As careers in science, technology, engineering, and math become more prevalent, community colleges are shifting their focus to meet demand and secure their place in a rapidly changing educational landscape.
A recent study reveals that job applicants with a credential or associate's degree from a community college have slightly better chances of getting a job interview than students who attend a for-profit college or university. Since community colleges are much more budget friendly than for-profit institutions and have much better job placement results, community colleges are a much better option for employment-minded students.
Nearly 52 percent of community college students in the United States begin their freshman year in at least one remedial class. These courses, which help students acquire knowledge and skills they should have acquired in high school, do not count toward their degree requirements. As a result, students are taking longer than ever to obtain their degree, if they obtain one at all.

Joleon Lescott: Manuel Pellegrini inconsistent in cup final selection
Joleon Lescott has accused Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini of double standards for omitting him from last season's Capital One Cup final.
The former City defender, who left the Premier League champions to join West Brom in the summer after five seasons at the Etihad Stadium, expected to play against Sunderland at Wembley.
But, after featuring in every previous round of the competition, he was dropped as Pellegrini preferred to pick his own signing Martin Demichelis, who was partly culpable...

text: AP: 'Obama Limits Media in Ways No Past Administration Would've Dared' Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 1 Apr 2013 post a comment Nothing's funnier than the media whining about how Obama treats them. What the media does not seem to understand is that Obama treats them this way for one simple reason: because he can. Obama knows the media will never do anything to damage him politically. That assurance gives the president enormous latitude when it comes to how he does anything and everything, including how he handles the press. These complaints are nothing new. But they have increased since Obama's reelection. What we have here is a pathetic case of Battered Media Syndrome: "I love you; why do you treat me so bad?" Capitalizing on the possibilities of the digital age, the Obama White House is generating its own content like no president before, and refining its media strategies in the second term in hopes of telling a more compelling story than in the first. At the same time, it is limiting press access in ways that past administrations wouldn't have dared, and the president is answering to the public in more controlled settings than his predecessors. It's raising new questions about what's lost when the White House tries to make an end run around the media, functioning, in effect, as its own news agency. Mike McCurry, who served as press secretary to President Bill Clinton, sees an inclination by the Obama White House to "self-publish," coupled with tactics "I never would have dreamed of in terms of restricting access" for independent news organizations. "What gets lost are those revealing moments when the president's held accountable by the representatives of the public who are there in the form of the media," says McCurry. As you can see, the AP tries to blame Obama circumventing the fourth estate on the White House's considerable skills at using new technology. But that is just hooey. If the media put pressure on Obama and made him pay a political price for doing this, he would have to stop. Moreover, all it would take is the media ganging up on the White House for a week or so to make this circumvention into a political liability. The media won't do that, though, because they will never, ever do anything that will in any way harm this president. From the moment Obama declared his intent to run for the White House, the media has acted as his Palace Guard. Whether it was Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, the BP oil spill, the failed economy, or Libya, Obama knows the media have his back. In turn, quite foolishly, the media apparently believe that if they treat Obama like something precious, he should treat them well. But no one respects a desperately needy lapdog obnoxiously eager to please its master -- most especially The Master. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Yesterday afternoon I attended a preview of the Terrific Treehouses exhibit at the San Antonio Botanical Garden. I had an inkling that the treehouses were going to be masterpieces, and I was proven right when local designers brought their A-game. Nine treehouses were on display throughout the garden ranging from a feng shui creation to a flower fort.
I must admit I was won over by the whimsy of the Magic Treehouse designed by six-year-old Hannah Hughes. Hannahs idea came from the popular book series of the same name. However, Re-born is another standout treehouse that sits near the Garden overlook with an amazing view of the San Anto skyline. The exhibition is presented in partnership with the American Institute of Architecture (AIA). The design teams that participated in the exhibition were given a stipend of $3,500 to assist with the construction, installation, and removal of the structure.
Opening weekend activities for Terrific Treehouses include: origami, calligraphy, and tai chi classes, as well as, kite making lessons.

This is quite a special Barcelona auction, which includes both Black Shadow (1st Nat. / 2nd Int. Barcelona 2010) and Claire (1st Nat. hens / 2nd Nat. Barcelona 2011), two champions offered for sale by Bart & Francis Verdeyen, along with two youngsters of Black Shadow x Claire. An additional 12 direct youngsters and 6 grandchildren of either of these two national winners will be sold, making this a collection of some of Belgium's best Barcelona bloodlines. This is a great opportunity for fanciers looking to excel in the number one classic.
The golden bloodline of Albert Marcelis has really excelled in the loft of Eric Berckmoes, the pupil that continued the life's work of his master with great dedication. Eric has decided to auction his best old birds, which means a collection of high quality pigeons is now available for sale. The bloodline of Olympiad Pigeon and winner of 22 first prizes Sprint continues to define most of Eric's pigeon breed, which is home to Jonge Sprint (5 x 1st), Nieuwe Zion (1st Nat. Gueret), Yanti (1st Ace Pigeon long distance Western European Countries Cup), and Babette (Olympiad pigeon 2007), which have played a key role at national and international level. In this auction we offer you the best racers and breeders of Eric Berckmoes.
In an effort to create an outstanding racing team with first prize winners, Harry Van Andel started gathering a collection of top class breeders. He combined some of the best bloodlines from The Netherlands and Belgium, including pigeons of Leo Heremans, Gaby Vandenabeele, Verkerk etc. Harry will be auctioning a number of collectors' items on PIPA, including some of the finest pigeons at international level.
The Charity Auction organised on PIPA was created to help the province of Mr. Sorin to buy a new transport car. The smooth connection between Nikolaas Gyselbrecht and Mr. Sorin, resulted in a very interesting auction, including real big names on the first page. Showing fair play, friendship and mutual respect to Nikolaas Gyselbrecht and Mr Sorin, all the above fanciers and many more donated excellent pigeons especially for this auction.
In their attempt to bring the best Belgian racing pigeons to their breeding loft, the English breeders' team of Premier Stud obtained several pigeons from the collection of Gaston Van de Wouwer. They were quite impressed by the achievements of this champion from Berlaar. They visited Gaston to obtain youngsters from his best breeders, and so a unique collection of young birds made the trip from Belgium to the United Kingdom. Descendants of the impressive Kaasboer bloodline have gained excellent results in numerous pigeon lofts worldwide. This auction is a unique opportunity to obtain direct Van de Wouwer pigeons, especially because Gaston van de Wouwer sold his collection of old birds a short while ago.
PIPA came up with the concept of Jewels of the Sky exactly ten years ago. As PIPA continued to bring together pigeons from the world's best fanciers in a single auction, Jewels of the Sky eventually became the company's number one pigeon auction, drawing widespread attention from buyers and sellers alike. Some of the greatest names in this year's Jewels of the Sky auction include: Pieter Veenstra Gerard Koopman Jan Hooymans Bart Geerinckx Rudi De Saer Etienne Meirlaen Jos Vercammen Erik Limbourg We bring you nothing but the very best fanciers from The Netherlands and Belgium in a top quality auction. What did you expect?
Pigeon racing in Germany has seen a number of very successful fanciers, who managed to stand out from the rest by making big investments. These fanciers added colour to their sport with pigeon breeds that were able to excel in one loft races worldwide. In this auction we have some of the very best pigeons from the greatest German champions, who agreed to offer their finest pigeons for sale on PIPA.

Re: September Board
Alix: That will happen (the winded easily) thing, it is a normal part of pregnancy, unfortunately.. I used to have the same problems, when before i was PG i could run up and down my 17 stairs easily without getting winded. I noticed really early on I started feeling like I couldnt get my breath .. I thought it was ridiculous, considering how tiny i was lol. Oh well. But i would mention it to the dr. anyway.
afm- AF was supposed to come today, (and for some reason a whole weeks worth of temps arent showing on my chart either? but when i check my data they are there). No cramps, no nothing.. I know I got it later in the day last month, about this time..but Im not even getting cramps. Worried slightly, even though DH and I used protection every single time we BD'd this month..and I mean every single time..no oops it could have happend moments. lol. We were really good about that.
However, my nipples are suuuuupppppeeeerrrrrr sensitive like they were when I got PG.. Hoping something didnt malfunction and AF is just being fashionably later than usual? If anything I've learned the last 2 cycles, it has been that my body is still O on day 14 and AF on day 28...where are you AF?!

**Kasey.. 01/07/2003-12/24/2012. You were my heart, my soul, and my whole world, cancer may have taken you from me, but you'll never be forgotten. I have your pawprints forever on my heart.**

aka the sassiest of all lions. scar is so deliciously evil — killing off his brother and nephew in cold blood is pretty harsh — and he's just so fabulous about it, sashaying around and goose-stepping with the hyenas and cooing in his jeremy irons voice to innocent little lion cubs. and he probably also had the most terrifying death — eaten by your own minions, yikes.

This is a collection of my work up to 2014 in Cinema 4D, Realflow, and After Effects. I also work in Photoshop and Octane Render.
Thanks for watching, you can see more like this at thinkparticle.com
Available for work. Contact me at email@example.com for quotes.
Doing some R&D with Krakatoa and Realflow. Learning how to let them play together in Cinema 4D. Oh and of course I'm having a lot of fun doing it.
There are some issues in the render from Krakatoa where there is flickering. I assume that's from Absorption but it could be a variation in velocity from the Realflow Sim where some areas spike velocity randomly (need to learn to fix that).
Any tips, feedback, or ideas on improvement would be gladly appreciated!
This is part of a project I worked on called Chairs. The link to the video is found here: https://vimeo.com/68877962
This was quite an interesting project all based upon accidents. I love the result and hope you will too.
Being 1 in the 99 always makes you feel different, but you should never hide your colors. Be yourself and shine.

Mr.Daisaku Ikeda says
"What is failure in life? Making mistakes does not signal failure, but giving up on yourself when you've made mistakes or are feeling discouraged does. Not getting back on your feet when you've suffred a setback or disappointment- that is failure. True victors are those who get up again each time they fall down"
hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stuff on My Radar
- Tim Keller's King's Cross is great. I read it on an airplane and then gave it to the unbeliever sitting behind me. He read it for the next three hours. That's how you know Keller's good.
I had breakfast with a brand new believer this morning. It made me smile to hear how much theology he had figured out on his own just by beginning to taste the gospel. He said three things in particular:
- I know that God must have saved me becuase I never would have saved myself.
- One of the most amazing things about the church is the way that people love each other. You never see that anywhere else in the world.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Jets invite David Aebischer to Camp

How the 2009 Calder Cup Finals' Impacted Jets Return
Matt Eichel
August 18 2011 03:34PM
I remember sitting in the upper bowl of the MTS Centre in Section 310 with my significant other, about seven rows up from the railing and peering over about 7,500 other Manitoba Moose fans to watch the Moose play in Game 2 of the 2009 Calder Cup Finals.
There was something more special about Game 2 than there was about Game 1, a game which I had been sitting with a good friend over in Section 302 a few nights prior to witness a 5-4 overtime loss. The score was tied in Game 2 1-1 with under five minutes to play in the third period.
Overtime was looming.
NHL Announces US National TV Schedule
August 18 2011 12:38PM
The NHL announced the games that'll be shown on Versus/NBC this year and the list is pretty bizarre. There are some teams with a ton of appearances that make sense. The four way tie for second place between Boston, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Washington sees them with 14 potential appearances each. They're all major ratings draws due to being in large American hockey markets, having recent success and/or having Crosby and Ovechkin.
In first place is the New York Rangers with 16 potential appearances which makes little to no sense. The Rangers will be mediocre again like they are every year and despite NYC being the largest US media market most people outside of New York hate NYC and the Rangers.

I can't handle this.
I have no idea what just happened.
And three of them are AD! D<
UUUUUUAUAUAUAUAUUUUUGH. I'm most worried about the seasonal shop ones I missed they're so expensiiiive and there's so few of themmmm whine whine whine bitch moan whine.
Yes, yes. A big ol' meanie pants.
so let me just say that in all the four years i've been there, from beta until now, nothing about the site has changed
- still about the same handful of users online (30 ~ 60)
- tl;dr plot-centric writing
- boring layouts
- dare i say, bullshittery that is allowed to continue for longer than it needs to
- unnecessary development in one area while development in most other areas should be happening
"i can log on in february, play for two days straight, and vanish until october — and everything will be the same, just a different freaking seasonal plot (which all are generally similar imo)"
This SO much. I'm still kicking myself for donating so much to a site that did absolutely NOTHING to move forward. It was hot shit, things were blazing for a bit, and then I left to attend other matters. Came back and…nothing was different? But at the same time it was dead-er? Left again. Came back- still the same ghost town. A number of people I knew bailed because of this; it got boring as all hell and the human avatars should be thrown in a pit of lava; they're hideous and entirely useless. That and it's like…you're not missing anything if you leave for some time. Nothing at all.
So pissed. All of my regrets.
They did NOTHIIIIIiiiIIING arrrrrrrrghargharghomg. And the art's gone to shit imo. *rant rant hijack*

Tally of Uninsured Americans Likely to Stay High
No matter what policymakers try, whittling down the numbers of those without coverage is a bear of a challenge. With 18% of the nonelderly now uninsured, "The best we're going to do is about 15%," said Fronstin.
But Marilyn Moon, PhD, a senior fellow at the nonprofit Urban Institute, is more optimistic that federal policy can beat down the numbers. "It's not going to go to zero, and it's not going to be easy to get it to 10%, but I do think we could do better than 15%," she tells WebMD.
A report issued earlier last month by the Institute for the Future and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation gave a middle-of-the-road forecast that 48 million Americans would be uninsured by 2010, the same percentage of the nonelderly population as today. The report's alternative blue-sky prediction was for 30 million uninsured -- 11.5% of the nonelderly populace -- while its pessimistic alternative estimated that 65 million -- 25% -- would be without insurance.
While getting coverage for the uninsured is a complex nut to crack, coverage appears strong for the rest of the population. The country's robust economy is keeping many employers from dropping health insurance plans.
EBRI reported that the proportion of employed workers with health coverage has risen for the fifth straight year: Just under 65% of nonelderly Americans had coverage under an employer plan, the institute said.
"Employers are responding to the tight labor market," Fronstin noted, although he expressed "concern" that medical inflation is on the rise.
But Moon tells WebMD, "I'm not cheered that there's only been modest improvement in health insurance coverage. Times are awfully good."
Employers and health plans argue that enactment of the "patients' bill of rights" could throw more than a million Americans off of employer coverage; the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill passed by the House would increase insurance premiums by more than 4%.
But Fronstin tells WebMD that this doomsday scenario is unlikely, with businesses desperate for workers, they are unlikely to discontinue coverage even if it became more expensive. Unemployment, he notes, is currently just 4%.
The briefing Friday was held by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Alliance for Health Reform, nonprofit policy groups.

May 16, 2013
The availability of a second round of grants -- funded by the health law -- was announced to support approaches to reduce costs and improve care. The initial round, announced last year, funded 107 organizations.
CBS News: Gov't To Pay $1 Billion For Innovative Health Care Ideas
The U.S. government will award up to $1 billion in grants for innovative health care ideas that drive down medical costs, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in conjunction with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced Wednesday. On a conference call with reporters, HHS secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the country has made strides in reducing medical costs, and national health care spending has fallen to a 50-year low. However, she said there is still more to do (Jaslow, 5/15).
CQ HealthBeat: Innovation Center Plans Second Round Of Grants
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Innovation Center is preparing to distribute $1 billion in grants for projects designed to improve care and lower costs for federal health programs, agency officials said Wednesday. The second round of grants follows an initial round that was announced last year. At that time, 107 organizations received funding from a total pot of $895 million (Adams, 5/15).
Meanwhile, Medpage Today reports on ACOs -

Doctor-centric ACOs can do a better job at controlling costs than hospital-led organizations, Paul Ginsburg, PhD, president of the Center for Studying Health System Change here, said at an ACO summit hosted by America's Health Insurance Plans. … Unlike in hospital-led ACOs, doctor-led ACOs aren't compromised financially by reducing hospital admissions and emergency department visits, he pointed out (Pittman, 5/15).

How PayPal Fees Work
I've dealt a lot of PayPal, at work and at home. And I know people use it as a means of being paid for commissions, etc. Know your stuff to avoid those dreaded fees. (This is just as much of a reference for me!)
Let's Break it Down:
- Sending a payment as a "Personal Gift" has no fees ONLY if the money is coming from a bank account or PayPal balance. There IS a fee for debit/credit card transactions, even if it's a "Gift".
- The basic fee is $0.30 plus 2.9% of the amount. (So, $20 would be a $0.59 fee)
- There is a fee for international payments and, usually, currency conversions.
- The SENDER usually gets to decide who pays the fee (aka, they pass the burden onto the receiver, most likely)
- There are three types of PP accounts: Personal, Premier, and Business (and Student?). No account type has a monthly fee.
- You need a Premier Account to accept debit or credit card payments. Business accounts are for, well, businesses, and allow you to use more advanced e-commerce features on your website, etc. (aka, you don't need one of those)
- If you use your PayPal account to request money from someone, you'll be charged a fee when you receive the payment (seemingly regardless of what method the invoice was paid). Invoicing is great, but this is a surefire way to get hit by fees… Be sure to calculate them in if you do.
Basically, you want your commissioner to Send You Money with a bank account as a Personal Gift. If your commissioner is paying via card OR you're invoicing them, try to factor in the fees. Ask ahead of time how they will be paying for their item and tell them they are responsible for fees, and that you encourage them to sign up for a Verified Paypal account connected to a bank account. (That's all I got to suggest about dealing with commissioners!)
(dated 1/21/13 in case fees change)

Kids are messy, exhausting and expensive. But when it comes to parenting, scientific evidence proves that the perks for our health and happiness far outweigh the pitfalls.
By Sheril Kirshenbaum
Photography by Saverio Truglia
There was a fleeting moment in May when I imagined that my 16-month-old son, Atlas, and I resembled the Norman Rockwell painting that used to hang in my grandparents' home. In the famous dinner-table scene, a gray-haired matriarch delivers a golden-brown Thanksgiving turkey to a gracious, smiling family.
I'm no Julia Child, but that evening I chopped and baked a healthy medley of chicken, quinoa, and avocado. Atlas waited patiently in his booster seat and signed "hungry" by touching his fingertips to his mouth. After months of screaming to be fed, this was a milestone. On top of that, our house was reasonably clean, and the boy had already been bathed. I felt relieved, believing I had finally mastered this whole parenting thing.
Seconds later, he reached out to grab the dishes as I carried them to the table, overturning a mountain of quinoa onto the freshly mopped hardwood floor. Our dog greedily gobbled up the chicken strewn across the dining room, unaware of the avocado chunks splotched across her white fur. Atlas tearfully surveyed the mess, then shifted his hazel eyes back to me and signed "hungry."
We had applesauce for dinner that night. Then Atlas took another bath. Hours later, while scrubbing the floor, it occurred to me that in his portrait of familial bliss, Norman Rockwell lied.
Fair Warning
When my husband, David, and I announced we were expecting, every "congratulations" came with a polite warning. Other parents cautioned that we would never get a good night's sleep or quality alone time again. Childless couples lamented that we would be too busy to hang out with friends. Our own parents lectured us on the monumental costs of day care, college, and everything in between. In sum, our impending bundle of joy would leave us exhausted, friendless, romantically starved, and broke.
Soon I learned this list was only the beginning. Before Atlas arrived, my career as a scientist included weekly travel to lecture at universities and museums. After the birth, I felt triumphant when I escaped the house during the hour-long window between feedings and naps. I lost track of world news, and I feared losing myself to the all-consuming particulars of child rearing.
Meanwhile, the sleepless nights and disruption in lifestyle made me wonder: With all the known drawbacks, why do the overwhelming majority of us have children? For our ancestors, having a brood was necessary for farming, warring, and hunting. But this is the 21st century. Do we feel obligated? Are we acting on a primal instinct? Do we fear regret if we fail to act before that fabled biological clock strikes midnight? If kids wreak havoc on our bodies, our social lives, and our hardwood floors, what do we get out of the deal? As it turns out, plenty.
Your Hug Is My Drug
Many toddlers latch onto a favorite object—think blankies and teddy bears. Atlas went a different route. He attached to my hair. He falls asleep only while twirling it between his pudgy fingers. It's taken a toll. My current hairstyle is a cross between Farrah Fawcett's feathered look and the black tuft of fuzz that sits atop the yellow Angry Bird. But every night when my son reaches out for me, I don't have the heart to turn him away.
Children aren't the only ones who attach. New parents experience a surge of the bonding hormone oxytocin. This chemical is one of the reasons why, after nine months of discomfort and hours of painful labor, women feel jubilant when a red-faced, wailing baby lands in our arms. By dousing our brains in feel-good chemicals, nature tricks us into serving our new, tiny overlord.
As it turns out, oxytocin's impact lasts long after delivery, and it affects both moms and dads. According to research conducted by Yale University, parents experience rising levels of it during the first six months of a child's life. It pulses through our bodies when we hug, kiss, and snuggle with our newborn, and it peaks for mothers when they nurse. We may be exhausted, but we stay "high" on the chemical, which buffers physical challenges like sleep deprivation.
Yet oxytocin is just one among many hormones that foster adoration for a new arrival. Last year, neuroscientists at the University of Montreal discovered that a baby's scent triggers the brain's dopamine response—the same thing that happens when a ravenous person eats food or an addict gets a fix.
The chemical composition of this new baby smell still eludes scientists, and it only seems to cast its spell during the first six weeks of life. Yet dopamine continues to be activated even after the scent fades. According to pediatrician Lane Strathearn at Baylor College of Medicine, a comparable response is triggered when a mom simply sees her child smile. In other words, when our kids are happy, we can physically feel it.
Buckets of Disease, or Bastions of Health?
Atlas is going through a phase in which he puts his tongue to most any noun—person, place, or thing. He tastes the wheels of his stroller. The dog. My shoes. Recently I glanced down to discover that he'd wrapped his lips around a doorknob—and no, it wasn't our doorknob. Child development experts praise this kind of thing as "sensory exploration," but I see it as one of the infinite ways kids plot to make the rest of us sick.
I'm not alone. My friend Lauren was dining recently with her extended family when her nephew casually mentioned that Everett, her 2-year-old son, had gum in his mouth. When she asked Everett where he had gotten it, he thrust his hands under the table and eagerly chirped, "Right here, Mommy! They have lots!"
Comic Louis C.K. said it best: "Kids are like buckets of disease that live in your house." Yet a 2012 Carnegie Mellon study revealed that when exposed to a cold virus, parents are less likely to develop symptoms of illness than nonparents.
Even further, a study from the University of North Carolina concluded that acts of altruism and kindness—generally how we behave toward our family—are correlated with a lowered risk of heart disease and other major illnesses. And one Harvard study suggests that men who share strong bonds with loved ones are 82 percent less likely to die from heart disease than those who are socially isolated.
In other words, the close relationships we develop with those we love appear to be as important to wellness as maintaining a healthy body mass index and avoiding tobacco.
Can't Buy Me Love
What about the financial toll of children? My husband and I anticipated that a child would impact our bank account, but we didn't realize just how quickly it would add up. Diapers typically set parents back about $1,000 in the first year alone. The average annual cost of day care approaches $12,000. Government estimates suggest we spend an average of $250,000 per child between birth and age 17—a figure that doesn't factor in college expenses.
Good thing money doesn't buy happiness. (At least once we enter the middle class: Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert's research shows that people who bring in $5 million annually are not much happier than those who earn $50,000.) Instead, happiness lies in long-term, meaningful connections. And the Pew Research Center reports that parents describe their ties with children as the most fulfilling of their lives.
A massive, four-year study by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research surveyed 130,000 adults internationally and found that parents are happier than nonparents. Of course, these results come with qualifications. Parenting doesn't necessarily make people happier, but it's clear that parenthood is associated with happiness and meaning. Time and again research has demonstrated that parents experience greater depths of joy than nonparents. And sure, the lows are lower too, but like an elite athlete who trains for years to achieve success, the pain and struggle only make the victory that much sweeter.
The Diaper Chronicles
On my first date with David, I never could have imagined how much time we would one day spend talking about poop. Whereas we used to wax philosophical about political theory and art, now much of our conversation revolves around Atlas' diaper. Sometimes, it extends to the poop of other tiny beings too.
My friend Vanessa and her husband recently discovered a bright blue bowel movement in the diaper of their 1-year old son, Jonah. Like all proud parents, they shared the news on Facebook, dispatching photo evidence and asking for theories on what accounted for the discoloration. Suggestions came pouring in: Did he uncork a bottle of food coloring? Eat a Smurf? We settled on ingestion of blue Play-Doh as the most plausible cause, but the case remains open.
The bizarre thing is that neither David nor I find these discussions disturbing. Poop has become just another part of the day, a routine sandwiched somewhere between shopping for groceries and filling up at the gas station.
It may not sound romantic, but it's probably not so bad for our relationship. Long-term data on marriage suggests that parenthood keeps us connected to our spouses. Couples with kids are more likely to stay married, and married people are, on average, happier than their unmarried peers. Sure, some couples stay together for their kids rather than for personal happiness. But here's what I know for certain: Although David and I talk more often about poop than I ever anticipated, we're still talking—and laughing—about a common interest.
Survival of the Most Nurturing
it's clear that parenthood forces us to shift priorities, but less obvious is the fact that our brains are literally being reshaped. Becoming a mother or father facilitates a kind of neural reprogramming that helps us better transition from a world primarily consisting of self to one consisting of both self and other.
"The brain stores the information to help us lead our lives in a pattern set by the combination of our genes, our development, and our experiences," explains neuroscientist Gregory Cogan at New York University. "New situations and experiences rewire brain circuitry in ways that make us best able to adjust."
After I became a mom, I began to recognize changes in myself that I didn't expect. I used to rush through the day from one appointment to another; now I frequently pause to enjoy little things like sipping a cup of tea or watching my son at play. Having a child has made me more present, more alive to each moment.
There's an evolutionary reason for this. For hundreds of thousands of years, nature has been gently guiding the changes that take place in our bodies in order to make us the best parents possible. "Thriving, surviving offspring is the key currency of evolution," explains Duke anthropologist Jenny Tung. "It stands to reason that 'better' parenting evolves over time." Those best able to meet the needs of their children have the greatest chance of passing on their genes, which encourages our most nurturing qualities to persist in future generations.
New research published this year by Michigan State University bolsters this theory. Psychologists analyzed the origins of parenting behavior using data from 20,000 families across the world. They concluded that DNA influences how we express warmth, control, and negativity toward kids. But the most interesting find was that parents and children share a two-way exchange: We actively shape who our kids become, and they in turn affect us. In essence, we grow together.
Living with children is messy and loud, complicated and stressful. It can be exhausting and make us feel like we're unraveling. We get overscheduled with music lessons and sports practices and spend countless hours picking up discarded food and toys. Yet these are the things we forget over time. We remember and value the closeness and love—your squealing kid running toward you with open arms, the calm of reading him a bedtime story.
Would we all be better off as parents? Of course not. But for many of us, kids have the capacity to bring out the best. When I reflect honestly on my relationship with my son, I realize that our typical day-to-day existence looks nothing like that scene from Norman Rockwell. That would be boring anyway. Like a pendulum, we swing between highs and lows. Tender moments turn chaotic and back again. We clean up accidents and celebrate milestones. We wade through tantrums and steer toward belly laughs.
Life with Atlas looks a lot more like a Jackson Pollock: messy, unpredictable, and hard to explain. But in the big picture, priceless.

Wedding/Rehearsal dinner recommendations in Queens?
So any suggestions for a nice and reasonable restaurant for about 80 people? yes it is huge family reunion....
re: pancun187
I was thinking maybe Italian since it is such a big party. I love Asian/sushi/Chinese but the bridal party is so racially diverse that it might be better to go simpler, if that makes sense. Also any place that has good drink/wine/beer selection would be the best.
Parkside seems like a possibility but parking in Corona is always a problem.
Oh and maybe Long Island is an option too since half the bridal party is staying in hotels out there too.
Thanks for the help!
re: damselmd
I like Parkside, but I am not sure what the story is if they have a big room. They have valet parking, but the lot's not that big.
Where on Long Island are your guests staying?--that information would give a better idea for location suggestions. You might also want to post on the Tri-state board for Long Island suggestions.
Keep in mind that although your list is 80 people, it's more than likely they won't all come. Unfortunately, it's impossible to gauge responses. It's a huge subject of debate on various party boards. An illustration--two sisters of mine had guest lists of about 250 each for Saturday night parties (one a wedding and the other a bar mitzvah) at the exact same location, 3 months apart. The wedding ended up with about 160 attending and there were closer to 200 at the bar mitzvah.
maybe ponticello in astoria? i don't know how many their private room can hold - ponticelloristorante.com
Cavalier Restaurant (85-19 37th Ave, JH's) has a private room that will accomodate 80. Prices are reasonable. They have a dinner special which I believe is $21.95. Drinks are reasonable. Continental/American. Extensive Menu - Full Bar. I've had many meals favorites being shell steak, fillet of sole francaise, chicken francaise and chicken marsala. All served with fresh out of the oven baked potato and sauted vegetables.
re: Val55
I've hosted quite a few parties at Parkside and can tell you that they will not be able to accomodate you in their private upstairs party room if you have more than 55 people in your party. And that's actually pushing it. Cafe on the Green in Bayside would definiltey be able to accomodate you as would Verdi's just off the Cross Island in Whitestone. The private room at Trattoria L' Incontro could possibly hold 80 people as could Sapori D'Ischia ( you'd rent the whole place but the layout and single bathroom make it a bit tough, as nice as it is)
Good Luck,
Joe Abbraciamento Restaurant. 6296 Woodhaven Blvd. Rego Park, NY 11374
They expanded some years ago into the adjoining closed movie theatre and have a lot of room. I've been eating there since I was a kid AND my sister had her very successful wedding rehersal dinner. Since her husband is half-Italian, we knew it had to work. I'm not sure if the underground garage was ever built, but it's close to the LIE (and Queens Blvd).
re: HungyGod11
I totally forgot about this place. I was in the party room several years ago. I am pretty sure it would hold 80. Maybe even more. Haven't been there in a few years, but recall the food as being pretty good. Parking situation not that great, but they do have valet.
thanks for all the great tips! any recent reviews of Caffe on the Green? although the view of the bridge should be worth it.
Funny you mentioned Joe Abbraciamento. one of the recent family reunion dinners was there, so that is out of the picture, but that would have been great!
thanks again and any more ideas would be welcome!

A new taint on the Shroud of Turin?
(Photo: An archive negative image of the Shroud of Turin (L) next to one created by Luigi Garlaschelli and released in Pavia, Italy, on 5 Oct 2009/Turin Diocese (L) and Luigi Garlaschelli (R)/Turin Diocese (L) and Luigi Garlaschelli)
Italian scientist Luigi Garlaschelli tells me he has been getting lots of hate mail as well as emails of support since our Oct 5 story that he had reproduced the Shroud of Turin with material available in the Middle Ages, a feat that he says proves definitively that the linen some Christians revere as Jesus Christ's burial cloth is a medieval fake.
Given the controversy that has surrounded the Shroud, particularly since the 1988 carbon dating tests, this was hardly a surprise. One of Christianity's most disputed relics, it is locked away at Turin Cathedral in Italy and rarely exhibited. It was last on display in 2000 and is due to be shown again next year. The Catholic Church does not claim the Shroud is authentic nor that it is a matter of faith, but says it should be a powerful reminder of Christ's passion.

Vatican forgives John Lennon for "more popular than Jesus" quip
When John Lennon said in 1966 that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus," there was a furious reaction in the United States. Dozens of radio stations in the South and Midwest banned Beatles music and some concert venues cancelled scheduled appearances by the band. Their manager Brian Epstein quickly flew to the U.S. to try to quell the storm. Soon afterward, Lennon told a news conference in Chicago that he was sorry for making the comparison, although he added he still thought it was true. The Vatican, as far as I can see from online archives, stayed silent and aloof even thought it could hardly agree with or approve Lennon's message. (Photo: Japanese band performs in Lennon's memory, 8 Dec 2005/Toshiyuki Aizawa)
When the Vatican daily L'Osservatore Romano came out with a nostalgic look back at the Beatles on the 40th anniversary of their 1968 White Album on Saturday, it lead off the article with Lennon's famous quote and promptly shrugged it off. "The remark by John Lennon, which triggered deep indignation mainly in the United States, after many years sounds only like a 'boast' by a young working-class Englishman faced with unexpected success, after growing up with the legend of Elvis and rock and roll," it wrote. The Beatles' music was creative and original, even more so than their haircuts and clothes, and has stood the test of time, it said. The Italian-language original has now been overtaken on the OR website by the latest edition, but an English translation will certainly pop up somewhere (on Zenit?).

Did Saddleback "faith quiz" cross church-state divide?
Did Rick Warren's Saddleback Civil Forum with John McCain and Barack Obama violate the separation of church and state? Was it right for a pastor to ask U.S. presidential candidates about their belief in Jesus Christ or their worst moral failures? Will the success of the Saddleback Civil Forum mean that major televised interviews or debates about faith will become a regular fixture in American political campaigns?
I didn't think questions like this got enough of an airing in U.S. media before Saturday's event. The fact that Warren made it such an interesting evening made me think the fundamental question -- should there be a televised "faith quiz" at all? -- would be crowded out of the public debate. The initial reactions angled on the winner/loser question or the "cone of silence" issue seemed to bear this out. But some commentators and blogs are now zeroing in on the deeper question.

Vienna museum reels from Last Supper uproar, blames outsiders
The mainstream Austrian press has now got hold of the debate over a controversial exhibition in Vienna's Cathedral Museum and the director is wading right in. Austrian papers have not given the Alfred Hrdlicka exhibition too much attention until recently. The celebrated 80-year-old Austrian artist's outspokenness and bold paintings are nothing new to country with a tradition for daring art.
Now the museum's director Bernhard Böhler has told Die Presse newspaper he is amazed by the fierce criticism the museum has received for exhibiting a homoerotic version of the Last Supper, which had to be taken down on the request of Vienna's Cardinal Christoph Schönborn. The exhibition provoked some complaints from visitors but it was the uproar on religious blogs in German and in the United States that really hit both the museum and the cardinal hard.

Vienna cardinal explains stand on erotic Last Supper painting
We recently wrote about an exhibition in Vienna's Roman Catholic Cathedral which has caused quite a stir -- it included a homoerotic version of Christ's Last Supper by Austrian artist Alfred Hrdlicka. The picture was quickly taken down at the request of Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the archbishop of Vienna.
The cardinal has now made a statement about the exhibition regretting the work was ever shown but describing Hrdlicka as one of Austria's most notable artists. He also says art inspired by biblical subjects is something to be welcomed, even if the artists themselves are atheists. The full statement, sent to Reuters in English, is copied below.

The Last Supper as a gay orgy? Uproar in Vienna…
The sketchy black-and-white picture shows the Twelve Apostles drinking, dancing, and well, getting extremely friendly with each other. It certainly isn't the version of Christ's Last Supper that most people are familiar with...
Austrian artist Alfred Hrdlicka's version of the Last Supper as a homosexual orgy was supposed to be one of the highlights of an exhibition at the Dommuseum, the museum of Vienna's Roman Catholic cathedral. An initial favourable review by the local Catholic news agency didn't seem to find anything wrong. But blink and it's gone -- thanks to the intervention of Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the archbishop of Vienna, after the painting sparked criticism in Austria and as far away as the United States. Here's a protest article in German (with 61 comments and an explicit video about the exhibition) and a comically bad machine translation into English.
