Jérérmie will be spending the Winter 2012 term at Arizona State University, WP Carey School of Business. Brian will spend the Fall term at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School.
Transformed by Travel: Luxury, poverty, a learning moment
In February of this year, I was part of the Desautels Faculty of Management's Hot Economic Cities of the World tour. I went to India for 10 days with 29 McGill undergrads and MBA students. In New Delhi, it took us more than 15 minutes to merely cross the road to our hotel, as an astonishing variety of traffic flowed, clattered and bleated its way by us. –Article by Karl Moore
Talking Management with Karl Moore: A less intimidating tea shop
Karl Moore of the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University, speaks to David Segal, a 2004 BCom graduate from McGill and the CEO of David's Tea.
U of G student helps build community and get rid of clutter through an app
The Next 36 splits the students into groups of four, provides each group with $50,000 in seed capital to put toward their mobile venture, gives 180 hours of instruction and pairs each group with a successful business leader. Johnson teamed up with Eran Henig from the University of Toronto, Gideon Hayden (BCom'11) from McGill University and Ronen Benin from the University of Western.
He's in no hurry to boldly go anywhere
Ordinarily, a cemetery is the last place you'd expect to find William Shatner. The Montreal-born former Stratford spear-carrier, whose first series role was as Ranger Bob on The Canadian Howdy Doody Show, has recently earned stars on the both the Hollywood and Toronto walks of fame, an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, McGill University, and a Governor General's Award.
Local family's "Marathon of Health" leaves Ottawa
Sunday was declared "Marathon of Health Day" in Ottawa as a local family continues their fundraising run across the continent. The Chicoine family from Wakefield reached the city on Friday and made an appearance at City Hall Sunday. Their "Marathon of Health" has taken them from a May start in Vancouver to the nation's capital to promote what they call 'well-care" and children's fitness.
Canadian universities join global race to spark innovation
At McGill University, the Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies imitated the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by starting an annual business plan competition three years ago – the Dobson Cup, now worth $50,000 – as a way of "trawling for entrepreneurs" across all disciplines.
Benefit roast honours 'irresistible' volunteer
More than 400 people attended a benefit roast honouring Marcel Côté. Richard Pound(BCom'62, BCL'67 & LLD'09), a partner at the law firm Stikeman Elliott, former chancellor of McGill University and a former vice-president of the International Olympic Committee, replaced Côté as chairman at the foundation's annual general meeting.
Teen to begin university with many options
If he really needs to, Riverside secondary school graduate Matthew Hunter can take solace in the old truism that no one is perfect. But chances are, after finishing Grade 12 with a 99.57 per cent average, the 17-year-old scholar won't need a lot of comforting. He has chosen to study business when he attends McGill University in Montreal in September, just to keep his options open.
Why James McGill is the Greatest McGillian, by Chloe Kangas (BCom'11)
A recent graduate of the Desautels Faculty of Management, Chloe Kangas, BCom'11, shares why she thinks University founder James McGill is the Greatest McGillian of all time.
Two McGill students help Haitian artists by featuring their work on unique, locally-made T-shirts
Haiti and its people left an indelible mark on Matt Brightman and Martin Weiss. Now, they're trying to do something life-changing in return. The two McGill University students have started a business, Moral Fibers, that features the work of Haitian artists on unique, limited-run T-shirts sold online at their website (www.moralfibers.co).
McGill entrepreneurs create socially innovative startups
A T-shirt retailer that aims to help lift developing-world artists out of poverty and a not-for-profit laundry service designed as a transitional employment program for Montreal's homeless are the top prize winners in McGill University's 2011 Dobson Cup business-plan competition.

Roger Barbee: Life is very much like a waxing gibbous moon
March 5, 2015
Last night while waiting for dinner and talking with Mary Ann, I looked out the window at the breakfast table where we have morning coffee. It faces east, and offers a fine view of Short Mountain and its foot that leads to Edinburg Gap. I was startled by what I saw — it looked like a full moon, and I told Mary Ann so. And directly above it was a large spot of light that I later found out to be Jupiter. Later when I walked the hound for his night exercise, I stood with him in the back, looking upward to marvel at such a sight.

Logic Pro X 10.0.7 improves 12-core support, streamlines interface
updated 04:48 pm EDT, Tue May 13, 2014
Solves problems with Low Latency Mode, XML import/export
Apple has issued a minor update to Logic Pro X, v10.0.7. For owners of 12-core Mac Pros, the software now supports 24 processing threads. Apple has also made some attempts at streamlining Logic's interface, for instance by allowing current volume, pan, and send values for selected tracks to be inserted at the playhead position, and for automation to be copied and pasted to any location via the Marquee tool. Another new option permits MIDI volume and pan data to adjust an instrument plugin instead of the channel strip.
The update also addresses several bugs, most notably a problem with Low Latency Mode that would cause plugins with integrated step sequencers -- like Drummer and Ultrabeat -- to fall out of sync. XML import and export for Final Cut Pro X has been been improved, and glitches related to snap and alignment guides have been fixed.
Logic Pro X is $200 new, but the update is free to existing users. The app requires OS X 10.8.4 or later.

Cazenovia After a quiet spring, the controversy between Owera Vineyards and the town of Cazenovia over the winery's allowed operating procedures has reared up again — this time in the form of an appeal to the town zoning board of appeals over a recent decision by the town codes enforcement officer denying Owera's plans for a June 10 event. The winery is repeating its previous claim that its three-season events tent is an indoor, not an outdoor, structure as the town claims, and is offering a new argument that its hours of operation as approved under its original site plan approval are not enforceable by the town.
The issue arose after Owera Vineyards scheduled a Jewish Community Center annual meeting and awards ceremony to be held from 6 to 9:30 p.m. on June 10 in its events tent. Under Owera's original 2012 site plan approval, all outdoor events — and the town considers the event tent to be an outdoor structure because it is not permanent — must end by 5 p.m.
Town Codes Enforcement Officer Roger Cook determined that the event would violate the winery's permitted operations because it would not end by 5 p.m. and because the operation of the tented event center is "considered to be outside." Owera subsequently rescheduled the event to occur on June 22 from 1 to 4 p.m.
On Friday, June 6, Owera's attorneys at Menter, Rudin and Trivelpiece filed an appeal of Cook's decision with the Town Zoning Board of Appeals, claiming that the decision, "was not supported by either the town code or Owera's site plan approvals and it conflicted with both plain language and common sense … [and therefore] lacked a rational basis and is therefore arbitrary and capricious or an abuse of discretion." Owera's appeal also claimed that the decision would have a "significant impact" on the winery's future operations.

Taking a cue from 18th-century pastiches and masques, several artists have stitched together an evening that throws the lovers from A Midsummer Night's Dream onto Prospero's enchanted island in The Tempest and has everyone singing arias from a variety of Baroque composers.

One way or another, Gov. Bill Ritter's plan to freeze local property-tax rates was destined to go to a vote of the people. Now that the General Assembly has approved the measure, that vote will not come as the ballot measure that Republican legislators wanted and Republican Attorney General John Suthers advised.
It will come, instead, in the form of a re-election issue.
"This is a tax increase, and we won't let anyone forget it," Republican Sen. Nancy Spence threatened Tuesday before majority Democrats froze property-tax rates in most school districts at existing levels and froze them at a lower level in 34 of the state's poorest districts.
The tax-increase argument will be an interesting sell. As touring school children streamed in and out of the Senate balcony Tuesday, Republican state chairman Dick Wadhams hunkered down for the whole two-hour debate. It was emotional.
"It is about the children, damn it," Democratic Sen. Bob Hagedorn angrily shouted at his Republican colleagues.
Fellow Democrat Chris Romer appropriated the title of Al Gore's documentary about global warming to talk about the "Inconvenient Truth" of lousy funding for higher education. The tax-rate freeze is supposed to raise local funding for local schools, reducing pressure on the over-extended state education fund and freeing up money to boost higher ed.
Republican Sen. Tom Wiens responded with a movie of his own - "Gone with the Wind." That, Wiens said, describes what will happen to home owners' money when property values increase, but tax rates don't fall.
Republican Attorney General John Suthers said Friday that the tax-rate freeze should go to the voters so that it doesn't violate TABOR.
The tax freeze's legislative sponsor, Sen. Sue Windels, countered that voters in the 175 affected school districts already approved measures to suspend TABOR. A state school-funding bill re-imposed those limits, Windels argued.
There is a problem when state government picks up an increasing share of the education costs of rich towns like Aspen, while Colorado's support for public colleges is among the nation's worst.
Still, a lawsuit challenging the tax-rate freeze is almost inevitable. Suther's opinion virtually assured it. The AG's action very likely precludes him from defending the state against any suit.
The governor "thinks the attorney general is wrong," replied Ritter's spokesman, Evan Dreyer.
Ritter issued a statement Tuesday that said, in part, "Today's action by the Senate and last week's action by the House will make a difference not just in our K-12 education system, but for higher education, health care and other services provided by the state ..."
This is the big-picture approach that Democrats must take to overcome the Republican tax-increase mantra. Colorado is a different place than when Wadhams engineered the elections of tax-cutting ideologues such as Gov. Bill Owens and U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard.
"We've gone through a recession, budget cuts and Referendum C (which suspended TABOR refunds for five years)," said John Straayer of Colorado State University. "The kitchen- table issues have shifted from ideology and endless tax cuts to potholes and schools."
Still, if this bogs down into a debate about whether an increase in your home's assessment equals a tax increase, nobody wins. The Republicans must overcome a reputation as naysayers without an alternative. The Democrats cannot get lost in the details.
"The real question," Straayer said, "is if we are at a point where one party or the other would articulate a vision for the future of Colorado and put an honest price on it. We seem to have lost the connection between services and costs."

How can I convince my boss to make a minor temporary adjustment to allow me to work with other leaders instead of this certain leader because I feel that he is picking on me and looking for trouble and problems not because of pregnancy but in general?
They think that's special treatment and cannot grant that request and says that I have to learn to deal with everyone and wherever they put me in.
I am just thinking about the pregnancy's sake and want to take good care of it
They do know about pregnancy but what can I do about this?

TCU Escapes Manhattan With 52-45 Win Over Kansas StateTCU trailed at halftime 35-17.
5 Big 12 Matchups To Watch In 2015Two teams sit firmly atop the Big 12 as the 2015 season approaches. Here are five Big 12 Conference games that you should make a point to watch.
TCU Beats K-State For Its 1st Big 12 Win StreakTCU started the season with 13 consecutive non-conference wins. Now, the Horned Frogs finally have their first winning streak in the Big 12, with a victory over Kansas State.
Williams Leads Texas Tech Past K-State 64-47Devaugntah Williams and Toddrick Gotcher scored 22 and 15 points, respectively, to lead the Red Raiders to a 64-47 win against Kansas State on Wednesday night.
Kansas State Women Upset Texas 66-57Kindred Wesemann made eight 3-pointers for a career-high 25 points and Kansas State beat No. 20 Texas 66-57 on Wednesday.
Kansas State Holds On To Top Texas Tech 58-51Kansas State coach Bruce Weber called a 58-51 victory over Texas Tech on Wednesday night a "maturity game," the kind of performance that proves just how far a team has come.
Oklahoma State Women Beat Kansas State 69-47Liz Donohoe had 15 points and a season-high 10 rebounds and all five starters scored in double figures as No. 21 Oklahoma State women beat Kansas State 69-47 on Wednesday night.

Cell proliferation is necessary for the regeneration of oral structures in the anthozoan cnidarian Nematostella vectensis
Kewalo Marine Laboratory, Pacific Biosciences Research Center, University of Hawaii, 41 Ahui Street, Honolulu, HI, 96813, USA
BMC Developmental Biology 2012, 12:34 doi:10.1186/1471-213X-12-34Published: 4 December 2012
The contribution of cell proliferation to regeneration varies greatly between different metazoan models. Planarians rely on pluripotent neoblasts and amphibian limb regeneration depends upon formation of a proliferative blastema, while regeneration in Hydra can occur in the absence of cell proliferation. Recently, the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis has shown potential as a model for studies of regeneration because of the ability to conduct comparative studies of patterning during embryonic development, asexual reproduction, and regeneration. The present study investigates the pattern of cell proliferation during the regeneration of oral structures and the role of cell proliferation in this process.
In intact polyps, cell proliferation is observed in both ectodermal and endodermal tissues throughout the entire oral-aboral axis, including in the tentacles and physa. Following bisection, there is initially little change in proliferation at the wound site of the aboral fragment, however, beginning 18 to 24 hours after amputation there is a dramatic increase in cell proliferation at the wound site in the aboral fragment. This elevated level of proliferation is maintained throughout the course or regeneration of oral structures, including the tentacles, the mouth, and the pharynx. Treatments with the cell proliferation inhibitors hydroxyurea and nocodazole demonstrate that cell proliferation is indispensable for the regeneration of oral structures. Although inhibition of regeneration by nocodazole was generally irreversible, secondary amputation reinitiates cell proliferation and regeneration.
The study has found that high levels of cell proliferation characterize the regeneration of oral structures in Nematostella, and that this cell proliferation is necessary for the proper progression of regeneration. Thus, while cell proliferation contributes to regeneration of oral structures in both Nematostella and Hydra, Nematostella lacks the ability to undergo the compensatory morphallactic mode of regeneration that characterizes Hydra. Our results are consistent with amputation activating a quiescent population of mitotically competent stem cells in spatial proximity to the wound site, which form the regenerated structures.

When three years ago I started to practice Threat Modeling I thought it is most boring part of security (which itself is not the most fascinating thing to most of people). I hated it since it seemed too boring - interview folks, read tones of specs, and write documents. Come on! I am .Net code guy! But fortunately to me I was motivated by good reasons to keep doing it - one cannot build good design from security perspective unless security is considered through out the design process itself. That is essentially the one and single reason to do Threat Modeling.
Now what approach to take? How actually to conduct Threat Modeling? Here came the confusion...
These are some really good sources of knowledge I tried to adopt:
Seems like we are really crazy about the topic, lets do some search, hmm indeed we really like it:
So which one is the best?
Depends on who you are. Are you developer, architect, IT guy, security auditor, security consultant, doing line of business app, ISV guy, what is your budget, what is your dev culture? There are lot more attributes.
So while I cannot map each each and every attribute to the above Threat Modeling techniques (which have a lots in common anyway), I found the big chunks of the process while conducting Threat Modeling that work for me and my customers. It is also very aligned to Security Language That Every One Understands
Here are my big chunks:
It is not my invention rather what I absorbed from the resources above and adjusted to my needs.
Today I just love Threat Modeling and the above approach works for me - I am still got paid for this :)
Great blog there -- to answer your question of which one is best, I like to look at it as which one is appropriate. This is what I used to tell customers back when I worked on the ACE team and my customers now: for threat modeling line of business applications (LOB), you want to use the ACE threat modeling process. For independent software vendor (ISV) scenarios, that is you are developing software and shipping it to be installed on customer computers (like Word, SQL Server, etc.) then you want to use Frank Swiderski's process.
Incidentally, Frank doesn't work for Microsoft anymore so might be interesting as to what he comes out with next :P
Again, great blog!

I also learned that 4.0 is very strict about which user uploads files. With 3.0, if you accidentally uploaded something under root you may never know the difference, With 4.0 you forum will fall apart and how depends on which file you edited and uploaded. You have to use your cpanel user. You must!!!! The fix for this is to download the offending file/files and upload again as the cpanel user while overwriting the old edited file/files.
It took 13 days for my critical tix to be resolved. LOL.. I just looked, it was suphp in my case. I kept running that query on a regular basis until it was solved.
Lab Rats Rule liked a post in a topic: Emergency ticket on weekend
Do you run suphp? I think this may possibly be it... Maybe... I had too many issues and they are jumbled in my brain. LOL... If you have Supho you can blame this one on lack of documentation for constants.php.... IPS can do it, or you would need to run a database query I can provide. This is a temp fix so you need to fix your issue or it will keep happening. We used to have tools for this, Grrr...
You need to rebuild your cache. There is an underlying issue if I can jar my memory. 4.0 is different to the 3.0 in a lot if ways. Also extremely buggy.
And how did they fix this? Perhaps by using one of the rebuild/cache tools we can't have? Because using those don't fix the issue?
We shall see... My bets are on themes and cache, The other person this happened to added a mod.
Just what exactly do you have access to? Can your webhost or you restart some services to see if this helps?
You are right! Actually I found it and the resolution is missing from the post. Did you read your error files?
Wish I could help... You could be waiting a long time unless you show IPS the money. I did see something similar happen to another person. Want me to look for the post?

What do they think we are, idiots that will fall for anything? .But just this once they didn't try to sell me hosting after they mentioned my "ailing" server. Whoopie! Anymore I feel like I am working with snake oil salesmen that will tell your anything,
Ok this just takes the cake and I am fit to be tied. After a long drawn out process to fix what was basically a session type of bug, the second support left my admin CP, my sessions were screwed up. So what do they fricken do after I report this? They tell me to open a new ticket and marked the current one resolved! Leaving me with a dangerous situation with admins with sessions that will not go away. And I will not get a response now for days! You are just the worst!!!! What has become of IPS? Really? What?

August Pacific Coast meet: Northwest MogFest.
Expand Messages
- Here's a little video tid-bit on Northwest MogFest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsWLIgcctWk
Hello to all.
We've made it through July, which means that next month is MOGust on Waldersee Farm in rural northwest Oregon. The Northwest MogFest is August 16th-19th, 2012, our thirteenth annual event. Earlier this year, we had the bright idea of collecting recipes and publishing a commemorative event cookbook. Instead of going that route, we are requesting that those attending feel free to bring thirteen of whatever suits your fancy. Judging will be totally arbitrary and performed by the trusted NWMF gnomes with the top three entries receiving awards. These items do not need to be a food product.
The common theme remains the celebration of the unique, the out of the ordinary, the extraordinary ... both the people and the vehicles present. We hope to see more Crosleys, Volvo C-series, Land Rovers, Range Rovers/Discos, FC101s, Mercedes G-wagens, Mercedes Dusseldorfer vans/busses, Sprinters, VW Typ 82 and Typ 166, Things, LT and Iltis trucks, VW Syncro Vanagons and any other VWs including Westfalia and other campers, Bajas, Tuaregs, French Lohr 501s, Tatras, DAFs, MAN trucks, Steyr-Puch 680s, Mitsubishi expedition trucks and any other interesting and uncommon high-mobility vehicles. There may be a few domestic ex-military trucks sporting European badging as camouflage.
We have thoroughly enjoyed attending the Great Pacific Northwest Microcar and Minicar Extravaganza held in Forest Grove the past two years and I have no doubt enthusiasts of that automotive Microcosm will bring a whole new facet to the NWMF experience. Hopefully, besides Crosleys we will see the Isettas and Messerschmitts, Minis and Mokes, tiny Subarus, Hondas, Suzukis and Toyotas, DKWs, DAFs, Goggomobiles, Vespas, Fiats, Citroens, NSUs, Lloyds, Velorex, Zundapps and others. Coots, Westcoaster Mailsters, Cushmans, Urals, Motorschubkarre and KleinMantisWagens are also encouraged to make an appearance.
Back again this year will be the slip-n-slide, zip line, women's heavy equipment operation contest, axe-throwing and the ever present phenomenal off-road driving opportunities. Meals, on-site camping, swimming, the evening theater, showers and the usual fun will all be here just waiting. The two local fire departments may be dreaming up some sort of competition and the ladder truck will be back. There are a few surprises in the works. Last year, it was the Walking Beast. The year before were the helicopter rides. This year? You will just have to come and see for yourself. And should you find NWMF too boring, we have the Spruce Goose/Evergreen Air and Space Museum/Water Park, countless wineries, Spirit Mountain Casino and the entire Pacific Ocean just a few miles down the road.
If you have never attended before, we encourage all to search You Tube for Northwest MogFest entries and look through the website at http://www.northwestmogfest.com Keep in mind that this is an invitation-only event but all you need to do is have an interest in attending and ask to be invited through the website. Vehicle ownership is not a requirement. In 2008, a DVD documentary was filmed on the farm during that year's NWMF event. I have it on good authority that a much longer documentary will be filmed at this year's event.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Hope to see many of you in mid-August on the farm.
Take care and safe travels.
Em & Jim and the entire NWMF family
Waldersee Farm
Sheridan, Oregon

Oracle, Google in copyright trial
SAN FRANCISCO — A jury has started deliberations in a closely watched copyright infringement trial pitting Oracle against Google. The federal case in San Francisco centers on Oracle's allegations that Google's popular Android software for mobile devices relies on technology stolen from Java. That's a programming platform that Oracle Corp. acquired in 2010 as part of its $7.3 billion acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Google Inc. says it drew upon small parts of Java not protected by copyright and traditionally have been freely available to all programmers. The case was turned over to the 12-person jury Monday after two weeks of testimony and arguments. Oracle is seeking hundreds of billions of dollars in damages. After a verdict on copyright infringement is reached, the parties will address allegations of patent infringement.
Ex-exec sentenced in fraud case
SAN FRANCISCO — A former high-tech executive convicted of defrauding investors of at least $30 million was sentenced Monday to 22 years in prison after a judge denounced him for fleecing nearly 100 victims to finance an "obscene lifestyle" of private jets, gaudy jewelry and Swiss bank accounts. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said Samuel "Mouli" Cohen was "nearly sociopathic" for refusing to show remorse for actor Danny Glover and others who suffered after he told them a company Cohen launched called Ecast that made electronic jukeboxes for bars was about to be acquired by Microsoft Corp. The fraud caused the collapse of the nonprofit charity Vanguard Public Foundation, which Glover and singer Harry Belafonte founded in 1972, prosecutors said.
Pepsi to tweet to new generation
NEW YORK — PepsiCo Inc. is tweeting to a new generation of music lovers. The No. 2 soda company is partnering with Twitter to provide streaming videos of live music concerts to Pepsi's followers on the social networking site. The deal is part of Pepsi's new global ad campaign that also will feature a TV ad with singer Nicki Minaj. The company, based in Purchase, N.Y., isn't yet saying which musicians will be featured for the Twitter concerts this summer. Terms of the deal with Twitter were not disclosed. The marketing push comes as Pepsi looks to refresh its business and win back soda drinkers from The Coca-Cola Co. Pepsi has been losing market share to Coca-Cola in recent years.

Pope Francis to childfree couples: Even your dogs suck
For all of the misogyny inherent to the Catholic church (and evangelical and conservative Christianity in general), newbie Pope Francis has gotten a lot of attention for his (relatively) more progressive views and policies in his year of service. And yet. On Monday, Il Papa celebrated Mass with a group of 15 lengthily married couples to celebrate their marital milestones and deride those selfish, fruitless couples who would rather have pets and vacation homes than kids.

I definitely want to pet your dog.
But I still think Farhad Manjoo is correct here when he says that many dog owners are a little too lenient with their pets. Not everyone likes dogs; a lot of people (me included, actually) are allergic to dogs. A lot of people are scared of dogs — yes, even your cute one.

Good advice from smart people
Do you read Ask Polly? I love Ask Polly. She and Captain Awkward are my favorite advice-givers in all of internet land. And she has some particularly good advice this week, for both a woman who's boyfriend isn't treating her right, and another who is afraid to end a dysfunctional relationship with a heroin addict. They're both scared of being alone. Polly says, in a way that feels especially right to me at this particular moment in my life (which is how we always read advice columns, isn't it?): Continue reading

The Meat We Eat
True story: I was mostly vegetarian (technically pescetarian) for 11 years. Then I moved to Sardinia to be a nanny for an Italian family. After a few weeks of not eating any meat, I started to feel bad about the fact that the family always had to make a different dish for me, so I abandoned my vegetarianism. The first piece of meat that I tucked into was a tough little hockey puck with some garlic and butter on top. I figured it was over-cooked beef until, after polishing it off, the father of the family asked me if I enjoyed the cavallo. Continue reading

Can you help a cat-lady out?
This is Peg-Leg Pete ("Petey" for short). Petey, as I mentioned in an earlier post, is a little guy I adopted back in July. He is just the best and I love him. Pete came through the organization Brooklyn Animal Action, a group run by a small and extremely dedicated group of women in New York City. Much of the organization's funding comes from its volunteers. Without them, Petey — whose foot was crushed as a kitten and who has undergone multiple surgeries and weeks of daily vet visits — wouldn't be alive, let alone sitting on my couch right now. So they are an organization very dear to my heart. They're also hosting a big fundraiser on Sept. 10th from 6-10pm at Stone Park Cafe in Park Slope. The invite is here. If you're in the area, I'd encourage you to attend — Stone Park is a great restaurant, and the event is for a good cause (not to mention having great food and a silent auction). They're also honoring Dr. Yvonne Szacki, the vet who did Pete's surgery and provided his daily care for months. She is wonderful, and this honor is well-deserved. Continue reading

Ultimately, these findings will help to expand ways to both detect and treat AD.
Growing evidence supports the concept that AD is fundamentally a metabolic syndrome that leads to abnormalities linked to brain insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) resistance. In AD, brain insulin and IGF resistance and deficiencies begin early and worsen with severity of the disease. The rationale behind the progression of the disease is that insulin-resistance dysregulates lipid metabolism and promotes ceramide accumulation, thereby increasing inflammation and lipid metabolism, causing toxic ceramides to accumulate in the brain. The end result is increased stress that threatens the survival and function of neurons in the brain.
The present study was designed to gain a better understanding of how brain insulin resistance becomes progressive and contributes to the neurodegeneration in AD, focusing on the roles of ceramides and stress. The researchers studied the same brain samples used previously to demonstrate progressive impairments in brain insulin/IGF signaling with increasing severity of AD.

David Andrews has Down syndrome, but when his high school basketball team gave him a chance to play, they found out he really is good at shooting hoops.
Andrews started off the season as a bench warmer for his team at Germantown High School outside Memphis, Tenn. But when the team was up substantially during one game, the coach put him in and found out what a gold mine Andrews had to offer.
The teen made shot after shot. Andrews' specialty is the three-pointer, which he makes 40 percent of the time, an average that's better than that of NBA star LeBron James.
Andrews soon won a spot as a starter for the team, helping them clinch a county championship this season and gaining the admiration of his teammates who call him an inspiration. His story is even drawing comparisons to the New York Knicks' Jeremy Lin who up until recently was a bench warmer before becoming an instant sensation.
"Our team went 22 and 1 and won the county championship and that's all great, but keeping David on my team was the best decision I've made all year," Andrews' coach told ABC News.

Moral of the story: Disabled does not mean incapable!
Peter Singer, take notes. Lots of notes.
This is a fabulous story…and young man. Because I'm a social worker/ counselor (with a disability of my own), I would love to know how he has dealt with his disability over the years…the negatives and how he overcame them.
What an athlete! This is a wonderful, touching story!
You go David!! Show um' up. We are all so very proud of you :)

East Raisinville Frenchtown United Methodist Church has a new pastor and a new name.
On Nov. 6, the church became Heritage United Methodist Church.
The new name honors the church's past and celebrates its new ministries, said the Rev. Katie Waggoner, who became pastor July 1.
A name change has been considered for the past 10-15 years.
"(The old name) was a mouthful. We're doing all kinds of great new things," said the Rev. Waggoner.
Among them are missions and a focus on local ministries. During Communion, for example, an offering of food, household goods, personal items, etc., is taken to benefit a different group. Trick-or-treating for UNICEF and a Christmas pageant also took place this year.
"We're also doing a big focus on working with children," said the Rev. Waggoner. "(There was) not much for children before."
The church, 4010 N. Custer Rd., also has begun collaborating with other area United Methodist churches. This year, a combined Thanksgiving and a longest night service were held.
"We're really trying to do a lot of neat things with all four together," she explained.
Heritage United Methodist Church began 149 years ago and has had several names, including United Brethren Church, until that denomination merged with the Methodist Episcopal Church to create the United Methodist Church in 1968.
In the late 1980s, the East Raisinville church merged with Frenchtown United Methodist Church, and the two names were combined.
Today, the church has about 46 members, which doesn't include children. The Rev. Waggoner's current focus is church growth. A membership class is planned.
"We're really growing. (I enjoy) helping people to recognize that they are beloved by God (and) helping them grow in faith and the spiritual walk," she said.
United Methodist churches, she said, are accepting.
"(We) don't have a set of beliefs," she added. "We're okay with you figuring out your own faith and relationship with God. We don't want to change you."

Oh, what this switchplate would do to streamline our time spent looking for misplaced things. Slip your to-be-mailed letters into the ledge on top and hang your keys on the hooks down below, and the essentials will always be at the ready when—and where—you need them.
Now here's a bright idea: breeze through the queue at the airport with these silicone carry-on travel bottles. At two ounces, they're small enough to join you on the plane, large enough to hold your shampoo, and durable enough to handle the overhead compartment.
