In response to:
I have one question. Who is defining mentally insane? What keeps them from defining it as right wing columnist, those who oppose the President, or anyone who voted Republican in the last election? Seems short sighted to me.
In response to:
Ann just has a crush on Mitt. Mitt is not the conservative we are looking for, but we knew that back in the primaries. He is far superior to Obama though, and should we win the Senate, we should at least be able to do some good.
It would be like someone wanting to be a Christian group that insists David Koresh was a prophet of God. That would be cult, even if they call themselves Christian. Just because Mormonism has stood the test of some time, does not negate its roots. Also, you should remember that God supposedly told Joseph Smith to start the LDS because all the other Christian denominations had gone astray. So Joseph Smith basically called all other forms of Christianity cults or false religions. Now the LDS flip their lids when mainstream Christians do not accept them??? The LDS may be Smithians, but they are not Christians.
However, the writer of Hebrews tells us that in these last days God has spoken to us through a perfect vessel: Hebrews 1:1-2 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. I'm still open to moving in the prophetic today, but from what I can tell, Joseph was a false prophet (e.g. He lusted in his heart so he received a word from God to conveniently excuse his dalliances.) I know Mormons are generally good people, but their insistence on esteeming Joseph Smith is problematic.
Seems I remember the "Danites" might have taken your head off...
If it looks like duck, acts like a duck, and sounds like a duck...
Brian! Excellent response. ;-)
Sorry, but the burden of proof lies with the LDS and they either don't have it or aren't willing to share it.
Joseph Smith was exactly the kind of person who you shouldn't trust his writings. You couldn't trust him around your daughters, you couldn't trust him with your money (as demonstrated in Ohio) -- but you could always trust him to have revelations that benefit him is some way. I'm willing to vote for Romney because the alternative is so bad... However, if I am going to have to listen to Joseph Smith's rewritten history for four or more years, I may just stay home.
RockinRick... so true. The man who was supposed to go as a lamb to the slaughter had a gun and died in a gunfight. As nice as Mormons might be, Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were charlatans.

Last year, First Ascent ski guides Reggie and Zach Crist, along with Lel Tone, Tom Wayes, Lynsey Dyer, Kent McBride, Erik Leidecker, and Lexi duPont covered lots of ground and shredded tons of powder from Tahoe to Alaska.
Photographer Will Wissman landed six photos in the coveted Powder Photo Annual 2011, which is on newsstands now. Four of the shots feature First Ascent ski guide Reggie Crist, and one features First Ascent adventurer Lynsey Dyer.
First Ascent ski guides Reggie and Zach Crist have been enjoying the excellent, early season snow conditions on their home turf in Sun Valley, Idaho. Here's a look at how they're spending the holidays with family and finding fresh powder! Merry Christmas from all of us here at Eddie Bauer First Ascent!
The First Ascent team, including Reggie Crist, Zach Crist and Lynsey Dyer, is heading back to Beaver Creek, CO, Dec. 3-5, to support Birds of Prey—the only men's World Cup ski race event in the United States.
Read more about Will Wissman's photography in The Ski Journal (4.3) that hits newsstands on Dec. 1. By Will Wissman Red Bull Illume (RBI) is touted as the world's premier action and adventure sports photography competition.

Park Service to work with a manufacturer to design quieter equipment or bring down the price on existing quiet equipment. Shop and field verification can ensure compliance with noise specifications.
After going over the major points, Cooper opened up the session for discussion. Participants wondered whether procurements are limited to American-made products, which would impede the use of EU guidelines, but it was pointed out that many products made for sale in the European Union are also made by American manufacturers. Products assembled in the United States may also be allowable under the Buy America provisions.4 EPA has some rules in effect for purchasing quiet products, and the Park Service could work with the agency to create or enforce purchasing criteria. A complete inventory of NPS equipment would enable the Park Service to set targets and track noise performance over time.
Several options were mentioned for enhancing NPS staff awareness of noise levels. Participants discussed the value of setting up long-term noise monitoring stations in the parks to track progress and pointed out that it would be important to differentiate between disruptive noises and appropriate sounds. Labels on equipment would raise awareness by, for example, reminding users that a chainsaw can sometimes be heard two miles away. In Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park the management teams took generals from a nearby base into the backcountry so they could hear the impact of their jets.
There was general agreement that having choices and being informed helps visitors to feel that they are in control of their options; an Air Force study done in cooperation with NPS demonstrated that warning people about noise ahead of time raised their tolerance of it. Thus a website could list the location(s) of noisy operations on a daily basis so that visitors can avoid those areas.
Participants also discussed tracking visitor movement and noise exposure. Providing visitors with GPS trackers can be useful, but that strategy would need to be combined with reliable acoustic monitoring. Cell phones with sound-level meter applications are an option, but many attendees expressed concern about their accuracy. Another participant pointed out that letting people report their perceived noise

Early Friday afternoon, the bat signal went off, but this time it was for a Canes basketball commit.
— Eric Konkol (@CoachKonkol) June 27, 2014
Jim Larranaga and his staff received yet another transfer, this time it was Joe Thomas from Niagara University, the school announced Friday. Thomas is a 6'7" 235 pound forward, that is in his 5th year of eligibility, which means he's allowed to come in and play immediately. Thomas averaged 3.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in 30 games last season for the Purple Eagles.
Miami has also landed Kamari Murphy via transfer this offseason, but he will have to sit out the 2014-2015 season. Thomas gives the Canes the immediate boost to the front court they were looking for after losing James Kelly to transfer and Donnovan Kirk to graduation.
The staff will call upon Thomas to pair up with Tonye Jekiri and newcomers, Omar Sherman and Ivan Cruz Uceda as the teams main front court options. It remains to be seen how many minutes Thomas will play over those guys, but this appears to be like a depth move by the Canes and the staff.

'Casablanca' gala to benefit new program sponsored by Del Mar Community Connections
An Evening in Casablanca, a benefit gala for Del Mar Community Connections, will be held Saturday, Oct. 15, in St. Peter's Parish Hall, with all the elements of "Rick's Café Americain" from the iconic 1942 movie in evidence.
The 6 to 10 p.m. event will begin with cocktails, followed by a Moroccan-inspired dinner by Sbicca, a live auction, and dancing to the '40s-era music of Randy Fontaine & the Swingers. Cocktail or '40s attire is suggested.
Tickets are $125 per person and, notes Julie Iantorno, chair, space is limited. "It's not too late to become a member of the Honorary Committee, at $1,000, which includes two tickets," she adds.
Rosanne Holliday and Linda Katz, Honorary Committee chairs, have recruited more than 36 community leaders to serve on the Honorary Committee, each contributing $1,000 or greater.
Funds raised from this year's gala will benefit Del Mar Community Connections's "In-Home Connections," a unique program designed to help seniors remain safe and healthy in their homes. Individual client needs are met by providing friendly visits, transportation to medical appointments, prescription pick-up, grocery shopping, social events and more.
For more information, contact Julie Iantorno at 858 245-7178.

- Article (4)
- Part of a Book (1)
- A genome-wide scan for common alleles affecting risk for autism (2010)
- Although autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have a substantial genetic basis, most of the known genetic risk has been traced to rare variants, principally copy number variants (CNVs). To identify common risk variation, the Autism Genome Project (AGP) Consortium genotyped 1558 rigorously defined ASD families for 1 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and analyzed these SNP genotypes for association with ASD. In one of four primary association analyses, the association signal for marker rs4141463, located within MACROD2, crossed the genome-wide association significance threshold of P < 5 3 10 exp -8. When a smaller replication sample was analyzed, the risk allele at rs4141463 was again over-transmitted; yet, consistent with the winner's curse, its effect size in the replication sample was much smaller; and, for the combined samples, the association signal barely fell below the P < 5 3 10 exp -8 threshold. Exploratory analyses of phenotypic subtypes yielded no significant associations after correction for multiple testing. They did, however, yield strong signals within several genes, KIAA0564, PLD5, POU6F2, ST8SIA2 and TAF1C.
- Individual common variants exert weak effects on the risk for autism spectrum disorders (2012)
- While it is apparent that rare variation can play an important role in the genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), the contribution of common variation to the risk of developing ASD is less clear. To produce a more comprehensive picture, we report Stage 2 of the Autism Genome Project genome-wide association study, adding 1301 ASD families and bringing the total to 2705 families analysed (Stages 1 and 2). In addition to evaluating the association of individual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we also sought evidence that common variants, en masse, might affect the risk. Despite genotyping over a million SNPs covering the genome, no single SNP shows significant association with ASD or selected phenotypes at a genome-wide level. The SNP that achieves the smallest P-value from secondary analyses is rs1718101. It falls in CNTNAP2, a gene previously implicated in susceptibility for ASD. This SNP also shows modest association with age of word/phrase acquisition in ASD subjects, of interest because features of language development are also associated with other variation in CNTNAP2. In contrast, allele scores derived from the transmission of common alleles to Stage 1 cases significantly predict case status in the independent Stage 2 sample. Despite being significant, the variance explained by these allele scores was small (Vm< 1%). Based on results from individual SNPs and their en masse effect on risk, as inferred from the allele score results, it is reasonable to conclude that common variants affect the risk for ASD but their individual effects are modest.
- Genome-wide transcriptional profiling of skin and dorsal root Ganglia after ultraviolet-B-induced inflammation (2014)
- Ultraviolet-B (UVB)-induced inflammation produces a dose-dependent mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia in both humans and rats, most likely via inflammatory mediators acting at the site of injury. Previous work has shown that the gene expression of cytokines and chemokines is positively correlated between species and that these factors can contribute to UVB-induced pain. In order to investigate other potential pain mediators in this model we used RNA-seq to perform genome-wide transcriptional profiling in both human and rat skin at the peak of hyperalgesia. In addition we have also measured transcriptional changes in the L4 and L5 DRG of the rat model. Our data show that UVB irradiation produces a large number of transcriptional changes in the skin: 2186 and 3888 genes are significantly dysregulated in human and rat skin, respectively. The most highly up-regulated genes in human skin feature those encoding cytokines (IL6 and IL24), chemokines (CCL3, CCL20, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3 and CXCL5), the prostanoid synthesising enzyme COX-2 and members of the keratin gene family. Overall there was a strong positive and significant correlation in gene expression between the human and rat (R = 0.8022). In contrast to the skin, only 39 genes were significantly dysregulated in the rat L4 and L5 DRGs, the majority of which had small fold change values. Amongst the most up-regulated genes in DRG were REG3B, CCL2 and VGF. Overall, our data shows that numerous genes were up-regulated in UVB irradiated skin at the peak of hyperalgesia in both human and rats. Many of the top up-regulated genes were cytokines and chemokines, highlighting again their potential as pain mediators. However many other genes were also up-regulated and might play a role in UVB-induced hyperalgesia. In addition, the strong gene expression correlation between species re-emphasises the value of the UVB model as translational tool to study inflammatory pain.
- Using high resolution digital aerial imagery interpreted in a 3-D digital GIS environment to map predefined plant communities in central-southern New South Wales (2012)
- Aerial photo interpretation of high resolution airborne imagery (ADS40) was used in a three-dimensional (3-D) digital Geographic Information System (GIS) environment to map native plant communities defined in the NSW Vegetation Classification and Assessment (NSW VCA) in central-southern New South Wales. NSW VCA plant community types form part of the NSW BioMetric vegetation type dataset underpinning NSW natural resource management (NRM) planning frameworks. This region was previously devoid of detailed vegetation mapping. In addition to developing a novel method for mapping plant communities, the use of ADS40 imagery allowed for capture of multiple attributes in each map polygon including attributes pertaining to dominant species and vegetation condition. Such data informs multi-attribute models used in conservation planning, providing utility beyond that of a singular plant community map. A total of 546,150 hectares of native vegetation in 100 native plant communities was mapped across the study area (Coolamon, Cootamundra, Junee, Lockhart, Narrandera, Tarcutta, Urana, Wagga Wagga and Yanco 1:100,000 mapsheets and Ariah Park, Wallaroobie Range and Yoogali 1:50,000 mapsheets). Exotic pine plantations and native species plantings were also mapped. Remnants of greater than one hectare were captured through on-screen GIS digitising at scales of approximately 1:4,000. The plant community type mapping was independently assessed using random blind validation points as having a user accuracy of 87%. This level of accuracy demonstrates the applicability of the methodology for mapping open forests, woodlands and open woodlands of south-eastern Australia and probably other vegetation elsewhere. Such accurate mapping provides end users with confidence when using vegetation maps in environmental assessment and land use planning.

So my meeting today was in Lansing, MI and was directly beside the capitol building :)
I panicked twice trying to get to the meeting from my hotel: once when I saw how many round-abouts I had to drive thru (small town girl here) and a second when there was no parking. WHY IS THERE NEVER ANY PARKING IN CITIES?! I found meters but they were only for 90min, not good for my 8hr meeting. And they didn't have coin slots…just a number on them. I immedately called Matt (I know, I know..but he's from a big city so I thought he might know how they work) and then finally drove all around till I found a parking garage, a.k.a. city robbery.
While walking around the capitol district trying to find somewhere for lunch, I realized that I am a 25yr old woman dressed in my sharpest suit with polished hair and makeup and anyone looking at me might think I actually belong here. They had no clue that I was staring at all the street performers behind my sunglasses and would rather stand and watch them than eat lunch. They didn't realize that I panicked over city driving or that I really wanted to sneak pictures of the capitol building (which I totally did).
Then I started wondering how many of them don't feel like real adults and don't feel like they belong but they're hoping to fake it long enough to make it through their day.
Anyway, I was also hoping to meet Bryanna (you-bury-me.tumblr.com) because she goes to MSU in Lansing but then she said she's already home for the summer :( sooo….blah. No awkward, shy tumblr meet up for me. Now if I can find my way out of the city during rush hour then I can begin my 3+ hour drive home.

Many of the presenters offered illustrations of individual-level energy-balance behavior embedded within a nested set of influences, including the home, organizations, and the physical and policy environments. Presenters focused in detail on different aspects of the food environment and the built environment for physical activity and their influences on energy balance, but it is also necessary to consider the broader picture. What people consume appears to be influenced by a wide array of factors, including availability and convenience, food and nutrition knowledge, agricultural policies, economic incentives, marketing messages, family and cultural customs and preferences, and individual physiology. How and when people engage in physical activity is influenced by many of the same factors, and by the nature of the built environment where they live and work, their public transportation options, and more. Presenters made clear that the various influences on energy balance are important, although they may be difficult to isolate. Furthermore, several presenters emphasized that sectors that may appear to be unrelated to health actually may be relevant and important to efforts to reduce obesity rates.
Measurement strategies and techniques are a critical foundation for research, McKinnon observed, adding that a study may be well-designed and data rigorously analyzed, but if the basic measures, the assessment tools, are not valid and reliable, true associations between exposures and outcomes may not be understood. A relatively recent review of measures of the food and physical activity environments notes that although much progress has been made, further progress is needed (McKinnon et al., 2009). For example, it suggests that refinement of the measurements of environments in low-income and high-risk communities is needed, as are increased rates of validity and reliability testing and/or reporting. Progress since that report was published includes advancement and refinement in geographic analyses, as well as improvements in measures of the food and physical activity environments. The number of studies assessing the association between the food environment and health and dietary behaviors, in particular, has increased substantially in recent years. Nonetheless, there is still a relative paucity of measures with which to systematically measure policies and policy change.
The workshop presentations reflected both these issues and this progress. McKinnon observed that fairly good individual-level measures of diet and physical activity exist, and that environmental measures in these areas are developing that use, for example, surveys, geographic information systems (GIS), diaries, or universal product code (UPC) scanning.

Discover a New Financial World
- Friday, October 06, 2006
When we give, we become less selfish. When we are less selfish, we become free.
Saving money
Saving money must be done for provisional purposes. "In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has" (Proverbs 21:20 - NIV). Wise people don't spend everything they make. Here are some benefits to saving money:
1. You feel less pressure to earn.
2. You feel good about the way God is developing your character.
3. You can respond to giving opportunities.
God wants us to manage what we receive from Him. Earthly riches are God's blessings and can be the source of great joy, but we need to be very careful that this does not become the source of our hope. For some, saving is tricky because it can lead us to have a hoarding mentality or other negative attitude regarding saving money:
1. saving money as a measure of success
2. feelings of security from wealth
3. love of money
4. personal esteem and self-worth
Notice how the three things you can do with money (spending, saving, and sharing) all interact with one another. It all starts with limiting your lifestyle and spending less than you make -- allowing you to both share and save. Doing so will bring you much closer to discovering your new financial world. And you won't have to sail halfway around the world to do it.

Redbubble posters are a lot like space travel.
In that they're completely brilliant, however unlike space travel they're quite sensibly priced.
They are a handy way to make very dull walls, ceilings and spaceships look infinitely better.
Tack them to your bedroom door, or frame one above the mantlepiece.
They're adaptable, efficient and bold and really it's amazing you've managed to go so long without picking one up.
They are printed on 185gsm semi gloss poster paper and custom cut to three
maximum sizes – A2, A1 & A0. This includes a 5mm white border
to assist in framing.

For the last two seasons, Wilson Valdez logged more playing time and plate appearances than any member of the Phillies' bench. Those days have come to an end as the veteran utilityman has been shipped to Cincinnati for 26-year-old southpaw Jeremy Horst.
Beerleaguer: Unless the Phillies have unexplainable faith in Michael Martinez to support three fragile spots in the infield, this could signal a pending move. A player like Jeff Keppinger, for example, who was non-tendered by the Giants, comes to mind as the type of available, cheap, decent hitter the Phils have lacked from their utility department. Valdez specialized in terrific bench defense at three positions, but at the cost of a .249/.294/.341 line last season. He was an underrated culprit behind the Phillies' offensive malaise these last two seasons; he stepped to the pate 663 times in two years due to injuries suffered by Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Placido Polanco. They're all a year older, so the utility vacancy shouldn't be taken lightly.
Valdez was set to earn $930K, so the Phils earn back some wiggle room in their budget. Which might have been the whole point of this and nothing more. However, I do see the Phils shifting away from the all-glove-no-bat strategy with their utilitymen and trying to pick up extra offense however they can, even if it means having Ty Wigginton slide into the utility spot after he's done subbing for Ryan Howard. Kevin Frandsen, Pete Orr and Freddy Galvis also become more interesting discussions this spring.
Horst, 26, made 12 relief appearances for the Reds last year and went 0-0 with a 2.93 ERA. He spent most of the season with Triple-A Louisville, where he posted a 1-4 record with a 2.81 ERA and 42/14 K/BB in 36 games (51 1-3) innings, while holding opposing hitters to a .219 batting average. Dozens of Triple-A lefties can say the same thing. His non-roster status speaks volumes.
The Phillies are now at 38 players on their 40-man roster.

Amanda Bynes is an accident waiting to happen ... and cops fear it could be fatal. So we gotta ask ...
If we users were judges, we'd probably have every celeb on here jailed. Just to stop the madness.
if you think weed is just as bad as alcohol while driving are just nuts. alcohol impairs your driving 10X what weed does.
lol i smell a lawsuit coming on when you defame someone by posting a 2 answer poll when 2 answer is substance abuse and the other answer is mental illness
just to prove my point....does harvey levin like it: 1) in the mouth? 2) in the butt
Girlfriend is an accident the paps are waiting to happen,,, that's why they are tailing her all over town for the million$ pics of the crash scene, instead of, like calling the police...
I am not a mental health professional but I do have a lot of experience with drug users and their behaviour. Usually people that suffer from metal illness will turn to drug use as a way to numb themselves. In Amanda's case she seems to be in a manic state, which can be sometimes cannabis induced. however i must point out that there could be anything in that pipe, pipe use does not limit itself to maryjane.
She should be hospitalized and not in some joke of a rehab. It seems that she has a serious condition and given the standard of rehab facilities which are often get-out-of-jail-hotels she needs a real hospital with real doctors.
As for acting. Forget it. The industri must focus on healtier conditions for their workers. Stop hiring young people known only for their ability to create scandals while they are off-screen.
There are hardworking people out there ready to pull their weight.
This is beyond frustrating. TMZ - If you have a pap on her, tell them to call the cops if they see her driving. You guys can actually do something besides report about her recklessness.
You talk about it being scary having her on the road. Then do something...
LMAO at the 3700 people at time of post who think Pot is as dangerous as booze. The ignorance or buy in on the propaganda is astounding.
THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK POT IS AS DANGEROUS AS BOOZE ARE FREAKING MORONS! There has still yet to be any overdose on pot while alcohol is responsible for not only deaths, but jail sentences.
Lol at Who's a safer driver, Amanda or Lohan? I knew TMZ was going to give two wrong choices. But in this case, sad to say, Lohan is a better driver, lollll.
She should look into hiring Britney Spears' dad Jamie.
I cannot answer the question Linsay vs. Amanda for designated driver. There is no good answer and is a zero sum question. Both of these chicks need to stay off the roads.
I don't think it's just pot in there. I think she's smoking stupidity. No seriously, I think it's not just pot that she is smoking.
Phishie from Philly
Maybe she has a little PCP mixed with her pot.

Full Disclosure
mailing list archives
From: "Muhammad Faisal Rauf Danka" <mfrd () attitudex com>
Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 16:32
Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Symantec Buys SecurityFocus, among others..
. I mean what do they mean by the vulnerabilities they find ?
I think we are talking about two different things here -- vulnerabilities
reported via BUGTRAQ, and vulnerabilities found elsewhere (internal
research, priviledged access, whatever). Vulnerabilities reported via
BUGTRAQ will still be published on BUGTRAQ, in the same timely way it has
always been. The others... they might take longer to make it to BUGTRAQ.
This is actually not different from what most of those here (us?) do -- when
we receive priviledged information on a vulnerability (or when we find one),
most of us will maintain secrecy for some time -- so that we can contact the
vendor, work out a bypass, play of being a black hat, whatever. At least, we
will NOT publish it until we can verify it's authenticity.
. What they do is just moderate the damn list, and stop slipping useful
. vulnerability details about Microsoft and alike.. wtf?
Hold the fire, folks. Make sure it is an enemy you are firing on.
Give them time. Symantec is a business, yes, but being a business is not
identical to being stupid. The value of BUGTRAQ lies in it's history of
being fair. Elias, and now Dave, have always done a very good job on the
moderation. We may not always agree with them (I myself have had -- under
other encarnations -- difference on points of view with Elias), but it is
their right, since they are the moderators.
. looks like another one bites the dust.
Again, please remember -- if Symantec decides to censor BUGTRAQ... they will
have killed it in a more effective way than any other. BUGTRAQ is followed
not because it is SecurityFocus, but because it is BUGTRAQ. If BUGTRAQ will
bite the dust, or not, will (hopefully) depend on what Symantec forces in. I
certainly hope it will not die because of what one thinks it is, or is not.
This would be pure prejudice.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Information and Resources
How Clean Is Your House?
How to Clean House: Wet Rooms
Wet rooms -- the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room -- ideally need cleaning twice a week or so, Townley Ewer says, depending on your family size. And because you use similar cleaning products in wet rooms, scrubbing them all at once can save time over switching back and forth between wet and dry.
Forget specialty cleaners, too, says Townley Ewer, and get basic products that will do double duty. Degreasers, scouring powders, and soap scum removers work for kitchen and bath, for example. Another timesaver: "Put everything in a tote or a bucket," she says. "You have all the tools and equipment to clean the room in one place."
How to Clean House: Dry Rooms
In dry rooms, the enemy there is dust. Vacuuming is most important, as well as laundering bedding to keep down the dust mite population. Once a week may be enough, depending on how many animals and kids you have.
In the family or TV rooms, equipment such as DVD players and the cable box get dusty fast, says Townley Ewer, due to static charge. "Your tools for dry room cleaning are the vacuum and electrostatic dry cleaning cloths." They'll both cut through the dust.
Another time-saving tip: "Start at the top, such as the ceiling fan," then work your way to the bottom. Otherwise, you clean the whole room, turn on the dusty ceiling fan, and all that work is for naught, she says.
How to Clean House: Get Modern
Once your daily and weekly cleaning is under control, you can focus on seasonal cleaning. And it doesn't have to involve a Herculean effort, Townley Ewer says. "The reason for spring cleaning 75 years ago was coal and oil heating sources," she says. The buildup would make any house dirty. "If you have a modern house, there is no need for that kind of cleaning," she says.
Instead, focus on moving furniture and dusting or vacuuming behind it, hard polishing the furniture and cabinets, she says.
How to Clean House: Products Matter
Good old soap and water is often viewed as an ideal cleaner, but not so, maintains Philip Tierno, Jr., PhD, director of clinical microbiology and immunology at the New York University Medical Center, associate professor of microbiology and pathology at the NYU School of Medicine, and author of The Secret Life of Germs.
"Soap doesn't kill bacteria," Tierno tells WebMD. The best way to kill everything, in his opinion, is a mixture of bleach and water, following manufacturer instructions.
In the kitchen, use a disinfectant cleaner spray every time you clean up, ideally once a day, suggests Charles Gerba, PhD, professor of soil, water and environmental science at the University of Arizona, who has long studied germs in the home and office environments. Use it in the bathroom, too, he says, as the kitchen and bath are two of the germiest rooms in the house.

Customer Reviews
- Review by Alex S.
I thought it might be a bit louder than it can get but the good news is that even on max Volume it does not seem to distort the sounds. My tablet has almost no bass volume so this fills that void but other than that sound is fairly comparable to my tablets speakers. It also seems like the bluetooth connection drops for 1-2 seconds rarely. I go whole songs without noticing it but it definitely occurs on a fairly regular basis. Just a limitation of bluetooth? IDK ive never had a bluetooth speaker before so have little to compare but my cars hands free system uses bluetooth to sync with my phone and that never seems to break up.
For those not inclined to read instructions, The volume is controller by HOLDING DOWN the respective volume button you wish to use. If you repeatedly press it like you might expect to it will try to control whatever bluetooth device you have hooked up to it. I thought this thing couldnt get much louder than a phone speaker until I made that discovery. (Posted on 7/26/2014)
- Review by Kevin F.
Cons: The only thing bad I can say about it is do not put it on anything high like a table with no edges or on top of someone's car. The bass on this little thing is actually pretty good which causes it to bounce around a bit during heavy bass songs and twice I saw it fall off tables due to this.
Other Thoughts: I will say this that I DO NOT OWN one of these speakers but someone at my last party had one and this thing really cranked out the tunes and even had some pretty high quality for such a small thing. Even outside it sounded like a normal set of exterior speakers instead of a small portable unit. (Posted on 7/26/2014)

Launched on Feb. 11, 2010, the Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, is the most advanced spacecraft ever designed to study the sun. During its five-year mission, it will examine the sun's atmosphere, magnetic field and also provide a better understanding of the role the sun plays in Earth's atmospheric chemistry and climate. SDO provides images with resolution 8 times better than high-definition television and returns more than a terabyte of data each day. On June 5 2012, SDO collected images of the rarest predictable solar event--the transit of Venus across the face of the sun. The last transit was in 2004 and the next will not happen until 2117. The videos and images displayed here are constructed from several wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light and a portion of the visible spectrum. The red colored sun is the 304 angstrom ultraviolet, the golden colored sun is 171 angstrom, the magenta sun is 1700 angstrom, and the orange sun is filtered visible light. 304 and 171 show the atmosphere of the sun, which does not appear in the visible part of the spectrum.

AMBER Alert
The AMBER Alert plan has been expanded in Utah to include electronic roadway signs (See maps of UDOT electronic signs and AMBER Alert business sign locations), pagers and other methods to alert the public. It has proven to be an effective way to quickly inform the public about serious child abduction cases. Utah's AMBER Alert Plan is tested each year on January 13 and August 26 to make sure the alerts are immediate and effective. Our goal is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and safe return of abducted children.
The AMBER Alert is part of the nationwide AMBER Plan, a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies and broadcasters. The plan utilizes the Emergency Alert System and other means to notify the public about a missing child and a suspected abductor. The child abduction alert was originally called the Rachael Alert in Utah.

I interviewed Todd Hasak-Lowy, translator of Netanya by Dror Burstein, published today by Dalkey Archive Press. Our translator brings us this work from Hebrew, a novel about a man lying on a bench and meditating on the stars.
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I am a writer, teacher, and translator. In addition to my translations, I've published a short story collection, a novel, and a children's book. My first young adult novel will be published in early 2015. I teach creative writing, mainly at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
How did you first discover Dror Burstein's work?
I had heard a lot about Dror's writing, and I owned a couple of his books (but hadn't gotten around to reading them). I had even met him once in Tel Aviv. But I only first started reading him when the Institute for the Translation of Hebrew Literature approached me to ask if I'd be interested in translating Netanya. I had already translated Asaf Schurr's Motti for them, but I was some confident (and maybe even hopeful) at the time that I wouldn't translate again. I wanted to focus on my own work. Nevertheless, I printed out about 30 pages of the .pdf they sent me, planning to read it and compose a polite email to decline their offer. Unfortunately, when I started reading I immediately said to myself, Crap, this is really, really good.
What is the most unusual thing you learned while translating Netanya?
I learned a lot about astronomy and the history of planet earth. It's an unusual book in that way.
If you could give a young translator one piece of advice, what would it be?
Only agree to translate things you truly love. Otherwise, the work is that and that only. And it's too slow and requires too much attention and focus to be done solely for a paycheck.
How did you get started translating?
I was in Israel on a fellowship in 2008, and I read Asaf Schurr's novel Motti. I was truly struck by it and contacted the publisher in order to hear if there were any plans to have it translated into English. But I wasn't at that stage thinking I might translate it. I was merely thinking I could perhaps put Asaf into contact with my agent in the States, or something along those lines. I wound up meeting Asaf and we became friends. A few months later, he asked me if I'd consider providing a sample translation. They wound up asking me to translate the entire novel. I had just gotten tenure and thought it might be an interesting exercise. I didn't plan on making it a regular activity, but that seems to be what has happened.
What book are you raving about right now?
I really loved Ben Fountain's novel Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. It's a smart, funny, beautifully written book, which also has a lot to say about the United States in the early 21st century. Other recent favorites: Ben Lerner's Leaving the Atocha Station, George Saunders' Tenth of December, and Padgett Powell's The Interrogative Mood.
Which literary character are you passionately in love with? Which is your nemesis? Which is your best friend?
I don't really ever connect to characters in that way. Maybe because I'm a writer. I tend to get attached to the narrators, even or especially the disembodied ones. Actually, the grandfather in Dror's novel (which is maybe a memoir as well), meaning Dror's real-life grandfather, he has stuck with me.
Which are the literary giants, be they translators or otherwise, that you look up to and turn to for inspiration?
I'm not sure I turn to literary figures for inspiration. I try to use the world and maybe some belief in the possibilities of my imagination to make it (i.e. the world) come alive for inspiration, if that makes any sense at all. But there are certainly writers I admire deeply. The Israeli writer Yaakov Shabtai was the writer whose work made me feel I needed to write as well. George Saunders is both a remarkable writer and from what I can tell a fine human being, and as a father and a husband I'm trying very hard to have my life as an artist not warp my life as a person. I return to David Foster Wallace's work on a pretty regular basis. And I admire both Lydia Davis and Haruki Mirakami, in part because I know both of them are translators as well. There are times when I feel like I shouldn't be translating because it takes away from my own writing. But their examples suggest that this needn't be true.
Which author or translator do you think is overlooked or underrated?
I think translators are necessarily overlooked, for better or for worse. But as for writers, well, who's not overlooked? We're almost all overlooked, to the point that most of us aren't "rated" at all. I've found that you can't have enough humility as a writer (I could certainly use more), and translating, that is, placing oneself in the service of someone else's writing, that teaches humility. It's one of the oddly and perhaps foolishly selfish reasons I translate—it reminds me that sometimes I must work for the sake of someone else's art.
Finish this sentence: You should check out Netanya because…
It will do things no book you've read before has done. It will make you realize just how needlessly obedient most books are to current literary trends and conventions.
Thanks so much for your time!
Dear readers, you should check out Netanya today!

Interview by Gina Rodriguez
I interviewed Drago Jančar, who wrote the preface to this year's edition of Best European Fiction Series from Dalkey Archive. Aleksandar Hemon has edited the anthology since 2010.
Drago studied law and has worked as a journalist, an editor in a publishing house, and a freelance writer. He's been described as "the seismologist of a chaotic history." He has won several literary prizes, among them Le Prix Européen de Littérature, Strasbourg 2011.
1. What was your contribution to this collection? What was the hardest part? The easiest?
The book has an editor, Aleksandar Hemon; it represents his view of contemporary European short fiction. I only wrote the Preface. It was not a difficult task, I enjoyed reading the book, it was interesting for me. Also, for me as a reader and a writer, it was a powerful experience; a unique view into the part of the European literature we are not familiar with. Hemon chose some well-known writers but I have also encountered many new authors. It was good to get acquainted with writing from the places, especially in the Eastern Europe, which have experienced such profound social changes in the last two decades.
2. How is the 2014 edition of this anthology different from or similar to previous editions?
The concept of "discovering" lesser known authors from different parts of Europe is similar to previous editions. A lot of the stories in the new edition share an interest for everyday human stories, which are by no means marginal. Their narrative intensity brings us closer to individuals, who live on the margins of expansive changes which are taking place in Europe. The crisis we are experiencing at the moment is not just economic; it is also the crisis of ethics. We have to ask ourselves very basic questions: how do we live today in different parts of Europe, what is awaiting us?
3. What is the most unusual piece of writing or information that you came across while reading this anthology?
Nothing is unusual in good literature, nothing ordinary. All the stories are unique and all are extraordinary.
4. If you could give a young writer one piece of advice, what would it be?
5. Which book are you excited about right now?
I am most excited about the book I am working on at the moment.
As far as other people's books are concerned … I am reading a book of a dear friend Karl-Markus Gauss, entitled Das Erste was ich sah / The First Thing I Saw. It is about discovering the world through a child's eyes; melancholy writing, which also has some irony.
6. Which are the literary giants that you look up to and turn to for inspiration in your own work?
The list is very long. I like to read Albert Camus, Danilo Kiš, Hermann Broch, Alfred Döblin, Knut Hamsun, William Faulkner over and over again …
7. Finish this sentence: You should read Best European Fiction 2014 because …
… you will come across stories you never knew existed.
Thanks for sharing this backstory with us, Drago! I'm really looking forward to tearing into this new edition. I was lucky enough to discover an incredible Hilary Mantel story through a previous edition, so who knows what I'll find this time around?
As for you, reader, you better hurry on over to our Riffle World Literature page and see what else you've been missing!
Interview by Gina Rodriguez
I interviewed Kazim Ali, a poet, essayist, fiction writer, and the translator of The Oasis of Now, out from BOA Editions on November 5, 2013.
He previously translated Water's Footfall by Sohrab Sepehri (Omnidawn Press, 2011), and (with Libby Murphy) L'amour by Marguerite Duras (Open Letter Books, 2013).
1. How did you first discover Sohrab Sepehri's work?
My father had been working in Iran and he brought back several books of poetry by Iranian writers. I was dissatisfied with the translation thought the beauty of the poetry enamored me. It was many more years before I met Jafar Mahallati who worked with me to understand the Farsi so I could make a new translation.
2. What is the most unusual thing you learned while translating this book?
Sepehri is an incredibly complex thinker. He is intimately connected to the natural world and often times his language would be very simple but the thinking so dizzyingly complicated. We would have constant rushes of inspiration and be struck speechless by the beauty of his thought. The whole world is animated in Sepehri's view. He was hard to keep up with.
3. How does translation inform your work as a poet?
I share a mystical bent with Sepehri. Christopher Nelson, a poet, once described "mystical" to me as "that which moves beyond the senses." I like this because the mystical poet is one concerned very much with the real and present material world, but he knows there is so much about the world we barely perceive and know with the physical senses. Sepehri was very much my teacher in this—he taught me that inquiry is constant and has its own deep pleasures.
4. I see that both you and Mohammad Jafar Mahallati worked on translating this book. Could you comment on what it's like for two translators to be working with the same author's text?
We had a wonderful time. Jafar would read the Farsi out loud to me and then explain it out. I would take notes, ask questions, suggest lines. I would make a rough draft crib of the poem and often times it would be covered with notes. When I revised according to our conversations I would send him the final versions and he would provide small comments. But mostly it happened in person, in conversation.
5. If we were visiting your hometown, what would be the one place we'd have to check out?
You would have to come to my house for a meal. I would prepare a wonderful vegan feast. My partner Marco Wilkinson grows many of the ingredients in our garden and also forages for wild foods. Perhaps I would make a chicken-of-the-woods mushroom and potato stew. Later we could sit in the living room and play a game of chess. I'm not very skilled a player but I enjoy the deep concentration on a limited space that the game requires, much like poetry!
6. Which are the literary giants that you look up to and turn to for inspiration?
Among poets, Mahmoud Darwish, Yannis Ritsos, Agha Shahid Ali, Lucille Clifton, Emily Dickinson, Jorie Graham, Jean Valentine. There are probably other names that should go on that list.
7. Which author or translator do you think is overlooked or underrated?
I have recently completed two new translations myself. One is of a book called When the Night Agrees to Speak to Me by Ananda Devi, a writer from Mauritius. Mauritius is an island off the coast of Africa which was a colonial territory of first the French and then the British. Under the French many people from India were brought to Mauritius to work in the sugarcane plantations. As a result there is a multilingual hybrid culture there of African, Indian, French and English. Devi is of Indian origin and writes in French. She is widely published in French but not as widely translated and published in English. It was a pleasure to work on this project. I began it when I was visiting Pondicherry, one of the French-speaking parts of India, and completed it while in Kerala, in a town on the Arabian Sea.
I've also completed a translation of Cristina Peri Rossi's first book of poetry, Evohe. Peri Rossi is a Uruguayan writer who published many books of poetry and fiction. She has a very simple and elegant style, very direct and musical. It was a pleasure to translate her work and I wish more of it was translated.
8. Finish this sentence: You should check out The Oasis of Now because…
Sepehri is one of the major Iranian poets of the twentieth century. Iranian poetry is just now becoming known in the United States and so this is a great opportunity for American people to learn more about the rich culture and literature of this dynamic and vibrant and ancient civilization!
Thanks for chatting with us, Kazim! I would definitely join for a game of chess (though my skills are nothing to brag about).
You should check out Kazim Ali's other books, which include several volumes of poetry, including Sky Ward, The Far Mosque, winner of Alice James Books' New England/New York Award, The Fortieth Day, and the cross-genre text Bright Felon: Autobiography and Cities. His novels include Quinn's Passage, named one of "The Best Books of 2005" by Chronogram magazine and The Disappearance of Seth; his books of essays include Orange Alert: Essays on Poetry, Art and the Architecture of Silence.
You should visit Kazim Ali's website to read more.
Then read more world literature in Riffle!

If you like Russell Brand, or even if you don't like Russell Brand but DO like things like the Easter Bunny and Easter Bunny-related movies and post-structuralism and discussions of infinity as these relate to mommy bloggers, you should check out this interview over at Her Bad Mother.
An excerpt:
Russell Brand: 'Mummy Bloggers' sounds like a nice saying. What if… it becomes so incorporated into language, so people would just use it normally? "There's a Mummy Blogger outside! For heaven's sake, help her!"
Me: Or, in your case… "I was tackled by a horde of Mommy Bloggers!"
Russell Brand: "I was having a lovely time with some Mummy Bloggers and you've ruined a perfectly lovely day."
Me: You're turning it into "mummy," though.
Me: We have been informed that the rabbit (in the movie) wasn't real. Now, is this or is this not true?
Russell Brand: In your position as Mummy Bloggers, it's important to keep up the idea that (SPOILER ALERT) the Easter Bunny is real. I temporarily possessed him. Is that weird?
Then I kissed him, the end. And that's how bad moms do celebrity interviews, people. WATCH AND LEARN.
