Health professionals to get wider powers
TheStar.com – Ontario/Healthzone.ca – Health professionals to get wider powers
May 12, 2009. Tanya Talaga, QUEEN'S PARK BUREAU
The province has unveiled reforms that will enable physiotherapists to order X-rays, midwives to use breathing tubes on struggling newborns and pharmacists to refill prescriptions without doctors' orders.
The changes are part of a Liberal initiative to ease long hospital wait times and address the provincial doctor shortage. About 850,000 Ontarians need a family doctor.
In the Legislature yesterday, Health Minister David Caplan introduced amendments to expand the scope of practice for 14 health professions. "Some people will say we have gone too far; others that we have not gone far enough," he said.
"No one professional can possibly meet all a patient's needs," said Premier Dalton McGuinty. "The next best thing is to ensure we minimize the number of stops a patient makes while travelling through the health care system."
But Ontario's nurses say the changes stop short of doing what's truly needed to ease patient flow in overcrowded hospitals by failing to give nurses the power to prescribe more drugs and to admit or discharge patients.
The changes will give nurse practitioners the power to order bone density tests and scans, and set a fracture or dislocation of a joint, but more could easily have been done, said Tina Hurlock-Chorostecki, president of the Nurse Practitioners' Association of Ontario.
"They really need to move toward prescriptive authority that allows nurse practitioners to provide everything patients will need in the health-care system," she said. Nurse practitioners can prescribe some drugs, but this power is limited.
Dr. Alan Hudson, chair of eHealth Ontario, said the changes will improve wait times by freeing up doctors. "About half of what family doctors do could be done by other people," he said.

Psychology of Music: From Sound to Significance (Hardback)Siu-Lan Tan (author), Peter Pfordresher (author), Rom Harre (author)
- Not available
Why are some disturbances of air molecules heard as 'noise' while others are perceived as music? What happens at the level of the sound wave, the ear, and the brain when we perform or listen to music? How do musical abilities emerge and develop, and become refined as one acquires musical expertise? And what gives music its deep emotional significance and its power to influence social behavior, across vastly different cultural contexts? These are some of the primary questions defining the field called 'the psychology of music' and driving the present volume.
This book provides an introduction to classic and current studies in the psychology of music, combining a comprehensive summary with critical assessments of existing research. The volume captures the interdisciplinary breadth of the field, while covering central topics in depth. Part One explores sound and music at an acoustic level, explaining auditory events with respect to the workings of the ear and brain. Part Two focuses on perception and cognition of melody, rhythm, and formal structure. Part Three examines the emergence and development of musical skills, and turns to the most practical aspects of psychology of music: music practice and performance. Finally, Part Four broadens the discussion to the question of meaning in music, with respect to its social, emotional, philosophical, and cultural significance. Throughout, both behavioral and neuroscientific perspectives are developed.
This book will be invaluable to undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of psychology and music, and will appeal to anyone else who is interested in the psychology of music.

"Tan et al.'s volume is an impressive achievement and merits serious consideration by anyone teaching a survey course in music cognition or seeking to recommend to a friend or colleague. It's 300-odd pages are packed with the most detailed overview of our field we are likely to see in any text in the near term and it covers the major aspects of the field quite comprehensively. I've not had the opportunity to use the text myself yet, but will certainly do so in the academic year. ... Every instructor teaching a survey course should examine [Psychology of Music]." - Dr. Richard (Ric) Ashley, Associate Professor of Music Theory and Cognition at Northwestern University and past President of the Society for Music Perception and Cognition in Music Perception
"Their evenhanded, reader-friendly treatment could easily be used as a basic text in a seminar on the psychology of music. ... The book integrates basic findings into a coherent narrative, avoiding the one-paragraph-per-study-strung-together quality that is a risk in any book of such scope. ... As it stands, Tan, Pfordresher, and Harre's volume is an engaging exposition of the current state of our knowledge of the psychology of music. The themes therein transcend their musical origin and make connections both with broader scientific psychology and real human experience. Reading it should significantly enhance one's enjoyment and appreciation of music, regardless of one's background or experience level. To paraphrase Nietzsche, experiencing music without knowledge may not entirely be a mistake, but experiencing it with the kind of up-to-date knowledge that may be gleaned from Psychology of Music is even more marvelous." - Aaron Kozbelt in PsycCRITIQUES
"Tan, Pfordresher and Harre provide a nice, engaging and up-to-date overview of the psychology of music, from acoustics to ethnomusicology.The authors accompany the reader through the meanders of this complex field which spans several disciplines. The book, written in a plain and introductory style, is the ideal guide for students, and a refreshing overview for specialists and non-specialists interested in the psychology of music." - Simone Dalla Bella, Department of Psychology, WSFiZ, Warsaw, Poland and BRAMS, Montreal, Canada

The Flying Doc of East Africa - Thomas Rees
Oct 2, 2012 1:00 PM
One of the best things about the School of Medicine's Alumni Weekend is the Alumni Awards Banquet where we recognize a few of our most distinguished alumni and celebrate the class of medical school graduates who have reached their 50th reunions. This year we honored:
- Randall W. Burt, M.D., Distinguished Alumni Award
- Richard G. Middleton, M.D., Distinguished Service Award
- Thomas D. Rees, M.D., Distinguished Humanitarian Award
- Mansoor Emam, M.D., Distinguished Humanitarian Award
I want to tell the story of one of these recipients whose career was mostly in New York City, at my previous institution NYU, but whose ties to Utah have remained strong and who makes us all feel so proud to be associated with this University.
That is Dr. Thomas Rees.
Dr. Rees, now retired, was one of the most celebrated authorities on aesthetic plastic surgery. He was professor of plastic surgery at NYU for decades. He wrote the definitive two-volume text. He was plastic surgeon to many of the stars of New York City. His reputation was well known to me because although he was retired when I worked there, he returned to NYU each year to deliver a lecture to the plastics trainees that was much anticipated.
When I landed here last year in this new role at the University of Utah, I was delighted to learn that Dr. Rees was not only an alumnus of the medical school, but his father had been a distinguished professor and chair of the Department of Biology. In his honor, Tom and his wife Nan had established an endowed chair. I had the pleasure of meeting them both for the first time last winter. Sadly, Nan was diagnosed with cancer shortly thereafter and passed away this spring.
Before that, in the course of our getting to know each other better, I discovered there was a whole other side to Tom and Nan's life that was just a remarkable as his academic career. In the 1950's, starting with a trip to Africa with his two British plastic surgeon mentors, Tom and Nan began a 50+ year love affair with Africa, where Tom and his colleagues performed countless operations in the most remote parts of East Africa. They established an organization called the Flying Doctors of East Africa, now called AMREF, the African Medical Research Foundation, one of the most respected health care development organizations in Africa. His adventures in co-founding this organization are chronicled in a captivating book, Daktari, which shows that not only is he a remarkable talented surgeon, sculptor, and scholar, but Dr. Rees is also a gifted storyteller.comments powered by Disqus

Tall, Dark, and Dead – 37 – 28 Weeks Later
Title: 28 Weeks Later
Year: 2007
Director: Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
Leads: Robert Carlyle, Jeremy Renner
Favorite quote: "You look a little pale."
"Blood makes me nauseous."
Thoughts: What I really respect about 28 Weeks Later is how it managed to hold onto the moodiness and futility of 28 Days Later while ramping up the action.
That said, there's little new information to be distilled from this film. It's beautiful, certainly. The contrasts illuminated by the first scene are especially impressive, where the survivors are forced to exist in perpetual twilight, contained in a self-imposed tomb by the threat of the infected outside. Two important bits I picked up on, however, include support for the vomit transmission idea and the reiteration of the theme of youth in revolt. Old hat, I know, but important.

IJEGE 16 - Volume 02Up one level
In order to highlight possible aquifer pollution phenomena and rising of a salt wedge in the Sant'Eufemia Plain (southern Italy), forty-two samples of rivers and groundwater were analyzed. The Sant'Eufemia plain is located in the middle-western Calabria and represents one of the main agricultural and industrial area of the region. Four main geochemical types have been identified (Na-Cl, Na-HCO3, Ca-HCO3 and Ca-SO4 waters). The low salinity of Na-Cl waters allowed to exclude sea water intrusion phenomena
Analysis of erosive processes and sediment transport in mountain environments has numerous implications for proper river basin management, land use planning as well as flood risk evaluation. Temporal and spatial scales of these phenomena may vary greatly during intense precipitation events with respect to normal conditions, thus introducing significant differences between long- and short-term related sediment yield and transport. In this work, the Erosion Potential Method is applied to Alpine catchments loc

The phenomenon of "diving plumes" frequently occurs in some particular hydrogeological settings where the groundwater recharge flows into the top of a shallow water table aquifer and, once inside the aquifer, this water begins to move downwards. Due to the preferred horizontal flow path, it can push contaminant plumes downwards up to the deepest aquifers. Therefore, especially in urban areas, where the water table depression is more pronounced, the pollutants are conveyed to the most important groundwat
DETECTION OF NANOSEISMIC EVENTS RELATED TO SLOPE INSTABILITIES IN THE QUARRY DISTRICT OF CORENO AUSONIO (ITALY)Nanoseismic monitoring is a passive geophysical technique used to identify and locate weak seismic events (down to local magnitudes, ML, around -3).

PB stopped booting. Tried to Boot from Tiger 10.4 Now what?
This PB was working fine. After not being used for about 60 days it would only boot to the Gray Apple and the spinner.
1. Reset the PRAM
2. Reset the PMU (I think that's what it is call - battery out, power source disconnected, hold down the power button for five seconds)
3. Tried to boot from a retail version of Tiger 10.4 and was taken to a blue screen, then a window containing what looks like two pictures of computer mice - one showing the insertion of what look like two AA batteries Picture two shows the "cover" back in place, a switch closed, and there is a flashing red light in the picture of the switch. Both have numbers below, but the cursor is always frozen.
4. Replaced the hard drive.
5. Problem continued. Based on something I read here, I tried booting up from the retail disk while holding down the "option" button. The blue screen appears, a left arrow is in a circle and the right arrow points right. Then the Tiger disk shows up. I have tried both arrows and clicking the disk icon and the trying each arrow. I always end up
on the screen with the window containing the mice and flashing red light.
I am a long time Apple user (IIe days) but I am a user and not technically inclined!
Any suggestions for getting this unit back up and running?
Is this a good question?

Leftover ham is one of my favorite second-time-around items. I buy larger hams than I need just to have leftovers. When you can make more than one dinner out of it, you'll find you're practically paying pennies for a wonderful family meal.
Now, don't turn your nose up at leftovers. I'm not talking about serving the ham in slices as you did when you first made it. That's just boring. Your leftovers and your palate are worth more than that.
Today I'm sharing an old-fashioned homemade casserole that will transform those tiny parts of ham you rescued from the hock into a velvety smooth dish you'll be proud to serve your family. Enjoy it with steamed broccoli and buttermilk biscuits.
For more recipes, check the blog "Ham, How Do I Love You?" on kitchenscoop.com.
medium red potatoes, about 2 pounds
small yellow onion
1 1/2
cups chopped cooked ham
teaspoon black pepper
tablespoons butter
tablespoons all-purpose flour
cups 1 percent (or higher) milk
cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray an 8x8-inch glass or ceramic casserole with nonstick cooking oil. Set aside.
Thinly slice the potatoes and then the onion. (See Note.) Layer 1/3 potato, 1/3 onion and 1/3 ham in prepared casserole; repeat layers, ending with ham. Sprinkle black pepper over top.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, forming a paste. Slowly, by several tablespoons, add the milk, whisking the entire time. Only add more milk when the mixture has thickened.
When all the milk is added, and sauce is thickened (and will coat the back of a spoon), remove saucepan from heat and whisk in the cheese, stirring well. Pour heated sauce carefully over the casserole, coating the top.
Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15 more minutes or until top begins to brown and potatoes are very tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool about 10 minutes before serving. Add salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
Makes 4 servings.
Note: Using a food processor to slice the potatoes and onions makes quick work of this step.

IS Christ the first thing you think of when you hear the word Christmas? Shopping, parties, vacations, and so on, play a large role in many people's celebration of this special time of year. Sometimes, it seems that these activities are the reason for the holiday. So much so, that the original purpose of Christmas--to commemorate the coming of Christ--is sometimes lost sight of.
For years, the worldly celebration of Christmas had the preponderance of my attention. Every December, my priorities centered on getting a tree, decorating the house, and shopping. It was not an inspiring time.
It seemed ironic, in view of the stress and tension I often felt in preparing for holiday festivities, that the purpose of Christ is to eliminate suffering--not cause it. I prayed for a more enlightened perspective on Christmas.
Even though Christ Jesus as a person is no longer present, the Christ-power he lived and demonstrated is. I reasoned I would get a more inspired view of Christmas if I focused more attention on Christ and what it is doing for mankind than on holiday festive-making. I turned to the Bible for guidance on how to do this.
After Christ Jesus' birth, Luke's Gospel tells us, shepherds in a field heard praises from heaven proclaiming, ``Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men'' (2:14). Throughout his career Jesus was promoting peace and goodwill toward all. What better way could I commemorate his example than by doing the same?
I decided to start celebrating Christmas by actively searching for evidence of the Christ within myself and others. We are all children of God, and therefore have access to Christ's power, even as Jesus did. Christ expresses the healing presence of God, and is tangibly seen in such qualities as brotherly love, heartfelt sharing and caring, and joy. To express these qualities and look for them in others, is to bear witness to Christ. I didn't have to wait until December 25 to do that.
While praying like this, I remembered two elderly friends of mine who lived alone. I knew neither of them had family in town. I realized this was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the real meaning of Christmas. I telephoned them and asked if I could come over and say hello.
They were so happy to see me. They weren't expecting to receive wrapped gifts or anything like that; they just enjoyed being loved- -as did I! And with the newfound spirit of Christmas I had been discovering, it was easy for us to share with one another the Christly love that could never be put in a box anyway.
We should strive to be Christlike all year long. But it may take extra effort during the holiday rush to be sure we're expressing the real Christmas spirit. I've found that making prayer a daily priority, no matter how busy we are, helps keep our thought focused on the Christ. Quiet communion with God silences rush-rush thinking and enables us to see more clearly how we can give to others in meaningful ways.
Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, penned an article titled ``What Christmas Means to Me.'' It's in her book The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany. She writes: ``I celebrate Christmas with my soul, my spiritual sense, and so commemorate the entrance into human understanding of the Christ conceived of Spirit, of God and not of a woman--as the birth of Truth, the dawn of divine Love breaking upon the gloom of matter and evil with glory of infinite being'' (p. 262).
Putting Christ first has brought me newfound freedom and peace during the holiday season. We don't have to get pulled into the hectic pace the month of December often forebodes. We can come out and be separate. We can put spiritual growth and renewal at the top of our Christmas list.
If we're truly honoring the coming of Christ, we're doing everything the beloved Son would have ever expected us to do in the first place!

This month, we decided to show you vacation looks. What makeup would I wear during a vacation? I just came back from Hong Kong recently and it was really hot there. So, I shall share with you REALISTICALLY what I did. For realz. I was out and about the whole time, mostly in the sun, hence there was bound to be sweat and grime. I was hardly in air conditioned places, and it is IMPOSSIBLE for makeup NOT to melt in 33 Celcius hot and humid weather. Even at night, we'd be walking so much, it's hard not to sweat. So, for that type of vacation, my staples are a hat, sunscreen, sunnies and wet wipes.
I got that hat from Disneyland and the visor blocks UV rays. SO COOL!! Screw fashionable hats. I don't want to be fried after the vacation. It is such a crowded country that no one would bother to look at me and hey, I'm not from there so nobody even knows me! Sunglasses are a must so I don't have to squint my eyes the whole day and sunscreen. The one I have is a generic one which is very affordable. I lose things when I travel, and I'd hate to lose or break a Gucci or a Tom Ford pair of glasses. For me, I drown myself in sunscreen and for this trip, I have the Biore makeup wipe with me so I could clean my face before reapplying sunscreen nearly every 3 hours.
For a day I know there won't be much outdoor activities, I'd still keep my makeup light. BB Cream as my base, brows to frame my face, liner, mascara and a light lip colour. It is exactly the look I did for my most recent Sunday Stash Shopping. It is hassle free, natural but defined. I have been very boring with my makeup lately, not experimenting much and keeping everything to a minimum. It's also the only look that came to my head for this post, because I'm boring like that 😛
I'm sure my fellow Femmes will have better ideas on makeup looks. It's just that for me, I can't be bothered much with makeup when I'm travelling to hot humid places. It's a different thing when I go some place cooler though 🙂 What about you?
Do check out what
Joey, Kate (these 2 beauties unfortunately can't join us this round) Lilit and Teri have prepared for you! Until next time…
xoxo Lily

SEATTLE – The Texas Rangers didn't play Monday. But that's OK – the Angels have often been their own worst enemy this season anyway.
The bullpen issues that characterized the season-opening series in April are still dogging the Angels as they make the turn into September. This time, it was left-hander Hisanori Takahashi who gave up a two-run home run to Mike Carp in the eighth inning of a tie game as the Angels lost to the Seattle Mariners, 5-3, Monday night.
With the Rangers idle, the loss dropped the Angels 3½ games back in the AL West.
The loss was also the 22nd hung on an Angels reliever this season, tied for the third-highest total in the American League. The Angels also lead the league with 21 blown saves and have now lost 17 games they either led or that were tied after seven innings.
"We've had some guys pitch well in the bullpen and we've had some guys that haven't pitched to the level you'd expect," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We're still a team that's going to control teams on the defensive end and that means pitching.
"This last month is going to hinge on getting enough offense to absorb one pitch that isn't in the right zone. We didn't do that tonight."
They also got a start from Joel Pineiro that wasn't bad – but wasn't quite good enough.
Starting for the first time in nine days, Pineiro turned in his first 'quality start' (six innings or more, three earned runs or less) since July 9. He held the Mariners to three runs on seven hits in six innings but five of those hits were for extra bases including two in the fifth inning that tied the game at 3-3 – Ichiro Suzuki's second double of the game and a two-out triple by Dustin Ackley (one of the rookie's three hits in the game) that drove him in.
"I felt my stuff was good," Pineiro said. "I'm a pitch-to-contact guy and they threw a couple out there and found a lot of gaps.
"The one to Ackley (for the game-tying triple) – the ball just stayed up in the zone. That was one of those sinkers that stayed up."
Pineiro has thrown a lot of those in the second half. Going into Monday's start, he was 0-3 with a 10.21 ERA in eight appearances (five starts) since the All-Star break. But Scioscia saw enough – and has limited alternatives – to keep Pineiro in the rotation for now.
"I thought it was a step forward for JP," Scioscia said. "He'll get another start, for sure. He gave us a chance to win. He's not back locked in where he was early in the season when he first came off the DL. But he's definitely made some adjustments. We're going to need him."
The Angels gave Pineiro a lead with a three-run burst in the fourth inning. Mark Trumbo's 24th home run of the season was the loudest blow of the inning – literally and figuratively. With a sparse crowd on hand to watch the last-place Mariners, Trumbo's two-run blast could be heard clanging off the facing of the second deck in left field.
Vernon Wells followed with a single and Erick Aybar drove him in with a two-out RBI double that gave the Angels a brief lead. But, like Sunday in Texas, the Angels offense knocked off early for the night. They had just three more hits in the final five innings – two were singles that were followed by inning-ending double plays. The third hit, a double by Trumbo, didn't come until there were two outs in the ninth. Wells then bounced out to end the game.
That left Takahashi's mistake to Carp as the decisive moment in the game. The left-hander had retired the Mariners in order in the seventh. With the game still tied, Scioscia felt he had to guard his limited bullpen options – the reliable Scott Downs and closer Jordan Walden – and sent Takahashi out for a second inning.
"If we had taken a lead, we would have had Scott in there," Scioscia said. "Since it was a tie game and Takahashi has enough length in him to go back out there for the eighth, it was where we should have been.
"We've had guys that at times have pitched well in building that bridge (between the starting pitcher and the Downs-Walden combo) and we've had guys that have been a little inconsistent. I think Hisanori has pitched terrific baseball. It hasn't always worked out for us but I don't think he's one of those (inconsistent) guys."
This one definitely didn't work out, though. Takahashi gave up a leadoff double to Ackley in the eighth then hung a slider on his first pitch to Carp.
"It was a slider – I wanted it down and away but it was the opposite side," Takahashi said through his interpreter. "Just a hanging slider. He hit it. That's all it was about."

Notre Dame running back Cierre Wood announced Monday he will enter the NFL Draft, closing the book on four up-and-down years in South Bend.
"Cierrehas been an important member of our football team in my three years at NotreDame and I appreciate all he did to help get our program back on top," NotreDame coach Brian Kelly said in a statement released by the team. "I wish him well in the future and hope hehas a successful playing career at the next level."
Rated as a four-star prospect from Oxnard, Calif., Wood committed to Notre Dame while the Charlie Weis regime was still in place. He got to campus in 2009 expecting to make an impact right away, but much to his disappointment rode the bench all season.
"I really didn't want to be here, because who really wants to if you're not playing," Wood told CSNChicago.com in 2011. He added: "I never lost my love of the game, I just wanted to take my talents somewhere else."
A few factors helped keep Wood at Notre Dame following his freshman season, though. First and foremost was the firing of Charlie Weis, and beyond that, a close relationship with Manti Te'o helped the linebacker push Wood to remain in South Bend.
Wood viewed a new coaching staff as an opportunity to prove himself -- something he'd have to do if he transferred anyways -- and used that as motivation to force his way up Notre Dame's depth chart. And having Te'o at his side helped restore the swagger Wood lacked in 2009.
"I'm a linebacker, I mean, I couldn't tell him how to run the ball," Te'o said. "I just gave him points on how to gain the confidence that he once had that got him here."
In 2010, Wood led Notre Dame in rushing attempts and yards, getting a long look after Armando Allen was lost for the season in late October. He averaged 5.1 yards per carry and also caught 20 passes for 170 yards, offering a glimpse of the breakout season he went on to have in 2011.

As Notre Dame's feature back, Wood rushed 217 times for 1,102 yards and nine touchdowns in his junior season. He had at least 20 carries in five of Notre Dame's 13 games, and only had single-digit carries in one game -- that being Oct. 22 against USC, in which fellow running back Jonas Gray only had four carries.
But just when it looked like Wood was at the top of his game, he was forced out of it. He was hit with a two-game suspension to begin the 2012 season, and he quickly lost his No. 1 running back job to close friend and roommate Theo Riddick.
"Not playing was terrible," Wood said. "You practice all summer, put in so much work and so much time, and to not play those first two games was heartbreaking."
Wood finished the 2012 season with 114 carries, five fewer than he had his sophomore year. He gained 742 yards, though, featuring runs of 62 and 68 yards against Oklahoma and Wake Forest, respectively.
His first big game of 2012 came Oct. 6 against Miami, in which he carried 18 times for 118 yards with two touchdowns. After the game, Wood said it was only a matter of time before he had a game like that -- just as long as the touches came his way.
"I was past overdue," Wood explained. "When I say it's just a matter of when I get the ball and stuff like that, I know I can ball out and I can make plays almost every play. It's just a matter of when the opportunity presents itself."
Confidence certainly wasn't the issue for Wood in 2012. This is the same guy who said of Te'o: "He thinks he can guard me, but he cant. I dont care how good he is, he cant guard me."
Wood finished his final season with Notre Dame averaging a career-best 6.5 yards per carry, a number he certainly was proud of. It lent itself to more confidence -- even if Wood's carries were cut.
While Wood's decision to leave reportedly weighed heavily on his desire to support his 1-year-old daughter, he's also leaving a less-than-ideal situation behind in South Bend. With George Atkinson III returning, Amir Carlisle and Will Mahone ready to contribute and a pair of highly-touted recruits coming to campus, Notre Dame's running back depth chart will be crowded in 2013.
Wood would've been Notre Dame's best running back next year, but it's also worth noting he was probably Notre Dame's best running back in 2012. And that didn't stop him from seeing single-digit carries in five of his 11 games.
In a statement released by the team, Wood was appreciative of the support he received during his time at Notre Dame.
There are so many people I need to thank that have helped get me to this point," Wood said. "My teammates are friends I know Ill have the rest of my life. Ill miss hanging out with them in the locker room and around campus. They are a great group of guys and are poised for success next year.
I also want to thank all of the coaches, specifically Coach Kelly and Coach Alford. Coach Kelly has the program heading in the right direction and Im happy to know hell remain our head coach in the future. Coach Alford has been so much more than a coach to me. Hes been a mentor and a role model. Hes helped turn me into the man I am today.
Lastly, I want to thank the school, our fans and the extended Notre Dame family. The love and appreciation youve shown me in my four years can never be repaid. Ill always remember the ovation I received as I ran out of the tunnel on senior day and I cant thank you enough.
Per Irish Illustrated, Wood is projected as a mid-round pick in April's NFL Draft, although he could certainly improve that position with good showings at the combine and during workouts over the next few months. The talent is there, and as long as the confidence is too, Wood has the chance to carve out a solid career in the NFL.
"I believe there isnt nobody out there that can tackle me, there isnt nobody out there that I havent faced that Im not better than," Wood boasted in October. "So with that being said, I go into every run that I get or every play, period, thinking that Im the baddest."

Trans Oceanic Fan Fund
Called TOFF and sometimes TOFFund, it was a fan fund created by John and Bjo Trimble to bring a Japanese fan, Takumi Shibano, to the 1968 Worldcon. They hoped it would be the PanPacificon they were bidding, but, regardless, it would be to the winner. In the event, it was Baycon in 1968.
As they described for Nippon 2007:
|We first met Takumi (and Sachiko) Shibano through the "L.A. in '68" WorldCon bid several Los Angeles fans started after Tricon. As part of our bid, we decided to launch the "Trans-Oceanic Fan Fund" (TOFF), designed to bring someone from Japan to the '68 WorldCon.
To this end, we corresponded with long-time SF fan, Roy Tackett, recently returned from military service in Japan. While there, he had contacted Japanese fandom, so we figured that he might know someone to bring over to the US. Tackett told us about Takumi Shibano, a math teacher who read English and greatly enjoyed reading American and British science fiction.
They published Maneki-Neko to promote the fan fund.

SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/C #31468 Crew Works on New Oxygen Generator ISS014-E-10282 : Expedition 14 crew Image above: Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin (left) holds a camera in the Destiny laboratory of the International Space Station. Also pictured are Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria (center) and Flight Engineer Suni Williams. Image credit: NASA - TO VIEW PICTURE GO TO: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html The Expedition 14 crew members spent a busy week aboard the International Space Station working to install a new oxygen-generating system, adding soundproofing in the living quarters and unpacking supplies delivered by the space shuttle in December. Commander Mike Lopez-Alegria and Flight Engineer Suni Williams primarily focused this week on the first phase of installing a new oxygen-generating system. This additional system will be needed as a supplement to the Russian Elektron oxygen generator when the permanent crew aboard the station expands from three to six people. The new system will be activated and tested later this year. Meanwhile, Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin spent several days this week modifying the ventilation system in the service module to run more quietly. He added two new noise-isolation crew cabin fans, sound deadening vibration isolators and air ducts with acoustic shields. On Friday, Lopez-Alegria and Williams took time out from their tasks to speak with students at the Columbia Explorers Academy. The students asked the astronauts about living in orbit and the goals of their mission. + Read more about Expedition 14 + Read more about Expedition 15 + View crew's daily timelines Jan. 5, 2007 Grey Hautaluoma Headquarters, Washington 202-358-0668 James Hartsfield Johnson Space Center, Houston 281-483-5111 STATUS REPORT: SS07-01 INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION STATUS REPORT: SS07-01 HOUSTON - New gear helped the astronauts on the International Space Station kick off a new year as they prepared a second oxygen-generating system, upgraded soundproofing in the living quarters and unpacked supplies delivered just before Christmas by the space shuttle. After a New Year's Day holiday, station Expedition 14 Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria and Flight Engineer Suni Williams spent most of the week installing the U.S. oxygen generation system activation kit in the Destiny laboratory. The parts had been delivered on shuttle mission STS-121 in July 2006. The new generator will supplement the Russian Elektron oxygen system on the station. The additional oxygen generating capacity will be important as the standard station crew size increases to six as the complex grows. In their work with the new system this week, Lopez-Alegria and Williams installed a hydrogen vent valve and power, data and fluid hoses and cables. The system will be activated and tested later this year. Meanwhile Expedition 14 Flight Engineer and cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin worked in the Russian segment of the station, where he upgraded soundproofing of the ventilation system. Tyurin installed new fans, sound-deadening vibration isolators and air ducts with acoustic shields to reduce the noise they create. This morning, Lopez-Alegria and Williams took time out from their work to share their mission with a group of students in the fifth through eighth grades from the Columbia Explorers Academy. From the Adler Planetarium in Chicago the students asked the astronauts about living in orbit and the goals of their mission. Also this week, the crew finished unpacking and stowing supplies delivered last month on shuttle mission STS-116, and they marked milestones in two laboratory experiments. On Tuesday, Williams set up the hardware for the Test of Reaction and Adaptation Capabilities, or TRAC investigation. It is a NASA-sponsored experiment jointly managed by scientists from Germany and Canada. Crew members' hand and eye coordination are tested before, during and after missions. For the tests, subjects use a joystick to control a cursor on a computer screen and respond to audio and visual stimuli. The experiment gathers data about how, and to what extent, the brain adapts to weightlessness. Crew members completed the final operations of a biological experiment on the impact of varying levels of light and gravity on plant root growth. The final images of samples in the European Modular Cultivation System were taken and downlinked, and the samples were stowed in a freezer for eventual return to Earth.

A few months back, the representatives of an emerging jewelry brand called Kamushki have sent me an e-mail to introduce me to their brand. I was familiar with their designs thanks to instagram's explore page, but I never found out the name of their brand until they've contacted me. Kamushki is a brand that was co-founded by two Libyan-born Switzerland/Dubai-based sisters who had an eye for jewellery and loved to travel to build a knowledge of other cultures.
"In Libya we are big believers of the evil eye and one of the symbols of protection that breaks the eye is the fish.", expressed one of the founders of Kamushki. "In our Libyan traditional clothing there is always big gold fish intertwined within our heavy gold and also we tend to gift a bracelet or small pin with a fish when there is a new born."
Their brand is designed for the 'contemporary, chic and courages' woman, and the unique designs in the Wishbone and Cyrene collection perfectly embody its heroine muse, creating innovative and eye catching jewellery that tells a story.
The creative sisters came up with their first collection which is the Wishbone collection. They used the fish but reintroduced it in modern, fun and chic way, hence the bone. As for Cyrene collection, it was named after Greek Women warrior which later on a city in Libya that was conquered by the Greeks was named after her. By using sports and fitness symbols such as dumbbells, barbells, medallions and whistles - the everyday items found at the gym, the Cyrene collection is designed to empower the wearer.

At least one operator in the North Sea has resumed flights with a Eurocopter Super Puma helicopter this week, the BBC reported on Tuesday, though it's a different model from the one that crashed into the sea on Aug. 23, killing four passengers. That Super Puma was on a normal approach to landing until about three miles from the runway, according to a preliminary report from the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch, "when there was a reduction in airspeed accompanied by an increased rate of descent." The helicopter was "intact and upright" when it crashed into the sea about two miles offshore. Fourteen passengers and the pilot survived.
Operators had voluntarily grounded the fleet, which comprises more than half of the aircraft serving the offshore oil industry in the UK. Bristow, an offshore helicopter operator, has resumed flying with a Super Puma AS332 L, a slightly different model from the L2 that crashed. Britain's Civil Aviation Authority said on Friday it doesn't think the accident was caused by an airworthiness or technical problem, according to Reuters, and the agency supported the operator's decision to resume flights. However, the AAIB said it didn't yet know what had caused the accident. The cockpit voice and data recorder was recovered last week. Industry unions have called for caution in using the fleet, noting that Super Pumas have been involved in five incidents since 2009.
Embraer delivered its first modernized A-1 jet, the A-1M fighter, to the Brazilian Air Force on Tuesday, at the company's industrial plant in Sao Paulo. The subsonic A-1 light jet is "fundamental" to the defense of Brazil, said Air Force Gen. Juniti Saito. "Its modernization presents a big gain in capability." Embraer said it plans to refurbish and modernize 43 of the jets. The new versions will feature upgraded systems for navigation, weaponry, oxygen generation, multimode radar, and electronic countermeasures. The new systems are similar to those found on F-5Ms and A-29 Super Tucanos, the company said, to make it easier for pilots and mechanics to adapt.
The A-1M jet can be used for air-to-ground attack, bombing, tactical air support and reconnaissance missions. The new upgrades include avionics that are compatible with night-vision goggles and head-up displays, according to Defense Industry Daily. The A-1 fleet entered service in 1990. The new refurbished airplanes are expected to remain in service until 2025.
The safety of cabin crew in commercial aircraft has always been governed by the FAA, but under a new federal policy, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration now will have oversight over issues such as hazardous chemicals, exposure to blood-borne pathogens, and hearing protection. Our cabin crewmembers contribute to the safe operation of every flight each day, said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. Were taking an important step toward establishing procedures for resolving cabin crew workplace health and safety concerns. The FAA said it will work with OSHA to ensure that any new requirements will not adversely affect aviation safety.
The new policy, which was published in August, was required by the FAA Modernization and Reform Act, which took effect last year. Safety is our number one priority, said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "It's important that cabin crewmembers on our nations airlines benefit from OSHA protections, including information about potential on-the-job hazards and other measures to keep them healthy and safe. The Association of Flight Attendants said it has been lobbying for OSHA protection since 1975, when the FAA claimed exclusive jurisdiction over workplace safety and health for all crewmembers while working on board commercial flights.
While most Americans and Canadians are enjoying a three-day weekend in honor of Labor Day, the skies are full of pilots who are doing their jobs despite the holiday. According to federal statistics, more than 100,000 U.S. workers earn their living in a cockpit, including all kinds of flying -- charter, helicopters, cargo, corporate flight departments, rescue operations, firefighting, aerial photography, crop dusting, and more. Few of those jobs allow for standard weekends and holidays off, and all of them require a hearty work ethic. To celebrate these workers, and to entertain our readers who might have a day off, we selected a few videos from around the web showing pilots doing their jobs -- often under trying, or even terrifying, circumstances.
A video posted just a few days ago by the Royal Canadian Air Force shows pilots from the U.S. and Canada working with Russian pilots in an exercise designed to practice responses to a hijacking. This video, shot from inside the cockpit, shows pilots from the Air National Guard working to fight the recent fires near Yosemite Valley in California. In Peru, a couple of pilots in a twin turboprop fly a challenging -- some might say frightening -- winding approach to a mountain airstrip. And in Afghanistan, a recent Marine video recognizes the work of the ground crews the pilots depend on.
As the FAA updates its written knowledge exams, bringing them into the light of the 21st Century, perhaps ADF and VOR questions will go the way of gas-operated landing lights. Embrace this age of aviation enlightenment by acing this quiz.
Take the quiz.

Heres my definition of a bad day: You overhauled your Barons IO-520s a couple of years ago using cylinders from ECI and now the FAA would like you to remove those jugs and replace them with something else. Round it off and call that about $25,000.
Thats the basic gist of a proposed airworthiness directive the FAA announced two weeks ago and about which weve been reporting regularly. The AD targets about 30,000 ECI cylinders of various vintages for two kinds of cracking: a failure in the shrink band that holds the head to the cylinder barrel via an interference fit and cracking in the dome of the head. Both flaws can result in catastrophic cylinder failure, but not necessarily complete engine failure.
On this much, the FAA and ECI agree, but they see eye-to-eye on little else. They dont agree on the number of actual failures in the fieldthe FAA says more than 30, ECI says it can confirm 19. Nor do they agree on the failure mechanism. In the AD documentation, the FAA says it doesnt know what the failure modes are, just the results, while ECI insists that the head/barrel separations were caused by overheating due to pilot engine mismanagement. Maddeningly, the governments own NPRM process precludes the FAA from supplying specific information on its methodology or the underpinnings of its conclusion to demand removal of these cylinders. The AD docket gives some information, of course, but ECI says it has a lot of questions the FAA isnt answering.
In my view, no reasonable person could look at the available dataa combination of Service Difficulty Report analysis, field reports and in-house manufacturing historyand feel confident of having an accurate picture of reality. In short, the data is just too sketchy. It may be biased toward classifying failures that arent head/barrel separations or it may very well miss many that are. I'm not sure you can tell which is which from reviewing the data.
Taking the broader view from this too vague compilation of dodgy numbers and unsupported theories, ECI concedes this: When compared to Continental Motors OEM cylinders, its incidence of head/barrel separation is much higher, although just how much higher we dont know. They dont either because they dont have accurate numbers for the Continental OEM cylinder population. ECI says it has about 25 percent of the cylinder market and during the period 2002 to 2012, ECI insists it had 19 verified head/barrel separations compared to 24 for Continental on the same 520/550 cylinders. The raw data ECI provided us showed 36 failures, but the company says many of those were unverified or improperly classified.
Just to grasp at some kind of solid foundation in a field of numbers that just dont add up, lets accept ECIs 19 failures. As these things go, thats comparable to the Continental record, except for one thing: it applies to a much smaller population of cylinders, so the rate of failure is at least twice as high, but could be four or more times as high, depending on whether ECIs estimate of its cylinder market share is accurate. On a rough per engine basis, the 30,000 ECI cylinders under the gun represent 5000 engines, meaning that with 19 incidents, the per engine rate is one failure per 263 engines. For Continental engines, the rate is much lower, perhaps as much as four or more times lower.
Isnt that damning for ECI? It certainly doesnt look good. Theres got to be some explanation for ECIs higher failure rate. And there is, but first, lets put things in perspective. Worst case, at least from the data we have and with the caveats Ive described, the percentage of ECI cylinders with head/head barrel separations is 0.12 if you accept the FAA data and about half that if you take ECIs data. Moreover, ECI's data shows a declining incidence of head/barrel separations, with none at all during the past two years. Its statistical analysis suggests the separations are in decline in the target cylinder population.
While its true that these rates and percentages are worse than for Continental cylinders, we are still talking about very small risks indeed. Could it be that there have actually been many more ECI head/barrel separations than have been reported? Maybe, but if thats so, why havent any of the six engine shops I canvassed two weeks ago seen them? It seems reasonable that if theres a breaking wave of heads flying off of barrels, at least some of the shops would know about them. They dont seem to. Nor have we heard from any readers with direct experience following the ECI story.
As I reported two weeks ago, what some of the shops have seen is what I call pedestrian crackingcracks around fuel injector bosses, spark plug holes and the like. Some shops think ECI cylinders are more susceptible to this and have stopped recommending them, but thats an entirely different consideration that has nothing to do with head/barrel separations.
So against this backdrop of uncertain data and a small risk, the FAA proposes the potential of an $83.3 million AD to selectively remove these cylinders from service, the cost to be borne entirely by owners. Given the weakness of the data and the small numbers, this is obviously hitting a small nail with an exceedingly large hammer. Absent better data from the FAA, I just dont see how this AD is justified.
But thats not to say nothing should be done. ECI doesnt challenge the fact that Continental OEM cylinders have a much lower rate of head/barrel separation. Their explanation for this is that their cylinders live in a different market segment thats heavy on older or aftermarket applications in which pilots dont have sophisticated engine monitoring and are thus more likely to mismanage engines and thermally stress their cylinders, which ECI says is the failure cause, not manufacturing or quality issues. When I visited ECI in San Antonio last week, they showed me data that clearly showed how cylinder mating threads are stressed by over temping, with the load curve heading straight up above 450 degrees or so.
But Im not quite ready to buy this argument, frankly. Plenty of Continental OEM cylinders go on older Bonanzas and Cessnas and theres no reason to believe the pilots of those airplanes are any more or less hamfisted with the mixture knob than are ECI cylinder buyers. And ECI doesnt have the electronic data from any cylinder failure events to correlate the theory in the real world.
Bottom line, ECI cylinders fail at a higher rate, but not so high as to represent meaningful additional risk worthy of the FAAs massive AD. The risk here is too small for the FAA to wade in and dent owners with this kind of overbroad, expensive AD. While the FAA has a duty to protect the public safety, it should do so reasonably and with cost in mind. Small or marginal risksand this appears to be in that categoryshould be left up to aircraft owners to judge and mitigate. In my view, a non-mandatory service bulletin that summarizes the data and advises owners of the failure pattern and rate and how to inspect cylinders for potential cracks seems the fair way to approach this. Owners can then make their own risk/cost assessments, which is what owning an airplane is all about anyway. Then watch the situation for a couple of years and revisit as necessary. Otherwise, the AD ought to be dropped for now.

There either is or is not, that's the way things are. The colour of the day. The way it felt to be a child. The saltwater on your sunburnt legs. Sometimes the water is yellow, sometimes it's red. But what colour it may be in memory, depends on the day. I'm not going to tell you the story the way it happened. I'm going to tell it the way I remember it.
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is an innovative, original episodic video and social media series produced for the web. Adapting Pride and Prejudice to the modern era, Lizzie Bennet tells the classic Jane Austen tale from the point of view of an Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet who grew up in a world of cell phones, video cameras, and social media. The series was created by popular YouTube personality Hank Green and Streamy Award winning web video writer Bernie Su.
The holiday season is bringing more than cheer for actress Jessica Capshaw. The Grey's Anatomy star announced on Monday that she and her husband, Honest Company co-founder Christopher Gavigan, are expecting their fourth child. "The holidays have certainly arrived … All of our lives are being added to by the lights, the music and cheer!!" she captioned a photo of her family at a Christmas tree farm on Instagram. "This year our family has reason to further broaden our smile … baby number four is on the way!! I am a lucky, lucky girl…"
The quickest way to tell whether an actor is serious about his or her career is to look at their "headshot".Is it a professional photo? Or is it a snapshot taken on prom night? If you're using a snapshot, it's like showing up to race the Indy 500 in a VW Beetle. Nobody is going to take you seriously. I'm sorry, people… you can send me as much angry e-mail as you want about this, but it's true! Don't tell me you're destined to be a major Hollywood star but you cannot scrape together the cash to get professional headshots.
The Grinch from Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

I just got back home from a very good trip to Europe. As you guys have seen in my other posts, I was first in Ireland and then we went to Berlin, Germany. I am not going to lie, it was very cold but I am glad I had the right clothes on.
For this outfit you can plan the layers based on how cold it is. I wore the sweater underneath the trench coat because the trench is not very thick so I needed an extra layer. What do you think? I got more outfit ideas coming soon so make sure to keep checking the blog.

I always thought that it comes across as a kind of consolation than congratulation when you are told that forty is your new thirty at your 40th birthday. When I was young, I just could not wait for growing older, bigger and stronger. However to the contrary, most of us try hard to seize youth if we could when we cross 40th mark. After all, I passed my 40th mark more than a year ago.
I could not help but realize more and more wrinkle lines crawling on my face once it was all shining smooth. Well I never freaked out when I passed that mark. But I was not able to grasp what I really felt then. I guess that it was more like the flavor of Chinese five spice. I had looking-forward and fear equally, some more or some less.
We fear something we know and other thing we even do not know. We fear fading of our physical appealing, fear reducing of physical capacity, fear losing of life excitment, ……. even fear getting closer of death. I realize that aging gracefully is beautiful in mind but hard in reality.
It is an old Chinese wisdom that you have made it already when you turn into 30 if you are gonna go somewhere. You should settle in for what you have at the turn of 40. Nowaday, we are living much longer life. But we might still have our old mind set.
One day When I did my routine driving back from work across the same beautiful field, wild flowers, trees and mountain range with simply blue sky, my horizon loomed right in front of me and become extending beyond. I suddenly felt fear less as when I was a kid. I come to realize that fear or less lies in our perception toward the future, present and surrounding.
When we appreciate our life cycle just like the rotation of the Nature, Spring evolving into Summer, Fall turning to Winter,
When we realize that our new forty can be better than old thirty,
When we can not wait for another adventure tomorrow before today becomes yesterday,
When we open our mind for posibilities new and exciting,
When we live in present and look forward into future
This I believe we can age gracefully.

Braves-Mets Preview
The New York Mets likely are headed to the playoffs for the first time in nine years, and all signs point to Jonathan Niese being the odd man out when manager Terry Collins trims the rotation.
Niese has a couple more auditions left to make his case, including Monday night when the Mets open a three-game series with the visiting Atlanta Braves.
New York (84-65) holds a six-game lead over Washington atop the NL East despite having dropped four of five after Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Yankees. Barring a collapse, the Mets will make their first postseason appearance since 2006.
Clubs usually go with a shortened rotation in the playoffs, and Niese (8-10, 4.31 ERA) more than likely won't be a part of it with Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard and Bartolo Colon expected to have spots.
Niese didn't do himself any favors by posting a 10.53 ERA over his previous four starts, but he bounced back by allowing two earned runs in six innings of a 10-7, 10-inning win over the Braves on Sept. 13.
"He certainly had much better command and made pitches when he had to," Collins said. "Hopefully that is what you're going to see from him the rest of the way."
The left-hander is 2-1 with a 2.53 ERA in five career starts when pitching on at least six days' rest and has a 2.04 ERA in three starts against Atlanta this season.
The Braves (60-90), though, are coming off a weekend sweep of Philadelphia after three consecutive 2-1 wins. A.J. Pierzynski singled home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth Sunday after Julio Teheran was solid for 8 1-3.
Atlanta hasn't won four straight since July 1-4.
"To win a game like that is good," said Pierzynski, who entered in the ninth for the injured Christian Bethancourt. "Winning another (one-run game), especially after the way Julio pitched (and) the way we did it is fun."
Nothing has been entertaining about Shelby Miller's 22-start winless streak, the longest in history for a pitcher who was named an All-Star during the season.
Miller (5-15, 3.00), who last won May 17, has lost six straight starts with a 5.56 ERA after Toronto tagged him for five runs in a season-low 3 2-3 innings of Wednesday's 9-1 defeat. If the right-hander can maintain or improve his current ERA, he'll become the first pitcher since Melido Perez, Jim Abbott and Tom Candiotti in 1992 to finish with at least 15 losses despite an ERA of 3.00 or better.
"It's got to be tough for a young man to go through what he's going through," manager Fredi Gonzalez said of Miller, whose 2.37 run-support average is the worst in baseball. "I think if he keeps his nose to the grindstone, he'll be a better person, a better pitcher at the end of it."
Miller has faced the Mets twice this season, allowing three runs in a Braves win June 13 and in a loss Sept. 10. Lucas Duda is 4 for 10 with a homer and a double lifetime off Miller.
It's unclear if Juan Uribe, acquired from the Braves on July 24, will be in the lineup for the Mets after leaving Sunday's game with a bruised chest suffered when he made a diving play in the fifth inning.
New York swept a four-game series in Atlanta when the clubs last faced each other Sept. 10-13. The Mets have won five of the six matchups at Citi Field.

As you return to campus, no longer a new student, but perhaps not completely decided about your next three years at CMC, what new things will you try this year? What will you focus your energies on? Will you study abroad next year, or even this spring? What about internships? From determining your major to exploring opportunities away from CMC, how do those decisions shape who you are and where you want to go after CMC? Faculty and staff will be seated with you at dinner to help guide a discussion as you and your classmates consider some of these topics.
All attendees will receive a special class gift from the Dean of Students office. This event is for current sophomores only. Sophomores must sign up to attend this dinner. Space is limited, so don't miss out!
The reception will begin at 5:30 pm in Flamson Plaza, dinner will be served at 6:00 pm and will include facilitated table discussions with faculty and staff.

Does the size of your ukulele matter?If you are a beginner to uke, you may find further confusion with different sizes of uke. They start from the super small to ukes not far off the size of a guitar. But which is which, and which do you want? Does it matter?
Well, generally speaking, the smaller the uke, the more of a uke sound I think it has - a shriller sound if you like. Go up the sizes and as well as volume increases you will get a fuller thicker and more resonant sound. Despite what you will read in all sorts of places though, they don't get 'deeper' or 'lower' as they get bigger. Only the Baritone is traditionally tuned deeper - the soprano, concert and tenor are all tuned the same (in standard tuning). It's just that the bigger bodies get more resonant - they are in the SAME register though.
The sizes are often linked to their "scale length". That means the length between nut and bridge, an is a gauge of both the size of the instrument generally, but also the amount of notes you can play on the neck (quite simply as a longer neck allows for more frets, and therefore a wider range of notes)
NOTE - there is an increasing amount of bad advice out there that larger sizes are easier to play. This is generally a BIG myth. Sure, larger sizes do give a little more space between frets, but it is quite marginal and not in the direction that beginners need the space. Far more important to comfort is the nut width and the neck profile (the shape of the back of the neck) across the width of the ukulele. I own some sopranos with wide nuts that have far more space on the fretboard than many concerts and are comparable to some tenors. If you are finding a soprano a squeeze, a concert will not change your life - it just means you need more practice.
But please please please - don't fall into the trap of believing that one is 'better' than the other.
The standard sizes of ukes are:
Soprano (or standard) - approx 13" scale length - the little baby uke. Great for a beginner and the traditional and most loved ukulele. In fact - probably the king of ukes. They can have a limited number of frets limiting some high notes on fancier tunes when fingerpicking. Usually tuned GCEA (C tuning) with a high G, though other variants exist such as ADF#B (D tuning)
Concert - approx scale length 15" - slightly larger body gives more volume and resonance to the sound. Longer scale allows more frets and therefore more range in your notes. This is quickly becoming the best recommended uke for a beginner though I am not sure why, but still obviously "uke looking"! - usually tuned GCEA with a high G, but larger concerts work well with a low G
Tenor - approx scale length 17" - bigger still - tuned usually low GCEA or occasionally DGBE. A richer more resonant tone and lots of frets!
Baritone - approx scale length 19" - the big daddy - usually tuned DGBE or can be tuned GCEA. Usually in that lower tuning (same as a guitar) the Baritone is the most bassy ukulele. Apart from the bass ukulele... which isn't actually a ukulele.. it's a bass... of sorts....
And thats the basics of it - the uke you choose depends on where you want the instrument to fit in with your band or set up. If you are just looking to start a uke for fun, and have never played before I would look at a soprano personally, though all the others have their place too..
It does get more complicated still (such as Sopranino sizes, Sopranos with concert necks, 6 string ukes etc) but that would be for another guide!

Members of parliament: Law and ethics
Gerard Carney
Members of Parliament - Law and Ethics provides a critical appraisal of the legal and ethical standards of members which underpin the integrity of our parliamentary institutions, by focusing on the three sources of those standards:
Part I - Qualifications and disqualifications
Part II - Parliamentary privilege
Part III - Standards of conduct
Linking these three areas is the fundamental duty of members to act in the public interest rather than in their personal interest. While the focus is particularly on the position of members of all Australian parliaments and legislatures, the principles examined are relevant to all Westminster parliaments throughout the Commonwealth. Part I provides a comprehensive analysis of the highly technical grounds of disqualification which candidates and members need to avoid to prevent disqualification from parliament. Part II commences with an overview of the powers and immunities which members enjoy as parliamentary privileges and then proceeds to examine contemporary issues including the impact of the implied freedom of political communication. Part III focuses on particular legal and ethical standards of members, such as those in relation to corruption, confidentiality, and conflict of interest.
Directors' powers and duties
Jim F. Corkery
Corporate law relating to company management is gaining much greater prominence than ever before. This book discusses the various duties of company directors to their companies and to the shareholders and creditors. It also describes their powers, and the remedies and enforcement procedures available where they have abused their power, defaulted, or failed to act in accordance with their duties to the company.
The author discusses practical situtations and uses comparative statutory provisions and cases to give perspective and suggest possible solutions to corporate law problems.
This book will satisfy the law student's need for a clear and thematic treatment of the law, and the practitioner's and company director's needs for comprehensive and readable coverage of major topics and a ready reference to practical aspects of the law.

XML Elements
An XML document contains XML Elements.
What is an XML Element?
An XML element is everything from (including) the element's start tag to (including) the element's end tag.
An element can contain:
- other elements
- text
- attributes
- or a mix of all of the above...
<book category="CHILDREN">
<title>Harry Potter</title>
<author>J K. Rowling</author>
<book category="WEB">
<title>Learning XML</title>
<author>Erik T. Ray</author>
In the example above, <bookstore> and <book> have element contents, because they contain other elements. <book> also has an attribute (category="CHILDREN"). <title>, <author>, <year>, and <price> have text content because they contain text.
Empty XML Elements
An alternative syntax can be used for XML elements with no content:
Instead of writing a book element (with no content) like this:
It can be written like this:
This sort of element syntax is called self-closing.
XML Naming Rules
XML elements must follow these naming rules:
- Names can contain letters, numbers, and other characters
- Names cannot start with a number or punctuation character
- Names cannot start with the letters xml (or XML, or Xml, etc)
- Names cannot contain spaces
Any name can be used, no words are reserved.
Best Naming Practices
Make names descriptive: <first_name>, <last_name>.
Make names short and simple, like this: <book_title> not like this: <the_title_of_the_book>.
Avoid "-". If you name something "first-name," some software may think you want to subtract name from first.
Avoid ".". If you name something "first.name," some software may think that "name" is a property of the object "first."
Avoid ":". Colons are reserved to be used for something called namespaces (more later).
Non-English letters like éòá are perfectly legal in XML, but watch out for problems if your software doesn't support them.
Naming Styles
There are no naming styles defined for XML elements. But here are some commonly used:
|Lower case
|All letters lower case
|Upper case
|All letters upper case
|Underscore separates words
|Pascal case
|Uppercase first letter in each word
|Camel case
|Uppercase first letter in each word except the first
If you choose a naming style, it is good to be consistent!
XML documents often have a corresponding database. A good practice is to use the naming rules of your database for the elements in the XML documents.
XML Elements are Extensible
XML elements can be extended to carry more information.
Look at the following XML example:
Don't forget me this weekend!
Let's imagine that we created an application that extracted the <to>, <from>, and  elements from the XML document to produce this output:
To: Tove
Don't forget me this weekend!
Imagine that the author of the XML document added some extra information to it:
Don't forget me this weekend!
Should the application break or crash?
No. The application should still be able to find the <to>, <from>, and  elements in the XML document and produce the same output.
One of the beauties of XML, is that it can be extended without breaking applications.

Pocock facing three months out
Australia's Rugby Championship campaign has been hit by news captain David Pocock will be sidelined for up to three months after undergoing knee surgery in Sydney.
Pocock damaged the articular cartilage of his right knee during last Saturday's Bledisloe Cup defeat against New Zealand in Sydney.
He will now miss the rest of the Rugby Championship and his position on November's Spring Tour is also in doubt. Half-back Will Genia will take over as skipper.
Pocock's knee injury has opened the way for rookie Michael Hooper to take over the number seven jersey in Australia's return Bledisloe Cup match in New Zealand on Saturday.
It will be a day of firsts for Hooper - not only has he never played at Auckland's Eden Park, but he is set to make his starting debut against Richie McCaw, a player he has never come up against before.
Hooper has been paying attention to the way his opposite number at the All Blacks goes about his game.
"I think I've watched him (McCaw) more recently than I have over the past years - I've really been taking notice," Hooper said.
"Over the past few weeks, with the potential to come up against him, you start looking at the things he does. He's an outstanding player, someone who I think every open-side flanker in the world will take things from."
The Wallabies admit they were bullied at the breakdown by the All Blacks and Hooper said they will be looking to show more aggression in that area this weekend.
"The physicality is a step up and there are certain things the opposition do to make life difficult for you. So it's a different challenge, but I'm sure I'll speak to Pocock more about it," he said.

Many mouthwashes are formulated with alcohol, which can burn your mouth, as well as dry it out. Despite these downsides, there are some instances where alcohol based mouthwash may be a better option.
Preventing Gum Disease
Gum disease is a serious condition that, untreated, only gets worse. It starts as an infection of your gums, causing inflammation and redness, and eventually progresses to periodontitis.
Bacteria fall below the gums and attack your teeth and jawbone. This leads to infections in your teeth, a receding gum line and tooth loss. Alcohol kills bacteria. If your mouth is free of gum disease, an alcohol based mouthwash can help to keep it that way.
Destroying Plaque Quickly
Mouthwash contains essential oils that help to kill bacteria and destroy plaque, the sticky film that builds up on your teeth and collects bacteria, allowing the bacteria to adhere to your teeth and quickly destroy them with the acids they produce. The alcohol in mouthwash allows the formula to quickly penetrate plaque buildup and provide effective results.
Alcohol or No Alcohol?
The decision on which type of mouthwash to use it up to you. There are many alcohol-free varieties that are just as effective as those that contain alcohol. If you have been using a mouthwash that contains alcohol, and you don't experience any adverse effects, there is no reason to change, unless you want to.
However, if you do experience discomfort with alcohol-based mouthwashes, not only should you switch, you should make an appointment with your dentist to see what is causing irritation to your gums.
There are some instances where using an alcohol based mouthwash may be a better option than using one without. Contact our office to learn the benefits of each and learn which is the best option for you.

Rehydrated 7 grams 71b in goferm. Pitch temp was a little high a 24C but should be OK. So should I waight it out or re pitch? What's the longest any of you have waited to see activity?
Did you attemperate your yeast slurry to the same temp as your must before you pitched?
I usually see a lag that last 4-8 hours

Longford Rose Escort shocked by murder of Michaela Harte
A Longford man who escorted Michaela Harte at the Rose of Tralee festival over six years ago has spoken of his disbelief at learning of the young woman's murder earlier this week.
Barry Mollaghan, a sports physiotherapist in Longford town said he still could not believe the tragic news, two days after the 27-year-old was found murdered in her hotel room in Mauritius.
"I got a call from a friend of mine in Coleraine who told me that she (Michaela) had been found dead. I couldn't believe it," he said.
"It is incomprehensible how such a beautiful girl like Michaela could have been killed. She was a real lady to her fingertips and I am just glad that I had the great privilege of escorting her in the Rose of Tralee."
The organisers of the 2004 Rose of Tralee Contest paired Michaela with the Edgeworthstown native due to their common interests.
"Michaela's brother, Mark was doing physio in the University of Ulster at the time so that was the link," he added.
Michaela, daughter of Tyrone senior football manager Mickey, was on the second leg of her honeymoon with her husband, Down footballer Donal McAreavey whom she married just two weeks previously.
The couple flew out to the Indian Ocean island after spending a number of days in Dubai. Mauritius police believe the young woman was strangled after returning to her hotel room in the four star Legends Hotel complex to fetch some biscuits.
She was found a short time later by her husband when she failed to return. A post-mortem revealed she had been strangled.
Three men, Abinash Treeboowoon, 29, and Sandip Moneea, 41, a floor supervisor appeared in court this morning (Wednesday) charged with the Tyrone native's murder. A third man, Raj Theekoy, 33, is charged with conspiracy to murder. All three were remanded in custody to appear back at a further sitting next Wednesday when they will be either formally charged or released.
For Mr Mollaghan, who runs a physiotherapy business on Longford town's Market Square, the enormity of the past few days has clearly taken its toll. Ulster, the world of Gaelic football and Irish society in general had lost one of its few "shining lights", he said.
"She just had a great spirit about her, a great love of life and of course of Gaelic football. My heart goes out to her family, her father and her husband. It's just so hard to comprehend."

New Revlon Top Speed Swatches
Above: Sugar Plum, a delightful plum shimmer with a plush dimensional effect, this shade also seems to have a slight charcoal base. This shade is further enhanced with red, silver and blue micro glitter. I found all of these shades to be highly pigmented and while they applied nicely, these do dry pretty quick. If you have a small area that you need to go over to correct, work quickly so that your application isn't flawed. 2 coats.
Below: Orchid is a pinkish mauve tone with silver and pink micro glitter. I love the textured look that these finishes have. Both Orchid and Ocean below have a slight foil finish, and they applied almost streak free--if you work fast! When I removed these two, the polish on the cotton balls looked like a straight-up foil. Again, two coats.

The Seattle Times, April 19:
The ultimate narcissist's dream has come true. The Library of Congress announced it will store each Twitter message since the website's start in 2006.
Twitter is donating its extensive collection of tweets, which will be available on a six-month delay for scholarly use.
The sentiment is nice, giving the common person a place in history, but in reality, this endeavor will just save a lot of irrelevant information.
Twitter's recent growth has been phenomenal, to say the least. Last March, 525,000 different people used the site. This March, 22 million users flooded Twitter with more than 50 million tweets per day....
What is the point of storing each and every tweet? Some historians argue this kind of database could provide important information on consumer and societal trends.
Really though, what kind of information can be gathered from a tweet that reads "OMG! I love Starbucks. Second latte of the day!" that cannot be obtained from a detailed financial report?
The best thing to come from this is the prospect that people might become more conscious of what they post online, but that is just being optimistic.
It is indeed significant that Twitter has been recognized as an important part of society, but the pointless chatter making up a large part of the millions of daily tweets is not.

today I have a card to share with you...
third coast challenges (white shabby chic) this was a first for me I have never done a white on white card before....I very lightly colored the carousel stand and ribbons...and added some shading to his main and tail, and some glitter to his horn...I made a mask and sprayed some glimmer mist around him, then mounted him on some pearl paper, took a different color of glimmer mist (sorry I don't know what ones...one is a cream and the other a light silver) and sprayed a doily, then I stuck it all on a card and stamped "friend" in a light grey and added some jewels...I really like how it turned out and to honest with you I didn't think I would :)
