Time may be running out for New Jersey healthcare workers who have previously declined to get flu shots – many of their employers are now making it mandatory.
New Jersey hospitals are increasingly requiring workers to get influenza vaccinations, with some exemptions for medical or religious reasons. While state legislators have proposed making it a statewide requirement for healthcare workers, hospitals are increasingly taking action on their own.
The three Atlantic Health System hospitals, Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton and the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro are among hospitals that have adopted flu-shot requirements this year.

materials available, their low-profile design will give any swimmer the competitive advantage.
About Speedo
In 1914, Speedo was founded in Australia by Alexander MacRae, a 22-year-old Scottish immigrant who arrived in the
country in 1910. The company began when MacRae Hosiery manufacturers, established by Alexander in 1914, extended the
manufacture of underwear to swimwear and became MacRae Knitting Mills. A naming competition was held by the staff in
1928 and won by a Captain Parsonson, who coined the slogan, "Speed on in your Speedos." In 1929, the first swimsuits
were in production and it didn't take long for Speedo to successfully establish itself. World War II caused the brand
turn over 90% of it's manufacturing to war production, providing the armed services with vital equipment such as
mosquito nets. After the war, Speedo opened a new factory and was able to re-establish itself, due to increased demand
for swimsuits. In 1951, Speedo Knitting Mills (Holdings) Ltd, was incorporated and became a publicly traded company on
the Sydney Stock exchange.
Speedo hit the international stage in earnest, at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games, and a few years later the brand
grew on a more global scale. Export sales to the USA began and an international division was set up to monitor trade in
New Zealand, Japan and South Africa. The expansion of the brand continued, and in 1976, Speedo was appointed as the
official swimwear for the 1976 Montreal Olympics, where 52 out of 54 countries wore their swimsuits.
Speedo continues to make its mark in the pool and on the beach today. Many world class athletes who wear Speedo include
U.S. phenomenon Michael Phelps, legendary Australian swimmer Grant Hackett, world record holder Kosuke Kitajima from
Japan, and Holland's Inge de Bruijn.

Study: Worst schools stay open
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Most low-performing public schools — including charter and conventional schools in Michigan — rarely improve and rarely close, according to a Detroit Free Press report on a new national study.
Michigan was among 10 states studied by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization, for its report titled "Are Bad Schools Immortal?"
The study found that "low performance is remarkably stubborn" in Michigan, the Free Press reported, despite provisions in the federal No Child Left Behind Act that allow school closure as a consequence for poor performance.
In 2003-04, about 37 percent of Michigan's charter schools were designated as low-performing on state tests, compared to 7 percent of traditional public schools, the Free Press reported. In 2008-09, among the previously identified charters, 75 percent were still doing badly, while 10 percent had closed. Among low-performing conventional public schools, 90 percent still lagged behind and 5 percent had closed.
The Free Press said the study cited two Michigan schools as evidence that the charter sector was "somewhat" more successful at closing weak schools. Tri-Valley Academy of Arts and Academics in Muskegon was closed in 2008, while A.L. Holmes Elementary in Detroit Public Schools was identified as "persistently lowest-achieving" despite an overhaul in 2005-2006.
Kisha Verdusco, a spokeswoman for DPS, told the Free Press that Holmes is now operating under a federal school improvement grant with a new principal, literacy coach and "reconstituted" staff.

This was a project from my first semester of graduate school (Fall 2016). I was taking a 3D printing and fashion course where we could implement this technology on a garment. I have always been fascinated with fairy folklore where they are not the cute Disney types, but the type of creature that would kidnap/mate/enslave.
The beads were printed using Makerbot technology, hand finished, and hand painted for the nightshade flowers so that they resembled the actual flower. Each bead, 97 total, had to be sanded and cleaned before application.
This dress was inspired by the need for humans to mate with and the lines of the dress actually illustrate female biology. The nightshade flowers, leaves, and blossoms were all 3d printed and applied by hand to a tulle layer that was chain stitched to resemble Celtic knotwork. The layer underneath is hand dyed silk crepe de chine that was dyed while 35% with acid dyes to develop a leafy texture. It was then backed with a stiff polyester taffeta to ensure it wouldn't collapse underneath. The top of the dress features real leather center back panels while faux leather tape was used to finish the hem. Polyester horse hair was put inside the faux leather tape to give the hem structure.
This dress will be used in an upcoming collection called "Celtic Nightshade," which will be a fall/winter collection.

What Are De Quervain's Tenosynovitis And Dupuytren's Contracture?
Table of Contents
Dupuytren's contracture is another condition that affects the hand; however, it is a deformity that usually develops slowly and is usually painless. Dupuytren's contracture affects the layer of tissue that lies under the palmer fascia. The tissue under the skin becomes thickened and knotted. Eventually thick cords form under the surface of skin on the palm. These have the ability to pull fingers into a bent position towards the palm. The most commonly affected fingers are the ring finger and pinky finger. Occasionally, the middle finger may become affected. Dupuytren's contracture rarely affects the thumb or index finger. When the fingers are affected by Dupuytren's contracture, they cannot be straightened completely. This can interfere with normal everyday activities, including writing, shaking hands, and putting on gloves.
Causes Of De Quervain's Tenosynovitis And Dupuytren's ContractureThe cause of De Quervain's tenosynovitis is often unknown; it is most common in middle-aged women. Certain activities have been identified that may trigger the disease, including overuse of the thumb, a direct blow to the thumb, repetitive grasping, as well as certain diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, De Quervain's tenosynovitis has been associated with pregnancy.
Similarly, the cause of Dupuytren's contracture remains relatively unknown. Researchers have hypothesized that it may be associated with an autoimmune response, whereby the immune system attacks the body. Dupuytren's contracture more commonly affects older men that are of Northern European descent. Dupuytren's contracture occurs frequently with conditions that cause contractures in other parts of the body.
While the cause of Dupuytren's contracture is unknown, various factors have been identified that increase an individual's risk of developing the condition, including:
- Age: Over 50
- Gender: Male
- Ancestry: Northern European descent
- Genetics: Dupuytren's contracture tends to run in families
- Lifestyle factors: Smoking and alcohol use
- Medical conditions: Diabetes and epilepsy
Treatments For De Quervain's Tenosynovitis And Dupuytren's ContractureDiagnosis of De Quervain's tenosynovitis is usually based on the appearance of the wrist, location of the pain, and tenderness of the wrist at the base of the thumb. The Finklestein test is the most commonly used orthopedic test that is used to diagnose patients presenting with symptoms of De Quervain's tenosynovitis. This test involves making a fist, with the thumb placed in the palm of the hand. The patient is then asked to bend their wrist toward the outside. If the patient experiences pain, the test is positive and they may have De Quervain's tenosynovitis.
Treatment for De Quervain's tenosynovitis usually involves rest as well as immobilization of the affected joint with a splint for four to six weeks. Additionally, patients are advised to refrain from participating in any activities that aggravate the pain. Home treatment, including the application of ice, may be beneficial for reducing inflammation.
If these treatment methods fail to relieve the patient's pain, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as Aleve or Ibuprofen, may be recommended to help reduce inflammation, thereby helping to relieve pain. Additionally, a steroid injection into the affected tendon sheath may help to decrease inflammation and associated pain.
For patients with De Quervain's tenosynovitis that does not respond to conservative treatment methods, surgery might be warranted. Surgical release of the first dorsal compartment releases the tight covering of the tendon, thereby eliminating the friction that is causing the inflammation. Surgery helps to restore the normal smooth tendon movement.
The prognosis of patients with De Quervain's tenosynovitis is excellent, with most patients returning to full functioning once the inflammation calms down after treatment.
A diagnosis of Dupuytren's contracture can usually be made by visualizing and palpating the affected hand. Physicians look for skin puckering on the palms and check for areas of knotting or banded tissue. In most cases, additional tests are not needed to diagnose this condition.
Treatment of Dupuytren's contracture depends on the severity of the condition. Treatment for cases of mild Dupuytren's contracture involves stretching of the fingers, heat, and massage. When the palm of the affected hand is constantly sore, ultrasound treatment may be beneficial. Additionally, some patients may benefit from a cortisone injection into the affected area to help control local inflammation.
Treatment for Dupuytren's contracture that has progressed past the initial stages where the contracture is interfering with normal tasks, involves removing or breaking up the cords of tissue that have developed that are pulling the fingers toward the palm. There are various ways that this can be done, depending on the severity of the condition.
Needling, also known as needle aponeurotomy or needle fasciotomy, is a technique that involves inserting a needle through the skin to puncture the cord of tissue. This technique can be performed on multiple fingers at the same time, and minimal physical therapy is needed after the procedure.
A newer type of treatment is collagenase injection. This injection involves injecting a type of enzyme known as collagenase into the cord of tissue, which helps to soften and weaken it. This allows the physician to manipulate the affected area in an attempt to destroy the cord and straighten the fingers.
Surgery to remove the affected tissue from the palm can be utilized when nonsurgical options have failed. Surgical treatment helps to free the fingers from contracture and release the tendons. Surgical procedures help to restore function to the affected hand.
The prognosis for individuals with Dupuytren's contracture is good. Typically, the disease progresses slowly and is painless. Additionally, there are a variety of effective treatment options for this condition.
ConclusionDe Quervain's tenosynovitis and Dupuytren's contracture are both conditions that affect the hands. De Quervain's tenosynovitis is a painful condition that occurs due to inflammation of the tendons that control thumb extension. There are various treatment options available for De Quervain's tenosynovitis and the prognosis is excellent for individuals faced with this condition.
Dupuytren's contracture occurs due to a thickening of palmer fascia resulting in contracture of the fingers toward the palm. While Dupuytren's contracture is not painful, it can severely limit an individual's ability to perform simple tasks, such as writing. There are a variety of treatment options for Dupuytren's contracture and the prognosis is very good for patients suffering with this condition.

Now this is wildly amusing.
The Yankees stayed the Westin in Pittsburgh, which is attached to a convention center. The Yankees checked out today and guess who was checking in?
That would be the the furry convention. These are folks who dress up as animals that have human characteristics. The Anthrocon was expected to draw 2,500 people.
Our fervent hope is that some of the Yankees will forward us their cell phone photos. Let's just pray that Kyle Farnsworth did not bring any firearms on this trip.

environmental causes of autism.
One in 166 children is diagnosed with some form of
autism; parents and researchers alike are striving
for answers as to how this condition comes to be.
Genetic origin is one of the hypotheses that are
out there as to how children get autism.
In fact, there is genetic research on autism done
in several research centres throughout the world.
So far, several genes have been found to be suspect
in cases of autism but no single gene has emerged
as the culprit.
Researchers believe there may be several genes
that are abnormal and that lead to the syndrome
we know as autism.
Researchers do know, however, that autism is not
just directly handed down from parent to child in
a linear fashion like blue eyes or blonde hair.
The genetics are more complicated than that.
Another clue as to the hereditary basis of autism
is the fact that siblings of autistic children have
a higher risk of autism than the general population.
In fact, it is estimated that 10 percent of siblings
of autistic children also have autistic traits.
Twin studies show an increase in autism among both
pairs of identical twins as you would find in the
general population.
There used to be a great deal of speculation about
autism and things like vaccinations.
No vaccination or any other environmental aspect
has been found to be linked to autism.
Autism also seems to affect other populations than
just Western populations.
This means that Western issues like environmental
toxins are not likely causes of the disorder.
At some point, researchers will find out the
genetic basis behind autism.
If they find that the gene or genes code for
specific proteins that are lacking in autistic
children, there may be gene therapy or
protein-replacement therapy that can help these
Researchers just haven't got that far yet!

The country code for dialing a number in the United States is 1. This code is also used by Canada and Bermuda.Continue Reading
A country's dialing code is a standard numerical code used in international telecommunications. Calls from abroad can be made to the U.S. by using a certain format in dialing.
To call someone in the U.S., the exit code for the country of origin is dialed first, followed by the country code for the U.S., then the 3-digit area code and finally the 7-digit telephone number. For instance, a person calling from France dials "00," followed by "1," then "212" for New York's area code and then the rest of the phone number.Learn more about United States

Title says most.
I would like to be able to switch between OSes (Arch and Windows) relatively quickly. Ideally, this would involve hibernating one and then booting into the other, while keeping the hibernation file to be used when I am done with the other OS. I do not want to VM, because I use Windows for gaming (can't lose frames!), and I don't want Windows to be a primary OS with Arch nested underneath (seems to defeat purpose of having Arch's simplicity).
I've been searching around various forums but can't seem to find any related answer (odd, seeming that it would be a fairly common scenario--maybe it's a very obvious answer). I understand that this can be dangerous when on the same drive, but it seems that the likelihood of data corruption on different drives would be very low. I will have completely separate backup drives for each, and the only data transfer between Linux and Windows will be done through Google Drive. In fact, I'd be even happier if I were able to block each OS from seeing the drives of the other.
So, is this a possible scenario? Can GRUB (or a different bootloader--I am flexible) select between OSes that are both hibernated? Is data corruption inevitable? Are there ways to mitigate data corruption?
Thanks in advance.
I would worry about BIOS setting changes, firmware updates, and suchlike. If you don't want the OSes to see each other's *data*, you could encrypt the drives using two separate encryptions, bitlocker for windows and luks for arch. Just don't encrypt your boot partition; it makes booting slow.
No. No matter on how many disks.
Corrupting the hibernation data is one thing, but the OS expects the system to be in the exact same condition when waking up from hibernation and that's easily broken, especially by windows updates or the BIOS/UEFI loosing track of the S4 state(s) and adjusting the memory map on the next boot.
There're several threads on this very board where this scenario leads to these kind of issues.

New Hawaiian spider species found
April 21st, 2011 | by Cheryl Ernst | Published in Research News
Researchers have identified two new endemic Hawaiʻi spiders—the Argyrodes ilipoepoe on Kauaʻi and Argyrodes laha on Oʻahu, Molokaʻi and Maui. The third Hawaiian member of that genus, A. hawaiiensis, was found previously on the Big Island.
All three species are kleptoparasitic, dining on prey caught in webs built by other spiders. Their restaurant of choice: the sheet web of the large nocturnal Orsonwelles spider, says University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa zoologist Malia Rivera.
As many as 60 have been found on the upper scaffolding of a web while the host Orsonwelles hangs beneath.
Their dependence on the endemic host spider for meals may explain why the genus has not diversified like the 10 free living endemic Ariamnes spider species earlier identified by Rivera and former UH colleague Rosemary Gillespie.
Characterized by their small rounded abdomens and variably long fangs, the tiny Argyrodes spiders were identified using dissecting and scanning electron microscopes and camera lucida.
The findings were reported in the University of Hawaiʻi Press journal Pacific Science. Read the abstract.

The MA in Integrated Marketing Communication (MAIMC) is a programme launched by the Department of Media and Communication in 2008, having the following features:
It incorporates marketing, public relations, advertising, and new media in response to the needs by organizations that increasingly demand for professional integrated marketing communicators.
It is one of the few in the world that infuse a heavy component of state-of-the-art technologies, such as a sophisticated e-platform that converges all modes of communication for this integrated degree and an eye-tracking laboratory that provides scientifically-based evidence to guide and test graphic, visual and textual communication in integrated marketing communication for designing more effective persuasive messages.
It is the first and only MA programme of its kind in UGC-funded universities in Hong Kong.
The programme offers the opportunity for students to study in the collaborative degree with the IMC programme at the Northwestern University, U.S.A.

In fact, the athlete spokesman in U.S. Open ads who may garner the most attention over the next few weeks-Tiger Woods-hails from a sport many say is stealing tennis' thunder.
American Express Co. is expected to break its first ads featuring the golf phenom during CBS' U.S. Open broadcasts, via Ogilvy & Mather, New York.
Heineken USA and IBM Corp. are both making Mr. McEnroe the poster boy for their '97 U.S. Open marketing efforts. Most of the TV support behind the efforts will air during CBS' and USA Network's coverage of the two-week tournament, which begins Aug. 25.
As USTA Corporate Champion sponsors, Heineken and IBM get ad time in their packages.
Heineken will sport Mr. McEnroe in national TV, radio and point-of-purchase advertising, created by Wells BDDP, New York. The ads support a promotion that offers a limited-edition McEnroe T-shirt. The importer will heavy up its presence in New York City, the permanent home of the U.S. Open.
IBM Director of Sports Marketing Tom Burke said O&M is creating two new commercials starring Mr. McEnroe, including a sequel to one that aired around Wimbledon earlier this summer. The spots direct consumers to the Web site IBM is establishing for the event; it is being launched this week.
Tennis' dominant players, Pete Sampras and Martina Hingis, appear to be taking a back seat to Big Mac. Nike plans to air creative from Wieden & Kennedy, Portland, Ore., featuring Mr. Sampras that broke last month.
"There's just no Michael Jordan of tennis," said Bob Williams, president of Burns Sports Celebrity Service, which pairs athletes with brands. "Pete . . . would help himself if he was more outgoing. Martina is still young, but I'm not

Zoo tax leading, but not by enough
Zoo tax
Alameda County voters were saying yes - but not in sufficient numbers - to a $12-per-parcel tax that would raise $137 million over 25 years for animal care, field trips for kids, facility upgrades and other amenities at the Oakland Zoo, according to partial election results. The tax requires approval by a two-thirds majority.
Zoo supporters blanketed the county with "Yes on A1" signs, saying that as city funding has dropped, the zoo relies increasingly on entrance fees. The city of Oakland, for example, has slashed zoo funding from $1.2 million annually to $500,000. The tax would help the zoo keep entrance fees low and pay for more school field trips.
Opponents said the zoo has not been forthcoming about its finances, especially as it embarks on an expansion into Knowland Park.
Transportation tax
In Alameda County, a transportation sales tax measure that would make the current half-cent sales tax permanent and add another half cent was gaining but still short of the two-thirds majority required to pass. Measure B1 would raise $7.8 billion over the next 30 years. It would fund a wide array of transportation improvements including bike and pedestrian paths, port improvements, BART modernization and expansion, street maintenance, freeway interchanges and widening, and bus operations.
Proponents say the tax would help pay for needed transportation improvements despite a lack of state and federal funding. Critics, mainly members of a conservative group, contend the tax is part of a regional government scheme to force people into dense housing near transit hubs.
Pot dispensaries
Voters in Palo Alto were rejecting Measure C, which would allow three marijuana dispensaries in the upscale college town, early election results showed.
Supporters said people with cancer and other diseases should not have to travel to San Jose or beyond to obtain medical marijuana. The dispensaries, which would be the only ones between San Jose and San Francisco, would be at least 600 feet from schools, 500 feet from libraries and parks.
Opponents argued that dispensaries are magnets for crime, and incongruous with the character of Palo Alto.
Sit/lie law
Measure S in Berkeley, which would outlaw sitting on the sidewalk, was winning, early election results showed.
The measure, put forth by Mayor Tom Bates, was intended to crack down on homeless people blocking the sidewalk in commercial districts during the day.
The city already has a law against lying on the sidewalk. Measure S would give police and other city staff another tool to help keep the sidewalks clear, supporters said.
Opponents argued the measure was an unfair attack on people who are already facing a multitude of other problems, and said the city should spend more on shelters and job services.
Open space
In Marin County, voters were approving a one-quarter-cent sales tax to support parks and open space, with most ballots counted. The measure needs a two-thirds majority to pass.
Measure A would raise about $10 million a year for nine years to pay for fire prevention, trail maintenance, watershed protection and facility improvements.
Opponents said 80 percent of the county is already open space, and the county should instead spend on road repair, senior services and child care programs.

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa – One person was killed and another injured after an accident on Interstate 80 Wednesday morning.
Authorities were called to the crash on the east bound lanes between the Jordan Creek Parkway and 60th Street exits in West Des Moines shortly after 8:40 a.m.
Police say the vehicle came off the road and traveled along the medium, missing the cable barriers and drove head-on into an abutment of the pedestrian bridge near 60th Street.
Investigators don't think any other vehicles were involved in the crash.
The driver was killed. A passenger was taken to a Des Moines hospital in a serious condition.
Officers talked to a person who saw the driver right before the crash.
"We spoke with one witness that described the driver leaving the area, the rest area just west of here, maybe thought he had some kind of condition, either tired, medical, don't know, and we think even witnessed the crash," Sgt. Ken O'Brien with the West Des Moines Police Department said.
Drivers were directed to the shoulder as emergency crews worked on the scene.
An autopsy will be performed on the driver, whose identity is being withheld until family notification.
The accident remains under investigation.

My experience on the Appalachian Trail this year has infected me with the hiking bug. I want to continue to hike on a regular basis and to stay up to speed on what's going on in the hiking community. Since I'm no longer "hiking for the homeless," I thought it might be appropriate to change the name and address of this blog. Today, I will be changing the address of this blog to http://www.longdistancetrailhiking.wordpress.com and I will be exporting everything from this blog to the new address, so please remember to bookmark the new page. I will continue to post interesting articles that I find, as well as keep the blog updated with any adventures I might be engaging in. Thanks to everyone for their patronage and support of this blog, and I'll see you down the trail.
Maybe Next Year…
You may have noticed that I haven't posted in over a week. Unfortunately, I am off the trail at this time. I began feeling weak and fatigued shortly after leaving Damascus. I reached Atkins, VA and decided to contact a friend in Virginia and see if she could pick me up. I thought I might need a rest for a few days. A few days after leaving the trail I developed a severely swollen lymph node behind my right ear, and the fatigue and body aches got worse. The upshot is that I am being treated for Lyme Disease at this time. My hike is over for this year while I rest and recover. My hope is that we caught this early and that it will not have long term implications. I appreciate everyone's support, both for myself and for Flagstaff Shelter Services. This has been an amazing experience and one I want to continue. My intention, at this time, is to continue to hike the Appalachian Trail in years to come, and to eventually complete it. I wish everyone the best.

What an amazing day of trail magic! The three of us woke this morning grumpy, complaining that we didn't sleep all night. We had agreed that we would hit the road by 7:30 am so we could hopefully have an easier hitch back the trailhead. Brownie needed to get to the town of Marion so she could get a maildrop, so the plan was to hike 14 miles to Partnership Shelter and hitch into Marion the next morning. At 7:35 am, we got picked up by a woman who worked at the Walmart in Marion and she drove us in. We were able to get all our errands done, including doing laundry at the laundromat by noon. Then I ran into Hardees to pick up breakfast sandwiches for everyone and ran into a few hikers who introduced me to a guy who was doing shuttle runs back to the trailhead! We got a ride back and were on the trail by 1 pm. We hiked 4 miles to Trimpi shelter, where I was able to practice setting up my hammock. I'm sleeping in it for the first time tonight, and am laying in it writing this blog. There is a hiker feed tomorrow from 10 to 4 at a road crossing two miles from where we are, so we'll be hitting that in the morning. The sun shone all day today, which definitely improved my mood. Too many days of rain and clouds depresses me. All in all, a great day!
May 24, 2012
Hiked 11 miles today and am in Troutdale at the hostel provided by the Baptist Church. My original intention was to go to Trimpi Shelter, which is 15 miles away, but it started to rain again this afternoon. Pandora, Brownie Brittle and myself are the only ones here. Showered and did some laundry in the shower. Shower laundry is a new trick I've learned as a way to keep clothes reasonable in between laundromats. Basically, you take all your clothes off and put them on the floor of the shower. While you're showering, you stomp on the clothes, pushing all the dirt out. You do this until no more dirt comes out. Then you wring the clothes out and hang them on the line. We're currently sitting on the porch, watching the storm clouds pass over, having a nice relaxing evening. There's no grocery or restaurant in this town, so we ate what's in our food bags. We were laughing because the porch has several places to sit on it, and we were all sitting on the ground. Women gone feral, we've forgotten how to use chairs.
May 23, 2012
Hiked 11 miles to Old Orchard shelter. Rained all day. Very tired and tired of the rain. Crossed the 500 mile mark today.
May 22, 2012
Hiked to Thomas Knob shelter, just past the top of Mount Rogers. Mount Rogers is the highest point in Virginia and the last 5000 foot mountain until New Hampshire. Climbed two mountains today, Whitetop and Mount Rogers. The last four miles of the hike were in a thunderstorm, but got here safely. Excited about tomorrow and Grayson Highlands. Should be able to play with the wild ponies. Hope to get some pictures.
May 21, 2012
Hiked 15.8 miles to Lost Mountain Shelter. It was good to get back on the trail. I mailed my winter stuff home, hopefully I won't need it until New Hampshire. Hiked a section of the Virginia Creeper trail. It was beautiful. The Virginia Creeper trail is a 37 mile bike trail that follows Laurel Creek. I was wishing I had a fishing pole, there were great trout holes there.
May 20, 2012
It's Sunday and I'm still in Damascus. Need to wait until tomorrow for the post office to open. I spent the day reflecting on the changes I've been noticing in myself since the hike began. One of the primary shifts is this sense of living totally in the moment. I typically only plan for today, and have a vague sense of what I'll do tomorrow. When I think about the future or what I'll do when I return to Flagstaff, it's just blank space. Living like this is changing me. I find myself less self-conscious about things. History and past fades away, and what is important is who I am today. There is some fear as well. I feel like these shifts and realizations are irreversible. If I stay out here and continue to chip away who I'm not, what will be left? Who will I be when I leave this place. I feel like I'm at a jumping off place. Leave the trail and return to the old me I'm comfortable with, or keep walking and step out in faith and trust. Tomorrow, I'll get up and walk…and see what happens.
May 19, 2012
Great day in Damascus. Went to Jennifer Pharr-Davis presentation this morning. She was quite inspirational. Then went to see movie that hiker named Lion King did on the Appalachian Trail. Watched the hiker parade and sang in the hiker talent show. Will get video from Miss Janet. Went to Backpacker magazine gear giveaway, but didn't win anything. Then went Lion King's movie on the American Discovery trail and won a Hennesey Hammock in the drawing. The one I won is a little small for me, so going to their booth tomorrow where I can trade it for one the appropriate size. It was a good day and I'm glad I stayed. I really got a sense of being part of a larger community of hikers, and of the sense of camaraderie and care that exists within that community. When I complete this hike I will be joining a unique fellowship.
May 18, 2012
Today is my two month anniversary of being on the trail. I've been hiking since March 18. Trail Days was fun today, got my trekking poles cleaned and lubed by Black Diamond, saw what the various vendors had for sale, walked around and enjoyed the vibe, and caught up with hikers I had met who I haven't seen in a while. The Baptist church had a free medical clinic today. My blood pressure and pulse were excellent. Lots of swag from the vendors. Tomorrow is the hiker parade and several gear giveaways, but I'm seriously thinking of hitting the trail again. Three days feels like a long time to be in town. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Went to concert at Baptist church this evening, they had a great dessert bar, lol.

The Dedisciplining of Peer Review
The demand for greater public accountability is changing the nature of ex ante peer review at public science agencies worldwide. Based on a four year research project, this essay examines these changes through an analysis of the process of grant proposal review at two US public science agencies, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Weaving historical and conceptual narratives with analytical accounts, we describe the ways in which these two agencies struggle with the question of incorporating considerations of societal impact into the process of peer review. We use this comparative analysis to draw two main conclusions. First, evaluation of broader societal impacts is not different in kind from evaluation of intellectual merit. Second, the scientific community may actually bolster its autonomy by taking a broader range of considerations into its peer review processes.

Damiya Aloysius Yogaratnam, 20, studied BSC Economics and Accountancy at City University London. Damiya completed Cambridge Pre-U Business & Management at Coloma Convent Girls School in Surrey, 2008-2010. We spoke to her in June 2013.
I really enjoyed studying Cambridge Pre-U Business & Management, a course which allows you to develop an appreciation of the value of business and a practical understanding of how businesses operate and why business management decision-making is so important.
I studied both Cambridge Pre-U Business & Management and A-level Business Studies - two very different courses. The A-level focus was on the theory and Cambridge Pre-U allowed us to look at real-life examples, current issues and businesses that we as consumers were involved with. This broadened our understanding and allowed us to think beyond the classroom.
Cambridge Pre-U also involved more teaching and practical work, in terms of individual research and presentations.
I also picked up a lot of study skills whilst studying Cambridge Pre-U. This was really useful preparation for university. I not only developed as a student but also as a person, having to communicate with business managers as part of my coursework and also their customers for surveys. The requirements of the coursework allowed me to experience the level of work required of an undergraduate. I learnt how to support an answer with primary and secondary research and also how to critically analyse the strengths and weaknesses of my own opinions. I even mastered referencing which is an extremely important skill for university.
I am currently in my final year of studying BSC Economics and Accountancy at City University London and am also taught by Cass Business School for my accounting modules.
Cambridge Pre-U helped me to prepare really well for university and it still helps me now - for example for a recent report I wrote for my Financial Accounting Theory module coursework.
Cambridge Pre-U prepares you like no other subject, not only for your dissertation at university but later for work. If you have experience early on of tasks that are required of you as an employee, such as undertaking research effectively and talking to real businesses, you have an advantage when you enter the world of work. Pursuing a career requires more than knowledge of theories and examples from a textbook.
I learnt a lot during my course in terms of staff motivation and efficiency, and I have been able to introduce some of these ideas to my current part-time job at Smiths News, which I have been praised for.
Once I graduate, I would like to pursue a career in finance, and plan to apply for jobs this summer to work in an accountancy firm. I am also looking to increase my studies, studying towards the ACA qualification to which I have exemptions from studying Economics and Accountancy at a degree level.
I've always had an interest in the economy at a macro level and business studies in a micro level throughout my education. Finishing school at the start of the financial crisis further increased my interest to see how the financial sector would cope with possibly the worst crisis since the Great Depression. Although some may argue that this should push applicants away from careers in finance, I feel that this is the time when finance related careers will benefit the most, through mergers and acquisitions, and cutting costs – the need for accountants is increasing.

Episode 24: Kylie
In Episode 24 Kylie talks about the effect meetings have had in her recovery — how she learned more about herself and finally accepted that she had a problem with alcohol.
Kylie will turn 25 years old in 2016. Since the age of 15, there's never been a time where any problem she had wasn't solved with either alcohol or a drug. She ultimately realized that if she kept doing what she was doing she would continue spinning in an endless circle — going to detox to temporarily feel better, then quickly back to drugs and alcohol.
To this day, she sometimes gets frustrated to the point of crying because she doesn't know who she is without alcohol. Through her experiences in treatment, she knows that she has to take it one day at a time. According to Kylie, she's not making any promises about tomorrow, next week or even next year. Just today.

Walker & Co: NY. ISBN: 9780802720955.
ARC Copy from ALA Midwinter 2010.
Josh may be just your average English schoolboy, but his dad is a renowned Mexican archaeologist working on finding a lost ancient Mayan scroll foretelling the end of the world in 2012. But when he is killed in a very suspicious plane crash on a fact finding mission in Mexico, Josh is left with more questions than answers about his father's work, his dealings with a beautiful young woman in Mexico, and most importantly, about whether or not the crash was actually an accident. Josh sets off to find the answers to his questions in Mexico with two of his friends, but things get fishy almost immediately and he is separated from them and on the run for his life in the Mexican jungle. Josh discovers not only what his father was looking, but also a city lost to the known world deep in the Mexican jungle, and more shockingly that his family is deeply entwined in the prophecy regarding the end of the world in 2012. This story is an adrenaline filled adventure with a several jolting pensive moments, and is peppered with interesting historical facts about Mayan civilization (like how to read hieroglyphs) and fun sci-fi twists. It is recommended for boys in grades 5-8, particularly series readers, as this appears to be the first of at least two (The Joshua Files).
I procured my ARC copy of this book back in January at ALA's midwinter, when the pub date of May 2010 seemed a long way off. And look at todays date, when I am finally posting the review I just wrote. Well played, madam. Since I figured I needed to read more books clearly marketed to boys, it was the first in my giant stack I picked up, and I was actually pleasantly surprised, largely because the writing, unlike many of the boy market generated books, is actually pretty solid, and the story, while somewhat predictable at points, manages to feel original and exciting! The author isn't afraid to shock his readers; I actually got a little teary after the loss of a certain character. Allegedly. With 2012 and the predicted end of the world around the corner, I think this is a fun book to pick up, and easy to sell to boys of the upper elementary/middle school years. Mostly, I really want to see the real cover. My ARC cover promises me that the "final cover will include special effect." Like WHAT. Because magpie that I am, I like me some shiny things, Walker & Co.!
In related but not news, while going to post this, I discovered that it is not actually coming out until July 20th, and that the author is in fact a woman. To which I say well played, because I really thought that with the way this character thinks and talks, said androgynously named M.G. Harris did not possess a Y chromosome. Well played Lady Harris! Finally – what is up with the new cover? The art is really gorgeous...but my ARC cover is much more cool grown up thriller book looking. Behold:
If you are an eleven year old boy trying to look cool, which are you going to pick up? I think my point makes itself. But more importantly: Where are those promised special effects?

text: VENICE — William Friedkin, talking about his new movie "Killer Joe" at a Sept. 8 fest press conference, opined, "All women are looking in some ways for a Prince and Princess Charming, and often get a hired killer. This is true. I've been married four times! I was looking for Cinderella and instead I've found hired killers." He did, however, make an exception for Sherry Lansing and second wife Jeanne Moreau, "a wonderful woman and actress. What the hell she was doing with me I have no idea."
