One Doctor's Quest To Turn The Lessons Of Nature Into InnovativeMedical Tech
Over the last decade, bioinspiration
— an approach to developing medical
technology that draws on lessons
learned in nature — has blossomed
from the fringes of science to one of
the most exciting fields in medicine.
There are few who understand thepromise of bioinspiration better thanJeffrey Karp, PhD.illustration of the famous comic bookhero. After doing a little digging, Karpwas led to research on geckos, whosefeet have tiny, hair-like pillars that allowthem to attach and detach from smoothsurfaces, much like how Spider-Manadheres to the side of buildings.The wheels started turning, andsoon Karp began researching a wayBy Meagan Parrish, Senior Reporter
Where some see porcupine
quills, Karp has envisioned a new
kind of surgical staple. Where others see sticky marine worms, Karp
has found an idea for a revolutionary kind of surgical glue. But for
Karp, it all started with Spider-Man.

This is a very sad story; you've probably heard about it. The Miss World contest is being held in Nigeria. Nigeria is largely Muslim, and various clerics have denounced the pageant on the ground that it promotes promiscuity. A local newspaper ran a responsive editorial saying "What would Muhammad think? In all honesty, he would probably have chosen a wife from among them [the contestants]." This article was the occasion for Muslim riots in which more than 50 people have been murdered so far. Here is the Associated Press story. The account is dismally familiar, as Africans once again are shooting, stabbing, and burning each other alive. Threatened with mass murder, the newspaper that wrote the offending column has apologized and begged for mercy. Here is its attempt to take back its "slander" against the Prophet. It is titled: "An Apology to All Muslims". Those readers who are familiar with the history of Communism will recognize the style of this apologia and can imagine how much good it will do. For now, it is hard to see any reason for optimism about this particular corner of Africa. Below, just for the record, is a photo of some of the contestants whose participation in the pageant precipitated the homicidal reaction detailed above.

This link is from St. Anne's Public House issue "War" (Spring 2006) where we reformed types are taken to task by one of our own for our lives lived in the constant state of fixin' to do something. (For those who are from the South, you know what I mean. For those who are latitudinally-challenged, "fixin' to do something" means you aren't actually doing it yet… it might not actually get done… but your intention is to get a roun' tuit pretty soon.) We, in the name of principles and decently-and-in-order-ism, are very particular about how to go about things like evangelism and outreach and throwing church parties not centered on the high holy days of Hallmark. But if you'll click on the link and play track four entitled "Bleed", I think it'll make you think. But will you just think about it?

Have you ever had a best friend that you couldn't imagine life without....until life happens and then you slowly realize you have NOTHING in common with them anymore, that your paths have taken you in different directions?
That was me. In high school we were inseparable our freshmen year. Then she slowly stopped coming to school. By our Senior year she had quit. I went to college. She stayed behind and worked odd jobs. I got married, had kids, got jobs and moved around a little. Thanks to the power of facebook I connected with old friends. When we became fb friends I noticed something weird. She still wanted to date guys in their late teens early 20's. Ok I understand the whole cougar thing.....but then it gets strange. She is living in a world where she tells EVERYONE she meets that she is 23. She is 7 months older than me and I am not ashamed to say I am about to turn 37.
She gets bent out of shape if someone suggests that she was born before mid 80's. Bent out of shape like name calling and deleting and blocking people. At first I could laugh about her saying she was 23. The more I think about this the more I felt guilty. Obviously there is a problem or hang up beyond the normal I don't want to get old. I worry about the day when she HAS to be older than her 20's. I know I've aged well. I know I don't act my age. But I would still rather someone look at me and say wow you look great for your age than wow you look a decade older than you are.
I have spoken to my kids about this. I tell them when you are young you want to be older and when you are older you want to be younger, but never lose sight of who you really are because that is what matters. Age really is just a number, you really are only as young as you feel. But, be authentic in who you are. Always. Getting older is not bad, its actually been fun.

Age is just a number

I may like some things that most people would associate with teenagers (coughTumblrcough), but I have no problem admitting that I'm in my thirties. Age is only a number of course, but her lying about it definitely sounds like there's a problem.ReplyDelete
doesn't she know that 30s are the new 20s? :DReplyDelete
I understand wanting to stay young and enjoy that feeling, but that is a whole other level of odd. It's just too much.ReplyDelete

Mayor Otis Norcross
Served 1867
"Born in Boston, November 2, 1811; died September 5, 1882; served as Mayor during 1867.
He was a man of firmness, who had served with distinction in the Board of Aldermen, abhorred any increase in the city indebtedness, and stood firmly against vague enterprises.
The most notable event under Mayor Norcross was the annexation of the city of Roxbury to Boston. The subject had long been under consideration; and when the Legislature granted the necessary authority, the inhabitants of the two cities voted to accept the act. In January of the following year Roxbury became a part of Boston; it had at the time 30,000 inhabitants.
Although Mayor Norcross stood for retrenchment, the extravagance which marked affairs all over the country after the Civil War could not help affecting Boston, and the city's expenditures increased to over $8,000,000 annually. The Mayor met the situation by securing a tax rate of $15.50, so that the advance in the debt was very slight."

Elingamita johnsonii (Elingamita)
Kingdom: Plantae
(Unranked): Angiosperms
(Unranked): Eudicots
(Unranked): Asterids
Order: Ericales
Family: Myrsinaceae
Genus: Elingamita
Species: Elingamita johnsonii
Common name: Elingamita
Elingamita is a genus in the Myrsinaceae family of plants. It consists of a single species, Elingamita johnsonii, a tree or shrub endemic to the Three Kings Islands approximately 55 km north of the North Island of New Zealand. The entire world population of the tree is confined to a small rocky island and two nearby islets, and thus is vulnerable to destruction by fire or other unforeseen events. Elingamita johnsonii grows as a shrub or small tree in Pohutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa) forest and coastal scrub on West Island. It also occurs on two rocky islets of the Princes Group; on one of these islets, Hinemoa Rock, it grows as an emergent canopy tree in exposed places. The relationship of Elingamita to other genera of the Myrsinaceae remains to be properly established. Discovered in 1950, Elingamita johnsonii takes its name from the steamer Elingamite, which was wrecked on West Island in 1902. The natural range is currently free of rodents, but the fruit is known to be very palatable to rats.
The distinctive red fleshy fruits of Elingamita johnsonii take a year to ripen Elingamita johnsonii is a stoutly branched tree up to 8 m tall, but usually much less than that. The bark is grey and smooth. The dark green leaves, 10 to 18 cm long and 4 to 9 cm wide, are smooth with a satin-like gloss. The leaf stems are short, about 1 cm long.
The tiny, pale yellow to pink flowers appear in terminal panicles between February and May, and sometimes also between August and November. Male flowers are yellow to yellowish-pink and the female flowers pale yellow to pink. Male and female flowers generally occur on separate trees. The attractive grape-like bunches of red fruit take a year or more to ripen. Each fruit is a globe-shaped drupe up to 20 mm in diameter which encloses a single seed. While the foliage could be mistaken for that of a Karaka tree (Corynocarpus laevigatus), the bunches of red, fleshy fruit are very distinctive and may be seen on the tree at any time of the year. The fruits are edible, the white flesh tasting like a salty apple.
Elingamita johnsonii has large, glossy, dark-green leaves. The plant is sometimes available for sale by specialist nurseries. Propagation is easy from seed although it may take a year to germinate. Seedlings are vigorous and thrive in semi-shade and prefer a fertile, free draining soil. Once they are established, plants do well in full sun. Cuttings are slow to strike. Male and female plants are required for the production of fruit to ensure that fruit is produced. In gardens, Elingamita johnsonii makes an excellent specimen tree for frost-free areas. It is highly sensitive to cold and intolerant of frost.

Whitney from Shanty 2 Chic has been a busy building bee lately. This time the build was for her youngest sister who has been in need of a bed. With the help of good ol' Pottery Barn and Ana White, Whitney built a beautiful queen-sized platform bed. Don't you just love those curvy little feet peeking out at the bottom? I can't wait to see the headboard Whitney has in store for this piece!
The design was inspired by the retired Cheswick Platform Bed from Pottery Barn.

Structural DNA Nanotechnology
Synthetic nucleic acids can now be programmed to self-assemble with high structural fidelity using Watson-Crick base-pairing. This synthetic structural biological approach offers unprecedented control over the 3D architecture and chemical composition of large-scale macromolecular assemblies that can also be interfaced with natural and synthetic molecules inside and outside of the cell. Here, we are developing strategies to enable high-throughput and high fidelity design and synthesis of structured DNA and RNA assemblies for nanoscale imaging, therapeutic delivery, vaccines, and memory storage.
Programmed Nanoscale Energy Transport
Natural photosynthetic complexes consist of highly structured geometric assemblies of chlorophyll molecules that facilitate photon adsorption and energy transfer for the production of chemical fuel. Programmed self-assembly of DNA into precise 3D architectures can now be used to organize synthetic chromophores to replicate key aspects of bacterial photosynthetic systems. In this work, we are using structure-based design algorithms to program novel energy harvesting and transfer complexes using scaffolded DNA origami. We additionally synthesize these DNA-chromophore assemblies to test their programmed function to feedback to their rational structure-based design.
Multiplexed Imaging of Neuronal Synapse Proteins and RNAs
Neuronal synapses consist of hundreds of proteins organized at the sub-micron scale that facilitate synapse plasticity and signal transmission in normal brain development and function. While genetic studies have revealed numerous variations in neuronal synapse proteins that are associated with psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, it is unclear how these genetic variations impact neuronal synapse structure and function. In this research area we are applying synthetic nucleic acids to enable highly multiplexed imaging of synaptic proteins and their transcripts to resolve their sub-cellular localization, expression levels, and molecular associations. This research area aims to characterize the impact of genetic variation on neuronal synapse structure and function in intact tissues and cultures.
Signaling Localization and Cell Shape Analysis in Migration
Cell migration is a critical process in development, wound healing, and immune response, and its pathophysiological dysregulation is a fundamental hallmark of cancer metastasis. A systems-level characterization of how cells process external cues to initiate local activation of signaling cascades that lead to particular cell shapes and motility responses will enhance our understanding of mechanisms that govern cell migration. In this work we are applying live-cell imaging and cell shape analysis to characterize dynamical aspects of cell migration that integrate measurements of spatial and temporal features of signaling pathway activities, cell shape, and migratory response under the influence of physiologically-relevant extracellular perturbations. Models of this process seek to fill two fundamental gaps within the cell migration research field: the low-throughput nature of live cell imaging used to quantify cell motility, and the limited understanding of how molecular components of signaling pathways collectively orchestrate spatiotemporal polarization in cell shape during early stages of migration.

One of our most asked questions is How to Buy Bitcoin. Bitcoin has been all the rage in the headlines thanks to freakishly meteoric rise in value. In 2017 alone, a purchase of $1,000 dollars at the beginning of the year topped an amazing $19,000 by the end of 2017. Even more disconcerting, especially to seasoned investor is that same $19,000 investment topped to less than $9,000 in the first month of 2018. Still not a bad return, but volatility like that is something many have only seen in high volatility stocks like penny stocks. Not exactly the most encouraging for the conservative investor. Regardless, Bitcoin is here to stay and here is a great primer to determine if now is the time to establish and investment.
It's important to note that Bitcoin is so very much more than just sensationalized media headlines of the price swings found in trading bitcoin. The technology used to create a Bitcoin has many more uses with ramifications that will dictate technology, currency, math, economics and social dynamics.
A shadow figure or group named Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin in 2009. The goal was to create a new currency that circumvented the existing structure of centralized banking. Even more shocking is that Satoshi Nakamoto turned the concept and technology plus all source code to the Bitcoin community in 2011 and then disappeared.
What is bitcoin?
In a nutshell, Bitcoin is a decentralized digital cryptocurrency. It's pretty amazing really, no government or other authority like the Central bank controls it. Even more amazing, it is totally anonymous. Instead of using your social security number or name, Bitcoin uses encryption keys to connect buyers and sellers. No government prints this money, it is instead "mined" by powerful computers connected via the Internet.
The "miners" maintain a huge general ledger that record every transaction that occurs. Given the nature of the digital security, these are usually supercomputers capable of handing the encryption required to completed transaction.
What determines the Bitcoin Value
Like my Father-In-Law says, "Bitcoin is worth what someone is willing sell and the other is willing to pay for it." This is very similar to the stocks you buy individually or in your 401k.
Bitcoins are finite in that only 21 million bitcoin can ever be mine. This creates the demand in that there is a limited supply. Similar to precious metals like gold, there is not real value outside of the supply and perceived value.
It's important to also note that Bitcoin is different than stocks as there is no relationship to a company's performance as you would see to a stock's price at any given time. With no government oversight controlling (some say manipulating) the supply, the value is truly open to what the market dictates.
How do I buy bitcoin?
You buy and sell Bitcoin thru what is called a digital currency exchange and it is very, very simple. We'd recommend Coinbase as they are the best established and secure of the bitcoin exchanges. Coinbase essentially converts your money (example: U.S. Dollars) into Bitcoin. Click here to visit Coinbase and learn more.
If you have a Paypal account, you can get started buying and selling Bitcoin. Using Coinbase, for example, you can use your bank (or Paypal account) to make a deposit into a virtual wallet. Once setup, you then begin exchanging traditional currency for bitcoin.
What can I do with bitcoin?
Bitcoin is literally exploding with more than 100,000 merchants accepting this as a means to purchase goods and services. Like a stock, you can sell it if it goes back up and then buy again when the price dips lower. Or you can just hang on to it. Unlike stocks, Note that there are no inherent transaction fees with bitcoin…BUT BE CAREFUL, exchanges like Coinbase typically charge a transaction fee when you buy or sell. This can be ridiculous which is why we like Coinbase as it's been the cheapest we've found.
Is Bitcoin Legal?
Yes, as long as you don't do illegal things with it. It's important to note that there is increased pushes to regulate Bitcoin under the guise of "Consumer Protection"..In reality, the governments of the world are missing taxable income and the banks are missing fees.

Signs of Labour
Labour can start very quickly or it can seem to take ages. Sometimes it can start without you realizing it. The start of the first stage is often slow and it may take a while to establish that you are actually in labour. Once you are well dilated, your contractions are longer and stronger and your labour progresses more quickly.
The first stage is usually the longest and can last anything from one hour to twenty hours, or even longer.
Obvious signs of labour
The 'show': this is the release of the mucus plug, which seals the opening of the cervix. In some women it comes out of the vagina as a single blob of pinkish jelly; in others it is a series of smaller pieces, and in others it can be reddish brown and blood tinged.
It is a sign that the cervix is beginning to stretch and soften a little, in preparation for labour. It may not mean you are actually in labour. It can be several days between the show and the start of labour proper, or just an hour or so, or anything in between.
The breaking of the waters: the amniotic sac is the bag of fluid surrounding the baby inside the uterus. When the membranes break, or rupture, the fluid escapes. It can happen as a sudden gush of liquid down your legs. More usually, though, it will start to trickle.
There may be a risk of infection to the baby if the membranes rupture and labour doesn't start within a day or so. If the baby's head is not yet engaged, or if your baby is breech, a rush of waters may bring the cord with it. The cord could then become compressed which would be risky for your baby's oxygen supply. Telephone your midwife or the hospital if your waters break.
Contractions: these are the only sure signs of labour if they gradually come closer together and last longer than 40 seconds. You should feel them getting stronger, longer and more rhythmical, too.
False alarms
Sometimes women start to have contractions and then they fade away. These can be deceptive, and make you think you are in labour. You go to hospital, only to find everything stops.
If this happens to you, you may be examined, and may be disappointed that you are not very far on in your labour; maybe your cervix doesn't show that the contractions have had any effect at all. In this situation, you may be asked if you'd prefer to go home. This is sensible, unless you live a long way from the hospital. Don't feel embarrassed, or worry. This sort of false alarm happens all the time. See our section called Braxton Hicks for more information.
Giving birth to your baby
Your midwife is crucial at this stage. She will guide you through the labour, encouraging you and helping you and your partner in the last minutes before the birth.
At this stage, contractions are helping to push your baby out. You may want to try different positions at this point and find the one that feels best for you.
What you can do
When you reach the second stage, you will probably feel a powerful urge to push. This is called bearing down. You may want to push about three times in each contraction. You may feel when the time is right to push, or your midwife will guide you.
If you have had an epidural for pain relief , you may not feel the urge to bear down as strongly, so your midwife will tell you when you should push. Some women like to hold their breath when they are pushing but it's important not to hold it for too long.
As your baby's head stretches the birth canal and the perineum (the area of skin between the vagina and the anus), you may feel a powerful burning sensation, which normally lasts only a few minutes.
You will feel your perineum stretch at this point. If there's a risk of tearing, you may be asked to stop pushing (see Episiotomy below). Instead, you may be asked to pant or push more gently to 'breathe the baby out'. If a small tear in your perineum occurs it may need to be repaired after your baby is born.
When her head can be seen completely at the vulva it is 'crowning'. This is a truly amazing moment. The midwife may encourage your partner to have a first look at your new baby.
With the next couple of contractions, your baby's head comes out. The midwife may feel for the umbilical cord to make sure it's not around her neck. Your baby's shoulders will turn so that she's sideways on, facing your leg. The rest of her body then comes out quickly and easily.
Your baby is born!
Sometimes the perineum doesn't stretch easily over the baby's head. Your midwife may suggest that she cuts the perineum to help with the birth of the baby's head. This cut is known as an 'episiotomy'. Before the procedure is performed, a local anesthetic may be injected into the muscle to reduce the discomfort or pain during the procedure.
Episiotomy is only done when necessary and is not a routine procedure so it will be discussed with you. You will need stitches after the birth.
Routine actions in the third stage
In most hospital units, the third stage is 'actively managed', which may speed up this stage of labour. However, you may choose a physiological, 'unaided' third stage.
Physiological third stage
An unaided or physiological third stage happens without an injection or cord traction and can take longer than an 'actively managed' third stage. The action of breastfeeding your baby, or simply having her lie on your chest with skin-to-skin contact, stimulates the release of the hormone oxytocin. This helps your uterus to contract and push out the placenta and the membranes. The cord is cut when it stops pulsating, often after the placenta is delivered.
You may want to discuss the third stage and whether it is actively managed or not when making your birth plan. If you have problems in the first or second stages of your labour (or with a previous birth) then a physiological third stage may not be a safe option. Discuss this with your midwife.
Sometimes complications can occur:
• Occasionally, the placenta does not detach from the uterus. When this happens, the mother needs a small operation (under anaesthetic) to remove it.
• Sometimes women will bleed severely during the third stage. This is called postpartum haemorrhage or PPH and needs to be treated immediately. Routine 'actively managed' third stage
• You may have an injection to cause the uterus to contract or shrink. This is given when the baby is being born, usually when the first shoulder is coming out. The injection will go into your thigh or buttock and the midwife will ask your permission first.
• Once your baby is born, the umbilical cord is clamped and cut.
• As the injection takes effect, it stimulates the uterus into contracting, causing the placenta to detach. At this stage, you may be able to push the placenta out. More usually, the midwife will help deliver it by putting a hand on your tummy to protect the uterus and keeping the cord taut (this is called 'cord traction').
• The placenta comes away and the blood vessels that were 'holding on' to it close off as the muscle in your uterus contracts. This prevents bleeding – although it's normal to bleed a little. You may feel the placenta slide down and out between your legs, followed by the membranes.
After the birth
You may hardly be aware of the third stage, as you will be focused on your baby. Seeing and handling your baby, and offering her your breast will stimulate hormones that help the placenta to separate. You may feel shaky due to adrenaline and the adjustments your body immediately starts to make, or you may simply be on a high. You may find it hard to pay attention to the baby if you have had a long labour. There's nothing wrong with your maternal instincts; you are simply exhausted. If this happens to you, take your time. After a rest you will be much more interested in getting to know your baby. A lot of women are very hungry and ready for tea and toast, while others want to telephone everyone and tell them the wonderful news!
Admire your new baby. Count her fingers and toes. Hold her close to your body, preferably skin to skin. Rest together in skin to skin contact. Baby may start to show signs that she wants to feed and you can then offer your breast. If you're going to breastfeed, offer your breast as soon as possible; your midwife will help you. Don't worry if your baby doesn't seem very interested. Even if she's only touching and nuzzling you, this will help her to get going with breastfeeding.
If you are unsure of whether you want to breastfeed, then decide to give it a try. You can always stop later if it is not for you, and then your baby will have received some of the benefits of breastfeeding. Starting breastfeeding later on, is much more difficult.
Small tears and grazes are often left to heal without stitches because they often heal better this way. If you need stitches or other treatments, it should be possible to continue cuddling your baby. Your midwife will help with this as much as they can.
If you have had a large tear or an episiotomy, you will probably need stitches. If you have already had an epidural, it can be topped up. If you haven't, you should be offered a local anesthetic injection.
The midwife or maternity support worker will help you to wash and freshen up before leaving the labour ward to go home or to the postnatal area.
Post-partum haemorrhage
Post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) is a complication that can occur during the third stage of labour, after a baby is born. PPH is extremely rare in the UK. Losing some blood during childbirth is considered normal. PPH is excessive bleeding from the vagina at any time after the baby's birth, up until six weeks afterwards.
There are two types of PPH, depending on when the bleeding takes place:
• primary or immediate – bleeding that occurs within 24 hours of the baby's birth
• secondary or delayed – bleeding that occurs after the first 24 hours, up to six weeks after the birth
Depending on the type of PPH, the causes include:
• contractions stopping after the baby is born (uterine atony)
• part of the placenta being left in the womb (known as 'retained placenta' or 'retained products of conception')
• infection of the membrane lining the womb (endometritis)
To help prevent PPH, you will be offered an injection of Syntocinon as your baby is being born, which stimulates contractions and helps to push the placenta out.

Ah, the Fool. It is a sweet card for me and I enjoy seeing it in any reading. It's always about new beginnigs and wonderful new starts. This fool is rather different from the Rider Waite. This card could amost be a Page, maybe a Page of Wands.
This intent fellow (young lady?) is looking backward. These family gatherings are always stressful for me. Some members of the family do not get along well and there is always a snipe or dig somewhere along the line. Have I been guilty of them? I am ashamed to say that I am. This Fool is not blindly stepping off a cliff not knowing what will happen next. This Fool Is dressed and ready to roll. Warm jacket, spiffy hat, a budding wand and a lovely flower. He can clearly see the past and is quite focused on it. Protected against the elements with a warm jacket. (we'll be picnicing at a campground, early evening, and it will be cool) A head covering to protect my mind from snipes and snips. Ignore it, let the nonscense just roll off. The budding wand, only allow my actions to produce fruit. And the white flower is a gift of peace and restoration. The Fool looks behind but looks at it through new fresh eyes, forgiving, bearing gifts of peace, but all the while protecting against the elements.
Ah Fool
Ah Peace

Tue 17 Aug 2010 in 45,-122:
On McGuire Island SE of Goverment Island in the Columbia River
I had long given up on even trying for this hash when in the middle of the day I found that I had to go into Portland for an errand. So, I printed out a Google Maps page, and headed out.
How did it turn out?
Let's see. A hashpoint on an island in the middle of the Columbia by someone without a boat. How do you think this was going to turn out?
So, the first thing I did was to call the Oregon Parks department to find out info. The islands didn't appear to be part of the nearby Government Island Recreation area, but I figured the department might know about them.
They thought it were called McGuire Island and accessing them was fine. (Assuming you have a way to get there.... :-) )
So, with my Google maps sheet in hand, I headed to Portland, taking a break to program the GPS. But first I needed to head to the "Hillsboro Tuesday Marketplace" for blueberries. As I walked to the market, I started to program the GPS. I got to the last digit of the coordinates when the screen faded.
Oops - dead batteries. I guess I'll program it when I get back to the car.
A half hour later, I dig the spare pair of batteries out of the camera box. The GPS turns on, but shows very low batteries. Great. That's two sets of dead batteries. Finally, I pull the batteries from the camera which seem to be fully charged and bring the GPS to life.
I switch batteries to the Camera for a picture or so when I'm on the way, then return them to the GPS.
I head into Portland, handle my errand, and continue on (in the gloom) to the Columbia. It's dark by the time I get there. I drive by the hashpoint at a distance of about 0.33 miles or so, take some pictures that mostly prove hopeless, and head homeward.
- MNB? Not really
- Kingdom for a boat? Wasn't unexpected...

Emmanuel Tetteh, President of the Ghana Judo Federation (GJA) has bemoaned the late arrival of uniforms for his team, at the 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.
The late arrival of the uniforms compelled the federation to borrow uniforms for the Judokas to compete.
Tetteh, whose accreditation was revoked by the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) but later restored, said the uniforms arrived Wednesday, July 30, four days before the close of the Games.
He said the uniforms arrived at a time, Judo had completed their participation in the competition adding that the absence of the uniforms affected their performance in the event.
According to Tetteh, they were compelled to borrow uniforms for the Judokas to compete in the Games, adding that, the uniforms were even without Ghana flags.
Tetteh, said the situation led to the disqualification of some of the Judokas because they were not properly inscribed.
The GJA president said, but for the absence of the uniforms they could have done better.
Judo was one of the disciplines that fetched one of Ghana's two medals in the competition.
Razak Abugiri, who also competed in a borrowed uniform in the 60kg category, won a bronze medal in the competition for Ghana.
Further checks by the GNA Sports reveals that, apart from Emmanuel Nartey, a member of the British Army, who competed with uniforms from his sponsors, Alex Amoako 66kg, Dominic Agudoo 60kg, Abubakari Alhassan 81kg and Raymond Normeshie – 100kg all competed in borrowed uniforms.
Tetteh said there was the need for things to be done properly in future because arrangements for the Games were not in order. GNA

text: Hey Andrey, I've spent well over a decade dealing with licensing issues. One thing that I've learned is that licensing is a personal choice and decision, and it is nearly impossible to alter somebody's philosophy. I find people fall into the GPL camp ("free software"), or the Apache/BSD camp ("permissive / open source"), so I always recommend GPLv3 or ALv2. (I find people choosing weak reciprocal licenses like LGPL, EPL, MPL, CDDL, etc should make up their mind and go to GPL or AL) In any case... license choice and arguments for one over the other is best left to personal email, rather than a public mailing list like riak-users. Changing minds doesn't happen on a mailing list :-) Cheers, -g On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 05:24, Andrey V.

Well, this blog has been dormant for a while now, sorry about that folks, guess I let life get in the way of blogging, lol...can't say it won't happen again, but I will try to update the site more in the future.
As some of you know I was planning a big road trip this summer, it was going to be awesome, but two weeks before we were going to head out, my Transition Covert broke...not a happy camper. So as I try to get warranty for it I realize that I will not have my bike back in time for vacation....so I take the kids and go have a little family reunion up in Nakusp....it was AMAZING. I got to connect with my old and new family and really loved it up there (If any of you know of any IT jobs up there...lemme know). My dad and his new wife have a few cabins on the Arrow Lakes that they rent out, if you are heading up to that area I would check them out, very nice. The name of the place is Rock Island Resort and they over look the lake, there is a nice area to swim and the ospreys and eagles will put on a show for you.
Being up there w/out a bike was hard, so many good places to ride, but now I know more about the area and will be better prepared for what I hope will be next years trip.
So back to the bike, turns out that the Covert (Transitions all mountain bike) is not meant for big guys like me and I was told that I was riding too aggressively and that I will just break another bike. Now...anyone that has ever ridden with me knows that I am a bit of a wussy on the bike...I don't do drops or jumps that much and really try to keep the tires on the ground, so I call BS on that. If you look where the break happen it looks like an issue with welding or design to me...but Transition says it was not a defect...whatever.
The reason I bought the Covert is I wanted something lighter...more pedalable and a bike that was more my size, my Dirtbag was a great bike but was just too small, and the Covert was the only bike in the Transition lineup that is offered in the larger sizes. So when it came time to warranty, they wanted to get me on a Preston FR...great bike but too small for me, but it was really my only option. So Mike and the boys sent it off to me...god it was sexy and I did not have too many issues selling it..thank god. The issue is I still owed my bike pusher a fair chunk of change for the Covert...so the money from the sale of the Preston...went towards that debt, which left me w/out a bike for a lot of the summer. We struck up a mutually beneficial deal (he had an old Norco frame sitting around and I had on old computer sitting around)and I am not the proud owner of a Norco Sasquatch, or as I like to call it the Samsquanch.
That about brings us up to date...I have been out riding the Samsquanch hard and getting back into shape...going to the gym now that the days are shorter and even trying yoga...so far so good.
I hope to see ya'll out on the trails and hope that fall riding is treating you as well as it is me...but I gotta run, the trails are calling my name.

Clyfford Still Museum Exhibition Recreates Exhibition Staged in 1959 in New York
Modern Masters: 20th Century Icons from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery celebrates the era of modern art, the roughly 100-year period of artistic revolution, based mostly in western Europe and the United States, which began around 1870. The story of the exhibition, which opens March 2, is told exclusively through examples from the superlative collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York.
When the Albright-Knox Art Gallery made the decision to tour masterworks from their collection, it made obvious sense—given Still's deep involvement with that institution—for the Clyfford Still Museum (CSM) to get involved. DAM and CSM had been looking for new opportunities for collaboration and to explore a joint-ticketing arrangement, so this exhibition has launched that occasion as well.
Given the richness of CSM's collections, we knew it would be possible (and hopefully enlightening) to recreate key exhibitions in Still's career, so in conjunction with Modern Masters we are recreating Still's seminal one-person exhibition at the Albright-Knox. 1959: The Albright-Knox Art Gallery Exhibition Recreated, on view February 14-June 15, was important for a number of reasons. It was among the largest of Still's career and the first exhibition since he effectively broke ties with the art world in 1951. Included among the 72 paintings in that exhibition were then-little-known works made during the 1930s as well as major paintings made in New York (but never shown) during the 1950s, such as PH-48 included in Modern Masters. This exhibition bolstered Still's relationship with the Albright-Knox, which culminated in Still's gift of 31 paintings to that institution in 1964.They presented another Still exhibition in 1966, this time celebrating the works included in the gift.
The CSM exhibition will include selections from the original exhibition that are now in the Clyfford Still Museum collection along with materials from the Clyfford Still Museum Archives. Extensive exhibition enhancements also will be featured in CSM's Boettcher Foundation Education Gallery, including an audio recording of Still reading his catalog introduction to the 1959 exhibition and an interactive that allows visitors to walk "virtually" through the original Albright installation. A new "story viewer" (our short video segments accessible in the museum) has also been produced for this exhibition.
It's worth noting that virtually every important artist associated with abstract expressionism—Arshile Gorky, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Philip Guston, and Still himself—is represented by a major masterpiece in the Modern Masters exhibition, thus providing an unparalleled context for the art of Clyfford Still.
Your Modern Masters ticket includes admission to the Clyfford Still Museum, through June 15, 2014. Same-day attendance is not required, but you will need your ticket. For more information about 1959, visit www.clyffordstillmuseum.org.

Moncton had taken a 2-1 lead in the 15th minute of the third period. Barberio hasn't registered a point in 7 games. Game 4 is Wednesday in Rimouski.

WHL Playoffs – Conference Semi-Finals
Tri-City Americans 2 @ Kelowna Rockets 7
Tri-City leads Best of 7 series 2-1
C Mitch Fadden, TC: 0-1-1, +1, 2 PIM (slashing)
Playoff totals: 8 GP, 2-12-14, +6, 4 PIM
Season totals: 63 GP, 37-39-76, +24, 49 PIM
A big win for Kelowna, and they came out flying to get it. The Rockets scored the game's first 5 goals, paced by Jamie Benn's (Dallas) 1 goal and 4 point night. Tyson Barrie had two assists for Kelowna. Fadden extended his points streak to 7 games. Chet Pickard allowed 5 goals on 23 shots and was pulled. TC was without the hero for Games 1 and 2, Taylor Procyshen (undrafted - injured), as well as three other regulars, including Fadden's linemate, Jason Reese (undrafted - injured). Game 4 is Wednesday in Kelowna.
Vancouver Giants 2 @ Spokane Chiefs 5
Vancouver leads Best of 7 series 2-1
G Dustin Tokarski, SPO: Win, 16 saves on 18 shots, 1 assist, *Third Star*
Playoff totals: 8 GP, 5-3-0, 2.13 GAA, .931 sv%, 1 assist
Season totals: 54 GP, 34-18-0-2, 1.97 GAA, .937 sv%, 7 shutouts
C James Wright, VAN: 0-0-0, -1, 0 PIM
Playoff totals: 7 GP, 1-4-5, +3, 4 PIM
Season totals: 71 GP, 21-26-47, +26, 54 PIM
This was quite a turnaround for Spokane, who was badly outshot in Games 1 and 2 in Vancouver. They limited the Giants to just 18 shots Tuesday night (2 in the third period), while managing 27 of their own. Tokarski reportedly made a huge save on a goalmouth scramble just before Drayson Bowman (Hurricanes) scored the eventual game winner. Tokarski, who has been a game star in each Chief playoff win so far, also earned a secondary assist on the game tying goal. Wright was kept off scoresheet for just the second game of his 2009 playoffs. The Giants held a 2-1 lead after one period. To say that this game was huge for Spokane is an understatement. The beat Vancouver for the first time all season and were able to start the climb back into the series. Game 4 is Wednesday in Spokane.

I began the Kids of Hate and Love photo series way back in 2009 at a pivotal time in my life. After spending ten years of my life focusing on nothing but skateboarding, beginning my love affair with photography stirred a mix of emotions for me. Photography was new and exciting, but since the age of 12 I feared anything that would interfere with my ambitions as a skateboarder. For so much of my childhood, I simply knew that I was going to be involved in skating for my whole life and hoped that I could push myself hard enough to make it my profession. As a way to navigate these feelings, my first long term photo project was Kids of Hate and Love, an in-depth exploration into skateboarding culture and for me an examination of how the culture had shaped me as a person. After over five years of working on the project, I started to notice that a lot of my friends were starting to lose the intensity that drove them to push their own boundaries in skating. I realized that they were being pulled in other directions as I was when I got into photography, and were probably dealing with the same internal conflicts. Some had kids, or balanced other hobbies or studies along with skating. Many of them simply had to work more as they grew up and took on more adult responsibilities. The cost of living is high after all. What cost could be higher than the cost of a dream.
Kids of Hate and Love Chapter II takes a look at the current lives of some of the same long time friends that I have photographed over the years for Kids of Hate and Love. Most of them still skate regularly as well as living these parallel lives outside of skating.

Seven Summer Tea Trekkin' Tips

I have done some minor road trips in my time and have tried to maintain my tea snobbery while on the go. These are – by no means – rules that are set in stone. People have their own ways of coping with cuppas while trekkin'. The following techniques (if you can even call them that) are ways I've found to make a decent cup while knee-deep in vagabond splendor.

As many people in Bolivia, I disagree with the MAS constitutional draft because it was brought to life ilegally. It will still be a draft as long as a plebiscite does not confirm it. But it was sanctioned out of its legal matrix, Sucre, and in a venue totally unfit for a country that has suffered the atrocities of military dictatorships__ in a military academy. Adding offense to the wound, the government assembly members vanished at down Nov. 24 as though aware of having committed something illegal. They reconvened in Oruro where, assisted by colleagues who acted like orchestra directors, they passed the draft in one single night (over 400 articles). Besides, it happened without calling members within agreed notice and without distributing the text to discuss and approve. Conclusion: False and tortuous the beginning, false and tortuous the end.
This should be known by those who believe the Bolivian process has been pristine.
A constitution is a pact that a whole country subscribes to rule itself. In this game there should not be majorities imposing their will over a minority. Assumingly it was not a war (or was it?). Besides, the six percentage points of Mr. Morales and his party victory two years ago (53.7% vs. 47.3%) might have well have vanished by now.
MAS CPE included not a single article from opposing forces. It was all plainly ready for MAS yes-members. At this stage, I would love to know if Sen. Peredo or the government leader at the assembly Santos Ramirez would be able to recite Art. 1 by memory, and explain it to their audience.
I like even less arts.107 and 108 regarding freedom of expression and freedom of the press. The draft I have (it is said the real original has been altered many times__ which makes it even more illegal, if that is possible), seems a minestrone of concepts that I am not sure it does exist displayed in that way in any democratic country.
Both articles are written on a lethally vague way (or was it deliberate?). Thwarting free expression means crippling democracy. As a journalist I feel outraged by those articles.
I would like to know also in which countries it is stated by constitution that the media must "promote the ethical, moral and civic values of the diverse cultures in the country with the production and publication of educational pluri-lingual programs…" (Poor multi-ethnic India, Canada or Brazil, I would say.)
If this is the kind of change that will be imposed in Bolivia, it is better to stick to the old 1925 press law.
What other changes? Oil nationalization hasn´t happened, according to technical criteria, although nobody denies that the drastic change in percentages benefitting Bolivia has been positive. But it wasn´t necessary to withstand eighteen months of tribulations without knowing where would Bolivia get investments to meet current export agreements with Brazil and Argentina.
What else? The bonuses for elders and primary school students? Nobody would honestly oppose them, but I wonder about their sustainability over time.
Let´s agree there are good points in the MAS draft, but to propose them it wasn´t necessary irrigating gasoline all over the country.
One also disagrees with the government insistence in placing autonomy and separatism on the same level. I don´t like a bit the cynical statement by a high government official saying that Dec.15 rally of Santa Cruz cívicos consisted or "five or ten families". Maybe all he wanted was to hide the fact that there were by far much more attendants in Santa Cruz (tens of thousands, easily) to approve autonomic statutes than in La Paz to approve the MAS draft. His was a blatant lie.
On the other hand, I don´t like the Autonomous statutes because I don´t think they had been debated enough in forums, university campuses, academy groups, labor unions, etc. It was a matter of setting a difference with MAS. On one side, they are at least clear and articulated. But they should have been born fully legally. There are no specific laws dealing with autonomy. Then it would have had to wait. But over all they should have shown superiority not only in their conceptualization but in their moral consistency throughout open debate across all society segments. That would have shown a difference with MAS´s draft.
As many other people, I don't like "ponchos rojos" brutality reminiscent of the blind violence Shining Path. I don´t like either the clash militia-like groups of the Santa Cruz Civic Committee.
It is a pity that President Morales had accused US Ambassador of conspiring against his government presenting as a proof a color photo of him and a Colombian citizen at a Fair in Santa Cruz. Nobody had enough political clout to tell him: "That picture is no proof at all. Stop showing it. Let´s be serious."
A country cannot go on under a who-makes- it- worse dynamics. Let´s hope for a brighter political interaction in 2008.

Meeting Place Registrant
Welcome to FotoFest's 16-day Biennial Meeting Place Portfolio Review in Houston, Texas.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Houston Downtown
If you are curious as to why we call our portfolio review program "The Meeting Place", it's because the Meeting Place presents the opportunity for photographic artists to meet and show their work to top arts professionals from around the world. The event is literally a "meeting place" - a place where artists, arts professionals, collectors, and colleagues are able to network, collaborate, share ideas, and establish life-long connections.
The Meeting Place provides photographic artists the opportunity to present their portfolios to a wide range of decision-makers who can help assist photographers in their future career development. This may mean an exhibition, purchases work, an arts residency, or the publication in a magazine or book.

Reviewers include museum curators, gallery owners, directors of non-profit organizations, magazine editors, representatives of photography agencies, collectors and publishers.

As part of the Meeting Place, there are four public Evenings with the Artist - Open Portfolio Nights, presented in conjunction with artist book signings and artist/curator dialogues. The public is invited to meet with artists participating in the Meeting Place, view their portfolios, and possibly buy work.
Professionally, I must say that seeing how FotoFest for the last 20 + years has promoted a platform for international photography - introducing, sharing, collaborating and nurturing a community for the photographic arts in Houston and worldwide, continues to be the best inspiration.

We absolutely love the National Trust and we are not ashamed to admit it. Our friends think we are a bit mad but a Saturday spent at the National Trust going for a super long walk and maybe a visit to the cafe or pub too is our ideal Saturday!
We actually have a life members card which admits 2 people for free which makes our weekends spent at the NT even better as they are free so a cheap weekend for us! We have already written a post about our love for walking, but will highlight why we love it again. Walking is great cardio, its good to get out in the fresh air, we find it excellent therapy and of course its totally free!
I think the reason we love the NT so much is because there are so many different places for us to visit and explore and often there are many already planned walks for us to try out. Then we can end the walk and explore at either a NT cafe or a pub. The NT cafes are great, especially the homemade cakes!
We have decided to make it our new years resolution to visit lots of NT places in 2017 and write lots of posts about our visits. We also want to take lots of pictures on our visits and to show everyone how much fun a visit to the National Trust can be. So you can all look forward to lots of National Trust posts this year!
Why not check our their website and pick a place near you to visit, trust us you won't regret it!

There is NOTHING in this word that compares to..
.. The smell of a newborn baby's head close enough to your lips to kiss while watching that sweet baby sleep on your chest… all while…
…Chasing after your crazy toddler whose holding your hand yelling "C'mon Mommy!!"
It's like all your senses completely and totally experienced at one time.
That, my friends, is the experience of a baby wearing mama and this is why the Moby Wrap is soooo incredibly important to my daily life as a mom (whether you're a mom of 1, 2, 3, or 10 😉
When I was pregnant with Cale, I had many of my "natural" mommy friends from our Bradley class talk about the Moby wrap and I thought I'd love one, but man the $40+ price tag was seriously holding me back from that purchase. But, I've since learned that, although the price is $40, it's well worth it. Or you can find one used on Craigslist.
My friend Jenny and Gwen then each gave me material that was intended to work as a Moby wrap and they got the job done, but I struggled with the material constantly when Cale was a newborn and gave it up altogether much earlier than I would have liked.
When I was pregnant with Gabe, I decided no matter what that I would definitely have the original Moby wrap as it was a NECESSITY with 2 under 2. I was given one as a gift and boy, was that the greatest blessing!
So here's my review of the positives and negatives of the Moby wrap:
- Most babies that are used to being carried will fall right to sleep in the Moby and will take a good nap in it despite the chaos around you.
- The material is a stretchy jersey knit so it can "grow" with the baby.
- Once you watch the instruction videos on the Moby wrap website, it's fairly easy to do it yourself the first few times, and takes only a few seconds after those first few times.
Click on the hold you're interested in to see the video for each hold here:
- Having your hands totally free while also cuddling your baby is the most vital aspect of this wrap (free to do the dishes, chase your other child, clean the house, etc.)
- There are several different holds you can use as your baby grows that will keep them as comfortable as possible.
- Keeps both of you warm during the winter.
- It is definitely a hotter wrap during the summer.
- Unless you wrap it on your body prior to leaving the house, it is tough as it drags on the ground while you're wrapping it.
So that is my overall review of this product! It's a must have for all moms, in my opinion, and it comes in a variety of beautiful colors! Here's some of our uses of the Moby Wrap:
First Sunday at church (5 days old)
Just getting relaxed on a fussy day…
Ready to go out and chase big brother around.
Being interviewed by our college alumni for advertising purposes.
And at a college football game (one of several).
Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend!

future of war
Navy Deploys Laser Drone Fighter
Welcome to the wild world of laser warfare. The U.S. Navy is deploying a prototype of a new laser weapon that is said to disable patrol boats and blind or destroy surveillance drones. It will be set up in the Persian Gulf, which has been the site of tension between Iranian and American naval forces, but won't be in operation until next year, according to Chief of Naval Operations Jonathan W. Greenert. At the moment, it seems intended as a warning to Iran not to ramp up activity in the area as the nuclear program debate continues.

Highlights of North and East India - The British Raj
Explore North and East India visiting the capitals of the British Raj, exploring the countryside and taking in diverse and vibrant cities.
In the Himalayan mountains, the 130 year-old Oberoi Cecil Hotel offers its guests and visitors spectacular mountain and valley views from its exclusive grounds. The grand heritage hotel retains the colonial charm of its heyday during the British Raj, and is located at the quiet end of Mall Road, perfectly placed for exploring Shimla on foot.
Shimla was the summer capital during the British Raj in the 19th century, the hill destination of choice for the upper crust of India. Today, the city's tourism still thrives, and the winding main street and narrow alleyways are frequented by holiday-makers particularly in the warmer months. The Mall and the Ridge are great examples of Shimla's quaint Victorian architecture. You can poke through temples, monasteries, churches, and bazaars. At the Oberoi Cecil Hotel, book a relaxing spa treatment, grab a cocktail at the Cedar Bar, take the Colonial Heritage walk, or enjoy valley views from Shimla's only temperature controlled indoor swimming pool.
There are 79 rooms, all decorated with classic polished wood and brass fittings. Air-conditioning and heating is standard, and the Tudor Wing is particularly good for families. All the rooms and suites are extremely comfortable and many of them have superb views.
This hotel was modernised in the late 1990's to an extremely high standard, but it might be considered slightly dated in the new millennium. If you're looking for a sleek and modern experience, you'd be better off at the Wildflower Hall, which is close by. Otherwise, enjoy classic Colonial comforts and gorgeous views at the Oberoi Cecil.
Superior - This is what we would describe as our standard category. These will be decent 3/4* hotels providing a really good level of service. We would generally expect them to be providing a little something extra, in terms of character, guest experience or facilities too.
Include this hotel as part of your Experience Travel Holiday of a lifetime.
Here are some popular holidays including this hotel or we can create a tailor made holiday, crafted for you.

Those who know me would know I hate to be in the sun. Known for its lack of sunshine, London is easily my favourite city in the world. But as luck would have it, we reached London when they were having a heatwave!
Still, we managed to touch-and-go and covered some main tourist spots for my brother who was visiting London for the first time.
Big Ben, now officially known as the Elizabeth Tower
(in celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II)
London Eye – no time for for a ride on it again
We enjoyed the National History Museum a lot the last time we were in London and thought of bringing our kid(s) to visit in future. So here's wish coming true:
human made. 😉
Within walking distance is the famous Harrods!
Harrods to me, is a must-visit!
For fans of Princess Diana, here you can find a memorial of her and Dodi Al Fayed located at the basement.
For fans of shopping, this is a one-stop place to find many big labels. But because this is a very popular tourist spot on its own, some popular bag models are often out-of-stock.
