Nevada City men arrested for allegedly shipping marijuana
December 8, 2012
A year and a half after their arrest, charges finally have been filed against two Nevada City men who allegedly shipped marijuana to North Carolina.
Gavin Alan Gryte, 37, and Hans Kubitschek, 33, were arrested in May 2011 after allegedly shipping marijuana to North Carolina.
A package containing marijuana was intercepted by detectives in New Hanover County, N.C., and their investigation allegedly led Nevada County Sheriff's deputies back to the two men.
Local detectives arrested Gryte on suspicion of transporting marijuana for sale at his residence after they allegedly located a substantial amount of packaging material.
Sheriff's deputies also searched Kubitschek's residence, where they allegedly found a "sophisticated grow room" with more than 100 plants and packaging material.
Kubitschek was arrested on suspicion of cultivating marijuana, possession for sale and transportation for sale, as well as violating probation.
He had been on probation for a 2009 arrest in which Nevada County sheriff's deputies uncovered a large amount of weapons, as well as marijuana; he eventually pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor on a weapons charge and was sentenced to three years summary probation with search and seizure terms.
Nevada County Deputy District Attorney Jim Phillips said he had delayed filing charges because he was waiting for the authorities in North Carolina to decide if they were going to prosecute the case from their end.
"We got tired of waiting and we eventually just went ahead and filed the case," he said.
But Phillips only filed initially against Kubitschek because he believed Gryte was deceased, he said. But he has now filed an amended complaint, charging both men with cultivating marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale and transportation for sale.
Kubitschek was in Nevada County Superior Court Thursday but deferred entering a plea. He is set to return Dec. 27; it was not clear when Gryte would be arraigned on the charges.

Out with the old, and in with the new.
No, this isn't referring to Sheraton Phoenix Downtown's many guests checking in and out of the 1,000-room hotel, but instead the produce found on its burgeoning rooftop garden.
Found in areas such as New York, Chicago and even Montreal, rooftop gardens aren't too common in Metro Phoenix, but the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown and District American Kitchen and Wine Bar are changing that.
"For as big as we are, we're always worried about our footprint," says Chef Jay Bogsinske of District American Kitchen & Wine Bar. "This is something that's very unique to hotels. No one as big as we are is doing this; it makes our food better for it."
Growing strong since 2009 on its fourth-floor patio, this rooftop garden has been a plan of the Sheraton's since day one.
"This was built into the budget, even in the beginning, because the passion was there for it," Bogsinske says. "It was part of the original vision, to go after District American. When they started digging in the ground, this was already put together in their minds."
With about 60 different types of produce grown throughout the year, the Sheraton strives to prove that even a 1,000-room hotel can become self-sufficient, sourcing local, fresh ingredients.
According to Bogsinske, the hotel is completely self-sufficient on radishes, chocolate mint, lemon grass, oregano, curry, thyme, rosemary, sage and bay leaf. He adds that with all of the garnish coming straight from the rooftop garden, picked fresh that day, this keeps the restaurant to season.
"A lot of hotels are not as quite in tune to the season as we are," Bogsinske says. "The garden keeps us grounded, so we plan our dishes around that."
From artichokes, corn and peanuts, to sage, lavender, chives, rosemary, thyme, curry, celery and oregano, all of the cooks are involved in cultivating the garden. Fifteen to 20 hours per week go into maintaining the garden, which includes harvesting, planting and composting.
"Me and one other person will come up here everyday or every other day," Bogsinske says. "It's a moment of zen from going 200 miles an hour downstairs to coming up here and taking care of it. There's nothing better than something you love with your hands, a craft you take care of."
But it's not just the District American team who tend the garden; they've partnered with Singh Farms, a 20-acre, sustainable farm located in Scottsdale. This is where District American sources its nutrient-rich soil.
"We save all of our scraps and are part of the composting program at Singh Farms," Bogsinske says. "We get better growth than most people because of the strength and nutrients of the soil."
According to Bogsinske and Katie Brashear, complex director of public relations for Sheraton Phoenix Downtown, the relationship between District American and Singh Farms is unique ― built and strengthened over time. They say it's not just about buying and eating local, but, more importantly, educating one's self in learning to grow and sustaining a garden.
"Sheraton is a corporate hotel, but we have so much passion about what we do and that resonates from the hotel to the culinary side, and we follow through," Brashear says. "It's everything from starting with the soil to the inception, to cultivating and nurturing, so we have the freshest product identical to what you can find, quality-wise, at Singh Farms."
Currently, the garden is at 75 feet, with plans to add another 30 feet by the end of this year. Bogsinske says that they hope to double its size in the near future.
To view the rooftop garden for yourself, visit District American at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown.

Grades 7 & Up
Sophie's mother runs a sanctuary for bonobo chimpanzees in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in Africa. While visiting from America for a few weeks, Sophie rescues a bonobo from a man in the markets of Kinshasa. Otto, the badly abused bonobo, quickly bonds with Sophie, but she knows she must leave him soon to return to her father in the United States.
When the Congolese president is assassinated, and armed revolution breaks out across the entire country, Sophie's status as U.S. citizen means she can safely be extracted and returned to her home in the States... but it also means she must leave her Congolese friends at the sanctuary... and she must leave Otto.
Forced into a UN rescue van against her will, to be returned home, Sophie makes a daring decision and jumps from the van to return and care for Otto. A dangerous choice... especially when the sanctuary is attacked. Sophie and Otto miraculously escape into the gated bonobo enclosure while everyone else there is brutally murdered. Sophie and Otto must survive both the wilds of the jungle enclosure and the wild anger of revolutionaries trying to destroy the country.
Gripping and beautifully written, this powerful novel about survival in the face of many types of danger may redefine your definitions of human and animal.

Brevard, N.C. - Brevard College announced August 9 that Michael Jones has resigned his position as Head Coach of the Men's Basketball program. Jones has accepted the position of Head Coach at Tusculum College and will be introduced in Greeneville, Tenn. on Wednesday afternoon.
"This was a very difficult decision for me and my family," said Jones. "It is with mixed emotions that I have accepted the head coaching position at Tusculum College. Brevard is has very much become home to me and my family over the past 12 years. I feel honored to have been the only four year head coach at Brevard College. We have been fortunate to enjoy a great deal of success on the basketball floor, while watching 98% of my players graduate."
Jones led Brevard to a historic campaign in 2009-2010, as the Tornados finished the season 21-10, while capturing the Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament title and the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Division II Tournament. Jones was named the SAC Coach of the Year as the team set or tied 27 individual and team records.
The Maysville, Ky. native has amassed 214 victories in his 14 years as a collegiate head coach, including 175 in his 12 seasons at Brevard. Jones has led his programs to three national tournaments, including two with the Tornados. Jones has also seen five of his players offered professional basketball contracts, including two in the NBDL.
While at Brevard, Jones' teams have accounted for 20 wins or more on four occasions. In 2001-02, his squad was ranked as high as No. 12 nationally (NAIA), while posting an impressive 22-11 worksheet. The Tornados captured both the Appalachian Athletic Conference regular season and tournament titles that season, led by All-American and AAC Player of the Year David Evans.
But most impressive with his programs is the 98 percent graduation rate during Jones' tenure.
He has mentored 10 All-Conference performers at Brevard, including this past season with Josh Roper, the 2011 SAC scoring champion. Roper, a 2011 First Team All-SAC selection and 2011 Daktronics All-South Atlantic Region Second Team selection, finished up his senior season at Brevard leading the league with 21.2 points per game and 2.56 steals per contest.
Also among the list of outstanding BC players coached by Jones is the program's all-time leading scorer and rebounder in All-American Jonathan Whitson (2006-2010). Whitson is Brevard's career leader in points (2,028), rebounds (942) and blocked shots (122).
"I have so many great friends here in the Brevard community, and am truly thankful to the presidents and athletic directors for which I have been able to serve," said Jones. "I am also very thankful to current AD Juan Mascaro, Debbie Hall, Dr. Teague and Dr. Joyce for the conversations we had and their desire for me to stay. However, this is an opportunity for me and my family that we couldn't pass up. This has been a very difficult decision for the entire Jones family and we will dearly miss our Tornados family."
"We would like to thank Coach Jones for his contributions to Brevard College during his 13 years of service," said BC Interim AD Mascaro. "We want to wish him and his family well in his future endeavors both on and off the court."

Transgender: An Overview
Many people don't know what being transgender means. I, not being transgendered, don't fully understand every aspect of it either but my fiancée is in the middle of transitioning so I want to express what I do know. Here is some information I've gathered about people transitioning from one gender to another.
Being transgender means feeling that you are a different gender than your physical biology. It means that a person does not see themselves as the biological gender they were born into. In other words they do not feel that their gender matches their sex (their body parts). Some people (like my sociology professor) refer to a person transitioning as "man to woman" or "woman to man" because (as he describes it) people transitioning are only transitioning their gender, …

Arsenal are one of the Premier League's elite teams. Arsene Wenger has led his team to glory, whilst producing quality player after player. The Gunners were unbeaten for a long while, which ensured countless of fans wanted to wear their red and white and their yellow soccer jerseys. Robert Pires was one of they key players during that time , but now it's the likes of Theo Walcott that the fans are in awe of. Arsenal have improved since signing Mesut Ozil, and after nine years without winning a trophy, Arsene Wenger's men beat Hull City in the 2013/14 FA Cup final. Many believe this glory will be the start of something special. With Arsenal starting to spend more money, can we expect them to aim for Premier League and UEFA Champions League success next, or will domestic cups be as good as it gets for the Gunners?

DALLAS -- LAI Games said it has partnered with Komuse Co. Ltd. (Goyang City, Republic of Korea) to launch two games at the 2013 Attractions Expo, which will be held by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions at the Orange County Convention center in Orlando, FL, from No. 19 to 22. Slated for rollout at the show are redemption games UFO Express and Rolly Rolly.
UFO Express is an alien-themed redemption game, engineered to appeal to players of all ages and featuring highly visible styling and graphics. The game provides two player positions on opposite sides of a table equipped with a recessed turntable. Players shoot a puck onto the table, where it falls into a hole marked with a ticket value. The holes with the highest value are designated "minor bonus" holes, and each minor bonus brings a player closer to winning the "major bonus" ticket jackpot. The cabinet is futuristically lit by LEDs and surmounted by a scoreboard with a green alien in a flying saucer on top.
Rolly Rolly is a ball-rolling piece that tests players' timing and skill. As a ball rolls along the gap between a pair of slanted parallel rails, the player attempts to time the opening of the rails correctly to drop the ball into the hole with the highest ticket value. If it's dropped into the Big Win hole, it rolls onto a conveyor belt where even more tickets can be won, including a ticket jackpot. The whimsical graphics, curvilinear cabinet and straightforward game play are designed to appeal to young and old alike.
LAI will be the exclusive distributor of both games in the Americas, Europe, Russia and CIS, and the Middle East. The partnership pairs Komuse's design and development expertise with LAI's experience in bringing games to western markets.
LAI Games chief executive Theo Sanders said, "We're very pleased to be working closely with a developer of Komuse's caliber. Player reactions to both games have been fantastic at test sites, with consistent and strong performance reported by operators."
The new Komuse games will be on display in boot No. 412 at the IAAPA Attractions Show.

Mano and Brigitta Solinski play key role in pianists' careers
When the next School of Music graduate wins a prestigious piano competition, he or she will likely thank Mano and Brigitta Solinski.
Brigitta Solinski
Mano Solinski
The Solinskis are major benefactors of the School of Music's Southeastern Piano Festival held each June for top young classical pianists around the country. The couple, who live on Skidaway Island near Savannah, not only have provided a major bequest to ensure the piano festival's long-term future, they also support the festival's yearly operations.
The festival brings 20 of the nation's top high-school age classical concerto pianists to Columbia for a week-long series of workshops, culminating in a competition. They are judged by concerto pianists who previously earned top prize at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in Texas, as well as other judges.
Marina Lomazov
The Solinskis first learned of the Southeastern Piano Festival in 2005 from a student competitor who introduced them to Marina Lomazov, an associate professor of piano at Carolina. Years earlier, Lomazov competed in and won the Hilton Head International competition.
"We were immediately impressed by the program's focus on the students and also overwhelmed, to say the least, by the quality and performance ability of these young pianists," Mano Solinski said. "Meeting with, and hearing from Marina Lomazov about the intent of the festival and the plans for the future if funds allow, we felt an obligation to lend support."
The Solinskis are constant in their support of young classical pianists. Four times a year, they host house recitals featuring young pianists; a few dozen fellow patrons attend. The pianists perform classical compositions by Rachmaninov, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, and other composer greats on the Solinskis' Mason & Hamlin grand piano.

Bloomberg News
CARACAS, Venezuela — In his last year as president, Hugo Chavez ordered Coca-Cola Femsa to cut prices, seized a local steel company's assets and tightened currency controls that may cost Procter &Gamble 275 million. Doing business in Venezuela isn't likely to get easier under his successor.
Interim President Nicolas Maduro has vowed to follow his mentor's policies, which included the expropriation of more than 1,000 companies, price controls on consumer goods and restrictions on buying dollars. His March 5 speech hours before Chavez's death accusing the United States of plotting against the "revolution" was a wake-up call to investors, said Francisco Rodriguez, senior Andes economist at Bank of America.
"People were waiting for the end of the Chavez era and they got a signal that this might just be Chavez, part two," Rodriguez, a Venezuelan national, said in a telephone interview from New York. "That led people to react more cautiously and actually scared some people off."
Maduro, who leads polls ahead of an April 14 election, this week submitted a seven-year economic plan that would "promote socialism as the only option against the predatory and unsustainable capitalist model." His statements leave investors little reason to think this year he'll improve the country's business climate, which the World Bank ranked the worst outside Africa, Alejandro Grisanti, a Latin America analyst at Barclays who is also Venezuelan, said March 6.
Press officials at Venezuela's Communications Ministry didn't respond to a message left by Bloomberg News.
Investors betting on more market-friendly policies post- Chavez helped Venezuelan bonds return 46 percent last year, the most of any emerging market after Ivory Coast. The yield on Venezuela's dollar bonds maturing in 2027 touched a three month- high of 9.5 percent on March 7 and there is "not a lot of upside" to them now, said Diego Ferro, co-chief investment officer at Greylock Capital Management. Yields have since fallen to 9.08 percent on March 14, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Chavez, a former lieutenant colonel who won re-election three times in 14 years, railed against what he called "the devil of money" and didn't discriminate between domestic and foreign companies. He nationalized the Venezuelan steelmaker Siderurgica del Turbio, the local unit of Spanish bank Banco Santander and a mine owned by Toronto-based Crystallex International Corp.
The self-declared socialist, who died after a two-year battle with cancer, also nationalized oil fields run by Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips in the name of his Bolivarian revolution.
Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez this week suspended Russia's largest private crude producer, Lukoil, from the Junin-6 project in the Orinoco Belt for saying Venezuela didn't provide legal certainty to investors. A spokesman with Lukoil, Grigory Volchek, declined to comment.
"Don't risk it by making unfortunate declarations like those by Lukoil," Ramirez said at an event in Caracas Mar. 13.
P&G found itself facing as much as $275 million in after- tax charges when the government devalued the bolivar by 32 percent to 6.3 per dollar last month, the Cincinnati-based company said in a Feb. 14 statement. P&G's press office declined to comment further.
"In this transition to socialism, we must twist their arms as comandante Hugo Chavez said we should," Maduro said in a Feb. 16 speech, referring to corporations.
Venezuela will keep currency controls and continue to impose price controls in a bid to tame the fastest inflation in the region, Barclays's Grisanti said.
Coca-Cola Femsa cut the price of a five-liter bottle by 46 percent in February 2012 after Chavez threatened to seize the Mexico City-based company's assets for overcharging consumers. P&G cut some prices as much as 25 percent after Chavez, during the same televised speech, said its deodorant was too expensive.
Officials at Coca-Cola Femsa in Monterrey, in Mexico, declined to comment when contacted by Bloomberg.
The government last year regulated the price of consumer goods including toothpastes and deodorants sold by more than 300 companies. Congress is debating price caps for cars.
"We've seen over a two, three-year period a lot of negative news come out of this relatively small country," Jack Russo, a consumer staples analyst for Edward Jones &Co. in St. Louis, said by phone March 7.
Clorox Co.'s Chief Financial Officer Stephen Robb said in a Feb. 4 conference call that the Oakland, Calif.-based company was facing "market instability and difficulty implementing price increases" in Venezuela that were "negatively impacting our business."
Clorox already had taken into account the effects of a potential devaluation in their earnings outlook for the fiscal year, Robb said. Clorox press officials declined to comment further.
Automobile manufacturers such as Ford, which at the end of 2012 had $620 million in net monetary assets denominated in bolivars, stand to lose from any new price controls and from the existing currency controls.
"Although results will benefit from new products recently launched or to be launched during the year, the competitive environment and currency risks across the region, especially in Venezuela, are expected to impact our profits adversely," Bob Shanks, Ford's chief financial officer, said on a Jan. 29 conference call.
Officials at Ford's offices in Venezuela, Brazil and its Dearborn, Mich., headquarters didn't respond to phone calls and e-mails requesting comment.
Venezuela ranks 174 out of 177 countries in the Heritage Foundation's index of economic freedom, beating out only Zimbabwe, Cuba and North Korea as "prevalent" corruption and a heavier state presence in the economy hurt its standing, the Washington-based research group said in the report.
"The biggest pitfall for big multinationals operating in Venezuela is the current exchange rate control that has blocked them from repatriating earnings," Asdrubal Oliveros, director of Caracas-based research group Ecoanalitica, said by phone.
Although Venezuela has only 0.4 percent of the world's population, it has a disproportionate share of sales for many consumer products companies, Connie Maneaty, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets in New York, wrote in a Sept. 27 note.
Even with government measures to contain prices, Venezuela had the quickest official annual inflation in Latin America at 23 percent, while analysts polled by Bloomberg forecast its economic growth will trail the regional average by almost two percentage points in 2013.
Maduros's anti-U.S. stance since Chavez's death may stem from a need to rally political and military factions behind his leadership as he seeks to win the presidency next month, said Shannon O'Neil, senior fellow of Latin America studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Maduro, a former bus driver, had 46.4 percent of support in a Jan. 31-Feb. 20 poll by Caracas-based polling company Datanalisis. Opposition candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski has 34.3 percent. The survey had a margin of error of 2.4 percentage points.
If instability continues, some companies may decide the risks there outweigh the benefits, Russo said.
"This isn't China, this isn't India, where you'll put up with anything, given the opportunities," he said.

Khloe Kardashian Odom steps out wearing her wedding ring
(Yahoo!) - Despite rumors swirling that Khloé Kardashian and her basketball star hubby Lamar Odom are getting a divorce amidst his alleged drug addiction issues, the reality star was snapped Monday in West Hollywood wearing her wedding ring.
The 29-year-old was photographed sporting black peep-toe pumps, a printed onesie, and a bright blue bag shopping along with her sister Kourtney while visiting their store, Dash. Even with all the nasty headlines, it seems Khloé is putting up a strong front and has even been making extra time for fun with her family.
On Monday, Scott Disick posted a Keek video in which he, Khloé, Kourtney, and Kim Kardashian are singing along to Drake's "Hold On We're Going Home."

Preserving Expertise
Like many youth since time began and there were pianos to play, my daughter takes piano lessons. In musical ways, she is much like her mom. Both play piano and sing beautifully. And like her mom, my daughter's talent is several notches above average, at the level that leaves you wanting to hear more when each piece is over.
I recently attended a recital to listen to my daughter and her fellow students perform their latest practice numbers. As events go, these recitals are rather relaxed affairs. Audience and performers filter in and out as their personal schedules allow. Students perform in roughly beginner-to-advanced order. Musical numbers range from Twinkle Twinkle Little Star-class tunes to much more complicated pieces by the likes of Chopin and Mozart. With many years of lessons to her credit, my daughter is nearer the "more seasoned, so let's play harder pieces" end of the skill spectrum. From beginning to end, the recital was a nice affair and a great way to spend an early fall evening. As the event drew to a close, however, we were in for an unexpected surprise.
When all students finished playing their prepared pieces, the piano teacher stood to conclude the recital and announce refreshments. Before turning us loose on the pot-luck treat table, however, she requested a few minutes more of our time to share a Chopin number she's working on. Even though we were already 90 minutes into our evening, no one dissented. She is the teacher, after all, carefully nurturing the musical talents of our children. What followed was the true treat of the evening.
I estimate the teacher is near sixty years old, plus or minus a few years. I say this to suggest but two things: she has played the piano for a very long time, and that despite her well-earned expertise, advancing years have a way of softening even the sharpest of talents. But when she laid fingers to keyboard, she performed as every bit the expert she is. Her fingers, though bent with a bit of early stage arthritis, literally danced up-and-down the keyboard. She showed why she is the teacher, the master, in her studio. She played with so much feeling that even those (like myself) who generally avoid classical music and stare at their watches or smart phones impatiently awaiting the final note, put down their electronic distractions and listened with eyes closed, savoring every note. A real treat indeed. Such performances are rarely preserved in recording, but I've since realized that the piano teacher is, quite literally, preserving her skill in each of her students. While all may not reach her skill level, some no doubt will go on to play the same piece, at the same rhythm and speed, inspiring their own listeners to set aside life's distractions and listen to the simple beauty of music well played.
The piano teacher's performance reminded me of a recent presentation I attended from one of my colleagues, an engineer as expert in simulation and modeling as the piano teacher is in matters musical. It turns out that many companies are concerned about a sort of 'technical brain drain' in their staff — a particularly troubling issue for companies that develop and support big things like automobiles, airplanes, and space stations to name a few. Systems in these categories last for years, often decades, so it's not unusual for members of original design teams to move on to other projects or companies, or perhaps even retire, leaving behind little more than printed specifications, schematics, and perhaps lab notebooks. During his presentation, my colleague proposed that modeling and simulation is a way to preserve engineering expertise for any system. Along with specifications and schematics, development teams could archive models and simulation results. Future design teams would then have the benefit of a fully functional virtual model to illustrate how a system works. If you think about it, his proposal makes perfect sense. What better way to pass along system knowledge than with a functioning system model and a complete simulation database. It's the engineering equivalent of piano lessons.
Just as my daughter's piano teacher passes a bit of her expertise along to each student through piano lessons, design teams can pass along their system expertise through models and simulation. Both are effective methods for knowledge transfer. Whether we have musical aptitude or not, we can all learn a little from a piano teacher's example.

Where did you get this from?He would have starred with Sidney Pontier in The Defiant ones.
This was never intended for Elvis. Sammy Davis Jnr. says it was in his autobiography, but he also stated that it was in the '60s. 'The Defiant Ones' was made in 1958.Elvis would have had more blacks in his films, which he requested Barbara McNair to be in Change Of Habit and Parker didn't want her toi be in it but gave in.
Says who? You're making all this sh*t up just to suit your cause.Parker didn't even want Elvis to work with The Sweets. That's why I called him a racist. Elvis wanted to do a blues album and Parker was against it and instead wanted a country folk album.

Everything you just quoted by me is 100% acurate.
Joe Espisito says so about the Supremes in his book.
Barabara McNair has said this herself about Elvis not only wanting her but demanding she got some roll in the film. She was on a show last year and talked about how he stood up for racism and how she spent time with him during scenes.

One thing to note, Elvis' music may be legendary but it's not selling to a mtv generation as it could with better sound/mixes and promo. Otherwise Elvis is no better off as Sinatra or other dead artists when it comes to past music.

Did you exercise during pregnancy?
I have read that exercising during pregnancy can be beneficial in several ways, such as reducing body pain and decreasing fatigue. It can also help prevent gestational diabetes. I did not have a set exercise plan during my pregnancies, but I did try to walk often and stay moving with my children. For guidelines for exercising during pregnancy, this article has some wonderful information.
Did you exercise during pregnancy? Do you think it helped you feel better during pregnancy or have an easier birth?

I didn't have an exercise routine during any of my pregnancies. I was, however, very active with the first 3 pregnancies. With the first, I was an Office Manager for a preschool, so I was walking to classes regularly to talk to teachers, check on a child, etc.
With my 2nd, I was running after a toddler, and with my 3rd I had a day care in my home, and was caring for 5 children. Busy, busy and active.
I stopped day care after my 3rd baby was born, and didn't have much exercise with the 4th or 5th pregnancies. I just remember I felt miserable with nausea. I later learned that moving/exercising can actually help take stress off the liver so that the nausea is not as severe. I wish I had known that then.
Exercise during pregnancy is important. You just want to be sure you're doing it correctly and that it works with your lifestyle. If that means you're at home caring for young children, you'll likely have to find a way to stay active with them rather than running to the gym.

Alice Cooper helps christen baby rhino
Listen to Alice Cooper on iHeartRadio
Alice Cooper has a new "goddaughter." The Czech news agency CTK says the rocker was in the Czech Republic over the weekend to christen four-month-old Maruska, a rare Indian rhinoceros at the zoo in Plzen.
Zoo officials say they had an elaborate ceremony planned for the occasion. But Alice was over an hour-and-a-half late, and only had a few minutes for the christening. He also spent time petting and feeding Maruska and her mother.
Cooper's zoo appearance was in conjunction with his headlining performance at Metalfest, which supports the Plzen zoo. This year's Metalfest is contributing nearly ten-thousand-dollars toward Maruska's care. The event also launched Cooper's month-long European tour.

A member of my family is a diabetic. I have a large supply of used syringes. How can I safely dispose of these needles?
Several options exist for the safe disposal of these items. While Pennsylvania's medical waste regulations do not apply to individuals, Philadelphia residents are expected to follow the established disposal procedures for syringes. Residents should either store used syringes in a hard plastic soda bottle or coffee can. Once either container if full, it should be wrapped tightly in newspaper, tied, and then placed in the residential trash container.
Another option: dispensing physicians could agree to dispose of their diabetic patients' old syringes in the approved containers that physicians are required to have. Ask your doctor if this is a possibility.

Two Found Dead in Northwest Side Home
Two people have been found dead in a home on the city's northwest side, 1200 WOAI news reports.
1200 WOAI's Michael Board reports the shooting call came in on River Pass Street, which is near Wurzbach and Vance Jackson.
Police say the bodies of a man and a woman, described as an estranged couple, were found in the home.
Detectives say the man apparently killed his wife, and then he called 911 to report the crime, and then killed himself. Both of the bodies were found in a back bedroom. Police say the man was 61, the woman was 60.
The man was living at the home by himself, and the woman arrived at the home. Police say there had been an argument preceding the shooting. Both were shot to death.
Nobody else was in the house at the time.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk Says Boeing's 787 Dreamliner Battery is Unsafe

Elon Musk
(Source: wired.com)
He offered his help to Boeing, but the company declined
Boeing's 787 Dreamliner jet has had a lot of troubles lately --
namely with its batteries
-- and the last person the aerospace company likely wanted advice from was competitor Elon Musk.
Musk, the CEO of automaker Tesla and private space transport company SpaceX, recently told
that the 787 Dreamliner's batteries are "inherently unsafe." His company SpaceX competes with the Boeing/Lockheed Martin partnership, United Launch Alliance, in the aerospace sector.
"Unfortunately, the pack architecture supplied to Boeing is inherently unsafe," said Musk.
"Large cells without enough space between them to isolate against the cell-to-cell thermal domino effect means it is simply a matter of time before there are more incidents of this nature. Moreover, when thermal runaway occurs with a big cell, a proportionately larger amount of energy is released and it is very difficult to prevent that energy from then heating up the neighboring cells and causing a domino effect that results in the entire pack catching fire."
However, Mike Sinnett, Boeing's 787 chief project engineer, defended the design and development of the batteries.
"I design a cell to not fail and then assume it will and then ask the next 'what-if' questions," said Sinnett. "And then I design the batteries that if there is a failure of one cell it won't propagate to another. And then I assume that I am wrong and that it will propagate to another and then I design the enclosure and the redundancy of the equipment to assume that all the cells are involved and the airplane needs to be able to play through that."
Musk's Tesla uses batteries fueled by lithium cobalt oxide, which is what Boeing uses for the 787. Musk understands that these batteries have highly flammable tendencies, and even offered his help to Boeing in its construction, but Boeing declined.
"They [Boeing] believe they have this under control, although I think there is a fundamental safety issue with the architecture of a pack with large cells," said Musk. "It is much harder to maintain an even temperature in a large cell, as the distance from the center of the cell to the edge is much greater, which increases the risk of thermal runaway."
In a recent report by
The New York Times
, it was discovered that Boeing knew about the battery fire issues in the 787 before this month's problems occurred, which grounded the jets in the U.S., Japan and India.
The report said that Japanese airline All Nippon Airways (ANA) replaced 10 787 batteries from May to December of 2012. Reasons included an unexpectedly low charge in the main battery, batteries that failed to start normally and one battery showing an error reading.
Japan Airline (JAL) also had "several cases" where it had to replace the 787's batteries before the issues that occurred this month, but it didn't disclose an exact number.
The airlines said they reported the incidents' to Boeing, but Boeing felt they didn't need to alert safety regulators because it was not considered a safety issue, but rather "within the scope of regular maintenance" carried out by airline crews.
It was also recently discovered that the Japanese government
loosened safety regulations for the 787 Dreamliner
back in 2008 in an effort to speed up the aircraft's deployment within the country.
"What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders." -- Michael Dell, after being asked what to do with Apple Computer in 1997

Audie Award Winner, Personal Development, 2013
Author Benjamin Hoff shows that the philosophy of Winnie-the-Pooh is amazingly consistent with the principles of Taoism and demonstrates how you can use these principles in your daily life.
Is there such thing as a Western Taoist? Benjamin Hoff says there is, and this Taoist's favorite food is honey. Through brilliant and witty dialogue with the beloved Pooh-bear and his companions, the author of this smash bestseller explains with ease and aplomb that rather than being a distant and mysterious concept, Taoism is as near and practical to us as our morning breakfast bowl. Romp through the enchanting world of Winnie-the-Pooh while soaking up invaluable lessons on simplicity and natural living.
While Eeyore frets and Piglet hesitates and Rabbit calculates and Owl pontificates, Pooh just is. And that's the clue to the secret wisdom of the Taoists.
The Tao of Pooh is an international bestseller and the first Taoist-authored book in history to appear on bestseller lists, it remained on The New York Times' bestseller list for 49 weeks.
©1982 Benjamin Hoff (P)2012 Tantor
"A True Must Read"
It's so simple and easy to follow.
It's easy to relate to my own life and life experiences.
The owl not being able to solve a problem that Piglet was able to solve.
Great narrator - made the experience truly engaging.
"Simply Pooh"
Yes. It makes your realise that life is a lot less complicated then we are lead to think.
His understanding of the message the writer was putting across.
When I read this many years ago it changed something inside me. I have recommended it to many over the years. Re-visiting this book, while not with the original spark, was a wonderful and necessary part of my journey. Anyone who is drawn to self exploration and growth needs to read this.
"For the whole Family"
My 2-1/2 year old requested the Tao of Pooh when we got in the car the other day.
Relevance to my life.
The vinegar tasters is my favorite part of this book.
something derived from the 3rd vinegar taster
When is the Te of Piglet coming to audio? This is a standard book I keep on my phone. I plan to listen to it once a year.
"I love this little book"
It points the way to understanding Tao wisdom in simple understandable language. The audio book replaced the tattered paper back copy that I read years ago and have kept in my library. It is a delighful little story that opened my eyes to how much we are manipulated and misdirected by pretense and nonsense. Take the journey and become more enlightened. Read and re-read this little gem and other Taoist works until what is written is clearly understood. Pooh will thank you for it.
Simplicity and clarity
I did just that.
A great audio production!
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
This is a wonderful little book. I have a hard copy but with Simon Vance doing the narrating and being on sale, I could not resist the audio version. This may not be a book for everyone. Taoism is probably a rather arcane subject for the uninitiated. For those who have delved its depths or even those who have not but have an interest in the subject, this is a great little primer. The book is simple and deep at the same time (yin and yang). It is both serious and humorous. The narration is impeccable.
If you are interested in further reading on the subject, for the original Tao Te Ching, I would highly recommend the translation by Stephen Mitchell who is also the narrator and available on Audible.
I loved how whimsical it was
I liked the part with Owl, and how academics insist on naming things that sometimes should be left alone
Gen-Xer, software engineer, and lifelong avid reader. Soft spots for sci-fi, fantasy, and history, but I'll read anything good.
"Wisdom in a bear of very little brain"
In this short book, Pooh, The Uncarved Block, illustrates the wisdom of Taoist teachings. While other characters in the Hundred Acre Wood cling to faulty knowledge or pursue goals of little value, the simple, humble Pooh goes with the flow and finds contentment. Rather than pompously search his mind for answers, like Owl, or try to seize control of the situation, like Rabbit, or fail to account for his limitations, like Tigger, Pooh just exists in the moment he's in and lets the answers come to him. Thus, he exemplifies the concept of pu, living life open to experience, while not being burdened by unnecessary abstractions or desires.
Benjamin Hoff writes in whimsical way, imagining himself having conversations with Pooh, Piglet, and others as he works on his manuscript, Pooh characteristically preferring to talk about things that are of direct interest to Pooh, such as honey. Hoff seems to assume that the reader remembers more of the plot points and humor of A.A. Milne's classic children's stories than I actually did, but I was able to get by well enough.
All in all, it's a short but instructive introduction to Taoist thinking. Hoff quotes philosopher Laozi, who might sum it up best himself: "to attain knowledge, add something every day. To attain wisdom, subtract something every day." Does all the clutter we fill our minds with help us? Or get in the way of experiencing what's real? Always a worthwhile question.
Audiobook narrator Simon Vance does a decent job, but I wish he'd given a little more character to the voices.
"Quick, Easy Listen"
The reader was very good with all of the voices of the characters
The book goes by quickly. I was done with it in about a week. Very insightful, but entertaining to listen to at the same time. The messages are conveyed well with little stories along the way using the characters from the Pooh books. I would absolutely reccomend it.
Say something about yourself!
"Something A.A. Milne would never have expected!"
I feel quite certain that A.A. Milne would be surprised to see Pooh as an inspiration for
Taoist teachings, but it was brilliant. Having grown up loving Pooh, and all things A.A. Milne, I had the prior knowledge and appreciation for Pooh and his view of the world. I knew/know very little about Taoism, but he was perfect for this introduction. I now see all these characters differently and they have allowed me to gain a basic initiation to Taoist fundamentals. I have listened to it twice already. I think I will need to buy the book.
"A fun way to learn about taoism"
I first heard of this book from my brother and was instantly intrigued years ago. When I saw it on audible I decided to try it.
I am very open to learning about different philosophies and religions and the tao of pooh was a very clever and interesting twist to doing so.
Since I didn't know anything about taosim prior to reading this I couldn't say if Hoff's explanations of taoist concepts were spot on, but from what it seems like, the Pooh stories were the perfect analogy for it.
I would recommend this to a friend.
"The Tao of Pooh"
A simple, but beautiful book, and beautifully narrated by Simon Vance. I enjoyed it as an adult, but this would also be suitable for children. This must become a timeless classic. It was a joy to listen to.
"uplifting and thought provoking."
I have listened to this book twice and am sure I will return it to again.
Seriously, my new favorite book. I don't remember falling in love with a book this way in quite a while.

LONG BEACH - The recent passing of Larry Agajanian brought tears to the eyes of his friends, but the memorial service planned in his honor should be exemplary for the number of stories and smiles people have about his warm and generous personality.
Agajanian was a standout defensive lineman at Wilson High and UCLA, a successful real estate developer, and the son of former NFL kicker Ben Agajanian. He died of natural causes Nov. 30 at the age of 66 after dealing with health issues for several years.
A celebration of his life will be held Dec. 15 at the Long Beach Yacht Club from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. It is open to the public.
The Yacht Club membership is conducting a fundraising drive in his honor, but friends and the public are invited to attend without obligation.
Agajanian didn't play high school football until his senior year at Wilson in 1963, but he played well enough to earn a scholarship to UCLA and be a three-year letterman as a defensive tackle on Tommy Prothro's early Bruin teams.
He was an eighth-round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 1968 and spent two preseasons with the Packers before retiring because of a major knee injury. He returned to Long Beach and opened his own real estate development company and was a key player in the Pine Avenue restoration project.
"He was a sweetheart," Art Levine, a Long Beach State ethics and legal studies professor and host of the "Straight Talk" television show, said Thursday. "Warm, loyal, larger than life, generous to a fault, and a man of high integrity in a field where it is rare.
"I met Larry when I moved to Long Beach more than 30 years ago, and he virtually took me in as a member of his family. You couldn't find a better friend."
"He enjoyed life so much and had hundreds of friends," said a close friend, Mark Gray. "He was a Long Beach guy and a UCLA Bruin forever. He truly liked people."
The Agajanian family has deep roots in Long Beach and the South Bay.
His father, Ben, went to San Pedro High, Compton College and the University of New Mexico, spent 20 years in professional football as a placekicker, and became one of the pre-eminent kicking instructors after his career ended.
His uncle J.C. Agajanian operated the legendary Ascot Speedway in Gardena. His daughters Lisa and Lauren were standout volleyball players at Wilson who went on to play at UCLA and Pepperdine, respectively.
"I'm a passionate Bruin, and will always be one," Agajanian told the Press-Telegram during an interview several years ago. "I never miss a Bruin football game. I have great memories from that school. I got a good education there, and had a lot of fun on Saturdays playing football."
He played during the Gary Beban era and was part of the 1966 team that upset USC behind backup quarterback Norman Dow. A year later, he played in the memorable UCLA-USC game pitting Beban against O.J. Simpson. He was named most outstanding senior in 1968.
Packers coach Vince Lombardi called him personally after he was drafted.
"He told me he liked my quickness and work ethic," Agajanian said.
He suffered a knee injury in the final preseason game as a rookie that would end his career. He tried a comeback the following year but was one of the Packers' last cuts.
"You always wonder how you would have done if you had a chance to prove yourself," Agajanian said. "I came back to Long Beach, and I remember my mom saying to me, `It's time for you to go out and get a job.' I gave up football and got into real estate."
He was a successful real estate broker for 40 years and served on the executive board of the Long Beach Association of Realtors. He was appointed by Gov. George Deukmejian to the Property Assessors Appeals Board of the State Board of Equalization.
His company was part of the original development team to revive Pine Avenue, and it successfully renovated the large bank building on Pine and First Street. A recession in the early '90s led to some reversals of fortune and he closed his company and thereafter worked for Matlow Kennedy, which was later bought by Cushman and Wakefield.
"He had a vision of Pine Avenue, and it might never have happened without him," Levine said. "His clients remained loyal through good times and bad times because he was such an honest, fair person."
He is survived by his father, Ben, sisters Lynne and Lori, brother Lewis, daughters Lisa and Lauren, son-in-law Larry, and two grandsons, Mason and Carter.

Hulopoe Bay, Lanai
- Name: Hulopoe Bay
- What: Fronting the Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay, named one of America's best beaches
- Where: Follow Manele Road south to the coast
- More Info: Toilet and picnic facilities available
The pristine beauty of Hulopoe Bay has earned Hulopoe Beach the title of America's best beach in 1997 by Dr. Stephen Leatherman (Dr. Beach). Located on Lanai's southern coast, Hulopoe Bay greets you with a stunning expanse of pearl-white sand and crystal blue waters.
Most of the year, this protected bay fronting the luxurious Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay is the best spot on the island for snorkelling and swimming. In the winter months, swimmers should avoid rough conditions. Open to the public, Hulopoe Beach Park also has a great beach park with picnic tables, barbecue grills, toilets and showers.
One of the highlights of Hulopoe Bay is its large tidal pools located at the eastern side of the bay. Carved out of volcanic rock, these tidal pools are well protected, keeping the waters calm for exploring. Tidal pools are created when rocky shores are covered and then exposed by the fluctuating tide. Small organisms adapt to this changing landscape, and many hermit crabs, sea stars, opihi (limpet) and small fish dwell here.
As a protected site, rich with marine life, visitors are asked to leave every stone and shell in its place. This helps preserve the bay for Hawaii's colourful, native fish and sea life. Acrobatic spinner dolphins can often be seen in Hulopoe Bay, while the winter months bring visits from humpback whales.
Be sure to take a 15-20 minute hike along the cliffs just southeast of the tidal pools to view the Lanai landmark Puu Pehe (Sweetheart Rock). Legend says a heartbroken warrior jumped from this 24-metre summit, rising from the sea, overcome with grief after his wife's passing.

LAKE ROESIGER — An Auburn boy pulled from Lake Roesiger Sunday has died, the seventh drowning fatality in Snohomish County this year.
Cooper W. Howat, 8, had been in the water roughly an hour before the Snohomish County sheriff's Dive Team and Marine Unit could find him.
He was taken to the hospital Sunday afternoon and died around 4 p.m., Snohomish County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.
The boy was attending a family gathering at the lake east of Snohomish. The incident was reported about 2:20 p.m. Sunday.
He reportedly was swimming from a dock to a raft about 40 feet away, Snohomish County sheriff's Lt. Rodney Rochon said.
Police were told that he attempted to climb onto the raft but was struggling. Some people on the raft saw him slip under the water, Rochon said. They initially believed he intended to swim under the raft and surface on the other side. The boy never came up.
Lake Roesiger firefighters and sheriff's divers raced to the scene. Boaters on the lake tried to locate the boy.
The sheriff's office launched its helicopter to aid in the search. The water was relatively clear and the dive team was able to find the boy without using a new underwater robot it acquired earlier this year, Ireton said.
Once on scene, divers quickly found the boy about 27 feet down. Paramedics immediately began life-saving efforts.
Sunday's incident was the second time over the weekend that a child was hospitalized after a mishap involving water.
A 3-year-old girl was unconscious when she was pulled from a swimming pool Saturday at a home in Edmonds. She was breathing by the time paramedics took her to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Because of medical privacy, the girl's condition was not immediately available on Monday.
The list of drowning victims this year includes a couple, 36 and 31, whose car went off a roadway into the Snohomish River; a fisherman, 49, at Silver Lake; a rafter, 54, near Oso; a man, 44, whose boat capsized off Tulalip Bay; and a special needs student, 20, who died in the Lake Stevens High School pool.
There also have been five reports of close calls, including three boys 13 and under, according to Safe Kids Snohomish County.
"We haven't even seen warm weather," Safe Kids Snohomish County coordinator Shawneri Guzman said.
Two children and two adults drowned in Snohomish County in 2012 when there were seven known near misses. "Drowning is silent and it can happen in less than a minute," Guzman said.
Unlike in the movies, drowning often involves little splashing or yelling because people are using so much energy just trying to keep their head above water, she said.
Guzman said adults should keep their eyes on their children the entire time they are in the water.
"We recommend staying within arms length particularly in deep water," she said.
They also should be aware of how tiring swimming and water-related activities can be. The mere act of laughing can take a lot of air and it's easy not to recognize or misjudge fatigue. "You can be an excellent swimmer and get too tired or get a leg cramp," she said.

You have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition that affects the way the heart muscle works. The heart muscle grows thicker and stiffer than normal, especially in the walls of the left ventricle and septum. This makes it hard for the heart to pump blood properly. As a result, it can be difficult to do activities that were once easy for you. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disorder, although it often doesn't show up until later in life. In some people, the condition carries a risk for sudden cardiac death. If you have any passing out spells, tell your doctor about them immediately. The condition can be managed, but there is no cure. Talk to your doctor about treatment.
A person with this condition often experiences no symptoms. But if symptoms do occur, they are most likely when you exert yourself. Symptoms may include:
Problems catching your breath
Unexplained tiredness
Lightheadedness, dizzy spells, or fainting
Rapid, pounding heartbeat
Chest tightness or pressure
Fluid retention resulting in swollen feet or ankles or unexplained weight gain
As the walls of the heart muscle thicken, it becomes more difficult for the heart to hold as much blood as possible. Thick walls may also block blood flow and damage valves. A stiff heart muscle can't relax between pumps the way it should, so less blood moves with each pump. Also, the heart may sometimes beat irregularly (too fast and out of rhythm).
Treatment can help keep cardiomyopathy from getting worse, and can reduce your symptoms. Your doctor will work with you to develop a treatment plan to help you feel better now and prevent problems in the future.
