Thousands march to mark killing of Egyptian Coptic protesters, demand trial of ex-army rulers
CAIRO (AP) — Several thousand Egyptians marched for miles through Cairo on Tuesday, marking the year anniversary of a military crackdown on Christian protesters that killed 26 people and demanding retribution against army leaders they hold responsible for the deaths.
Muslim clerics, Christian priests, activists and liberal former lawmakers joined the procession, filling large boulevards to memorialize the "Maspero massacre," referring to the name of the state TV building overlooking the Nile River where the violence took place a year ago.
The protest last year was led by hundreds of Christians angered over a string of attacks on churches and denouncing the military — which ruled the country at the time — for failing to protect them. Soldiers attacked the crowd, with military vehicles running over some protesters, while others were killed by gunshots. Almost all the dead were Christians.
For many in Egypt's Coptic Christian minority, the violence marked a turning point, ending their faith that the state would protect them in the face of increasingly assertive Islamic hardliners. Christian worries have only grown since Islamist Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president, came to power in late June, ending military rule.
Pope prays in Arabic, for Arabs in new outreach for Mideast Christians during general audience
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI has delivered a prayer in Arabic during his weekly general audience in a new effort by the Vatican to show support for Christians in the Middle East.
A priest read a summary of the pope's remarks on Wednesday in Arabic. The pope then delivered his own brief greeting in Arabic: "The pope prays for all the Arabic-speaking people. God bless you all."
The Vatican said it was adding Arabic to the six other languages, aside from the original Italian, typically spoken during the general audience, to remind Catholics to pray for peace in the Middle East.
Khalid Hussain, a Pakistani-born Muslim tourist visiting St. Peter's Square, praised the initiative, saying "I think it will bring a lot of audience into what the pope is saying."
Suburban Kansas City church started by former pastor of financially troubled megachurch folds
OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — The suburban Kansas City church that a pastor started after losing his megachurch to foreclosure has folded.
The Kansas City Star reports that the Rev. Jerry Johnston's New Day Church Kansas City held its last service Sept. 30. The church met in Olathe schools after last year's closure of the First Family Church in Overland Park. The megachurch once was described as among the fasting-growing in the country.
But members began leaving in 2007 because of financial accountability concerns. Last year, the church was foreclosed upon after its lender alleged it owed more than $14 million in mortgage payments and other costs.
Johnston doesn't appear to be leaving the ministry. In recent months, he's been a guest on the religious television program "100 Huntley Street."
Church outside Atlanta wins bid to stop Walmart store from selling alcohol
POWDER SPRINGS, Ga. (AP) — A church outside Atlanta has won a battle to stop a Walmart Supercenter from selling alcohol.
The Marietta Daily Journal reports that Cobb County commissioners on Tuesday denied a request from the Powder Springs store to have a wine and beer package license.
The vote was 4-1, with county chairman Tim Lee alone in support of the sales.
The store wanted the commission to waive its restriction of selling alcohol within 600 feet of a church.
The Rev. Bobby Wood of Pine Grove Baptist Church had said congregation members were asking commissioners not to approve the waiver for the store on Barrett Parkway.
Powder Springs is about 20 miles northwest of Atlanta.
Spokane Valley fire captain fired over sending religious emails from department account
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. (AP) — The Spokane Valley Fire Department has fired a captain who continued to send religious emails from his department account despite numerous orders to stop.
The Spokesman-Review reported that Capt. Jon Sprague, who runs the Spokane County Christian Firefighter Fellowship, has been disciplined several times for sending the emails. This year, he received two letters of reprimand and a suspension before the Spokane Valley Board of Fire Commissioners voted unanimously to fire him on Monday.
Sprague sent emails to a group of firefighters who agreed to receive the notices. They contained information about upcoming meetings and events of the Christian fellowship group.
Department attorney Mike McMahon says sending the emails was an unlawful use of department resources.
Catholic nun group to kick off 1,000-mile tour of Ohio ahead of election
CINCINNATI (AP) — A group of Roman Catholic nuns is kicking off a 1,000-mile bus tour of Ohio to urge political leaders to focus on the state's most vulnerable residents.
The so-called "Nuns on the Bus" tour will start in Cincinnati Wednesday morning and travel throughout the state for five days.
The nuns plan to visit Catholic-sponsored social service agencies that they say would be harmed by federal budget cuts.
They're calling on Democrats and Republicans to approve a budget that "affirms the life of all God's children — not just the wealthiest few."
Their stops will include Dayton, Lima, Toledo, Cleveland and Columbus.
Some of the same nuns in the group went on a nine-state tour over the summer that focused on the needs of low-income and vulnerable Americans.

The Exhibition Games Are Over!
The Boston Red Sox played their last exhibition game yesterday in LA, losing to the Dodgers by a score of 8-0. Clay Buchholz started strong but faltered in the fourth. He needs to learn, as he himself said. And now the pundits and media members are intent on telling us who will win the American League East. The person who comes closest to mirroring my own feelings is the Boston Herald's Tony Massarotti. He had this to say in the Sunday edition, and then I'll be back with my two cent's worth...
"Call me (Tony Massarotti) crazy, but I'm picking the Toronto Blue Jays to win the American League East this year.
Baseball usually comes down to pitching, after all, and here is the truth: The Jays have the deepest staff in the division. What Toronto needs now is to find a way to stay healthy, particularly after consecutive seasons in which injuries have derailed a Jays team that, at times, has pitched and hit with the very best clubs in baseball.
Now the Jays just have to do both at the same time.
For the Red Sox and New York Yankees, all of this comes back to the Johan Santana deal, a trade that neither club was willing to make. It is difficult to determine which club may end up regretting that moreke these very Sox and add Santana instead of, say, Bartolo Colon, and the Sox would be more than favorites to repeat as champions. They would be nothing short of a juggernaut, having effectively taken the World Series trophy and clobbered their opponents over the head with it.
Before anyone interprets this all as an indictment on the Red Sox and their offseason approach, you're missing the point. The Red Sox have a good team again. They might have had a great one. The Sox could have made the Santana deal and probably kept either Jon Lester or Buchholz, even they if gave up Jacoby Ellsbury, too. They will have three more drafts before Santana turns 32 years old, and they could have had Santana and Josh Beckett at the top of their rotation -- with Jonathan Papelbon backing them all up -- for at least the next three seasons. They chose not to.
Can the Red Sox win another championship this year? Of course. Once more, that is not the point. Take these very Sox and add Santana instead of, say, Bartolo Colon, and the Sox would be more than favorites to repeat as champions. They would be nothing short of a juggernaut, having effectively taken the World Series trophy and clobbered their opponents over the head with it."
Peter here, and it would have been a 21st century roundball massacre for the Sox. And what gets me is that the club KNEW about Schill's bum shoulder, but they were in a defensive only mode, making sure the Yankees could not land Santana before they showed that their interest was gone. A mistake? We'll all find out. To me, the Sox starting pitching, with the exception of Josh Beckett, is suspect. The better the starting quintet performs, whoever they may be, the better the chances are for the Sox to repeat as AL East Champions. I have to call it a toss-up right now. The Blue Jays, the Yankees, the Red Sox...how can I choose? My heart belongs, and always will, with the Sox, but my realistic mind knows that Toronto will be there every step of the way. The Yankees are close to being in the same starting pitching boat as Boston. If I HAD TO PICK right now, I'd list the top three AL East teams in this order...1) Toronto 2) Boston 3) NY Yankees
So there it is. We all know so very much can and will change during the 2008 season, and pitchers will be obtained to help the cause. It already HAS, in fact. The Red Sox have just signed Japanese righthander Terumasa Matsuo from the Shikoku Island League. He was the MVP of the league just last year, going 15-3 (!!) with a sparkling ERA of 1.72. Nice! Every little bit helps when it comes to our rather thin starting pitching. He's going to report to extended spring training down in Ft. Myers. Good luck, Terumasa, or "T," as I will call him.
To one and all, have a great Monday as the last day of March is upon us. April and its Fool's Day approaches quickly. Click on the title of this post for all the details of yesterday's last exhibition game with the Dodgers, and as always, BE WELL. FOREVER.
P.S. I NEED your comments...am I doing something wrong?? Readership is so low I think it's MY fault. Yet I've always been me, and always will. I'd love to know what you think, for every day, every morning is tougher and tougher for me. I'll never give up, but I'd love to know how YOU feel. Thank you so much. Your blog buddy Peter, a little sad, a little blue. But that's part of life. I'm used to it.

I am looking at some parts online and found a DVD burner, but do DVD burners burn Cds?
My name is Draxx...you simians may refer to me merely as \'sir\' for a less syllable-intensive workout.
Yes they do .
I am the uber duck!!1
Proxy Tools
Most of them do but check the spec to be sure.
-Simon \"SDK\"
Yeah most of them do burn CDs. But if you do decide to buy one, make sure it has the + and the _ under the +. That means it will burn and play both DVD-R(w)s, and DVD+R(w)s. And some might say dual format which is the same thing.
Major League Gaming
Burn Cd's... hmm no usualy Medium Rare.. havent had any with excess Carbon residue..
Sry for being a smart arse.. Go with the previous 2 replies.. check the specs..
Besides Cd-r and CD-RW
look for Dual Layer +R
as well as the usual single layer +/-R and +/-RW
You will find a small few with DVD-RAM support
but all that support.. the more they do more likley to break.. choose what you see you need..
"Consumer technology now exceeds the average persons ability to comprehend how to use it..give up hope of them being able to understand how it works." - Me http://www.cybercrypt.co.nr
Most of them SHOULD , but you may come across a very rare one that doesn't allow you to burn cd's. Your best sticking to a brand that's pretty popular then your guaranteed that it will work with cd's. But as I said it would be very rare to come across one that wont allow you to burn cd aswell as dvd.

In. Juli 2005, takt kunstprojektraum presented a performancer/installation by artist Jill Sigman, Rupture: Phase Two. This was the last exhibition in the first gallery space at Knorrpromenade 1.RUPTURE: PHASE TWO
RUPTURE: PHASE TWO is a part of a longterm reflection on breaking,
loss, and healing. New York-based choreographer, performer, and interdisciplinary
artist Jill Sigman creates a multi-media performance/installation involving
live movement, voice, and video for the takt gallery. The work draws
on Sigman's recent travels in India, a traumatic leg injury which left
her temporarily unable to walk, and images of Berlin, recorded and
integrated during the period of the installation. Sigman explores connections
between the architectural 'built' world, the political world,
and the human body, addressing themes of rupture, surgery, and division
on a personal, national, and global scale.
RUPTURE: PHASE TWO blurs the boundaries between an ongoing gallery exhibition and a time-delineated work of movement theatre. Sigman will performatively inhabit takt for periods of 5 hours, combining explorations of ritual, endurance, and the live performer as visual object . The exhibition period will be punctuated by two evening performance events, which will allow viewers to experience a more sociable environment and to participate interactively in the work.
Jill Sigman is a New York-based choreographer, performer, and multi-media artist whose work exists at the intersection of dance, theater, and visual installation. In 1998, she founded jill sigman/thinkdance to raise questions through the medium of the body. Juxtaposing movement with elements such as video, text, and light, Sigman creates layered landscapes of meaning, often employing non-traditional environments, formats, and ways of engaging the viewer.
Sigman's writing on dance has been published in the Journal of Philosophical Research and Midwest Studies in Philosophy, and she has been a guest editor of the Movement Research Performance Journal. She holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from Princeton University.

For the second straight game, the Los Angeles Kings used a strong third period to get a road victory.
Dwight King and Anze Kopitar scored third-period goals and Ben Scrivens made 26 saves to lift the Kings to a 2-0 win over the New Jersey Devils on Friday night.
Scrivens, playing for the injured Jonathan Quick, got a 3-2 win on Thursday over the Islanders when the Kings scored three times in the third period.
The Kings finish their New York City metropolitan area trip with a game at Madison Square Garden on Sunday against the Rangers.
"The confidence was there after winning on the island," Scrivens said. "It's obviously important to stop every shot."
Scrivens came up with 12 saves in the first period when he was tested by the Devils.
"We probably deserved to have one or two in the first period," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said. "We just didn't take advantage in the first. We're not a pretty group offensively. We have to score some ugly goals. We all feel for (Schneider) He can't do more than what he's doing. It's frustrating for all of us."
King's sixth goal of the season came at 13:08. Defenseman Jake Muzzin's drive from the left point was redirected by King, standing in front of goalie Cory Schneider.
"It came off a line change," King said. "They were battling on the wall and it got to the point, I was wide open at the net and he slid one on the ice and I got a stick on it. We came back last night and tonight. We had to find a way to win and that's what good teams do."
Kopitar scored an empty-net goal with 2.9 seconds left. Schneider made 19 saves.
"He's a solid goaltender," Kopitar said of Scrivens. "We got off to a little bit of a slow start and we kept building up our game, making plays. Eventually in the third, we got one."
Friday's game was the Kings' first visit to the Prudential Center since playing the Devils in the 2012 Stanley Cup finals.
The Kings nearly scored 7:33 into the third period. Muzzin centered a puck from the left side of the blue line. New Jersey defenseman Andy Greene put out his stick and deflected it on goal, where Schneider alertly made the save.
In the second period, defenseman Peter Harrold was whistled for a four-minute penalty when he was called for high sticking Tyler Toffoli of the Kings.
But King was penalized for hooking 50 seconds into the power play and sat for two minutes.
Harrold was the recipient of a hit to the head by Jordan Nolan with 1:31 left in the second.
The center put his shoulder down and leveled Harrold with a shot to the side of his head. Harrold was face-down on the ice, but, after play was stopped, he managed to skate off on his own. Harrold returned to regular shifts in the third period.
The Devils were the aggressors in the scoreless first period, but couldn't solve Scrivens.
"(Schneider) has played unbelievable for us so far this year and we haven't given him the goal support," Devils winger Stephen Gionta said. "I thought we played a pretty good controlled game in their end, but we could have gotten to the net a little more."
NOTES: The power-play goal by Kopitar in the closing seconds broke a string of 12 straight kills over three games by the Devils. ... Jaromir Jagr has 120 career game-winning goals, just one behind the NHL record held by Gordie Howe. ... Patrik Elias returned after a six-game absence for the Devils, who also got back Stephen Gionta.

The Back Nine comes at you after a solid weekend of hoops and football.
The Back Nine comes at you after a solid weekend of hoops and football. If there are any typos, it's because I'm typing after getting my pupils dilated. That's my excuse this week anyway.
10. So we finally had the chaos delivered into our college football laps on Saturday night, a night so crazy it sent Alabama fans pouring into the streets of Tuscaloosa in what has to be the first "We Beat Western Carolina" celebration. The Bama fans are right there with a shot at a third national title in four years and all the Crimson Tide have to do is beat the train wreck that is Auburn, beat Georgia in the SEC title game and they're in. Florida fans, meanwhile, have been presented with the unbelievable possibility of being there as well. They obviously would love it if Lane Kiffin won this weekend (another first), but the chances of that happening with Matt Barkley sidelined are not good. The better chance is that Georgia Tech springs an upset on Georgia, which then beats Alabama. But it's all contingent on Florida winning in Tallahassee and that may be the least likely of all these scenarios. Florida has scored five offensive touchdowns in its last four games and FSU's defense is better than Jacksonville State's. But, again, Gator fans, I ask you. If I had told you before the season you'd head to Tallahassee with a shot at playing for it all, I think you would have taken it.
11. Speaking of Kiffin, there were a lot of poor coaching seasons in college football. Derek Dooley was fired for his and Gene Chizik may get fired for his. Frank Beamer lost five of six games thanks in part to the Big Tease that is Logan Thomas. But for Southern Cal to lose four games and probably five after this Saturday is certainly a smudge mark on Kiffin's resume. A lot of people thought the Trojans might win it all this year, but they started off in the hole in so many games. That's coaching. Or a lack of it.
12. It's early, but it hasn't been a good week for the ACC. Maryland bolts for the Big Ten-ish and Miami decides not to go to a bowl. That means the ACC needs Virginia Tech to beat Virginia and Wake Forest to beat Vanderbilt to fill seven of its eight bowl commitments. It was the right move for Miami, however, If you don't think so, go ask Ohio State which foolishly played in the Gator Bowl last year because AD Gene Smith had convinced himself there would be no bowl ban. Now, the Buckeyes are unbeaten with nowhere to go.
13. One of the most interesting things about this weekend will be the battle of wits between Urban Meyer and Greg Mattison, now the defensive coordinator at Michigan. Mattison was one of the first people Meyer hired when he came to Florida. Not only is Mattison an excellent coach but one of the best guys you'll ever meet.
14. I like what I've seen from the Gator basketball team and especially Kenny Boynton. Seeing him take over the game late Sunday was fun to watch. I started thinking about this Sunday night — remember when he was coming in as a freshman and Billy Donovan cautioned everybody not to look at him as some kind of savior? The Gators had been to back-to-back NITs before Boynton arrived. They've been to three straight NCAAs with him and two straight Elite Eights. And he has created a new category in college basketball with the four-point play (he has 13 and should have had another Sunday).
15. My Sundays are rarely spent watching a lot of the NFL (especially with my fantasy team waving the white flag) but I watched a lot of the Jacksonville-Houston game and have to say that was great theater. One team with nothing to play for and it's starting quarterback and running back out against one of the elite teams in the league and it goes to overtime and plays are being made all over the field. You feel bad for coach Mike Mularkey, who just can't seem to catch a break. But I appreciated the entertainment.
16. I hope it's never taken for granted what a job Mary Wise does with Florida's volleyball team. In fact, she's better than ever considering how the rest of the league has stepped up in the last five or six years. To win 20 SEC titles, are you serious? That's a lot of rings. And Wise has also done a magnificent job of cultivating the volleyball culture in our community. Believe me, I see it all the time. Congrats also to my Kelsey, whose team won a championship at the Girls Place on Saturday morning. There is no better way to start a weekend than to see that kind of pure joy on the faces of a bunch of young ladies.
17. The Tweet of the Week belongs to CBSsportsline.com's national college football writer Dennis Dodd — "What we're seeing is a subset of BCS leagues being developed. First hit me when Orange Bowl deal was announced. B10 and SEC on different plane." The Revolution is not over yet. And to be honest, I'm not sure where it will end up.
18. Trying to get some weight off before the hip surgery so there have been some early mornings at the gym. I'm amazed how many people are working out at 5:30 a.m. Anyway, try these downloads — "Waving At Airplanes" by Guided By Voice, "Let The Day Begin" by The Call and for the old school in you "Life's A Long Song" by Jethro Tull. Yep, learned it over the weekend.

Rafael Marquez, from Mexico, a top player from FC Barcelona, tries out the new Sara Delano Roosevelt field with local kids.
Stars shine through rain at soccer field dedication
By Judith Stiles
Without a permit, playing pickup soccer games in New York City often means settling for asphalt surfaces, wedged in between basketball games, where backpacks are plunked on the ground in lieu of goalposts. This is why children of all ages are delighted with their brand-new turf soccer field on the corner of Stanton and Chrystie Sts., replete with yellow lines and six new nets. Nike in partnership with FieldTurf International Inc. refurbished this grungy park and transformed it into a place where neighborhood kids could get a chance to play joga bonita, aka the beautiful game.
Unlike other ball fields with artificial surfaces, the tiny black rubber beads sprinkled among the green artificial grass are not just bits of old truck tires. Rather, they are ground up particles from recycled sneakers that Nike collects to use for this purpose. This makes for great drainage, which Nike desperately needed in the sudden rainstorm that exploded with lightning, during the dedication ceremonies at Sara D. Roosevelt Park. Soccer fans had packed this Lower East Side field to catch a glimpse of the superstars from the FC Barcelona team, including Ronaldinho, Etoo, Marquez and Messi. But not even the welcoming words of Deputy Commissioner Andrew Gould of the New York City Sports Commission could hold back the torrents of rain long enough to complete the ceremonies. The super talent of F.C. Barcelona Ronaldinho and Etoo actually were absent were introduced by actress Julia Stiles, who herself had suffered playing soccer on rocky dirt fields Downtown, over a decade ago. When the lightning and rain subsided, kids played small-sided games with the stars, and then fans went wild as the players tossed brand-new giveaway Nike balls into the crowd.
The resurfacing of Sara D. Roosevelt Park is part of a campaign by Nike and FieldTurf to create new soccer fields in 15 different communities in New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago.
There are not a lot of open spaces in urban areas for kids to play soccer, said Nike spokesperson Morgan Shaw. She added that this new field for the community is part of the larger Nike Go Program, under which $5 million has been designated to also refurbish regulation-size fields in urban areas.
This five-year program was created in partnership with the U.S. Soccer Foundation to bring soccer to under-privileged areas, said Shaw.
And when the kids grow out of their sneakers, you can drop them off at Niketown at 6 E. 57th St., where the rubber soles will be ground up and recycled for another new field in town, a fitting reincarnation for the beautiful game.

Kitchen Tools on Display
Most kitchen tools can actually be quite beautiful. And storing them out in the open means they're easy to just grab when you need them. Considering those points alongside these images, I'm seriously thinking of cleaning out my drawers and putting my kitchen tools up on the wall:
When displayed with care, as in the examples pictured, kitchen tools become specimens of daily life. I am particularly fond of the wooden spice shelf with hanging utensils in the first image above. And the fourth image finally answers for me how to store the food processor blade!
What do you think? Does this expose tools to too much kitchen grime or is it the perfect way to store oft-used utensils?

civil disobedience
Leave it to Cory Doctorow, author, blogger, and technology activist-extraordinaire, to weave a story that successfully blends coming-of-age woes, homelessness, national politics, copyright law, cooking, gadgetry, love, overcoming homophobia, civil disobedience, film-making, mashups, public speaking, the judicial system, beer and coffee brewing, cryptography, and oh so, so much more into a wonderfully geeky, heart-wrenching, page-turning bang-up novel that people of all ages should read. This book is full of such big, exquisite ideas to learn about that you'll be Googling your fingers off through the entire story and I mean that in the best way possible. You will learn reading Pirate Cinema and you will love this as much as you love the characters.

With the return of wintry weather there's little chance of finding many flying insects at the moment so - when not pruning or planting up hedge gaps in the Wildlife Garden - we've been focusing on animals found at ground level under stones, logs, leaf litter and within pitfall traps (n.b. more about pitfall traps another time). Amongst these animals, woodlice are a rewarding group to study as some of us learnt at a Woodlouse Workshop we attended a week ago last Sunday.
The study day, held in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity, was led by Museum scientists Miranda Lowe and Duncan Sivell and covered an introduction to woodlouse anatomy and classification, as well as ecology and recording methods. Below are just a few of the many interesting facts we learnt:
Woodlice are crustaceans and are related to crabs, lobsters and shrimps. They belong to a group called Isopoda which means 'equal legs'. Most Isopoda are marine animals but woodlice are one of the few groups of crustaceans that have adapted successfully to life on land. They live in damp dark places, beneath logs, stones or leaf litter, where they feed on rotting wood and other decaying vegetable matter, helping to recycle nutrients back into the soil.
Miranda described their basic anatomy, general body form, and some of the diagnostic features that help to distinguish between the different species. Woodlice have an oval flattened body which will vary in colour and form depending on the species, and seven pairs of legs (pereopods).

The general body form of the different genuses explains some of their behaviour – there are six types: runner, clinger, roller, creeper, spiny form and non-conformist, of which the first four only are found in Britain. When you pick up a woodlouse, you may recognise it by its body form - for example, if disturbed, the common pill woodlouse, Armadillidium vulgare, will roll into a ball. Conversely, a common striped woodlouse, Philoscia muscorum, is a definite runner ...

Apart from body form, shape and colour, another useful diagnostic feature is the antennae and it is important to examine the individual sections. For example, the common rough woodlouse, Porcello scaber, has a flagellum (end section of an antennae) made up of 2 segments whereas the common striped woodlouse has a 3-segmented flagellum. We were equipped with microscopes to observe these finer details.

These woodlice are three of the five species most commonly found in gardens - together with the other two species, they are known as the 'Famous Five'. The remaining two in this club are common pigmy woodlouse, Trichoniscus pusillus, and the common shiny woodlouse, Oniscus asellus.

The different body form and characters may explain many of the affectionate, common names that woodlice have acquired throughout the ages and in different parts of the country. Duncan introduced us to some of these names such as slater where he comes from in the north, bibble-bug, cheese-pig, roly-poly and chuggy pig. The authors of Bugs Britannica discovered 80 nicknames for woodlice!
Duncan also told us more about the favourite habitats of woodlice and how to collect and record the different species. We explored the dark and damp underside of logs, leaf litter and compost bins in the Wildlife Garden and returned to the lab to identify our collection.

In our brief foray in the bitter wind, we found 5 different species - four of the Famous Five and Porcellio dilatatus. We know there are at least seven different species in the garden in addition to the honourary woodlouse, the landhopper, Arcitralitrus dorrieni.
But this is just a taster of the some of the fascinating facts and details we learnt about these endearing little animals. At a later date Miranda will write about the landhopper which has made itself at home in the Wildlife Garden.
Thank you Miranda and Duncan

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Moderate levels of exercise are often prescribed for people recovering from a heart attack or heart surgery, but a new study finds that pumping up workouts to high intensity levels might be a safe option too.
Among 4,800 Norwegian heart patients, who racked up a combined total of over 170,000 hours of aerobic exercise, researchers found three cardiac arrests occurred during workouts and only one was fatal.
The number was too small to say for sure that high impact workouts are just as safe as moderate ones, but they show the overall risk of exercise bringing on cardiac arrest is fairly low, according to the authors.
"I think we're on the right track, but before we make it a standard recommendation, let's get our safety data," said Dr. Steven Keteyian, the director of preventive cardiology at Henry Ford Hospital in Michigan, who was not involved in the study.
There is plenty of evidence that the harder people work out, the more benefit they gain in cardiovascular function, said Oeivind Rognmo, a researcher at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim and lead author of the study.
It's therefore appealing to see whether heart patients could benefit from high-intensity exercise, he says.
The concern for heart patients, however, is that greater exertion comes with a small increased risk of a heart malfunction.
Rognmo and his colleagues wanted to see if people recovering from a heart problem who participate in harder workouts are at greater risk of a heart "event."
The researchers tracked 4,846 patients at three cardiac rehabilitation centers in Norway.
Cardiac rehab involves follow-up medical and lifestyle care to help people recover from a heart attack, heart failure or a heart surgery.
The researchers found that the people in rehab spent a combined total of 129,456 hours working out at moderate intensity and 46,364 hours at high intensity.
All people in the study participated in both types of exercise.
The moderately paced workouts included an hour of walking or other exercise that resulted in exertion at about 60-70 percent of people's maximum heart rate.
At high intensity, people trained with repeated four-minute intervals - four minutes of high impact exercise, such as cycling, jogging or cross country skiing, to get the heart rate up to 85-95 percent of maximum exertion, followed by four minutes of a more relaxed activity, such as walking.
Rognmo and his colleagues analyzed how many times people experienced a heart attack or cardiac arrest during exercise or within an hour afterward.
During the more than 129,000 hours the patients spent exercising moderately, one person died from cardiac arrest.
During over 46,000 hours of high-intensity workouts, two people had cardiac arrest but survived.
"We found that both types of intensities were associated with low event rates," said Rognmo. "I think (high intensity training) should be considered for patients with coronary heart disease."
The rates of heart events seen translate to one per 129,456 hours of moderate exercise by patients and one per 23,182 hours of high intensity exercise.
Rognmo and his colleagues write in their report in the medical journal Circulation that the differences in the number of cardiac arrests during moderate and high intensity exercise were too small to conclude whether high intensity exercise is more dangerous than less demanding workouts.
Because of this uncertainty, Keteyian said high intensity exercise is not yet ready to be broadly recommended.
"I don't think we're ready for prime time because there's a little bit of a difference between the two groups, but it's too small to even say from their study (whether it's meaningful), so we just need more data," Keteyian told Reuters Health.
Keteyian said he recommends that people stick to the current guidelines of keeping exercise to moderate intensity until more safety data show that high intensity workouts are just as safe.

Scholarship applications can be submitted until the end of January 2009
The "SpaceLife" programme of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is the winning entry in response to a call for proposals by the Helmholtz Association (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft) for research scholarship programmes for early-stage researchers, beating competing entries from other Helmholtz Centres. The programme proposed by the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine (DLR-Institut für Luft- und Raumfahrtmedizin) will receive funding amounting to 1.8 million euro over a period of six years. Together with additional funds made available by the DLR executive for space research and development, this will allow a scholarship scheme to be set up as of April 2009 for 13 excellent graduates wishing to undertake doctoral research.
Using the Helmholtz funds, the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Cologne, in collaboration with the universities of Aachen, Bonn, Kiel, Regensburg and the German Sport University Cologne, will establish the first Helmholtz Research School at DLR: an intensive training programme for early-stage researchers from Germany as well as from abroad.
"SpaceLife" will enable young researchers to do interdisciplinary research work in the fields of radiation biology, gravitational biology, and astrobiology, or space physiology and space psychology. The programme is complemented by national and international conferences, as well as scientific seminars and personality development training. "We place the young graduates in internationally renowned research groups. Participation in the programme will have a profound impact on the education of young scientists," says DLR's Dr Christine Hellweg, the coordinator for the Research School.
The area of space physiology can serve as an example of the research projects covered by the programme. The aim here is to optimise physiological and biomechanical parameters for training leg muscles in weightlessness. This joint project with the German Sport University Cologne investigates new methods for leg muscle training in space. In the context of this project, a combination of a drive system developed by robotic engineers with a lower body negative pressure device will be used for the first time. Due to weightlessness in space, blood supply to the leg muscles of astronauts is reduced. Moreover, the lack of gravitational pull leads to a reduced muscular load in the legs. These factors have a decisive impact on muscle training in space. The new training methods developed in this project should enable an optimal muscular load, which in turn should optimise the blood supply in the legs. This requires new technological solutions, as well as a more profound understanding of biomechanical and physiological processes, to be obtained through the joint efforts of engineers and scientists in the fields of medical engineering, medicine, biology and sports science.
A brochure published by the Institute of Aerospace Medicine provides an overview of the research areas covered by the programme. A wide range of potential doctoral thesis topics is available. Graduates with a previous degree in sciences, psychology, sports science or nutritional science who are interested in the programme can apply for a scholarship until the end of January 2009. The contact person for applications is Ms Anna-Maria Trautmann.

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) – Natalie Gulbis will return to play in the Kraft Nabisco Championship after recovering from malaria.
Infected by a mosquito during the LPGA Thailand event, Gulbis withdrew after the first round the following week in Singapore. She hoped to return two weeks ago in Carlsbad at the Kia Classic, but was back in the doctor's office after a practice round.
"It's been a pretty rough month,'' Gulbis said Wednesday, a day before the start of play in the first major championship of the year. "I've been trying to play, and then I'll fall back and rest for a couple of days, and then I try to play again, and I'm back to square one. Hopefully, I'm past that part and I'm doing better every day.
"I'm just so excited to be back. Not only to be back here in this event, but back playing golf. I mean, yesterday was the first time I've played 18 holes since Singapore, and I really missed being on the golf course.''
She was looking forward to playing in 90-degree heat at Mission Hills.
"I love the heat,'' Gulbis said. "I'm a California girl who went to school in Arizona and lives in Las Vegas. So the heat feels great and I love being out in the heat. This is a good test for everybody out here this week. It's going to be hot. It's a major championship. It's a tough golf course, and we have to be well prepared.''
The 30-year-old Gulbis won the 2007 Evian Masters for her lone LPGA Tour title.
PUTTING PERSPECTIVE: I.K. Kim is back at Mission Hills, a year after missing a 1-foot putt on the final hole of regulation to blow a one-stroke lead.
"You got to just pick yourself up and be tough and just move on,'' Kim said. "Don't really feel sorry for yourself, because it's life. You have to be happy and enjoy what you have.''
She ended up losing when fellow South Korean player Sun Young Yoo made an 18-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff.
"I learned a lot,'' Kim said. "I think last year was big turning point of my life of learning and what's really important. It just gave me different view of it.
"It was tough to handle at first, but I think it's important not only to the viewers and the people, but to let other people, younger generation, to know that it's not always going to be glorious and like victory. Life is not about winning or losing. When you're 80 and look back, you're not going to remember, `Oh, I should have made that putt.'''
Kim is coming off a playoff loss to Beatriz Recari in the Kia Classic.
"Even Stephen Hawking said in the time travel you cannot go back and do things backwards again, so you just got to live today,'' Kim said. "We're human. We remember things good or bad. You sometimes live in that memory, and I don't want to be that person.''
STARRING ROLE: Top-ranked Stacy Lewis is getting used to the spotlight.
"I guess I'm just more comfortable with who I am and more comfortable being in front of people,'' Lewis said. "I mean, certainly I think the kid that went to college and didn't speak unless spoken to would not be up on this stage right now. It's something I've had to learn how to do, just when you play good golf.''
The 28-year-old Texas won consecutive tournaments this year in Singapore and Phoenix to take the No. 1 spot in the world. She won the 2011 Kraft Nabisco for her first LPGA Tour title and had four victories last season to become the tour's player of the year.
On Monday night at the pro-am party, she wore a one-shoulder patterned dress and heels.
"That's probably the place I'm least comfortable because it's not my style at all,'' Lewis said. "I'm more comfortable in jeans, a T-shirt, and flip flops. I'm getting used to it. Having some help from my sisters, that definitely helps the process a little bit.
"But I realize it's part of what makes this tour successful and part of the deal when you get to the top. You kind of have to do it. I actually picked out that dress all by myself. They should be pretty impressed with that.''
DIVOTS: Fourteen-year-old Angel Lin shot a 67 in the Legends Junior Challenge on Tuesday to earn a spot in the field. Lin is from Arcadia, Calif. … The event, first played in 1972 as the Colgate Dinah Shore, became a major in 1983.

on this page:
The Master of Arts in Educational Psychology meets the academic requirements for New York State Professional Teaching Certification and is designed to explore what is known about teaching and learning and to actively practice implementing that knowledge in educational settings.
The M.A. in Educational Psychology program has two tracks. The first track meets the academic requirements for application to Professional Certification in Childhood Education (grades 1-6) for candidates with initial teacher certification in this area. The second track meets the academic requirements for application to Professional Certification in Adolescent Education (grades 7-12) and is designed for candidates who possess initial certification in one of the Adolescence Education areas: History, Science (Biology or Chemistry), Mathematics, Languages (French or Spanish), and English. Also, the second track meets the academic requirements for initial and professional certification in Middle School Extension (grades 5-6). Upon completing the M.A. in Educational Psychology program, candidates applying for the Professional Teaching Certification in Adolescence Education will thus meet the master's degree requirements for Middle School Extension (grades 5-6).
Both tracks of the M.A. in Educational Psychology entail the successful completion of 36 credit hours of coursework. Both tracks are oriented around a pedagogical core curriculum described below. All candidates complete this Pedagogical Core curriculum and other required courses as listed in the Curriculum Summary section.
In addition, all teacher education candidates in order to graduate with a Masters degree are required to complete, submit, and defend an electronic portfolio based on the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards, as their capstone project for completing the Masters program. The electronic portfolio demonstrates the professional knowledge and skills candidates have developed across the program. This is a multimedia, standards-based document that is stored online. An early course - Content Area Assessment and Portfolio Development, (EPSY 506) prepares candidates to use the online Marist system for portfolio development. Candidates are required, in their last semester in the program, to participate in meetings across the semester in order to receive guidance and help to complete their electronic portfolio. Candidates will complete, submit, and defend their electronic portfolio in front of an evaluation committee, no later than five years from matriculation. Completion is recorded when the portfolio is passed. Passing the electronic portfolio is a requirement for the Masters degree.
The teacher education programs at Marist College are designed to develop candidates who are reflective professionals. The program of study integrates a strong critical perspective and liberal arts foundation with research-validated pedagogical knowledge. As members of a community of learners, candidates are expected to master the personal and professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to teach and assess K-12 students within the full range of abilities, to evaluate and improve teaching, to develop creative standards-based curricula, and to contribute as effective teachers and leaders in their schools and communities. The roles of research and technology and the importance of critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and multicultural and global perspectives are emphasized.
The M.A. in Educational Psychology program reflects the particular areas of focus for which Marist College teacher education is widely noted, and is defined by our Conceptual Framework.
The Conceptual Framework of the Teacher Education programs identifies its purpose as preparing reflective professionals who think critically and work collaboratively to help all students learn, and is also consistent with Marist's three ideals: excellence in education; sense of community; and commitment to service. This purpose is further defined in the seven core values/beliefs listed below:
In keeping with Marist's commitment to excellence in education, the program strives to prepare school professionals who:
-Use critical thinking and creative problem-solving in their professional practice.
-Are reflective professionals who examine their practice and seek to improve it in a process of continual professional development.
-Use evidence-based practices, adapted to the demands of the specific professional contexts.
In keeping with Marist's commitment to a sense of community, the program strives to prepare school professionals who:
-Are active members of collaborative teams, and work across disciplines.
-Build relationships that support student learning and well-being.
In keeping with Marist's commitment to service and promoting the dignity and value of every human being, the program strives to prepare school professionals who:
-Promote justice, equity, and access for all students while working to improve schools.
-Base their practice on an understanding of the diversity in human development and cognitive functioning as it impacts learning.
Marist Initial Teaching Standards are based on the INTASC standards and NY State requirements and closely represent our Conceptual Framework in the 12 standards listed below:
Standard 1: The candidate understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry and structures of the discipline(s) within the context of a global society and creates learning experiences that make these aspects of subject matter meaningful for students.
Standard 2: The candidate understands how students learn and develop, and provides learning opportunities that support the intellectual, social, and personal development of all students.
Standard 3: The candidate understands how students differ in their approaches to learning and creates instructional opportunities that are adapted to diverse learners.
Standard 4: The candidate recognizes the importance of long-range planning and curriculum development and develops, implements, and evaluates curriculum based upon student, district, and state performance standards.
Standard 5: The candidate uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage students' development of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills.
Standard 6: The candidate has awareness of the different aspects of literacy development and related teaching procedures for both Native English speakers and students who are English language learners.
Standard 7: The candidate understands and can apply disciplinary knowledge from the humanities and social sciences to interpreting, and bringing normative and critical perspectives to bear on, the meanings of education and schooling in diverse cultural contexts.
Standard 8: The candidate uses an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation.
Standard 9: The candidate models effective verbal, nonverbal, and media communication techniques to foster active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the classroom.
Standard 10: The candidate understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the learner.
Standard 11: The candidate is a reflective practitioner who continually assesses the effects of choices and actions on others. This reflective practitioner actively seeks out opportunities to grow professionally and utilizes the assessment and professional growth to generate more learning for more students.
Standard 12: The candidate fosters relationships with school colleagues, parents, and educational partners in the larger community to support student learning and well-being.
ADVANCED TEACHING STANDARDS (National Board for Professional Teaching Standards®)
The five major core standards represent what teachers should know and be able to do, and represent the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards® Policy Position:
1. Teachers are committed to students and their learning.
2. Teachers know the subjects they teach and how to teach those subjects to students.
3. Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning.
4. Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn from experience.
5. Teachers are members of learning communities.
The course of study in the Master of Arts program supports the core values of Marist College identified in the institutional Mission Statement. The Master of Arts program is designed around courses and experiences that help teachers expand and build on their professional knowledge and skills. The goal is to prepare innovative, flexible teachers who are collaborative, reflective, and well grounded in current theories, contemporary professional practices, and innovative teaching strategies. The program is oriented around a fifteen credit hour pedagogical core curriculum that cuts across five essential areas of knowledge and skill needed by teachers: 1) Art and Science of Teaching, 2) The Learner, 3) Literacy, 4) Foundations, Context and Purpose, 5) Research and Inquiry.
1. Art and Science of Teaching
Teaching comprises an ever-changing, unique combination of scientific reasoning and artistry intended to promote the highest level of student achievement. Skills that foster student motivation, communication, self-worth, and content mastery provide a foundation for developing artistry to further enhance the learning experience. This domain encourages students to explore the techniques of teaching while developing effective teaching styles consistent with their individual personalities.
2. The Learner
At the center of all education is the learner. In order to provide effective education to all learners, teachers need to understand the specific learning needs of each student, and how those learning needs are affected by differences in development, temperament, cognitive functioning, and social, economic, and cultural contexts. In this domain, contemporary psychological theory and research are applied to learners in the context of the study of development, assessment, and learning. Study in this domain allows educators to create classroom learning communities where everyone, including teachers, are unique and respected learners who participate actively in their own education.
3. Literacy
This domain is the cornerstone of all teaching and learning. Here teachers acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for teaching others to become critically literate in all six domains of literacy: reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing, and visually representing. Furthermore, teachers learn to appreciate how the acquisition of critical literacy is a necessary requisite for a lifetime of growth and empowerment. A wide variety of theoretical and practical matters pertaining to literacy are explored in this domain.
4. Foundations, Context, and Purpose
The purpose and meaning of any educational activity is not a given, but must be constructed, articulated, and justified within the particular context in which it occurs. Teachers and other educational professionals must, therefore, have a deep awareness of this context—including its cultural, historical, linguistic, technological, and philosophical roots—in order to engage in purposeful and meaningful teaching. This essential domain of study prepares teachers who are able to reflect critically on teaching practices and educational policies in light of their complex relations to the environing culture. This study aims to equip teachers to make sense of classroom practices through an understanding of the larger social context in which these classrooms are embedded.
5. Research and Inquiry
Teachers, in order to be effective, must be adept researchers and they must be actively engaged in meaningful forms of inquiry. Moreover, teachers must have the capacity to critically examine various research claims and to assess the relative worth of such claims to understanding their own classroom practice and environment, which includes using technology to obtain and evaluate information from the Internet.
Teachers must also be able to foster research skills in their own students and create a learning environment that encourages inquiry and critical thinking. This domain gives teachers experience from which to sharpen their expertise in this key area.
Admissions Requirements for the Master of Arts in Educational Psychology are:
- an earned baccalaureate degree from an accredited university;
- minimum grade-point average of 3.0;
- copy of initial teacher certificate;
- a current résumé;
- submission of a written personal essay describing the applicant's background, experiences, and goals, and how these factors relate to the person's work in education;
- two letters of recommendation and where applicable, letter of recommendation from a school principal or from former professors;
- interview with the Director of the Graduate Education programs, which includes a short written task.
NOTE: Cooperating teachers who take graduate education courses as an exchange of a teaching voucher need only to complete an application form, to provide a statement that the course they intend to take is a voucher exchange, submit the original voucher, and receive permission from the Program Director who will advise on the appropriate course. There is no limit to the number of graduate courses a cooperating teacher with a valid voucher may take; however; if the person later decides to become a degree candidate, he/she must then satisfy the requirements for matriculation. It is important to note that a maximum of nine (9) credits may be applied toward the degree using courses taken with a voucher.
-Acceptance of credits will be determined on an individual basis.
-No more than six (6) graduate credits will be accepted from another institution.
-A grade of B or better is required for acceptance of any transfer credits.
To qualify for the Master's degree in Educational Psychology, a student must:
- Complete all program requirements not later than five years after matriculation;
- Maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average in graduate courses; and maintain appropriate dispositions associated with responsibilities of a classroom teacher;
- Complete a total of 36 credits as prescribed in the curriculum requirements;
- Complete, present, defend, and pass an electronic portfolio to the satisfaction of the portfolio evaluation committee during the candidate's final semester.
At the time of matriculation, each student will meet with the Director of Graduate Programs to design a Study Plan which candidates are to follow. Candidates will have regular meetings with the Director of Graduate Programs for purposes of discussing academic progress and planning.
Candidates who fail to maintain a 3.0 or higher grade-point average, or do not demonstrate the dispositions necessary to assume the responsibilities of a classroom teacher, will be subject to review by the Teacher Education Candidate Review Board (TECRB) and may be placed on probation or dismissed from the program.
A minimum GPA of 3.0 and no more than one grade of C+ in graduate courses attempted are requirements for graduation. If at any time the student's GPA falls below 3.0, or has more than one grade in the range of C in graduate courses, the student will be sent a letter notifying him/her of academic review. Academic review will result in assignment of probationary status or dismissal.
A student on probation is expected to take immediate steps to raise his or her GPA. This can be done by (1) earning enough grades of B+ or A, or (2) retaking the course(s) in which a grade of C+ or below was earned and achieving a B or better in this course. NOTE: while a grade of B in any subsequent course may raise a GPA that is below 3.0, it may not by itself be sufficient to raise the GPA to 3.0 or above.
A student is allowed up to 12 credit hours of work to raise his or her GPA above 3.0 after being placed on probation. If after attempting 12 credit hours the GPA has not been raised to 3.0, the student will be dismissed from the program. Any dispositions that are in obvious deviation from the teacher candidate dispositions stated in accordance with our Conceptual Framework and teaching standards may result in assignment of probationary status or dismissal. The candidate will be informed of any decision or recommendation by the TECRB. Teacher candidates will be presented with a list of expected dispositions at matriculation to the program.
Fall: April 15
Summer: April 1 (for the Hybrid program)
The Master of Arts in Educational Psychology degree program is designed with three delivery models: fully on campus,
hybrid (on campus and online), and 5-year BA/MA.
On-campus model: takes place on the Poughkeepsie campus, and coursework may be completed either through full-time or
part-time study. Candidates are accepted in the fall. A limited number of courses are offered in the summers. The program is designed so that it can be completed by a full-time student in three to four semesters, completing 9 or 12 credits each semester. A full-time student usually attends evening classes and takes 9 credits per semester. Each course is worth three credits and meets one evening per week, and some online course opportunities. Part-time students must complete the program within five years from first matriculation in the program. Study plans can be customized for individual student needs. Some courses are offered both fall and spring, other courses are offered only fall or only spring. The study plans will reflect the order of course offerings. Study plans are customized according to individual needs and availability of courses. Due to course availability and course planning, candidates in collaboration with the Director of Graduate Programs will design a study plan for each student upon their acceptance into the program. Candidates should follow the study plan and consult with the director for any changes.
Hybrid model: is a cohort-based program model. Students start the hybrid model only in summers. This unique 36-credit program is designed to be completed in two years, with two courses completed each semester: summer, fall, and spring. In recognition of the busy and tightly scheduled lives of professional educators today, the program takes advantage of the superior online resources of Marist to combine short, two-week summer sessions on the beautiful campus in Poughkeepsie with online work during the rest of the summer session and the entire length of fall and spring semesters. There are two short summer sessions held at the Marist campus. The summer sessions will take place on campus for two weeks and continue online for other three weeks. All fall and spring semester courses are delivered online. Marist has a long history of collaborative research and development, including Marist/IBM collaboration, to build outstanding online learning environments. As a result Marist now has cutting-edge technology platforms and includes the traditional services of email, chat, discussion groups, web servers, as well as iLearn, a dynamic and flexible system for offering online coursework. This graduate program takes full advantage of these resources. Because this is a cohort-based model, courses are offered in a specified sequence and candidates follow the already set cohort program. Since this is a very intensive program in a hybrid model, students must have good self-management and organization skills.
5-year BA/MA in Educational Psychology model: This model is an extension of the Marist undergraduate Dual Certificate Program in Childhood grades 1-6/Students with Disabilities grades 1-6. Outstanding, academically successful (minimum of 3.2 GPA), and highly motivated Marist undergraduate students in Psychology and the Dual-Certificate education program may consider applying to the five-year program which combines the Psychology in Childhood 1-6/Students with Disabilities 1-6 undergraduate program with the M.A. in Educational Psychology program. Marist students in the five-year program will receive a B.A. in Psychology, earn a New York State Initial Teaching Certificate in Childhood Education 1-6/Students with Disabilities grades 1-6, as well as an M.A. in Educational Psychology. The five-year program is a 36-credit graduate program. In this program candidates complete 12 credits of graduate courses starting in the spring semester of their junior year, prior to the completion of the B.A. degree program. Student teaching will be completed in the Spring semester of their senior year as part of the B.A. degree requirement. The remaining 24 credits are completed in the fifth year, with graduate student status. Admission to this program is granted to qualified applicants in the fall semester of their junior year. The program is a cohort-based program and fits only for undergraduate students who graduate with their Bachelor's in spring. Application should be submitted in the junior year in the fall semester.
Application Deadlines:
Junior year Fall semester deadline is September 15.
If you are abroad in the Fall semester of your Junior year then please apply in the Spring semester of your Sophomore year by April 15.

US mobilises fish in war on terror
Bluegills versus al-Qaeda
The US has responded to the possible threat of terror attack against its drinking water supplies by using fish to monitor the state of the H2O, the BBC reports.
New York, San Francisco and Washington now boast tanks containing small numbers of bluegills, aka sunfish, into which muncipal water is constantly pumped. A computer system "registers changes in the fishes' vital signs" and when something is amiss sends an alert via email, pager, or "fish phone" mobile device.
Bill Lawler, co-founder of San Diego-based Intelligent Automation Corporation, which makes the "Intelligent Aquatic BioMonitoring System", said: "It's like an early warning system - it acts as another line of defence."
The New York blugill terror vigilantes have already earned their keep - they recently detected a diesel spill in the water supply before any of the Department of Environmental Protection's other monitoring equipment sprang into action.
They do, however, have their limitations. The BBC rather brilliantly notes they "cannot reliably detect germs and are no use against other sorts of attacks - the bombing of a water main, or computer hackers attacking the systems that control the flow of water". ®

The NESS H200 uses functional electrical stimulation to improve upper extremity rehabilitation. The device surrounds a patient's hand and forearm to provide proper position and stimulates the hand to retrain movement. Therapeutic treatment programs and functional modes are preprogrammed, providing the clinician and the patient control over the desired hand activation.
Once the NESS H200 is fitted on a patient, movement can begin immediately, offering an encouraging experience for renewed hope. Using the NESS H200, patients can practice grasping and releasing objects, while also performing activities of daily living. With consistent treatment, patients can regain range of motion, while further reducing spasticity.

text: RUSH: Salena Zito, one of the first in the media to correctly identify the strengths of Donald Trump via his voters and why they think and support Trump the way they do. She's on CNN. She's got a contract there. She's an analyst, a commentator, shows up now and then. She was on This Morning with Poppy Harlow. They're talking about Trump's rhetoric and how much damage, Bob Corker and the IQ test with Tillerson and all that. And Poppy Harlow said this to Salena: "Salena, we've seen friends of Trump try to communicate to him through the media. You know about the president's base. You spent a lot of time reporting on 'em. Do you think Barrack is right when he says that Trump does not have a base? And if he's not, does the base support Trump in spite of or because of his language and his tweets?" ZITO: I think they support him in spite and because of the comments. As far as his base going anywhere, he does have an unnatural base in that it's in a really interesting alignment of different kinds of people, a lot of people, as you know, we missed during the election. But I haven't seen any evidence of them going anywhere yet, but that doesn't mean they won't. I think if he becomes part of the swamp, that's gonna become his biggest problem. RUSH: Bingo. It's only Trump that can drive his audience away, and the fastest way he could would be to become part of the swamp. But note the question here. The Barrack she's talking about is Tom Barrack, presidential inaugural committee chairman, not Barack Obama. "Do you think that Barrack is right when he says that Trump doesn't have a base, and if he's not right, do they support him in spite of or because of his language --" these people at CNN haven't the slightest. It still doesn't make sense to them that Trump has any supporters. Trump is so embarrassing to them, Trump is so pathetic to them, they can't understand anybody liking Trump. And they are journalists. They're supposed to be curious and all-knowing, and they've got closed minds. And rather than find out what they don't know, they ridicule what people think that doesn't make sense to them.

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. – The Maid of the Mist boat tours, a Niagara Falls tourist attraction for more than 150 years, are set to resume.
The company plans to launch its boats from the U.S. and Canadian side of the Niagara River at 10 a.m. Friday. The launch is a week later than last year, but it's another early start for the season because of favorable ice conditions on Lake Erie.
The Maid of the Mist boats have been giving tourists an up-close view of Niagara Falls since 1846.
This will be the last year for Maid of the Mist cruises leaving from the Canadian side of the Falls. The Niagara Parks Commission awarded the Canadian boat tour contract to Hornblower Canada beginning in 2014. The Maid of the Mist still holds the New York-side contract.

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Eight patients who may have been exposed to a fatal brain disease at a New Hampshire hospital have been contacted by the hospital's president, who said Thursday the patients aren't panicking.
Dr. Joseph Pepe called the Catholic Medical Center patients a day after health officials announced that they may have been exposed to Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease — a brain disease characterized by rapidly progressive dementia which can cause death within months after symptoms first appearing. It has no treatment or cure.
Officials believe the extremely rare disease caused the August death of a patient who had brain surgery at the hospital in May, although the cause of death won't be certain until more tests are completed. If that patient had Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, there's a remote chance it was transmitted to other brain surgery patients because the abnormal proteins that cause the disease can survive standard sterilization practices.
In addition to the eight Catholic Medical Center patients, health officials in Massachusetts said five patients there may have also been exposed because a specialized instrument used on the New Hampshire patient had been rented and reused at Cape Cod Hospital.
The Massachusetts patients have also been notified but are believed to be at low risk because they had spinal procedures, not brain surgery, the state health department said.
About 200 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are recorded annually in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health, with the vast majority occurring spontaneously. In fewer than 1 percent of cases, the disease is transmitted by exposure to brain or nervous system tissue, and there have been only four reported cases of transmission via surgical instruments. None of those were in the United States, and the most recent case was in 1976, Pepe said.
Some hospitals might opt not to tell patients because of the low risk involved and the anxiety it could create for them, Pepe said, but it was important to keep them informed.
"We felt the risk of that anxiety did not outweigh the ethical principle of letting them know and also preventing them from possibly contaminating or exposing others should they have another brain operation," Pepe said.
The only definitive way to diagnose the disease is through a brain biopsy or autopsy. There are no screening tests, and tests that would point toward a diagnosis of the disease are only effective once symptoms such as memory loss and impaired coordination appear, Pepe said.
But he said the patients he spoke to are responding to their predicament calmly. One expressed more concern the hospital or its surgeons would be harmed by the publicity over the incident, Pepe said.
"They are all fine at this point, but I let them know that they can not only call my chief medical officer and the patient advocate ... but also myself, and we will stay with them as long as they need us," he said, adding that he apologized for causing them any anxiety.
The hospital will arrange counseling sessions if any of the patients request them, he said.
"Some may get angry later on, they may have anxiety, and then there are others who do not think anything of it," he said. "One person said, 'You know, I have really many other things more concerning than this.'"
