Barking Dogs, The Ultimate Noise Pollution
04 Jan
Dogs are a man's best friend but unfortunately they can sometimes become your sleeping neighbors worst nemesis. Today, as more and more homeowners share their space with a four-legged friend or two or three, it's common to struggle with reducing their noise output and working to not to upset the neighbors next door.
Some dogs bark for a good reason like protection or to announce an intruder, and some do so for no apparent reason at all, possibly craving attention or for food. If you're a dog mom or a dog dad you may have tried the many bark training collars available, pet training classes or the use of treats and chew toy stimulus ideas to curb your dogs desire to speak up. It's important to realize that barking is a dog's means of communication and whether they're bored, hungry, scared or playful, they want to make sure you're hearing them loud and clear.
Incessant and Nuisance Barking
Sporadic communication from your dog is common and expected. Problems tend to arise in a neighborhood or city setting where constant barking is causing a nuisance at inappropriate times of the day, when people are at rest or after dark. Many cities and neighborhood associations have laws and regulations to protect against nuisance barking. Intrusive sounds like chronic barking is referred to as noise pollution and its long-term effect can actually induce extreme physical and psychological distress, irritability, headaches and irregular sleep habits. If a dog barks once or twice there is usually no harm done. But if the noise is continual, every time that dog barks your autonomic nervous system (ANS) fires up and induces your body to release hormones that tell your brain and body to either take flight or fight in the face of a threat.
Solutions for Chronically Barking Dogs
Before complaints are made, be sure to take the necessary steps to reduce your noise output. The most common purchase of Residential Acoustics sound blocking AcousticCurtains™ are to deflect noise away from a living environment, but with their duel functionality and ability to block significant noise transfer in both directions, more and more pet owners are discovering the solution to their pet's constant vocalizations. With noise traveling easiest through the windows and doors of a home, our curtains and door panels eliminate the embarrassment and stresses that chronic barking may cause to a pet-loving household by keeping the sound from exiting. If you're looking to reduce your dog's noise output while protecting your neighbors and yourself from noise backlash, our stylish, easy-to-install products can help.

Before I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency, and was attempting to use Google instead of a medical professional, I self-diagnosed as having adrenal fatigue. It very neatly checked off all of the boxes for what I was feeling and what I knew to be wrong. Of course, there still could be adrenal issues (though my bloodwork tells me my thyroid is just fine).
My self-diagnosis led to a massive change in my eating habits. I read a few books and blogs and decided to follow an adrenal fatigue diet, which is fundamentally incompatible with veganism. I've re-incorporated eggs and poultry and fish into my diet, and I've stopped referring to it as cheating when I have dairy. I've eliminated all processed sugars and refined carbohydrates like bread and pasta. I'm eating small meals/snacks every three hours.
Overall, I think I'm getting healthier, and I've continued this eating plan even after getting my vitamin D deficiency diagnosis.
But here's where I have to be careful: I can't call it a diet. I can't say "I'm following an adrenal fatigue diet" or "that food isn't ok on my diet." I have two young girls, and I'm raising them in a country full of body issues, where you're shamed if you don't fit a size zero, but you're also bombarded with ads that say things like 'real women have curves.' What's a girl to do? Starve yourself skinny and be told you aren't a real woman? Gain weight and be told you aren't pretty because you aren't model-thin? Stress over your food and measure every calorie? Workout so you're allowed to indulge in a piece of cake? Constantly worry about what you can and cannot eat?
I want my daughters to be healthy. I want them to feel good about themselves and their bodies. Will and I often preach moderation, yes you can have cookies, in moderation. Focus on healthy foods to help your mind and body grow. Sugar, yes, in moderation (especially at Grandma's house). Run and play and climb because it's fun, not because you need to work off your food.
I don't want them to hear me talk about being on a diet. I don't want them to grow up thinking that going on diets and depriving oneself is a way of life. I don't want to normalize the concept of 'dieting' as deprivation. I don't want them to look back and think 'oh, my mama was always on a diet, that's the way it should be.'
So I tell them I'm trying a new eating plan, and I'm trying different things to get myself healthier. And they ask me if things are on my eating plan. I was at the grocery store with Mellow and she held up a bag of lollipops and said "Mama? Can you have these? Are these on your eating plan?" and of course I told her they aren't on my eating plan, but they are on hers, as long as she doesn't eat too many at once.

Several variables that potentially affect phonological change were examined in a longitudinal case study of these children. Different models of intervention (multiple oppositions, minimal pairs, and naturalistic speech intelligibility training) were incorporated within different structures of treatment (vertical, horizontal, and cyclical) using a model of phonologic learning that was based on a developmental structuring of intervention. This nontraditional research paradigm is proposed as a possible bridge to link the science and practice of clinical research. Specifically, the clinical reality of providing intervention to children from their initial treatment to discharge provides a broader perspective of treatment efficacy while also serving as a foundation for future areas of more controlled investigations of specific variables. Author Notes The contributions of many individuals made this longitudinal intervention study possible. I am very grateful to the children and their families for their long-term participation in this study.

This post serves a few purposes. First, here's your "It's the End of the Year So Let's Review…" post, to go along with all the "Top 10 _______" you'll be seeing on TV and all over the internet over the next week. It's also, I suppose, a Christmas gift for loyal readers. Finally, it's the last thing I'll post in 2012. I'm headed on vacation and out of the country for a couple of weeks, so the blog will be silent unless something huuuuuge happens and somebody needs to step in. We'll get back to business in January as we start counting down to spring training.
To wrap up 2012, I'm turning to the Giants themselves (and a few others). Here's the championship season in their words. Happy holidays, everyone.
"That's one of those games that saves your sanity," Bruce Bochy after Angel Pagan's homer kept the Giants from getting swept in Cincinnati in April.
"ASG election of 'Kung Fu Panda' shows the value of a cute nickname. Surprised Giants fans didn't elect a 'ball dude,' " Mets GM Sandy Alderson on Twitter. Sandoval hit a three-run triple in the National League's victory.
"They did such a great job of representing the Giants," Bochy, on his four All-Stars.
"A 100-game suspension for taking a children's cough medicine that contains trace amounts of a prohibited substance, which is what happened here, is severe and unfair and does not reflect the intention of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," statement from Guillermo Mota's agent after Mota tested positive for Clenbuterol.
"We're pretty beat up right now. We're just sustaining blow after blow," Barry Zito, after the team lost Mota on the heels of losing Brian Wilson, Jeremy Affeldt and Pablo Sandoval to injuries.
"You see the lineup we have and I don't see any reason why we can't keep doing this," Marco Scutaro, after the Giants started crushing the ball on the road when they visited Coors Field in August.

Kano Pillars duo of Theophilus Afelokhai and Mohammed Baba Ganaru have been announced as Player and Manager of March respectively by the League Bloggers Awards (LBA).
According to LBA's announcement on Wednesday, Afelokhai and Ganaru "stood tall in their respective positions in the past month for the Kano club in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL)."
Kano Pillars' goalkeeper and captain, Afelokhai, edged teammate, Gambo Mohammed, whose influence in three out of the club's five games helped the champions claim top spot in the PFL standings at the end of March.
The ex-Buffalo custodian put in a massive shift in his team's games against Wikki Tourists, Bayelsa United, Akwa United and 3SC in March to also stave off Isah Akor (Heartland), Ichull Lordson (ABS) and Bishop Onyeudo (Gombe United), who were also in the running for the Player of March award.
Afelokhai becomes the first goalkeeper to win the LBA monthly award after he equally emerged as last season's Best Goalkeeper during the 2012 LBA in Lagos.
Ganaru, on the other hand, claimed the manager's gong for March on the back of his team's success in the first month of the 2012/13 NPFL season.
Enugu Rangers head coach, Okey Emordi proved the strongest of other contenders for the manager's award in March.
But Ganaru, who guided his men to a strong finish in March including two wins on the road at Wikki Tourists and ABS, emerge tops ahead of Emordi and Sunshine Stars head coach, Abimbola Samuel.
The LBA will present plaques to Afelokhai and Ganaru later in April.
Player: Theophilus Afelokhai (Kano Pillars)
Manager: Mohammed Baba Ganaru (Kano Pillars)

Here's one from my old-school hip-hop phase, a period that's both incredibly fascinating and a little frustrating. You may have picked up Afrika Bambaataa's stellar Looking for the Perfect Beat compilation or one of Grandmaster Flash's dozen "best ofs" and wonder where the great deep cuts or classic albums are, only to find that there really aren't any. You can't really blame them though, as much like rock n' roll in the early-60's, it was a singles game back then. Certainly the albums were there but they were often crammed with filler written by hired hands, or extended cuts of things that were already working as singles. As it turns out none of these guys really had long careers, outside of a year or two of success. Some of it was self-inflicted (see the Grandmaster Flash/Sugarhill Records saga) and some of them just got replaced (Run DMC, Beastie Boys, etc.), but the real issue was that barely anyone had a bag of tricks deep enough to fill a whole LP at once. At the end of the day even the almighty Bambaataa didn't have more than a handful of great singles.
That said, I reckon Kurtis Blow did fairly well. He released one of the first hip-hop LPs and had its first certified gold record with "The Breaks", plus he had a lot of influence on the next generation of rappers (one of whom, Nas, took "If I Ruled the World" all the way to #1). Recorded when the man was only 21 years old, Kurtis Blow is almost certainly his best LP, and one of the few early hip-hop discs that's worth listening to beyond the singles, though exactly how much is up for debate. I mean nowadays it's almost worth hearing just to hear all the lines that would probably get your ass laughed off the stage today – "Throw your hands in the air, and wave 'em like you just don't care", "You got to say 'ho' if you're ready to go", "If your name is Annie, get up off your fannie", "I make you want to catch the bugaloo flu". I mean the very first track "Rappin' Blow (Part 2)" is practically an encyclopedia of old-school rhymes, one after another.
Still, what really makes this album work is the music. While a lot of early hip-hop sounds remarkably plastic today, the music on Kurtis Blow is all performed by a very live sounding funk band that gives some dimension to the whole thing. It works so well that you wonder why more rappers didn't take this approach. It's not like this stuff is really complicated; it's mostly just uptempo jamming, some call-and-response, frequent instrumental breakdowns, and a lot of frantic drumming. With a lot of hip-hop reliant on canned beats and digital sampling, it's awesome to hear a band just go at it like this; maybe it's the constant crowd noise, maybe it's the way the band starts and stops on a dime, maybe it's Blow careening from one line to the next, but there's some palpable energy on this record. It's the kind of album that makes me wonder if "Planet Rock" really did more harm than good, as the band is just so much fun. Outside of Kurtis himself (who is a blast), a lot of the credit should go to J.B. Moore, producer and primary writer, and Jimmy Bralower*, drummer and arranger.
Things work fine so long as the grooves keep coming. Side one is just non-stop party – the kickoff track "Rappin' Blow (Part 2)" is the second half of "Christmas Rappin'", and it's a shame they didn't put on both halves, even though they're both mostly the same, based off Larry Smith's legendary bass riff that would later become "Another One Bites the Dust". "The Breaks" follows, with its immortal guitar riff and endless wordplay; it still sounds great today, and probably always will. Then "Way Out West", another upbeat tune, not too much different than the first two tracks, but with a few more instrumental breakdowns. Side two is where you start to run into trouble. Sure, it begins well – the funky, soulful "Throughout Your Years" is probably my single favorite KB jam, and "Hard Times", another single, is fine, though this is the point where you start to wonder where the crowd went. The final two tracks fall firmly into the "bad idea" folder; "All I Want In This World (Is To Find That Girl)" is an attempt to brand Kurtis as a slowjam R&B singer, and the finale is a confounding take on BTO's "Takin' Care of Business". I wouldn't quite say they ruin the album; hell, they sound so much like parodies that they're almost endearing in a way, but it's probably best to just turn it off after "Hard Times". In Kurtis's defense, you'd stuggle to find any hip-hop LP in the early 80's that didn't have something awful on it.
So all together, Kurtis Blow is a pretty good LP, and the only one of his I'd want to listen to today. He never quite lived up to his early singles, though Duece (1981) and the EPs Tough (1982) and Party Time? (1983) all contained some good material. Later albums did garner a few hits ("8 Million Stories", "Basketball", probably "AJ Scratch" too) and he did wind up releasing about an album a year throughout the 80's, which you couldn't say for a lot of his contemporaries. One of them (1986's Kingdom Blow) even managed to get guest verses out of Bob Dylan and George Clinton, I kid you not. But hip-hop didn't really take after the funk/soul/disco/rap hybrid that characterized this album; Kurtis started to play catch-up soon after, and wound up way behind the game. I mean he's not exactly the most clever or technical rapper around, and I suspect that once Run DMC and the Fat Boys started to run things that everyone forgot about Kurtis Blow (it's hard to think of a less accurate title than that of his 1988 album, Back by Popular Demand). But Kurtis Blow still remains one of the most fun hip-hop albums around; hell, if you sub in the full version of "Rappin'" at the start and kick off "All I Want In The World (Is To Find That Girl)", you got a pretty solid disc. I realize that rappers had more important things to do – Kurtis himself touched on a lot of inner-city issues throughout his career, and hip-hop as a whole got a lot more socially conscious throughout the 80's (though this trend was kicked off by "The Message", and probably Blow's own "Hard Times"). I'm just wishing they'd held onto that sense of groove a bit longer; though his style, image, and even a lot of his specific rhymes would get co-opted repeatedly over the next couple decades, not a lot of it had the swing and soul of a tune like "The Breaks". While Kurtis Blow wasn't the first hip-hop LP (Sugarhill Gang had him beat by a full year), I reckon it's the first one that was any good.
*For what it's worth, Bralower had quite an interesting career, working with everyone from R. Kelly to Eric Clapton to Celine Dion to Ryuichi Sakamoto. For a relatively unknown drummer, he sure has kicked around a long time, and it looks like he's still plenty active today. One can only imagine the sort of royalties he's accumulated over the years.

Tom Cruise will not press charges against the man who was arrested for allegedly trespassing at his home, the actor's lawyer has said.
Australian model and reality TV star Jason Sullivan attempted to enter the star's Beverly Hills property in a drunken state and was seen by Cruise's security team.
The workers then proceeded to subdue the 41-year-old man with a taser at around 9.30pm on Sunday (October 28).
Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields told gossip website TMZ: "Tom's not a vindictive guy. The guy was drunk. He didn't have a malicious intent."
Sullivan has been living in Tom's agent Kevin Huvane's home next door and apparently got the two houses mixed up.
Police said shortly after the arrest that they believed Sullivan could have become confused about which house he was staying at due to his intoxicated state.
Cruise was not at his home on Calle Vista Drive when the incident occurred, as he is currently filming in England.

This month in the June issue of Pediatrics – the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics – there was a study published by Drs. Gartrell and Bos of the NFLLS. That's the National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study. To quote the article:
The objective of this study is to document the psychological adjustment of adolescents who were conceived through donor insemination by lesbian mothers who enrolled before these offspring were born in the largest, longest running, prospective, longitudinal study of same-sex–parented families.
The children were evaluated and rated at the ages of 10 and 17. The study is ongoing, with a 93% retention rate to date.
Current results and conclusions:
RESULTS: According to their mothers' reports, the 17-year-old daughters and sons of lesbian mothers were rated significantly higher in social, school/academic, and total competence and significantly lower in social problems, rule-breaking, aggressive, and externalizing problem behavior than their age-matched counterparts in Achenbach's normative sample of American youth. Within the lesbian family sample, no Child Behavior Checklist differences were found among adolescent offspring who were conceived by known, as-yet-unknown, and permanently unknown donors or between offspring whose mothers were still together and offspring whose mothers had separated.
CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents who have been reared in lesbian-mother families since birth demonstrate healthy psychological adjustment. These findings have implications for the clinical care of adolescents and for pediatricians who are consulted on matters that pertain to same-sex parenting. Pediatrics 2010;126:000
Reaction has been widespread and mixed. While the implications are fantastic for issues like, for example, court custody cases, not everyone thinks it's such a great thing.
From the Website "Surviving the World" (which is a fun site, by the way, worth checking out:
Colbert Nation took it a little further … as you can see here.
Well, to use my teenage daughter's verbal style, I guess all I can say is….oops. We got it wrong.

My name is Keri Powell, and I currently teach first grade in Northern Michigan. I have a BA in elementary education with a ZA endorsement. Over the years, I have found a passion for educational technology and enjoy a blended learning approach in my classroom. In my free time (how few and far between that is), I love to organize just about anything, sift through old photos, paint and repurpose furniture, read, and hang out with my family! We love to go boating, downhill skiing, and attend school/sporting events for my three children. Life is busy, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Findings indicate that carriers of the MSH5 rs707939 T allele, the MSH2 rs6544991 C allele, the MSH3 (show MSH3 Antibodies) rs6151627 and rs6151670 G alleles, and the MSH3 (show MSH3 Antibodies) rs7709909 T allele have poor toxicity tolerance to platinum-based chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer patients.
From sanger sequencing of MSH5 in 200 sporadic POI patients, we identified three heterozygous mutations . Considering the heterozygous p.D487Y carrier in the POI pedigree was fertile, the causality of the three heterozygous mutations in POI need more evidence
our data point to the existence of a functional interplay between hMSH5 and FANCJ (show BRIP1 Antibodies) in double-strand break repair induced by replication stress.
the roles of hMSH5 variants in the processes of DNA damage response and repair
Authors show that MSH5 (MutSHomolog 5) is localized into the mitochondria of germ and somatic cells.
Study has suggested a role for hMSH5 in the processing of cisplatin-induced DSBs, and silencing of hMSH5 may provide a new means to improve the therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin.
The presence of the MSH5 85F allele marks the subgroup of DRB1 (show RBM45 Antibodies)*0102 haplotypes carrying susceptibility for selective IgA (show IgA Antibodies) deficiency. MSH5 polymorphisms per se are not predisposing factors.
hMSH5 possesses a CRM1 (show XPO1 Antibodies)-dependent nuclear export signal and a nuclear localization signal that participates to its nuclear targeting.
There is an association of polymorphism C85T in MSH5 or C2531T in MLH3 (show MLH3 Antibodies) with male infertility, specifically azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia, and interaction between these MSH5 and MLH3 (show MLH3 Antibodies) polymorphisms increased the risk of developing male infertility
The different properties associated with these two hMSH5 variants underscore the potential functional diversity of the human hMSH5 gene.
These findings suggest that Msh4 (show MSH4 Antibodies)/5 heterodimers contribute to class switch recombination.
Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the co-localization of SMCY (show KDM5D Antibodies) with MSH5 (show HSPA1L Antibodies) at a specific stage of meiotic prophase progression during murine spermatogenesis.
Results reported in this study indicate that Msh5 (show HSPA1L Antibodies) does not have a role in immunoglobulin class switch recombination.
Results report a specific role for IFE-2 in a conserved temperature-sensitive meiotic process that results in an increase in MSH-5 protein levels.
This gene encodes a member of the mutS family of proteins that are involved in DNA mismatch repair and meiotic recombination. This protein is similar to a Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein that participates in segregation fidelity and crossing-over events during meiosis. This protein plays a role in promoting ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis. This protein forms hetero-oligomers with another member of this family, mutS homolog 4. Polymorphisms in this gene have been linked to various human diseases, including IgA deficiency, common variable immunodeficiency, and premature ovarian failure. Alternative splicing results multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the downstream chromosome 6 open reading frame 26 (C6orf26) gene.

All News Releases By Date
EPA Regional Offices, Tennessee and Virginia Sign Agreement to protect and restore the Clinch and Powell Rivers
Release Date: 12/21/2007
Contact Information: Dawn Harris-Young, (404) 562-8421, email@example.com
(ATLANTA – December 21, 2007) Today, EPA Regions 3 and 4, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME), announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to protect and restore the Clinch and Powell Rivers in Virginia and Tennessee.
The MOU establishes a working group for coordinating the efforts of, and enhancing communication among, the signatories to protect and restore the Clinch and Powell Rivers. These five agencies have the responsibility for administering the Clean Water Act and the corresponding state laws in Tennessee and Virginia. There are also many other governmental agencies and non-governmental environmental and conservation organizations that have demonstrated an interest in and commitment to these two rivers. It is the intent of the signatories to continue to work with such other organizations to accomplish common goals.
"Leveraging the resources of all five federal and state agencies will strengthen our efforts to preserve and restore the Clinch and Powell Rivers," said EPA Regional Administrator Jimmy Palmer. "By bridging the boundaries between our agencies and reaching out to other river stakeholders, we can better manage these critical public resources."
The Clinch and Powell Rivers originate in the mountainous terrain of southwestern Virginia and flow southwest into Tennessee, eventually flowing into the Tennessee River. The watershed historically has been home to some of the most diverse fish and mussel populations in North America, however, studies have documented declining mussel populations.
Human activities in the watershed including coal mining and processing, agriculture, urbanization and the development of transportation corridors, have impacted the rivers and their mussels and fish. Both rivers support populations of federally threatened and endangered fish and mussel species, and segments of both rivers have been designated as critical habitat some of these species.
"We're claiming these two rivers and mobilizing actions to bring back their health," said Donald S. Welsh, EPA mid-Atlantic regional director. "With increased momentum and support, we can begin to put measures in place that are protective of the rivers and effective in improving their water quality."
"The Clinch and Powell rivers form a globally significant system that demands a concerted effort to protect it," said David K. Paylor, Director of the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. "We in Virginia are pleased to see these agencies working together on such an important project."
The tasks to be accomplished under the MOU are both scientific and regulatory in nature. Further scientific research is required to determine the pollutants, diseases and habitat destruction that may be impacting aquatic life, and the best methods of treatment or prevention.
Regulatory decisions to be made include a determining whether the rivers are impaired. Further, necessary Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) may need to be developed. A TMDL is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards, and an allocation of that amount to the pollutant's sources. Appropriate permit conditions for future discharges into the rivers and appropriate restoration priorities will also be determined.
Through coordination and communication on all of these and other efforts regarding the rivers, the signatories can provide for more efficient use of resources, reduced costs and reduced time required to take appropriate action to protect and preserve the rivers.

Clean Energy Secures Another $150M, Shares Up
Thursday, August 25, 2011
Seal Beach-based Clean Energy Fuels Corp., a natural gas fueling stations developer and operator, has secured $150 million in funding from three Asian investment funds.
With the latest investment, Clean Energy has raised $300 million in the last month as it aims to provide a low-cost, low-carbon American alternative to diesel fuel.
The company develops and runs natural gas stations near airports, utility companies, universities, city yards and other places they're likely to see a lot of use.
In mid July the Business Journal reported Clean Energy received a $150 million investment from Chesapeake Energy Corp.
The investment was for some 150 liquid natural gas fueling stations at Pilot-Flying J Travel Centers across the U.S. to form what Clean Energy is calling "America's Natural Gas Highway."
The latest investments come from Springleaf Investments Pte. Ltd., a unit of Temasek Holdings Pte. Ltd.; Lionfish Investments Pte Ltd, a fund managed by Seatown Holdings International Pte. Ltd; and Greenwich Asset Holding Ltd, a unit of RRJ Capital Master Fund I L.P.
The money will be used for the construction and operation of liquefied natural gas and compressed natural gas fueling stations. The effort includes marketing, purchasing delivery trucks and hiring management and maintenance personnel, the company said.
Springleaf and Lionfish are both based in Singapore.
Temasek Holdings is one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in that country.
Under the deal, Clean Energy convertible debt, which carries an interest rate of 7.5%, is due in 2016.
The debt is convertible to Clean Energy's common stock at $15 per share.
The investment, subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be finalized this month, officials said.
Investors sent Clean Energy shares up more than 3% in late morning New York trading on news of the investment to a market value of $930 million.
Legendary oilman and corporate raider T. Boone Pickens started Clean Energy as a tiny part of his Dallas-based Mesa Petroleum in the late 1980s. He split it off in the late 1990s.

JB's muscles bulge even when he's not really flexing. It's unbelievable.
Judging by his 9,000,000 "look at my chiseled abs" gym photos, we kinda already guessed that Justin Bieber's workouts were srrrrrrssly paying off. Aside from his milli-pack midsection, Justin's got some seriously bulging biceps that LOOK MASSIVE EVEN WHEN HE'S NOT REALLY FLEXING. Just FYI, that's a skill mainly reserved for profesh body builders and The Hulk.
This stunning photo of JB (in all white -- like an angel! Or a bride...) and his muscles was captured as The Biebs took the stage at 93.3 FLZ's Jingle Ball in Tampa. Just so y'all are totally clear, one's muscles don't just start bulging out of nowhere, especially when you're just sitting pretty on a wooden stool, but JB is just that ripped. The kid ain't even trying to flex. He just does it by default. We guess it's good that Justin's staying on his fitness, though, since he just added a whopping 30 more tour dates to his already grueling schedule. #Stamina #Onhisgrind

"All roads lead to Rome", or so the saying goes... I prefer to think that perhaps not all roads are roads at all.
This one is actually a road.
This one is not, but is a cool optical illusion of one, don't you think?
This too is not a road. However, we used it as one... off roading... driving through part of the waterfall... lots of fun.
This is a penguin on a road.
Yup. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. =)

|Dylan in sonny disposition
CHER - I Threw it all away
CHER - Tonight I'll be staying here with you
CHER - Lay Baby Lay
Here are a three of tracks by Cher from an album called '3614 Jackson Highway' (1969). I loved all the Dylan covers by Sonny & Cher in their early albums together. They managed to capture that great jingly jangle sound and it is worthwhile getting hold of the album 'The Best of the Imperial Recordings 1965-1968' which contains all these early Dylan covers in their remastered form. Cher's version of 'All I really want to do' is even better than the Byrds version (in my opinion only). I remember it so well both of them being in the top 10 at the same time. Great stuff! great times!
These 3 tracks featured are all from Dylan's Nashville Skyline album and are not as well know as her earlier stuff. I think however they are worth hearing and pretty good interpretations.

Level IV Trauma Center Designation:
The trauma center at Citizens Medical Center, Inc. (CMCI) has been designated as a Level IV Trauma Center by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
"Trauma center designation is one component of a comprehensive statewide trauma system designed to get patients with life-threatening injuries to a hospital with the necessary resources, said Susan Mosier, M.D., KDHE Secretary and State Health Officer. "We congratulate CMCI for serving as a vital resource when every second matters."
Level IV trauma centers are rural hospitals whose primary role is to stabilize seriously injured patients and, if necessary, transfer them to a higher level trauma center. Hospitals that have achieved Level IV trauma center designation have demonstrated a commitment to providing optimal care for those who have been seriously injured.
Designated trauma centers must meet the essential criteria that ensure trauma care capability and institutional performance as outlined by the American College of Surgeons and endorsed by the Kansas Advisory Committee on Trauma.
There are four separate categories of designation by the Kansas Trauma Program. Each category has specific criteria that must be met by a facility seeking that level of designation. A trauma care system includes a network of hospitals providing a spectrum of care for injured patients. Trauma center destinations are based on the hospital's care capability, from the highest, Level I, to hospitals designated Level IV.
Injuries are a leading cause of death and disability in Kansas. KDHE's Trauma Program works to assure those that are injured in Kansas have access to an organized system of trauma care that offers them the best chance of recovery. "We are thrilled to receive this level of designation from KDHE. The CMCI providers and staff have worked diligently to achieve this accomplishment and we appreciate their efforts in this achievement, said Greg Unruh, CMCI CEO. "A Level IV designation will enable us to provide our community with the best care possible by using a standardized process of evidence based training. All patients will receive thorough evaluations for the best determination of care needed. The combination of the designation along with providing 24/7 surgical coverage, positions us to provide care for patients suffering from major traumatic injuries through initial care and stabilization or arrangement of transfer if needed. This is just one more step that CMCI is making to Enhance the Lives of Those We

Detailed Description
Double 45rpm LP on 180g Vinyl Mastered by Bernie Grundman! Gatefold Jacket!
Gustav Holst's The Planets for brass quintet and organ expertly performed Melanie Barney and the Buzz Ensemble. This recording is not to be missed! Excellent Performance and Sonics!
"René Laflamme's recordings on the Fidelio label have always been favorites of mine... SSI (Salon Son & Image 2009) was my first chance to hear high-resolution versions of some Fidelio recordings, played back from René's laptop feeding data via asynchronous USB to the dCS Scarlatti upsampler set to do nothing other than translate the USB datastream to AES/EBU at 96kHz to drive the dCS Elgar Plus D/A. As this has a volume control it was connected directly to a pair of Nagra VPA tube monoblocks which in turn drove the Verity Sarastro 2 speakers that Fred Kaplan reviewed for Stereophile in April. Cabling was all-Shunyata. René uses all-tube microphones and records directly to a Pyramix digital audio workstation. The sound of a transcription for brass and organ of "Mars" from Holst's The Planets was to die for on this system, one of my "best of shows."
- John Atkinson, Stereophile
New Planets discovered!
"Master recordist Rene LaFlamme of Fidelio Records marked the release of his first LP a remastering of Melanie Barney's and the Buzz Brass Ensemble's colorful recording of Holt's The Planets... the sound was, youll pardon the expression, f-king amazing: How LaFlamme manages to achieve a combination of both openness and sheer flesh-and-blood solidity in his recordings is utterly beyond me!"
- Art Dudley, www.stereophile.com, April 7, 2011
Modifying a works instrumentation is a bit like translating a text into another language: one must first understand the composers intention, then find the appropriate vocabulary. So, to create a version for brass quintet and organ of Gustav Holsts suite for large orchestra The Planets, Enrico O. Dastous needed to engage in an exercise of analysis and reflection.
At the heart of Mr. Dastous approach is his respect for the content of the original score, for its mechanics and for its architectural outline. Generally speaking, the musical material of the orchestras brass section has been redistributed within the quintet while that of the string quartet and of the woodwinds has been attributed to the organ. By doing so, the arranger has restored the orchestral dialogue among the performers and has thus avoided creating a concerto for brass. Despite the reduction of the timbral palette, Mr. Dastous has reproduced the original contrast effects by resorting to all kinds of instrumental combinations, of which those offered by the organ stops. Among the brass, the use of mutes has partly allowed them to substitute for the woodwinds, notably in Mercury. In regard to the particularity of the orchestral writing and to the use of two womens choirs in the suites last movement, Neptune, the arranger had to take more melodic liberties to recreate the original mood.
Central to Buzz musicians and organist Mélanie Barneys interpretation of The Planets is their own respect for Mr. Dastous vision of the work. Buzz, mainly known for the quality of its multidisciplinary performances and pedagogical productions, confirms with this third recording the first to devote itself to a repertory work the seriousness and the rigor of its approach as well as its intrinsic musical qualities and its artistic sensitivity.
"Fidelio's recording, made in a Montreal church, is stupendous, with subterranean bass, a seemingly unlimited dynamic range, huge soundstage, startling clarity, and a realistic recreation of Saint-Viateur d'Outremont's large, vaulted interior. The recording was made using all-analog, all-tube (Neumann) microphones, electronics, and tape recorder, and encoded onto two dead-quiet 45rpm black discs. How can you resist?"

Grammys 2012: Childish Gambino, Shaggy Take the Stage at 8th Annual Roots Jam
Newcomer Elle Varner performs Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love For You" at the House of Blues event.
Speculation ran rampant at the open-to-the-(ticketed)-public annual pre-Grammy party/concert thrown by hip-hop consortium the Roots this year, as it did at any gathering on this night: how would the chameleonic band pay tribute to the late Whitney Houston, especially on a night usually abetted with star-studded drop-ins and unexpected covers? Rumors and conjecture flew around the packed room (who'd sing "I Will Always Love You?" Adele? Goapele? Chaka Khan?) until the band hit the stage around 11:30 – and opened with no acknowledgement of the tragedy, instead entering one by one until the full band was onstage, and they could blast through "Dun," from last year's terrific "Undun."
But unlike previous years, this wasn't quickly followed by a special-guest barrage: other than soul singer Bilal dropping a bit of the chorus of "Hey God 2.0," the first half of this iteration of the Roots jam played, well, not like much of a jam at all, but rather like a typical Roots show (the band, incidentally, was nominated for a Best Traditional R&B Grammy on Sunday, for "Surrender," a collaboration with Betty Wright). As strong as the band is – and they've always been one of the most unstoppably vibrant, musically eclectic, fascinating-to-watch live acts in hip-hop – that played as something of a disappointment, given the barrage of superstars that's taken the stage with the group in previous years (former guests include everyone from Khan to Jay-Z to Cee-Lo).
PHOTOS: Grammys Best (And Worst) Moments
So, it's no surprise that the excitement level in the room rose as guest performers hit the stage, even if none of them were of a pedigree more substantial than the Roots themselves. The litany of unexpected performances started with an impressive beatbox blast from genre master Rahzel, seguing into a collaboration with 90's dancehall hitmaker Shaggy, who took the time to call-and-response with the audience during an extended set of his biggest hits: "Boombastic," "Angel," and "It Wasn't Me," playfully tossing rhymes back and forth with a pompadoured, vest-wearing hype-man who looked so throwback-y, it's as if he stepped right out of the Peach Pit After Dark.
Immediately following Shaggy's warm up, rapper Pras Michel – aka The Forgotten Fugee – emerged, reminding the audience he was once as famous as his former bandmates Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean even as a backup singer took lead on "Ready or Not" and "Killing Me Softly" – a song it appeared The Roots hadn't yet learned. That's not a knock – rather, the most impressive moment of the night came subtly via guitarist Kirk Douglas, who touched his headstock to his ear as he was searching for the right key, which he then called out to the rest of the band as they knocked, effortlessly, into the song's diva-riffic chorus.
Speaking of divas, soulstress India Arie looked nearly regal in a pulled-up head-wrap as she sang the chorus to "You Got Me," but the showstopper was newcomer Elle Varner, a mess of afro'd hair, geek-chic glasses, and belly-baring shirts who finally honored Houston with an impassioned version of her hit "Saving All My Love For You," desperately reaching for (and mostly hitting) the high notes that Houston found so effortless.
STORY: Complete Grammy Winners List
A multi-genre jam followed, with southern-rocking guitar slinger Warren Haynes and New Orleans funkiteer Trombone Shorty trading licks as newcomer rapper Childish Gambino (the nom-de-rap of comedian Donald Glover) spit a verse. And though the night ended shortly thereafter, following a rousing Roots-only performance of their biggest hit, "The Seed," without any help at all, it felt like a victory lap: a band this consistently impressive may be enhanced by their guests, but clearly they don't need them, after all.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
This costume was a lot harder than I expected it to be. I made it for Comic-Con 2007. I re-made parts of it over and over. At first, I was unhappy with the dye job and my fabric choices. I tried to fix it a couple times, but eventually I just trashed it and started over. I bought a thinner fabric and was more careful with my dyeing and cutting. The second time the dye was still bad but I liked the drape of the fabric. So, I just kept dyeing and cutting and dyeing and cutting, over and over again, until Comic-Con came and I had to wear it, lol. There are still a few flounces I'd like to remake, but there's NO WAY I'll ever be able to force myself to make another, lol. It was a little traumatic. xD I am most unhappy with the bodice, actually. I'm still not really sure how the Harry Potter costume designers were able to make such a round shape out of triangles for the bust. I tried really hard but mine still doesn't really look right, and my fabric is all puckery and poorly sewn. I *might* consider re-doing the bodice some day. I only made it a couple times (not like the skirt flounces, which I probably made about five times each). I think I've decided I like this costume. The rushed sewing and uneven flounces bother me, but overall, the dress was just incredibly difficult and I'm happy I ended up with a result as good as I did. :D

A New DIY Craft Store Opening Soon at Squaw
We love Lauren Hickey and Elsa Corrigan. Between the two of them, they've always got some sort of fun, new project in the works. A few summers ago, Elsa (who owns Mamasake) hired SmallPond (what I do when not writing Insider posts) to create the artwork for her new food truck. That sort of project is a graphic designer's wet dream.
And most recently, Lauren asked us to design the logo, website, and other graphics for her new business venture, Everything Hunky Dory, a small DIY crafts store in the Village at Squaw. Set to open in early to mid-February, the store will initially feature make-your-own candles and buttons, with a retail section that carries DIY crafts and kits.
Shannon modeling the candles and pins you'll be able to make.
There's a lot of talk about "blinging yourself" when Lauren explains the store's focus. Ultimately, it will be a place to express your individuality through custom, wearable crafts. And don't just think of it as somewhere to take your seven year-old niece the next time she visits. The store will offer projects for hipsters, youngsters, crafters, grandmas, bro-brahs, and unicorn lovers alike.
We'll keep you posted as the store gets closer to opening, or find updates on Lauren's own blog, TahoePOV. As Lauren would say, have a hunky dory day!

SAMHSA works to reduce behavioral health disparities among different population groups through programs, technical assistance, and workforce development.
Healthy People 2020 defines a health disparity as a "particular type of health difference that is closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage. Health disparities adversely affect groups of people who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group; religion; socioeconomic status; gender; age; mental health; cognitive, sensory, or physical disability; sexual orientation or gender identity; geographic location; or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion."
Significant behavioral health disparities persist in diverse communities across the United States, including:
- Racial and ethnic groups
- Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) populations
- People with disabilities
- Transition-age youth
- Young adults
Various subpopulations face elevated levels of mental and substance use disorders, and experience higher rates of suicide, poverty, domestic violence, childhood and historical trauma, as well as involvement in the foster care and criminal justice systems. Historically, these diverse populations tend to have less access to care, lower or disrupted service use, and poorer behavioral health outcomes. These disparities may be related to factors such as a lack of access to health care, the need for a diverse health care workforce, a lack of information, and the need for culturally and linguistically competent care and programs.
The Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) HHS Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities states, "the societal burden of health and health care disparities in America manifests itself in multiple and major ways. In one stark example, Murray et al. show a difference of 33 years between the longest living and shortest living groups in the U.S." Another study, The Economic Burden of Health Inequalities in the United States by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, concludes that "the combined costs of health inequalities and premature death in the United States were $1.24 trillion between 2003 and 2006."
Behavioral health disparities and their impact point to the need for an increased focus on effective prevention, treatment, and services for diverse populations.

Review of Cali's Customs – Shhh, Go Back to Sleep – 40.5 Mins
Reporter Hannah Perez gets more than she bargains for when she investigates the wrong man. He is a known slave trader and she sneaks into his apartment looking for clues not only to write the story of the year, but to also gain notoriety for putting him in jail. It turns out that he was prepared for her arrival however, and is more than happy to have some fun with her before selling her off to the next batch of eager buyers. To prepare her for the auction, he makes sure she is nice and sleepy. Strips her down to her underwear and takes some limp promo pics. He carries her around from room to room as needed and any tine she wakes up, he sends her right back to dream land. The bidding begins and as predicted, he gets a very good offer for the brunette beauty. A few more K0s before he dresses her sleeping body and binds her up, finally throwing her over his shoulder to make the delivery. *** For a similar Male/Female Limp Play Scenario, Check Out FIGHTING SLEEP with Cali Logan and Lance
Fastest 40+ minute vid I've seen in a while, which means I was having too much fun watching this. This one definitely reminds me of FIGHTING SLEEP, which was amazing as well. It follows the same general idea, lots of awesome limp play, several KOs, strip down to bra and panties, a little light bondage, and redress, carry away ending. This is definitely a case of "if it isn't broken, don't fix it", because it was a great idea then and it's a great idea now. Plus this one may follow the same idea, but it's a completely different video. Hannah is absolutely perfect, she's super limp and ragdolled for most of the vid, she freaked out and tries to get away, or begs for mercy when she's awake, she sells the KOs with great struggling and nice eyerolling, especially during the belly punching KO, which it was also nice to get a few "overkill" punches after Hannah was clearly out, you couldn't ask for a better performance. The Slave trader is also perfect, didn't talk too much, he's cold and merciless, yet still having his fun with his new toy and he's strong enough to control and toss Hannah around effortlessly. A fantastic sleepy, damsel in distress, sexy limp play vid that should not be missed.
Overall Score: 9.9/10

In Little Ossies we have been wondering how Santa can visit our classroom, particularly as we didn't have a chimney at school. So we decided to take matters into our own hands…
We started by getting another polling booth and painting it brown.
Then we made some bricks to make our chimney and fireplace look real.
When we had finished the chimney we thought that Mrs Anderson might like it for the office, so we carefully transported it down to her room.
When Mrs Anderson came back she got a big surprise to see that her office was transformed. She had to check that Santa wasn't stuck in the chimney already.
You might need to visit the office to see if you can find the fireplace and chimney now!
