It's winter again, and another respiratory season is on us
We're still not sure how best to treat RSV
Their arguments, of course, are fueled by published studies claiming that each of these modalities is beneficial and an equal number demonstrating that they are not. Although there is still no single and definitive therapy for bronchiolitis, we have learned a great deal about this condition in the past 50 years. Unfortunately, much of what we have learned has led to conclusions about what not to do rather than what we can and should do in managing this very common problem.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests now are available in many laboratories and permit detection of any of 10 or more viruses in a single respiratory specimen in a matter of hours. A recent study from the Netherlands, however, is just one of several such studies demonstrating that identification of a viral pathogen by real time-PCR does not lead to a reduction in hospitalization, shorter hospital stay, or reduced use of antibiotics, even when the results are available in 12 to 36 hours.1
Will today's pediatric residents practice in a time when bronchiolitis can be prevented as effectively as we now prevent measles, or will some future therapy effectively treat its symptoms? Perhaps. But for this winter, at least, we can teach them the things we've learned not to do.

Evidence for prenatal origins of autism, study finds
Children with autism have more brain cells and heavier brains compared with typically developing children, according to a preliminary study.
Magnetic field exposure during pregnancy linked to asthma
New epidemiologic evidence indicates that high levels of exposure during pregnancy to magnetic fields, including those produced by wireless devices as well as by traditional power lines and appliances, may increase the risk of asthma in offspring.
Recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease leads to chronic pelvic pain in teens
Recurring episodes of pelvic inflammatory disease significantly contribute to reproductive health morbidity in women, and adolescents are especially vulnerable.
New treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
The US FDA has approved asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi to treat patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are allergic to Escherichia coli-delivered asparaginase or pegaspargase chemotherapy drugs.
Why don't all patients with asthma respond to glucocorticoid therapy?
Response to glucocorticoid asthma treatment varies widely among patients, and up to 40% have no response at all.

All chips and dips are not created equal! In this video, Hungry Girl author Lisa Lillien talks about the healthiest types of chips and dips.

All chips and dips are not created equal! In this video, Hungry Girl author Lisa Lillien talks about the healthiest types of chips and dips.
Hot air popcorn without added salt is a whole grain, high in fiber and low in sodium and calories.
Corn tortillas, wedged and baked, also are whole grain and low in sodium and calories. Homemade salsa made with raw or no added salt tomatoes, fresh cilantro, green peppers, onion and garlic is a low sodium, vitamin C rich accompaniment.
Portioned amounts of baked Tostados and commercial salsas have more nutrients than chips and dip.
When we're in a nibbly mood and ready to watch our favorite TV show, what often comes to mind are potato chips, tortilla chips or bagel crisps that satisfy the salt and fat we're hungry for.
But just 1 oz. which is about 11 chips or crisps can contain about 155 calories and 10 grams of fat including saturated fat. When was the last time you only ate 11 chips?
Let me give you an alternative. My favorite snack is to slice a whole tortilla, pita or bagel into 6 wedges or slices, sprinkle with your favorite seasoning such as garlic powder, cayenne or parmesan cheese and spray with some vegetable oil. Bake in a 400 F oven for about 10 minutes just until crisp. The fat is reduced by 50% and there is virtually no saturated fat. The sodium is controlled as well when you bake your own.
Make a large batch and store in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
Great to enjoy while watching "The Biggest Loser"!
A healthy dip option is this red bell pepper hummus recipe:
The addition of roasted bell pepper to a hummus dip creates a new flavour and colour. This is not only great as a dip but also as a spread for sandwiches or tortillas.
Roasted red peppers: To roast red peppers, cut the pepper in half lengthwise and remove ribs and seeds. Lay on a foil-covered baking sheet and roast at 425°F for 25 minutes, or just until browned on all sides. Place bell peppers in a covered bowl and let sit for 10 minutes before peeling off the skin. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

They don't really look any different. In fact, Jeff Bridges' hair has never looked better!
HA! Yeah, I've gotten a few reactions that folks didn't really see what I'd done at first glance. My wife even said, "Well, I've seen his hair that thick and wavy, so what's the big deal?"
For my money, it's the small bit of bushy sideburn on Jolie's swapped face that gives it away.

Oh tell me the book is well worth reading, because I shelved it after that interminably boring first part but I'm looking for anyone to tell me it's actually as good and or strange as it's supposed to be.
You make a good point - that first part is tough to get through, but it doesn't last long. You probably know that the narrative spans many different periods of history and extends thousands of years into the future. That first part, which I think takes place in 1850-something, has very little action but lays in place some important elements that will echo throughout the novel. I actually found that the first part was ramping up nicely right when it abruptly ended and time-jumped forward.
But to be clear: I would call the entire novel worth reading, but not life-changing literature. Its ambitious nature and the clever ways it links together the central characters do provide enough forward motion and intrigue. Each era in the book has its own voice, which I found interesting and compelling. Some of the characters are quite well written, although I'm worried that the Wachowskis will give the novel's best part to Halle Berry, which would be a shame.
So, to answer your question more succinctly than those couple hundred words above: It's good. It's strange. It's worth reading.
seltzerlizard replied to your photo: So this happened somewhere along the weekend. …
Did you say anything when you filmed yourself for that gif? It looks like you're mouthing the word 'blue'. Perhaps it was something ruder. :)
It was either "bloop" or "poop" or "the individual is defined only by his relationship to the world and to other individuals; he exists only by transcending himself, and his freedom can be achieved only through the freedom of others. he justifies his existence by a movement which, like freedom, springs from his heart but which leads outside of himself."
It was kind of a strange morning.

Many of you follow the blog of noted education historian Diane Ravitch. She sent me a link today to her most recent blog, which I thought was worth sharing. You can read the original here.
Here is her blog on the failed reform efforts of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg:
From The New York Daily News (owned by billionaire Mort Zuckerman, who also owns U.S. News & World Report) often runs editorials applauding the "reforms" of the Bloomberg administration. Its editorials are anti-union, anti-teacher, and consistently supportive of the policy of closing schools that have low test scores.
But the New York Daily News has excellent reporters who don't follow the editorial line. They just report the news. And the story today is stunning.
The headline summarizes the story: "Bloomberg's New Schools Have Failed Thousands of City Students: Did More Poorly on State Reading Tests than Older Schools with Similar Poverty Rates."
This analysis shows the abject failure of the policy that has been the centerpiece of the Bloomberg reforms for the past decade.
Closing schools and replacing them with new schools is also the centerpiece of the Obama-Duncan "turnaround" strategy.
Here is an excerpt from the news story. Note that the grandmother of a student in Brooklyn makes more sense than the six-figure bureaucrats who run the New York City Department of Education. Tanya King of Brooklyn for Chancellor!
…When The News examined 2012 state reading test scores for 154 public elementary and middle schools that have opened since Mayor Bloomberg took office, nearly 60% had passing rates that were lower than older schools with similar poverty rates.
The new schools also showed poor results in the city's letter-grade rating system, which uses a complicated formula to compare schools with those that have similar demographics.
Of 133 new elementary and middle schools that got letter grades last year, 15% received D's and F's — far more than the city average, where just 10% of schools got the rock-bottom grades.
"It's crazy," said Tanya King, who helped wage a losing battle to save Brooklyn's Academy of Business and Community Development, where her grandson was a student.
The school opened in 2005, then closed in 2012.
Instead of closing struggling schools and replacing them with something else that doesn't work, King says, the city should help with extra resources to save the existing schools.
"You have the same children in the school," she said. "What's going to be the difference? Put in the services that are going to make the school better."
Her grandson Donnovan Hicks, 11, will be transferred next fall for the seventh-grade into another Bloomberg-created school, Brooklyn's Peace Academy, where just 13% passed the state reading exams this spring.

@crankee-yankee, that's true and why it is imperative the parents become the frontline in the battle against these "reform" movements – everyone else is ignored. When all is said and done, Bill Gates, Michelle Rhee, et all, will be responsible for the destruction of the education of our children. I would suggest that all parents and stakeholders to please start educating themselves on this "reform" movement pushed by Gates, Rhee, Pearson, etc.

The standard line of those who question the "reform" movement – it's the fault of the teachers' unions.
July 22nd, 2012
10:35 am
Ms. Ravitch's blog is nonsense. I have already respectfully lambasted her for her ignorance around game-based learning and her attacks on Bill Gates. It is fine to disagree with him on matters of policy, but to continue to steadfastly refuse any outside" help on education reform, is causing irreparable harm to our education system. I am sick and tired of hearing her, and others, say "Why do people listen to him about education? He's not a teacher!" You all need to realize that only way education will be fixed in this country is if "insiders" allow "outsiders" to help them solve the problems in the spirit of collaboration. That's how innovation works – from the "outside-in" not the other way around! Ms. Ravitch likes to say she's a "historian." No, she is not. She is a lobbyist and has become the symbol of the resistance against education reform in America.
You don't believe me? Here's the "nonsense" she wrote on her blog about game-based learning. She cites no research for her conclusions and she should not comment on topics she does not understand. In fact, no should comment on an issue if they are not fully informed.
From Diane's Blog – 7/18/2012
Are you ready? Bill Gates says that game-based learning is the future of education.
He has a dream. A dream of children sitting around and playing games on their computers or their iPads or their Whatevers.
They will be wearing galvanic skin response monitor bracelets, or they will have a little chip in their heads to measure their level of excitement, and they will be excited all the time.
Every classroom–if there are classrooms–will buzz with their excitement. Little and big squeals of sheer joy as they blast off and shoot the intruder or blow away somebody else's avatar or compete to win the most points.
They will be so excited that they won't want to go home. They won't want to read a book.
They will need half a gram of soma to calm down, to become calm enough to leave the classroom of the future where they have spent the entire day in play and gaming.
Just a question: Why does he get to do this to our children? Why doesn't he use his own children as guinea pigs first?
Another question: Why do education leaders listen to him?
July 22nd, 2012
10:36 am
Yet again, this shows that any "reform" measure that does not center around the issue of poverty and the issues that come from children who live in poverty is doomed to fail. Of course there will be some who manage to overcome these problems, but the majority will not. Closing your eyes to these very real issues and making blanket statements like "no excuses" and "all children can learn" does not make these problems disappear. If you don't address the problems head on, you are doomed to fail.

So grandma says schools need "extra resources" LOL. After 30+ years in education both in the USA and other countries here is the only resource that works –education will improve only when parents make it the most important part of the childrens live –Wow how hard is that? You realize that the USA spends nearly double to educate a child today than we did in the 1970's and 80's? Can anyone seriously argue that children are better educated? Education buzz words, new "innovative" strategies , more and more money, yeah that'll work won't it?

It seems to me that the more that federal and state governments try and regulate education, the more our educational system seems to decline. Yet, those that are trying to push through huge reform changes rely on federal and state government to push them on local school systems.

Not a great surprise, really.
And, Rhee's very short and stormy tenure as D.C.'s school chancellor really didn't help her argument.
Reopening schools without addressing the special issues that come with teaching the poor will not fix a damned thing.
But teachers know this.
And, for the person who has to use multiple names to bolster his argument? Keep in mind-GA is without a teacher's union…and unions are not the evil things that they have been made to be.

If anyone believes that the reform movement are in it for the sake of the children (and believe me, the battle cry of it's for the children is truly bogus-it's for the MONEY), they are gravely mistaken. Please take 5 minutes to watch the following link (again posted by Diane Ravitch) and you will see what the reform movement truly cares about-COLD HARD CASH. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY OTHER TEACHERS, PTA MEMBERS, PARENTS, AND OUR LEGISLATURE. HELP TO MAKE IT GO VIRAL!!
Also, thanks Maureen. I stated my concern only the other day about people posting under different names numerous times to make statements and then agree with themselves. They are wolves in sheep's clothing.

These so called "reform" models for schools could work if they also included "reform" formulas that addressed the deficiences and problems of the COMMUNITIES of the low performing schools.
Bloomberg's reform tactics are isolated and futile as proven by the report above. It take an entire village, not a new school, to raise a child.
July 22nd, 2012
12:46 pm
The lesson I take from the report is this: Students who want to learn flock to the new schools, which then perform well. Administrators see this, and for a variety of reasons, send some disruptive and lower IQ students to these higher performing schools, where the performance level drops. The moral of the story is this: Mixing high IQ students who want to learn with lower IQ students (many of whom are disruptive, for a variety of reasons) degrades the performance and accomplishments of all students, especially the performance of the ones who want to learn. We need to find a way to separate the students who want to learn from the ones who do not want to learn, and within the group who wants to learn, divided again by ability (IQ) so each group of willing learners can advance as rapidly as possible. I do not know what the solution is for the group that does not want to learn and is disruptive, perhaps a few months of forced farm labor to assist in providing them with perspective on their futures should their disruptive behavior continue?

@cranky yankee: Those that post under several names also have the audacity to accuse the "union shrills" (of which I'm a proud member) of doing the same thing. Which proves my Grandmother was right, once again. The guilty are always the first to squeal.
July 22nd, 2012
1:08 pm
The best "reform" would be a return to the basics of yesteryear: Discipline in schools and "F"s for those who fail ( and resulting retention). When we got away from these, we lost our education system. Then we try all these "reforms" to accomplish the impossible without addressing the basics.
July 22nd, 2012
1:11 pm
@living in an outdated system: So, if Diane Ravitch is wrong about Bloomberg and NYC schools, what is the reason for the decline in test scores?
July 22nd, 2012
1:15 pm
mountain man, there are high IQ black students, and their learning is disrupted by the lower IQ students just as much as the higher IQ students of other races. I believe much of the disruptive behavior of the lower IQ students is a front or a mask to hide their embarrassment at not being able to keep up with the smarter students, so they stop trying and actively try to slow the progress of the class. The solution is to separate the slower students, regardless of race, from the "smarter" students, and teach the slower students in a way that allows them to learn, and take pride in their accomplishments. Remember, the decline in educational achievement has been mostly at the higher end of the spectrum, due to disruptions in the learning environment, and the dumb-ing down of textbooks. Minimize the disruptions, and return to challenging text books (by IQ level) and achievement will follow an upward trend.
July 22nd, 2012
1:18 pm
Solutions – I believe in "tracking" based on performance, but I don't know of any test that can reliably measure "IQ".
But some of the disruptive behavior has nothing to do with IQ – some very smart kids are the most disruptive – or the most absent from school.

Maureen, I and no doubt many others posting to this blog are forced to use popular "proxy" IP addresses—because of your regular attempts to censor conservative views. It isn't rocket science, and it's therefore no surprise that IP addresses would be duplicated.
My home IP address is blocked by you, as well as my original posting name—though you won't admit it. You also suspend discussion entirely when it suits you.
May I suggest that you and your AJC colleagues would need have fewer "discussions" if you ran a newspaper that reflects the diversity of Georgia opinion?
July 22nd, 2012
1:37 pm
"….the blog tool shows me posters who are posting under different names via the duplicate IP addresses. There are actually only a handful of daily posters who do it, but they do it daily."
Glad to have this confirmed. I have long suspected as much, based upon the "voice" of some posters which are pretty much identical. Same phrases. Same talking points. Same style. (Also same insults directed towards others.) I also suspect they are the very posters who most often accuse fellow posters of posting under multiple names.
@living "You all need to realize that only way education will be fixed in this country is if "insiders" allow "outsiders" to help them solve the problems in the spirit of collaboration."
I am all for collaborating on reforms – the problem isn't that the "insiders" have kept out the "outsiders. It is that the "outsiders" have been imposing their reforms on the "insiders" without ALLOWING for input or collaboration from the "insiders." Many of the problems we are facing in education today have been brought about by "reforms" and mandates placed upon our schools without listening to the legitimate concerns of those in the trenches. Ask any teacher who was teaching when NCLB was passed. We all KNEW it was destined to fail! We voiced our concerns, and were ignored. And now, states are opting out because they realize it does not work. We could have told them that years ago and saved billions in taxpayers funds.

I looked into what was actually going on in New York as part of looking into Cambridge Education and its School Quality Reports that insist the teachers are not supposed to teach content. For those unaware, Fulton County hired Cambridge to audit all its schools in anticipation of that dreadful charter going into effect. Cambridge's 1st work in the US was in NYC where it also told the teachers they could no longer teach the content. I wrote about it here: http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/if-the-system-seeks-to-destroy-the-ability-to-think-can-james-madison-save-us/
Besides the pernicious effects of this UNESCO Quality Assurance template, NYC also suffers from a problem plagueing so many schools in the US. A failure to understand the actual non-common sense meaning of so many of the terms being used. There ends up being a disconnect between the assumed meaning and thus intentions of the reforms and the actual meanings.
NYC parents should probably consult an insider ed Glossary (or mine) on terms like School Improvement, rigorous, and especially Accountability.
Invariably the public and the administrators are working off two different scripts because of these unappreciated differences in actual word meanings.

mountain man, we are pretty much in agreement, I would not forbid children who score low on an IQ test from choosing to take the more difficult courses, but at the same time, they must keep up with the class, we should never slow the progress of the brightest. Rather than slow the "bright" class, just allow the ones who cannot keep up to fail, and return to the lower level class. IQ tests are predictive of performance, and they are highly reproducible, but they should not be used as a barrier to entry, rather they should be used to sort the children into groups so they can learn as well and as rapidly as possible. By permitting any child to choose the more difficult class, we can avoid the claims of discrimination. The child will prosper or fail in the more advanced class based on their own ability and effort.

So the new schools underperform similar existing schools? That's interesting, but how do the new schools compare to those that they replaced? That's the real question. Replacing a school that had nurtured a culture of failure or indifference could still be an improvement, and it might take a little while to overcome the handicap. That said, I'm not surprised. Winning an election doesn't make you smart, but it certainly may inflate your ego, making you *think* that you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Yes, there are many discipline problems in "gifted" classes. Although "solutions" is correct with the idea that some disrupt due to embarrassment, it is much more involved than that. Boredom, different learning styles, broken homes, lack of nutrition, sleep, etc. all have an effect at different times/days. No one response will solve the problem of discipline, just as no one factor is the cause.
IMHO, the path that has lead away from truly "comprehensive" schools is as much to blame as any other factor. Hands-on activities, as found in the "shop" classes of old, were where many students with discipline problems in the "regular" classes would shine. They found a place where they could express the talents they had and would find connections to their core classes. With the movement to a more academy-like environment, those breaks in their day giving them an outlet disappeared.
Some core disciplines have begun to utilize the type activities of the past calling them manipulatives. Nothing new, just a return to good techniques. Some disciplines never lost the activities but had to scale them back due to budget constraints. Consumable supplies are not cheap. You get what you pay for. The rise in discipline issues is an unintended consequence of budget cuts.
I have been wrong in past posts citing $3 billion in education cuts in GA starting in the Purdue administration. I just saw a report that pegs the cuts at about $5.3 billion. Maybe that is adjusted for inflation.

Ten years ago Ravich was on the oppostite side of where she is today. Her truest skill is sensing the trend and sailing in that direction. Somehow she seems to always be on the leading edge. No one should be listening to such an opportunist.

Maureen, I and no doubt many others posting to this blog are forced to use popular "proxy" IP addresses—because of your regular attempts to censor conservative views. It isn't rocket science, and it's therefore no surprise that IP addresses would be duplicated.
I've ragged on Maureen and other AJC writers for everything from their hair to crappy journalism. I've posted all sorts of views from libertarian/conservative to bedwetter liberal. Nobody's ever censored me.
"Forced" to use proxy IP addresses? Honey, get a life. If you're sitting there in your tricorn hat thinking "ooh, I fooled Maureen, I WINZ!!!" you should spend less time here and more time with mental health professionals. If you're invested in the idea of you as the 'Merican resistance to AJC liberal tyranny that's just plain sad.
It's a friggin' blog. You're not Spartacus.

@ EduKtr. I am rather insulted that you have not added me to your group of "teacher union pseudonyms" along with Ron F., Teacher & Mom, Dunwoody Mom, and I love teaching, I hate what it is becoming. I've certainly come out in favor of teachers' unions in past posts.
July 22nd, 2012
2:46 pm
@Teacher & Mom – have you read Ms. Ravitch's blog? It's just a series of rants. She will ALWAYS take one report that helps her POV, and then will make sweeping generalizations based on that ONE report.
Quite frankly, I don't really put my credibility into her perspective, because she's an anachronism. Until she realizes that we need to move from a "teacher-centric" to "student-centric" mindset, she is useless to me. She fails to acknowledge that change is difficult, and there will be bumps along the road. And quite frankly, I could give a _____ about test scores because they mean very little to me, especially multiple choice tests.
July 22nd, 2012
2:49 pm
@I Love Teaching – I have to respectfully disagree with you. If we fixed the system and teachers had the ability to truly innovate in the classroom, things would be different. Instead, we have self interest groups like the teachers unions blocking every single attempt to try and reform public education. I am against the NEA, not against teachers. But with our current system in place, I guess they're pretty much the same thing, which is truly sad.
July 22nd, 2012
2:50 pm
Maureen: Just came across your angry post. Puzzling, but I note you don't address my charge that you are a tool of the teachers' unions.
Out of curiosity—how do you sleep at night, while fighting day after day against parental choice and education reform?
July 22nd, 2012
2:51 pm
Well, I know I don't post under several names. I can't agree with myself from one moment to the next (the curse of learning in grad school how to argue from differing points of view, I guess, or maybe I have some schitzo thing going on!)
"Reform" that is predicated on some "miracle" thought up by someone who hasn't devoted their life to educating children (NOT making money) is just self-serving drivel, no more worthy of consideration than the hairball my cat brings up.
July 22nd, 2012
2:56 pm
@EdKtr "Ron F" and "teacher&mom" (and "Dunwoody Mom"?), by the way, are all from the same source … someone either using proxy IP address or teacher union resources. "
You know, I actually thought you might be legit and have access to the IP addresses, but then you threw this in there: "Oh, and add "I love/hate teaching" to the list of probable teacher union (Ron F) pseudonyms."
And since I KNOW I am not Ron F. or anyone else on your list, you just blew any credibility you might have with me concerning multi-name posters.

BTW, Ms Downey@11:16: I bet you and colleagues could write a book about weird stuff folks do re blogs! (Off topic, but I have a friend who worked in the ER as a nurse and you should HEAR some of the stories he tells about what people "do" to themselves!)
July 22nd, 2012
3:03 pm
@Prof: Yes, yes, by leaving you out I didn't mean to suggest you're not earning your monthly blog posting stipend from the teachers' union. Or that you revile any less the inner-city parents stuck with failing public schools.
You have every reason to likewise feel ashamed of yourself.

Mountain Man- An IQ test (the various incarnations of the Stanford-Binet) can reliably measure IQ. They are extremely reliable and very stable in their measure of IQ after the age of 6. Did you mean that you know of no test that can measure all aspects of intelligence? That is something you can viably argue, but it's not credible to suggest that IQ can't be measured. IQ has probably been accurately and reliably assessed more than any other psychological construct over the last 100 years.

Surprise vacation condos are found in Maricopa County, Arizona, within the Phoenix Metropolitan area. There's much to enjoy here, from sublime natural scenery to the west, to world-class golfing and other sports facilities and venues.
A great reason to make for vacation accommodation in Surprise would be to enjoy some of the fantastic golf courses that are found throughout the Phoenix area. In fact this destination is regarded as one of the best golfing getaways in the country. Close by you'll have seven excellent courses to choose from, including Desert Springs, Coyote Lakes, Cimarron, Great Eagle, Sun Village and Granite Falls. Coyote Lakes is considered a highlight, offering full practice facilities and golf carts that are equipped with GPS navigation. Meanwhile the Surprise Recreation Campus serves as the spring training base for two Major League Baseball teams – the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers, and the first-class tennis facilities and aquatics centre here are open to the public.
Surprise self-catering vacation rentals are located just a few minutes in the car from the extensive White Tank Mountain National Park. In the cooler months this is a fantastic location for walks and other outdoor recreation. You'll be able to enjoy a wild and rugged landscape that covers more than 30,000 acres, home to soaring peaks, ridges and canyons. An ideal walking route for all the family is the Waterfall Trail, which is a gentle two-mile round trip. Along the way you'll be able to see petroglyphs made by the Hohokam civilization, which was based in the area before the continent was discovered by the old world. The centre of Phoenix is an easy drive from Surprise. It's a thoroughly modern city with first class visitor attractions and culture. An excellent family day out can be had at the Arizona Science Center, which features a planetarium and IMAX theatre. If you're interested in the area's pre-Columbian history then you could make for the Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park, which offers an insight into the Hohokam civilization.
Surprise is found in a region with a subtropical desert climate. This results in very warm or hot weather for the most of the year, with very little precipitation. From June to August daytime temperatures regularly get over 40 degrees. December and January are the coolest months, but still bring highs that reach the high teens or low-20s.
If you're flying from the United Kingdom you'll be able to get to Surprise by travelling with British Airways from London Heathrow (LHR) to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), which sits around 45 minutes by car to the southeast.

With more than $12,000 in grant money, the Kalispell Police Department hopes to buy three top-of-the-line radios.
The newer radios are smaller, more portable, and have parts that can be replaced.
Police chief, Roger Nasset, says he fears he will not be able to buy replacement parts for the older models within the year.
The money is part of the federal Byrne grant.
Montana was awarded $365,000, and the state distributed that money based on the crime statistics of each region from the last three years.
"If we didn't have this grant opportunity, we'll have to pay for it out of the general fund budget, so it's actually saving local taxpayer's money," said Nasset.
The Kalispell Police Department received money from this grant every year, except one, since 2000.

The Vanished Empire is a 2008 film directed by Karen Shakhnazarov.
The Vanished Empire Full Movie
|See All
Emotionally acute, grittily realistic, and surprisingly lyrical, THE VANISHED EMPIRE is a "wise, elegiac film" (The New York Times) that depicts a teenage boy's stumbling journey into adulthood from the streets of early 70s Soviet Moscow, to a lost city in the timeless Uzbekistan desert, to a post-communist Russian future that seemed impossible during the height of the cold war. Trapped by obligations to his pre-teen brother, archaeologist single mother and aging grandfather, the illicit temptations of youth, and the social hypocrisy of life in a USSR fifteen years away from its own inevitable transformation, 18 year old Sergey rebels by sidestepping responsibility altogether. Aided and enabled by the privileged, westernized diplomat?s son Kostya and straight-laced schoolmate Styopa, Sergey pursues girls, vodka, pot, and Western rock and roll with equal abandon. But then the arrival of gorgeous, innocent Lyuda threatens to break Sergey out of his rootless cycle of teenage kicks, even as it tests his already tenuous connection to friends, family, past, and future. Working in widescreen, director Karen Shakhnazarov (Jazzman, The Rider Named Death) expertly recreates Brezhnev-era Moscow, captures the hypnotic otherworldliness of the West Asian desert, and crafts a bracingly unsentimental, humorous, and moving portrait of youth and country on the threshold of inevitable change.

Paediatric Grand Rounds 1:8 Is Up! A 3-Ring Bonanza
Paediatric Grand Rounds 1:8 is up, courtesy of Ringmaster Flea of Dr. Flea's Blog. Children are not small adults but the full richness of human drama is present alongside a generous helping of bugs that are common to childhood. I am fascinated and repelled by Tara Smith's item about biofilms, screaming children and just why ear infections in children may be so resistant to antibiotics. Last time, Tara gave me nightmares about just how E. coli spreads among children: so maybe ear infections are less yukky.
Sceptic, parent, and carer for the very young, Clark Bartram is angry about the shameless manipulation of parental guilt in Move over tooth-fairy. Using unproven techniques, technologies and principles, you too can have your child's milk-teeth stored in the uncertain hope of resurrecting stem-cells from them, should the child have a future need for them.
Adding to the things that can turn parents into pale shadows of their pre-parent selves, is the vexed question about expanded genetic screening for newborns. Vexed? Surely that would be A Good Thing. Eh - not so much, according to Phillip Gordon and the man has an informed opinion on the matter.
For a range of interesting, challenging and entertaining posts, I commend this Paediatric Grand Rounds to you.
The next Paediatric Grand Rounds is scheduled for August 13 and your host is the quizzical, take-no-prisoners Clark Bartram. The hosting schedule and previous editions are available in the Paediatric Grand Rounds archive.

Farming @ Home: The Canner's Garden
Growing your own food and preserving it go hand-in-hand in history, though many of us nowadays start with one or the other. If you're a canner looking to expand your homesteading skills to the garden, or are a gardener who wants to apply your green thumb to goods that are best for canning, here are 7 must-haves for the canner's garden.
• Cucumbers. Many people's first entry into preserving is making their own pickled cucumbers. Classic for a reason.
• Tomatoes. Few things are sadder than a winter supermarket tomato. Make some sauce, paste, and jam to give you the taste of August in January. You can oven dry any extras and preserve those as well.
• Berries. You gotta have something to spread on your toast. There are so many berry options, common and not, and all can be made into preserves. Grow a variety and create a mixed berry jam that fits your tastes.
• Peppers. From bell peppers to chillies, there are tons of varieties and a ton of ways to save them. Canning my own roasted reds and making my own chili oil are high on my list.
• Herbs. Many herbs grow fast and in abundance, so use that to your advantage. Make pesto, dry them, or add them to pickles and jams for additional flavor.
• Cabbage. We had someone bring one jar of sauerkraut to a food swap once, and it was highly bid for! If a swapper brought homemade kimchi, I would snap it up so fast.
• Beans. Did you know you can make your own canned beans with a pressure canner? The ultimate convenience food, no supermarket required!
What's your favorite produce to can? Do you have any to add to the list?

This is why I belong to a CSA. All the organic goodness to 'put by' and none of the trouble of gardening.
Don't forget okra! I dabble in canning, but most of any excess I have ends up frozen (e.g., pesto, berries, plus tomato sauce is easier to freeze than can). Even fresh beans and peppers can be frozen if not dried.
I just made strawberry-rhubarb jam with local (and homegrown) fruit I washed, cut and froze last June.
The last thing I want to do on a hot summer day is stand over a boiling pot of fruit, so I save it for these days when it's not so hot and the fresh taste of the berries is really appreciated.
I have a question about canning. The purpose of sterilizing the jars is . . . because the preserved food items are meant to be left out in the cupboard or pantry, no refrigeration? What if I wanted to make jam but didn't want to go through the whole sterilizing process? Couldn't I just wash the jars before use and leave the jam in the fridge? I actually prefer my jam cold. The jam would be cooked, so there's no reason why it should go bad right away. Right?
I've tried searching for these answers, but have had no luck. I hope someone here can be of help!
Hi Anita! I'm a total newbie at canning but I think I know the answer to your question. If you're going to process something that spends more than 10 minutes in a boiling water bath canner or is going to be pressure canned, then it's not necessary to sanitize your jars first. If they're going to be in a boiling water bath canner for less than 10 minutes then they need sanitized first. It doesn't have so much to do with the method of storing it after the canning as it does the amount of time the jar will spend in the boiling water being canned.
I hope that makes sense! Like I said, I'm pretty new at this but I've done a bunch of research and I'm pretty sure I've got my facts straight! :)
I always sterilize my jars prior to canning for everything.... one reason among many is if you put hot food in a cold jar you just might break then jar. I also believe that Ball recommends to to sterilize jars prior to canning anything, regardless of processing method. If you wanted to skip the jars Ball makes plastic jars for your fridge/freezer. They also sell pectin specific to freezing your jam too.
Also, once you open your jar of goodies you should keep it in the fridge not on the counter top.
Lemons to make preserved lemons, candied lemon peel, chilli's to make harissa a Moroccan paste usually served with tajines, bread & olives or anything you want a hit of heat with. Oh & Chutney too, we are loving a cheese & chutney sandwich at the moment.
The boiling or heating of jars is to sterilise them to ensure they're free from anything that may cause your preserves to go off. You could keep it in the fridge, but that will only work for so long, you still need to sterilise your jars which you can also do in an oven, you need to ensure that the jars seal as well, if they have a little pop button in the lid that clicks when you push it then that needs to be down and once you've added jam etc into a hot jar and put the lid on as the jar cools that button should suck in and you should hear a click when that happens, if you can push it down and it stays that's good too, if that doesn't happen then you need to re heat the jar & contents (microwave for a minute will do the trick).
If your lids don't have that clicky button then when you tap them they need to sound hollow - tap another jar that you have perhaps purchased (unopened) and you will get an idea of the sound you need to hear.
Pickled Beets! Cylindrical beets like the variety Taunus make it really easy to get uniform slices (they are shaped like carrots, but thicker!)
@anita83 - yes, you can just make jam and put it in jars in the fridge. It won't keep as long as jam that's been canned, but if you're only making small quantities it will be fine. The purpose of canning is to make a shelf-stable product, but jam certainly doesn't have to be canned if you're just going to put it in the fridge.

Banishing Dark Circles
Goodbye, Raccoon Eyes
Q What causes dark undereye circles, and can anything be done about them?
A The usual suspects—sun damage, age, and genetics—can cause them, but there's also a lesser-known culprit: inflammation, says dermatologist Nelson Lee Novick, of Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. Inflammation from allergies, a lack of sleep, or eye-rubbing can cause undereye blood vessels to become dilated or clogged. Also, age can thin undereye skin, making underlying blood vessels more visible; sun can darken skin; and genetics can make you more predisposed to it all.
As usual, prevention is the best medicine. Get plenty of sleep, and elevate your head with two pillows. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (UVB rays can darken circles), and sunglasses that filter both UVA and UVB.
But if these strategies don't help, you do have options other than a good concealer. New studies have shown that a topical therapy combining vitamin K with retinol can help. "After 16 weeks, a computer measured 70 percent reduction in subjects' undereye discoloration," says dermatologist Mel Elson of Burns, Tennessee, who has studied the vitamin combo. Products that contain sufficient amounts of the vitamins, he says, include Vita-Cap Dark Circle Eye Serum from Esteem by Naomi Judd, and Lumineyes by Mary Kay.

Starting with 67.1% (for parents with kids under six), the study saw a gradual but steady decrease in usage ending at 55.2% for parents with kids over 18. My guess is that the decrease is based on two factors, parental age and lifestyle.
Though there are exceptions to the rule (Elton John), most sources quote the mean age for a first baby at 25 to 27 years old. So the top level of responders in this survey are in their early-thirties and under. That alone, will account for more social media usage.
Lifestyle also plays a part in parental usage for as the kids get older, the schedule usually gets busier. Where the first group of moms are often home alone with a new baby, desperate for some social contact, even of the virtual kind, moms with older kids are running to soccer games and ballet class so there is less time for online.
The good news for marketers is that the "Under Six" families are not only online more often, but they're also actively engaged in buying stuff. 77.6% said they were looking for new computer equipment, 72.4% were in the market for a new car and 71.8% were contemplating a household appliance. Face it, a new baby changes everything and there is no end to the items a new parent needs.
If you have a product aimed at families with young children, ramp up those social media efforts because according to Media Audit, you've got yourself a captive audience.

'The Other'
2011 Red Wine, Estate Grown, Lodi
Vineyard Notes:
Making a truly wonderful wine begins with only the best estate grown fruit from the heart of the Lodi Appellation. We make sure our vines struggle just a bit, through techniques like deficit irrigation, to help concentrate the fruit flavors. Crop thinning, leaf pulling and vineyard management also insure full and proper ripening. We hand harvest into small bins to keep the fruit intact for its trip to the winery.
Winemaker Notes:
Once we have received the fruit at the winery, we keep each varietal separate through the entire fermentation and aging process, so each grape can fully express its true character. We then make several blends and sample each one until we have found one that is greater than the sum of its parts. The 2011 blend consists of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Syrah. We found this blend to be the best expression of our little corner of the Lodi Appellation.
Tasting Notes:
One is immediately struck by the vibrant color of this wine. The aromas of blackberries and plums are complemented by spice, toasty oak and cedar notes. Upon washing this liquid across the palate, a wave of sweet black cherries and boysenberries, with a hint of smoky, dark oak lead to a long, totally seductive, finish. A great expression of this variety, this wine will gently knock your socks off. 'The Other' is a perfect accompaniment to a variety of cuisine.

Deaths Prompt Halt in Diabetes Study
Message for Type 2 Diabetes Patients
Researchers say the results to not apply to patients with type 1 diabetes.
In a statement, the American Diabetes Association says it continues to advise diabetes patients to strive for an A1c under 7%.
The importance of glucose control in diabetes is firmly established," the group states. "Recent data indicates that more than half of the population with diabetes in the U.S. have an A1C less than 7 percent and this overall level of glucose control appears to be of great benefit rather than harm."
But patients in ACCORD were considered high risk because they were on average 62 years old, had a 10-year history of diabetes, and had at least two cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure or cholesterol, obesity, or were smokers.
"Care should be taken not to intensively lower blood sugar levels to near-normal levels," Nabel says. For patients with high risk for heart disease, very intensive treatment aimed at lowering blood glucose to an A1c below 6% "may be detrimental."
Researchers say patients should not alter any treatments without speaking with their doctors.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.

Inequality in Exchange: The Use of a World Trade Flow Table for Analyzing the International Economy
AbstractWhether or not the terms of trade between two countries may be unequal is a controversial question in the theory of international economics. In practice, the issue is resolved through statistical observation of the terms of trade. This measurement of the terms of trade follows a long tradition and produces impressive detail. It is, however, restricted in scope, because the first derivative, the change of the terms over time is observed only. Absolute levels depend on which year is chosen as the base year, a choice that is rather arbitrary and carries no theoretical meaning. Equality in the levels of terms of trade remains thus undefined. More precisely, it is always assumed to exist implicitly for whichever base year is being nominated. The paper proposes an answer to this ambiguity based on the relatively new statistical tool of international purchasing power compilation. The terms of trade are crucially dependent on the rate of foreign exchange (for which exports are traded against imports), which is predominantly governed by financial rather than commodity markets. Hence, the paper proposes to separate the two factors of influence and to call terms of trade 'equal' if the effective real exchange rate (as derived from the nominal exchange rate by means of purchasing power parities) equals one. On that basis a world trade flow table is constructed, putting the compiled equalities and inequalities in trade into a coherent, global perspective.

What is the difference between a Stole and a scarf ?

A stole is considered to be a type of lady's shawl or long scarf. It is usually wider than a scarf, and it may be longer as well. Stoles are typically bigger because they are usually worn differently than a scarf. A stole is designed to cover a lady's shoulders and arms. Fur is a popular material for a stole, and they are often saved to wear over dresses and ball gowns for fancier occasions.Answered by LIPSIKA, 30 Apr '13 10:22 pm
Stoles are typically bigger than scarves, and they are worn around the arms and shoulders. Scarves are usually smaller, and they are worn around the head or neck.

The only difference between scarf, stole and shawl is the size. And most of times the differ by width.Answered by jameel ahmed, 30 Apr '13 10:16 pm

Cabinet Hardware
Kreg Foreman Pnuematic Semi-Auto Pocket Hole Jig DB55 - NJ8
Pneumatic Drill Motor Speeds UP Production!
Do you need to increase production - without going broke? The Kreg™ Foreman semi-automatic pocket hole machine helps eliminate workshop bottlenecks. The machine uses a dedicated pneumatic drill motor that actuates a split second before the drill contacts the work piece. The 13-5/8" x 19" inch work surface provides plenty of work piece support, while a square removable top provides easy access to the drill motor for bit changing and lubrication. Two track mounted swivel stops are independently adjustable, so hole location can be changed to suit the application. The pneumatic clamp requires 90-125 psi. for proper operation. The automatic clamp can be used with material 1/2" to 1-1/2" thick. To operate, simply position your material to be drilled and pull the lever forward. This motion supplies air to the clamping cylinder that automatically adjusts to your material thickness as well as activates the 3/4 hp drill motor. Finish the drill stroke by continuing to pull on the lever and then return the lever to the home position to cut the air supply. Includes 5 feet of pneumatic hose with a 1/2" male quick-connect fitting for connection to a compressor. Made in USA.
Features: • Automatic oiler for pneumatic motor • Lever operated, 1 second cycle time • 3/4 hp pneumatic motor, automatic air clamping • 90-120 psi recommended - Minimum compressor cap. of 5.3 cfm @ 90 psi • 1/2" to 1-1/2" material capacity • 19" H x 13-5/8" W x 22-5/8"D • Weighs 35Lbs. • Tabletop height of 6-3/4" • Fast, semi-automatic operation; automatic "hands-free" clamping, quiet pneumatic drill motor with lever operated drill stroke. • Reliable, one-step drilling operation; drills flat-bottom, round-sided pocket hole that can be plugged.
