GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Loving it. It's our first year, but with three children attending already have a broad swath of experience :) Teachers and office staff are caring, nurturing and respect every student as a unique human being. A great family feel, and I have never once heard my children complain of boredom. There are Choice classes on Fridays (fun arts and crafts type classes taught by parents), each child learns at their own level... One of the most important aspects I consider to be the Core Group which happens daily, teaching emotional maturity! Each class sits in a circle, and students go around one-at a time discussing their recent experiences and expressing concerns/ appreciations about their school-day or personal life. This promotes emotional maturity in the child. Self-reflection, and skills to work with others are a key part of succeeding in navigation modern life--- neighbors and co-workers will be from varied cultures and backgrounds: children learn to express their joy and also state their boundaries with others in a group atmosphere---assuaging the origin of antisocial behavior (i.e. bullying or acting out) since each child feels personally heard and understood by peers and teachers.
So fun...Teacher's nice. Fixing the balls and books would be good. I love my school. (:
A warehouse for children. A total disappointment. our kid was not taught how to read, write or do anything useful. While there, we witnessed the decline and transformation of a once prosperous learning institution to a sad and depressing and hostile environment for our kid. Bad news. BTW, the comments from 2009 are very accurate, It's just not the same school today.
We love our school because they have indoor and outdoor class.our kids are always happy to go to school. We enjoy the end of year family camping trip for each grade. We love the theater arts and other electives that are taught by both parents and teachers in music and And other areas of interest. We enjoy the friendly staff and the encouragement they give toward parent participation. I wouldn't change anything about OAS they really support the family unit. We can't say enough good things we totally LOVE our school.
We have had our children at OAS for a total of 9 years so far. My eldest is now in Jr. high and thriving both socially as well as academically. I believe this is proof of the wonderful teaching going on at OAS. The hands-on approach to learning academics along with the emphasis on the importance of learning to be socially responsible, have made this wonderful school stand out. Core Group is an amazing part of each day's curriculum in every grade. It is a vehicle for dealing with challenges that may come up for students during the day, as well as appreciations that want to be expressed. Core Group fosters a safe and effective environment for students to work out social challenges. The two head teachers that have been at OAS since my children have attended, have held both teaching, as well as administrative credentials. The philosophy of Progressive Education at OAS means that administrators and teachers are consistently learning new methods and theories to advance the learning that takes place. Many parents, like myself, are also involved in the learning that happens at OAS, and the best part for our family is that the environment at this school is organic and authentic.
Our children have learned to learn, not just memorize. They've learned to have an appreciation for education while also learning how to respect others. Granted, our children started in kindergarden and had the full OAS experience while others (bullies?) may have more trouble adjusting when coming in later. This is a problem in all schools. Our eldest child is a straight A student in junior high after attending seven years of OAS. And while I'm pleased at the grades I'm more pleased to know that my children enjoy school and learning. As far as leadership goes, OAS has had some unfortunate circumstances due to budget cuts, etc. that have required an inordinate amount of principal time and effort. Overall I'm pleased with leadership and the parent participation in the school. The school does a great job with it's limited resources and it's amazing that it is a free public school open to anyone in the Santa Barbara Elementary School District!
I notice a lot of the reviews are from 2009. This is our second and final year at OAS and I feel it is slipping away. We have had trouble with bullying all year. The teachers are great but their hands are tied in matters of getting the kids to listen or behave. The current head teacher (a.k.a. principal) is not credentialed or, in my opinion, qualified to run a school. This fact is slowly degrading the quality of education and the experience at OAS.
OAS is a wonderful school, that is truly a community of teachers, staff, children and parents who come together to offer a unique, engaging, and effective learning experience.
My children have excelled at the Open Alternative School! Academically, they are pushed to their potential. OAS has the ability to individualize instruction which sets this school above all other public schools. The students at OAS are responsible, caring and bright. I am proud to say my children attend OAS.
OAS is criticized for it's lack of academics by people who have never set foot on our campus. The truth is OAS students are superior academically. Here are a few facts... -3 out of 4 of the La Cumbre students chosen for the Tri-County Gate Leadership Conference were OAS students. -The two essays awarded for the ADL 7th-12th grade contest were OAS students currently in the 7th grade. -The Renaissance Club (Honors Club) has an extremely high percentage of OAS students. Get the facts on OAS, it's an amazing school!
My children love going to school! They are flowering in an engaging environment that creates a love for learning and instills respect for others.
OAS has a style of teaching that encourages individuality, independence and self worth... yet, not all of the teachers have mastered the delicate balance between this type of child centered instruction and the need for clear expectations and structure. The school is a parent co-op, but leans more on parents than any other co-op I've been exposed to. Be prepared to participate financially and physicially in every class activity. Their lunch program is excellent and the on campus child care teacher is its most valuable asset.
The people and the relationships and the caring are the best! Kids are not squashed but allowed to blossom at their own individual rate.
Open Alternative School has been a great place for my 6th grader. He's learned a lot about treating people with respect, feeling confident his his ideas and abilities, excelling in creative writing, math and the sciences. Most of all, he has a love of learning that he can take with him to all his other places of learning throughout his life.
OAS's non traditional way of teaching enriches the students life in ways that 'traditional' classrooms don't. It allows the student to not just grow as a student but also as a person. They teach math, reading and other 'technical' elementary school classes but also teach them about interaction, how to express themselves, and how to develop their own learning style.
I love participating at OAS. As a parent I got to collaborate with the children in writing an original theater play. It was the funnest thing I've done in my life. I'm doing it again this year, since it was so fun. Children are creative, and OAS encourages their creativity and free thinking. Our children were slow to start reading. OAS teachers didn't rush them or punished them for it. They knew the children would come to reading at their own speed. Now they both love reading and devour books. If they had been singled out for not reading in their earlier years, I'm sure they wouldn't love reading now. Thanks for reading, Isaac
OAS teaches kids to think...not just follow instructions
It has amazing, dedicated teachers. The school has a healthy lunch program that includes food from the school's organic garden. There is a strong emphasis on outdoor and environmental education including camping trips from 2nd grade on. It also has annual class plays. Core group sharing is a daily event where students discuss 'concerns' and 'appreciations' and there is a Peer Mediation Program. All in all a strong, small, (k-8) progressive school.
Freedom to teach our kids the way they individually need to learn and not put them in a box.
I love Alternative School because along with the basics, my children are learning how to be caring, sharing, citizens of the world.

A phase III clinical trial is now recruiting participants to study the effects of PectaSol-C® modified citrus pectin (MCP) in controlling prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels in prostate cancer patients. The study, conducted at the Meir Medical Center in Kfar-Saba, Israel, will evaluate MCP's efficacy for patients experiencing continued PSA increases in biochemical relapse of prostate cancer.
"MCP has shown activity against prostate and other cancers in a number of previous studies, and toxicology studies show it to be extremely safe," says lead investigator Daniel Keizman, MD, Genitourinary Oncology Service, Institute of Oncology, Meir Medical Center. "We are further investigating whether MCP can help patients who are experiencing biochemical relapse of prostate cancer. Unfortunately, there is no standard treatment for these men."
With the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, as well as their second leading cause of cancer death. Approximately 33 percent of prostate cancer patients previously treated with surgery and/or radiation experience biochemical relapse, the serial increase in PSA levels without evidence of metastasis.
The phase III clinical trial titled, "The Effect of Modified Citrus Pectin on PSA Kinetics in Biochemical Relapsed PC Patients with Serial Increases in PSA," seeks to determine whether MCP is an effective option for these patients. MCP is a specialized form of citrus pectin which is modified to a specific molecular weight and structure for absorption into the circulation and increased bioactivity. MCP has been shown to inhibit the inflammatory protein galectin-3, which is associated with cancer aggressiveness, chronic inflammation and fibrosis.
MCP has demonstrated anticancer activity in both preclinical and clinical studies, reducing tumor growth and metastasis; accelerating apoptosis of cancer cells, and selectively promoting immune activity and efficacy. Specifically, MCP has been shown to inhibit prostate, breast and colon cancer, as well as melanoma in preclinical models. In a pilot clinical study, MCP increased PSA doubling times in men with aggressive prostate cancer. In addition, MCP has been shown in preclinical studies to work synergistically with chemotherapies such as doxorubicin and paclitaxel, maximizing their impact against cancer. MCP is also clinically proven in multiple human trials and case study reports to bind and eliminate heavy metals such as lead, mercury and arsenic from the circulation, without affecting essential mineral levels.
For this clinical study, researchers seek to recruit 60 prostate cancer patients who have received treatment and have shown increased PSA levels, but have no evidence of metastasis. This open label study will administer 4.8 grams of PectaSol-C MCP three times a day for six months. Patients will receive a clinical follow-up four months later. Full study details and inclusion criteria for participation can be found here on the cinicaltrials.gov website.
"Because of its ability to bind galectin-3, MCP has shown promise against a number of cancers," says Dr. Keizman. "This phase III trial will hopefully expand our understanding of MCP's potential to help prostate cancer patients faced with biochemical relapse."
If you are experiencing biochemical relapse from prostate cancer and are interested in participating in this phase III clinical trial, please contact Sharon Berkley at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 972 (0)9 747 2101. For more information, visit the trial page at clincialtrials.gov.
Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancers because it's often detected at a late stage, with higher risk of resistance to frontline chemotherapy drugs such as paclitaxel (commonly sold as Taxol). However, a new preclinical study from the University of Tehran and the Neuroscience Research Center, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention showed that Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) increased the effectiveness of paclitaxel against ovarian cancer cells. Results showed MCP worked through its ability to block excess galectin-3 proteins.
This study furthers our understanding of how excess galectin-3 fuels the growth and spread of chemo-resistant cancer. The study showed for the first time that galectin-3 increases ovarian cancer cell proliferation and adhesion to collagen, and further substantiated previous findings that galectin-3 prevents apoptosis in cancer cells. (Apoptosis is the normal programmed cell death in a cell's life cycle.) Moreover, the study showed that inhibition of galectin-3 by MCP sensitizes ovarian cancer cells to the chemotherapy drug. The anti-apoptosis effect of galectin-3 was reversed in the presence of MCP.
This study demonstrated that MCP may be a useful therapeutic agent in combination therapy for ovarian cancer. The authors note, "As paclitaxel has serious side effects, any agent that may lead to more effective cytotoxic effect or use of lower dose of this agent may be an interesting candidate for combination therapy. Our study demonstrated that MCP can sensitize ovarian cancer cells to paclitaxel through inducing apoptosis, suggesting that the combined use of MCP and paclitaxel may be an effective way to decrease the dose of paclitaxel taken."
As research into galectin-3 continues, MCP gains further recognition as an effective natural galectin-3 inhibitor, shown in preclinical and clinical studies to block the growth and spread of prostate, breast, and other types of cancer. MCP has also been shown to work synergistically with other anti-cancer drugs, increasing the effectiveness of doxorubicin, cisplatin, dexamethasone, as well as botanical therapies for both breast and prostate cancer.

By following an "Elimination Diet", you may be able to identify foods that trigger certain symptoms including joint pain, skin rashes, headaches and much more. Here's how to get started.
Elimination Phase – First Two Weeks:
Before you begin, make a list or chart of all your symptoms, note their frequency, and rate their severity on a scale of 1 to 10. Note any other characteristics or associations with particular food intake, meal, etc.
Eliminate the following food groups along with all food items which contain any of these foods.
Stay hydrated: drink plenty of filtered water, herbal teas, unsweetened coconut water, unsweetened rice milk
After two weeks of elimination, rate your symptom chart once again and compare with your initial list.
Did you notice any changes in symptoms, their frequency or severity?
Any new symptoms?
As your body clears during this elimination process, you could have a temporary worsening of symptoms or even a new symptom. These may include headaches, brain fog, skin rash, changes in digestion and/or elimination, bloating, gas, fatigue. Mild symptoms are a common part of the clearing process so continue on, pay attention to adequate fluid intake and make sure you are getting enough protein to keep your blood sugar normalized.
You know your body. Be smart. If any symptoms are severe or you feel something is not right, consult your health care provider.
Reintroduction-Challenge Phase:
Use your symptom chart to rate your symptom frequency and severity after each food introduction.
Have any symptoms returned or gotten worse after reintroducing a food?
Any new symptoms?
What can you eat on an Elimination Diet?
For A More Extensive Program:
Important Information: This diet is not intended to diagnose or treat any specific illness and is intended for healthy individuals. If you have a significant health issue, you are advised to consult your health care provider and undertake this program under supervision. The elimination diet involves the temporary removal of significant sources of protein and other nutrients, which in compromised individuals, may not be advised without ensuring that vital nutrients are preserved in the diet in other forms.
Find out how you can get the upper hand against this frightening modern epidemic…
From time to time, media headlines will warn of the dangers of mercury or lead poisoning. However, many heavy metals, including mercury, lead, cadmium, and aluminum, are poisonous to your health and longevity—and chances are good that you encounter all of them on a daily basis.
The reality is that these environmental toxins are everywhere. You'll find mercury in your dental amalgams and vaccines, and aluminum in your antiperspirant. Most meat, especially fish, is abundant in environmental toxins, as is most tap water.
The truth is, it's impossible to avoid exposure to heavy metals. But you can protect yourself with safe, with gentle, natural chelation. Unlike intravenous therapy at a specialized clinic—or even oral chelation with harsh chemicals that deplete essential nutrients, nature provides us with ingredients to bind and eliminate toxins from the body, without uncomfortable side effects.[/one_half]
I've compiled all of this information into a comprehensive guide for you to have and share with your family and friends. As a doctor of integrative medicine, it is my mission to share the knowledge and experience I have gained from treating patients, and to give you the tools you need to make the best decisions for your own health.
However, research, education and the accessibility of safer screening methods such as thermography are increasing. These targeted advancements aim to support women of all ages in effective breast cancer prevention efforts and long term health management. Of particular note is the research pointing to an anti-oxidant rich diet, regular exercise and weight management, and specific botanical and nutritional compounds – all of which work to prevent and fight breast cancer through multiple mechanisms of action.
As an integrative physician specializing in the holistic prevention and treatment of breast cancer, I've developed a comprehensive, scientifically researched botanical and nutritional formula to strategically address breast health issues. Three peer-reviewed studies from Indiana University demonstrated the powerful anti-cancer and anti-metastasis effects of this unique formula, including one showing that, when combined with Modified Citrus Pectin, the anti-cancer benefits of the breast formula increased synergistically.
Last month, Prevention Magazine wrote about this remarkable formula, highlighting the most recent published study which showed the formula decreased aggressive breast cancer growth and metastasis significantly, safely with no toxicity. To read health journalist Leah Zurbe's piece in the February 2013 issue of Prevention Magazine, titled "A Natural Way to Halt Hard to Treat Breast Cancer", click here.
In my practice, I recommend this integrative breast formula together with other targeted natural compounds and ingredients to support overall health while preventing and fighting breast cancer from multiple angles. Together with a healthy diet and lifestyle, these approaches can:
These are crucial factors in maintaining breast health and general wellness over the long term.

Brush Up! Understanding the Oral Systemic Connection from Isaac Eliaz on Vimeo.
When we don't control harmful bacteria in the mouth, these health-robbing microbes can migrate and wreak havoc throughout the body. Gingivitis (gum disease) and its more advanced form, periodontitis, are already implicated in life threatening illness such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Now, research expands on these connections by showing a direct link between poor oral health and cancer. Specifically, pathogenic bacteria from the mouth suppress immunity, spread infection, fuel chronic inflammation and may even trigger harmful cell mutations.
In addition to good oral hygiene and regular dental exams, there are some powerful ways to address oral health and reduce your risk of cancer and chronic illness. Specifically, a select group of natural therapies are shown in multiple peer reviewed studies to actively fight bacterial infections and cancer, while offering a number of additional health benefits.
In this upcoming live webinar "Brush Up: How Good Oral Hygiene Can Prevent Cancer", Dr. Isaac Eliaz, integrative health expert, discusses the latest published studies linking poor oral health to an increase in cancer risk and development. He will also cover the strategic application of several natural supplements proven to:
This not to be missed talk will also provide solutions for gentle, total-body detoxification of mercury and toxic metals from amalgam fillings. New diagnostic tests, in addition to specific protocols and ingredient dosages will be provided.
It is estimated that millions more people in America visit a dentist rather than a primary care doctor. We all know why: tooth pain simply can't be ignored. But what most people don't realize, is that these dental visits can do more than fix a painful situation; they may also help prevent a life-threatening illness such as cancer. In the upcoming webinar, Dr. Eliaz will share the how and why of this critical connection, and the best ways to address these issues for long term health and wellness.

Music is a universal language. That's because rhythm and harmony are more than musical elements – they are the energetic foundation of life, nature, our universe. Their vibrations have the power to expand the heart, transform the mind and heal. In fact, music is the earliest form of medicine, dating back tens of thousands of years to the first shamanic drums and songs. Today, song-healings are practiced throughout the world as more health seekers learn that singing, playing an instrument or listening to certain music can bring deep healing, peace of mind, spiritual growth and a greater connection to nature.
As an integrative physician and traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, the healing power of music has always been an important part of my practice and family life. Harmony and tempo help synchronize the rhythms of the natural world with the "music of the heart" – each person's individual energetic pattern, expressed in their pulse. The heart pattern is best understood through the lens of traditional Chinese medicine, which teaches the diagnostic qualities of different pulse patterns in analyzing health and disease. And music may have the power to influence these biological rhythms more than any other factor.
The Power of Music
That's why I'm so inspired by my daughter, Amity who has been creating original music since she was young, and just recently released her powerful, uplifting song and video called "Me and My Guitar". In it, Amity tells a beautiful story of the healing power of music to help express your inner nature and find your spirit's truth beneath the layers of obstructions. Amity is dedicated to sharing her talents for the benefit of others. When she performs, people express just how uplifting her music is, particularly when she's played for chronically ill people who are often deeply touched by her inspiring songs of healing and transformation. Needless to say, as her father and as a healer, I am beyond proud of her.
You can watch the beautiful new music video "Me and My Guitar" on YouTube here:
Music in Medicine
What's also exciting is that science has begun to explore these ancient rhythmic connections which have stood at the heart of culture, spirituality, and healing for millennia. Today, the study of music in medicine is a rapidly expanding field which is taking it beyond complementary, supportive therapy. A growing number of published studies show that music can play an active role in health and disease. An even larger number of books have been written for general readers, highlighting the numerous and remarkable benefits of music and sound. From increased healing, spirituality and personal growth – to better cognitive ability to greater emotional stability, music and sound therapy can make a powerful difference in people's lives.
An interesting review of recent clinical studies on music and physiology was published this year in the journal, Nutrition. The article, titled "The Impact of Music on Metabolism," explores the ways that music can affect various physiological and metabolic pathways to improve cardiovascular health, pain management, post-operative recovery, gastrointestinal health, metabolic health, vital energy, exercise recovery time and more. Listening to music was shown to increase growth hormone levels, decrease cortisol and inflammation markers, and regulate adrenal pathways to improve responses to stress. In one study reviewed, music therapy reduced the occurrence of acute and congestive heart failure events in cardiovascular disease patients. In another study, pre-term infants exposed to music therapy showed numerous benefits including improved respiration and oxygenation, increased weight gain, reduced pain, greater nutrition intake and reduced hospital stay. Other studies of music's effects on gastrointestinal health and metabolism showed that music therapy improved digestive function and efficiency, increased metabolism, and may support healthy weight. Studies on music and athletic performance showed that listening to music while exercising may help to improve cholesterol and total lipid profiles as well as total body fat ratio.
Modern science has just begun to scratch the surface of music and sound in terms of healing potential. However, traditional medical systems from around the world have long revered the beneficial vibrations of music, harmony and rhythm for health and vitality. The effects are instant and tangible, but they are also powerful and long lasting.
So make a cup of tea, sit back and relax, and play some music you love. It may be one of the best things you can do for your health.

Isaac Eliaz, M.D., L.Ac.
Santa Rosa, CA (11/20/2012) –
Cardiovascular disease will kill nearly 2.5 million people in the United States this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Over time, inflammation, collagen deposition and scar tissue formation can cause blood vessels to stiffen, a process called vascular fibrosis. Though researchers have known that the hormone aldosterone (Aldo) plays a role in this process, the precise mechanisms have been poorly understood.
Now, an international study published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology: Journal of the American Heart Association is providing new insights into cardiovascular disease.Particularly significant, the study illuminates how Aldo and the protein galectin-3 jointly contribute to vascular remodeling and congestive heart failure by fueling the processes of inflammation, fibrosis and collagen deposition.
The findings indicate that galectin-3 is required for inflammatory and fibrotic responses to Aldo, suggesting a key role for galectin-3 in vascular fibrosis. Equally important, the study proves that Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP), a preparation derived from the pith of citrus peels, prevents these effects by binding to galectin-3 and controlling Aldo induced elevated galectin-3 levels.
MCP is a form of citrus pectin modified to a specific molecular weight and structure for enhanced absorption and bioactivity. Regular pectin goes through the gastrointestinal tract unabsorbed, whereas MCP is readily absorbed and has been demonstrated in published research to perform multiple beneficial functions. MCP's small molecular weight and unique structure allow it to bind and block excess galectin-3 throughout the body. Elevated serum galectin-3 has been linked to high mortality rates in heart failure and metastatic cancer. MCP slows cancer progression and metastasis, blocks inflammation, helps prevent fibrosis, and offers other critical benefits related to the inhibition of galectin-3. It also supports immunity and safely chelates heavy metals.
The researchers in this study sought to understand exactly how Aldo and galectin-3 work together to affect vascular remodeling. In small quantities, Aldo and galectin-3 perform necessary biological functions. Aldo regulates blood pressure and electrolyte balance; galectin-3 facilitates cell-to-cell communication and cell growth. However, high levels of Aldo are linked to arterial stiffness and heart failure. Similarly, high levels of galectin-3 play a direct role in chronic inflammation, fibrosis and subsequent tissue remodeling in the kidneys, liver, heart and other organs; as well as cancer formation and metastasis.
In 2011, the Food and Drug Administration approved a serum galectin-3 test to assess the risk and progression of congestive heart failure and heart disease. This test is widely available and covered by most health insurances for cardiovascular screening. Practitioners also use this test to assess the risk and progression of cancer and other galectin-3 related diseases.
Dr. Isaac Eliaz, a recognized expert in the field of galectin-3 and the use of Modified Citrus Pectin states, "The results of this study have enormous implications for the prevention and treatment of heart disease and fibrosis related conditions. Because it functions as an active, culprit biomarker, galectin-3 serves as a therapeutic target in multiple life-threatening conditions. According to the scientific literature, this is achievable with the oral application of MCP, a galectin-3 inhibitor without side effects. This approach offers a new solution to numerous chronic conditions related to inflammation, fibrosis and metastatic cancer for which there are limited conventional treatments."
Study Details In the study, rats were given Aldo and sodium chloride salt, which increased blood pressure, inflammation, fibrosis and galectin-3 levels. Using MCP, the research team blocked excess galectin-3 with significant results. Collagen type 1 deposition, blood pressure, inflammation, fibrosis and aortic wall thickness were all reduced. Spironolactone, a pharmaceutical Aldo inhibitor, achieved similar results.
However, the side effects of spironolactone are significant while MCP is proven to achieve greater results without toxicity or side effects. Specifically, the MCP was shown to outperform spironolactone in a few key areas related to inflammation and fibrosis. MCP achieved better suppression of fibrotic markers. Importantly, MCP completely inhibited the cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) which plays a key role in inflammation, fibrosis, immune response and cancer/metastasis. Spironolactone only partially blocked the Aldo induced IL-6.
The team went on to test the impact of increasing Aldo in regular mice as well as in galectin-3 knockout mice unable to produce the protein. When given Aldo, the normal mice experienced the inflammation and overabundant collagen formation associated with vascular remodeling. However, the knock-out mice experienced no ill effects, supporting the conclusion that Aldo requires galectin-3 to induce the collagen type 1 synthesis and deposition associated with vascular fibrosis.
This new research confirms a number of earlier studies which implicate galectin-3 in numerous conditions related to inflammation and fibrosis. In particular, it substantiates research published in the journal PLoS One in 2011 demonstrating the role that galectin-3 plays in acute fibrosis-related kidney injuries. That study also shows that MCP blocks the harmful effects of excess galectin-3 and helps to reverse related damages.
This recent study marks a critical step toward understanding the mechanisms behind vascular fibrosis, and the role MCP can play in inhibiting these and other factors associated with heart failure and organ fibrosis. More research must be done to further illuminate the role of galectin-3 in cardiovascular and chronic diseases. Further research including clinical trials are being planned to explore MCP as a safe and natural preventative and treatment for congestive heart failure and metastatic cancer.

The rodarte slashing is in part due to the material of the shirt, it already has holes but I basically just lifted up threads with the led in my mechanical pencil and toreeeeee...

CDs were uncomfortable, but somehow easier to keep intact than the t-shirts? Haha.

hazel-Totally get what you mean. I think anything can be worn well, but the common hatred for Uggs is because they are usually associated with a Hollister uniform. Lol I am getting so tired of the smudged eyeliner and hair straightening too. It's bad for your hair!

Angie-I catch your drift. I think it's stupid when people that spend $300 on a haircut that is supposed to make them look like they just woke up and wear an outfit straight out of the American Apparel catalogue think that just because they aren't wearing Abercrombie means they're being ridiculously creative. It's kind of pretentious, yeah?Tavihttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159090215082945111.post-84762012941521412422008-12-11T20:48:00.000-06:002008-12-11T20:48:00.000-06:00I totally get what you're sayin' here.

(This is not about you Tavi, I just need to vent and you mentioned Uggs) :] It's like those "hipster" kids, who don't want to be labeled and say that they dress "unique" but in reality they are just another clique. They hate on people that wear things like Abercrombie, calling them Aberzombies, b/c they wear the same stuff, and they act all superior. It's like for them, hating on all things "popular" is the cool thing to do. I don't know, it just bugs me.

Again, this isn't about anyone, and Tavi I think you dress awesome and you really are unique and different and cool. :)firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159090215082945111.post-42964006829407041782008-12-11T17:40:00.000-06:002008-12-11T17:40:00.000-06:00Cape as a skirt is a grrrrreat idea.Cape as a skirt is a grrrrreat firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159090215082945111.post-37398507686087588672008-12-11T16:46:00.000-06:002008-12-11T16:46:00.000-06:00I love the alienesque out of this world photos her...I love the alienesque out of this world photos here..

i need to get some of that in my life.

i don't know about uggs. i've spent about three years of my life staring at them on other girls and frankly i think they need to disappear..as soon as possible.

the majority of people at my school, as is the case i think with the majority of american teens, is that they aren't entirely creative with their wardrobe. it's basically the abercrombie uniform, athletic mesh shorts and baggy sweatpants (they're all athletes. i'm not.) and messy racoon eyeliner with poker straight hair.

i wish there were more people that take risks, really. i would love to have more peers that try to incorporate gareth pugh in their wardrobe...hazelhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159090215082945111.post-19200749064635319592008-12-11T12:38:00.000-06:002008-12-11T12:38:00.000-06:00i really love the poses you capture in your photos...i really love the poses you capture in your photosLisahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159090215082945111.post-36827032163099065372008-12-11T10:46:00.000-06:002008-12-11T10:46:00.000-06:00Ahaha creative take on Gareth Pugh!

Screamin' Jay Hawkins: "Little Demon" (Okeh 4-7072, 1956)
A little Halloween mayhem for you on this October 31st.
Screamin' Jay Hawkins, his band, and their engineer were all raging drunk when they recorded this, which was originally released as the b-side to his million-selling breakthrough "I Put A Spell On You." They were drunk recording "Spell," too. This was fortuitous, because Hawkins had been a pretty average blues singer up to that point, and these two weird songs they came out of the session with remade him in a completely new mold. He added "Screamin'" to his stage name, and the rest is, well, you know.
Screamin' Jay went on to have a long, fruitful, and totally bizarre career, making records to varying degrees as wild as this one. He also went on to father a legendary, and still undetermined, number of children out wedlock. They even had a reunion in 2001.

2013 Scouting for Food to support the Hartland Food Pantry
Keep and eye out for a plastic bag to be dropped off at your Hartland home on March 16th, 2013. We will be collecting the donations from your doorstep the following Saturday, March 23, 2013.
Since 1985 the Boy Scouts of America has been collecting food in their communities for the local food pantries. Hartland Food Pantry is committed to serving the hungry in our neighborhoods and needs our help to keep their shelves stocked. Last year we had a number of kind donations and the boys felt good about the service they were providing. This year we want our Scouts to see the generosity again as we work together to fill the shelves! Please consider donating canned and boxed foods. The pantry also needs living items such as soap, shampoo, paper plates and paper towels to name a few. Thank you Hartland residents for your support!

The Microsoft Windows Platform for Mobiles is still in a struggling against the might of Android and iOS in the battle of the mobile community. While the UI and functioning and speed of the Windows OS has been praised by many including Apples own Steve Wozniak, the lack of applications at the store is still a huge problem above that almost every app is paid. In this situation only one app can't even scare the Fly, but an official version of Instragram has ,yet not , been released for Windows Phones and there is no sight of the release in near future, a third party app called 6tag offers a fully-functional Instagram experience.
In the past many apps tried to give Windows phone a full photo-sharing service, some are quite good, but yet no one has able to give an official experience. 6tag formerly known as 6tagram is different as one can find many features in it as like in Android and iOS. Along with photo sharing and filtering feature, 6tag took it to another step by giving the option of uploading a video.
6tag is the richest instagram service up to date, and quite surprisingly many features included in this app are excatly the same as one can find in both Android and iOS. So until the official app hit the store 6tag is the best option possible, since it's free to download.
Features of 6tag for Windows Phone 8.
- 100% original filters: XPro-II, Earlybird, Rise, Amaro, Hudson, Lo-fi, Sutro, Toaster, Brannan, Inkwell, Walden, Hefe, Nashville, 1977, and others.
- Video recording along with the feature of cut scenes.
- Radial Linear and Tilt-Shift blur effects for extra depth of field.
- Instant sharing to popular social media sites like Facebook, Twitter etc.
- Upload unlimited Pictures.
- Geotag your posts.
- Through likes and comments, Interact with friends
- Support of both Front & Back camera .

THG Commentary: Hate the Game, Not the Playerby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Those that take issue with David Letterman mocking Bristol Palin need to hate the game, not the player.
Late-night talk shows exist for one reason: to make fun of those in the news.
Let's go back to 1995: One of Jay Leno's most famous skits was "The Dancing Itos." It was a comedy sketch that was based around lookalikes of those involved in the O.J. Simpson case, such as Judge Lance Ito.
Yes, Jay Leno made light of a double murder case. Not only was he never taken to task for it, audiences ate it up.
Meanwhile, just a few weeks ago, Conan O'Brien made this joke: "Sarah Palin is going to drop the first puck at the Philadelphia Flyers' hockey game. Then, Palin will spend the rest of the game trying to keep the players out of her daughter's penalty box."
That is FAR more offensive than anything Letterman said, as it uses a pejorative term for "vagina" and it doesn't mention Eliot Spitzer or Alex Rodriguez, the two men that were equally at the forefront of Dave's jabs.
But did Palin utter a word about it? Of course not. O'Brien only aired at 12:30 a.m. at the time. His ratings were puny.
Here's a way to kill a few hours: go search the Internet for jokes made at the expense of Jamie Lynn Spears and Miley Cyrus over the past couple of years on late-night television.
The point is simple: talk show hosts make fun of celebrities.
Bristol Palin is a celebrity; not because her mother ran for a political office, but because her mother approved of her appearance on the cover of People.
Sorry, but the moment Bristol's face appeared on the front of the world's leading tabloid, Gov. Palin could no longer claim that her family's private world was being invaded. She has chosen a public life for herself and her children and must live with it.
This is also why Palin's claim of a double standard does not hold any merit.
In her interview with Matt Lauer, the governor said everyone respects President Obama's pleas to leave his family alone, but the same standard does not hold for her.
This is a laughable comparison.
Sasha and Malia Obama are 7 and 10 years old, respectively. Let us assure any doubters out there: if either of them gets caught with a fake ID, drives drunk or gets pregnant as a teenager, every late-night host will be overflowing with jokes.In the meantime, they are going to school every day and looking adorable. Mock away, comedians!
Overall, it's fine for Palin to mention in an interview that she thinks Letterman made an inappropriate reference. Dave himself has not denied this.
But - like she did with her reference to Barack Obama "paling around with terrorists," like she did with her reference to Democrats wanting to "wave the white flag of surrender" in Iraq - the governor has stepped overboard.
Sarah Palin simply isn't articulate or intelligent enough to make a coherent point.
Therefore, she resorts to attention-grabbing words and implications; in this case, actually impugning David Letterman for being a pedophile or a rapist.
Letterman would be the first to say that he isn't a saint. He's a comedian that sometimes makes distasteful jokes for the sake of a laugh. Like ALL comedians do.
Question his standards sometimes, Governor Palin and supporters, but also check his record. Never, over the course of a 27-year career, has he been accused of anything resembling the charges you've drummed up.
However, days after 9/11, he delivered as heartfelt a tribute as anyone on television mustered at the tragic time.
We don't mean to exploit it, but it's stuck with us for years and it's well worth viewing. It's appalling that Sarah Palin would take a few words uttered by a clearly thoughtful, compassionate man - one that has entertained millions for decades with his brand of humor, whether she wishes to respect that or not - and turn them into such an ugly incident, all in the name of fortifying her political base.
Then again, it's also not unexpected.
Whose side are you on!?
Sorry but if you can't see that Palin is a walking soap opera with not a whole lot going on upstairs, you are hopeless. Also, Iran should not be meddled with.
"Sarah Palin simply isn't articulate or intelligent enough to make a coherent point." Hmmm, funny she sounds incredibly articulate and intelligent here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... Please note her speech has an utter lack of ummms, uhs, ahs, you knows and all the other fillers that our supposedly intelligent and articulate Harvard-educated President makes when not reading straight off the teleprompter. But then his excuse is he doesn't know how to speak Austrian and didn't get to visit that 57th State. Oh, and he's still looking for his birth certificate. On another note, way to stand up for the Iranian people, Mr. Obama. NOT! Cowardice is his middle name.
Imus was fired even after he gave a very sincere apology, which was accepted by the women's basketball team. This isn't about Palin. It's about society saying we're tired of this kind of talk being rationalized as "jokes". Letterman should still be fired.
Regardless whose team you are on, you have to admit that Palin invites a lot of jokes on herself and her family when she acts like an illiterate redneck.
I do need to point out that this article is severely flawed not only by the writer's lack of understanding about politics, but for it's intentional bias as well: "Sarah Palin simply isn't articulate or intelligent enough to make a coherent point." Then explain to me why there will be a mass gathering of people at the Ed Sullivan Theatre tomorrow night to protest David Letterman. You libs don't get it yet do you. The world is on to you now. You know why? That "inarticulate" lady went on Lauer Friday and EVERYONE understood EXACTLY what she was saying. Inarticulate, bllllslllt!
Honestly, "Fanatical Radical" he said it and its not going to change...you have your opinion just like everyone else on this page and just like you David Letterman has freedom of speech...I highly doubt that he'll get fired over it...WHY??? Because it was a JOKE!!! People are so quick to judge what others say and do but don't realize that they are human just like Letterman..in a few days or weeks everything will be back to normal because most people know that Letterman is a comedian and whoever doesn't like what he says shouldn't watch his show....I'm sure he'll do fine.. And btw...you don't have to put my name in quotes because that is my name..
Clearly, Letterman screwed up. He crossed the line. But he also acknowledged his mistake and apologized for it. What else does Palin want? Letterman may have gone too far in targeting Palin's daughter, yet the fact remains that political figures have to be willing to accept the brunt of jokes, etc. I'm not condoning inappropriate comments about minors, but I am saying that Palin needs to recognize that its a two-way street. If she wants other comedians to refrain from making further comments about her life and her children, then perhaps she should keep her daughter off the cover of People as well.
Letterman's pitiful words and the hate from those who condone them are undefendable. Have you sunk so low that you can only feel worthwhile when trying to drag someone else down to your level? Is there no one of you with the courage to say this is wrong? The more you talk, the less you become.
Does anyone actually take David Letterman seriously ?
Or that matter any other comedian became talk show host?
So the joke was made about one of Sarah's kids having sex with someone more than twice her age. So if you think that's all right we should be able to joke about Malia having sex with a 20 year old. Or will you change the rules? Because I've got a great finger banging joke coming up.

Interest rates are at the lowest levels in decades, but how do you know if refinancing is worth it? C. Brink Cawley, from Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group in Grosse Pointe, says there are some things to consider but the decision is easy.
1. How do I know if it makes sense to refinance?
If Your Current Interest Rate is Above 4%.
If You have an ARM? (adjustable rate mortgage.)
2. Can I refinance if I am upside down in my mortgage?
Yes, if you have continued to make payments.
Yes, if you have a job or income.
Yes, if you qualify for the government's HARP program.
What about buying? In Michigan inventory is down and there is a lot of competition. Cawley says low interest rates mean there are still deals out there.
3. Is this a good time to buy a home?
Yes, Home prices are at lowest level since 2002.
Yes, Interest rates are the lowest since the 1950's.
Yes, Michigan's economy is recovering faster than the rest of country.
C. Brink Cawley, a leading mortgage loan originator in Michigan, is returning to his hometown of Grosse Pointe to open and manage a branch office of Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group.
Gold Star is one of the fastest growing companies in the United States and is listed on the Inc. 500. The company is a full-service mortgage business that closes more than $1.5 billion in loans per year.
Cawley, who has more than 18 years experience as a mortgage professional saw a great need for a mortgage company on the eastside able to offer the higher level of customer service the residents deserve and expect.
An Executive Vice President of Gold Star Mortgage, Cawley is a 1989 graduate of Grosse Pointe South High School, captain of both the varsity hockey and soccer teams and earned his business degree from Wayne State University.
The new Grosse Pointe office is located at 726 Notre Dame just north of Cadieux and west of Kercheval. For more information call 734-973-7400

Summer boating season is in full swing and so is summer boat stealing season. But a new law enforcement unit in Texas is designed to stem the tide.
Sgt. Ned Nichols is on a mission to combat boat thieves -- checking id numbers and looking for stolen watercraft.
"One of our patrol techniques is come up in these marinas," he said. "You can roll up and down these slips and check boats as you go. You will see one that is tampered with or with a missing number."
And now, Texas Parks and Wildlife is getting him some help, assigning nine game wardens across the state to a new task force called the Marine Investigation Unit. Other wardens will also be trained in what to look for.
"A lot of our boat thieves are fairly sophisticated. They've worked in the boat business before and they know how to tamper with the numbers and they know how to make a stolen boat look good," Sgt. Nichols said. "What we do is we put them through a few extra classes and take them out in the field and show them what to look for."
The numbers are daunting. There are more than 1,300 current cases involving stolen boats and personal watercraft. The recovery rate on a stolen car is 70 to 80 percent, but stolen boats are more like 10 percent.
The new unit is spending a lot of time on Craigslist.
"I'll ask 'em how much did you give for this Jet Ski? It's a nice Jet Ski. And they'll say $500 on Craigslist and it's a Jet Ski that should be going for $3,000, something in that neighborhood. That's a red flag right there," said Martin Oviedo, a game warden.
Stolen watercraft are nearly always sold for cash.
"When these people want to meet you in the Wal-Mart parking lot and they say they'll send you the title later. Don't do it. You need to have the title in hand," Sgt. Nichols said.
Game wardens often learn about the crime once the unsuspecting buyers realize the title isn't coming.
"At that point they contact us and unfortunately one of the guys in our unit has to go seize the boat from them because it's still stolen. They're basically the second victim in the crime," Sgt. Nichols said.

Need help with choosing how to refinish the front of my house
February 12, 2013 in Design Dilemma
I think I have chosen a dark charcoal smoke vinyl split shake siding with the clay color trim. Please help!
I left that out, sorry. I am only residing the front portion. The clay color will remain due to budget. So the front will be changed to charcoal with clay trim. What do you think? Thanks!
February 12, 2013 at 8:28AM Like
I like the colors but I think the front potion will look like it was stuck on. I think you should keep the siding color an trim the same on the entire house. Maybe with a jolt of color in the front door like a steel blue.
Thanks for you thoughts.
February 12, 2013 at 8:47AM Like
Wood peckers have determined we need to reside the front, ;) currently that's cedar planks.

The front doesn't really look like the front to me, from this angle. But have you considered a horticultural design change? That is, use flowers or artistic bushes or plants to outline the perimeter of your home. Speak with a professional landscaper or arborist for ideas.
Landscaping will be completed after the siding. The dark portion needs insulated and is badly in need of a face lift. We don't want to put a ton of $ into this house because we may move in the next few years. I would greatly appreciate siding ideas. Thanks.
February 13, 2013 at 4:22AM Like
I agree with everyone above you need to match the siding on the front to what is on the back to make the house look like both parts belong together. It will dramatically improve the appearance and make the house look twice as large. Paint your front door a contrasting color to emphasizes it so that people are aware that it is the entrance. Even if you just continue your low growing hedge accross the front,on the other side of the steps,and get 2 large pots, placed on either side of your bottom step filled with geraniums it will make a huge impact in brightening up the facade.
Straight A Builders, Inc.
You will need to change your overhangs to white to match the rest of the house also. If budget is restrictive, you could paint it a couple coats. The clay window frames should blend well enough with siding that matches the house, once you remove the cedar trim boards and get clay siding on that section. You would improve the house a lot to add overhangs/eaves on the main section too, but that is a bigger project, maybe for a future time.

Cheating Apps are New Spy Tools Used to Catch Cheaters
The use of spy phone software has helped many people do away with the demanding process of hiring private investigators. The only thing that you need to do is install the spy phone software for Android and customize it to meet your needs. However, it is important to understand that not every mobile phone spy app will work best for you.
How to find a dependable spy app Turn to recommendations Compare features and apps Read user reviews Look at adverts Address your needs precisely
The overwhelming range of spy apps you can download today can easily push you to the wall. Nothing daunting, knowing what you really need the software to do for you will save you a great deal of time and money. A recommendable cell phone spying software is StealthGenie. This is an app that has been known for superb performances.
What you can achieve from StealthGenie
- View visited web pages
- Get location of the cell phone using GPS
- Track sent and received email
- View the photos on the phone
- Listen to calls and surrounding noises
- Access phone book View call logs Read SMS
With all the mentioned capabilities, it is possible for any person with a desire to spy on somebody to achieve the desired goals using StealthGenie or any other spy app offering an equivalent of the features. All in all, it is important to understand that there are a number of steps involved before using the spy phone software.
Inevitable Steps Required
1. Register the best spy phone spy phone software
2. Pay the required fee
3. Create an online account
4. Install the spy phone software for iPhone
5. Start tracking
Registration is the most important step which ought to be done prior to the spy software download. Failure to register the best spy phone software will only confine you to the limited range of features. This will in turn hinder the overall performance in spying. Always register as soon as possible and use correct information.
Second, you need to pay the required fee. This is often done while registering. Always use the payment option you are comfortable with. Additionally, it is imperative to never spend more than you planned for.
Third, create your online account. This is the account on which you will be viewing the data being sent from the cell phone spying software. Create an account using login details that are not known to the people you are spying on.
Fourth, you need to install StealthGenie to the target cell phone. This has to be done discreetly. Make sure that you select features that keep the mobile phone spy app undetectable at all times. Once this is done, you can now use the spy phone software to snoop.

Facebook CEO and COO are going on Good Morning America (GMA) to announce a new life saving tool. I have some guesses as to what that tool might be…
#1 Suicide prevention/ help: Humans are predictable, they generally react the same way and take similar actions. Cutting out friends, posting darker memes, liking darker content. I can figure this out with a full portal of tools and this would make sense.
#2: A Tool to Stop Cyberbully's: Cyber bullying is pretty easily measured and can be eliminated via a reporting tool
#3: Domestic Abuse assistance: This is one of those other, dark side of Social Media situations. Using data from status updates and network action, there are visible trends that can be viewed.
There are a few others but these are the big three I would guess. Given the announcement is coming on the network that airs more specials about bullying than any other, I would guess its the cyber bully prevention tool.

It is that time of year again, a time to give thanks and send out holiday cheer – or in my case, start my annual crusade, albeit localized, to bring about a playoff system in Division I-A football. (I know it is FBS, FBC, FBI or something, but it will always be D I-A to me).
The Columbia County Recreation Department held their end-of-the-year Youth Football Tournament Championship Games Nov. 12 at Greenbrier High for three separate age groups to wrap up another season of football.
The talent in the county seems to be getting better and better. There is certainly more depth today than there ever has been.
Back when I was coming through the recreation department you would have one or two players pretty much carry a team to the championship, and those players would win most every game they played in every age group.
Lakeside High School gave Warner Robins all it could handle before bowing out of the state playoffs with a 42-31 loss on the road Saturday.
The Panthers were in control for most of the game and enjoyed a 31-21 lead entering the fourth quarter, but a couple of costly turnovers helped Warner Robins get the lead.
The Panthers have nothing to hang their heads about. They had a solid season and earn the top spot in my end-of-the-year county rankings.
1. Lakeside
Overall record: (6-5)
Record vs. county rivals: (2-0)
This fall, the Columbia County Recreation Department opened tackle football registration for 6-year-olds for the first time.
The first year for the Pee Wee group seemed like a big success, with several talented young players in the league.
After an 11-game regular season, the CCRD Knights claimed the championship by virtue of a perfect 11-0 season. Now, in a effort of full disclosure, I was one of the coaches and my son was a player for the Knights.
Last week: 5-1
Season total: 45-12 (78.9 percent)
The 2011 football season has come to an end for all but two of our county teams. Lakeside and Augusta Christian will try to carry the torch for the county this Friday night. Both will be on the road, and both will have their hands full with difficult opponents. However, a lot of folks predicted Lakeside would lose to Brunswick, too.
Lakeside (6-4) at Warner Robins (8-2)
Last week: Lakeside beat Brunswick 33-12; Warner Robins beat Lee County 56-14.
Last week: 5-0
Season total: 40-11 (78.4 percent)
Lakeside and Grovetown control their own destinies. Both play at home Friday night, with a state playoff spot on the line. Augusta Christian opens the GISA playoffs with a home game versus Ben Lippen.
Grovetown (6-3, 3-2) vs. Washington County (6-3, 4-1)
Last week: Grovetown lost to Thomson 55-0; WACO beat Cross Creek 56-27.
Last meeting: WACO won last season 48-23.
All-time: WACO leads 1-0.
Last Week: 4-1
Season Total: 35-11 (76.1%)
I came really close last week on every game but one. Richmond Academy's upset of Grovetown I did not see coming.
I did the play-by-play for Grovetown's 31-7 loss to Richmond last season. In that contest, the Musketers simply had too many athletes for Grovetown.
Maybe that game had lingering effects, because that is a game Grovetown should win nine times out of 10.
Columbia County will always be known as a baseball county. However, the boys might have to start sharing the spotlight, as the county continues to build a solid foundation in girls' softball.
Sure, they still have a ways to go to catch up to the 21 state championships the county lays claim to, but progress is being made. Of course, Greenbrier won a state softball crown in 2004 and lost in the championship series a year ago. And 2011 is a huge indicator that things are going in the right directions for Evans and Harlem.
Last week: 6-0
Season Total: 31-10
This week's games
Evans (2-5, 0-3) at Effingham County (1-7, 0-4)
Last week: Evans lost to Statesboro 34-0; Effingham was beaten by Greenbrier 35-28.
Last meeting: Effingham County won last year 38-31.
All-time: Evans holds a 7-5 series lead.
Evans has scored 18.3 points per game and allowed 27.6. Effingham County has scored 14.4 and allowed 27.4.
Evans has lost four straight and desperately needs a victory. I give them a slight edge.
Evans 19, Effingham County 17
Going into the season there were several names that came to mind when I thought about the race for Columbia County Player of the Year.
Greenbrier's Jahvon Hardrick was a no-brainer. Hardrick rushed for just under 1,000 yards as a junior last season and was great during the second half of the season.
Of course, you also had Mark Weidenaar taking over at quarterback for Lakeside. He had missed his entire junior year with an injury, but was sensational for the Panthers as a sophomore.

|Update to Mac OS X Terminal, Part 3
|Still can't get it to work
|2002-06-17 22:46:05
Since upgrading I have not been able to send mail to external mailboxes. As with the last post I already had the 'don'tblameme' set in my sendmail.cf. I tried the suggested simple fix to no avail. I am a novice at this stuff and can't seem to figure out what is wrong. I have cgi sripts that allow users to register for access to my DB. I then send confirming emails. Everything worked fine until I upgraded to 10.1.5. When someone registers to use the database now no email gets sent and the following error message is displayed in the browser
"can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied"
This looks simple enought to fix but I don't have a clue. Does anyone have a suggestion ? If so, please email me at email@example.com

I contacted sendmail.org and the problem I had. I already had done the suggested changes for Don'tblmeme to get sendmail to run the first time in OSX. I was informed that Apple failed to set the set-group-id bit on the sendmail binary. i was also given the following permissions to check as stated in the sendmail security. This solved my problems!
below is the quoted text reply from the sendmail.org folks, a great group people and have always been willing to help this novice user!
"Please check the permissions as stated in sendmail/SECURITY:

Unfortunately, I don't have a fix for you. I can tell you that I got that same error you describe until I ran the 2 net-info commands in /etc/mail/README (you need to run those as root). Now I can send mail out to external mailboxes though still with the annoying warning:
Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE
I'm trying to figure out how to make that go away.

Back At The Dunk Sunday Versus Springfield Falcons
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins defeated the Manchester Monarchs 5-2 Friday evening in front of 8,707 at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. The P-Bruins got their goals from Jordan Knackstedt, Peter Schaefer, Wacey Rabbit and two goals from Johnny Boychuk. The first place P-Bruins are back at home at the Dunkin' Donuts Center Sunday versus the Springfield Falcons at 4:05 p.m. for Adam McQuaid Poster Night.
The P-Bruins took a 1-0 lead at the 5:52 mark of the opening period. Monarchs net minder Daniel Taylor played the puck behind his own net and his pass was picked off by Knackstedt who scored his seventh goal of the season. Providence grabbed a 2-0 advantage at the 6:29 mark of the period. Brad Marchand had the puck in the corner and sent it to Jeff Penner at the point. He found Boychuk who tallied his 12th goal of the season. The P-Bruins went ahead 3-0 at the 6:50 mark. Marchand grabbed the puck and left it for Boychuk at the point. He passed it into the right face off circle, where Schaefer picked it up and netted his seventh goal of the season. Manchester cut the lead to two at the 10:47 mark, while on the power play. Marty Murray tallied his tenth goal of the season, with Matt Moulson and Alec Martinez recorded the assists.

Steven Miller:
Introduction to Ontology Concepts and Terminology
Tutorial: 14:30–18:00 — Monday, 2 September 2013
DC-2013: International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications, Lisbon, Portugal
Abstract: This tutorial provides a beginning-level introduction to basic RDFS and OWL ontology concepts and terminology. It approaches ontology modeling within the context of the RDF data model and the Linked Data and Semantic Web visions, viewing RDFS and OWL ontologies as methods of providing machine-actionable structure to RDF triples. The tutorial focuses on the concepts of classes and subclasses, properties and subproperties, property domains and ranges, class inheritance, and various logical inferencing capabilities that can enable RDF instance data. It includes illustrative examples and an overview of OWL, with its greater potential inferencing power based on various property and class specifications.
