I was wrong about that. In 2012, the winning boys' time was 9:49.83. That's a 3K, not a 3200.
no, it was a 32
|Adder of some value
I do. I do. I do not understand your point, however. I was simply supplying data points as a frame of reference. I stated no judgement as to whether or not she could win a state title in Wyoming.
Since you did get all uppity, however, I will take the time to judge. Since the Wyoming Class 1A record has stood since 1997 it is clear that NO 1A boy has shown the ability to run faster, in either a tactical race or a "record attempt" race. That being said, NO class 1A boy has demostrated that he could run within 10 seconds of Mary Cain for 3000m.
Even if a 9:53 3200m guy has a "good kick", is he really going to drop the hammer on a girl whose 3000m PR is 10 seconds better and has shown the ability to run a 2:03 800m?
In response to the OP's question, I don't know how many she could win, but I would safely argue at least one.
|Kyle Schmidt
I don't think she would ever be the best in any state but she would win the South Dakota 3200m in the B and A divisions some years, depending on the competition. Often times, no one in the class goes below 10 minutes throughout the whole season. I currently live in Wyo and she might win the smaller divisions here and there but again, Casper is nearly a mile high so times are to be thrown out the window.
Thanks for that catch. At one point in my life I was able to read simple text, but I've kind of stepped away from that.
I'm not saying that Cain would have won that race had she been in it, and Plunkett is one of the best distance runners in New England now, but a 9:02 3k is intrinsically superior to a 9:49 3200.
Vermont is weird. Almost all states run a 3200 outdoors now (RI is an exception) even if they run a 3000 indoors. VT does it the other way around.

My question is for a problem in the opposite direction. A regular correspondent has recently changed to Windows Live Mail, and since she did so I receive her messages with the X markers but no pictures.
Can anyone give me suggestions for me to pass on to my correspondent please.

TUESDAY, March 20 (HealthDay News) -- Small stores in two
low-income areas of North Philadelphia began stocking healthier
foods after changes to a popular U.S. government food-aid program,
a new study finds.
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants
and Children (WIC program) is tailored to meet the nutritional
needs of lower-income pregnant women and new mothers, as well as
infants and children up to 5 years old. Under the changes
introduced in 2009, the program started giving participants
vouchers to pay for fruits and vegetables, whole-grain foods such
as brown rice and whole-wheat bread, and tofu. Other changes
included a switch from whole-fat to reduced-fat milk.
According to the study, the change prompted the corner and
convenience stores in the neighborhoods to carry vegetables,
fruits, whole-grain products, reduced-fat milk and other healthy
food products.
The researchers also found that the changes to the program
increased the availability of nutritious foods without increased
cost to families or the government.
The study, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was
published in the
Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.
"Changes in the WIC food package helped increase access to healthy foods in two impoverished neighborhoods," lead author Amy Hillier, of the University of Pennsylvania, said in a foundation news release. "Even small corner stores started stocking fruits and vegetables, lower-fat milk and foods that can help residents stay healthy and reduce their risk of obesity."
The researchers assessed 115 stores in two mostly Hispanic and
black North Philadelphia neighborhoods. Full-service chain
supermarkets had the highest availability of nutritious foods, but
corner and convenience stores enrolled in WIC showed major
improvements after the program changes.
Even stores that did not participate in WIC began to stock
healthier food items, the study found.
The researchers did not examine whether increased access to
nutritious foods actually means people in the neighborhoods have
healthier diets.
"We think the people frequenting these stores are eating healthier foods but we would need additional research to confirm that," Hillier said.

I've had it with my Windows machine at work and am now ready to switch to a mac. All of my software I use is in the cloud now. I was considering an iMac but just too pricey for my business right now. I was considering going the mac mini option. I was considering the dual core i5 with 4 gigs of ram. I won't be doing any intensive photo or video editing. It will be strictly business. Emails and Internet and MS Office. Does anyone think that I have to go with the quad core i7? Would the dual core i5 suit my needs? I'm going from Windows 7 with 4 gigs of RAM and had a dual core pentium. Not an i5. I'm assuming the dual core i5 will be faster than my aging dual core pentium.
i5 will be fine.There are a lot of hidden fees with minis. ie - video converter if you're not HDMI, keyboard, mouse, applecare. If you have third party ones, then that is fine.--"If something about the human body disgusts you, complain to the manufacturer" - Lenny BruceWhat this country needs is a good five dollar plasma weapon.
Yeah, I'm going to use my current mouse, my usb keyboard and my standard monitor. If it was for my personal use I would probably go with an iMac but really just for biz. The way I see it, it's $599 plus tax and that's it. I also have an apple gift card and a few visa gift cards from the holidays. My out of pocket will be no more than $300.00.
If you are using your own monitor check for either an HDMI or displayport connector. If it doesn't have either one then you will need an adapter to connect it to the Mac Mini.
Minis come with hdmi to DVI adapters still so you should be fine on that front.If you can swing the extra $200 then get the i7, the quad core will make your machine last longer.My main machine is a retina macbook pro tricked out with pretty much every option, however my new mini is a respectable machine. 16GB of ram certainly helps, as does the SSD I shoe-horned into it.
I almost wish Apple would change the name of the Mini to something else ... a lot people seem to have some preconceived notion that it's lacking or under powered which simply not true.--Not many people know this, but I happen to be quite famous...
Have you used Microsoft Office for Macintosh? About the only similarity is the name. They are very different products.The Macintosh platform is a great platform, however if you have a Windows domain, Windows 7 Professional/Enterprise/Ultimate are excellent platforms too.What other software do you run?Depending on the "cloud" (fog) could be a train wreck waiting to happen.With that said, the mini is a good machine overall - just a laptop with no monitor stuffed into a small case. RAM is upgradable.
I have been using Minis in my office since the original G4 model was released. Your office work will be just fine with a small footprint. My staff appreciates the room.We have a 2012 i5 Mini now and it allows me to runWindows as needed...but we don't need it.For my needs, MS Office for Mac is just fine.Our EMR is in the cloud and we have a rock solid cable connection that's gone down only once in the five years we've had it. We have a local backup in the rare chance the cloud goes down.Do it! For general office use you don't need more than a Mini.--neuronbob.com
I should have mentioned that I use a Mac at home and I use MS Office for Mac 2011 so I am familiar with the Mac version of Office. I know it lacks a few features in the Windows version but I really only need to type letters in Word and open up Word docs and Excel docs here and there. I'm not concerned about Word.
Right now, I have my monitor hooked into the standard "VGA" port on the rear of the computer. However, the monitor does have a DVI output. Do I need to buy a separate cable or will the included or will the HDMI to DVI adapter included work?
Only thing included is the power cord.You would need the HDMI to DVI adapter.

What since when?
What since when?
Oh man I had to buy mine in 2010.
Mine came with the DVI adapter as well ...
Both my mini's came with adapters. The 2010 came with an HDMI to DVI adapter. I think my 2011 was DP to DVI. I did have to buy a dual-link adapter (but it didn't work for crap).
2012 Mini i5 2.5Ghz comes with dedicated HDMI in/out....mine did!!!!

David Stern and the NBA are interested in setting an age limit on who is allowed to represent Team USA Basketball in the Olympics. The proposed age limit would be 23 years old.
"I think we got a lot out of the Olympics," Stern told the LA Times shortly after the NBA Finals. "We helped grow the game. The result has been extraordinary. But I think it's appropriate to step back and take stock of where we're going."
The NBA and its teams don't make a lot of money sending their veteran players to international competitions and it definitely doesn't make up for the potential risk involved.
Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul, veterans now themselves, do not want to see an age limit restricting participants in Team USA Basketball.
"It's a stupid idea, stupid," Kobe told the New York Times. "It should be a (player's) choice. The Olympics is really about putting the best athletes out there to compete against the best. That's what it's about, put the best out there. From a basketball standpoint, (an age limit) would lessen the Olympics, absolutely."
Paul noted that he had one of his best seasons ever following the 2008 Olympics that he won Gold in.
"You see guys, when they come back from playing on a team like this, they go into the new (NBA) season with the ultimate confidence," Paul said. "It's better than being at home just working out and playing ball. You get to play against the best players in the world."
We have seen the rest of the international field continually catch up to the United States in basketball. Despite the U.S. sending some of its best talent in recent years, they aren't dominating quite like they used to anymore.
An age limit of 23 would make it just that much harder for the U.S. to continue winning Gold. They could maybe get away with it this year with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love on the roster but neither of those players are even starting on this team.
Then you have Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin, who are two of the best players in the NBA under 23, missing these Olympics due to injury.
An age limit seems logical in some ways but at 23 years old would be a little too strict. Setting one at 25 might work a little better and then the older veterans wouldn't have to worry about playing, although Kobe and Paul are indicating they want to choose themselves.
USA Basketball is 2-0 in exhibition games so far leading up to the London Olympics. They will play their third exhibition Thursday night against Great Britain. The Olympics begin July 27.

PLAYERS: Devon Alexander, Deontay Wilder
Tomorrow night on HBO Boxing, the Arch Enemies card from St. Louis will come our way, headlined by Devon Alexander vs. Marcos Maidana and Adrien Broner vs. Eloy Perez.

"Yerakina" by Banda Magda debuts today!
Buy Yerakina on Bandcamp and iTunes.
A beautiful bird, bangles jingling, falls down a well. It's her friends who help her out. That's the tale behind the Greek folk song "Yerakina," and the spirit that animates New York's Banda Magda.
This spirit thrums on the big, vivid band's latest album. The perfect complement to 2013's Amour, t'es là? (named one of the year's best world music albums by NPR), Yerakina vibrates with the same bright, bold strokes. Now, instead of charismatic bandleader/composer Magda Giannikou's wild and wildly romantic originals, the Banda had turned to traditional and classic tunes. They are tales of love and devotion as strong as the bonds that bind the band's diverse players.
"I wanted this album to be about the band," Giannikou reflects. "I wanted my bandmates and collaborators have more freedom and initiative in the creative process. The album sprang from our friendship and love, and you can really feel that in the songs."
The camaraderie echoes in the music, as diverse rhythms and melodies from different corners of the globe cross-pollinate, giving chansons Afro-Peruvian sway or Greek folk tunes with a mad dash of Northeastern Brazilian beats. Traditional Greek rockers ("Trata," "Yerakina"), gentle but driving ballads ("El Pescador," "Petite Fleur"), samba and baião numbers incorporate everything from kitchen ware to hammered dulcimer, from full and rich horn arrangements to shimmering vibraphone, in wonderfully seamless, addictive songs.
"In many ways, Yerakina has nothing to do with music," smiles Giannikou. "It's about one hand holding the other, climbing up that deep, dark well, together, towards the sunlight."

Daniel J. Edelman: A PR Man's Greatest Coups
Posted By Patrick Kiger On January 17, 2013 @ 12:45 pm In Legacy | Comments Disabled
From an early age, public relations mogul Daniel J. Edelman [1] knew how to get his message across. When he was six years old and confined to his room with the mumps, he tapped out messages to his siblings on a typewriter and slipped them under his door. In 1952, he founded an eponymous Chicago-based outfit that eventually grew into the world's biggest PR firm, with 63 offices in 26 countries, with corporate clients ranging from Sara Lee and KFC to Microsoft and General Electric.
Companies flocked to Edelman, who died on Jan. 15 at age 92 [2] in Chicago, because he was a master at coming up with ingenious, innovative strategies for getting a brand name to stick in the public's oft-fickle frontal lobes.
Here are five of his cleverest strategies:

How about Serge Lutens Chergui or Santa Maria Novella Tabacco Toscano?
Thread: A sweeter Bvlgari Black ?
I adore BB, but the vanilla teases me at times and makes me crave something sweeter but still with the same smokey quality. Any suggestiosn for something that fits the bill, or indeed something I might layer with BB? I think a sweeter smokey vanilla is what I am after! Thanks all! x
How about Serge Lutens Chergui or Santa Maria Novella Tabacco Toscano?
Wanted: a cap of Bvlgari Thé Vert
Wanted: L' Artisan Timbuktu or Fragonard Concerto
Feel free to visit Polderposh - a young up & coming Dutch fragrance blog!
Also had BB layered with Bandit yesterday, and that was interesting too. Not as sweet but the peppery Bandit and BB work very well together.
Edit:Later the drydown is complete and the combination is heavenly... The contrast and the "vibration" between BB's leathery and green drydown and the sweeter FT vanilla, beeswax, patchouli, are absolutely stunning.

Sort of different but you might like Musc Ravageur
Body Kouros. The Incense in it gives the smokyness, the benzoin gives vanilla sweetness.
Created by the same perfumer as BB by the way....

Brendan & Ryan thank you!
Brendan is 11 years old. He loves soccer, baseball, hockey and likes basketball! He is a 5th grade boy who looks and acts like any other boy. The difference is that Brendan can't eat most foods. His body rejects food thinking it is a parasite. He gets really sick if he eats food. We want to change this! There are so many others with this disease that would like to change this too. Imagine your life without food...
Brendan had his first endoscopy on September 23, 2003, at 9 months old. We were not educated enough about Brendan's condition and told he just needed to be on a few medications and he would be fine. But... at his next scope, the doctor called to tell me that Brendan had EoE and has had it since his first endoscopy but the pathologist did not read it correctly. As time went on, Brendan's food allergies were worsening. Brendan would barely eat and when he did, he ate like a bird. After every scope his biopsies were worse than the previous time. By last summer Brendan was only eating pork, white potato, corn, oat, and rice. Even on just six foods his scope in July 2009 showed extremely high numbers of eosinophils in his esophagus. Brendan also had enlarged lymph nodes and they were getting larger. He had surgery to remove lymph nodes from his neck and also had his tonsils and adenoids removed. When the GI doctor called with the July 2009 biopsy results and told me how damaged his esophagus was, I knew we had to make a change.
In October of 2009, we got in to CHOP EoE Clinic. We met with the GI, the allergist and a nutritionist all at one visit. We removed all foods from Brendan's diet. He could drink his Neocate Jr., but just had to increase the amount. He was the healthiest he had ever been. We made a decision, along with the EoE team to have a G tube placed in Brendan. His G tube was placed on March 22, 2010.
Brendan currently eats potato. He was recently told he would have to give up his only food or swallow steroids which we kept putting off. So he started swallowing steroids and it worked! Brendan just was scoped in March 2014 and the steroids were working. So Brendan continues to eat potato and can also have rice, corn, pork and oat. Brendan was super excited about this but he rarely eats those other foods.
Brendan continues to have symptoms and struggle with food. Brendan gets Neocate Jr. in his feeding tube through the night and drinks 1 10oz. ounce glass of Neocate daily. The Neocate Jr. is what is keeping Brendan healthy and alive. Brendan currently sees a GI, Allergist, Nutrionist, Psychologist, Sports Medicine, Opthamology and Rheumatologist at CHOP.
CHOP has been wonderful to Brendan! They are one of the top hospitals for EoE. We are very fortunate to be so close. CHOP is involved with research to find a cure and hopefully a treatment. Obviously it costs a lot of money so we are hoping to raise awareness and funds to someday help Brendan, Ryan and everyone else who suffers from EoE.
Ryan will be turning 9 on April 26, 2014. Ryan is in 3rd grade and loves life! Ryan has a lot of energy and uses it towards the sports he loves! And he loves them all! He plays soccer, basketball and baseball. He also plays recreational hockey and football for fun with his brothers.
Ryan's story is different than Brendan's. Some say "oh Ryan isn't as severe." And yes that is true. But Ryan has had most foods his entire life and then we had to remove them in August 2012. This was not easy. And he would continue to sneak food and then be sick for weeks. He finally realized what he needed to do. And he did it. And he also started swallowing steroids and it appears to me helping him also.
Ryan still gets sick frequently and has had to get more tests done. They thought he had Crohns disease as well. But now they are not sure. We are looking forward to finding out and getting him the help he needs.
Thank you for all of your support!
The Dixon Family
Thank you!
Thank you so much for all you did to make the Skate Off for EE a successful event! Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and had a great time!
Thank you to the Dell Family, the Skatium, Carl Card's & Collectibles, Carl & Sue, Lauren & Joe, The Scott Family, Shaun Young, Tommy Tunes, the Harris', Carolyn Hardy-Bachman, Marcy Lavoe, The Harris Family, Ian Lapierre, the Phillie Phanatic, The Bromley Family, the Girls Hockey Team, Paul Bogosian, Karen Penn, Carol Hand, Erin, Roz, Susan and all of the generous people that donated, all of the friends and family that came out that night!
You all made this night a success! When we hand in the money to CHOP we will give you the grand total!
RESULTS ARE IN :( from Scope today - August 20, 2012
RESULTS ARE IN and CORN is a FAIL. So now we have to make the decision to do steroids to have him be able to eat a few foods other than just potato. Did not want to do this and he can not do swallowed steroids so we he will do the FLOVENT 220. :((( Scope again in 2 months.
Brendan had a scope today and was put under anesthesia once again. He never shed a tear today when he fell "asleep" with us by his side. He kept looking to Tom on one side and me on the other and told us he loved us and "fell asleep".
He woke up cranky and very irritable. He also had his granulation "burned" off and he was in a lot of pain.
Once he was awake and had pain meds he wanted to get home. He rested briefly but then wanted to get a ball in his hands or feet!
He's a tough cookie!
Praying for good results by week's end!
Thank you to everyone for your support!

Melkor calls Mairon to a dark side

Melkor and Ungoliant wreck everyone's happiness.
#you can't just simply walk into Valinor without a giant spider and all that cool fashionable darkness around you

late night Sau and Melkor sketches >________>
Sauron,Melkor & Smaug the Golden >:3
"To Melkor among the Ainur had been given the greatest gifts of power and knowledge, and he had a share in all the gifts of his brethren. He had gone often alone into the void places seeking the Imperishable Flame; for desire grew hot within him to bring into Being things of his own, and it seemed to him that Ilúvatar took no thought for the Void, and he was impatient of its emptiness. Yet he found not the Fire, for it is with Ilúvatar. But being alone he had begun to conceive thoughts of his own unlike those of his brethren…
Among those of his servants that have names the greatest was that spirit whom the Eldar called Sauron, or Gorthaur the Cruel. In his beginning he was of the Maiar of Aulë, and he remained mighty in the lore of that people. In all the deeds of Melkor the Morgoth upon Arda, in his vast works and in the deceits of his cunning, Sauron had a part, and was only less evil than his master in that for long he served another and not himself. " J.R.R. Tolkien, Silmarillion
Tiny rough strip - Sauron tries to wear Melkor's krown and then Melkor came back with Silmarills - after 300+ years of his imprisonment <333
Melkor,Sauron and the first elves >:3

|Looking Behind All the "Nones-sense" - Shifting Influences Over Time of Religious (Non)Affiliation
Eaton 106
In this mini-lecture, I will present the results of my recent research examining whether predictors - or "causes" - of religious non-affiliation in the United States have changed over the last forty years. While the popular media and political "messagers" like to latch onto particular explanations for the rise of religious non-affiliation, evidence suggests that (a) it is very difficult to characterize or predict who does or does not self-describe as "non-affiliated; and (b) that those factors that do provide some degree of explanation have changed over time. My goal is to demonstrate not only the kind of work that some of the faculty do on campus, but also to discuss a bit about how students were integral participants in the research.

|Ethical and Political Perspectives on Freedom of Speech
Eaton 307
This mini-course will provide a brief introduction to some basic perspectives on freedom of speech. Beginning with the text of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, we will discuss the wider philosophical debates that informed it, focusing on arguments for free speech as desirable for fostering individual ethics and a healthy political culture. We'll also look at some contemporary instances of public debate that involve free speech in order to get at some of the assumptions about individuality, community and ethics that underpin different perspectives on how speech can best be legally regulated, and what a robust culture of free speech can do for society.

|Physics of the Nano Realm
Smullin 216
At the leading edge of scientific advancement, nanotechnology is the study of manipulating atoms and molecules that are so small that they have properties unseen at human scale. This talk will discuss exactly what the nano-scale is, and what makes this such an unintuitive and fascinating realm. As a case study, I will describe the challenge of generating motion at these small scales, and discuss how motion is generated both by biological systems as well as synthetic systems.

|Archaeology and the Rhetoric of Nationalism
Ford 304
Indiana Jones may have left people with visions of Nazis attempting to manipulate the material culture of the past for national and personal gain, but setting aside such Hollywood fantasy, we can see current events, rhetoric, and identity shaping choices and interpretations in the science and art of archaeology. An examination of ancient texts and material culture can give us a richer understanding of the shifting rhetorics and identity in ancient culture. Perhaps more surprisingly, an examination of the rhetoric of archaeology can show how the choice of excavation sites, the treatment of material findings, and the explanation of those findings may all be shaped and reshaped by contemporary concerns.
Instructed by: Jeanne clark, Professor of Rhetoric

|My Friends the Triangles: The Study of Geometric Networks
Smullin 129
Mathematical networks have a wide variety of applications outside mathematics: components of an electric circuit connected by wires; genetic similarities among species in a phylogenetic tree; social networks among people; airline flights between cities; links between web pages. My research deals with applications of these networks inside mathematics, to the study of geometric shapes. This is an exciting new area of study, where the interesting problems outnumber the researchers working on them. I'll introduce this field, and then highlight a few problems I've worked on, including some projects with Willamette student co-authors.
Instructor: Josh Laison, Professor of Mathematics

If you enjoy collecting original art then you know shopping art galleries can be expensive and for some, intimidating.
If you are on a budget, but love the idea of buying handcrafted paintings made by real hands instead of reproductions made with machines, there are plenty of online and real life places to find original paintings.
Original paintings made of well… actual paint … last much longer than reproductions and prints made from ink and sprayed onto paper.
I make a lot of art but I also like to collect paintings myself. I typically set a modest annual budget, and enjoy the process of selecting that one favorite painting each year.
My top places to find affordable original art are:
Specializing in all things handmade, most everyone has heard of Etsy by now. Love it or hate it, it is still one of my favorite places to discover undiscovered budding artists who paintings have a fresh, authentic feel.
Etsy is big, with thousands of paintings and even more prints. To weed out the prints and make sure you fall in love with originals simple search for subjects that appeal to you plus the words original art or original painting. Example: "whimsical original paintings" or "southern folk paintings"
Local Art Festivals
I prefer the outdoor, tent type. I love the fresh air and the mood of these events. But the reality is that many art festivals are real dogs – over advertised and over priced affairs featuring artwork that I can't afford. Just like real estate, the secret to great art fests is location, location, location. You just won't know until you go.
I use fests to scope out artists I like, then I make certain to follow them on facebook or twitter to get to know their work before I buy.
But hey, I only get to buy one painting a year. Depending on where you live and the local availability of art fests, if you find something that's love at first sight, fits your budget, and fits in your truck I advise you to go ahead and buy it while it's available.
Studio Tours
Local Open Studio Tours can be a great way to discover new artists. Often if you take the time to drive to their studio you will find a bargain section or smaller, more affordable works that you won't find at openings or exhibits.
It's ok to stop by just to look during an open studio event. The whole day is designed to invite the curious lookers into the artist's private studio space.
When you are traveling and have a spare afternoon, hit Google and search for nearby open studio tours. I have lucked out this way on more than one occasion.
Gritty Galleries
I called these gritty galleries because they are usually located in a gritty, less desirable but artsy part of large cities. Search for thrift stores, craft malls, or vintage shops. Often these type places have some funky cheap original paintings for sale. Many times they are located near other similar shops, some even specializing just in art.
You can also find "art district" brochurse at the visitor center. Sometimes these areas pan out, other times they are tourist traps – but you never know until you try.
I tend to stay out of the expensive "gold-frame" galleries. They kind where everything on the wall has a thick gold frame around it. Fun to look in these galleries, but they are over budget for most average collectors.

Shambhala Sun | January 2014
His son has been cancer free for six years now, but for
JAMES HANMER the meaning of Frosty the Snowman has changed forever.
I am standing at the front of the classroom, leaning on the
podium as thirty-three high school students stare at me. Some eyes are alive
with interest, others were glazed with boredom when they entered the classroom
and have not changed. My tattered copy of Don Quixote flops in my left
hand. The mad knight has fought windmills, puissant Biscayans, troublesome
sheep, and now, with dreamy persistence, searches for the golden helmet of
Mambrino. The eyes stare. A hand from the back rises. Who cares? asks the
young inquisitor. Why do we need to read this story?
I pause, because this is the most important question of the
whole school year. If I fail this question, the whole year is easily lost. We
tell stories to convince ourselves that our lives have meaning.
Then there is a knock at the door, and the English
department secretary peeks in. Mr. Hanmer, your wife is on the phone. She
needs to speak with you immediately. Its urgent.
This is not good. Stepping out of the classroom, I call her
and hear the unmistakable tenor of tears and worry in her voice. Come to the
hospital as fast as you can, she says. Something is wrong with Avelino.
Avelino, whom we usually call Nino, is our second son. He is
only twenty months old.
Entering the examination room, I see my wife delicately
holding our baby boy as a doctor shines a little flashlight into his eyes.
After a hushed introduction, I am silent.
The doctor leaves the room, saying hes going to bring in a
colleague. I hug my wife and touch Ninos cheek with the back of my hand. Two
doctors enter, then three. I have a sinking feeling in my chest and a
constricting sensation in my throat. There is the smell of hand soap and
hospital, the sound of squeaky shoes on pearl-white floors and machines quietly
whirring. One of the doctors finally speaks: He has a tumor.
Hours later, we leave the hospital, knowing only that our
child has retinoblastomamalignant cancer of the eye. Fear comes in waves; deep
sorrow comes in torrents. For weeks my heart is flooded with both. In my
classroom I teach that journal writing can be a life-saving practice; late one
night I find my journal in my bedside drawer and, in an attempt to make sense
of what was happening to my little boy, to my family, to me, I put pen to
Nino has cancer. Seeing it written down hurts my stomach.
Over the last three weeks of hospital visits and wrenching fears, it has become
unreal. Nino has cancer. Now it is real again. I will never again read Ninos
favorite book, Frosty the Snowman, in the same way.

ExecuJet FBO Chain Grows in Germany, As Operations Hub Shifts To UK
Germany's new Berlin Brandenburg International Airport (formerly Schoenefeld) has emerged as one of ExecuJet's most significant handling centers in Europe. The company is responsible for operating the whole general aviation terminal, including its own FBO. ExecuJet has also established a base at Frankfurt International Airport, as well as a satellite operation at the nearby Egelsbach Airport.
Zurich in remains ExecuJet's largest FBO. Since the last EBACE show, it has expanded its footprint in Switzerland through a joint venture with the Ruag FBO at Geneva, for which it is providing marketing and IT support.
Cambridge Airport in the UK also has become a very significant hub for ExecuJet. It is more than a year since it started operating the FBO there under a joint venture with the Marshall group, which owns the airport. Since then, the company has made Cambridge the hub for its operations, with 50 staff based there to support flights across Europe, the Middle East and as far away as Australia. It also has a charter booking team in the UK, and intends to move its finance and back office staff there, while retaining its Swiss aircraft operator's certificate.

12 Step Program for Weight Loss
At the heart of any 12 step program is a realization that one's life has spiraled out of control. Help is needed. Those who struggle with their weight can feel just as helpless as others and the structure of a 12 step program, along with the support provided in a group, can mean the difference between success and continued failure.
Obesity has been shown time and time again to be a life threatening disease. Worse, it's reached epidemic proportions in the US. It ought to be obvious by now that all the plans and diet fads aren't really stopping the trend. This is best explained by realizing the issue is a behavioral one -- change behavior and any calorie restriction will work; fail to change the behavior and none will. The second element, just as important, is that maintenance is as critical as initial weight loss.
12 Step programs for weight loss can be found at Over-eaters Anonymous and Food Addicts Anonymous (now, Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous) are two. Both have excellent websites with information and tests you can take to see if their programs fit you.
The best recommendation is to find a couple of meetings near where you live (in either organization) and go. You won't be ridiculed. These people know where you are at. You also won't be "sold" on a diet plan.
The purpose of attending different meetings is to see how well you fit with a particular group. Even though all will generally follow the same 12 steps, the people making up a group give it a unique character and each is run independently. You will find one that resonates with you best.
The actual steps revolve around accepting you have a problem (and seeking help), followed by dealing with all the problems being overweight has caused. The last step is to pass along your new understanding and success to others.

What is the mood and when in time does "The Monkey's Paw" take place?
3 Answers | Add Yours
The Monkey's Paw takes place in the early 1900s. The mood that the author is trying to create is consistent with that of a horror story. The story actually contains some elements of Greek tragedy: it starts out hopeful and happy and ends with despair and tragedy.
Mood refers to the feeling the author wants the reader to understand as they read. W.W. Jacobs uses mood very successfully in this story.
He creates a mood of loneliness, depression, and misery through his words. For example, when he says:
"The cold light of the winter moon cast a slant of light on far wall, capturing the shadow of the hunched old woman as she peered expectantly at the graveyard."
^Horrible answer. Anyway, I think the mood of The Monkey's Paw would be fear, lonliness and terror.
