TUESDAY, Oct. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Heavy alcohol and marijuana
use puts teenagers at risk for mental deficits that could persist
into adulthood, according to a new study.
The researchers found that teens who had abused alcohol and pot
scored lower than their abstinent peers on tests measuring a wide
range of intellectual abilities.
Robert Thoma, associate professor of psychiatry at the
University of New Mexico School of Medicine, the study's lead
author, said the researchers wanted to see if heavy substance abuse
caused "neuropsychological deficits" in teens similar to those
already shown in adult alcoholics and drug abusers.
"The worry is that kids who start drinking early, and drinking heavily, may be affected for their entire life. The data is just beginning to suggest this is true," said Thoma, a clinical neuropsychologist.
Thoma said the study is "too small to make any pronouncements,"
but is one of the first to show such deficits in teens with
substance abuse problems.
Memory was also negatively affected but only by marijuana, not
alcohol use, the study found.
Teens who did not use alcohol or drugs but had an alcoholic
parent showed deficits on a test measuring "visuospatial ability."
Visuospatial ability is the kind of non-verbal thinking involved in
creative pursuits such as architecture, music or art.
The study, reported online Oct. 19 in
Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, placed 48 teenagers, aged 12 to 18, into three groups: 19 in a substance-abusing study group, 15 healthy non-users in a control group and 14 non-users whose parents had been alcohol abusers. All 19 substance abusers were diagnosed with alcohol addiction or dependency. Twelve were also diagnosed with marijuana dependency.
The study-group teens, who were two years older on average than
the others, reported drinking six to 20 drinks a day during a
three-month period prior to the last time they drank. The more
alcohol consumed, the worse the teens scored on the battery of
tests, especially one measuring executive function.
Executive function includes decision-making, sustaining
attention, planning ahead and other skills teens are in the process
of developing "and will really need as adults," said Thoma.
The study-group teens reported spending 30 percent of the 90
days surveyed drinking heavily. Those who used marijuana recalled
spending 40 percent of that time period smoking marijuana.
"You can imagine how that may affect kids, how important attention and executive function are to developmental tasks," said Thoma. "Kids have to organize themselves, they have to get up early and get to school and sustain their attention to learn some very complicated things."
But Ramani Durvasula said the study might be "comparing apples
to oranges" because "kids who abuse drugs and alcohol are different
from those who don't," and may have other problems their peers do
"When talking about executive function -- control of inhibitions, planning ahead, behavior control -- if these things are already compromised in a child or adolescent, they're going to be more likely to do things like drink," said Durvasula, assistant professor of psychology at the School of Natural and Social Sciences of California State University, Los Angeles.
Noting the large amount of drinking reported by the teens she
cited possible problems in their homes.
"Let's face it, when kids are drinking 13 drinks a day (the study average), there's not a lot of parental supervision going on," said Durvasula.
Thoma acknowledged that the data might suggest that kids who had
poor executive function were more inclined to drink heavily.
"You have the chicken and the egg problem," said Thoma. "Which came first, the low executive function, which could lead to drinking more, or the heavy drinking, which leads to poor executive function?"
Though not "hard and fast," the correlations suggested that
alcohol was the problem, he said, adding, "in science there are
levels of how sure you can be about something."
Durvasula also said the six to 20 drinks a day reported by the
teens was "implausibly high." She recalled a study she did
involving crack-addicted inner-city adult men who only averaged
about eight drinks a day.
"They may have had a reporting problem," said Durvasula, also noting the large number of days the teens said they used drugs and alcohol.
The study did not control for socioeconomic level or education,
both closely associated with the kinds of mental functioning
measured in the study, said Durvasula.
Despite her comments, Durvasula said interventions are needed
"both in the schools, and home-based" for teens who are at risk of
substance abuse.
Thoma said large longitudinal studies could sort out the causes
and effects in drug and alcohol-abusing teens, but noted the
research "remains severely underfunded."

Tempest's Fury

+ Sexual Content
Sex scenes.
Jane's not happy. She's been packed off to England to fight in a war when she'd much rather be snogging Anyan. Unfortunately, Jane's enemies have been busy stirring up some major trouble — the kind that attracts a lot of attention. In other words, they're not making it easy for Jane to get any alone time with the barghest, or to indulge in her penchant for stinky cheese.
Praying she can pull of a Joan of Arc without the whole martyrdom thing, Jane must lead Alfar and halflings alike in a desperate battle to combat an ancient evil. Catapulted into the role of Most Unlikely Hero Ever, Jane also has to fight her own insecurities as well as the doubts of those who don't think she can live up to her new role as Champion.
Along the way, Jane learns that some heroes are born. Some are made. And some are bribed with promises of food and sex.
Bubbly, witty, and libido cranked to eleven, Jane True is my kind of hero. Though I missed reading EYE OF THE TEMPEST, I had no trouble catching up with both Jane and her furry leading man. TEMPEST'S FURY is definitely favorite book of the series, shadowing Jane as she starts a new relationship and saves the world… more or less in that order.
While many urban fantasy heroines find themselves in the position of being heroes, Jane is the first one I've read who has time to anticipate this role being thrust upon her. From axe lessons to rallying the troops, I enjoyed how Jane shoulders this burden. Even better, though the Red and White promise carnage on a global scale, I found dragons spewing fire and eating people easier to read than some of the more creeptacular villains from prior Jane True books. I enjoyed the build up to the big battle oh so much more when the bad guys weren't so over the top evil that I wanted to reach in the pages and throttle them myself. TEMPEST'S FURY's mix of political factions, petty power mongering, and murderous war lords made for a satisfying build up of tension, all the while balanced by Jane's developing relationship. As much as I enjoyed Jane's "hero bootcamp", watching her and Anyan date in a warzone was equally fun. Peeler's pacing of their stolen moments was very well done, neither artificially drawn out nor rushed.
As Anyan was the only character I knew from prior books (having missed Blondie's debut), his relationship with Jane was also the only one I trusted. This decreased the effectiveness of supporting characters, but my fascination with Anyan more than carried the day. And of course, this series doesn't end with TEMPEST'S FURY. The battle against evil will continue in book 6, and Peeler has added a personal twist that will make this battle one of Jane's most difficult. Though this book ends with a cliffhanger, Peeler prepares Jane for her greatest challenge yet.

Gus Mastrapa: "I think the Wii Motion Plus is trying to fulfill the promise that we all expected way, way back when Red Steel [came out]. We wanted one-to-one swordfights; we wanted this really good way to interact with the screens for shooters and stuff. So, maybe it's an attempt to fulfill that, but I don't even know if anyone's going to try to fulfill that in a new game. We know where the money is in a Wii game, and it's not in creating an awesome one-to-one swordfight."

Recognizing that ending the war in Iraq is critical to our nation's security and foreign policy, Darcy Burner and at least a dozen other Democratic congressional candidates have signaled their support for a comprehensive approach to foreign policy that would put us back on the right track.
From a policy standpoint, it is clear, comprehensive, and reality-based. Implementing this platform would do a great deal to improve our nation's security, as well as its military and intelligence structures. It also has plenty of endorsements (and input) from credible military and foreign policy professionals.
The plan, which is impressively detailed, boils down to a handful of major points:
- End US Military Action in Iraq
- Use US diplomatic power
- Address humanitarian concerns
- Restore our Constitution
- Restore our military
- Create a new, US-centered energy policy
All vital, and all elements that are being dangerously overlooked by most Republicans this cycle. Do go check it out in full, it's excellent, and I'd encourage anybody who lives in a competitive district this cycle to ask your candidate(s) to support the plan.
On a more personal note, I had the opportunity to talk with Ms. Burner extensively late last month, and she's one of the more impressive individuals I've ever met. She knows her stuff on a variety of issues, has incredible intellectual curiosity, and she struck me as having a tremendous combination of toughness and warmth. I'm certainly looking forward to having her in Congress, and it's to her great credit that she's been instrumental in getting the Responsible Plan up and running.

I will never be able to look at water lilies the same way, that is after viewing Monet's Water Lilies at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art recently. Granted, the Kansas City gallery is fortunate to house one of the triptychs by Claude Monet as part of their regular museum collection. However, for the first time in 30 years, all three panels were brought together for a limited time to be viewed as a single piece as the artist intended.
Banned book Week is later this month (September 24 – October 1).
Hello, Dear Readers! 'Tis September, when the kids are settling into the routine of school and assignments and homework: math, science, reading and history. My display table this month features mythology, a subject I've always wanted to learn more about, and which I felt might catch the interest of both children and adults.
We have a new display at the Blue Springs North Branch! We have many popular tables such as our "Staff Picks" and "Most Requested Authors". We are constantly refilling them because they go so fast, and you can always guarantee a good read off of one of them. Our new table will be "Recently Returned" items. We thought you might be interested in the good reads everyone else is checking out. You can find the display located close to the check-in desk. Enjoy!

Come check out Smithville's annual Veteran's Salute display. This year features several panels that detail the events surrounding Pearl Harbor. The display is a lead-in to the Veteran's Salute celebration held at the Platte City Branch on October 22. Mark your calendar for that event which includes vintage military vehicles, a USO show, and veteran's roundtable discussions.
As the temperatures begin to dip, my thoughts turn to those who will be most affected by the oncoming winter. Across the nation, small and large cities are being forced to close their doors to the homeless because of the drastic change in our economy. State budgets have been cut severely since 2008, and already, many states have projected shortages for the fiscal year 2012, a sum of more than $86 billion, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The Missouri Building Block award is presented annually to the author and illustrator of the picture book voted most popular by children not yet in 1st grade. Each year, 10 books are nominated. In order to be eligible to vote, children must read or listen to at least five of the nominated books. Ballots are available at the circulation desk. Voting will continue through December 31st; however, we ask that children vote only once.
The MCPL Weston Branch is using their expansive display areas as an art gallery for some very important artists. During the school year, we will be displaying West Platte Elementary art projects on a rotating basis. Thanks to the cooperation of the art teacher, Peggy Bennett, the library will be supplied with color and fun. Right now we are showing art from the 3rd Graders and more art is waiting in the wings.
Stop by and take a look at these masterpieces. Who knows, there may be a Rembrandt in the making.

Call me, Megan. Ridiculous pan kid. British short-arse.I go to Cardiff University and I study Philosophy and English. I am a 20 year old cis girl. Her/she pronouns please. I have curly hair and sludgy eyes. Cacti, whiskey, knitting, Margaritas, and tea are my favourite things. I've given up listing fandoms, it's just a bit of this, bit of that.
It was moments like this that Dean loved. The warm, fuzzy feelings he got after he Cas made love. It was that sense of completeness that let him know that Cas was the One. That, and how damn good his Cas looked wearing nothing but his old, worn leather jacket.
What could he say, he was an addict. There was no place he'd rather be than in Sammy Winchester's dreams. Gabriel had no idea why they filled him with such serenity, maybe it was because of the lack of reality. Probably because he could be close to his Sam.
Michael kept seeing Lucifer's face from when he threw him from Heaven. He was immersed in self-pity when one of his youngest brothers tugged his robe. Looking up, he came face to face with blue eyes and scruffy black hair. The little Angel smiled, before hugging his big brother tight.
Dean gasped and tightly squeezed his eyes shut at the feeling of Sam swirling his tongue over his anti-possession tattoo. He ached to pleasure his love back, but Sam had tied his hands to the bedpost. Suddenly, he felt his world spin apart, keeping only Sam as his anchor.
The chant of 'please not be real' repeated itself in Castiel's mind before Dean slammed his fist into his already bloodied cheek. One of Lucifer's tortures. It left Cas sick for hours to see that disgusted look on Dean's face. But he'd endure anything to see his lover's face again.
Dean was left alone in the motel room. He didn't know what to with himself anymore. He knew his feelings of depression were rubbing off on Sammy, and didn't blame him for going into town. He'd leave too if he could. Anything to forget those clear blue eyes he loved.
He was upset. No. He was goddamn fuming. How dare he?! How dare he jump?! That wasn't part of the game. The great Sherlock Holmes couldn't even play his simple game. And he wasn't going to have that. He was going to pay for soiling the name of Jim Mortiary.
So I'm gonna write these little stories that are only going to be 50 words long or less.
Naturally they'll all have homoerotic subtext
The worst thing for Sam was the helplessness. He wanted nothing more than to hold his brother and never let go. He didn't care that the feelings he held for Dean might be wrong. That wasn't stopping him. What was stopping him was how hard Dean was clutching that trench-coat.
Therapist tried to get me to talk about you today. Talking about it will just make it real. Rather those murders you solved, the running round with you, your fantastic moments be some happy fantasy than that day being real. I couldn't bear it.
One more miracle? For me? Please?

The WG Body Passive Terahertz Scanner (WGBPTS) is a passive security body screener that scans individuals covertly without the use of x-rays for concealed contraband and threat objects.
The imaging technology is entirely passive; the images of objects concealed under clothing are formed by detecting terahertz waves naturally emitted by all objects on individuals.
The individuals being scanned anatomical details are not revealed within the mages produced.
Terahertz waves occupy part of the electromagnetic spectrum between radio waves and infra-red (heat). We are all surrounded by terahertz waves; they are naturally emitted by all objects and people.
Similar to infra-red waves, terahertz waves can be used to form images of objects and people.
But like radio waves and unlike infra-red waves, terahertz waves pass through opaque materials such as clothing, packaging and even certain building materials.
The WGBPTS utilises a new terahertz imaging technology using sensitive terahertz wave detectors and compact optics.
This system uses the natural terahertz waves produced by individuals and objects to form images of concealed contraband and threat items without revealing anatomical details of the subject being imaged.

Test Schools, Not Children
Instead of subjecting children to an endless series of tests and grades, we should be testing the schools for how engaged the children are, and how many ah-ha! moments there are in a typical day. In the long-term we should test how durable the learning is (how much 5th grade algebra and trigonometry do you remember?), how much curiosity the graduates retain, and how passionate they are for learning as adults.
Closing Statement from Gever Tulley
People perceive many issues in education today, and it is clear from our conversation (sometimes heated, sometimes brilliant), that any attempt to address one single issue necessarily leaves many unanswered issues. In general, those well served by a traditional education seem to see little problem with continuing the practice, and those who struggled through school embrace the notion of change - not for the sake of change, but for the chance that we might invent something better.
In seeking to change how we assess children, I started this conversation with the suggestion that we switch the focus of assessment to the schools. To many, this seemed to be a naive approach. A few commenters seemed to be saying, "the system can work, we just need to be more targeted with our testing." Many agreed that there was too much testing, but that some testing can actually be beneficial. Others found merit and suggested ways that it be implemented. Some concern was raised regarding the time it would take to know when a school was failing.
Eric Mercer turned the topic around, asking, "An educational system reflects, not creates, the habits and practices of a society. So which is broken?" My immediate thought is that the best way to fix an ailing society starts with fixing education, which seems to echo the sentiments of many commenters who suggested that schools aren't doing a good job of helping students discover what they truly want to do with their lives. Lee Wilkinson's high school experience seemed to be putting up more roadblocks when it could have been paving the way; "The problem as I see it is; I told them back then that this is what I wanted to do with my life and was told to stop day dreaming."
This has been a fascinating conversation, and I thank everyone for joining in. I am doing my small part to explore new ways to create meaningful education through Tinkering School and my newest project, Brightworks (http://sfbrightworks.org). All my best,

Feb 25 2011: I'm 20y old and in the 7th grade I wasn´t aproved to the 8th grade, at that time I remember not having "happy" days in school, all I used to do was wrinting stuff that were on the blackboard and no interaction with teachers and all the material besides the black board were like a world map of the 60's and documentaries of the 80's.
The teachers weren't motivated, they didn't like their jobs and that reflects on the students,
At my second year teacher looked at me like I was a lost case and didn't bother about me and I became a part of a group of "lost cases" where teachers don't look to us and only see an F in my brain..
As my case there were a lot, like 20% of the students that weren't aproved each year, all them get lost in drugs, and thinking that they're ideias didn't worth the effort, for example a big friend of mine wanted to be an Geographer and he wasn't aproved 3 times and he droped out, now he is just a guy addicted to cocaine, alcohol and living with sadness and with a "phobia" to schools.
So, if schools should be tested, I guess yes, but first of all we need give the materials that a school needs to work.

Why is this so complicated?
The way knowledge circulates in the education world is complicated — and here is only a simplified version of reality! This comic represents the traditional model of disseminating knowledge in post-secondary institutions. We chose to focus on McGill as an example of a Quebec university, but all Canadian universities operate within the same paradigm.
What's Copibec? It seems to be at the center of this…
Copibec (like its Canadian equivalent Access Copyright) is an organization that sells educational institutions the right to make paper copies of copyrighted works — books, journal articles, news reports — in exchange for a variety of fees. Quebec universities band together and sign a single agreement with Copibec instead of concluding agreements with individual authors and publishers. Copibec, in principle, redistributes the millions of dollars it receives every year to authors and publishers. In reality, there are serious problems with this model: see for yourself.
How can we work within the traditional model while exploring alternatives to it?
1. Reduce costs. Traditionally, professors give students course materials in coursepack form (rather than as individual handouts, web links, etc). Under the Copibec agreement, this can get expensive. Learn why, and learn how to avoid excessive costs.
2. Use alternative distribution methods. Publishers were great when the Internet wasn't around. Today, better options exist. Universities around the world have created an exciting alternative that allows free access to a wealth of scholarly literature: open access repositories.
3. Understand and take advantage of copyright exceptions. Copyright is not a total prohibition against using copyrighted materials. People, especially in educational institutions, benefit from copyright exceptions. Copyright exceptions give certain people the right to use copyrighted materials for free. These are your rights: understand them.

fast forward 8-10 years, the kid's in 8th grade, being bad, rebelling from his parents. He thinks he'll try smoking, he runs down to the corner store, and asks a homeless guy out front to buy him a pack, hands over his money and the guy asks what kind of cigarette he wants. He says the first thing that came to his mind. Camel, the brand hes associated with cigarettes since the very first time he saw that cartoon on the side of the raod. And so the saga begins....And then... and then... and then a giant bat flew out of my urethra!

Table of Contents
This module allows you to choose how your keyboard works.
There are three tabs in this module.
The actual effect of setting these options depends upon the features provided by your keyboard hardware and the X server on which KDE is running. As an example, you may find that changing the key click volume has no effect because that feature is not available on your system.
- Keyboard model:
Here you can set your keyboard model. This setting is independent of your keyboard layout and refers to the "hardware" model, i.e. the way your keyboard is manufactured. Modern keyboards that come with your computer usually have two extra keys and are referred to as "104-key" models, which is probably what you want if you do not know what kind of keyboard you have.
- NumLock on KDE Startup
You can choose to either always Turn on or Turn off the NumLock when KDE starts, or you can choose to have KDE leave NumLock at whatever it was set to before KDE started up.
- Keyboard Repeat
When this option is turned on, pressing and holding down a key emits the same character repeatedly until the key is released. Pressing and holding the key will have the same effect as pressing it multiple times in succession.
Almost all users will want to have this option enabled, because it makes navigating through documents with the arrow keys significantly easier.
- Delay
This option allows you to set the delay after which a pressed key will start generating keycodes.
- Rate
This option allows you to set the rate at which keycodes are generated while a key is pressed.
- Key click volume
If supported, this option allows you to hear audible clicks from your computer's speakers when you press the keys on your keyboard. In essence, this simulates the "click" of a mechanical type-writer. You can change the loudness of the key click feedback by dragging the slider button. Setting the volume to 0% by moving the slider to the left turns off the key click.
Type some characters into the Test area text box to verify the volume you selected.
Many computers won't support this function.
Very few people would choose to enable this option, since it generally annoys everyone else in the room. However, if your heart yearns for the pre-soft-key era, this may help you to re-experience the warm sentimentality of days-gone-by.

The Raspberry Almond Crumb Cake is amazing! I made it for Easter and everyone loved it. I added extra raspberry jam to the mixture of jam and cream cheese though. The recipe calls for more cream cheese than jam, but I think my method was way tastier!4/5/2010 09:33:52 AM Report Abuse

Swedish ships brought slaves to Ottoman Empire
Swedish ships took actively part in the slave trade in the Mediterranean during the 18th century. Many of the slaves that were shipped on Swedish vessels were women who risked ending up as sex slaves in Istanbul and other parts of the Ottoman Empire, the daily Dagens Nyheter reports.
"It was a brutal trade with human beings and now we know that also Sweden was a link in that chain. The similarities with the trafficking of today is striking," says Joachim Östlund, researcher at Lund University's History Department.
During his work with a new book on Swedes in North Africa, Joachim Östlund discovered documents showing that Swedish ships at at least during seven occasions carried "negroes" on board, as they left the harbour in Tripoli in today's Libya. The information was found in old shipping registers which were found at the Swedish consulate in Tripoli. The documents have been kept there for over 250 years. (via Radio Sweden)

Supra Jim Greco Thunder Low Collection
October 16th, 2011 by Aaron Hope | No comments
As we saw this summer with their seemingly endless variety of color-coordinated and theme-centered packs, once Supra gets started with a series, there's no stopping them until the job is finished. Their latest collection is issued in honor of a guy who has been with the crown brand for as long as anyone else this side of Chad Muska, his Suprano Hi pro model one of the brand's early staples. The Supra Thunder Low Jim Greco collection signifies that, while we've seen with our own eyes that the Suprano has been AWOL for some time, that you can consider the Thunder fully Greco's own. The Thunder has a timeless appeal owing to its simple design and these two burgundy full grain leather and grey suede pairs are sure to satisfy when you grab a pair from select Supra stockists.

Teaware: the Gaiwan
The Gaiwan (gài-wǎn, literally lid bowl) is perhaps the most versatile piece of teaware. It can be used as a teapot, a taster's mug, or in place of a tea cup. The optimum material for it is porcelain. They come in various designs and a huge range in prices, from very affordable mass produced ones to one-of-a-kind artist pieces. It might have been invented as a tea tool in the 9th century but the present day form got popular only after the 16th century.
Using a Gaiwan
Because of its simple shape with a wide opening and no undercuts in the interior, the gaiwan is easy to clean and slick to use, once you get used to it. When it holds a small amount of leaves as in conventional tea making approaches, the wide, inverted bell shape facilitates convection of the water inside for optimal infusion effects. Better yet, its openness enables it to hold large amount of leaves, even bulky ones, easily so that those prefer the gongfu approach have it as a staple tool.
Choosing a Gaiwan: Sizes and Shapes
There are quite a range of sizes and shapes. My recommendation is based on functionality and versatility. Disregard my opinion if you want to buy them for fun or collection purposes.
The ergonomics and heat physics of the shape is considered for how the ware can be used both as an effective tea infusion tool as well as a cup to drink from.

Migrants are deported to Guatemala
The mood was somber in Arizona as deportees filed up the stairs to the plane that would take them back to Guatemala. I remember a woman crossing herself as she looked up at the plane. Later I learned it was the first flight she'd ever taken.
Migrants deportation from Carlos Barria on Vimeo.
Most of the migrants I talked to had crossed the border into the United States on foot. One woman told me of being abandoned by a 'coyote' during the crossing after she injured herself. She said she had wandered for two days before U.S. border agents found her, dehydrated and weak. She also told me how one of the agents had cleaned and bandaged her feet– a kindness that clearly moved her.
When the plane landed in Guatemala, the deportees let out a subdued cheer and smiled nervously. It was a journey that would reunite them with families, even if it meant the end of a dream to get ahead in the United States. For others, it was a setback. Several told me they would try to run the border again.
Carlos, a great multimedia piece that told a story rarely shown in the press. I like the way the black and white pictures helped illustrate the danger involved in smuggling oneself into the United States. Looking forward to seeing more work like this.RegardsJason
excellent coverage, thank you

Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference gets under way in San Francisco this week.
Mobile Today expects a new Apple iPhone with minor improvements to be announced today. The updated device is rumored to have better battery life, an improved camera, faster processing speed, more memory, Bluetooth support and Apple's new 3.0 software.
According to the San Jose Mercury News, iPhone fanboys are going to be disappointed. Several analysts are predicting Apple won't unveil a new iPhone at the software-centric conference. That's not to say that the analysts will be right. Apple has disclosed that it will talk about its upcoming iPhone software update and operating system.

Midday updatePosted on September 23rd, 2009 – 12:05 PM
By La Velle
I checked in with Denard Span after last night's game. He was able to get some running in before the game and felt he was slowly coming around after being beaned on Monday.
Span said there were times during Tuesday's game when he felt like he was close to normal. Then he would feel foggy again. He said he was up and down like that throughout the game. So it will be interesting to see how he feels when the clubhouse opens this afternoon.
The Twins could use Span tonight. He's 10-for-20 against Buehrle, including four hits in his last four plate appearances against him.
It wouldn't surprise me if he's out again tonight. Two games off, then an off day. Then fire him out against the Royals.
Cuddyer sizzling
Michael Cuddyer is batting .347 with 5 homers and 17 RBI over his past 13 games. But his numbers against White Sox lefty John Danks are – to steal a phrase from a bad movie – mind-bottling.
He's batting .533 with 5 homers and 11 RBI against Danks with a 1.730 on base-plus-slugging percentage. In 30 at-bats!
Danks threw up his arms Tuesday after Cuddyer homered off of him again.
"Cuddyer owns me," Danks said. "I should just walk him every time he comes up. I'm at a loss for words. He's a heck of a player. For whatever reason, those guys got something on me or I just serve up cookies."
Zack Greinke watch
In addition to facing the Twins on Sunday, KC ace Zack Greinke is expected to start for the Royals on Oct. 3, the final regular season game at the Dome. There might be a couple things on the line in that game.
This and that
Matt Tolbert has two career homers, both at U.S. Cellular Field. "Both in the same spot," he said.
Joe Mauer is a .212 hitter against Mark Buehrle, tonight's starter.
Gardy's quote about Francisco Liriano's relief outing: "Joe Mauer said it was the best the ball has come out of his hand in a long time." That suggests that Liriano could start Sunday against the Royals. I made fun of it on my Twitter page when I tweeted that Liriano was trying to make a Vincent Chase-like comeback. But he just might get a chance to emerge from the Medellin stage of his career.
The White Sox are falling apart. Closer Bobby Jenks said yesterday that he popped a calf muscle during pre-game work and is done for the year.
Watching Libya leader Mohmmar Gadhafi's address to the United Nations as I write this. If he didn't have any power, his revisionist history and conspiracy theories would be pretty funny. He talked about the JFK assassination and swine flu, called President Obama his son and tossed the UN charter at someone. You can't make this stuff up….

Scanning the Savanna searches the web for Detroit Lions content each morning and brings it to your fingertips in one easy location.
Former Lions RB Mel Farr believes this year's combination of runners will work for Detroit
Tim Twentyman – DetroitLions.com
It's only natural when Mel Farr watches a Detroit Lions football game that his focus leans a little more towards the run game.
That's understood seeing how Farr was the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year in 1967 and played in two Pro Bowls during his seven seasons as a Lions' running back from 1967 to 1973.
It was obvious from watching Detroit in 2012 that the big play was missing from their rushing attack. Farr, however, thinks the addition of Reggie Bush to the roster will bring that element back into play in 2013.
Matthew Stafford's Contract Extension is a Win-Win for Him and the Detroit Lions
Ty Schalter – Bleacher Report
In the NFL, there's nothing more valuable than a difference-making quarterback.
That was underscored again when the Detroit Lions signed quarterback Matthew Stafford to a three-year, $53 million contract extension. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the total value of his deal over the next five years is now $76.5 million, $43 million of which is guaranteed.
While eight-digit contract values sound enormous to the ears of regular folks, Stafford's contract doesn't blow out the curve. In fact, according to Spotrac.com, the average annual value of the deal doesn't break him into the top five of NFL quarterbacks.
Detroit Lions Playing it Smart With Extension For Matthew Stafford
Dan Parzych – Rant Sports
If there's anything to take away over the last two seasons, it would be Matthew Stafford of the Detroit Lions is clearly one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Now, it appears the Lions are ready to reward Stafford with the type of money that deserves to go to one of the league's top quarterbacks.
NFL Power Rankings: Do the Detroit Lions Have a Top 5 Offense?
Nick Kostora – Yahoo! Contributor Network
The Detroit Lions have the type of offensive potential that has to make fans absolutely salivate with excitement. The star power is clearly in place with Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford and Reggie Bush leading the charge, but is the group ready for primetime?

Love scallops and love lemon, however this sauce way overpowered the scallops. Used Meyer lemons and followed the recipe exactly. Won't make again.
Seared Scallops with Meyer Lemon Beurre Blanc
Photo: Randy Mayor; Styling: Cindy Barr
Ask for "dry" scallops when you make this scallop recipe. This means the scallops haven't soaked in a salty brine and they'll release less moisture in the pan as they cook, making it easier to get a gorgeous golden crust.

2013 Pathways to Sustainability
(page 3 of 9)
Lenox Metals, LLC
To escape the rigor and day-to-day requirements of the business, Hornstein exercises regularly, plays golf and raises money for non-profits and charities he's been close to for many years. His son, David, is an art major attending Kapiolani Community College developing a possible career in computer design, or a fourth-generation metals recycling.
At Lenox Metals, LLC, the vibrant sound of industrial metal being processed rings through the entire three-acre facility. "Music to my ears," says Alan Hornstein, owner and president of the company. Hornstein, the founder of this busy recycling company, remembers the day the business launched back in 1987. "I recall purchasing my first truck and later hiring my first employees," he says. Now, operating for 27 years, the company survived and later thrived. No small task, admits Hornstein, who first began working in his uncle's family-operated recycling company during his summers in New England at the age of 12. A third-generation recycler, his idea was to recreate his Uncle's "green" business model and provide a range of services to utilities, military and government agencies, large and small commercial/industrial customers, hotels and metals demolition companies. A former staff manager of a local utility company, Hornstein learned the value of providing the best customer service regardless of the client. "A successful business model allows us to consistently produce the results our clients expect day-to-day," says Hornstein.
The company's management concept is to provide practical and cost-effective metals recycling service solutions at competitive prices.
In 2008, Lenox Metals, LLC was awarded the Small Business Administration's Exporter of the Year for the City and County of Honolulu. "The award has put us on the map in Hawaii and is shared with all our employees who made it possible," says Hornstein.
Hornstein admits to waking up every morning with great energy and anticipation of the day ahead, knowing that a potential project or metals transaction is imminent.

But for apps to make the opposite leap—from Android to iPhone—is exceedingly uncommon. There are two key reasons why that dichotomy exists: money and simplicity.

Name ONE idea that you think has the potential to make your city/state/country/ 'our world' a better place?
TED has so many different ideas being presented and they are mostly all great. However, ideas applicable to developed countries may not have the same impact on developing or under developed countries. So, which idea according to you will have the most impact on your lives?
Would be great if you could also list your reasons.
Aug 27 2011: When we think of improving any thing... changing any thing...we should become part of it.
When we say a better place, we mean reducing problems and their intensity.
Problems are strongly connected with needs and needs are divided in 2 categories..
1. Basic needs(Food, Clothes, Shelter) 2. Luxurious needs. (need of more than naturally required)
Undoubtedly, we should think of Luxurious needs of people, only when Basic needs of all people in the world are fulfilled.
The prominent point in this analysis is how to resolve problems in satisfying Basic needs.
I believe in improvement starts with the word I. I save electricity, I save water, I save papers and Trees, I vote, I donate for social cause, I live on the way of Truth, I inspire people to follow Truth. And many other good things we can do and we must do!
If I am improved in my home, 10% of my home would be improved. If 100 people are improved in my colony, 10% of the colony will be improved. The same way, if 10 Million people are improved, 10% of the country will be improved.. and eventually If 1 Billion people are improved, 10% of the world would have been improved.
Lastly, I would conclude saying, we should work harder and in quicker way and not just preaching good things.
Because 1 Good action is more important than 1 Billion unimplemented thoughts that are just burning in the minds.
If any comments, please reply.
Jul 28 2011: For anything to happen, we have to first change ourselves.
Being in a country like India, reading news 'bout our great politicians who are corrupt we tend to blame them , but lets remember that, we were the ones who voted for them and elected as our rulers.
we ourselves encourage corruption. we pay more to impress some one, to get our works done at quick pace..we don't follow rules and we think its just 'once'..we take the wrong paths and support by saying that 'its normal..everyone does it..'
this should change. THE ATTITUDE SHOULD CHANGE. If we can change ourselves, forget 'bout everything else, if we follow the right path, YES, WE CAN CHANGE OUR COUNTRY, AND OUR WORLD!
Mike hover
Aug 27 2011: The world doesn't need to be a better place. Earth is a paradise. It is inherently and innately supportive of life. The earth is not alive, it is a host to life. What we need is a more technically efficient world. We need to allocate resources more effectively and efficiently and not let the minuscule rich hoard all of the abundance of the planet. Why after all of these centuries no one has yet come forth for an overall direction to spread the riches and wealth in a graceful way and manner? All I hear is talk of love and kumbaya; basically business as usual.
Aug 26 2011: If everyone starts eating somewhat lesser than they normally would.
if one eats 3 times a day, he can reduce it to 2 times a day
If he eats 2400 calories a day, he can reduce it to 2300 calories a day
if he eats 2 fruits a day, he can reduce it to one per day
THat might give an opportunity for others who does not have anything to eat a chance to eat atleast once a day
Aug 15 2011: In my opinion, each child should be taught and encouraged at an early age (at school or in the community) to maintain and develope a small plot of garden on which he/she can grow his/her favourite vegetable or fruit. and flowers. Not only, will he/she befreind the immediate environment thus gaining a greater understanding of nature, but also develop a sense of creativity and responsiblity. Even a season's growing experience can have life long reprecussions, and as the child grow up , he / she will not only be secure in the knowledge that they are capable of producing their own food in periods of financial crisis but have chosen alternative to the mass production, chemically raised fruit and vegetables, and contribute to their own health as well as that of the planet.
Aug 3 2011: Farm hemp!
Hemp is a low intensity crop. It has a very long tap-root that breaks up the soil for the next crop, therefore fields do not need to be plowed. this saves massive amounts of fuel for the farmer, and slows the run-off of topsoil.
You can grow 8 times the amount of hemp as corn per hectare.
Ethanol alcohol can be made from the fibrous membranes, and bio-diesel can be made from the oils.
All of the fuels to run the farm are made right there ON the farm.
Better quality paper can be made from hemp fibers than wood, and a field of hemp will yield three times as much paper pulp as the same field of trees, and you can get 2 or 3 yields per year from hemp and one yield per 20 years from wood.
Clothing made from hemp is just as soft as cotton, and will wear 2 times as long.
Pain medicines can be extracted from the canabinoids.
Oils can be made from the seeds that are very high in DHEA, Omega3, Omega6, protein, all in the highest concentrations you will find in the plant kingdom.
Lotions and make-up that is made from hemp is very high quality and needs no animal testing.
Laboratory tests have shown hemp oils to cure cancer and improve heart/cardio functioning.
All of the things listed above would take many people to create the products, business' to serve the industries that crop from them and so on...
Aug 2 2011: Get up and get moving. Exercise decreases health care costs, decreases stress, improves work life, improves love life, and will gradually inspire the people around you. Each of those dominoes branches off and tips over a whole series of dominoes in turn. Here's the tricky part: even just a tiny bit. If you do no regular exercise, just do 5 push ups when you roll out of bed. Then grow by taking little baby steps. That's all. That's how it starts.
Jul 29 2011: Cities, states, and countries are made up of societies, which are made up of individuals, of all ages, education, types of health, pursuits, hopes and dreams. I suppose that any message that inspires the collective consciousness to seek Understanding, Meaning and Truth will always succeed, There will be a healthy pursuit of what is rightious, truthfull and benifical, to all. Commencing with a political democracy at its' foundation.
Jul 28 2011: Change the educational system to accomodate fostering creativity aside from intelligence like Sir Ken Robinson suggested.
This is not just about education... by stressing on creativity it focus on what the student like.. passionate about... when what you want and passionate about is channeled.. you WILL BE happy. Happiness brings out the best of people.
Jul 28 2011: I don't think that is the problem.
Teachers... any good teachers will jump to this because they know... when you channel the student's passion you will get the attention. And attention is what teacher fight for days in days out.
The challenge I think, will be how to convince people who benefit from current system... the school... college... courses... counseling... professors... and people who bet on it... industry... gov.. parents.
I guess there's one way to find out now, isn't it ?
Let the work speaks for themselves.

"Sleep Talkin'" - Lizard Kisses
Normally, I know the styles of music I'll like before hearing a song. Every now and then, however, I get one out of left field that just catches my ears in the strangest way possible. Such is the case with Lizard Kisses. A lo-fi duo hailing from Brooklyn, New York, these two are gearing up to self-release their debut nine-song EP, Sleeping In. Check out a track from it called 'Sleep Talkin" above, and if you like what you hear, purchase the album (of which, 40 silk-screened, numbered, and specialized copies were made; cool stuff) here.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Environmental Illness in Children
Topic Overview
Children are more likely than adults to get an environmental illness, because they are still developing. Also, some ways that children behave, such as crawling and putting things in their mouths, can expose them to dangerous substances. Children in urban areas are most affected by environmental illnesses. The prevalence and number of deaths from asthma is highest among poor urban children. Because of their exposure to pollutants, allergens, cigarette smoke, pesticides, lead, and toxins in our environment, research shows that children may be increasingly affected by:
- Asthma. In the past 15 years, the number of children with asthma has more than doubled. Now, more than 7 million children younger than 18 have this disease.1 Each year asthma accounts for about 14 million missed school days.2
- Childhood cancer. From 1975 to 1990, the number of children with cancer increased, but the childhood cancer rate has stayed the same since 1990. Leukemias and central nervous system tumors are the most common types of cancer in children.2
- Developmental disorders. About 17 out of 100 children in the United States have developmental disabilities.3 Some developmental disabilities can be caused by infections or exposure to toxic chemicals before or after birth.
Some environmental factors affecting children's health include:
- Air pollution. Air pollutants found indoors and outdoors may harm the lungs of children and lead to breathing problems, such as asthma. Some substances that might cause problems include pesticides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and ozone.2
- Lead. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 out of 20 children in the United States has elevated levels of lead in his or her blood, which can cause developmental problems. The most common sources of lead are lead-based paint, dust, toy jewelry, and some imported toys.4, 5 In 2007, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) found high lead content in many children's toys and jewelry made in other countries. For a complete list of recalled products, see the CPSC website at www.cpsc.gov.
- Pesticides. There are more than 1,055 substances used as pesticides in the U.S.6 Children can get exposed to pesticides in food, from products used in the house or on yards or parks, and in water. Problems that can be caused by pesticide exposure include skin rashes, nerve damage, and cancer.
Evaluate your home and your child's school for toxic chemicals and other hazards
Parents may be concerned that their children are being exposed to environmental hazards at home and in school. Think about the following questions, and talk to your child's doctor if you are worried your child may be at risk for environmental illnesses:
- What is the condition of your home? Is there peeling leaded paint or mold growth from water damage?
- Are you renovating your home? This could cause exposure to lead paint or other toxic substances.
- How do you heat your home? Are your heating sources properly maintained and vented? Do you use a fireplace or woodstove? Do you use a gas stove for cooking?
- Do you have carbon monoxide and smoke detectors?
