"Past Presence; Pleiotropy & the impossible cycle of being" is a collection of prose poems telling the stories of strangers and self from Magpie's experiences of hitchhiking over 25,000km across North America in her late teens and early twenties. The 40 minute piece is a condensed, yet expansive piece of writing exploring the themes of adaptations, space, fear, faith, place, othering and the act of storytelling while following a rich Canadian landscape. As a performance, the project crosses the boundaries between spoken word, performance poetry and theatre with a reflective yet explosive eclectic electric soundtrack composed by James Lamb.
A Live recording from the Kootenay Storytelling Festival 2014 available for purchase at:
Thank you to Gregor Asch and J Greg Walters at Kootenay Sound Studios in Nelson, BC
"…the most captivating and original spoken word performance I have seen in years. Years of hitchhiking, memories and life lessons are distilled in a series of stories that are simultaneously life-affirming, terrifying and simply brilliant. Go see this show. For the sake of all things poetry, go see this show."- Charles Hamilton, founder Tonight it's Poetry – Saskatoon
"Every time I leave a Magpie Ulysses show, I vow that I will start paying more attention to the things that happen around me. But try as I might, I will spend the rest of my life failing to extract as much as she can from the the smaller details of everyday living. In "Past Presence," Magpie stumbles across people and places that the rest of us would rank somewhere between mundane and odd, and finds within them stories that are startlingly close to universal, and intensely human.These stories teach us more about ourselves than we could ever hope to learn on our own. James Lamb's musical accompaniment provides the perfect counterpoint. Lamb's music moves through the words, tastefully filling the remaining spaces with the perfect levels of texture, emotion, and intensity. This is an exceptional piece of art that sets the bar for which we should all strive." - David Newberry, singer-songwriter, Vancouver, BC
These poems are dedicated in the honour of the missing and murdered women of the highway of tears. May there be rest and resolution for their friends and families.
Thank you to the Canada Council for the Arts and the Columbia Basin Trust, to the many North American spoken word, theatre, recording & literary artists for their time, love, and creative support, to my dear friends and family for their generous emotional, mental, and spiritual support during my three plus years of creating this project. Most of all, thank you, deeply, to all the people who have helped me get somewhere by thumbing it, especially for your stories and your grace.

Valkee Corp has come up with an ear light to affect SAD. It sends light into the ear canal which they claim has a high success rate for SAD. Similar to a light box.
Has anyone used these?

Hi there Canaan 2012, No, can't say I've heard of this... but am definitely going to have a wee 'look-see' on the internet and see what I can see... Do you have one/are you going to give it a try? Would love to hear if you do if you feel it helps at all... thanks for sharing the info, A.B.H.
Hi ! Got Valkee a week ago, and have used it for 5 days. Started CAREFULLY up in the middle of the day with 2 min. of use, and increased to 5-6 min. Have now stopped using due to severe trouble sleeping, high anxiety level and very rapid heartrate :( I do not smoke, drink alcohol or caffine-products, and nothing has happened in my life that should cause these problems. The only thing that has been different the last week is the use of Valkee... I would like to add that I wrote almost the same as this on a "Valkee Facebook-site", and got the answer that these kind of "side-effects" is known, so why do they not inform about it ?! :( Also that I should continue to use it, and try different times during the day, and just 1-2 min every time, for 2 weeks... Then increase slowly the minutes of use, until I found "the right time" for me ! Actually I think that "answer" smells a bit uprofessional, and I have googled for side-effects from using Valkee, and must honestly say that I have not found much, why I do not know. There is also not much research on the use of Valkee, except from the manufacturer !? What I DO KNOW, is that I have stopped using it, and do REALLY HOPE that my body & mind will calm down shortly !!!
Hope this was usefull ;)
Very useful, LGJ... I always feel enhanced by reading people's shared info on things they try to help themselves! Sorry to hear this particular device wasn't helpful... Good to hear you're trying things to help yourself... that to me is always a good sign!!! Thanks for sharing, A.B.H.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. When I looked into this product they had only a single source of information that touted incredible results.
I'm sorry you're having trouble with the light but I appreciate what you said and will keep it in mind.
Good luck and Happy New Year
:) The same to you :)

New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits fell slightly last week but a trend reading rose to its highest since January, the latest sign of a weaker pace of healing in the still-struggling labor market.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped by 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 388,000, the Labor Department said on Thursday. The prior week's figure was revised up to 389,000 from the previously reported 386,000.
The four-week moving average for new claims, a closely followed measure of labor market trends, rose 6,250 to 381,750, its highest since the week that ended Jan. 7.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast new claims falling to 375,000 last week.
The reading was the latest example of fizzling momentum in the labor market recovery. New claims fell sharply during early winter but the improvement has largely stalled in recent weeks.

Without much fanfare and overshadowed by Canadians heading to the polls on May 2 for the fourth election in seven years, a controversial bill that would further comply with U.S. aviation security practices became law. The measure supports plans for a North American security perimeter and illustrates how the Canadian government is more interested in appeasing U.S. interests than protecting the privacy and freedoms of its own citizens.
Canada has made many steps to harmonize airline security with U.S. programs but none has been good enough to prevent ever more draconian demands. Our severely flawed made-in-Canada 'no fly' list was supposed to prevent the imposition of the U.S. list on Canada. But the benchmark has moved again to the point the U.S. must issue travel permissions to Canadians."

With many thousands of different mortgage products available in the UK, it is hardly surprising that finding the right one that best suits your particular needs can be a challenging task. This is partly because so many competitive mortgage deals are not available from mainstream lenders on the High Street. Lots of exclusive brands are only available through professional mortgage brokers and as mortgage products are changing daily, often with special offers, discounts and limited availability, what was yesterday's best buy might easily be beaten or withdrawn tomorrow. This is where we using a local mortgage broker in Shaftesbury could really help make sure you get the right advice from qualified mortgage advisors.
First Time Buyer
With so many factors to consider it can be difficult to know where to begin when looking for your first mortgage.
There are a wide range of providers and mortgages across the market providing a vast selection of mortgages to choose from, and useful though it may be to have plenty of choice, it can leave you feeling completely daunted and confused.
You are not limited to just mortgages designed for first time buyers. Depending on your circumstances we will recommend the best mortgage for you from the wide range of mortgages on the market for house movers, such as the lowest fixed rate mortgages or base rate tracker mortgages.
1. Find out how much you can borrow - get a agreement in principle (AIP)
The first thing to do when you are looking to buy a home is find out how much you can borrow. The best way to do this is to talk with a mortgage advisor, who will be able to give you an idea of how much you can realistically borrow, based on factors such as your income, outgoings, credit history, and several other factors.
2. Search for a property
Now that you have your AIP you are ready to make offers on properties up to the agreed amount. At this point you are now ready to begin viewing properties.
3. Make an offer
Once you've found the property you'd like to purchase, it's time to make an offer. You do this through your estate agent, giving them the details of your AIP. The estate agent will then begin the process of checking the property. This is often the lengthiest stage of the buying process, as there can be quite a bit of legal and paperwork for the estate agent to process, as well as potentially waiting for third parties, such as the seller. Provided that there are no issues with the legal work, and the seller accepts your offer, your mortgage will complete.
4. Talk to us about your mortgage options
At this point it's time to discuss your requirements in more detail such as mortgage products, solicitors & protecting everything that's important to you.
5. Apply for your mortgage
After discussing your available options with your advisor, and deciding on a mortgage you'd like to take, it's time to apply for the mortgage. Again, it is better to do this through a broker, as they usually have relationships with the lenders.
6. Exchange contracts
The final stage of the process is the exchange of the contracts and the transfer of money.
7. Mortgage / sale complete
Congratulations! You're now a home owner. It's time to pick up your keys and move into your new home.
Your mortgage may have been the best deal for your circumstances at the time but is it still performing as well as it could?
Remortgaging is a good way to escape high variable or fixed interest rates and more and more UK homeowners are moving their mortgages to save money. Even if you have just come out of a special deal and are obliged to pay a penalty if you change mortgage, do not be deterred, re-mortgaging often reduces your monthly mortgage payment enough to still save you money in the long term.
As well as reducing your monthly payments, you can also use remortgaging to release the equity that's built-up in your property over time. If you have owned your property for several years, it could be worth more than your outstanding debt therefore taking out a larger mortgage could release some extra cash. This could be spent on home improvements, a new car or a luxury holiday if you like.
When you re-mortgage, you are essentially replacing your existing mortgage loan with a new one, shifting your debt from one mortgage lender to another. There are thousands of remortgages available across the UK morgage market and Eddison Wells will take into account what different mortgage lenders are offering at present and find the best remortgage deal for your new circumstances.
Buy to Let
A buy-to-let mortgage (also known as an investment mortgage) is designed for borrowers who want to let their property out to a third party (i.e. tenants).
More and more people are investing in property as a long-term opportunity to make profitable returns, and as a way of securing finance for their retirement. There are now plenty of competitive buy to let mortgage deals around that are specifically aimed at the buy-to-let market, Eddison Wells are here to find the best available deal tailored to your circumstances.
You will be required to put down a deposit for buy to let mortgages and this will be typically larger than for a standard residential mortgage – it will likely be 15-25% of the property's value.
In addition, mortgage lenders will often assess buy-to-let mortgages on the earning potential of the property (i.e. the rental income) as well as normal income. The rental income of the property will usually need to be 125-145% of the monthly mortgage repayments.
Moving Home
If you are already paying your mortgage on your current home and you are moving home you can often move (port) your existing mortgage to your new home, which is possible with many lenders, or you can begin a new mortgage and repay your current mortgage (as well as any early repayment fees).

Have you been out to Chantli Mare, the new Restaurant & Inn in the nearly virgin beach of Boca de Iguana, Mexico? Roberto Contreras and has wife Ibett have poured their heart and soul into turning an old dilapidated family beach home into an elegant fine dining restaurant and hotel which was recently given the Boutique hotel status because of its luxury facilities in a small, intimate setting.
Chantli Mare currently has six rooms, a pool, stunning landscaping, and a restaurant with the renowned chef, Greg Coulliard, preparing exquisite meals. Chef Couillard, originally from Toronto, partnered with Kim Everest and Chef Glenroy Anderson at the fabulous Number Four restaurant in Ajijic, prior to becoming the chef at Chantli Mare.
Feeling blessed with what all they have received from others, Robert and Ibett graciously agreed to host the fundraising benefit, "Fashion at the Bay", with the proceeds to support our sister non-profit organization, La Catalina Foundation. The event will take place on Friday, January 10th at 12pm and include a fancy luncheon, live music and a fashion show with a chic, eclectic array of eight Mexican, American and Canadian models showing off clothing and swim wear from Café Calypso boutique in Melaque and Misifus in Barra de Navidad. The models are teenagers through mature adults, all of whom live in La Manzanilla or spend the winter there.
One hundred percent of the event earnings will go to La Catalina Foundation, serving La Manzanilla, Jalisco area. This grass roots organization,
founded in 2004, has been working to improve social conditions in their community through providing free educational advancement opportunities to their local residents. The foundation offers English, art and technology training to students. Currently, the foundation has 45 youth, ages 13 – 22, who receive financial support and tutoring to help keep them in school. In mid-January, the La Catalina Foundation will proudly be opening the doors to a new computer literacy classroom which they worked hard to build and equip, where children, teens and adults will come to develop their computer skills. This event will help purchase additional computers and pay for expenses to operate the computer lab.
There is limited seating for Fashion at the Bay benefit. Tickets are 350 pesos per person and includes the lunch, fashion show and chance to win a door prize. To make your reservation and support this good cause, contact Julie from La Catalina Foundation by email at: email@example.com or by phone at 315-351-5540.

If regular exercise and healthy eating aren't enough, then maybe it's time for you to use a weight loss diet supplement to help you lose weight. And sometimes, even if regular exercise and healthy eating are working for you in helping you achieve your weight loss goals, the use of a weight loss diet supplement can help speed things up.
Safety first
Weight loss diet supplements can either come with a prescription or be made available over-the-counter. If you intend to use prescription weight loss diet supplements, then there's nothing to worry about because you are guaranteed that they are safe. You just have to be a bit more wary when it comes to over-the-counter weight loss diet supplements. While most that are available without prescriptions boast of containing all-natural ingredients. You still have to make the effort to make sure that they are safe. Before taking any weight loss diet supplement, check its ingredients. While they may be safe for consumption, they might also contain ingredients that may be allergic to you. Apart from that, it there's any ingredient that you are not familiar with, look it up. It's better to be safe than sorry.
natural weight loss, the diet solution program review, weight loss programs for women,
Results vary
While a weight loss diet supplement may indicate to cause a particular result, take note that not all people will experience the same degree of results. Some people react more to some weight loss diet supplements while some people experience no change at all. This isn't to mean that particular weight loss diet supplements are ineffective. It just means that each body is unique and react to different things differently.
Consult your doctor
If you are suffering from any health condition, or are currently taking any prescription medication, please do consult your doctor first before taking any weight loss diet supplements. This is to ensure that none of the ingredients in the weight loss diet supplements will aggravate your condition or cause any adverse reactions with your prescription medication.

This free online geometry calculator will use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing length of a right triangle given the lengths of the other two sides.
Plus, unlike other online calculators, this calculator will show its work and draw the shape of the right triangle based on the results.
Finally, this page also includes a mini calculator that checks to see if the given lengths of three sides of a triangle form a right triangle (Converse of Pythagorean Theorem).
If you are unfamiliar with the Pythagorean Theorem, you may want to read the following brief explanation before using the calculator.
The Pythagorean Theorem is the relationship between the lengths of the two legs of a right triangle and its hypotenuse. The relationship is expressed as follows:
|a2 + b2 = c2
|where ...
a = the length of the vertical side.
b = the length of the base.
c = the length of the side opposite of the 90° angle.
Based on this relationship, we can isolate each unknown length to solve for it.
If you already know the lengths of all three sides of a triangle, the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to determine whether or not the triangle is a right triangle.
|If a2 + b2 = c2 is true, then the triangle is a right triangle.
|If a2 + b2 = c2 is false, then the triangle is not a right triangle.
You can conduct your own test here:
With that, let's use the Pythagorean Theorem Calculator to find the missing side of a right triangle.

Online Math Calculators
To Help You To
Solve and Learn ...
Number of decimal places to round result to: Select how many decimal places you would like the result rounded to. Note that you can change the number of places before or after calculating the missing length. Also note that the Pythagorean Theorem Calculator will always display the raw results (out to 14 places) in the steps that will appear beneath the calculator.
Solve for: Select the right triangle side you wish to solve for.
Length of first side: Enter the first known length on this line.
Length of second side: Enter the second known length on this line.
Calculate Unknown Length button: Clicking this button will calculate the missing length, display the steps and formula used, and attempt to draw a scaled version of the right triangle below.
Length of missing side: This is the missing length of the right triangle.
Area of triangle: This is the area of the right triangle formed by Leg a, Leg b, and Leg c (hypotenuse). The formula used is, Area (K) = 1/2 x b x a.

Everybody's Fine
Director(s): Kirk Jones
Writer(s): Kirk Jones
Cast: Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale and Sam Rockwell
Release Date(s)Dec 4, 2009 - Wide
Read our review.
Based on the 1990 Italian film Stanno Tutti Bene, Everybody's Fine follows Frank Goode (Robert De Niro), a retired widower, as he tries to reconnect with his children. He slowly discovers that the picture of the family that his wife drew for him didn't always reflect the reality of their situations.
After seeing writer-director Kirk Jones' Waking Ned Devine, the producer's new the English artist had the write touch for the film. They sent him a DVD of the Italian original.
Says Jones, "I had been looking for my first US-based project for some time but was keen to write and direct as I had done before. This would mean that I would arrive in the States with a project that I was inherently connected to, instead of attaching myself to a studio developed movie that had already passed through the hands of a dozen writers. I wanted to keep things simple and write the script alone as I had done with Waking Ned Devine."
He adds, "Finding the right project is like buying a house, you instinctively know that it's right for you from the start and within minutes of watching the original Italian version I had really connected with it, it intrigued me, moved me emotionally and it made me laugh. It's such a simple, passionate story."
Jones connected to the script and realized the universality of a father who works to provide everything for his children but in turn ends up missing the details of family life. Says Jones, "Any father can relate to the conflicting instincts that are experienced by Frank in this story; realizing he has spent too little time with his children and family because it was necessary for him to work long hours to provide security for them. It is interesting to note that with all of the technological developments in recent years, balancing work and family remains one of the most challenging dilemmas facing modern parents. Frank worked double shifts at the wire factory, leaving for work before his kids got up and returning after they went to bed. Nothing has changed, the addition of computers and email and texts and cell phones has simply promoted the idea that we are always contactable, always working, covering different time zones, never completely relaxed or focused on the importance of home and family."
Jones knew that he wanted De Niro for the father but remembers that the first meeting was a little nerve-wracking. Recalls Jones, "I was a little nervous because I was meeting arguably one of the greatest actors to have lived but more importantly I was very aware that I would only get one shot at the pitch. Within minutes I was completely relaxed in Bob's presence. I looked at him and knew without a doubt that he was Frank Goode, I just hoped that he realized it too."
The meeting went well for Jones and De Niro. "I liked Kirk a lot," De Niro recalls. "When he showed me this whole presentation of photographs, I could tell there was something special about him and that this would be a special project from the standpoint of working with him, no matter how it turned out. Then I watched Waking Ned Devine and that was it. From there, we simply figured out when we could start."
You can see the results of their collaboration when Everybody's Fine opens in North America on December 4th, 2009.

At the moment, I have some computer problems but I think I can still work on many of the next few videos. It has been forever since I have wrote a blog.
I am planning on creating a back log of video episodes and then releasing them over the coming weeks. It might take a few weeks for me to put together but if the videos are complete and released weekly; it could be months of content.

People who attend retirement seminars often learn how to properly plan for retirement by understanding their retirement benefits packages, discovering how to make confident investments, building an investment portfolio and planning their financial future, according to the University of Washington. Free educational retirement seminars are often held at universities.Continue Reading
One example of a retirement seminar is the Building a Portfolio for Any Weather seminar offered by the University of Washington. The seminar covers how to determine a person's investment style, choose a mix of investments and manage the investments to achieve long-term goals. Another example of a retirement seminar is the preretirement seminar offered by the Office of Human Resources at the National Institutes of Health. This seminar is available for people who work with the U.S. federal government. The seminar focuses on looking at the cost of retirement and how to use financial tools such as annuity calculators. It also focuses on helping people transition into their new life of retirement.
Seminars tend to have specific focuses that can help people understand retirement. The two most common focuses are financial planning and life transitioning. It can be difficult to understand the best options for retirement financial planning and how to embrace a life without work. John Przybys for Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that many retirees forget to add activities to their life and only subtract their work responsibilities, which can leave them feeling depressed and tired. Many people also define themselves in relation to their job and can lose a sense of purpose and a sense of identity when they retire, which makes attending seminars all the more important.Learn more about Financial Planning

Far Cry 3 Delayed as Well - Launches in December
Posted: 01:46AM
Author: bp9801
It was just a few days ago we learned that Assassin's Creed III would (possibly) see a delay for the PC version and now another Ubisoft title will have a similar fate. This time Far Cry 3 is being delayed for all platforms in in order to ensure the highest quality game possible. Ubisoft wants every element of the game to be the best, and as such is pushing the release from September to December (or November if you live in Europe). Far Cry 3 will now launch on December 4th in North America and November 29th in Europe, which still primes it for big holiday numbers but not as big as before. Still, at least we will receive the game before 2012 is over, although this could mean one less launch title for Nintendo's Wii U depending on when that system launches. So, two major Ubisoft titles have received delays, but both should perform well regardless of launch date.

Bob moved from Sandy Creek, NY to Utica in September of 2012. The Focus Rehabilitation & Nursing Center family assisted him since he was no longer able to live alone. Bob often worried about who would care for his horse and his ill daughter.
When Executive Director Jeff Emhof came to Focus Utica he met Bob and quickly learned of Bob's concerns. Staff were able to arrange for Bob and his friend Shirley to take a day trip to Sandy Creek with Mr. Emhof and his wife. The foursome enjoyed the scenery throughout the 1 ½ hour trip to Sandy Creek. They met one of Bob's daughters at the Sandy Creek Diner for a memorable meal and time of sharing. Bob's daughter assured him that her health had improved. She told her dad, "You don't need to worry about me!"
Bob was pleasantly surprised when three gentlemen in a booth near his table called over to him, "Bob? Is that you?" The men enjoyed some reminiscing and laughs before dinner was served.
After dinner, Bob picked up his guitar at his daughter's house to bring back to Focus Utica. He then popped in at a market nearby to surprise his granddaughter who manages the deli. Bob was hoping to see his horse in nearby Pulaski, but it was not where he expected it to be.
Although Spring rains fell most of the day, nothing could dampen Bob and Shirley's spirits. The big trip to Sandy Creek couldn't have been better. Mr. Emhof commented, "Focus Utica strives to make each day special for those living here. Helping elders achieve their goals and live their dreams brings a smile to all of us—not to mention the memories we make."
It was another great trip for the seniors who live with us here at Focus in Utica! A fun filled day of golfing, ladder ball, Frisbee, and relay games were played at the Masonic Care Community site. The residents of Focus in Utica showed their dedication and competitive drive, taking home 2nd place overall in the games.

Quick Reference
Buddhist traditions of debate have their origins in the early encounters between Buddhists and non-Buddhist philosophers and later within rival Buddhist groups. By the 6th century ce, philosophical sophistication led to a codification of all matters involved in debate such as valid and invalid modes of argument, acceptable sources and means of valid knowledge, as well as logic in general. The rules and traditional Indian techniques and procedures for debate have been preserved in Tibet and form a key part of the Gelukpa monastic curriculum, based especially on the works of Dignāga and Dharmakīrti. Gelukpa monks frequently engage one another in debate as part of their monastic training.

Women in Medicine SIG
Membership to Special Interest Groups is open to all APA members.
To join a SIG, click here
2018 Presentation
2017 PAS Presentation
Women in Medicine SIG: Learning from the Business World: Approaching Academic Pediatric Careers
Annual Report
Chair: Carol Berkowitz MD
SIG purpose/mission: Provide a forum for women in academic pediatrics to discuss issues of mutual concern.
Current SIG goals:
1. Examine if there is inequity in academia for women
2. Provide a network to help foster academic success for women in pediatrics
Annual summary: The WIM SIG focused on utilizing the principles taught in business school to help women in academia negotiate for salary, benefits and support. There were 20 attendees who shared their individual stories. Points of interest were that one of the attendees had not received a salary increase in 10 years, and that others had taken a position without even asking the salary since they were so happy to even get a job when they moved with their spouses. A copy of the presentation is attached.
Other groups:
Race in Medicine
Past Meetings
Slides available upon request firstname.lastname@example.com
The Women in Medicine SIG met on Tuesday morning, May 6, 2014 from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. There were approximately 25 participants plus the three panelists, Drs. Carol Berkowitz, Tumaini Coker and Alison Holmes. The focus of the session related to the books, "Lean In" by Sheryl Sandberg and "Bossypants" by Tina Fey. The session was entitled: "Leaning in, Leaning out and Leadership: Achieving a Balance".
The SIG opened with an appreciative exercise during which attendees formed dyads, spoke together and then introduced their partner to the entire group, assuring that each attendee met at least one other person as part of the effort to network. The group then broke into smaller groups around each of the tables in the room. Each table included one of the 3 panelists and initially spent about 15 minutes reviewing a single scenario. The scenarios are posted on the APA Women in Medicine SIG Wiki site. The first scenario dealt with the issue of women being asked to run for president of a national pediatric organization. The case presented involved a situation where out of 10 suggested candidates, there was only 1 woman. There was a robust discussion of factors that might influence a woman not to be willing to be interviewed to run for office. These included the absence of role models and fear of rejection. Some attendees described the interview by a nominating committee as intimidating and suggested practice session head of time. Attendees also discussed the issue of being asked specifically because you were a woman (or a minority) and not because of your talents or skill set. Some attendees were willing to accept the "right opportunity" even for the wrong reason. A similar discussion surrounded the scenario related to being asked to serve as Associate Dean of Students, a position that had never been filled by a woman and recently vacated by a popular dean under unclear circumstances. A third scenario dealt with "leaning out", what to do if your daughter wanted to be a Brownie but the only way the troop could meet was if you could serve as a co-leader and the meetings were after school during the week. The comments related to assessing the total commitment, see if there could be alternative times, and if you took on the position, not to give explanations at work. There was a sense that women academicians who left work for family obligations were frowned on whereas men were praised for their family commitment. There was universal agreement that though there was greater sharing of family responsibilities, more of the workload fell on the women. The remainder of the scenarios were discussed by the entire group. There was a discussion about the fall off in the academic pipeline between assistant professor and professor for women. Comments that were made were that women were less attractive as they got older, women in their 50s were grumpy, women didn't get as much administrative support as men and were often expected to do "womanly" things (like make the coffee).
The issue was raised about whether there was still a need for a Women in Medicine SIG, or were the majority of issues resolved. There was a resounding YES to the continuation of the SIG and the following thoughts were aired. We as women need to create a wish list. We need to explore the status of women physicians internationally. We would like longer maternity leave (12 months). We'd like husbands to "lean in" more at home. We sometimes are our own worst enemies. The APA WIM SIG lives on!

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 248298
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:36 EDT
Description of problem:
I have modernized Fedora from version 6 to version 7 and, to part some
configuration, seems to work nearly all to part two things:
1) I have two external discs usb that, with fedora 7, do not come mount in
automatic rifle to the start of the system, what that instead happened with
Fedora 6; the /etc/fstab file correctly are set up on /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1
(modified from hd*). After the start are forced to execute the mount manually,
after that all work perfectly. My question is: in some way udev it influences on
the formulations of fstab, and in that way? How it is possible to modify this
behavior? Is to keep in mind who the two discs usb are always connects to the
system, and exists automatic procedures that use these discs for the backup of
the computer.
2) Always on a door usb a Canon N650U is connected scanner, than with Fedora 6
it worked perfectly; after the modernization to Fedora 7, this does not work
more, although they do not come visualizes error messages; the peripheral one
comes recognized perfectly (also with gimp), but as soon as I try to use it the
progression window jams in attended of answer from the scanner. To notice that
the program does not jam, allowing me to close it without problems. The scanner
it has been tried on a Windows system and works perfectly. Same question: it is
always udev that it creates the problem? I have tried also to move the connector
on other doors usb (all working), but verification the same problem.
How reproducible:
always in whichever situation
1) look at the /dev/disk symlinks.. you may use those for fstab
2) don't know, why this is a udev problem??
1) The situation in the directory /dev/disk is following:
# tree

`-- f2ca9561-b85a-4df1-920e-ab653da4ab2f -> ../../sdd
currently the two discs, as you can see, are mount to you and use the simlinks
/dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1; in that way I can address them on fstab, if these after
the start of the system come associate to you in this way?
2) In effects they are not sure that this is caused from udev, but I do not
succeed to understand where it can be the problem. Moving the connector of the
scanner on various doors, this comes associated correctly to various addresses,
but however it does not work. I presumed that also this anomaly was caused from
udev (like for discs usb), but I can also be mistaken. In the previous
modernizations with the several versions of Fedora this was not never happened.
According to you what can cause this problem?
Thanks for answer!!!
1) I have executed some tests and I have noticed that the problem is caused from
the fact that the two discs usb do not come seen to the start of the system.
After the start it is necessary to start discs newly (off/on), or to remove and
then to reconnect the connector usb. Fact this all then works. If this procedure
is not executed, in directory /dev/disk two discs usb they do not come
visualizes to you.
I have executed the modernization to kernel "126.96.36.199-27.fc7 #1 SMP" and the
problem with external discs usb seems is returned to place.
As soon as I can I will make a test with the scanner in order to see if also
this problem has been arranged.
still a problem in F8?
The information we've requested above is required in order
to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the
issue if it is still present. Since there have not been any
updates to the report since thirty (30) days or more since we
requested additional information, we're assuming the problem
is either no longer present in the current Fedora release, or
that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem.
Setting status to "CLOSED INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you still
experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora
release and can provide the information previously requested,
please feel free to reopen the bug report.
Thank you in advance.
Note that maintenance for Fedora 7 will end 30 days after the GA of Fedora 9.

I doubt that most of you reading this are extreme couponers. I know this because if you were, you wouldn't have time to read this because you'd be too busy couponing…extremely. That being said, I'm sure many of you appreciate the occasional deal brought to you by a manufacturer's coupon. You might not be aware (or care, frankly) about the million steps involved in processing the 315 billion coupons issued annually. But perhaps you'd start caring if the disruption of this process benefited you, the consumer.
Kansas City based CouponCloud is attempting to revolutionize the fourteen-billion-dollar paper coupon processing industry by skipping the clearing houses (many of which are in Mexico) where coupons are sent after redemption and allowing retailers to process coupons at the point of sale. Retailers currently have to wait sometimes up to three months to receive their reimbursements on coupons used at their stores.
"Hundreds of millions of dollars are lost to fraud. Profits are reduced from processing expenses. Market data, reimbursements, and decisions are delayed by shipments and audits."
When you use a manufacturer's coupon, it is first shipped back to the manufacturer where it is sorted and then sent to the clearing house for auditing and reprocessing. This takes a lot of time, money, and manpower. The CouponCloud platform aims to make this process much more efficient with instant coupon validation and real-time transfer of funds from the manufacturer to the retailer. This could save retailers $.50 on every dollar they're trying to redeem in coupons.
The platform would be free for retailers and only cost $.06 per transaction for manufacturers. Additionally, it will help digital coupon distributors such as redplum and RetailMeNot more efficiently spread coupon love to the consumer.
Several added benefits of their secure platform include eliminating the over one billion dollars of coupon fraud that is absorbed by the industry every year, and helping coupons become largely paperless…an environmental impact that cannot be overlooked.
Founders Matthew Simrell and Adam Coomes bring many years of entrepreneurship and business experience to CouponCloud. Simrell has been starting companies, in a variety of areas, since the age of 10. Coomes has founded several tech startups and was listed as one of America's Best Young Entrepreneurs in Bloomberg's BusinessWeek in 2010.

So, here I am after putting food away, folding up bags and gathering myself. A little tired but fortunately it is not a hot day, in the 70's and gorgeous. I always feel so accomplished after making the shopping journey!
I am not sure where people really stand on the metabolic theory and MS. I know...I know we have heard enough about a lot without any real solutions. Pharma road has meant toxicity and people losing their lives over medication with huge promises. I was one of those people back in 1986 when I was first diagnosed. What did I know? Something was wrong and I needed it fixed so I could go on with my life. No options.
MS always means more questions than answers. Why more women than men? Now of course, it is all over the world so the whole thing about it being more in the northern hemisphere than the southern is ridiculous. People everywhere are getting this including kids. So we know it is in the gene pool. But why...why...why??
Here is the latest from Angelique Corthals, and a brief bio about her: http://www.aspcorthals.net/Site/Resume.html
Multiple Sclerosis is Not a Disease of the Immune SystemThe Quarterly Review of Biology
Vol. 86, No. 4 (December 2011), pp. 287-321
This researcher and professor sheds a very different light on MS. With her research, most of the questions not answered by the immune theory are answered here: http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/5121.php
I changed my diet a few years ago and have been well for four, almost five years. I am still finding out things such as sugar may be more of a problem than I realized. No known medication typically keeps someone with MS feeling well without horrible side effects and injection pains.
Please pass the word on this -- this is ground breaking news that we have been waiting for. In my life time there may be some treatments but for now, I am very happy living a healthy life style! Hippocrates would be so proud!!

IHTM: I Tried a Skincare Product That Jacked Up My Skin Barrier So Here's How I Handled It
I basically called my mom for help. Except when I say mom, I mean an esthetician.
When Calle wrote about her favorite drugstore lip balms, it reminded me that I need to be more religious with my lip balm application this winter. Not only will it help with dry, chapped lips, but hopefully a constant layer of lip balm will stop me from chewing my lips apart.
Inspired by the flavored lip balms in the new Burt's Bees collaboration with Us The Duo, I had the bright idea that perhaps flavored lip balm would be most effective at stopping my absent-minded lip biting habit. The way my logic goes is that the moment I taste the lip balm, I'll realize what I'm doing and stop.
So far, my plan has been working pretty well thanks to these five lip balms. Some have more flavor than others, so I've rated them all by flavor (as well as things like prettiness and actual efficiency as a balm). Read on! But not if you're hungry.
Here's what this looks like on my lips (ignore any pink patchiness left over from a stubborn lip stain):
Taste/Smell: 3/5. The taste is barely noticeable. I don't taste cherry but maybe a hint of sweetness. It smells delicious though; more like cake than cherry.
Appearance: 4/5. It's an extremely glossy, sheer pink with hints of shimmer. It's not a natural look but it is pretty.
Efficacy: 3/5. This one comes close to being more of a gloss than a balm, but it promises to "hydrate, smooth, and soften lips" so I gave it a fair try. As a balm it works better than expected. It's very slick and emollient, so it prevents me from biting my lips, and my lips are softer after wearing it.
Nivea A Kiss of Cherry, $3
Taste/Smell: 3/5. Now this one smells like cherries (or cherry candy), but I didn't detect much flavor--and it lists "flavor" in the ingredient list. Sigh.
Appearance: 4/5. This has more of a pink pigment and less gloss than the Philosophy Lip Shine. It's great for a "my lips but better" daily look.
Efficacy: 4/5. This balm has a waxy consistency and coats lips for more than an hour, leaving them softer and still slightly pink afterwards.
Burt's Bees Moisturizing Lip Balm, $3.30
Taste/Smell: 3/5. I tried two of the new flavored lip balms from the Us The Duo and Burt's Bees collaboration: the Coconut & Pear and the Wild Cherry (pictured further up above). I like the smell and taste of the Wild Cherry much more than the Coconut & Pear, but that's personal preference. They definitely smell true to their names, but again I had a hard time noticing flavor. Guys, is there something wrong with my taste buds?
Appearance: 2/5. These are clear with minimal sheen, making me wish for some color.
Efficacy: 5/5. Burt's Bees has never let me down when it comes to lip balm and these are no exception. They relieve my dry lips for the long-term (and I have to admit I like the 100% natural promise).
Lip Smacker Chocolate Hazelnut Lip Balm, $1.50
Taste/Smell: 3/5. It smells exactly like Tootsie Rolls. I definitely can detect a sweet (but not particularly chocolatey/nutty) flavor with this one.
Appearance: 2/5. This goes on clear with some sheen. Boring.
Efficacy: 3/5. It's not the fanciest lip balm (that's coming next) but it's fun and gets the job done. If you like Lip Smackers, you'll like this. It's a Special Edition flavor and I can't seem to find it online, so if you happen to see it in Target or a drugstore, better snatch it up.
Le Couvent des Minimes Smile Lip Balm Honey, $13.50
Taste/Smell: 5/5. It smells AND TASTES exactly like honey. YES. In fact, it's extremely potent, which is good if you like honey. Luckily I do, because I could smell and taste this stuff on my lips for hours after application.
Appearance: 4/5. It's a clear balm, but extremely glossy--sort of like coconut oil but a lot thicker. It's not sticky like honey though, don't worry.
Efficacy: 5/5. This stayed on my lips for a long time and made them feel softer during and after wearing it. Yes, it's expensive, but it's worth splurging on for yourself or as a great gift for someone. You get a lot of product in the fancy glass container, and it really is a luxurious product to use.
