WEIRTON - The American Lung Association says air pollution levels in Brooke, Hancock and Jefferson counties have dropped considerably over the past year.
The organization's "State of the Air 2013" report puts the three-county metropolitan area in a tie with Wheeling for 22nd worst in the nation - significantly better than the 12th worst ranking the area had in last year's report.
All three counties showed distinct improvement in annual particle pollution levels. Brooke and Jefferson counties received a failing grade this year because the air quality standard has been made more protective of public health since the 2012 report, which had given them passing marks.
On the plus side, for the first time ever, Hancock County had zero unhealthy days of high short-term particle pollution, earning it an "A" and a place in the report's list of "Cleanest Counties" for short-term particle pollution. Last year Hancock County got a "C" grade.
Brooke and Jefferson counties also showed improvement in short-term particle pollution, though not as dramatic as Hancock's.
The report also found improvement in ozone levels in Hancock and Jefferson counties, though Hancock is still tied for second worst in the state. Ozone, otherwise known as smog, is the most widespread air pollutant, created by the reaction of sunlight on emissions from vehicles and other sources. When ozone is inhaled, it irritates the lungs, like a bad sunburn and can cause immediate health problems that continue days later. Ozone can cause wheezing, coughing, asthma attacks and premature death.
"The air in the Weirton-Steubenville region is certainly cleaner than when we started the 'State of the Air' report 14 years ago," said Deb Brown, president and chief executive officer of the American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic. "Not only did all monitors show real improvement in measures of ozone and particle pollution, but the air quality is far better compared to a decade ago."
The American Lung Association's "State of the Air 2013" report is an annual, national air quality "report card." The 2013 report - the 14th annual release - uses the most recent quality-assured air pollution data, compiled by the EPA, in 2009, 2010 and 2011, officials said. It comes from the official monitors for the two most widespread types of pollution, ozone and particle pollution, also known as soot. The report grades counties and ranks cities and counties based on their scores for ozone, year-round particle pollution and short-term particle pollution levels.

Assume Q is a quantum Lie group which allows a R matrix (with the usual quantum Yang-Baxter equation). Take the Jordan normal form J of R. Does a Q exist with offdiagonal J elements (i.e. R has defective eigenvalues)?
What is meant by a Quantum Lie Group here?
If we are talking about the quantized enveloping algebras of complex semisimple lie algebras $U_q(\mathfrak{g})$ then it is a fact that the action of the universal $R$-matrix on the tensor product of finite dimensional representations is semisimple i.e. its Jordan form is diagonal
I think a much stronger statement is true although I am missing some of the details.
The starting data is: $K$ is a commutative ring, $M$ is a $K$-linear braided monoidal category, and $V$ is an object of $M$.
Then for $n>0$ we have an algebra homomorphism from the group algebra of the $n$-string braid group $KB_n$ to $End(\otimes^n V)$. Then we can ask the general question: is the image of this homomorphism a semisimple algebra? There is a weaker version. For every object $W\in M$, $Hom(W,\otimes^n V)$ is a representation of $B_n$; then the question is: are all these representations completely reducible?
Now let $U$ be a Drinfeld-Jimbo quantised enveloping algebra over the field $K=\mathbb{Q}(q)$ and let $M$ be the category of finite dimensional representations. Then I propose that, for any $V$ all the above questions are answered affirmatively.
The proof is an application of the following:
Define a *-algebra to be an algebra with an antiinvolution. Then I believe that a sub *-algebra of a semisimple *-algebra is semisimple.
Then to apply this to the problem in hand it remains to show that $End(\otimes^n V)$ is a semisimple *-algebra and that the image is a sub *-algebra.
Have I overlooked something?

While introducing oneself, which should one say, "I am an account manager, or "I am the account manager"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
If you are the only account manager within the context referenced, then you would say I am the account manager. If there are others beside yourself, you should say I am an account manager.
E.g. assume you are the only account manager in the company you work for. Someone is asking about the company, and she asks what your position is. Then you should say I am the account manager. Suppose that you then go to a party, and someone asks you what you do for work. In that case, you would say I am an account manager (giving your general occupation), or I am the account manager of [the company I work for] (giving the position you hold within your company).
Both are correct depending on what you are trying to communicate.
"The" communicates "one." Thus, "the account manager" communicates that the organization has only one account manager, and you're it.
"A" and "an" communicate one thing from among multiple things. Thus, "an account manager" communicates a reference to multiple account managers, of which you are one.
Similarly. You can say "I saw a bear. The bear was angry." In this example, you saw one of multiple bears. The one bear that you saw was angry.

(November 15, 2012)--Bell County's largest nongovernment employer announced Thursday that new hires will need to be tobacco-free beginning January 1.
All Scott & White Healthcare facilities are smoke-free but now applicants looking for a job will need to be also.
Beginning in 2013, job seekers applying for positions within the company will be asked about their tobacco use and new hires will be randomly tested for tobacco use.
"Even those of us who are non-smokers are at risk through secondhand smoke. We have an obligation to not only treat disease, but also prevent it and protect others from potential harm," Scott & White Healthcare President and CEO Robert W. Pryor, MD, MBA said.
The new staffing policy will be in effect for all Scott & White Hospitals, clinics and affiliated businesses like Scott & White Health Plan and Scott & White Hospice and Homecare.
The policy excludes hospital partners like Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center and Metroplex Hospital System.
There are currently 14,000 Scott & White Healthcare employees in the service area which covers 29,000 square miles.

Health & Pregnancy
Chemo May Not Harm Unborn Baby
Feb. 9, 2012 -- There is reassuring news for women who are pregnant and facing treatment for cancer.
A new study shows little evidence that exposure to chemotherapy in the womb in the second and third trimesters leads to health problems or developmental delays in childhood.
Children in the study whose mothers had an average of three to four cycles of chemotherapy during pregnancy were subjected to a battery of tests to assess their general health, intelligence, and behavioral development.
The tests suggested that fetal exposure to chemotherapy after the first trimester is not associated with developmental and health issues.
Intelligence scores were significantly lower among children who were born prematurely, but early delivery, and not exposure to chemotherapy, was thought to be the cause.
Researcher Frederic Amant, MD, PhD, of Belgium's Leuven Cancer Institute says the findings make it clear that planned early delivery to avoid such exposure should be avoided in most cases.
"This is a common practice, but it is not a practice that can be supported," Amant says. "After the first few months (of pregnancy), exposure to chemotherapy appears to be safer than premature delivery."
Chemo After First Trimester Safe
As many as 1 in 1,000 pregnancies occur in women who have malignancies requiring treatment, according to one study.
Although there is general agreement that chemotherapy should be avoided during the first trimester of pregnancy -- when the birth defect risk is greatest -- there is less agreement about the safety of exposure to cancer drugs later in pregnancy.
Until now, there has also been little follow-up of children born to women treated for malignancies during pregnancy, Amant says.
The new study, published in the journal The Lancet, included 70 exposed children whose average age was just over 2 1/2. The youngest child in the study was 1 1/2 and the oldest was 18.
Two-thirds of the children were born early and were less than 37 weeks' gestation at delivery.
The children underwent standard IQ tests, along with tests to assess their heart function, hearing, and physical and behavioral development.
Measures of behavior, general health, hearing, and growth were all within the normal range, but IQ scores were lower for the children born prematurely.
The researchers concluded that IQ scores increased by an average of 11 points for each additional month of gestation.

text: I finally got around to hanging Christmas lights this year. I bought gutter clips so I wouldn't have to permanently install anything, but I just realized that I don't have gutters along a pitched portion of my roof. The soffit there isn't perforated, so I can't hang them through it either. I did notice the metal flashing (maybe it's flashing? someone correct me if I didn't use the right term) is hung with nails underneath the eaves. Can I nail into that without worrying about moisture problems?

Drive-through live nativity Sunday
On Sunday from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., the Brilliant Christian Church and the Brilliant Christian Youth Ministries will join forces to present "a very special Christmas gift and blessing to Wells Township and surrounding communities," according to the Rev. Marc R. Tinstman, pastor.
They will conduct a drive-through live nativity at Brilliant's North Park on Market Street across from the American Legion building and just south of the Wells Township Haunted House.
The nativity will feature live performers and Christmas music and be stationed so viewers can slowly drive by the scenes, viewing them from their vehicles.
"Scenes to be featured will include the stable with sheep, Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus, angels from on high, shepherds in the field and Magi from the East," Tinstman said.
"For the best view, it is requested that you drive to see the nativity scene entering Market Street from the south and following the directions of the traffic control 'Roman soldiers.' Following the viewing, everyone is invited to Brilliant Christian Church at 323 High St. for some warm refreshments and fellowship provided by the Brilliant Christian Church Women's Fellowship," he said.
In the event of rain Sunday, the live nativity will be held Monday during the same times.
For information, call (740) 598-4851 or (740) 424-3689.

Shelby Post 82 downs Post 77 in seven innings
Published: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 11:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 11:29 p.m.
EAST FLAT ROCK — Henderson County Post 77 struggled once again at the plate on Friday night in American Legion baseball, falling 13-2 to Shelby in a 10-run rule shortened seven-inning game at East Henderson.
The short-handed Post 77 team (with only 12 available players) struck out 11 times in the first four innings against Tusculum College signee Ethan Carpenter.
"They are loaded with arms and their pitcher threw a heck of a game. I tip my hat to them. Early hits did not come for us. Even though we are struggling, we are getting better," Post 77 coach Ray Gill said.
Pitcher Caleb Williamson kept Post 77 (4-12, 3-7 in the Western N.C. division) in the game early, limiting the potent Post 82 lineup to just two runs in the first four innings, both coming on sacrifice fly balls.
"Caleb did a heck of a job for us in the first four innings keeping them off balance. He has not pitched a lot this year and was solid early for us tonight," said Gill.
Post 82's bats came alive in the fourth and fifth innings, as they put up four runs in both innings to blow the game open at 10-0.
Thomas Waddell (2-for-2) and Avery Sneed (1-for-3) both smacked one-out singles in the bottom of the sixth inning for Post 77. After advancing on a passed ball, they both scored on Noah Poteat's ground ball single past Post 82's second baseman to cut the lead to 10-2.
"We changed the lineup a bit tonight, hitting Tommy (Waddell) leadoff. He is our offensive catalyst, runs the bases well and can steal bases," said Gill.
Capping off the evening's scoring was Post 82 scoring three runs in the top of the seventh inning without a base hit.
Post 77 enters a busy portion of its schedule, with home games this week against Haywood County (Monday), Cherryville (Tuesday), Burke County (Thursday) and Rutherford County (Friday).

Voters at Hingham's April 28 Town Meeting will be asked to support spending an additional $475,000 related to the ongoing Water Company Acquisition Study Committee's exploration into whether or not it's feasible for the town to purchase the portion of Aquarion Water Company that serves Hingham, Hull, and part of Cohasset.
Selectmen Chair Bruce Rabuffo said the additional money is to "pay for legal and financial experts and other expenses" associated with the July 3, 2013 complaint filed by the town -- naming Aquarion as defendant -- requesting the court to decide the appropriate water company purchase price should the Town of Hingham decide to move forward in that direction. Town Meeting approval would be required.
The case is being heard in the Suffolk County Superior Court Business Litigation Session, which addresses complex business issues such as this one.
This funding would be on top of $320,000 appropriated at Town Meeting 2012 -- a reduced request at that time from an initially proposed $500,000 -- and the recent $150,000 reserve fund transfer to retain expert witnesses who are capable of testifying on the town's behalf. The $150,000 is to cover costs incurred prior to Town Meeting.
If approved, the total funding appropriation so far related to the study would be $945,000.
"If we were to pay $40 million on the purchase price, our estimate is that we will save $80 million over a 20-year period [through town ownership of the water company]," Rabuffo said. "It's all contingent on the purchase price."

GEARY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- A collaborative effort in Geary County is helping to improve the health of expectant mothers and their babies.
During a press conference Thursday at the Geary Community Hospital, the Mach of Dimes Kansas Chapter awarded a three year community grant to the Geary County Perinatal Coalition to support "Delivering Change: Healthy Moms-Healthy Babies"- an initiative that aims to improve the overall health of mothers and babies in Geary County.
Diane Daldrup, State Director of Program Services for the Kansas Chapter of the March of Dimes, presented the first check in the amount of $24,900. The grant will be used to fund a new prenatal model integrating prenatal education classes in conjunction with individualized prenatal appointments with doctors.
"It's almost like looking at two sides of the coin. You've got the clinical care and many of the moms will get clinical care but that community education piece- that seals the deal. That's what is really going to improve the birth rates in this area and we are thrilled to be able to help support that and move that forward," Daldrup said during the press conference.
"It's a need statewide. We have a fairly high infant mortality rate in our state. We have a high premature birth rate in our state- one in eight babies is born prematurely. Premature birth is the leading cause of infant mortality so there's a need here for programs like this. There's a need in other communities. What we're trying to do is target those areas where the highest need exists and the highest numbers of babies are born," she added.
"We know that prenatal care here is excellent. We do a great job of that in Geary County. Certainly, our partners on post do an excellent job as well. But we thought, why don't we take that outside of the box and see if we can improve our moms and their babies by empowering women through knowledge," said Terrah Stroda, chairwoman of Delivering Change.
A series of six education classes, from the March of Dimes curriculum "Becoming a Mom," will cover topics such as: prenatal care, pregnancy health, labor and delivery, infant feeding, infant care and postpartum health. The classes will be offered in addition to regularly scheduled appointments with health care providers.
The prenatal education classes are free and open to all Geary County residents. The first series of classes starts on Monday, August 20, 2012. To find out more information about the prenatal education classes, contact the Junction City-Geary County Health Department at 785-762-5788 or Flint Hills OB/GYN at 785-223-555.
The grant is one of many that the March of Dimes awards in pursuit of its mission to prevent birth defects and infant mortality.

MINGO JUNCTION - Graduates of the former Mingo High School gathered at three locations Saturday to reminisce about their school days while helping a local charity to assist residents in need.
Organizers of the Mingo High School Alumni Homecoming sold T-shirts and set out collection jars at each of the event's three locations to raise money for Mingo Social Services, a local agency that provides food to residents in need and assists them with utility costs.
Mingo alumni also aided older residents with yard work and other chores on the United Way's Day of Caring.
Article Photos
LOOKING BACK — Mingo High School alumni Bob Smith and Jodi Fitzgerald look over the many yearbook photos he photocopied for a display at the Mingo Junction American Legion Post during the Mingo High School Homecoming event held at the post, the Schutzen Club and Parkview Inn. Visitors to each location were treated to video footage of football games and other events from the school's past that were compiled by Fitzgerald's husband, Tom. -- Warren Scott
"Mingo is struggling right now and we wanted to reach out to the community," said Penny Hazelip Omstead, a 1979 alumna involved in planning the event.
On Saturday night Mingo alumni could mingle at the Mingo Junction American Legion Post, the Schutzen Club or the Parkview Inn and view film footage of of football games, performances by the school's marching band and other activities dating from 1957 to 1994, the school's last year.
Bob Smith, a 1978 Mingo alumnus and commander of the American Legion, said 1981 grad Tom Fitzgerald worked hard to transfer home movies, old videotape and photos into a digital format seen not only Saturday night but also on the group's Facebook page and Youtube channel.
Both can be found at MingoPride.
Some of the old football films had been relocated to the Mingo Junction Municipal Building after the school merged with Wintersville High School to become Indian Creek High School. Many were donated by former Mingo football coach Mike Herrick,and still more came from various sources.
"I just contacted everybody I could," said Fitzgerald, who added, "Anyone who gave me anything got back a free digital copy of what they lent me."
A former Mingo football player, Fitzgerald said the endeavor was "a little bit selfish because I got to see myself but I also enjoyed seeing the other teams, too."
He said the effort is not intended as a commentary on the school's consolidation, only as a look back at good times enjoyed during their own high school days.
"We're not against where we're going but we want to celebrate where we've been," he said.
Fitzgerald said some Mingo Junction residents have commented on being able to see deceased family members in their youth.
Tom's wife, Jodi, said a former member of the Mingo band enjoyed watching his grandfather, who also was in the band, being escorted across the football field by his father on Senior Night.
And a local woman whose late son had attended Mingo contacted them to say it was nice to see him play football again, she added.
Jodi said the effort has taught her and other Mingo alumni more about the school's earlier days, including its efforts to support the troops during World War II.
"Mingo High School raised over $70,000 in war bond sales. I thought it was neat that one high school in a small area could raise so much," she said.
Jodi said the Facebook page and Youtube channel also may be enjoyed by graduates of the schools that played against Mingo. The group only lacks football footage from 1963, 1964 and 1985, though they have posted a highlight reel from 1985.
The group also used Facebook to reach out to fellow alumni. The page has had more than 16,000 visits, and 122 used it to tell classmates of their plans to attend the homecoming.
Tom Matthews, a 1984 graduate now living in Pittsburgh, said he learned of the event through Facebook. "It's been on Facebook for almost a year now so hopefully it will have a nice turnout," Matthews said as he arrived at the American Legion.
Smith said the event evolved from an informal get-together initiated by Ed "Spuds" Fithen, owner of the Parkview Inn and a 1977 alumnus.
"Now we just combined everything and invite everybody to come down," said Smith, who also expressed thanks to Drew Karas, owner of The Schutzen, for his support.
"We didn't want to wait five or 10 years for a reunion," said Olmstead, who added too many older alumni have died to let too much time pass between get-togethers.
Donna Mackey, a 1959 graduate, said of about 70 in her class, about 15 have died.
"This is the first year I've been here for this," said Mackey, who added, "It's nice of them to do it and the way they've done it with the three bars makes it really nice."
Depending on the location, visitors could listen to three area bands, a local disc jockey or just chat with old friends.

It is easy to see that if $A\times B$ is homeomorphic to $A\times C$ for topological spaces $A$, $B$, $C$, then one may not conclude that $B$ and $C$ are homeomorphic (for example, take $C=B^2$, $A=B^{\infty}$). The question is: for which $A$ such conclusion is true? I saw long ago a problem that for $A=[0,1]$ it is not true, but could not solve it, and do not know, where to ask. Hence am asking here. The same question in other categories (say, metric spaces instead topological) also seems to have some sense.
For $A=[0,1]$, let $B$ be the 2-torus with one hole and $C$ be the 2-disc with two holes.
The products $B\times[0,1]$ and $C\times[0,1]$ can be realized in $\mathbb R^3$: the former as a thickening of the torus, the latter in a trivial way. Each of these products is a handlebody bounded by the pretzel surface (the sphere with two handles). It is easy to deform one to the other "by hand".
In the category of topological spaces, you can't in general even cancel the two-point discrete space. The only counterexample I know is a bit complicated though: Start with the disjoint union of two copies of the Stone-Cech compactification $\beta N$ of a countably infinite discrete space N, and glue them together along their remainders (i.e., identify each point p in one copy with the corresponding point in the other copy, except that you don't do this identification when p is in N). The resulting space, which I'll call B to match the notation in the question, has the curious property that, if you add one more isolated point to B, you get a space C that is not homeomorphic to B, but if you add a second isolated point then the result is homeomorphic to B. (The part about adding two isolated points is easy; just apply the successor map on N and its continuous extension on $\beta N$ to everything in sight, to make room for the two extra points --- just as in Hilbert's hotel. The part about adding one point is not so easy. I believe it's done (in dual form) in Halmos's "Notes on Boolean Algebras.") Once you have these curious facts about B, it's easy to check that B and C, though not homeomorphic, become homeomorphic when multiplied by a 2-point discrete space; the one extra point in C becomes two points, which can be absorbed into one of the copies of B.
Witold Rosicki has a lot of results of this sort (usually under some conditions on $B$ and $C$). For instance,
On decomposition of polyhedra into a Cartesian product of 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional factors
On uniqueness of decomposition of 4-polyhedron into Cartesian product of the 2-dimensional factors
On uniqueness of Cartesian products of surfaces with boundary (with J. Malešič, D. Repovš, A. Zastrow)
There also exist papers of a different flavor on this subject
All lens spaces have diffeomorphic squares (S. Kwasik, R. Schultz)
Non-cancellation and a related phenomenon for the lens spaces (A. J. Sieradski)
As for nice examples, there exist manifolds $M$ such that $M\times I$ is homeomorphic a ball. For instance, Mazur's 4-manifold, as described by Zeeman:
Zeeman also notes a parallel construction of Whitehead's example with surfaces $\times I$ (mentioned above by Sergei Ivanov): `Start with $S^0\times I^2$. In the boundary $S^0 \times S^1$, choose three linked $S^0$'s, each homologous to the first factor', etc.
A really cool cancellation theorem is about joins of polyhedra, rather than products (H. Morton):
How about Bing's example: The cartesian product of a certain nonmanifold and a line is $E^4$. The `other' factor is the dog-bone decomposition of three-space.
The question's been studied in the category of groups, too. R. Hirshon proved in [1] that finite groups can always be cancelled in direct products.
Hirshon mentions some other sufficient conditions for the cancellation theorem to hold. For instance, he says that in the treatise by L. Fuchs there is a proof of the fact that infinite cyclic abelian groups can also be cancelled (provided that either $B$ or $C$ is a commutative group).

"Most of the older generation knows how to grow healthy vegetables, but they can still come and pick up on tips they might not know," said SU Ag Center Extension Agent Odis Hill. "The newer generation is trying to eat healthier, so many of them are growing gardens in their back yards these days. We want to make sure they know what to do to make it as healthy and productive as possible."
Hill said they'll also be giving out plants to those who attend, funded by the SU Ag Center.
"It's not definite as to what types of plants we'll have, but we'll probably give out tomato, watermelon and cantaloupe plants, to name a few," Hill said.
Then on Thursday, April 11, the SU Ag Center will host a lawn care workshop.
"This is the one we have a big demand for," Hill said. "It will deal with lawns ranging from homeowners to commercial."
The lawn care workshop will be taught by Terry Washington, the SU Ag Center County Agent in Agriculture for Rapides Parish and Raful Brew, the LSU Ag Extension Agent in Union Parish.
"Both of these men are experts in lawn care," Hill said. "They've even worked in the lawn care business."
Hill said those who come to the lawn care workshop are welcome to bring any weed or flower from their yard that they may have concerns with. He said the speakers will do their best to answer everyone's lawn care questions.
The Vegetable Garden workshop will be at 6 p.m. on April 8th at the LSU Ag Auditorium. The Lawn Care workshop will be at 6 p.m. on April 11th at the same location. Admission is free and open to the public. For additional information, call Odis Hill at 281.5741 or 237.3517.

Ever since the announcement that Disney purchased Lucasfilm in October, one thing on the minds of fans of both companies has been, when will Disney expand the Star Wars presence in their parks? Now we may have our answer.
According to Theme Park Insider multiple inside sources are indicating that Disney is moving ahead with plans to add a "Star Wars Land" to their Hollywood Studios park in Walt Disney World Florida. The location comes as no surprise because Hollywood Studios already has the ride Star Tours, the shop Tatooine Traders, and a not so life size AT-AT Walker, which already make up a mini Star Wars section of the park. Chances are they will use this existing footprint and expand out, taking out some older attractions.

How do the two modelling frameworks compare? I spent some time developing PD LGD and EAD models for banking portfolios... But I never did insurance modelling project which I suspect is based on Solvency II?
There is a brief discussion of the two modelling frameworks in An Introduction to Economic Capital by Mohan Bhatia in the "Insurance Risk" chapter. To pull a quote from the "Solvency II versus Basel II" section of that chapter:
In the same section it also states that unlike Basel II, "the correlation between risk components is explicitly recognized by Solvency II." On p. 106 another comparison is made, saying that "Solvency II has adopted the Basel II operational risk management framework."
Some sets of presentation slides comparing the two frameworks can be found here:
Finally, an overview of the Solvency II framework can be found in the Deutsche Bank Research publication Solvency II and Basel III: Reciprocal effects should not be ignored. However, the main topic of this publication is how implementation of Solvency II and Basel III will affect insurance company investment behavior and capital allocation, along with affecting banks' funding.

I'm planning to build a desk for my workstation and I wanted to have a glossy finish something like this.
I'll be using a 3/4" thick plyboard and plan to cover it with patching compound to have a smooth surface. I'm not really good at DIY and I'm saving some money... but will try my best to get a good result :)
Question 1: Is my approach stupid?
Question 2: What paint would you recommend? Can I use spray paint on this?
Question 3: Any alternative suggestion?

I sometimes come across good advice like 11 Essential Habits for Success or How To Listen Effectively, and I can't use it immediately but I like it enough to want to keep it around.
However, if I just file it into my archive (A-Z folders) I can be pretty sure to never see it again because I won't remember to look it up when I need it.
What are effective ways to store information like this and being exposed to it so that eventually it becomes part of how I function?

It was in April 2013 that University of Arizona student Laura Hopkins was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the body's defense system to attack itself. In rheumatoid arthritis, which disproportionately affects women, tissues around joints become inflamed, resulting in swelling, pain, joint destruction and disability. No known cure exists.

I think I might be missing something but it seems like Quicktime is happy playing my .avi movies but iTunes isn't. So I have to go through the rigmarole of converting .avi to .mp4 with iTunes before viewing in iTunes or on my iPod Touch. This of course means I end up with two versions of the same file (three if I need to view on iPod). Is there some solution to the issue? I'm going to have to buy yet another portable hard drive before the month is out ...

z264 will examine everything, but will only touch avi, flv, mpg, mpeg, wmv, vob, mkv and mp4 video files, copying video and audio streams and rewrapping if possible, transcoding just the audio if necessary, and transcoding only what video is necessary, and leave you with iTunes friendly, atom optimized mp4 files, leaving the originals in your Trash. It makes reasonably intelligent decisions for you about how to transcode files based on how you set its HandBrake variables (set at lines 312-333).
minor issues: does not yet count how many background processes it spawns, meaning if there are a lot of transcodes, it will take awhile for them to complete, but they will complete. You also need a lot of memory (8GB is ok). Snow Leopard users will need to install purge command from xcode developer tools.

Recipe for a Grounded Holiday
The holiday season is upon us, with many of our thoughts turning to food. The popular adage "you are what you eat" is literally true, according to new research that claims a person's diet has a profound influence on their brain function and overall health.
Just as our eating style reflects and affects who we are, I believe how and where we live reflect 'us' even more. Our homes are intimate expressions of ourselves. Similar to the correlation between poor diet and disease, living in a toxic environment — in any sense, physical or emotional — also impacts our health in a negative way. Luckily, the opposite is also true. By creating an environment that supports our well-being, health and happiness, our bodies and minds will respond in positive ways.
The holiday season inundates us with recipes galore (as well as stress and temptations to overindulge). To balance that, choose an ingredient (or two, or three!) from my "healthy-self' holiday recipe below, and treat yourself to a generous helping of grounding — whatever that means to you.

Think of it as a collection of reference materials, comments and ideas which I'd like to keep. If possible, then I'd like to see this section along with the normal blog editor (so I can edit both at the same time).
Note that I'd like to create a multilingual blog, but it would be alright if this additional information would show up only in the main language (English) instead of being translated. But it should show up in all language versions.
