon-sized Ziploc freezer bags.)
However, I did do some real research into the topic to find out how much a person could actually save by rewashing Ziploc sandwich bags. Here's what I learned.
First of all, based on experiments in our own dishwasher, you can wash and reuse a single Ziploc sandwich bag seven times, for a total of eight uses, on average. I tested this by seeing whether the sandwich bag would hold liquid after a thorough cleaning. I tried several bags, with use counts ranging from two uses up to one bag that managed 19 uses. The average, however, was eight uses per bag.
I also timed how long it took to handle each individual bag to properly clean and dry it. In order to get it clean and also get it appropriately dry, you have to pre-rinse the bag a bit, then carefully spread it across as many dishwasher tines as it will fit around. With some practice, I was able to get this procedure down to about 20 seconds a bag.
How much water and detergent is used to wash a bag? I could fit eight bags on the top rack of our dishwasher. According to my calculations, the cost to run a full load is 15.6 cents worth of detergent and water. This means each bag uses 0.9 cents' worth of detergent and water to get clean.
How much do such Ziploc sandwich bags cost? You can get 500 Ziploc sandwich bags for $8.38 at my local Sam's Club. This calculates out to a price of -- get this -- 1.7 cents per bag.
It's not going to be good, is it? Let's run the calculations and figure out the savings.
Over eight uses of a Ziploc sandwich bag, you can either buy eight new ones at a cost of 1.7 cents per bag, for a total cost of 13.6 cents, or you can use one bag (cost: 1.7 cents), wash it seven times (cost: 0.9 cent per wash for a total of 6.3 cents), giving a total cost of 8 cents, and spend two minutes and 20 seconds rinsing and positioning the bags so that they actually get clean.
You could repeat all of this 25.7 times in an hour, so let's look at the final math.
You could either use 206 new Ziploc sandwich bags at a cost of $3.50 or you could use 26 new sandwich bags at a cost of 44 cents, wash each one seven times in the dishwasher (at a cost of 0.9 cent per wash, a total of $1.64), and spend an hour doing it.
Your total savings for an hour of washing Ziploc sandwich bags is $1.42.
That, to me, is not worth it. Given the multitude of things a person can do for an hour to earn a return better than $1.42, to spend your time washing Ziploc sandwich bags just to save that small amount is a true waste of time.
- Calculator: How much can you really save?
Sure, a person with strong environmental beliefs might choose to do so. Of course, if you have strong environmental standards, why are you using Ziplocs in the first place? Use some heavy-duty reusable containers.
The moral of the story is this: Washing Ziploc sandwich bags is not an effective use of your time. It's an activity that earns $1.42 per hour of nonstop baggie washing. That's simply not worth it.

Recently, Facebook announced that it has a new way to recognize your face in photos without your permission. This feature could get a lot people in trouble who get caught in embarrassing pictures and raises issues of privacy rights.
Now, with the acquisition of facial-recognition startup, "Face-dot-com," Facebook may soon make it easier for mobile phone users to tag people.
But there is a way that you can keep Facebook from recognizing your face.
First log onto Facebook and select Privacy Settings. Click on "timeline and tagging" and choose the last option: "who sees tag suggestions when photos that look like you are uploaded." From the drop down menu, choose "No One." On a mobile device, the process is similar.
Even though it takes a few extra steps to opt out from this feature, it's the best way to stop others from being able to tag you in pictures.

Liberty Hall Receives Grant to Restore 1882 Carriage House
UNION, NJ - Liberty Hall Museum at Kean University was one of 12 historic sites in Union County to receive funds under the matching $550,000 Preserve Union County grants. Funded through the Union County Open Space, Recreation and Historic Preservation Trust Fund, the awards were announced at a recent Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders meeting hosted by Liberty Hall.
"We are grateful to Union County for its support," said Bill Schroh, Jr., Liberty Halls director of operations. "The grant will aid us in our ongoing effort to make Liberty Hall one of the premiere historic sites in New Jersey." Liberty Hall was awarded $60,000 to help restore and repair its 1882 Carriage House.
With the original Victorian-style architecture still intact, the Carriage House is a two-story brick structure with an extraordinary slate roof, a central brick tower and brick-arched windows and doors.
The restoration is expected to begin in spring 2010 and will include the repointing of the buildings brick, roof repairs and the replacement of sheathing, deteriorated framing and other building elements. Today, the first floor of the Carriage House is open to the public and is used for school programs, family activities, wedding receptions, cocktail parties, meetings, university lectures, corporate outings and a variety of other activities.
"Our long-term plan is to restore the stable and the second floor of the facility, making it one of the most unique spaces in the region," said Schroh.
Liberty Hall Museum at Kean University chronicles more than 200 years of American history. Built in 1772 by William Livingston, New Jerseys first elected governor, the Victorian style mansion is a treasure trove of historic riches. Along with forgotten letters from Thomas Jefferson, Liberty Hall also houses extensive collections of antique furniture, ceramics, textiles, toys and tools owned by seven generations of the Livingston and Kean families. The Firehouse is the latest addition to the Museums complex housing two antique fire engines and a collection of fire memorabilia.
Liberty Hall is located at 1003 Morris Avenue in Union, New Jersey. It is open to the public Wednesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and noon to 4 p.m. on Sundays. For more information or to make reservations, call (908) 527-0400, e-mail email@example.com or visit www.kean.edu/libertyhall.

The Contemplative Studies Initiative is a group of Brown faculty with diverse academic specializations who are united around a common interest in studying the underlying philosophy, psychology, and phenomenology of contemplative experience, across time, cultures and traditions.
We have developed a multidisciplinary curriculum of courses in three major areas of Contemplative Studies: Sciences, Humanities, and the Creative Arts. Many of these courses follow the principles of Integrated Contemplative Pedagogy, a teaching method that combines traditional third-person academic approaches with critical first-person approaches. Students who wish to create their concentration in Contemplative Studies take a group of core courses as they pursue a focused program of study in one of these three areas through an Independent Concentration .
The Contemplative Studies Initiative also pursues an active program of contemplative scientific research through the Clinical and Affective Neuroscience Lab, the Translational Neuroscience Lab, and the Laboratory for Clinical and Perceptual Learning. Student lab members present their research in a bi-annual research symposium, and publish scientific articles of their work.
Happening Now...
We are pleased to announce 2 opportunites for contemplative study for summer 2014. Please click on the links below for more information
1) Summer 2014 Contemplative Practice Grants (available to Brown Arts & Sciences students)

Ferrous scrap trade proved to be challenging this year in China as prices remained under pressure, having fallen for almost three quarters of the year.
A fresh U.S. bulk ferrous scrap sale to Turkey has left the market uncertain about future pricing trends as the sale was concluded at the same level as last week.
Scrap lead battery tags were stable this week amid steady demand and supply, although further price drops could force more units into the export market, traders said.
Sims Metal Management Ltd. (SimsMM) has revised its earnings forecast for the first half of its fiscal year, indicating a further decline.
The Automotive Recyclers Association (ARA) has set up a satellite office in Washington to enable its staff to continue its advocacy efforts in between meetings in the nation's capital.

U.S. East Coast bulk scrap prices to Turkey rose for the second consecutive day Friday after fresh sales were concluded at some $7 per tonne above Thursday's levels.
West Coast bulk ferrous scrap export prices shed a few dollars this past week after exporters concluded several deals with Asian mills.
Free-market mill-grade aluminum scrap prices eased slightly Thursday, with several major consumers reportedly sitting out the market for the rest of 2012.
Nonferrous scrap metals recyclers are bracing for even higher trucking freight rates in 2013, with one California-based recycler predicting that it will force more scrap from his state into the export market.
U.S. bulk export tags to Turkey gained momentum this week after East Coast exporters concluded new sales at slightly higher price levels.
Are you stocking more inventory today than 18 months ago?

Event Details
Date: November 27 - November 28, 2012
Times: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Location: Siverson Lounge
Ticket Info: No appointments are necessary. The registration takes about 20 minutes involves filling out a confidential registration and consent form, then submitting a painless cheek swab.
Augustana will host a Be The Match® registry drive for potential bone marrow donors from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 28, and Thursday, Nov. 29, in the Siverson Lounge.
No appointments are necessary and it takes only 20 minutes to join the registry, which involves filling out a confidential registration and consent form, then submitting a painless cheek swab. Donors between the ages of 18 to 60 who meet health guidelines are encouraged to participate, especially racially or ethnically diverse donors. Doctors choose registry members ages 18-44 more than 90 percent of the time. Those between the ages of 45 and 60 who want to join the registry are welcome to do so online with a $100 tax-deductible payment.
Be The Match® offers the unique opportunity to give a life-saving marrow transplant to someone in need. Thousands of patients with leukemia or other life-threatening disease depend on the Registry, the largest and most diverse registry in the world, to find a life-saving donor.
Currently, 70 percent of patients in need of a marrow transplant do not have a matching donor in their family.
Read and watch the story from KELO-TV on Augustana President Rob Oliver's decision to join the registry.

India's security services eye Google and Skype
Posted: 09/01/10 06:00 AM
Blackberry has cut a deal with security officials in India, allowing them access e-mail and data sent using BlackBerry's network. But the Indian government isn't done yet. It's now applying pressure to some other high-tech players.
Indian officials say they're exploring ways to track the contents of conversations on Google's video chat service and on Skype.
This spat is just the latest international dispute over internet privacy.
We speak with Fred Cate, a law professor at Indiana University who specializes in privacy and security, to understand what - if anything - security services gain when they try to mine massive amounts of information in search of terrorists.

Skype exec leaves after a month, blog comments to blame
by John Moe // Posted: 08/19/10 11:36 AM
In a weird story about the messenger becoming the message, Madhu Yarlagadda has left Skype after only a month on the job as Chief Development Officer, and just as the company is trying to go public. It's Silicon Valley executive gossip, sure, but there's something more going on here. When his hiring for the job was originally announced on the tech site Tech Crunch, a slew of negative comments appeared by people who had worked with him previously, most recently at Yahoo. Tech Crunch writes about the situation here. It seems the comments, many of which Tech Crunch says it removed, prompted Yarlagadda to contact former colleagues and ask them to write positive comments on him in the same space. But instead, some of those contacted merely commented that he contacted them and then they ripped him too. The lesson: BE NICE TO EVERYONE YOU WORK WITH ALL THE TIME FOREVER.

today's show
What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

Clay Walker – Fall
Produced by Keith Stegall and Jim Ritchie this is a step up for Clay Walker. Released in April, 2007 Fall and is the Texans eighth album.
Alan Jackson's loss has definitely turned into Walkers gain in this album as Keith Stegall and Clay seem to work very well together if this album is anything to go by. Deeper lyrics are evident from the Honky Tonk style we are used to from this lively country artist – and that's not to say you don't get any Honky Tonk 'cause we do and that is evident in Workin' Man and Average Joe.
This album contains a little more thought. Songs like Fall, You're My Witness and It Ain't Pretty are well written hits. This is pure country charm all wrapped up in a CD.
You won't be disappointed.
Track Listing
- 'Fore She Was Mama
- Fall
- Workin' Man
- Miami And Me
- She Likes It In The Morning
- Mexico
- You're My Witness
- Average Joe
- It Ain't Pretty (But It's Beautiful)
- Before The Next Teardrop Falls (with Freddy Fender)

I know I ovulated on November 21st, which seems late in the my cycle. I have been feeling exhausted, some back pain, very cranky and weepy at times. I took a test last night...Negative. I took another this morning to make it most accurate and still, negative. But, I am now five days late, which I can't remember when that happened last. Any suggests?

Louisville, KY (WDRB) -- A local family turned to Facebook, asking for help with funeral expenses. They ended up getting more help than they ever expected.
We know very little about the anonymous donor. We know she's a woman who just wanted to help a family in need.
The Langley family of Germantown, Ky. was close, with three brothers and one sister. But when David Langley passed away on St. Patrick's Day from a brain aneurysm, his siblings had a hard time coming up with the funds to pay for his funeral.
"We are a whole and we're not anymore," said Gladys Decker, David Langley's sister. "That bothers me. There were four of us, and now there are three, but we'll be okay."
So they turned to Dan McMahon, known as "Danny Mac." He operates the Germantown Schnitzelburg community Facebook page and owns Danny Mac's Pizza. He posted the family's plea for help.
Instantly, an anonymous donor who doesn't know the family stepped up and paid more than $1,200 for Langley's cremation and other funeral costs.
"She was just touched and felt like nobody needs to be in that position with having to pay for someone's funeral when they don't have the money," said McMahon.
"It means a lot, a whole lot," said Decker. "It just means to all of us, to everyone that knows David... we do what we can and help who we can. But that was a shock to us because we didn't expect that. That was totally unexpected."
The family says Langley had a mental disability and a mind of a 10-year-old, but would get around the city by bus and knew a lot of people.
"He's like a legend in Germantown," Decker said. "Everybody knew him, everybody."
The Baxter Avenue Church pastor also didn't know the family, but heard about their need and donated his church for the memorial service.
On Saturday afternoon, the pews are expected to be packed at the church as people come to remember Langley. The family hopes this kindness spreads, and also plans to pay it forward.
"We believe as Christians we've experienced God's love for us in Christ," said Ben Lairamore, the Baxter Avenue Church pastor. "It's our way to share that and pass that on."
"There's good people out there, wonderful good people out there, and we don't see them everyday," Decker said.
Langley's memorial service and potluck are scheduled for Saturday at 3 p.m. at Baxter Avenue Church.

- Sure thingEdmontonianHeartVIPDined on 9/20/2014Always a pleasure dining at Bistecca. Master Chef Sonny never misses a beat when it comes to taste, presentation and great food! And Maitre d' and Manager Stephane, you always take care of us so well. Thank you! Your are a first class act.Special Features:
- Amazing!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014It was our anniversary dinner and as usual out plans fell through. We found Bistecca through Urbanspoon and made the reservation and 15 mins later we were seated. Everything was amazingly flavorful and tasty. Probably one of out best dinners yet and that included the amazing food and great friendly service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RogersOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/18/2014Good food and service. It was quiet noisy for the first hour! Usually it is quiet!Special Features:
- MehMMMMMMLOVEFOODDined on 9/13/2014I like how you can choose your own charcuterie platter that was great but don't get the tuna it tasted like canned tuna with hot sauce. The veal scaloppini is good but it's always good @ 99% of Italian Resturants. Also tried the chiopion, the Arctic char that was on top was disgusting! Almost in edible and it made everything else very fishy. Overall over priced okish food
- Loved it!FoodieVIPDined on 9/6/2014The service was great, the food was amazing.....would recommend this restaurant to anyone!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding timeLiketheWineDined on 8/31/2014We had a table for two and stayed there for over 3 hours and did not feel rushed. One of the managers was filling in for the servers due to a scheduling mishap and we had the best service we have ever received there. Our food was cooked and presented to perfection and all the drinks and wine we ordered was very delicious. We always go there on special occasions and we will definitely consider going there again.Special Features:
- under staffedroro0709Dined on 8/31/2014Me and my husband picked Bistecca for our anniversary dinner because we love Italian. We were dissapointed in the lack of service. They were noticeably understaffed and service was affected greatly. My pasta dish was good but certainly not up to par with the price. My husband orded the bison steak and he said it serverly needed more spice as it was void of any flavor. I was just expecting a little bit more.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014Food was very salty, appetizers were not hot, waitress was not attentive
- Too slow!fossebaDined on 8/29/2014As mentioned in other reviews, the waiters seem to disappear. It is a bit odd. The food was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BisteccaMichelleDined on 8/29/2014We booked the same day do we got one of the undesirable tables in the house. Very cramped which made it herd to enjoy our food. Thee server was excellent end tried to accommodate us in every respect. The food was ok but I'm not sure I would come back.Special Features:
- ServiceoutalotVIPDined on 8/28/2014We have frequented Bistecca many times, and while the food is excellent, the service this last visit was one of the worst that we have experienced in years in all of our dining out.
- Good VibesspukspukVIPDined on 8/27/2014Im in good hands when at Bistecca, so the service was spot on, with dessert & wine. Nice to find a place where its a charmer at late night...Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/24/2014service was slow and a bit overbearing….. not sure how to explain it.
- romantic night outgood4youDined on 8/24/2014This restaurant is in our books the number one in the city of edmonton. Thanks to the manager and his entire staff.this place is well but together for romance with great food, wine and great service. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedSmileyDined on 8/23/2014One of our group of 4 ordered the special which was "Halibut", it was bland and tasteless. When we asked for salt the waiter gave us a look of disdain and proceeded to grind a large amt of salt onto the plate. We had to ask for water 3 times and our waiter would disappear for long periods of time. The prices at the restaurant are far too high for exceptionally poor service and mediocre food. The gelato they served was at best a medium quality ice cream.
- Tad disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014We have been here a few times before and this time we were disappointed in both a bit in the food, the time it took to receive our food and the service. Appies and entres were "warm" at best. My surf and turf should have been much hotter. My poached halibut was lukewarm and barely seasoned. I understand it's poached - but it should also have some flavor to it. The beef had great flavour, but again warm at best as did the sides accompanying it. The tiramisu was dry and not moist. Total time of service was 3 hours long which is about 1/2 an hour too long. Had a "loud" customer sitting behind our group which was very annoying and disturbing.Special Features:
- Great dinnerBBBBDined on 8/15/2014Friendly and thoughtful service, great food, appropriate time between ordering food, appetizers and main course.Special Features:
- A Gem!LynnVIPDined on 8/14/2014Absolutely a wonderful experience! The food and the service was perfect! We enjoy our meal everytime. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner with friendaOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/13/2014Excellent service and food. We had friends from Ontario. Recommended by my daughterSpecial Features:
- Fine diningOccdinerDined on 8/11/2014We have eaten at Bistecca on several occaiasions. It is fine dining and the prices reflect this. Their steak is always tender, cooked perfectly. and tastes wonderful. This time was a family occaiasion. They had our table ready, service was excellent and they had a child's menu for a very well behaved 4 year old. I loved the unique vegetables served with the dinner. The Caesar salad was very good not doused in dressing. The desserts were excellent.Special Features:
- Very disappointingDinesoutalotDined on 8/10/2014Our server was quick and polite. Our bottle of wine was perfect. Our food? Horrible. Both of our dishes were extremely bland, boring. Our feelings were that we could make a better meal at home. The majority of the food was returned uneaten. A lot of our feelings about the restaurant as a whole are negative. It's quite nice inside but we felt the ambiance was ruined by a few things. First of all, the music. Instead of blending into the background to contribute to the ambiance, it ruined it. It would have been appropriate for a Cuban restaurant, not Bistecca. We were anticipating a fancy meal and evening out. The attire of the servers lends itself to an extremely casual feeling. The corporate logo golf shirts were off putting.
- dinnerlarkin2014Dined on 8/2/2014It is my second time at the restaurant. The staff are friendly. It is a good place to go for a special occasion. It does take a while to get your food however. The food is very , very good and the portions are large. Overall it is a good place to go a few times a year.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodtarabearaDined on 7/30/2014Our experience at Bistecca was very pleasant. Our server was kind and the food was fast and delicious. We will be back.Special Features:
- Had a Wonderful Date nightPartyPantsDined on 7/26/2014The wifey and I haven't been out in a while so we decided to head over to bistecca. The Lamb Shank and Beef Tenderloin were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Green peppercorn sauce was money too. Service throughout the night was very attentive but not smothering. We had a wonder date!!Special Features:
- Always ConsistentEdmontonianHeartVIPDined on 7/26/2014Chef Sunny, did it again! His talents for creative and excellent tasting food shone through again! Thank you Sunny! Thank you Stephane!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Diner4evrDiner4evrDined on 7/22/2014I took out-of-town, long-time friends that I have not visited with for years. We lingered to have our lunch and visit. Excellent food, arrived hot and perfectly seasoned and the service was just right! We will be back!Special Features:
- Favorite!suzyqedmontonDined on 7/16/2014You can always count on Bistecca's for outstanding service and food. It is our go to restaurant. The staff are always so accommodating and make us feel special. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion.Special Features:
- Ringo59Dined on 7/8/2014Went on a Tuesday to celebrate and bday. Server was very friendly but SLOW. I don't mean we were waiting for the kitchen but we were waiting for everything else, water, bread, order to be taken, wine to be served - everything. All the meals were very good as they have been on previous visits. If you are a wine guy (person) check the vintages on their wine as most of the affordable ones are form iffy years.Special Features:
- birthday partyPatecakeDined on 7/5/2014All of us had a wonderful dinner, but unfortunately meal service was too spaced apart. Painfully it took 2 + hours, which was much too long, especially for my 85 year old mother-in-law.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fabulousblsblsDined on 7/3/2014Another wonderful meal and fabulous experience at Bistecca. I'm starting to run out of adjectives to describe my favourite restaurant in the city. We have always had consistently great service, and great food. Highly recommend Bistecca!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DennisVIPDined on 6/27/2014Have eaten here several times and have never had a bad experience with the service or food we have eaten. I would recomend this restaurant to all who enjoy great food (taste and presentation), atmosphere and friendly knowledgeable staff.Special Features:
- Diner4evrDiner4evrDined on 6/12/2014This was my second trip to Bistecca and it was excellent. I took my friends from Vancouver for lunch and they were very impressed. Apparently the Tiramisu was the best these world travellers have tasted. Another good experience for me and friends and we will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Slow service but worth the wait.KellyVIPDined on 5/26/2014It took a very long time for our food to arrive however it was delicious when it did arrive so I guess it was worth the wait.Special Features:
- Good place for special occasionGeezerDined on 5/25/2014We went here for a 70th birthday dinner. The food was very good and the service was fine, but a crying baby in the next booth did affect the ambience (I'm not blaming the baby or the parents; those things happen). We have been here a number of times and it is consistently good but somewhat expensive (especially the wine list).Special Features:
- The following 268 reviews are from the Bistecca Italian Steakhouse & Wine Bar reviews archive.
- Great dining experience!Diner4evrDined on 5/24/2014Our family arrived to celebrate a birthday on a Saturday night. One of the staff opened the door for us, and greeted us with a big cheerful smile and welcome. We were seated in a high-back comfortable booth which we appreciated as we had conversation privacy and no distractions. Our waitress was the best! Our food arrived piping hot and appropriately seasoned. Our desserts all had an appetizing presentation and were so delicious. We will definitely return, and we recommend this classy restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
