After more than 25 years of research, a vaccine to prevent AIDS remains elusive. A new vaccine being developed at Mymetics is drawing attention because of its unique approach. The vaccine provides both first-line mucosal and second-line cellular immunity, according to the company. It is designed to block early transmission of the virus at mucosal surfaces, preventing it from spreading throughout the body.
Called MYMV101, the vaccine combines a peptide that stimulates mucosal immunity with a modified gp41 antigen for additional cellular immunity. The antigens are delivered via virosomes, which are lipid membranes modeled after envelope viruses. These lipid-based carriers contain functional fusion viral proteins and rationally designed antigens. Virosomes fuse with target cells, but they do not replicate. The virosome platform was created at Berna Biotech and improved by Virosome Biologics, which Mymetics acquired in 2009.
The route of administration of MYMV101 is unusual, too. The vaccine is first injected intramuscularly then followed by an intranasal booster dose. This approach induces IgA antibodies at mucosal surfaces to block viral entry, as well as IgG antibodies circulating in the blood. "Our vaccine represents a first line of defense before the virus can settle in the tissues and spread within the body. Targeting a virus before it enters the body is probably more efficacious than after it invades the body and infects it," says Jacques-Francois Martin, CEO.
Mymetics researchers were inspired by observations that some men and women in Africa remain HIV-negative, despite being regularly exposed to HIV during unprotected sex. Morgane Bomsel, Ph.D., at INSERM in Paris, a key collaborator with Mymetics, discovered the reason for this natural resistance—the vaginal and rectal secretions of resistant individuals contain specific IgA antibodies. Dr. Bomsel showed that HIV enters human mucosal tissue by a transcytosis mechanism, and that IgA antibodies against a specific part of the gp41 protein could block this entry.
Most pathogens enter their hosts through mucosal surfaces, such as the respiratory, genito-urinary, or gastrointestinal tracts. They migrate in the bloodstream to organs where they replicate. Classic vaccines trigger mostly IgG antibodies in blood, but not IgA antibodies at the point of entry. Based on Dr. Bomsel's results, researchers at Mymetics designed a vaccine formulation that induces IgA antibodies at the mucosal level. Most other HIV immunization projects have targeted IgG antibodies, or specific cytotoxic cells against HIV in the blood.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Haygrove Tunnels USA
Haygrove was founded in 1988 by Angus Davison, and began as a strawberry growing degree project on 1 hectare of rented land in Herefordshire, UK. This original farming business has steadily expanded in geography and techniques to become an all-year-round berry, and long season cherry and organic grower, supplying the best retailers in the UK, Europe, and South Africa. In 1994 they started protecting crops from challenging UK weather.
Red Raspberry Production
Raspberry production is well suited to small farms, as a small area of raspberries can provide significant income and equipment needs for an acre or so of raspberries are not great.

Couple's musical life set in concrete
Relevant offers
When talking to Tony and Carol Thiel about their life together one is struck by how much they have been affected by music, art and concrete.
Music and art are a fairly regular combination, but during his working life one of Tony's great passions was working as a civil engineer, primarily with concrete.
His job saw him working on major projects around the world, including the construction of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
As many Marlburians know, another passion - probably his greatest - is music, something he shares with talented singer and artist, Coral.
Together they have performed in New Zealand, Australia, Europe and South America as amateur, professional and now teaching musicians.
The couple met in 1959 when Tony, who had moved to New Zealand from Holland three years earlier, was asked to perform at a new night club in Coral's home town of Christchurch.
That year the couple moved to Auckland where Tony was involved with the construction of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
The couple were performing regularly as a duo and decided to become full time musicians.
"In those days it was possible to make a living as a musician," Tony said.
"There wasn't TV so people would go out for entertainment - dinner and dancing were the popular things to do."
They were so in demand that they would play six nights a week, before deciding to move to Europe to continue as professional musicians, playing in Germany, Belgium and Holland.
"We would play on monthly contracts," Coral said.
"We are really a bit like gypsies; we like to move around."
Tony, however, got back into his profession as an engineer, working as a quality controller for Ready-Mix Concrete in Holland and Germany, later becoming the technological and marketing co-ordinator for Ready-Mix Europe.
It was during this time that Coral took up art, having much free time as a housewife.
"It was difficult to learn the language so I did so by total immersion in the culture and the language. In Holland it was a bit easier because English was more widely spoken but Germans didn't like English at all," Coral, who loved her time in Europe, despite the initial language barrier, said.
She learned to sing in different languages, adding songs sung in Italian, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Hebrew and Japanese.
"I can't speak all those languages but I did learn what I was singing so I didn't laugh when I was supposed to look sad in a song."
In 1985, she and Tony decided to head back to Auckland where Tony worked as a consultant and Coral started up a home- based business selling her paintings and pottery, which she ran successfully for some 10 years.
Of course they began performing on the weekends again.
"Music was not something we could stop - it is in our blood," Tony said.
A move came again in 1997 when he won the contract to develop a concrete mix that would contain 20,000 tons of highly toxic waste in New South Wales, Australia.
This took two years, with Tony starting his own consultancy firm in Sydney.
By 2002 and well into retirement age, the couple decided to sell their share of the business and move away from the bigger city.
"We had two options - between Adelaide and Blenheim.
"We had been to Blenheim on holiday and when we visited it again we just fell in love with the place," Tony said.
"We are instant solution people. Some people will never decide on something because they keep wondering if there is something better - well there is always something better but you won't get anywhere if you don't go for it."
After two years they hired the Boathouse Theatre for a series of six shows with Marlborough jazz musicians Heather Jameson, Peter Bargh and Robin Randal.
They have been influential on the Marlborough jazz scene ever since, playing regular shows featuring talented Marlborough Girls' College students.
"We just love getting to work with these young musicians, seeing them grow and then staying in touch with them after they leave school. It has been wonderful," Coral said.
Their latest show will be at the Marlborough Vinters Hotel this Saturday. It will feature three MGC students performing the music of Rodgers and Hart.
Tickets are available from Top Town Cinemas at $60 with dinner starting at 6pm and the show at 8pm.

One lane of the Eastbound 401 has been re-opened after a crash involving as many as 25 vehicles.
12 tractor trailers were reportedly caught up in the mess that happened around noon near Brighton.
Constable Peter Leon with OPP says there were whiteouts and slippery roads reported at the time of the crash.
He says injuries have been reported, but they are all minor.
Most lanes of the eastbound side of the 401 is expected to be closed for a number of hours, with the westbound side expected to be slower than normal, thanks to the visual distraction.
Leon reports there is snowsquall activity through that area continuing through the afternoon.

An amazing thing happened in TV last week.
No, I'm not writing about "The Amazing Race" again. Remember, it was pre-empted last week, and besides, I'm not that desperate for topics. Close, but not quite.
The astonishing event I'm referring to is the decision by CBS and the producers of "CSI: Miami" to boot Kim Delaney after 10 episodes.
Delaney, you may recall, is the actress the show's creators added at the last minute, believing that the lead actress they already had - "The West Wing's" Emily Procter - wasn't strong enough to hold her end of the show up against David Caruso.
But Delaney was a bad fit from the start. So - this is the amazing part - CBS and the producers acknowledged their mistake, saying that they decided to drop the actress "upon recognizing that the character of Megan Donner was becoming less integral to the series." They admitted a mistake! Who does that anymore?
But why stop there, CBS? Plenty of your other shows could use a little pruning of "less integral" characters:
Jeff Probst on "Survivor": His insistence that "Survivor" is somehow more than what it is - a TV game show - has grown extremely tiresome. I dread each season's finale more and more, because I know Probst is going to wax on and on and on about the spiritual growth of the players, the life-changing experiences they've undergone, yada yada yada. Time to extinguish his torch.
Jami Gertz on "Still Standing": For one, who honestly believes that she would be married to someone who looks like Mark Addy? For another, she's irritated me since "The Lost Boys."
Dana Delany on "Presidio Med": Why her? She's practically got the same last name as Kim Delaney, so why not?
Alfred Molina on "Bram and Alice": Sure, he's a title character, but he's too hammy for words and - what's that you say? The show's been canceled? Never mind.
And hey, why stop with CBS?
Francie (Merrin Dungey) on ABC's "Alias": She's currently the only main character who doesn't know that Sydney (her best friend) is a spy, and it's harder and harder to incorporate her into story lines. Time to ditch her.
Officer Ray (Gary Basaraba) on NBC's "Boomtown": The rotund cop is dead weight, and as entertaining as athlete's foot, besides. He whines, he's offensive, he's incompetent - and those are his good points. The weakest point on one of the season's best new shows.
Sister Brenda (Brooke Dillman) on NBC's "Good Morning, Miami": A holy terror. She's a one-joke character, and the joke (a salty-mouthed nun) was never that funny to begin with.
Everyone but Steven Harper (Chi McBride) on Fox's "Boston Public": He's the only one who hasn't become a shrill, unrealistic outline of a character, so keep him and eviscerate the rest. And while we're at it, fire the whole writing staff, too, for reducing this show to an exploitative shout-fest.
River (Summer Glau) on Fox's "Firefly": This half-crazed, prophetic freak girl babbles more than her namesake. Hopefully, creator Joss Whedon will make her matter soon. If not, tie her to rock and toss her in a creek.
That guy with the Skynyrd T-shirt, can of beer and scraggly beard on Fox's "Cops": You say he's not a series regular? Could have fooled me.
Randall High School student Brittnee Dunavin won't be the next "American Idol" after all.
She thought she had snagged an audition with the Fox show when the judges stopped in Austin last week, but it wasn't to be.
After briefly getting lost in downtown Austin, she arrived at the Doubletree Hotel in the early morning hours of Nov. 6 to find a horde of other "Idol" hopefuls. A DJ from an Austin radio station asked her to sing on air, but that was the last time she performed that day.
"I walked back over and met up with my mom. She told me that they'd started registration at noon on Tuesday and ended at 5:30 in the morning on Wednesday. It wasn't supposed to start until 8 (a.m. Wednesday)," Dunavin said this week.
Plus, she belatedly learned that at age 16, she was too young to audition.

The deadweight gain of insurance taxation when risky activities are optional
Some risky activities are optional, for example motoring. Participation in them is most attractive for good risks, creating a tendency for advantageous selection in the associated insurance market. Taxing insurance consequently yields deadweight gains when type is hidden. Results are strengthened if optimism is present. Finally, endogenising participation implies that the standard "positive correlation" test for the presence of policy relevant asymmetric information may fail.

I'm trying to get the media server TVersity to work, but when the service is supposed to start, it gets stuck on "Starting" and NEVER moves on. I've read that TVersity won't work if I've got other programs on my computer using UPnP, and µTorrent was mentioned. I've switched off UPnP on µTorrent without success though.
Later I found out that Skype also uses UPnP, so I dug into the advanced settings and disabled it for Skype, but still TVersity wouldn't start.
Much later, I discovered by random that Hamachi also used UPnP, so after some searching through the settings i found and disabled it. But of course TVersity still won't start.
Of course after all this I'm thinking I could have tons of applications on my computer that hinders TVersity from starting, so is there any tools out there that can track down the processes on my PC that uses UPnP?
Also, any other advice on why TVersity might not be starting would be great. :)
FYI: I have started a thread on their forums. In fact I started it weeks ago without any replies, despite my bump

Lost and Forsaken in a Cold, Dark World
The Killing
Begins Sunday at 8 p.m. on AMC
The gloom is gloomier, the cast of characters grimmer than ever—this is saying a lot—in season three of "The Killing." The opening scenes, focused on teen prostitutes, their pimps and assorted less identifiable discards, all habitués of darkest Seattle, tell the story. Compared to the mood here, the first two seasons of the series seem, for all their relentless bleakness, positively perky.
On these streets everything is dangerous, emotional entanglements included. The two-hour premiere provides a prime example of this truth in the case of Bullet (Bex Taylor-Klaus), a hardened young lesbian in the throes of unrequited love for the delicate Lyric ( Julia Sarah Stone)—another of the teen working girls—who is, in turn, mad for Twitch ( Max Fowler), the handsome male rotter who uses her for maintenance. He's working on a modeling career.
All things considered, it's a relief to get down to business—a mysterious murder—and to the show's star, Sarah Linden ( Mireille Enos), no longer a police detective. She's found a blissfully satisfying new life, if she's to be believed—an impossibility, thanks to Ms. Enos, who delivers a wonderfully crafty performance rich in false notes that signal she's not the happy woman she pretends to be.
She's a new Sarah in the early scenes, one far from the all-business, obsessively focused detective she once was. She's become discomfitingly gushy, a woman who talks about her joy in the simple things—a daily run, the island community in which she lives, the marina job where she works along with her devoted, youthfully innocent and boring boyfriend. A character, it's clear, soon to be dispatched from her life—as happens, quickly, with the arrival of Sarah's old partner, Holder ( Joel Kinnaman). He brings with him news of a murder case impossible for Sarah to ignore, one that requires her to be a detective again.
It's news that holds a special moral terror: namely, the possibility that a particularly brutal case of homicide she had once helped to solve might have involved a suspect falsely charged, convicted and about to be executed.
This introduces the character of Ray Seward, a role to which Peter Sarsgaard brings a chilling delicacy when he's not channeling Hannibal Lecter. What with Mr.Sarsgaard's brutally psychopathic Ray, who may or may not be innocent of the crime charged to him, and the undiluted brutality of this Seattle street world in a prominent role, the new "Killing" appears to have taken a sharp turn from the kind of emotional life that enriched the last season, with its drama of a disappeared daughter. In its portrait of family grief, beautifully nuanced to the end, the series landed a dramatic punch more potent than that of the key question, "Who killed Rosie?" Itself a mystery of considerable power, and one that the latest chapter of "The Killing" will have to go some way to equal.
Whitey Bulger: The Making of a Monster
Monday at 10 p.m. on Investigation Discovery
The name Whitey Bulger may not have been familiar to most Americans, but it was one well known in Boston. It would become nationally famous when the man, on the FBI's Most Wanted List for 16 years, was finally caught in his beachfront hideaway in Santa Monica, Calif., in June 2011. It would come as no small surprise to local citizens that the quiet man they knew, who liked to feed the neighbors' cats, had for more than 10 years been the most feared crime boss in Boston—and had, in addition, enjoyed unparalleled official protection along the way.
The last came by way of the FBI, for whom he served as a prime informant for years, under the control of an agent who would himself be charged, in due course, with racketeering and obstruction of justice. The ID documentary, based on a book by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neil, focuses heavily, and in colorful detail, on the Bulger-FBI connection. The agency, in the film's view, so valued his services as an informer that it considered him more important than the crimes he committed—among them, some 19 murders.
This much-feared underworld chief also had, as it happens, a younger brother, William Bulger, who was one of the top political powers in the state. He was president of the Massachusetts Senate and, after retirement, president of the University of Massachusetts—a man also, it would seem, notably incurious about his older brother Whitey's life and career. The film's narrator notes the relationship between Whitey and William Bulger repeatedly, in heavily insinuating tones—a trademark of ID documentaries. There, the not terribly enterprising producers leave this remarkable aspect of the Bulger story.
The film is nonetheless fact-packed, full of intriguing ironies large and small delivered between recitals of crimes—recounted in grisly detail—charged to Whitey Bulger. He was, for example, for the longest time widely seen as a Robin Hood, a criminal of the people, for the people who even tried to make sure that drugs were kept out of Boston. This was, the film makes emphatically clear, the grimmest of delusions—Whitey Bulger was among the leading lights of the crime moguls bringing drugs into the city's neighborhoods.
Begins Thursday at 10 p.m. on USA
The FBI doesn't look much better in "Graceland"—largely a work of fiction, fortunately, despite its claim to be based on history. Graceland, we are informed, was the name of a beachfront residence in Manhattan Beach, Calif., that was seized by the government in 1992 and, for a time, operated as an undercover base for the FBI, the DEA and Customs.
The value of the aforementioned facts can't be underestimated, considering that they stand as the lone credible aspect of this sun-drenched venture into the absurd, in which government agents loll around the beach, exchanging the kind of banter for which television writers would, in a just world, be sent to some quiet place to reflect on their idiocy. All this, amid the plotting of incoherent designs to trap drug dealers, and plenty of sand and dazzling blue skies—elements that have on occasion succeeded in mitigating the flaws of some deadly TV series. This deadly series isn't one of them.

By courtesy of the Editor of the British Medical Journal we have received the advance proofs of the president's address and the introductory remarks made at the opening of the various sections at the seventieth annual meeting of the British Medical Association, held in Manchester, July 29 to 31 and August 1. The address of the president, Mr. Walter Whitehead, is a complete and elaborate contribution on the early influence of Manchester on the advancement of medicine and medical education. He detailed the progress in medicine in Manchester since the British Medical Association held its annual meeting there twenty-five years before, and gave important facts concerning the medical institutions of that city. The president of the section of tropical diseases laid especial stress in his introductory remarks on malaria, saying that no excuse is necessary for dwelling on the importance of the subject or its prophylaxis. He gave a résumé

Since the 3.6 update, all my Nextgen Galleries are broken (the site is http://www.petersommer.com/blog/).
Initially, galleries would still show, but fail to load when clicked on.
On noting this initially, I first tried updating the Nggallery plugin to the recently released new version. After I did that, the galleries did not even show up any more. Instead, each blog post containing a gallery showed the line "no images were found" where the gallery used to be.
I have now downgraded the plugin to the previous version, but still see the "no images were found" line instead of the galleries.
For a blog that uses imagery as a key focus, this is a disaster. Is there any suggestion as to how I can rectify this?

Van Persie wins Premier League Golden Boot
Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has picked up the Golden Boot for the second year in a row after finishing as the top goal scorer in the Premier League with 26 goals in the 2012-13 season.
The Netherlands international finished above Liverpool's Luis Suarez (23 goals) and Tottenham's Gareth Bale (21 goals), in his debut season at Old Trafford to help Sir Alex Ferguson's side become Barclays Premier League champions for the 13th time.
Since scoring with his first shot as a United player in the 3-2 home win against Fulham, Van Persie has scored a number of memorable goals including the stunning volley against Aston Villa that helped the club clinch their 20th league title.
The left-footed volley, following a fantastic 40-yard pass from team-mate Wayne Rooney, was not only a part of his second hat-trick of the season, but also won Manchester United's Goal of the Season.
He received the Golden Boot trophy after United's thrilling 5-5 draw against West Brom at the Hawthorns and will be given £30,000 by Premier League sponsors Barclays to donate to a charity of his choice.
The Barclays Premier League is the biggest continuous annual global sporting event in the world. Last season more than 13.4m fans attended matches with average stadium occupancy in excess of 92% for the fifth season in a row. Across nine months of the year 380 matches are viewed in 212 territories worldwide. Coverage of the matches is available in approximately 650m households worldwide.

Commandos vs. Spartans
View Single Post
Join Date

I left a lot of questions out about how MJOLNIR armor works because I'm not familiar with that much of the Halo universe, however I am wagering that the suit has several electrically-based systems that an EC grenade would have an adverse effect on, and thus would have a negative impact on the Spartan's movement and function. Could Cortana take an EC hit? I don't know, but chances are she would be effected in some way (Maybe she'd be erased, maybe she'd just turn off for a while, maybe she'd start talking in Latin and dancing...chances are she would not be helpful during an encounter). I don't think even a supercomputer like Cortana would be able translate Mandalorian that fast; this encounter would be over in, what, minutes? I don't think she could crack their communication system, translate their system, and relay it back to the Spartan before the encounter was decided one way or another. Even humans require a healthy exposure to the language (Also remember not only are they talking in different languages, they're on different technology levels...Chief probably wouldn't understand what a DC-17m is, or what Pod Maneuver D-35B is) to translate it.
Do Spartan suits have a "surge protector"? Who knows. The Covenant doesn't seem to use a lot of EC-ish weapons, so it wouldn't necessarily be top priority. The Commandos don't have something like it, and the Star Wars universe is by far more technologically advanced than Halo's, thus chances are the Spartans aren't armed with one. Even if they did, the shield would still be drained out, which means a Spartan is going to die very quickly. Try playing Halo or Halo 2 with your energy shield down and have a grenade go off on Chief; see how he handles that. A lot of their durability comes from that shield, and when it's gone, a Spartan is a whole lot less resilient.
As for their specialties, the clones are genetically engineered to be masters at every craft of war. Humans are not designed, at our foundation, to be war machines. We each have varying interests and skills that are spread out in various fields; a soldier good at one thing is not necessarily great at another. Just because you're awesome with a sniper rifle doesn't mean you know whether to cut the red wire or the green wire.
In 15 years, the Spartan probably still does not have the knowledge that a Commando is born with. It's spliced into his genes. Also, as I said before, a Spartan is probably exposed and trained most to fight Covenant, and maybe humans. Commandos are trained to fight humans, droids, trandoshans, Wookies, and any other of a baker's dozen of races in the Star Wars universe. That means they have a lot more tactical knowledge and a lot more tricks in their sleeve than the Spartan does. Regardless of how one performs alone in their respective games, that's not what this discussion is looking at. The question isn't can a Spartan kill Covenant faster than a Commando can kill Geonosians. We're comparing one against the other, which doesn't have much to do with how fast they kill in their own games.
On a standard mission (Where I compared the Spartan and Commando), odds are he wouldn't be equipped with a sniper rifle. Generally when you have a sniper rifle in Halo, it's because you picked one off the ground, not that you started the mission with one in your inventory. An assault rifle/shotgun is more tactically sound than a sniper rifle/assault rifle. That makes you effective at everything except very long range, but even if a Spartan DID come with a sniper rifle, he's still outgunned by the Commando. The Katarn armor and energy shield could take a hit from a Halo sniper rifle; the same can't really be said for a Spartan without an energy shield taking a hit from the DC-17m's sniper attachment. Plus, the Spartan has surrendered the one thing that really made him more dangerous in close combat (Where he would have an advantage on the Commando) to focus on ranged combat where the Commando has him outgeared.
To me, no matter how you cut it, without the Spartan getting into close combat he has no chance to beat the Commando. In close combat he'll undoubtedly win most of the time, but most of the time he'll never get there. My bet stays with a Commando, who can negate every advantage a Spartan has at ranged combat, while still maintaining technical and tactical superiority.

The Art of Sex
By: Ayesha NuRa
What is sex for you? When you think
of sex…do you think of a particular
experience? Do you think of the person
who was able to physically please you the
most? Does your worst experience come
to mind? Maybe you are recalling that
one night stand in the parking lot or even
the make-up sex that you had with your
partner last week. Regardless of what
comes to mind…let me let you in on a little something.
Sex is an art...

An estimated 20 percent of Native Americans are Catholic. In recent decades, the Catholic Church has made significant efforts to incorporate Indian traditions into Catholic liturgies, and the Diocese of Helena has made a strong commitment to ministries with Native Americans.
Celebrated this year for the 65th time, Indian Days is a four-day powwow that draws about 10,000 participants. Hosted by the Blackfeet Nation, Native Americans from every region of the country and Canada attended. They came together -- many dressed in spectacularly elegant and intricately decorated native attire -- to dance, play games and socialize in the arbor, a stadium-like arena.

Outreach Department Gets New "Walking Books" BagsFriday, March 7th, 2014
Thanks to our generous donors, The Library Foundation was able to make a grant to the Library's Outreach Department to purchase new delivery bags for the Walking Books program. This outreach program delivers library materials to patrons who cannot easily travel to the Library due to physical limitations. Staff and volunteers deliver new materials on a monthly basis to patrons, based on their interests, and return items checked out from the previous month.
According to Allison Eckhardt, Outreach Department Manager, the Library was in desperate need of additional delivery bags, as some patrons have been receiving their materials in plastic grocery bags. The Walking Books delivery bags are a heavily-reinforced synthetic fabric with sturdy handles and a zippered closure, bearing the Library's screen-printed logo and "Walking Books" on one side.
The Library Foundation frequently accepts gifts from donors who have a specific Library program or service they wish to support. Click here to make a donation today.
To find out more about the Library's Walking Books program, or to volunteer to help, call Walking Books at 883-6112 Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.
Bruce Cameron: Dogs, Dads and Teenage DaughtersMonday, February 24th, 2014
Thanks to donors like you and the Library Foundation's Cultural Arts Endowment Fund, the Library is able to bring author W. Bruce Cameron to Springfield during the Big Read at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 10. Cameron will blend his wit and love for dogs for the Big Read presentation: "Come. Sit. Stay, An Evening with Bruce Cameron."
Cameron hams it up in his "Unauthorized biography" on his own official website, but here's the straight (we think) story about him (but you really should read his funnier version on his website): He always wanted to be a writer and sold his first short story at age 16 to the Kansas City Star for $50. He attended Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., was editor of the literary magazine and student newspaper. After college he became a freelance writer while doing a host of other jobs to make real money.
In 1995 he started an online Internet column with six subscribers. At its peak, he says, the Cameron Column had 40,000 subscribers. As he tells it, "I showed my columns to the Rocky Mountain News and in 1998 they began featuring me weekly in their Home Front section. Before long I was considered one of their most popular columnists… A column I'd written, '8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter,' was crazy popular, so I turned it into a full book on the subject."
His writing career took off after that, with national TV, magazine and radio exposure. Cameron explains, "Oliver North (bet you didn't see this coming!) took an interest in '8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter' because he has a teenage daughter. He had me on his radio show and introduced me to Creator's Syndicate, which picked me up in October 2001."

Dear Library Friends,Wednesday, December 14th, 2011
The Library plays so many unique roles in our daily lives. Depending on your interests, it can be your classroom, your office, a music stage or community hearth where you can gather with friends or simply escape with a good book.
The trust and sense of belonging that people feel about the Library helped drive the 1.9 million visits last year to the 10 branches across Greene County communities. The depth of our online resources – from job listings to e-book downloads to research databases – drove another 3.1 million visits to the website, thelibrary.org. And in its first year, the mobile website had 25,219 website views from mobile devices.
The Library met other community needs in varied ways last year through the help of our donors:
- The Mobile Library has traveled 4,250 miles – 26 stops per week – since it began running in June. The bookmobile enables us to put books, music and movies into the hands of more than 18,000 people.
- More than 3,200 people attended computer skills and professional development classes at the Edge Community Technology Center. In a sign of the times, unemployed adults outnumbered retirees in the classes.
- The Library launched its signature early-literacy program, Racing to Read. Children's storytimes, early learning centers and parent workshops are geared to help build children's skills so they're ready to read and succeed in school.
Librarians are passionate about providing the kinds of instruction and up-to-date materials you expect from your Springfield-Greene County Libraries. They are committed to staying in step with technology, providing the computers, software and classes to help you master new skills – or download free e-books.
Grants and gifts from people who love the Library – like you – help us enhance the rich diversity of resources and programs you've come to expect.
As the calendar year draws to a close, we encourage you to make a gift to the Library Foundation Annual Fund. With your help, we can continue providing the kinds of welcoming spaces and important services that can transform lives.
Juli Moseley, President
Springfield-Greene County Library Foundation

Kids, Parents Invited to Rollout of Early Learning Stations and Toys May 5Monday, May 2nd, 2011
Children and families are invited to have some fun at each of the branch libraries all day Thursday, May 5, when the library rolls out the new Racing to Read project. There will also be drawings for free books for families that attend.
Racing to Read is a library program that encourages play and talk between parents and children to teach little ones the skills they need to be prepared for kindergarten. Early learning stations are at the Library Center, Library Station, and the Republic, Brentwood and Midtown Carnegie branches. The other branches will include many of the same toys and activities
The activities encourage imagination, conversation and exploration – all essential for children to be open to learning.
"Reading, talking and playing are fun, easy and valuable ways parents can help their young children learn," said district youth services coordinator Nancee Dahms-Stinson.
"Playing is the foundation for learning for children, and when it's paired with parental interaction, its value is immeasurable," Nancee said.
The youth services staff is developing Racing to Read through generous grants from the Rotary Club of Springfield, Rotary Club District 6080, the Library Foundation and the Missouri Parent Information Resource Center Southwest.
The library will continue building on Racing to Read with parenting workshops and more activities in the future.
"Each time you visit the Library, you and your child will find something new and delightful to discover and explore," Nancee added. "The learning part is up to you and your child; the library is your resource."
Welcome to yourlibraryfoundation.orgThursday, January 13th, 2011
The Library Foundation is pleased to launch this new website.
YourLibraryFoundation.org is the place for you to learn about ways to share your passion for literacy, education, opportunity and the quality of life our library provides. We developed the site with two goals in mind:
1. To make it easy for you to give in support of your favorite Library service or program.
2. To provide you with meaningful information about how your gifts are making a difference to the Library and the many people they serve.
This site is just the beginning. We will continue to make improvements toward effectively meeting these two goals and invite you to help us ensure that the site is a useful and relevant communication tool. Please take a look around and send your comments and suggestions to email@example.com.
Thank You for Making the Annual Campaign a SuccessMonday, January 10th, 2011
The Library Foundation wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to the many donors who supported this year's annual campaign. Together you raised more than $6,000 to support the Library's mission of encouraging life-long learning, self-improvement and self expression. Thank you for being passionate about the Library.
Give the Gift of Books to Your LibraryTuesday, November 23rd, 2010
People who love books and giving books as gifts can spread cheer further this year by giving a children's book to the Springfield-Greene County Library District with a donation to the library's Holiday Book Trees and Wreaths.
From November 27-December 23, each branch of the Springfield-Greene County Library District will display a tree or wreath decorated with ornaments depicting books that are on the library district's wish list.
When a person donates the $5, $10, $15 or $20 for a specific title, that book will be added to the district's circulating collection for any child to check out and enjoy. The donor's name will then be added to the ornament and placed back on the tree or wreath to inspire others.
For details, call Library Foundation Director Regina Greer Cooper at 417.883.5366.

BTDT, I'm pretty sure us FTM's can use some tips on how to survive the first night/day home!!
whatcha got for us(:
(I'm more nervous about bringing him home than L&D!!)
Eric and Heather October 2006
Molly November 2010
Owen January 2013
Bringing them home is easy, all they do is eat, sleep, and poop. The hard part is getting used to no sleep and waking all night to tend to baby. Take it easy, let your house go to hell if you want. Accept meals and help. You don't have to be super mom.
SAHM to Ethan April 07' (Doose Syndrome, ASD), Taylor Jan 10' & Lillian Feb 13'

If you hadn't already planned on it - breastfeed if you can. It makes it soooo much easier to come home. All you have to worry about it diapers the first week. (You usually don't bathe until the belly button scab comes off) No worrying about temperature, ratios, etc....just throw baby on the boob, which you can do when almost entirely unconscious.
I'd second having meals ready for the microwave and/or take-out menus handy. Also, I kept some higher calorie beverages than I normally drink around (like chocolate milk, some odwalla smoothies - I don't usually drink much in the way of caloric beverages) - make sure they have some nutritional value. Also, keep a few not-too-bad for you snacks by where you nurse/feed the baby. You may find you've gotten off your normal schedule and forgotten to eat.
""👈 this shit isnt the punctuation worlds version of jazz hands goddamnit
it willbe kind of surreal. Have water available and fast grab snacks. Relax and just enjoy. Many babies are "easier" and sleep more the first week or two home. 6 weeks is when crying is supposed to peak. Take it easy but do walk around a bit to prmote healing in you. try to sleep. :) I always had "baby blues" and sobbed and sobbed those first couple days home...even if not at all sad or anxious! Just hormones and totally normal
they also told me at hospital that the second to third day after birth (or right before milk comes in) the baby may have a feeding frenzy to get the milk to come in and it may make you feel like you can't BF or that you don't have enough milk...especially if you have one that screams like I did. My other two were a breeze through this stage BTW. If I hadn't been at hospital still I didn't know this and would have thought I was failing!
Plan to sit on the sofa and just be with your baby for the first 2 weeks. Everything else can wait.
I love this poem, I expect you've heard it, but I heard it for the first time when DD was a few weeks old and it made me stop trying to do everything and just enjoy my baby.
Matilda ~ Arrived October 2010
Noah ~ Arrived Feb 2013
^^ that made me cry. so true iow_bird
Atreyu Morgan : 11/1/10, 6lbs 11oz, 19 in!
Justice Rose: 2/1/13. 8lbs 2oz, 19 in!
yup, makes me well up a bit everytime I read it. It just reminds me of the moment I realised I couldn't do everything, and by trying to I was selling myself and DD short. Those first few days and weeks are so precious, and seem even more so now DD is a toddler!!

Photo of the Day
A. T.: The DNC was what one might expect from the party that has made it clear through policy and forced legislation that they have given up on objective reality as a talking point. No wonder it recalled "Through the Looking Glass" by Louis Carroll. In the face of the vitriol and violence of the rebel without a real cause--BLM and the impending onslaught of a 550% increase in the amount of unvetted Islamic refugees into this country (if Hillary becomes president), the beheading of a Catholic priest in France, about which not a word was spoken, nor a moment of silence observed, with the certain knowledge that Hillary helped to both create and facilitate the ISIS menace...the Democrats choice instead to have speakers praise child murder (their own), BLM's bellowed of half-truths and outright lies (if one gives more than a cursory look at statistics)--in short a celebration of social concerns which, in light of our dire world situation, seemed frivolous and fanciful, indeed. Both Trump and Hillary are scary choices for president. However, Hillary has already shown us, over a period of forty years, just how scary she will be if elected president.

Released: Jul 01st, 2005
Running Time: 88
Director: Jenna Haze
Company: Jill Kelly Productions
Cast: Haley Scott, Lacey Tom, Hillary Scott, Dominica Leoni, Jenna Haze, Mario Rossi, Anthony Hardwood, Lee Stone, Tommy Gunn, Van Damage, Chloe Dior
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
A good assortment of scenes: couples, girl/girl, and threesomes. Couple friendly fare.
If a twosome between Dominica Leoni is the appetizer, then a threeway with Lee Stone sandwiched between Chloe Dior and Lacey Tom is the main course in this gonzo sexual smorgasbord. Stone shows off his muscles in one part when he eats Dior while holding her, suspended by sheer muscle power, up in the air with her snatch level with his mouth. Otherwise, the remainder of the sex is pretty much conventional. It ends with a girl/girl shared by Jenna Haze and Lacey Tom that emphasizes oral, fingers, and toy play.
Don't miss Haze in the behind the scenes as she plays director - this gal has a blast doing it. Fun.

SALEM, Mass. (AP) - A charity that financed trips for Jewish youth to Israel but fell victim to Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme is reaching out to alumni to help save this year's planned trip.
The Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation announced Tuesday it was sending out "letters of appeal" to alumni of the trips and their parents in an effort to raise $576,000 by Jan. 23. The group is also launching an aggressive phone campaign.
The foundation had planned to send about 100 teens to its "Youth to Israel Adventure" in July 2009 but lost its reported $8 million to Madoff.
The group had financed the trips for more than three decades.
Madoff was arrested this month in what prosecutors say was a $50
billion scheme to defraud investors.
