A Democracy Ahead of Its TimePosted on Jul 24, 2012
By Tara Bahrampour (Page 2) But his fatal mistake may have been his failure to accurately read the Americans. The United States did not share Britain's outrage over oil and empire, but the Eisenhower administration, which took office in 1953, viewed geopolitics through the lens of the Soviet threat. British diplomats seized upon this, painting Iran as an unstable state teetering toward communism. Mossadegh had no intention of letting this happen, but instead of reassuring the Americans, he made idle threats about asking the Soviet Union for financial help, seemingly unaware of the danger of toying with a jittery superpower. "He was not a dictator in the sense of a tyrant lusting after power," Bellaigue writes, "but he shared the dictator's sense of his own indispensability." The Anglo-American coup against Mossadegh later that year was a chaotic affair, marked by cinematic parades of street thugs and prostitutes who had been paid by the coup plotters, and tanks shelling Mossadegh's house as he escaped by scaling neighborhood walls. The coup reportedly cost the United States $1 million, it succeeded against improbable odds, and it blackened the Americans' reputation in Iran. "Almost overnight, the U.S. had gone from being a force for good to the Shah's accomplice in injustice and oppression," Bellaigue writes. Anger over the coup festered for the next 26 years and laid the seeds for the U.S. embassy takeover in Tehran. Along with nationalizing oil, Mossadegh had passed land reforms, introduced social security and rent control and strengthened the separation of powers. Bellaigue imagines Iran's trajectory had Mossadegh continued in power: an enlightened government that tilted toward the West in foreign affairs. "Mossadegh's Iran might have become a positive example for other countries, and the region's human development [might have] accelerated, for his dream was substantially the same as the dream that became manifest with the Arab Spring of 2011." But Mossadegh's Iran may not have been politically mature enough for his leadership. Most ordinary Iranians at the time had little education and no experience with democracy; theirs was a populace easily swayed by emotion and fearmongering, with a political elite accustomed to cronyism. Mossadegh behaved largely in a civilized manner and expected everyone else to do so. They did not. He also assumed he was untouchable; he was not. Portrayed by Bellaigue as a classic tragic hero, he let hubris stand in the way of the big picture, "unable to strike that balance, between interests and ideals, of which a true politician is made." Patriot of Persia: Muhammad Mossadegh and a Tragic Anglo-American CoupBy Christopher de Bellaigue Harper, 310 pages Iranians today, with their high levels of education, burgeoning middle class, and bitter experience with radicalism and isolationism, are in many ways better prepared than they were 60 years ago for a leader with a clear mandate who doesn't mind breaking some eggs to make a democratic omelet. They don't have one, though, so they keep those pictures of Mossadegh in their closets, ready to march their fallen hero back out to the streets anytime they get the chance.

James Spader plays a career criminal who offers to help the FBI catch other criminals.
SAN DIEGO --Everybody has secrets in NBC's fall drama The Blacklist.
In the series, Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader), a former government operative whose shadowy dealings have earned him the nickname The Concierge of Crime, turns himself in and offers to help the FBI capture a "blacklist" of criminals so shadowy that the feds don't even know about them.
It's unclear why Red has decided to turn himself in after 20 years on the run. He is helping, but he also demands to be maintained in high style as he goes about his regular business so that other fugitives don't know he is working with law enforcement.
"Is this a redemption story for him? Is he coming back to do some sort of penance since he left 20 years ago? Other times we'll think, 'Isn't this just a game he's playing or a role he's playing in order to do more bad crimes?' " executive producer Jon Eisendrath said in an interview Thursday before the series pilot was presented at Comic-Con. "Is he trying to redeem himself and be a better person or is he actually being worse than ever?"
The character also clearly relishes his knowledge and his role. "Red loves being Red," executive producer John Fox said.

Red has one caveat before cooperating. For reasons unstated, he will only speak to rookie agent Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone).
"Red has information about her that even she doesn't know matters," executive producer Jon Bokenkamp said. "The series is about secrets and identity. Within the pilot, nobody is who they appear to be."
It won't be just a one-way street between Red and Liz, however. "What are those weaknesses Liz is able to find" in him, Bokenkamp asked
The Blacklist, which begins shooting July 30 in New York, will have weekly fugitive cases tied to the ongoing mysteries of the characters.
Real-life fugitive James "Whitey" Bulger, who was captured in California and is now on trial, provided inspiration for the character, at least the criminal part, Bokenkamp said.
"What would happen if a lifetime criminal like that would start to talk?" he asked.
They were fascinated by the idea of a bad guy who knew so many secrets,"the Rosetta Stone of crime," Fox said. Red "is a guy who is brokering deals for criminals all over the globe."

This cream is outstanding! I've had a problem with dry itchy arms for years. I've used cortisone cremes to no avail. This cream has been the only product that has brought me relief. I've also used it for hemorrhoid relief and it does a fantastic job. It seems like it can be for most skin irritations. The tube last a long long time so I think the cost is worth it!

This is a fantastic buttery cream that leaves no residue nor any stickiness. I use it actually on my neck during the winter months when I need some extra moisture. It is scent-free aside from a mild plant smell which dissipates quickly. Very nourishing and protective.

I know we all rave about Jurlique's Rose and Lavender Hand Cream. But since I have my baby boy, I've gotten an even closer encounter with Jurlique's other miracle creams. And I can tell you that Baby's Barrier Cream is one of them. I clean my hands a lot, about 3-4 times within the hour (with the baby I have to be as clean as possible). This makes me reluctant to put on good hand cream because I practically finish the whole tube within a month or less. Just by chance I put on my son's barrier cream on my once very dry hands,and it soothed on the spot. 2 minutes later I can't even feel the grease anymore. And hands down the better moisturising cream than Jurlique's hand cream. For that 'barrier' reason I don't have to smoother on the cream as many times as I have to in a day. Really, try it if you do have a drier than dry hands. It does leave your hand baby soft.-But, I trully hate the tin tube...wish Jurlique put its creams in plastic tube or anything else :(

Hunter's Chicken is found across Northern Italy, with many variations. This version uses meaty bone-in chicken thighs and is full of onions, mushrooms and tomatoes. It's also delicious served over egg noodles.
Nutrition Profile: Heart Healthy High Potassium Low Sat Fat
Serves 8
Prep Time 60 min
Total Time 150 min.
Step 1
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until the onions are very soft and translucent, 2 to 4 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to a bowl; set aside. Remove the pot from the heat.
Step 2
Place flour in a shallow dish. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour. Gently shake off any excess.
Step 3
Cook the chicken in 2 batches in the Dutch oven, using 1 tablespoon oil for each batch. Cook over medium-high heat, turning once, until browned on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Step 4
Pour wine (or vermouth) into the pot and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, for 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms, tomatoes, broth, bay leaves and rosemary. Return the reserved onions to the pan. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices, making sure each piece is partially submerged. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover the pan and cook, gently stirring once or twice, until the chicken is very tender, about 1 hour.
Step 5
Meanwhile, combine cornmeal, water and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Partially cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and very creamy, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, while you finish the stew.
Step 6
Remove the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Bring the liquid in the pan to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Skim or blot any visible fat from the surface. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Return the chicken to the pan.
Step 7
Gently stir in basil. Serve the stew over the polenta.

Modigliani Inspired
I try to visit the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto as often as I can. It is so inspiring, humbling and such a privilege to experience original artwork by people whose names are written in art history books. Some exhibits stay with me and move me more than others. The Modigliani show tops my list to date. What a fascinating life he lead. You can read about it here. When I look around my house at the artwork on my walls, I see glimpses of Modigliani's work in my choices. Imagine my delight to discover a collage sheet also inspired by this talented artist. It is created by Ceremony and can be found on Etsy here. As you can see, I've been playing with some of the images.

Hello Heather,
I really love your two pieces here. The design, theme and feel are fab! I do love this style too, Modigliani had such a unique style of painting. I like his Gypsy Woman with Baby painting. I don't know for sure if that is the name, but it might be close.
It is interesting how we can be influenced by artists we resonate with. I know I am too, but I love many different styles, so, lol, I get quite the eclectic ideas!

I´m not sure, but I don´t think I´ve ever seen a Modigliani in real life - so you´ve made me jealous because I love his artwork! Did you know that there´s a film about him with Andy Garcia as Modigliani?

Assistant coach David Schilling is a part of head coach Ty Tucker's recipe for success. Schilling was recruited by Tucker in the fall of 1999 and since that time, he has proven to be a valuable asset for the Buckeyes.
"Dave has had experience coaching for 8 years now," Tucker said. "He can handle himself in any situation and is a great asset to the Buckeyes."
Schilling came to OSU after a highly-successful tenure at Kenyon College (Gambier, Ohio) where he guided the Lords to an 87-36 record over six seasons, becoming the most successful coach in the program's 97-year history.
Schilling's Kenyon squads were ranked in the Top 25 for six-consecutive years and finished among the top three in the North Coast Athletic Conference five years, including a championship in 1995. The NCAC is widely regarded as one of the premier tennis conferences in Division III.
Prior to Kenyon, Schilling served as the assistant coach for the nationally-ranked men's and women's tennis squads at Denison (Granville, Ohio). He also was an assistant coach at the College of Wooster (Ohio) for two years.
Schilling started at Denison from 1986-89, leading the Big Red to four-consecutive NCAC championships. He was nationally-ranked in singles and doubles for three-consecutive years and was named to the NCAC's 10th Anniversary All-Time men's tennis team in 1993.
He follows in his father's footsteps as a collegiate tennis coach. Schilling's father, Hayden, coaches at the College of Wooster, and has amassed over 360 wins during his 25-year tenure with the men's tennis team.
Schilling graduated from Denison in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in economics. He then received his master's degree in sports management from Ohio State in 1994.

Third act may be in store for O'Brien
Published 4:00 am, Friday, November 20, 2009
Is Conan O'Brien ready for his third act?
There's a scenario - one that might seem far-fetched now, but strange, fear-based decisions are made in the television industry all the time, so give it a few days - whereby television's suddenly forgotten man rises again.
But first he has to go down.
How, you might ask, does a guy who just got promoted to "The Tonight Show" desk go down? Isn't he going to be in that job forever?
Be patient. Follow the pattern.
For starters, no: There's nothing that guarantees O'Brien a future at "The Tonight Show" that allows his shock of red to turn gray slowly over the years. Secondly, he works for NBC, so going down is a way of life. And third, he works for NBC - remember? - so crazy unpredictability is a way of life. It's how he got Johnny Carson's chair, after all.
Five years before O'Brien took over for Jay Leno, a deal was brokered for that premature transition. The man who brokered it was Jeff Zucker, a.k.a., The Man Who Broke NBC. Since breaking the network as entertainment president, Zucker has failed upward like a spectacularly mysterious (and dangerous) comet. He's now CEO of NBC Universal, which means he oversees pretty much anything that's not a microwave. He's the one who, five years after brokering that deal so that the suddenly hot O'Brien wouldn't go to another network, had to broker another deal so that the always-hot Leno wouldn't go to another network.
This from a man who re-upped the most creative NBC entertainment president in ages, Kevin Reilly, only to broker a deal replacing him three months later with the fantastically ill-suited Ben Silverman, which immediately allowed Reilly to take his multiyear contract money and walk across the street to another network (Fox) and continue to pound the Peacock into bloody feathers.
Crazy, right?
Meanwhile, Silverman was dumped two meritless years later and replaced in July by Jeff Gaspin, whose first task was to endorse what Zucker was doing with Jay Leno at 10 p.m. You know, the whole breaking the network thing.
Which could lead to O'Brien's third act. Thank you for following the narrative flow.
Here's how it plays out: Cutting five hours of scripted programming from the NBC lineup to accommodate Leno alienates the creative community. Leno's numbers impress no one. Money saved by cheaper talk-show format is partly lost in reduced advertising rates for unimpressive Leno numbers and lost revenue on DVDs for hit dramas at 10 p.m. Unimpressive Leno ratings ultimately hurt NBC-owned stations airing their local news because they no longer have a ratings-reliable lead-in at 10 p.m. Lesser ratings combined with misplaced O'Brien at 11:30 lead to David Letterman ratings victory and embarrassment for O'Brien and further embarrassment for NBC. Reverberation of lower ratings finally reaches O'Brien's replacement, Jimmy Fallon, who lost last week to CBS' Craig Ferguson for the first time.
Now, this will all be in flux for a bit. But the trends are in, and they are not good. NBC ranks fourth in a four-network race in primetime. Leno is part of that. The damage extends to late night. And if this is allowed to continue, NBC won't just be in shambles, it will be almost worthless, theoretically. Which is funny, because NBC Universal could have its controlling interest bought by Comcast, which apparently has agreed - wait for it - to keep Zucker in charge.
How could the magician Zucker impress his bosses? By fixing his own problem and putting back the pieces of NBC. How in the world would that impact O'Brien? Well, since Leno has already said he wouldn't mind returning to 11:30 p.m. if, aw shucks, that's what NBC wants, then all that's left is figuring out how much it would cost to turn back the clock and get rid of/buy out O'Brien.
A lot, probably, but nothing compared with what the entire network could be hemorrhaging if something isn't done. And doing in O'Brien is something Zucker could do. It would be shocking and unfair, of course. O'Brien - the forgotten man in the zeitgeist between Leno and Letterman - simply can't win. His ratings are down because not all of his late night fans followed him to the early time slot and Leno's fans didn't have a need to defect. O'Brien seems less sure of himself and less funny, too. Worse, he seems less essential.
Yet he remains funnier than Leno or Fallon. Starting over, and later, at another network - one that wants and respects him - might not be such a bad thing. Fox? ABC? Who knows. Something has to give at NBC. It might sound crazy now. But NBC knows how to super-size crazy.

Saturday's late kick off at Villa Park gives Jose Mourinho and his Chelsea side the opportunity to stretch their lead at the top to at least nine points - provided Manchester City beat Hull in the day's early kick-off - with Arsenal and Liverpool both facing tough away fixtures the following day at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane respectively.
The Portuguese manager has persistently downplayed his side's chances of securing their first domestic crown since Carlo Ancelotti led them to a league and cup double in the 2009/10 season, but his admission that everything he says is mind games shows he believes his current crop have what it takes to win the Premier League. They were rampant in last week's second-half demolition of Tottenham – even if the three points came somewhat gift wrapped by the visitors – and another Saturday evening performance like last week's will leave the likes of Manuel Pellegrini, Brendan Rodgers and Arsene Wenger fretting on their own sides chances of catching them.
Fixtures have fallen kindly in recent weeks for the league leaders with City left to play catch up after a combination of FA Cup action and a postponement, allowing Chelsea to open up an intimidating lead at the top and exert some pressure on a team that has begun to look vulnerable. That said, City would usurp the Blues at the top if they win all their games in hand – the reason behind Mourinho's claims the Premier League table is 'unrealistic'.
From Aston Villa's perspective, they will be looking to finish the season as strongly as possible to provide fans at Villa Park with optimism looking ahead to next year. Although they're by no means safe from relegation, they sit comfortably six points ahead of the bottom three but perhaps more importantly, there are six other teams sandwiched in between them and the drop zone.
Paul Lambert has at times this season fallen out of favour with some parts of the Midlands fan base, largely because of their failings at home. They have won four at home all season, drawing five and losing five of the other 10. That record will not fill Pellegrini, Wenger or Rodgers with any confidence.
KICK-OFF: Saturday, 5.30pm
Chelsea (Luna OG, Ivanovic) 2-1 Aston Villa (Benteke), Premier League
Aston Villa (Benteke) 1-2 Chelsea (Lampard [2]), Premier League
Chelsea (Torres, Luiz, Ivanovic, Ramires [2], Lampard, Oscar, Hazard) 8-0 Aston Villa, Premier League
Aston Villa have the chance to win back-to-back home games for the first time since August 2011 after they beat Norwich 4-1 last time out
Chelsea have conceded just two goals in their last six away games, winning four and drawing two in the process
Frank Lampard (13) has scored more goals against Aston Villa than he has against any other opponent in Premier League history
Chelsea (14) are the only team to have collected more points from losing positions than Aston Villa (13) this term
Villa have lost their last four in a row against the Blues, and have only tasted victory once in their last eight league meetings
Aston Villa to win: 6.5
Chelsea to win: 1.53
Draw: 4.0
Boxing Day 2007 provided Aston Villa and Chelsea fans with the most entertaining encounter between these two this side of the Millennium when they drew 4-4 at Stamford Bridge. Back when Mourinho was enjoying his first stint as Blues' boss, Gareth Barry scored a late penalty to earn an incredible draw for the Villains in west London. Villa surged into a two-goal lead but after Zat Knight saw red and Andrei Shevchenko scored from the resulting penalty, the tie turned in the home side's favour. Shevchenko netted the equaliser, Alex gave Mourinho's men the lead by Martin Laursen once again levelled the match at 3-3. Ricardo Carvalho evened up the numbers with a nasty lunge that resulted in an early bath, and although Michael Ballack once again put the home side ahead, Barry's late spot-kick heroics rescued a point for the visitors.

Transportation Information
The San Diego International Airport is conveniently located approximately 14 miles away from the site of competition. Surrounding the airport are several businesses that offer rental cars. For a complete list of those businesses please click here.
Athlete Drop Off:
You are requested to have
your student-athletes dropped off at either at the North Point Kiosk (top of
the stadium level) leading athletes south on Ridge Walk to the Triton Soccer
Stadium. Should this area be closed by construction, please drop
off on the east side of the fields at the shuttle stop and pull-in at the far
end of the field adjacent to the RIMAC building.
Your staff will need to obtain a Parking Permit from the
UCSD Assistant Coach if you are in a NON-STATE VEHICLE on a WEEKDAY.
State vehicles and buses do not need parking permits. Also, parking permits are
not required on weekends. Please make sure to mark the month and day on the
parking pass, otherwise you will be ticketed and we will not be able to help
you resolve that issue. You are requested to park in the Hopkins
Parking Garage which is located just south of RIMAC Arena. It is the structure
that is marked by a blue line ending at the green marker labeled "B" on the map
included above.
Vehicles over 7'2" will need to find parking alongside the arena, as the Hopkins parking structure will not be able to accommodate oversized vehicles. If you have specific questions concerning team parking once you have arrived on campus, please contact the UCSD Assistant Coach. If you have any questions or concerns prior to the day of your event, please feel free to contact our office front desk at (858) 534-4211.
The UCSD campus is currently undergoing quite a bit of construction that has required several parking lot closures. It is very probable that parking will be limited, especially during times when academic classes are in session.
It is suggested that your visitors try to get here early in order to find parking in the Hopkins parking structure. *NOTE: If visitors are accompanying children or fans who may have trouble walking the long distance from the parking structure to the field, we suggest these individuals be dropped off at the North Point Drive visitor kiosk (northwest of the field and top of the stadium level). While traveling south on John J Hopkins Drive (as indicated on the map above). We suggest that visitors bypass this first entrance and go RIGHT on Voigt Drive, bringing them to the top entrance along the south side of the structure. From anywhere in the Hopkins parking structure, guests will be able to find the parking pay stations (near the entrances and elevators). It is recommended that your visitors purchase a Visitor Permit. These V permits are available at pay stations in the parking structures (usually near each entrance and the elevators) or at the visitor information kiosk at the North Point Drive entrance (see below for specific information about the North Point Drive visitor kiosk). V permits cost $1/45 minutes, up to $8 for a full day. You can park in any V, B or S spot for the amount of time you have purchased.
Directions to the RIMAC Field from inside the parking structure are listed below:
- Take the elevator or stairs to the top floor (7th) of the parking structure (to access RIMAC Arena and RIMAC Field)
- Upon exiting the elevator, use the bridge to direct you towards Ridge Walk (as indicated on the map above), and go RIGHT
- This will bring you to RIMAC (on the right hand side)
- Continue on Ridge Walk about 200 yards past the RIMAC Annex Softball Stadium (currently under construction)
- From this point on Ridge Walk, visitors will see the Triton Soccer Stadium seating on the right hand side
Additional Parking Information: Permits are required between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. Monday through Friday. In addition to the visitor permits available in the Hopkins Parking Structure, the following options are available:
- Park in a metered parking spot ($1/ 45 min).
- Purchase a One-Day permit or One-Night permit. These permits are available at the visitor information kiosk at the North Point Drive entrance. One-Day permits are $8 and One-Night permits are $3. With a One-Day permit, you can park in any V, B or S spot all day, and in A or metered spots after 4:30 p.m. With a One-Night permit, you can park in any V, B, S or A spot after 4:30 p.m.
Weekends or overnight: Parking is free on the main UCSD campus on Saturdays and Sundays, and between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. in any A, B, S, or metered spaces. Parking is not allowed in spaces marked as follows, including on weekends:
- A permit required 7 days a week, 24 hours a day
- Disabled
- U.C. Vehicles only
- Service Yard
- Loading Zone
- Reserved

Governor honors P.K. Yonge math teacher for expertise
Published: Friday, July 5, 2013 at 6:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 5, 2013 at 6:58 p.m.
An Alachua County math teacher has been honored by the governor for her exceptional teaching.
Alicia Stephenson, who teaches eighth-grade math at P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School, joined district teachers of the year from around the state in Tallahassee last week to receive a Shine Award from Gov. Rick Scott.
"The whole two days that we were in Tallahassee, I've just never felt more honored or more special to be a teacher," Stephenson said. "They truly value what we do in the classroom with students."
Stephenson taught for six years in Georgia and two years in Alabama before coming three years ago to P.K. Yonge.
She heads the school's Math Acceleration Program, a summer program for students who need extra help with math.
Each summer, the program brings in students who are identified either by scores on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test or teacher recommendations as needing math tutoring. Teachers strengthen students' skills in the subject before doing some pre-teaching for the upcoming year's curriculum.
In addition to strengthening math skills, Stephenson said, students get to bond with their own teachers, and they feel more comfortable asking for help during the regular school year.
This year, the program served about 40 students in grades six through nine.
"It gives the students a chance to be very successful in math," Stephenson said.

Managing your man is an essential, yet under-acknowledged component to a successful, long-lasting, happy relationship. Sure, "managing" sounds harsh, but I'm not talking "man handling" your man. Think about managing as a more strategic approach- not conniving, but smart and based on your specific guy's personality, soft spots, and Achilles heel. It's about picking up on the subtleties that have huge affects, then discretely using them to your advantage. You may not even know it, but you already have a tool box full of management skills that help you get your way, or just diffuse an emotional eruption.
Not sure what I'm talking about? Management can take many forms:
The "sweet and innocent" voice, the "purr," the "hold back the tears and speak with authority" voice, you know what I am talking about. Slightly altering your tone can make all the difference when it comes to maintaining the health and happiness of your relationship.
Think about the Sex and the City episode when Charlotte noticed that, by placing her hand on her then fiancé Trey McDougal's arm he suddenly became completely agreeable (a trick she picked up by watching his meddling mother Bunny do the tactic).
Instead of saying "I want you to do this," you re-frame and say "It would make me so happy if you did this," or instead of saying "I need you to finally put that damn window in!" re-frame to say "It is so sexy when you do 'manly' stuff around the house, like putting the window in…"
This one can be a toughie, but if you look at your relationship like a bank account, sometimes you make deposits and sometimes you make withdraws, but at the end of the day both you and your partner should be about even, consider compromises as deposits. SO the concept here is that if you make a compromise by doing something he really wants to do, making sure (but not overtly so in a nagging annoying way) he is aware that you are doing this for him, then he does something for you.
In other words: do something to humor him. For example, if he is really into football, learn the basics of the game then humor him and sit and watch it one Sunday afternoon- and actually show interest.
Sounds superficial? Conniving? It's not. It's just smart. It's strategic. It's doing some serious thinking and realizing and incorporating of the things that make him happy. It's also a way to make sure that you aren't taken advantage of, that your relationship stays in balance, and that you are both happy. Men tend to be more business minded in all things. Women tend to be more heart and emotion oriented. Managing your man is merely a way to put yourself a bit more in his game. So that you can play on the same team.

How You Can Help
Gamot Cogon School is a pioneering effort that seeks to model or prototype a Steiner school in an economically poor, rural community in the Philippines. A significant number of the families sending their children to the school cannot afford to pay the necessary school fees to support the operations of the school and this amount must therefore be subsidized. In addition, the school needs to build up its facilities and infrastructure. The school is set up as a non-stock, non-profit institution and receives no government funding. The land has been donated to the school. There are approximately 2-3 hectares that are available for the use of the school. The school currently has 244 children attending classes from kindergarten to Class 12. To view an audio Slideshow about the school click here: Audio Slideshow
How You Can Help
Gamot Cogon School
Support a Student. We estimate the cost of sending a child to the school for one year at P20,000.00 (US$500 or €380)
Support a Teacher. Our teachers currently earn less than their public school counterparts and are having difficulty meeting their needs at current salary levels. We are seeking ways to increase teacher salaries which is the biggest expense for the school. To support one teacher for one year currently amounts to P156,000.00 (US$3700 or €3000). We would like to eventually raise teacher salaries to P15,000 ($350 or €280) per month to help them meet their needs.
School Art Supplies. The school sources some art supplies locally – painting paper, paint brushes etc. but we also use high quality art supplies which are sourced in Germany. These special supplies nurture the senses of the children and support the artistic curriculum of the school. A 250ml bottle of Stockmar Paint, for instance, costs the school P1200 ($28 or €23). A box of Stockmar beeswax crayons costs P350 ($8.50 or €7). We also accept used crayons, paints, colored pencils, sharpeners etc.
Music Program. The school is working to establish a comprehensive music program. To do this, we need musical instruments. Many of the children have never seen violins, violas, cellos, much less learned to play a classical instrument. The school needs to purchase a collection of instruments which can be used by the students. We estimate the cost of a China-made violin at P4000 ($95 or €75). A Clavinova (electric piano) costs P55,000 ($1300 or €1000). We estimate the cost of funding the instrumentarium at P220,000 ($5200 or €4150).
Playgrounds / Playing Fields: The school currently lacks adequate playground facilities. We need P20,000 ($475 or €375) to upgrade the kindergarten playground. The early grades needs a separate playground with swings and sandbox – estimated cost: P35,000 ($830 or €660). Upper grades playground: P40,000 ($950 or €750).
Building Program. The school currently has two urgent building projects. The first is the high school building. High school classes are temporarily being held in the grade school building and in temporary rooms. These students need access to laboratories and facilities designed around the high-school curriculum. The second urgent need is a roofing structure over our multi-purpose pavement to render it usable in inclement weather and for special events. Please contact us about the estimated costs for these major infrastructure needs.
Classroom Furniture. Each new classroom must be outfitted with desks, chairs, blackboards and cabinets. A desk and chair for one student costs P1200.00 ($30 or €25). A teacher's desk and chair costs P1500.00 ($40 or €30)
Science Equipment. The school needs science equipment for Grade 7 and 8 chemistry, Physics II and Biology. To prepare for the chemistry lessons we need to obtain glassware, Bunsen burners, safety equipment. We also need microscopes. We would welcome used equipment and/or donations for this purpose.
Woodworking Equipment. The school needs woodworking equipment to bring the fullness of the curriculum to the students. Woodcarving tools as well as various carpentry handtools are needed so that the students can learn to work safely and creatively with real tools. Used or surplus tools can be donated to the school or funds can be donated to help purchase these items.
Teacher Housing. In order to help our teachers financially, to give them a safe and decent place to live and to allow them to live closer to the school, we would like to create a teacher housing compound. We can build a small efficiency unit for one teacher using a combination of native and modern materials for P100,000.00 ($2500 or €2000). We currently have four teachers who would like to avail of housing if it could be made available.
Teacher Training. Each year the school must sponsor at least one teacher for training in Steiner Education. The cost of the 8-week intensive course is P45,000.00 ($1000 or €900). There are also in-service trainings and other opportunities for the teachers to gain knowledge and skills for their work. Donations can help support teachers in their continuing education and professional development.
Training Center
The school is part of the larger initiative of Gamot Cogon Institute that includes a biodynamic farm and live-in training center. Aside from Steiner education teacher trainings, GCI envisions offering training in sustainable agriculture, holistic medicine and health care, leadership and youth programs, among others.
We have already built one two room living quarters as a prototype for the training center. We plan to eventually have 10 two-room cottages that can host 20-40 persons for training activities.
Dormitory Cottage. The cost of building one two-room cottage with integrated bathroom is P250,000.00 ($5000 or €4000).
Training Hall. We need to construct a training hall where we can conduct training sessions.
Dining Hall. This will be the gathering and preparation place for meals. The Dining Hall can also be used by the school to bring good nutrition and hot meals to the children on a daily basis.
Water System. The water system for the whole project consists of an elevated storage tank, distribution pipelines, transmission line and pumping facilities. The wellhead, pumping facility and transmission pipeline are already in place. We need to raise an additional P250,000 ($6000 or €5000) for the remainder of this program which is becoming more urgent as the school grows.

or more accurately a walk down to the shop to pick up some milk in my new animal print tee. The only wild animals you see around these parts are in the local wildlife park and my two older kids are so spotty with chicken pox at the moment, I just might just loose them in the wildlife there.
The pattern I used for this tee is New Look 6648 and I must say, I am very impressed. I am seeing this type of tee everywhere at the moment. I finally got to use my new coverstitch machine on this one which actually slowed the process of making the tee down because I hadn't a clue what I was doing, but it was good practice. I made the view that the model is wearing and the only change I made to the pattern is, instead of gathering the band I stretched on some very narrow elastic because I was a little concerned that the gathering stitch might break because of the knit fabric. This was most successful so I think next time I will do the same thing. I am quite keen now to have a go at the other 3 views in the pattern and will make the same view again, although next time I think I will make the armhole and neck slightly smaller for practicality reasons. I really need to wear a camisole underneath because the armhole gapes a bit but it looks and feels great on.

Cancer-Causing Gene Alone Doesn't Trigger Pancreatic Cancer, Mayo-led Study Finds
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — September 7, 2012. More than a cancer-causing gene is needed to trigger pancreatic cancer, a study led by Mayo Clinic has found. A second factor creates a "perfect storm" that allows tumors to form, the researchers say. The study, published in the Sept. 10 issue of Cancer Cell, overturns the current belief that a mutation in the KRAS oncogene is enough to initiate pancreatic cancer and unrestrained cell growth.
MULTIMEDIA ALERT: Video resources, including an interview with Dr. Crawford, are available for journalists at the Mayo Clinic News Network.
The findings uncover critical clues on how pancreatic cancer develops and why few patients benefit from current therapies. The findings also provide ideas about how to improve treatment and prevention of pancreatic cancer.
The research team, led by Howard C. Crawford, Ph.D., a cancer biologist at Mayo Clinic's campus in Florida, and Jens Siveke, M.D., at Technical University in Munich, Germany, found that for pancreatic cancer to form, mutated KRAS must recruit a second player: the epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR.A third genetic participant known as Trp53 makes pancreatic tumors very difficult to treat, the study showed.
The scientists also found that EGFR was required in pancreatic cancer initiated by pancreatic inflammation known as pancreatitis.
"We believe the perfect storm needed to trigger pancreatic cancer include KRAS mutations and inflammation in the organ, which then work synergistically to turn on EGFR," says Dr. Crawford.
"The bottom line is, without EGFR, tumors don't form — and that was never known before this study," he says. "We also think that inflammation in the pancreas has a big impact on turning on EGFR."
The researchers discovered that when they blocked EGFR activity, the mice studied were protected against developing chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.
They further found that in mice that had lost expression of the TP53 tumor suppressor — a situation that mirrors up to 60 percent of human pancreatic cancer cases — tumors escape the dependency on EGFR for initiation and continued growth of pancreatic cancer, Dr. Crawford says.
Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease; no drug has been able to target the mutant KRAS protein. The study suggests some patients, such as those with chronic pancreatitis, may be good candidates for treatment with EGFR inhibitors to fight or prevent pancreatic cancer, Dr. Crawford says.
"The clinical implications of this study are exciting. It suggests that pancreatic cancer patients with normal p53 activity, as well as patients with chronic pancreatitis, may be good candidates for treatment with EGFR inhibitors," Dr. Crawford says.
The EGFR inhibitor erlotinib is part of the standard therapy for pancreatic cancer patients, but has minimal effects in the patient population as a whole, he adds. "But that may be because many of the patients likely had a mutation in the TRP53 tumor suppressor, so erlotinib would not help them, since EGFR was no longer necessary for tumor growth.
"Perhaps erlotinib or other EGFR inhibitors would work much better in patients who do not have a TRP53 mutation," he says. "We also believe this kind of drug could prevent pancreatic cancer formation in patients with chronic pancreatitis, which is a significant risk factor for development of pancreatic tumors."
"These findings give us some greatly needed clues about how pancreatic cancer develops and progresses," Dr. Crawford says. "The more we understand about these early tumors, the more we will be able to work on diagnosis and therapy."
The study was funded by the National Cancer Institute.

NYPD Sketch Artist Got It Very Wrong on Brooklyn Serial Killer
New York Police Department Commissioner Ray Kelly wants to know why President Obama is so silent on gun violence in Chicago. "Maybe the city most affected (by guns) is Chicago," Kelly said, according to the New York Daily News. "The president's hometown, but barely a peep out of him."
But Kelly has some major issues on his end to which he must own up. Stop & Frisk aside, how will the NYPD handle the fact that it released this sketch (below, right) of a suspect who killed three Brooklyn store owners, only to arrest a man who looked nothing like the Stock Photo: Black Criminal?
Samsonite … I was way off!
The man on the left is Salvatore Perrone, a door-to-door salesman who was charged as the quasi-serial killer who gunned down three Middle Eastern shopkeepers in Brooklyn. The man on the right is the … wait, what?
So how'd they catch the guy? The New York Post explains:
The killing spree started in July, when Mohamed Gebeli, 65, was found dead in his Bay Ridge clothing shop. Isaac Kadare, 59, was found shot to death in his 99-cent store in Bensonhurst just over a month later.
All three were shot with the same .22-caliber weapon, police said.
Perrone — whom cops dubbed "John Doe Duffel Bag" after the luggage he was seen toting in surveillance footage near the scene of last Friday's murder — was busted after a Bay Ridge pharmacy employee recognized him as a regular, law-enforcement sources said.
The footage marked a break in the case for investigators.
"He went to the wrong place. He stuck out on the video," a law-enforcement source said, noting Perrone was one of the few white people caught on camera.
Perrone confessed to the murders only after talking to someone he thought was a CIA agent, law-enforcement sources said.
Well, congrats to the NYPD for getting their man. But, boy(o), Ray Kelly, you've got some serious explaining to do ont his one.

Have Laptop, Will Travel
One of the best things about being a writer is our portability which can incite mobility. Long ago when I was an MFA student at Vermont College, I met a visual arts MFA student who complained about the mighty costs and problems of shipping artworks to the twice-annual residencies. We writers only had to pack our floppy disks.
Nonfiction writers aren't quite as portable as our fiction-writing cousins. Speaking for myself, my desk is littered with loose papers, file folders bulging with notes and photocopies, books piled high on said papers and stuffed into overflowing bookcases.
But the lure of mobility forced me to rethink my portability a couple of weeks ago when I flew to England to attend the twentieth anniversary retreat of the Kindling Words workshop in the Lake District. Fourteen of us spent a week at a four-star hotel, eating four-course meals each night, walking along the lake, into the woods, and up the hills (but not enough, I fear, to work off those four-course meals.) And, yes, attending workshops and writing.
Though I wasn't the only nonfiction writer there, many were tapping away on fantasy novels. As they retreated to their imaginary worlds by the fireside in the lounge, I time-travelled back to eighteenth century Revolutionary America, to meet my biography subjects. As others were drawn by guided meditations into the subconscious minds of their protagonists, I tried to do the same, but was interrupted by an annoying voice whispering, "Document your sources."
When the luxurious week was over, I took off for East Yorkshire to visit old friends, including writer Marvin Close, who live by the sea. One of the world's biggest offshore wind farms will soon arise off the Yorkshire coast, but not soon enough to be pictured in my next book, The Wind at Work, a history of wind energy. So here, instead, is a picture of the beach with dog Libby chasing a seagull.
Seven writers, headlights shining, about to descend into the subconscious of their protagonists, or was it the Honister Slate Mine?
One evening Marvin arranged an interview at the local radio station, BBC Humberside. The topic of the interview: how a children's writer from southern California came to be an obsessed fan of English football in general and Chelsea Football Club in particular. I tried to mix it up with writerly talk, but not having many people to discuss football [soccer] with at home, I was happy to talk about the sturm und drang of the current Chelsea season.
Now I'm in London for three months, thanks to my latest travel adventure: home exchanging. Sitting in a top-floor flat in Notting Hill Gate with sun streaming in on all sides -- I brought it with me from LA -- I've got several manuscripts in progress, just a few file folders of research, a couple of books, and a brand new card from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Library system. All the comforts of home!
I'm still immersed in the American Revolution, which has a whole different significance from where I sit now. And I'm on the lookout for something to research on the ground here. English football perhaps?
More anon on the joys of portability and mobility.

You made me smile with your "document your sources" remark. It will be interesting to see results for all the inner and outer excursions in the years ahead. I know you'll be pointing us in some interesting directions. Hope the weeks ahead continue to inspire!

Hmmmm....as a big Manchester United fan myself, it sounds like I should have done some of my Darwin and King George III research in England! I did get to go to the Galapagos and South America though, and I have to say that traveling to do research has to be the best perk ever when we write nonfiction, yes??

I was given a copy of The Most Beautiful Gardens in the World by Alain Le Toquin, a couple of Christmases ago. It's one of those large, coffee table books with stunning fold out pictures of gardens in locations as diverse as Italy, the United States, China and New Zealand. But the ones that drew me back were Bagh-e Shahadet and Bagh-e Fin in Iran. These were ancient gardens, dating back to Cyrus the Great who conquered this region 2,500 years ago, and incorporating architecture, planting, water-rills and shade-giving pavilions into their design – a reflection of heaven on earth.
The following May, Penelope Hobhouse, the celebrated gardener and traveller, came to Aberglasney, a garden very near my home, to give an illustrated talk based on her book, The Gardens of Persia.
From Penelope I learned that Xenophon translated the Persian pairidaeza (a combination of pairi, meaning "around" and daeza meaning "wall") into the Greek paradeisos, a term used for the Garden of Eden in Greek translation of the Bible. In modern Persian (Farsi) the word ferdous means both paradise and garden.
Life, it seemed was conspiring to point me in one direction. I had my setting; all I needed now, was a story.
Obligingly, Lucy Forrester, distraught, angry, appeared over the horizon, heading for the mountains that provide a natural boundary between the states of Ras al Hajar (HIS DESERT ROSE,) and Ramal Hamrah, in search of the man she'd married. She never gets there, instead losing her way and her heart to Sheikh Hanif al-Khatib, a man who has exiled himself from his family, his country, his life.
THE SHEIKH'S GUARDED HEART will be published in September in both the UK and the US, and in Australia in October. Email me for a "taster" first chapter at email@example.com

Wow, I'm not surprised that inspired you. Beautiful, beautiful gardens. The sort I'd want to potter around, then settle down in a shady corner with a good book and a cool drink.
I think one of my marinating lightbulbs just pinged (if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor - but as a writer I know you'll understand exactly what I mean). - 2:32 PM
- Liz Fielding said...
I understand perfectly, Kate! But is it a Medical "ping" or a "ModX" ping?
- Kate Hardy said...
Not sure if it's a ModX or a 'something I'm not supposed to be working on' ping. My non-fiction book has just shifted, too. I think this is all to do with the invasions of my office...
- Sharon J said...
Stunning! Makes me realise that I absolutely must get out in my garden and tidy it up. Roll on long balmy evenings sat outside with a glass of rose wine, a good book and candles all around.
Kate, I love 'marinating lightbulbs'. Gave me the first laugh of the day :-) - 10:50 AM

Lovely, lovely pictures,
- Danica/Dream said...
Oh WOW, Liz!! This is gorgeous. Now I am going to be SO looking forward to that book. Not that I wasn't already-you know me, can't get enough.
- Nicola Marsh said...
stunning inspirational garden pictures (and this from a person who likes admiring them but doesn't get out there too often!) - 10:45 PM
- Trish said...
I'm not a big gardener either I have to say (a whiz with window boxes though!) But this garden is just STUNNING. I can absolutely see how it would have been inspiring... Can't wait to read the book now!
- Liz Fielding said...
Golly, I get distracted for a couple of days and everyone visits! I'm so glad the gardens delight you all.
Oh, and the lily pool is significant... - 8:36 AM
- Trish said...
Starting to have blog withdrawal here Liz....
Can't we hear about the significance of the pool??? - 7:44 PM
- Liz Fielding said...
What, Trish? You want I should tell you all about that moment when Lucy Forrester plunges in... When Sheikh Hanif follows her... When he reaches out and...
Not a chance, lady --g-- - 7:35 AM

A beautiful setting.
Have never been to Iran but I hear that it's wonderful. - 3:07 AM

I heard someone asking about the origin of my name. I think Khamani is a girl name because of the anems 'Emoni' and 'Amani'. Those are girl names. My mom told me it was Swahili. She told me any name with 'Mani' or 'Moni' in it was Swahili, so... yeah. It's Swahili. Also, you know Khamani Griffin??? He tole my name!!! Lol. But I have a friend named Khamani Mccowinn and she's a girl too, so... that's why I say Khamani is a girl name.

Herbal Remedies For Dengue Fever
A mosquito called Aedes aegypti, is the cause of the dreaded dengue fever. There are many herbal remedies that can be opted for to manage the symptoms like headache, body ache, fever and vomiting that causes extreme fatigue in this viral infection. The other major symptom that helps in the diagnosis of this condition is the appearance of a rash all over the body which is red and painful. The mosquito is the carrier of a virus which is primarily responsible for the fever, and for which there are no specific drugs as yet. The aim of the treatment is to bring down fever and manage dehydration so as to hasten recovery and avoid further complications. The herbs that can be used for improving symptoms and immunity in dengue fever are explored in the blog below.
Natural Treatment Options For Dengue Fever
Holy Basil – This is a herb that has many medicinal properties and has historically been used to provide relief from dengue fever. The raw leaves can be chewed or brewed into a herbal tea to obtain basil broth health benefits. The herb is also dried and powdered and one to two teaspoons of this is mixed into plain water and consumed daily. The antiseptic essential oils in the leaves help to soothe and heal the stomach and also acts as a relaxant.
Bonoset- It is a commonly available plant which has played an important role in management of dengue fever since historic times. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that it does indeed have a healing effect against the virus responsible for the infection and at the same time helps reduce inflammation. It is best consumed in the form of a tea and gives quick and effective results.
Temu kunci. - This is a native herb which is very popular in Asian countries. It has powerful anti viral properties that have been proven by many studies. It can prevent the spread of the virus as the flavonols in the herb stop the virus from multiplying in the body cells. To use, a paste of the fresh herb needs to be made which can then be diluted in sufficient water. This is to be consumed throughout the day on a regular basis.
Boesenbergia Rotunda- This herb is also known as Chinese ginger and is very commonly used in Southeast Asia. It has antioxidants that can inhibit the growth of the dengue virus. The use of the herb reduces muscular pain and nausea which causes great distress in people who suffer from this condition. A paste made with the roots is used for treatment.
- Ginger- It forms the base of Ayurvedic treatment for dengue as it reduces body pain and headache, at the same time provides relief from fatigue, by increasing energy levels. Another important benefit from the use of ginger for health is the reduction in levels of nausea. A paste is made by adding a little water to dry and powdered ginger and tiny pellets are made out of it. This is swallowed with water like other medicines.
As there are no drugs till date to cure dengue, we need more such herbal remedies to fight this dangerous disease. Nature is the best healer and all efforts should be taken to grow and sustain more such indigenous plants and herbs.

Bees swarm to sign Grella
Last Updated: 26/08/11 5:54pm
Grella: Terminates contract at Leeds
Sky Bet
Football Betting
Brentford have confirmed the signing of striker Mike Grella after he agreed to mutually terminate his contract at Leeds.
The 24-year-old American arrived in England in 2009 and signed a contract at Elland Road after a successful trial.
However, Grella only managed one league goal for the West Yorkshire club and was transfer listed earlier this year.
Mark Warburton, Brentford's sporting director told the club's official website: "We are delighted to have Mike onboard. He is a proven goalscorer and we are all looking forward to seeing him perform in a Brentford shirt.
"Mike is excited to be part of the changing scenery at Griffin Park and he will complement the striking talent we already have here in Gary Alexander and Clayton Donaldson."
Brentford have also revealed that striker Charlie MacDonald has left the club and joined MK Dons for an undisclosed fee.

Hello all,
I'm looking for the kindly help one needs when they feel that are clearly missing the obvious. I'm testing OSC use with the Lemur communicating through udpreceive, and I am sending information which Max is reading. However, I'm having problems with the content of that information.
I'm using a Fader controller on the Lemur, and everything I try produces "error: number: doesn't understand [tecxt string of the address from the Lemur Fader]." Whether I use Custom Address and edit the address, or the default, I keep producing error messages and cannot get x data correctly into Max, the text strings keep screwing up the numbers. I'm sure I'm missing some address syntax, but can't find it. Anyone know the solution to this problem?
TIA, gg
An OSC message is usually presented as a string address (such as "myfader/x") followed by a list of values. A number box will not know what to do with this address string, so you will need strip it off. I recommend using the [route] object, or CNMAT's osc-route to accomplish this.
Cheers, Andrew B.
Thanks Andrew, I had just discovered that for myself. Like I said, an obvious mistake that I kept looking at but couldn't see!
Thanks again, gg
