Wonder by R.J. Palacio (NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2012).
Ten-year-old August Pullman is nervous about starting fifth grade after being homeschooled all his life. He knows he looks different from other kids, even frightening, because of congenital facial deformities, but deep down he feels like an ordinary kid, and he wants to be treated like one. He visits Beecher Prep before school starts and the middle school director, Mr. Tushman, has arranged for several students to show Auggie around and then help him over the first few days. While the arranged friendships don't work out as planned, another student befriends him, and eventually a few more, until at last nearly everyone learns to see past the deformity and value Auggie for who he is--a super, nice, funny kid.
First off, hats off to Palacio for her incredible handling of such a sensitive topic. Most places wouldn't consider fifth grade middle school the way this book does, but it is the perfect grade for a book on this topic because kids are a lot more forgiving at ten than at thirteen, when being like everyone else and fitting in become much, much more crucial. Not that all of the characters are able to see past Auggie's appearance. One boy in particular bullies Auggie and instigates some aggression. Auggie is a wonderful character, funny and heart breaking by turns, and I loved reading his perspective. His sense of humor makes him engaging for readers and lends credibility to his developing friendships. What made the book brilliant, though, is the varying perspectives of so many characters, some of whom seem peripheral, but whose viewpoints show how actions beget more actions. This includes how Auggie's parents' actions have impacted their family life and how his older sister has adapted. Further, all the characters are brutally honest about their initial reactions to Auggie's appearance and then how their feelings change as they get to know him. None of the adults serve as narrators, so the novel is truly kidcentric, even as adults obviously guide some of the events.
This book is virtually guaranteed to win many awards and land on many best and recommended lists. It would make a great readaloud, especially at school where issues like bullying and judging people by their appearance could be usefully discussed. Overall, it's a wonderful read for ages nine and up.

About the Book
This is the book that started it all! The basis for the smash hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Gregory Maguire's breathtaking New York Times bestseller Wicked views the land of Oz, its inhabitants, its Wizard, and the Emerald City, through a darker and greener (not rosier) lens. Brilliantly inventive, Wicked offers us a radical new evaluation of one of the most feared and hated characters in all of literature: the much maligned Wicked Witch of the West who, as Maguire tells us, wasn't nearly as Wicked as we imagined.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

text: This Ministry in collaboration with Gambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), Gambia Investment and Export Promotion Agency (GIEPA) and partners is organizing a third National Economic Summit 2011. The Gambia Economic Summit 2011 will strengthen, institutionalize and promote participative processes for state and non-state consultation. The concept of the summit amongst others is to strengthen Public-Private-Partnership by providing a platform where both parties will interact and hold discussions on development issues as well as forge the way forward through recommendations derived from the summit. The summit is also expected to serve as a platform to encourage dialogue among public, private sector and civil society for better understanding of each others' respective roles in the development process in a transparent manner which would result to a genuine partnership built to harness opportunities for economic development. The 2011 summit will revive the economic summit that was previously initiated and the objective here is to make it an annual event. The outcome of this summit will therefore be presented to The Gambia government for implementation. A high level committee will be created to work with the government on the implementation of the recommendations of the 2011 summit. The theme for this year's Summit is "Developing the Productive Sectors to Accelerate Growth and Employment in the Gambia". The rationale behind this theme is to enhance economic growth and generate employment for poverty reduction by partnering with the private sector, civil society and development partners. Below is the scheduled programme for clear coordination of the event; Please click this link to read or download the Scheduled Programme. |

Gynecomastia Surgery - I am scared of re occurrence and going for surgery again if it didn't work out in the first place.
Doctor Answers 8
With regards to your hear murmur, you should get checked by you primary physician and possibly a heart specialist before proceeding with any surgery. Gynecomastia with little or no gladular tissue can possibly be treated well with Vaser liposuction alone. If it doesn't work well you may need a glandular excision at your original surgery or at a later date. Often, getting more than one consultation will help clarify this issue for you.
Web reference: http://www.kplasticsurgery.com
Gynecomastia always have a fatty element and gland element. Liposuction only gives improvement of fat removal. Gland needs to be excised surgically to have full improvement.
Web reference: http://www.drrai.net
You might also like...
Liposuction alone reduces chest wall fat in gynecomastia surgery but it does not correct the problem with breast fullness due excess breast tissue. By removing breast tissue through a small incision under the nipple, the final result would allow for a more masculine flattening of the breast tissue. Performing both fat removal with liposuction and breast tissue removal with direct excision, you would then have an overall improved contour and less of a chance of secondary surgery.
You might be the one case in a hundred that is the exception. But at least get a couple more consultations. Otherwise I predict you will be needing a revision. Cardiac murmur is seldom a problem, but see your family doctor about that.
Without an in person examination very hard to know the amount if any of gland you have. I recommend a small circumareolar incision the excise the glandular aspect and than the VASER lipo of in my hands the Smart Lipo TRIPLEX unit. Re occurrence happen and you are aware of this. Also a medical clearance from your cardiologist is a good idea.
I have operated on many patients with heart murmurs,but as I am sure you know there are many causes for a heart murmur. The safety is related to the cause and severity of the murmur and the associated medical history.Vaser is a type of UAL. As far as residual tissue it depends on the preoperative anatomy.

CELINA, OH – Wright State University – Lake Campus held its 42nd Annual Commencement ceremony on Friday evening, May 2, 2014. Degrees conferred upon the 154 members of the Class of 2014 included 62 associate degrees, 79 bachelor's degrees, and 13 master's degrees. Dr. David R. Hopkins, President of Wright State University, provided the commencement address.
Nearly 60 of the graduating students participated in the ceremony, where graduates Katherine A. Gengler, Coldwater and John A. Will, Celina, were the evening's speakers. Katherine earned an Associate of Applied Business in Graphic Design and Visual Media with highest honors. John earned a Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering, graduating Summa Cum Laude from the inaugural class of this new Lake Campus program.
"I know that after today things might seem harder, but remember you are just getting started," Katherine said, "The knowledge that we have learned from the Lake Campus is our base for our future, what we have learned will help us to be greater, to achieve more."
In his speech John reminded the graduates that homework and exams may end after graduation but you will only move onto different kinds of tests in life. "Although we may not have a paper test with true and false, multiple choice, computations or essay questions, we will still have tests to take and prepare for...Success is obtained when you pick yourself back up and keep preparing for the next test. No one is a failure until they give up. "
Dr. Bonnie Mathies, Lake Campus Dean, presided over the ceremony. Dylan Correll, representing the Lake Campus Alumni Network, also provided remarks for graduates and guests. Dr. Dane Daniel, Associate Professor of History, and Lake Campus alumnus Samuel Gudorf provided music for the evening, and the Mercer County Firefighters Honor Guard presented the colors for the event.

Our annual Industry Showcase, produced in conjunction with Broadway Workshop in NYC, gives young people ages 5-18 the opportunity to perform live on stage for agents, casting directors, managers and, of course, family and friends. The Showcase takes place at an exciting NYC venue just steps from the bright lights of Broadway.
There is no cost to participate in this event. It is open to all performers, regardless of whether you have participated with Random Farms or Broadway Workshop in the past.
November 2017 dates in Elmsford and NYC to be announced in October 2017. Please check back!
Elmsford auditions will be held at:
The Random Farms Performing Arts Center
77 Executive Blvd, Elmsford, NY 10523
NYC auditions will be held at:
Ripley Grier Studios
520 Eighth Avenue (Between 36th & 37th Street), 16th Floor
The performance will be held at a NYC venue in early December.
More details will be announced fall 2017.
This event is intended for performers without professional representation. If you already have an agent or manager, please do not audition for Industry Showcase Night. If you participated in last year's showcase, you are not eligible to audition again until next year. You must attend a live audition to be considered for the showcase. We do not accept video submissions for this event.
Prepare one minute of material - a song (bring sheet music; an accompanist will be provided), a monologue or a combination of both. Or just tell a joke! You could even make up a commercial or tell a story. Not sure what to prepare? Just show up and we'll have mini commercials for you to read when you get there! Industry professionals are looking for "raw" talent. What you perform is less important than showing your personality. There is no cost to audition or participate in this event.
Special note: Please keep material age-appropriate, without the use of any profanity. If you are doing a monologue, please keep it comedic and contemporary. Avoid dramatic/tragic monologues and any kind of accent (we want to hear how you sound when you're just being yourself!). While you may incorporate movement or choreography into your material, please don't perform a dance if it doesn't involve you speaking or singing at some point.
Want more advice on what to expect? Check out our audition tips.
It is not necessary to prepare a resume, but here are some samples if you want to give it a try!
Sample Resume 1
Sample Resume 2
It is not necessary to bring a professional headshot but, for those of you looking to have them done, check out our upcoming Headshot Day.
A recent picture (a school photo or snapshot is fine). If you have a resume, bring that, too (if not, that is fine - you can list any experience on the form when you sign up). Please wear regular school clothes. Costumes and dress clothes should be avoided.

'Quite beautiful … a valuable contribution to the subject' – The Art Newspaper
'A lucid, eloquent and interesting survey … a book that both teaches and delights, inviting us to consider seriously imagery that has conventionally been overlooked as 'mere' decoration' – The Art Book
Detail of a candelabrum panel by Luca Signorelli at Orvieto Cathedral
The discovery of Nero's Domus Aurea in Rome at the end of the 15th century revealed an unfamiliar, playful style of classical ornament that captured the imagination of Renaissance artists.
For the first explorers it was like entering a series of caves or 'grottoes', which is why they called the style of the painting on the walls and ceilings 'grotesque'. The first book to reveal this vast treasury, Ornament and the Grotesque brings the story up to the late 19th century and shows how it led eventually to Art Nouveau.
Far removed from the formal language of traditional classical ornament, what they saw was something essentially decorative and only semi-serious: parodies of classical mythology, fantastic hybrid monsters, men hatching out of eggs, images of perverse eroticism, impossible architectural visions, giant butterflies, mischievous putti, monkeys, sphinxes and nightmare insects - a repertoire of uninhibited imagination where nothing was taboo.
Inspired by this discovery, Italian artists, including Perugino, Signorelli and Mantegna, immediately started to copy the style. Raphael's decoration of the Vatican Logge in the early 16th century made the grotesque into a Europe-wide fashion, and it soon became an integral decorative feature of the most lavish residences, incorporating ceramics, textiles and tapestries.

all i really want
But all it takes is the touch of skin on skin to make me want nothing at all.
6 comments:
RaspberrySurprise - No, it's my greatest weakness. I'm smart enough to have much more impact on the world, but I'm almost entirely amotivational because I get too much pleasure from the little things. Why work hard, why go to school or get published or create anything, when everything I want is between my legs?
John B - Funny, CC and I used to fantasize about running away in an RV. There was the question of money though.'ell, most days I'm content to chat with the pups.
Doesn't take much to make me happy... some days, yes I want to leave my foot print on the world. Other days, it doesn't matter, my happiness with everything wins. Like now... have a pup laying on my foot, looking at me like its the best spot in the world.
Personal enjoyment wins every time.

In the past few posts we looked at the length of the description fields in the DPLA dataset as a whole and at the provider/hub level.
The length of the description field isn't the only field that was indexed for this work. In fact I indexed on a variety of different values for each of the descriptions in the dataset.
Below are the fields I currently am working with.
Field | Indexed Value Example |
dpla_id | 11fb82a0f458b69cf2e7658d8269f179 |
id | 11fb82a0f458b69cf2e7658d8269f179_01 |
provider_s | usc |
desc_order_i | 1 |
description_t | A corner view of the Santa Monica City Hall.; Streetscape. Horizontal photography. |
desc_length_i | 82 |
tokens_ss | "A", "corner", "view", "of", "the", "Santa", "Monica", "City", "Hall", "Streetscape", "Horizontal", "photography" |
token_count_i | 12 |
average_token_length_f | 5.5833335 |
percent_int_f | 0 |
percent_punct_f | 0.048780486 |
percent_letters_f | 0.81707317 |
percent_printable_f | 1 |
percent_special_char_f | 0 |
token_capitalized_f | 0.5833333 |
token_lowercased_f | 0.41666666 |
percent_1000_f | 0.5 |
non_1000_words_ss | "santa", "monica", "hall", "streetscape", "horizontal", "photography" |
percent_5000_f | 0.6666667 |
non_5000_words_ss | "santa", "monica", "streetscape", "horizontal" |
percent_en_dict_f | 0.8333333 |
non_english_words_ss | "monica", "streetscape" |
percent_stopwords_f | 0.25 |
has_url_b | FALSE |
This post will try and pull together some of the data from the different fields listed above and present them in a way that we will hopefully be able to use to derive some meaning from.
More Description Length Discussion
In the previous posts I've primarily focused on the length of the description fields. There are two other fields that I've indexed that are related to the length of the description fields. These two fields include the number of tokens in a description and the average token length of fields.
I've included those values below. I've included two mean values, one for all of the descriptions in the dataset (17,884,946 descriptions) and in the other the descriptions that are 1 character in length or more (13,771,105descriptions).
Field | Mean – Total | Mean – 1+ length |
desc_length_i | 83.321 | 108.211 |
token_count_i | 13.346 | 17.333 |
average_token_length_f | 3.866 | 5.020 |
The graphs below are based on the numbers of just descriptions that are 1+ length or more.
This first graph is being reused from a previous post that shows the average length of description by Provider/Hub. David Rumsey and the Getty are the two that average over 250 characters per description.
It shouldn't surprise you that David Ramsey and Getter are two of the Providers/Hubs that have the highest average token counts, with longer descriptions generally creating more tokens. There are a few differences that don't match this though, USC that has an average of just over 50 characters for the average description length comes in as the third highest in the average token counts at over 40 tokens per description. There are a few other providers/hubs that look a bit different than their average description length.
Below is a graph of the average token lengths by providers. The lower the number is the lower average length of a token. The mean for the entire DPLA dataset for descriptions of length 1+ is just over 5 characters.
That's all I have to say about the various statistics related to length for this post. I swear!. Next we move on to some of the other metrics that I calculated when indexing things.
Other Metrics for the Description Field
Throughout this analysis I had a question of when to take into account that there were millions of records in the dataset that had no description present. I couldn't just throw away that fact in the analysis but I didn't know exactly what to do with them. So below I present statistics for the average of many of the fields I indexed as both the mean of all of the descriptions and then the mean of just the descriptions that are one or more characters in length. The graphs that follow the table below are all based on the subset of descriptions that are greater than or equal to one character in length.
Field | Mean – Total | Mean – 1+ length |
percent_int_f | 12.368% | 16.063% |
percent_punct_f | 4.420% | 5.741% |
percent_letters_f | 50.730% | 65.885% |
percent_printable_f | 76.869% | 99.832% |
percent_special_char_f | 0.129% | 0.168% |
token_capitalized_f | 26.603% | 34.550% |
token_lowercased_f | 32.112% | 41.705% |
percent_1000_f | 19.516% | 25.345% |
percent_5000_f | 31.591% | 41.028% |
percent_en_dict_f | 49.539% | 64.338% |
percent_stopwords_f | 12.749% | 16.557% |
Stopwords are words that occur very commonly in natural language. I used a list of 127 stopwords for this work to help understand what percentage of a description (based on tokens) is made up of stopwords. While stopwords generally carry little meaning for natural language, they are a good indicator of natural language, so providers/hubs that have a higher percentage of stopwords would probably have more descriptions that resemble natural language.
I was curious about how much punctuation was present in a description on average. I used the following characters as my set of "punctuation characters"
I found the number of characters in a description that were made up of these characters vs other characters and then divided the number of punctuation characters by the total description length to get the percentage of the description that is punctuation.
Punctuation is common in natural language but it occurs relatively infrequently. For example that last sentence was eighty characters long and only one of them was punctuation (the period at the end of the sentence). That comes to a percent_punctuation of only 1.25%. In the graph above you will see the the bhl provider/hub has over 50% of their description with 25-49% punctuation. That's very high when compared to the other hubs and the fact that there is an average of about 5% overall for the DPLA dataset. Digital Commonwealth has a percentage of descriptions that are from 50-74% punctuation which is pretty interesting as well.
Next up in our list of things to look at is the percentage of the description field that consists of integers. For review, integers are digits, like the following.
I used the same process for the percent integer as I did for the percent punctuation mentioned above.
You can see that there are several providers/hubs that have quite a high percentage integer for their descriptions. These providers/hubs are the bhl and the smithsonian. The smithsonian has over 70% of its descriptions with percent integers of over 70%.
Once we've looked at punctuation and integers, that leaves really just letters of the alphabet to makeup the rest of a description field.
That's exactly what we will look at next. For this I used the following characters to define letters.
I didn't perform any case folding so letters with diacritics wouldn't be counted as letters in this analysis, but we will look at those a little bit later.
For percent letters you would expect there to be a very high percentage of the descriptions that themselves contain a high percentage of letters in the description. Generally this appears to be true but there are some odd providers/hubs again mainly bhl and the smithsonian, though nypl, kdl and gpo also seem to have a different distribution of letters than others in the dataset.
Special Characters
The next thing to look at was the percentage of "special characters" used in a description. For this I used the following definition of "special character". If a character is not present in the following list of characters (which also includes whitespace characters) then it is considered to be a "special character"
A note in reading the graph above, keep in mind that the y-axis is only 95-100% so while USC looks different here it only represents 3% of its descriptions that have 50-100% of the description being special characters. Most likely a set of descriptions that have metadata created in a non-english language.
The final graph I want to look at in this post is the percentage of descriptions for a provider/hub that has a URL present in its description. I used the presence of either http:// or https:// in the description to define if it does or doesn't have a URL present.
The majority providers/hubs don't have URLs in their descriptions with a few obvious exceptions. The provider/hubs of washington, mwdl, harvard, gpo and david_ramsey do have a reasonable number of descriptions with URLs with washington leading with almost 20% of their descriptions having a URL present.
Again this analysis is just looking at what high-level information about the descriptions can tell us. The only metric we've looked at that actually goes into the content of the description field to pull out a little bit of meaning is the percent stopwords. I have one more post in this series before we wrap things up and then we will leave descriptions in the DPLA along for a bit.

Community Bread is a Melbourne based artisan independent bakery providing customers with the highest quality bread made from the highest quality ingredients. Community Bread provides a subscription based membership model and will deliver freshly baked bread to the customer, to ensure freshness and convenience. Hand delivering the bread also provides a connection point between producer and consumer. Community Bread believes that fresh, handmade bread is one of life's most simple pleasures. Being able to share that bread makes that simple pleasure very very special.
Our bread is made from three ingredients. Flour, salt and water. The flour we use is organic and is sourced from an Australian, family owned business. Our bread is made patiently and above all else, lovingly. We let the bread ferment naturally and at it's own pace. This is generally a 40 hour process. Output is limited to ensure that the highest quality product makes it to our subscribers.
Deliveries can be to a home address or to a place of work. It is up to you to nominate. As all bread is baked on a subscription based model there is no waste. All deliveries are carried out on a bicycle which limits our environmental impact. Currently we are offering delivery to Melbourne CBD, North Melbourne, Kensington, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Fitzroy North, Carlton, Carlton North, Parkville, Brunswick and Northcote. If you fall outside of this catchment area please contact us and we can see if we can arrange a different method to get our bread to you.
True gentlemen who have the passion and patience to teach as well as entertain throughout the whole workshop, all things sourdough. I can now make with confidence beautiful sourdough bread where I struggled previously. The highlight was seeing the result of baking the bread and it lookin, smelling and tasting as it should. Amazing.

February 6, 2014
Paracas is a desert peninsula located within the Pisco Province in the Ica Region, on the south coast of Peru. It is here were Peruvian archaeologist, Julio Tello, made an amazing discovery in 1928, a massive and elaborate graveyard containing tombs filled with the remains of individuals with the largest elongated skulls found anywhere in the world.
These have come to be known as the 'Paracas skulls'. In total, Tello found more than 300 of these elongated skulls, which are believed to date back around 3,000 years.
A DNA analysis has now been conducted on one of the skulls and expert Brien Foerster has released preliminary information regarding these enigmatic skulls. It is well-known that most cases of skull elongation are the result of cranial deformation, head flattening, or head binding, in which the skull is intentionally deformed by applying force over a long period of time.
It is usually achieved by binding the head between two pieces of wood, or binding in cloth. However, while cranial deformation changes the shape of the skull, it does not alter its volume, weight, or other features that are characteristic of a regular human skull. The Paracas skulls, however, are different.
Wikipedia Commons
The cranial volume is up to 25 percent larger and 60 percent heavier than conventional human skulls, meaning they could not have been intentionally deformed through head binding/flattening.
They also contain only one parietal plate, rather than two. The fact that the skulls' features are not the result of cranial deformation means that the cause of the elongation is a mystery, and has been for decades.
Mr. Juan Navarro, owner and director of the local museum, called the Paracas History Museum, which houses a collection of 35 of the Paracas skulls, allowed the taking of samples from 5 of the skulls.
The samples consisted of hair, including roots, a tooth, skull bone and skin, and this process was carefully documented via photos and video. The samples were sent to the late Lloyd Pye, founder of the Starchild Project, who delivered the samples to a geneticist in Texas for DNA testing.
The results are now back, and Brien Foerster, author of more than ten books and an authority on the ancient elongated headed people of South America, has just revealed the preliminary results of the analysis. He reports on the geneticist's findings:
"It had mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) with mutations unknown in any human, primate, or animal known so far. But a few fragments I was able to sequence from this sample indicate that if these mutations will hold we are dealing with a new human-like creature, very distant from Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans."
The implications are huge. "I am not sure it will even fit into the known evolutionary tree," Foerster wrote. He added that if the Paracas individuals were so biologically different, they would not have been able to interbreed with humans.
The results need to be replicated and more analysis undertaken before final conclusions can be drawn.

Critical Reviews™ in Immunology
DOI: 10.1615/CritRevImmunol.v25.i5.10
pages 343-360 Immune Functions of Proteinase 3
Shunji Sugawara
Division of Oral Immunology, Department of Oral Biology, Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry, Sendai, Japan ABSTRACTThe primary function of neutrophil-derived serine proteases, neutrophil elastase, cathepsin G, and proteinase 3 (PR3) are thought to be the degradation of extracellular proteins at sites of inflammation, but excessive, prolonged, or inappropriate proteolytic activity causes harmful effects in the body. Although there are strong structural similarities among these proteases, PR3 has unique properties in many respects. In particular, PR3 is a major target antigen of autoantibodies, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). Recent findings also revealed that PR3 is critically involved in the regulation of immune function. This review discusses the expression of PR3 in nonhemopoietic cells and focuses on the immune functions of PR3 with respect to direct modulation of cell signaling by PR3, PR3-mediated cell activation, and the possible involvement of protease-activated receptors, modulation of the cytokine network, innate immunity and PR3, and recent findings about the generation and function of ANCA. |

A Mixed Day...
3 comments:
Any day there are strange people working in your house is a mixed day!
Thanks for reminding me of that excellent quote from what was my son's favorite movie when he was a little boy. I'm very fortunate that quote is the story of my life too! - 3:45 AM
I think anyone who is a reasonably serious competitor remains one throughout life. While a motorcycle accident gave me a bad knee that doesn't allow running, I fall back on my Bullseye experience to "take out" my targets at our local IDPA club. Shooting at 25-50 yds still seems natural, plus I get to use 2 hands and those really are big targets! LOL So if the scenario allows it, I put those skills to use. I don't win squat due to times and don't expect to, but I get the satisfaction of knowing I can do something that the others think is hard. I notice the same shift you mention. As a teenager, small bore, 20-30s High Power and Bullseye, pistol silhouette 30-40, Skeet and Trap throughout all this. Only in my 50s and 60s did I turn to the "defensive" based sports. At this point, the only person I am competing against is myself, but it is still satisfying not to come in last!
Thaine - 10:17 AM
Just a moment to thank all those who 68 years ago slogged into cold waters off France to save a world. God Bless you all. A tear filled read is the Prayer that FDR gave over the radio to a different nation than today.

New York, Aug 18: The teenage daughter of American chat show host and comedienne Rosie O'Donnell is missing and police are looking for her in New York, the television star announced today.
Chelsea O'Donnell, 17, was last seen a week ago, the comedienne said on her website accompanied by a photograph of her daughter. Chelsea left home with her therapy dog and is in need of medical attention after she stopped taking her medicine, O'Donnell said.
Police have been looking for her in the Rockland County area of New York, north of Manhattan, since August 16, O'Donnell said. She was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, dark ripped blue jeans, women's grey converse sneakers and a black backpack.
Chelsea has a large tattoo of a dream catcher with the word "Breathe" and was with her six-month-old terrier Bear. The comedienne appealed on anyone with any information to contact authorities or ring emergency services.
O'Donnell, who has also acted in films alongside Tom Hanks, was in the headlines most recently over a spat with billionaire White House contender Donald Trump.
Trump insulted her appearance during the Republican candidates' television debate earlier this month when questioned about his attitude to women.

Michigan cornerback Jeremy Clark has been denied a sixth year by the NCAA, according to WTKA Radio in Ann Arbor, this is a big blow to the Michigan secondary that was decimated by graduation following Michigan's Orange Bowl loss to Florida State.
Clark suffered a torn ACL in the Penn State game and Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh had sought a medical redshirt. Clark started the first three games of the season in place of Jourdan Lewis who missed the beginning of the season with an injury.
Clark has signed with an agent and plans to play in the NFL.
Clark started seven games at corner in 2015 and three in 2016 before his injury. Clark was an important member of the Michigan secondary, battling Channing Stribling for the starting spot.
Michigan will enter the 2017 season with very lit...

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Robberts Early OriginsThe surname Robberts was first found in the county of Denbighshire (Welsh: Sir Ddinbych), a historic county, created in 1536 at the Act of Union with England, and located in Northeast Wales, where they were descended from Einion Efell, Lord of Cynllateh, through Howell ap Iolyn of Llangedwyn, and were directly descended from Rhodri Mawr, King of Wales. Robberts Spelling VariationsRobberts Spelling VariationsAlthough there are not an extremely large number Welsh surnames, there are an inordinately large number of spelling variations of those surnames. This variety of spellings began almost immediately after the acceptance of surnames within Welsh society. As time progressed, these old Brythonic names were eventually were recorded in English. This process was problematic in that many of the highly inflected sounds of the native language of Wales could not be properly captured in English. Some families, however, did decide to modify their own names to indicate a branch loyalty within the family, a religious adherence, or even a patriotic affiliation. The name Robberts has seen various spelling variations: Roberts, Robert, Robartes, Robarts and others.

MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
John MorganA new race of dragon I developed for a Dungeons and Dragons freelance campaign in which we do whateer we want. Even better, I filled the gap between metallic (good) and chromatic (evil) dragons. Titanium dragons, so named because of the qualities of their scales and perhaps their whole being, are usually neutral on both axes (singular axis). Much like blue and Bronze dragons, they "breathe" lightning (it would actually be discharging electricity, not breathing). Not too fond of treasure like the other dragons that is (elemental dragons are content with themselves enough to only care about themselves and not their horde.) If only I could get one to ride on half the time:) So anyways, this is Legna, surveying the land around her before she takes off for her morning flight. It could probably be her lucky day (after all, she is a young adult dragon) Uh, yeah. Probably not. Who knows. Forgive me for the blank background. I have not found nor drawn a background for it yet.

Patrick McIlheran of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has a great post regarding the birthers and the "real" Barry Obama.
Maybe the birthers should focus on the other lies circulating Obama:
"He wasn't raised by a single mother, really, but by settled grandparents. His parents didn't meet in the wake of Selma."
"But Americans don't know, nor do they know what Obama did visiting Pakistan as a young man, or why his own story of his years of growing up in Indonesia do not jibe with public records."

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) Megan Cousins & Molly McMahon
How does a person inherit EB? Is it dominant or recessive? EB is neither infectious nor contagious, the only way someone can obtain the disease is genetically through their parents There are two ways that the disease can be passed on from a parent: The first is during a pregnancy, the mother can pass the disease on to her child if she has the disease. If she has the disease, there is only a one in two chance the child will have the form of EB that the mother has. The other means of transmission is either dominant of recessive inheritance, depending on the form of EB. If the parent is dominant, then every child will have a fifty-fifty chance of inheriting the disease. If the gene is recessive, both the parents must be carriers of the gene, but not actually affected by it. In this case, there is a one in four chance that the child will have the disease, and half a chance that the child will be an unaffected carrier.
What are the possible genotypes of the parents? EB is not a chromosomal abnormality It is a spontaneous genetic mutation which took place in the egg or sperm before fertilization If a child has the disease, the parents are either both carriers but no not have the disease (Ee x Ee) OR one of the parents has the disease and one is a carrier (ee x Ee).
How prevalent is the disease in the population? It is estimated that 1 out of every 50,000 live births are affected with some form of EB. Every race and sex is affected equally.
What are the chances of a person with this disease passing the disease to their offspring? If a mother has the disease, there is a 1 in 2 chance the child will inherit EB If one parent is dominant (Ee) there is a 50/50 chance of each offspring inheriting EB If both parents have the recessive gene (ee) there is a 1 in 4 chance the child will be affected If both parents have the recessive gene (ee) there is a 50/50 chance the child will be a unaffected carrier
How is EB diagnosed? EB is diagnosed when a person exhibits the symptoms of any of these three main types: EB Simplex, Dystrophic EB (dominant or recessive form) and Junctional EB Symptoms: EB Simplex Blisters develop mainly on a child ' s: hands (usually on the palms), and feet (usually on the soles) Symptoms may include excessive sweating on the hands and feet (hyperhidrosis) Blistering affects skin that is constantly rubbed, for example, by clothes, or the edges of a nappy. There may also be blisters inside the mouth The blisters usually heal without leaving scars. Warm weather, heat and humidity can make the blistering worse.
Cont. Dystrophic EB (DEB): Symptoms of DEB can vary widely, and they can be mild to severe. In some forms of DEB, blisters may only affect part of the body (localized). In other forms of DEB, the blistering can be much more widespread (generalized). Dominant inheritance causes the blisters and scarring may be limited to the child ' s: Hands Feet Knees Elbows Recessive inheritance the condition tends to be more severe. The blisters and scarring can affect a baby ' s whole body: at birth, or during the first few weeks of life. extensive blistering and scarring also occurs and complications, such as problems with the digestive system and the kidneys
Cont. Junctional EB (JEB): As with DEB, the symptoms of JEB can vary. The symptoms of some forms of JEB can be mild, whereas other forms can be severe. Blisters and fragile skin can affect only part of the body, or they can be very widespread. Herlitz JEB is a severe, life-threatening form of the condition. As well as extensive loss of skin, Herlitz JEB causes many complications, including breathing difficulties and anaemia (iron deficiency)
What are the physical symptoms of the disease? In general, EB causes blisters due to touching everyday objects that can be either subject to one area or over a large part of the body. In the most severe cases, these blisters leave permanent damage to the skin, whereas in less severe cases the skin will heal normally. In bad cases, fingers may fuse together, for example, and hands contract limiting movement. Some forms of EB are fatal Since the skin is so sensitive, blistering and scarring is both extremely common, and hard to heal.
What is the life expectancy? Babies born with Junctional EB have a life expectancy of 2 years People with EB Simplex have the possibility to live a full life, but also restricted by the condition A certain life expectancy cannot be put on people with EB because many complications may arise from the disease
How can EB be treated? The goal of treatment is to prevent the formation of blisters and subsequent complications. Treatment is dependent on how severe the condition is Recommendations often include measures to avoid skin trauma (damage) and to avoid hot environments. Most patients try to relieve the extreme pain that they are always in Preventing infection is also necessary There is protein and gene therapy And skin grafting to try and restore the missing proteins Physical therapy to make sure that joints do not get stiff Proper nutrition There is nothing known to relieve the symptoms
New treatments/research Stem Cells may be a possible cure for EB Since EB is a mutation in the genes there are no outside treatments that are known to cure the disease What is most heavily researched is what to do to relieve the symptoms and the pain
Personal We interviewed a 11 year old girl who goes to Platt Middle School and has EB. She wears protective pads around her arms and legs to keep from rubbing against walls and other children. She has a automatic wheelchair because she cannot walk due to recent surgeries. Here is an overview of the interview: Q:What is your favorite subject in school? A: Choir and LA Q: Is it hard coming to school and being around peers? A: Sometimes yes, but most kids are used to it. The hardest thing is not being included because they are almost scared to hurt me Q: What is your favorite thing to do outside of school? A: Read, I just finished White Fang Q: What is one word you would use to describe yourself? A: Weird
Cont. Q: Are kids at school supportive of your condition? A: No, but I really just want to fit in. Q: Where do you go for treatment? Special Clinic? Hospital? A: Children's Hospital in Denver. Q: What types of doctors do you have? A: Physical Therapy, Main Doctor, Skin Doctor, Bone Doctor, Nutritionist Q:Do you ever get a chance to be around other kids with EB? A: Ya. There is this camp in Pennslyvania that I go to, which is un because everybody knows what we're going through. So that's fun. And then I have a group of friends at Children's and our doctors sometimes take us on cool trips, like we went to the Rockies game once. Q:What helps to relieve the pain? A: Baths with epsom salt help a lot, and motrin
Cont. When talking to this 11 year old girl it was hard not to feel bad that everytime you run into a chair your skin doesn't rip, but she has so much courage Besides the fact that it hurts to walk and she cant play sports she tries as hard as she can to be normal With the help of doctors, kids with EB can still have chances to go on ski trips and summer camps She is very limited to her wheel chair because of the risk of damage to her butterfly like skin She wears pads to avoid any type of accidental bumps She has a drive to be normal, which is why she eats lunch with her peers in the cafeteria so that she can be apart of the middle school experience
Organizations There is a non profit organization called DEBRA ( Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association) which his dedicated to finding a cure for EB. www.debra.org There is also NORD, the National Organization for Rare Diseases www.rarediseases.org
Cures There are no cures for this condition, and it is unlikely that a cure will be found soon because it is a genetic mutation that occurs in the parents

A Mango is a Terrible Thing to Waste
Long gone are the days when travel writers could pique a reader's interest by merely writing about travel. Books like Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad, which capitalized on the fact that most 19th century Americans had never traveled to Europe, have fallen victim to global communication and Western affluence; we've been there, we've done that, and we've walked along all the paved roads the planet has to offer. As a result, we've entered an era of stunt travel writing, in which writers more often than not employ an unsubtle hook to pull readers along for the ride: rowing around the eastern half of the United States, bicycling the circumference of Australia, hiking in the footsteps of another travel writer, traveling from one end of something to the opposite end of the same thing. No one simply goes for the sake of going anymore—or they don't do so with the hope of publishing an account of the trip at any rate. That's why a modest travelogue like Ann Vanderhoof's An Embarrassment of Mangoes comes as an unassuming surprise.
Lacking eccentric ambition or the meticulous introspection of a book like John Barth's Sabbatical, Vanderhoof's trip aspires to little more than a cruise down America's Intracoastal Waterway—"the watery equivalent of I-95"—and through the heavily touristed islands of the eastern Caribbean, a journey comparable to a tour of the national parks of the American West in a recreational vehicle. Unable to deliver much peril or adventure, revelation or conflict, Vanderhoof's story is merely a realization of the dream of middle-aged professionals everywhere: to ditch the office and sail away to sand and sun.
Vanderhoof, an editor living in Toronto, and her husband Steve, a freelance art director and amateur sailor, decide to put their demanding careers on hold, rent out their house, and cruise unhurriedly down the North American coast, skipping through the chain of islands that reaches through the Caribbean Sea, from the tip of Florida to the coast of Venezuela. The excursion is to last two years, an extended holiday from the rigors of urban existence. Vanderhoof is anxious about the trip, given her inexperience on the water, but she's game; by the end of the trip, she finds herself to be a competent—if not always confident—sailor. None of her worst fears, or even very many of her minor ones, are realized, and the couple's boat returns to its berth on Lake Ontario unbruised and intact.
Vanderhoof's book is not entirely free from contrivance, and her gimmick comes in the form of food. A pair of enthusiastic gourmands, Ann and Steve intend from the beginning to make theirs a self-consciously food-themed cruise—their boat is christened Receta (Spanish for "recipe"), and their little inflatable dinghy is called Snack. Much of Vanderhoof's narrative is centered around shopping for ingredients, cooking, eating, drinking, and musing about shopping, eating, and drinking. Lest the reader be left out of the fun, the author ends each chapter with a selection of recipes from the previous pages. While the conceit is modestly clever, it wears thin eventually, and some of the most interesting cuisine mentioned in the text—such as the Indian-influenced fare of Trinidad—is disappointingly absent from the recipe collection.
An Embarrassment of Mangoes disappoints, too, in its unambitious reach. In light of Vanderhoof's enthusiasm and skill with language, the reader is given precious little to grab onto in her account of the journey, and the book ends up feeling frustratingly lightweight. Apart from an extended stay in Grenada and some voyeuristic participation in island festivals, the couple make very few forays into the heart of Caribbean culture. Instead, they anchor Receta in harbors, bobbing amid the floating resort community made up of countless other "cruisers." They congratulate themselves when they go ashore, thinking themselves more travelers than the tourists anchored around them, but one suspects that most of the other cruisers see themselves in precisely the same way.
Nor are we given much insight into Ann and Steve. What Vanderhoof tells us about herself and her husband—that they are harried, hurried, and long for relaxation—is not a revelation; it is a given that wealthy Westerners harbor romantic dreams of exotic getaways, and merely describing such a dream is not enough. Vanderhoof's real opportunity was to explain to us what happens when the dream comes to pass. How does one reenter one's professional life after dropping out for two years? How does an extended sabbatical transform a person? We find no real answers to these questions in Vanderhoof's book, and that is a shame.
The only discovery to be found in An Embarrassment of Mangoes is one that Vanderhoof perhaps did not intend: a not altogether flattering portrayal of the "cruiser" culture in the Caribbean. The world Vanderhoof describes is a parade of affluent professionals, scouting parties for the Food & Wine set, who hop from island, stroll through picturesque markets, then retreat to the harbor, where they zip back and forth between one another's boats in rubber dinghies, attending dinner parties and rum-tastings. It's a mobile Club Med, a cohesive collection of invaders from the north who descend on the islands in a frenzy of culinary colonialism.
Vanderhoof is a talented writer, and she and her husband seem to be capable sailors. Unfortunately, the product of these traits—a competently crafted account of an uneventful sailing trip—makes for less than compelling reading. Absent significant examination of Caribbean culture or meaningful introspection on the part of the author, we're left with only mangoes.
