Choosing a word for the coming year is a habit I picked up from another online community and in recent years have discussed with fellow yogalilans.
I'd been talking about it for a while with my friend Lianne , who first pointed me to this post by Christine Kane. Since 2003, I've found that that single word can help bring intentions into focus and become a guiding force, or principle, for actions and choices made in the emerging year. Last year was the first time my word of the year did not ring true - I chose "lighten", as a form of "enlighten", and perhaps I learned that a few letters can attenuate the power and intention of a word so as to reduce its meaning. Perhaps I was hoping for a little levity also, of which I did not get nearly as much as I would like.
This year, I'm keeping my upcoming goals and challenges in mind as I consider my next word of the year. I am in the second year of an M.Sc. program, in the thick of a research project I will be repeating in the spring. The project is a ten week activity intervention (including yoga) with measurements taken before and after, thus taking 12-13 weeks to actually execute, not including recruitment and screening or the time it takes to do assays or analyses. Thus, my timeline and potential outcomes are not at all clear to me, and much like Andrea, in her recent blog post about her broken crystal ball, I see stretching before me a long line of tasks, without an accompanying sense of clear timeline or direction, or even, in the bigger scheme of things, purpose.
So whether by way of command or entreaty, to myself or to others, here's the word that now comes to me: Reveal, though I'm continuing to think about it, and see if anything else is calling for attention.
What word, or words call now to you? I invite you, and my fellow yogalilans, to share what words are rising from the subconscious to consciousness, to act as a guide for the coming year.

A young boy sits near the front of a small room, violin in hand, music on stand. All of the kids in the room appear to be reading the music, as well as playing it. All except this one boy. The boy just sits there, attempting to make out the strange dots and lines on the paper in front of him, while he runs the strange bow across the strings of the violin. While the other kids in the room may be thinking about the music they are playing, this boy is thinking about how it is possible to translate a bunch of lines and dots into a sweet melody. The boy believes the teacher does not notice him, but he is wrong. Very wrong. From the beginning of his life until the moment that follows, this boy has longed to be able to make music. If a boy such as this has such a need for music, why is he so unable to learn to play it? The answer is and was simple: he was playing the wrong instrument. If a boy is meant to play bass, then why is he playing violin? The teacher, of course, knew that she had given him the wrong instrument and was just waiting for the day to give him a different challenge. From the day that boy started to learn to play the bass, he has loved to create music ever since, and it seems to come natural to him.
In the present, the boy in this story is a bass player and a trumpet player. That boy is also me. Although I did not continue to be in the school orchestra in middle school, I quickly took a liking to the trumpet, yet I still enjoy playing the bass. The trumpet brings with it a whole new type of challenge, and I have grown quite attuned to it. In my first year of middle school band, there were many trumpet players, as well as other instrument players. As the years progressed, less and less people continued to play their instruments, but I remained. I believe that it is unfortunate for these people, because if they were to continue with their musical career, they may have achieved greatness. Music has the power to convey emotions, which words often fail to do. A progression of happy, uplifting major chords can instantly change into one that portrays sorrow or anxiety, by simply adding a minor chord. Music doesn't have mass or volume. It cannot be measured. Music is something that relies on a person's mentality.
Looking back on the people that quit music, I realize this: music is opportunity. I say this because I know that it has opened a ton of opportunities for me, and I've seen it do the same for others. Music is something that can be learned. You do not have to be given the "gift of music." Music is powerful both played and listened to. I believe in music's ability to bring out a hidden emotion. This emotion is something I feel both when I'm playing music and when I'm listening to it. I can't help but to express this energy locked up in my core when I hear a beautiful guitar solo. It is not something I can easily express in words. The only true way to express this emotion is through music itself.

This week saw the announcement of the 71-year-olf folk legend, Joni Mitchell as Saint Laurent's Spring Summer 2015 campaign model.
The black and white images, shot by the label's creative director Hedi Slimane in Joni's very own California home, shows the songstress wearing an embroidered tunic, a fedora hat and a leather cape.
Hat's off to Saint Laurent, we couldn't think of a better person to embody the 1970's feel of Saint Laurent's new collection than one of the queens of 70's folk herself, Joni Mitchell.

A three-dimensional account, almost entirely based on original sources, that will ring true to those who have travelled in the footsteps of the pioneers, this book tells the full story of an expedition that has been largely erased from public perception by the drama of Scott's second expedition a decade later. The book's many new insights into an historic British achievement, and its immediate aftermath, should allow an altogether fairer estimation of its ranking in the annals of 20th Century exploration than it has been accorded in the last twenty years. Hampered by an Admiralty, jealous of civilian control of an expedition for which they would have to provide men, and restricted by budgetary restraints unknown to the Germans, whose parallel expedition, funded almost entirely by their government, is recounted in summary form, this was an expedition that: first penetrated the interior of Antarctica, opening the way to a century of research, in the region of its discoveries, that has yielded benefits to everyone on the planet; discovered more about Antarctica than six other expeditions that went south at the dawn of the 20th century; brought back key evidence of the existence of an Antarctic continent rather than a polar archipelago, at that time the greatest prize for geographers and scientists alike; effectively located the 'lost' South Magnetic Pole, so vital to southern hemisphere navigation before the era of satellites; was anything but the prisoner of outdated naval tradition, the methods adopted being almost entirely those expounded by the Norwegian explorer, Nansen, who described its results as "magnificent" - even the number of dogs used was based on the famous explorer's North Pole attempt.

CERT: Another Part of Emergency Preparedness
Recent events like Hurricane Sandy have shown us that a disaster can strike at any time and it is important to be prepared so that you can be self-reliant during an emergency situation. If you have read our advice about emergency preparedness and take this topic very seriously, you probably are in the process of putting together an emergency preparedness kit. Even if you have a water filter, food supplies, and emergency essentials, you may not be completely ready for any type of crisis situation yet. What if you need help suppressing a small fire or searching for loved ones, and emergency responders have no way of getting to you for several hours or even days? You may want to consider training to be on your local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) prior to any disaster.
Humans naturally have a way of coming together in a time of crisis to help one another. CERT, a partner with the federally funded program Citizen Corps, builds on this concept of neighbors helping neighbors. The CERT training program provides emergency response training for groups like community organizations, neighborhood watch, communities of faith, scouting organizations, and workplace employees. The training is typically given in seven weekly sessions with each session lasting about 2 ½ hours. The sessions cover the following topics.
- Disaster preparedness: Participants learn about actions to take before, during, and after a disaster. They also learn the types of disasters that may potentially affect their community and the laws that apply to volunteers in the area.
- Fire Suppression: Participants learn how to assess a fire situation, control utilities, properly use a fire extinguisher, and suppress a small fire. Participants will also receive basic training on hazardous materials and fire hazards.
- Medical Operations: This topic is broken into two sessions. The first session focuses on rapidly diagnosing and treating the "three most common killers": airway obstruction, shock, and bleeding. The second session teaches participants how to set up a medical treatment area, assess an individual, and provide safe and sanitary first aid.
- Light Search and Rescue: Participants learn about planning a search and rescue operation as well as search and rescue techniques, with a primary focus on rescuer safety.
- Disaster Psychology and Team Organization: This topic helps participants understand how victims and workers react emotionally to disasters. Team organization and management principles are also covered.
The last session involves a take-home test and a disaster simulation so the participants can practice the skills they learned throughout the course.
Currently, there are more than 1100 CERT volunteers in the US. Some of these groups were utilized during Hurricane Sandy. For instance, CERT volunteers assisted the Red Cross in staffing a regional shelter in Camden County, New Jersey and groups in Virginia helped provide sandbags to residents. During previous disasters, CERT volunteers have assisted in countless other ways as well.
You never know what can happen in a disaster situation. Do not be unprepared or the consequences may be quite severe. Prepare an emergency preparedness kit and consider CERT training. If you are part of a group that would like CERT emergency response training, you can search for CERT programs near you on the CERT website.
Improve Your Thanksgiving Dinner with Clean Water
This Thursday, millions of Americans will gather around the dinner table to celebrate Thanksgiving. If you are hosting a dinner, you will likely spend the entire morning and early afternoon painstakingly preparing the turkey and other main side dishes. Like any host, you will labor over all of the details, from the marshmallows on the sweet potatoes to the napkins on the table, so that your guests can have the perfect Thanksgiving experience. As a Berkey Filter user who is concerned about your water quality, you obviously will serve filtered water as a beverage option. In addition to drinking water, there are even more ways that you can utilize your purified water to enhance your Thanksgiving dinner. So before you begin the preparations for the big day, take a moment to discover the many of uses of clean water.
Drinking water
Offering your guests clean drinking water is the most obvious way to use your purified water. Both tap water and private well water can have a variety of contaminants including heavy metals, petrochemicals, pesticides, disinfectants, and if you are extremely unfortunate, pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Even if chemicals or disease-causing organisms are not present at harmful levels, the thought of contaminants in your water is less than appetizing. Since your guests will probably prefer to cleanse their palates with clean drinking water as opposed to a contaminant cocktail, make sure to have plenty of purified water ready. It only takes about an hour to make a fresh batch of purified water but you can also filter extra water in advance and store it in a beverage dispenser or your refrigerator. Don't forget to make purified ice using ice trays!
Rinsing food
If you plan to prepare a turkey for dinner, one of the first things you will do with your thawed turkey is rinse the outside of the bird as well as the cavity. The goal is to "clean" the turkey and then coat it with your choice of seasonings. While sage, thyme, or other herb is a seasoning of choice, contaminants are not. Rinsing with unpurified water leaves a residue on the surface of the food which can influence taste. For example, water containing chlorine, the most common disinfectant in water systems, oftentimes has a bleach-like or medicinal taste. The residue left from rinsing with chlorinated water may impart the same unwanted taste in your turkey. This unappetizing aftertaste may occur when you rinse your fruits and vegetables as well so remember to use the purified water.
Boiling water for cooking and preparing hot beverages
As you prepare your side dishes, you will likely boil potatoes, rice, or pasta. This is another step of the food preparation process that can use a little help from your purified water. Just as with rinsing your turkey, fruits, and vegetables, boiling your side dish ingredients in unpurified water will leave a less than palatable residue behind. You may also boil water for tea, coffee, or other hot beverage. Keep in mind that boiling water actually concentrates contaminants like heavy metals. So if you live in an old house with lead pipes or copper pipes with lead solder joints, your plumbing may contribute lead to your drinking water. In this situation, it is advised that you only use cold water for cooking and that you run the tap water for at least one minute prior to use. These extra precautions are time-consuming when you are already in a rush to finish cooking. And then you will worry that you are giving your guests a higher than normal concentration of lead because you had to boil water for tea! Reduce unnecessary worry and stress by boiling only purified water.
Berkey saves the day!
Whether you realize it or not, water is a large part of your dinner preparations for Thanksgiving or any other meal, for that matter. Using water that is contaminant-free not only prevents the consumption of unwanted contaminants but also helps to enhance the flavors of the meal. Before the food preparation frenzy begins, be sure to filter a large amount of water so that you have enough available for cooking as well as drinking. When the festivities begin your guests will enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving meal and you can sit back, relax, and be thankful for your Berkey Water Filter.
What is BPA?
It seems that in recent years the chemical "BPA" has become a big concern. Many companies that sell products like water bottles, for instance, now boast that their products do not contain BPA. When we are shopping, many of us check the tags of food-related plastic products for the words "BPA free" but we don't even know what this phrase really means. So what is BPA and is it a chemical of concern or not?
Where is BPA found?
The abbreviation BPA stands for Bisphenol A. This chemical has been used since the 1960s to produce epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics. Epoxy resins are typically used to coat metal products like bottle lids, canned foods, and water supply pipes. Polycarbonate plastic, which is a hard, clear plastic, is used in many items especially water and infant bottles, food storage containers, tableware, and even compact discs and medical devices. A product that has a recycle code of 3 or 7 may be made with BPA if it is a polycarbonate material.
How are you exposed to BPA?
Although BPA can be found in many common household items, humans are primarily exposed to BPA when it leaches from products into food and beverage items. While polycarbonate plastic is very durable, repeated exposure to high temperatures causes the plastic to break down and release the BPA. This can occur when you repeatedly heat food in BPA-containing plastics in the microwave or pour hot liquid into a plastic container that is composed of BPA. If the container is scratched, it may cause more BPA to be released when heated.
How much BPA are you exposed to every day?
Currently there is controversy over how much BPA we ingest daily. A 2003-2004 CDC National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey detected BPA in 93% of urine samples taken from a study group of 2,517 people aged six years and older. This raised many concerns about BPA and led to a study by the National Institute of Health's National Toxicology Program (NTP) in 2008. This study tried to determine daily intake levels in various age groups and estimated that infant daily exposures range from 1 to 13 micrograms of BPA per kilogram bodyweight (µg/kg bw) while children up to the age of six can range from 0.043 to 14.7 µg/kg bw. Adults were estimated to only have a daily intake ranging from 0.008 to 1.5 ug/kg bw.
The FDA however disagrees with these estimates, claiming that they are too high. Since 2008 there have been more studies about BPA exposure and the FDA reports that average daily intake for infants is more likely to be 0.2 to 0.4 µg/kg bw while children and adults both share an average daily intake of about 0.1 to 0.2 µg/kg bw. The FDA's National Center for Toxicological Research also developed a mathematical model of what happens to BPA inside the body. Apparently, it is not like other toxins that remain in the body tissues for long periods of time. BPA is quickly metabolized to an inactive form and eliminated in both children and adults. If this is true, it is good news because it means the BPA does not have as much time to cause long-lasting effects in the body.
What are the possible effects of BPA exposure?
According to the scientific studies, adults will not likely experience effects from BPA exposure. On the other hand, both the NTP and the FDA recognize the fact that infants, in particular, may have a greater risk of effects from BPA. Infants may not be able to metabolize and eliminate BPA as fast as children and adults since their liver, the organ that detoxifies the body, is still developing. Their neurological and endocrine (glandular) systems are also still developing and might be affected as well. Therefore, NTP and FDA believe there is some concern that infants may experience effects on the brain, prostate or mammary gland, and females may experience early puberty due to the alteration of hormones.
It is important to keep in mind that there is a lot of uncertainty concerning the studies conducted thus far. For instance, most experiments were performed using rodents or primates but not usually humans, making it difficult to know exactly how humans are affected. Also the studies use different experimental designs, meaning that the studies differ in how the test subjects are exposed and how the effects are measured. This lack of consistency between studies makes it difficult to compare the results. Uncertainties such as these mean that we need to be cautious that we are not underestimating or overestimating the risk of exposure and effects from BPA.
Err on the side of caution
FDA recognizes that there are many uncertainties that need to be clarified by more research. In the meantime, the FDA is trying to reduce exposure to BPA by supporting the development of BPA-free linings in infant formula cans as well as other food can linings. The FDA also encourages major manufacturers to stop selling infant bottles and feeding cups that contain BPA.
If you would like to limit your entire family's exposure, it is recommended that if you purchase products that are marked with recycle codes 3 or 7 make certain they are not made of polycarbonate. If you use plastic containers made with BPA, do not put hot or boiling food or drinks into them and do not heat them in the microwave either. Remember to always discard plastic containers that have scratches or pits as these can potentially release more BPA when heated.
As a concerned consumer, it is important for you to stay on top of this research so that you know how to best protect you and your family. The FDA provides a Consumer Updates page and can even email you with recent consumer updates as well.
Election 2012: The Berkey Filter is the Right Water Filter for You
On Election Day, you will be making decisions that you hope will have a positive impact on the country. During this time of great decision-making, take a moment to consider something else that is just as important. It is neither a political office nor legislation but is something that you take for granted every day –and that is clean water. This substance is vital to life on earth and is undeniably a part of your daily activities. Water is so very important but is it as pure as you would prefer, or do you need to improve your water quality? Wouldn't you like to have a water filter that you can use on a daily basis as well as in the event of an emergency to provide you with healthy water that won't make you sick?
There are numerous water filters on the market but we are convinced that the Berkey water filter is the right choice for you. Below are the reasons why the Berkey should get your "vote".
The Berkey filter has your best interests in mind.
Its Black Berkey Purification Elements remove contaminants like bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and chlorine but leave the healthy minerals in your water so that you can enjoy the nutritional benefits.
The Black Berkey Purification Elements will be with you for possibly four years or longer.
Each element has a lifespan of 3000 gallons. If you are using a unit with two elements and use 4 gallons per day (the average daily amount used for a family of four) you can expect the elements to last for about 4 years!
The Berkey filter will not require you to spend all of your hard-earned money.
Since the purification elements have such a long lifespan, the majority of your expense is the initial purchase of the unit with occasional replacement of the elements. No one likes debt whether it is on the national or personal level. Avoid a debt crisis by investing in a cost-efficient Berkey filter.
The Berkey filter is able to meet the varying needs of the people.
The seven model sizes vary from a 1 quart to a 6 gallon storage capacity and most of the units allow for variable element configurations. For example, the Crown Berkey can be run with as little as 2 elements but can accommodate up to 8 elements giving you an unbelievable 24,000 gallon lifespan if all are used at the same time! Using this maximum configuration, the Berkey unit will filter 26 gallons per hour!
The Berkey filter has an excellent reputation in "foreign relations".
The Berkey has traveled the world with missionaries, world explorers, and many other types of Berkey owners. You do not have to worry about your water quality when the Berkey filter is with you.
The Berkey Filter has a dependable "team of advisors".
The Berkey Filters Customer Service Team will not let you down. They are available Monday through Friday, 9AM to 5PM, to provide you with excellent support services concerning unit preparation and assembly, troubleshooting, sales, or any other issue.
We all can admit that Berkey filters are very attractive filtration units, whether they have a stainless steel or blue co-polyester housing, but do not simply choose the Berkey for this reason alone. Make a conscious decision to improve your water's taste, your health, your well-being, and your level of preparedness for any emergency. You deserve the best water filter available. Purchase a Berkey filter today and have hope for a positive future with contaminant-free water!

The Ruderman White Paper on Voting Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities
In 2016, the Ruderman Foundation published a white paper on the barriers that exist to electoral access for persons with disabilities in the United States.
Below is an excerpt from the executive summary:
"People with disabilities in the U.S. regularly struggle to exercise their right to vote despite a patchwork of pieces of legislation that ensure their access to the electoral process. The Government Accountability Office reports that in the 2008 national election 73% of polling places had some potential barrier. A study conducted by Rutgers University and Syracuse University looked at the 2012 election and voters with disabilities and found that if voters with disabilities voted at the same rate as voters with the exact same demographics, but without disabilities, three more million people would have voted in the 2012 election.
"Voting is a sacred trust in a democracy, and it is an obligation of the society to make it accessible to all eligible citizens. To better understand the obstacles that are creating this nation-wide problem and to identify ways to remedy them, we interviewed seven national and three international experts on election administration and accessibility.
"We have identified five primary recurring barriers to voting accessibility for people with disabilities:
- Insufficient poll worker training
- Access barriers to polls (including publicly available transportation)
- Access barriers to elections material and registration material prior to elections
- Stigma (including against developmental and psychiatric disabilities)
- Limitations on resources available to election officials
"In all these cases, the experts contended that we know and have the solutions to the problems and need to ensure rigorous implementation."
International Foundation for Electoral Systems Senior Access and Inclusion Specialist Virginia Atkinson was interviewed for the paper.

TRACY - More than 60 teams representing schools all over Northern California converged on Merrill West High School on Saturday for the Tracy NorCal VEX Toss Up Robotics Tournament.
TRACY - More than 60 teams representing schools all over Northern California converged on Merrill West High School on Saturday for the Tracy NorCal VEX Toss Up Robotics Tournament.
High School and middle school teams from Sacramento, San Joaquin County, the Central Valley and the Bay Area gathered in the gymnasium and the cafeteria to compete using robots they had designed, built and programmed. Participants competed in games of Toss Up, which involves moving small and larger balls into scoring areas while trying to prevent the opponent from scoring, event coordinator Randy Moehnke said.
"This is a practical application of a lot of things they learn in school," Moehnke said. "It's science and math and technology all wrapped up in a very exciting and challenging package. They're learning problem solving. They're learning some programming, some engineering design skills, and they're having fun while they do it."
West was represented in the competition by five teams. Freshmen Paige Mikels, Madhusha Goonesekera, Adam Christensen and James Delgado were members of Team 9378P.
"All of us are in the Space and Engineering Academy and our first-year science class is Engineering 1, which is conceptual physics, so we get to apply the stuff we learn in class to our robot," Christensen said.
The Northern California tournament in Tracy is one in a series of regional competitions throughout the school year, Moehnke said. Winning teams from regional tournaments in California advance to the state championships, which are held at Great America in March.
Two teams from Head Royce School of Oakland and one team from Mira Loma High School of Sacramento qualified for the state championships Saturday, Moehnke said. The state's best teams will go on to the VEX Robotics World Championship at the Anaheim Convention Center in April.
"VEX Robotics is a worldwide organization, so there are high school and middle school teams that compete all over the world," Moehnke said.
Goonesekera said he enjoyed working with his team to build their robot.
"It's fun," he said. "You get to meet new people and you get to build awesome robots. It's really cool."

When I was little, my parents would deny that he wasn't real, even when I began to question it. This hurt and obviously had a lasting impression on me. To me, Santa is just a lie. There was no magic or excitement. He never brought what I asked for, which as a kid, your kind of told he would, but then he doesn't because well your parents don't want you to have a cat, and so they pretend Santa has "run out" or "knows your mom has allergies," or whatever excuse "he" can come up to write you each year. It kind of makes you hate "Santa" and well, I think I would have been better off not believing such a person existed.
I have no problem with fictional Santa. I intend to share the movies and the stories, but my problem is with how personified he is. You can write letters to "Santa," you can sit on "Santa's" lap (which I will never understand why parents force their poor babies to do this when they are obviously terrified of the strange man!), you can see and talk to "Santa", etc. It's like our whole society revolves around this lie that Santa is real and somehow this is okay? To me this lie is harmful.
"I'm simply saying that we should treat the Santa Claus story just like we treat all other stories—as a story. To do otherwise would be to cruelly take advantage of the child's naïveté and possibly hinder his/her intellectual development." (source)I'm sure we will get a lot of backlash from our families, claiming we are robbing our children of their childhood or that our children will ruin it for everyone, but those are really lame excuses to make our kids believe Santa is real.
If your kid needs Santa to have a happy childhood, then there is something wrong with their childhood. Our kids will know of Santa, he will be a fun story, so it's not like we are removing him entirely from the picture. We just aren't going to lie and say he is a real man that can travel the world in one night to deliver toys to thousands of girls and boys.
Our kids will have trips to the park, toys to play with, books to read, etc. You don't need Santa to have a good childhood. Having Santa was actually a bad experience for me, so that's proof that Santa doesn't always make for a happy childhood. What made my childhood happy was having a big backyard to play in, walks to the creek, playing with kittens at Grandma's, etc. I did not need Santa and I am sure my kids won't either.
As for the fear of my kids telling everyone Santa isn't real, well that could be any kid! I remember being told Santa wasn't real in elementary school. Some kids agreed, but others were not ready to accept the truth. It's like telling your kid there is no such thing as monsters, but yet they still think there is one under the bed, even though you have told them they don't exist for the 100th time. They will believe what they want to believe until they are ready to let it go.
Or let's even go with religion. I believe in God, but I don't go around forcing it on others. What about a kid telling your child God isn't real? Maybe the difference there is because if you're religious you can easily say God is real, but when it comes to Santa, you feel extreme guilt because you know it's a lie and you have one of two choices, either continue lying or finally come clean. So I think the reason so many parents get upset over the Santa Claus belief is that we all know it's a lie and we just don't like getting caught.
Also, it is not like we're the only family that won't have Santa. America is a melting pot, with many religions and cultures, and many of them don't celebrate Christmas or have Santa. It is not the end of the world if we choose to take Santa out of Christmas.
Besides, Christmas isn't about Santa or presents (at least for us). Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ. It is about God giving us his only child, and yes I know it's not accurate. Jesus was probably born in the summer; Christmas has pagan roots, but let's just let that go for now. Christians have decided to celebrate his birth on Christmas and so that's when we celebrate.
Then there is the whole kids compare presents issue, especially once in school. This only leads to more Santa problems as they are going to wonder why Tommy got more presents from Santa than Susie, etc. I think it's easy to say the parents should teach their kids not to brag, but once at school and there is no one there to remind them of this, they are going to compare. They are going to have the "What did you get from Santa?" conversation ready to go.
So how do we plan to celebrate Christmas? Well, I make gingerbread men every year, and I would like to continue that with my kids. We plan to have a real tree, something we don't do now since we are always going to visit others, but with a baby, we're staying put so others will have to come to us for a change!
There will be stockings and presents. I plan on coming up with some kind of present rule, like 1 book, 1 thing to wear and 1 want, then put another surprise in the stocking like a movie or smaller toy, something that won't melt since we do use our fireplace.
I would like to teach them to give as well, so have them take an old toy or two that they don't play with anymore and donate it. And of course, watching the Christmas classics as a family, those are always fun. So you see, we don't need Santa. There are many ways to celebrate Christmas.
There are many other good reasons to not do Santa, but the ones I mentioned are more important to us. Again, I want to emphasize that these are reasons we choose not to do Santa. I am not saying you shouldn't. Santa may work for your family and that's great, but I believe it is wrong for others to force us to participate because they are afraid our child would ruin the fun.
We will do our best to teach our children to respect others traditions, cultures, religions, beliefs, etc, but once in school, we won't be there to control them and if it does slip out, then I apologize in advance.

Burberry cuts British jobs again
Burberry has just announced further 'cost efficiencies'.
This actually means more British job losses, this time in Rotherham.
During the Keep Burberry British campaign to try to save the Burberry Treorchy factory two years ago, we warned that if Treorchy went, Yorkshire jobs would be next.

In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090).

by Tony Moore
For three days in March 2013, 36 sustainability and security scholars and practitioners from the U.S. and India gathered on campus for a workshop titled The United States-India Relationship in the 21st Century: Challenges for Strategic Leaders; Opportunities for Cross-Sector Collaboration to Promote Sustainable Development.
Hosted by Dickinson and the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute (SSI), the event brought together thought leaders from the world's two largest democracies. On the agenda was examining how individuals, organizations and nation-states can work together to address strategic and sustainability-related challenges in a global environment of increasingly baroque international relationships and economic, environmental and political uncertainty.
Clearly, the goals were lofty, the issues at hand complex.
"Mapping out who the stakeholders are across borders becomes extremely challenging," says David Sarcone, associate professor of international business & management and one of the event's organizers. "And then on top of that to have the focus on problems that are so difficult to get your arms around—it was challenging and really provoked some thinking."
What should make it easier for interested parties to get their arms around the issues is the book spawned by the workshop, The U.S.-India Relationship: Cross-Sector Collaboration To Promote Sustainable Development.
A collection of reflections on the workshop, transcribed sessions from the workshop and papers and presentations written and created specifically for the workshop, the book is a 500-page road map through the diplomatic and practical thicket of international cross-sector collaboration.
Michael Fratantuono, associate professor of international studies, business and management, another event organizer, will be referencing the book in the senior seminar in international studies, which addresses such big-picture issues as changing perceptions about security in the face of environmental pressures and a new crop of asymmetric threats.
"We now have the possibility of failed states serving as breeding grounds for terrorism and therefore new types of threats," says Fratantuono, who co-edited the book with Sarcone and John Colwell Jr., former deputy director of academic engagement at the SSI. "Well, how are we going to address them? That gets us right into the collaborative effort of the military, USAID (United States Agency for International Development) and so forth. The awareness is that, with this workshop, we stumbled into an arena where this is all relevant, and so we'll continue to poke at it."
The book is available at the SSI Web site, where you can download a PDF version for free or order the paperback.

Agile came from small, colocated projects in the 1990s. It has spread to large, globally distributed commercial projects, affecting the IEEE, the PMI, the SEI and the Department of Defense. Agile now sits in a larger landscape and should be viewed accordingly. This talk shows that landscape, clarifying how classical agile fits in and what constitutes effective development outside that narrow area.
Dr. Alistair Cockburn is a world-renowned expert at what is called agile development, the early and regular delivery of business value through improved communications, fast feedback and staged delivery. Dr. Cockburn co-founded the agile development movement, co-authoring the Manifesto for Agile Software Development and the project leadership Declaration of Inter-dependence.
Agile 2009 is an exciting international industry conference that presents the latest techniques, technologies, attitudes and first-hand experience, from both a management and development perspective, for successful Agile software development.

I posted "Agile Safari" a while back where i had these three points:
1. Always deliver functionality
2. Develop in short manageable cycles
3. Make use of the customer
and no more. which is Agile from the perspective of a giraffe (software developer and hands on development manager).
I would love to know what you think

Weekly update from the Vault of the OrbJanuary 27, 2012|
One more week of work behind us, yay! That means that we're one week closer to a finished game and to celebrate it, here's a new desktop background image for you all! It's a wider crop of a picture we teased you with a while ago.
This week's update will be a refreshing mixture of a bulleted list straight from our version control's changelogs and some of my freeform rambling! But I'll keep the bullet point list rather brief this time by including only a single quote from the file commit comments:
"- Added bugs (LOL)"
Oh Juho, you're so funny! 😀
Anyways, besides adding bugs, we've been eliminating them aplenty this week. A lot of nasty ones too. For example there was a brief moment when all of our monsters were immortal but since it made the game a little too difficult, we had to fix it. Oh, and regarding difficulty, the game now has a setting for combat difficulty! If you feel like you want to concentrate more on the puzzles and adventuring and just glide through the combat, just switch it to easy! Also, keyboard bindings should work now pretty universally across any sort of keyboard, language or key and if you accidentally hit caps lock during an intense combat it won't be a problem. The fabled "oldschool mode" that disables the automap was implemented and we've also added a little more spice to the spells and the key art of the game is looking mighty fine too!
Of course we've had steady progress on the animation polish work too and the levels have also been on the receiving end of some additional lovin'. Iteration, iteration, iteration! That's what video game development is about! 🙂
In addition to the "routine" work, we've been kept busy today by a lot of mails and interviews, thanks to positive coverage on Reddit. We unfortunately don't have time to reply to you all individually but your feedback really means a lot to us and we're really humbled from all of the positive comments people have left on Reddit, this blog, our e-mail and elsewhere. Thank you! 🙂
Oh, and now we finally have an e-mail newsletter you can subscribe to. You can find it here, on the sidebar to the right. So if you want a reminder when the game can be bought, subscribe!
210 responses to "Weekly update from the Vault of the Orb"
I think, you to have been not right. I can prove it.
Write to me in PM, we will discuss.
Yes this seems to be real great plugin. I would love getting this
installed over my blog because well because such plugins have been of real help

About Us
Speakers for Schools is a UK charity launched in 2011 helping state schools, colleges and academies inspire their students and broaden horizons through access to the insights, experiences and expertise of today's leading figures through free talks and more — free of charge.
We believe all young people regardless of background should have the opportunity to be encouraged and inspired by engaging with the leading figures of today. The network currently consists of 1000 leading, eminent figures in their field who donate their time as speakers go into state schools to share their insights, experiences and more about their area of expertise through high-profile assembly talks with students. The charity works with schools, academies and colleges across the whole of the UK and has had over 1,950 schools and colleges apply to host speakers and be in the network.
Our speakers are experts and leaders in their fields; some of the country's highest achieving individuals across government, business, sport, technology, science and the arts. These talks allow them to give their time to share their insights and unique experiences with young people as someone at the top of their field, aiming to help broaden students' horizons, make them feel confident about the possibilities for their future and motivate them to reach their maximum potential. The talks help complement efforts of educators to raise attainment, aspirations and get students thinking about the wider world.
Our Mission
Our primary mission is to help all UK state secondary schools and their pupils access free talks from eminent professionals and academics, to broaden horizons and encourage them in their ambitions. We want to help teachers to inspire and motivate the next generation by providing them with access to influential figures with unique views and experiences from the top of their profession. Independent schools have networks of distinguished individuals who routinely give talks to their students that instil a culture of aspiration and offer insights beyond the formal curriculum.
Our aim is to level the playing field for all young people at state schools, offering the same opportunity to engage with and be encouraged by those who are shaping the UK and the world around them.
As a charity we believe in:
- Giving students access to insights, information and perspectives from top, influential figures to help them in preparing for their own future
- Maximising awareness of the wealth of opportunities available to students and help break down misconceptions and/or bridge information gaps
- Improving the links between these leading organisations, industries and their networks and those of state schools and colleges across the UK
- Keeping all resources and opportunities entirely free to state schools, colleges and their students
To hear what students, teachers and speakers get out of taking part see Our Impact.
Speakers for Schools was founded by Robert Peston and has facilitated over 3,800 free school talks to date, reaching over 450,000 young people across the UK. Chaired by Andrew Law with a board of trustees, it is wholly funded by the Law Family Charitable Foundation.

Wyatt Fuller is the son of jewelry designer Quinn Fuller and Bill Spencer, Jr., with whom Quinn had a long-ago affair; Wyatt grew up believing his father was dead. Wyatt met Hope Logan when she photographed him taking a solar shower at his campground in Big Bear, California; Wyatt impulsively kissed Hope, who had run away and knocked herself unconscious. Though Hope lamented the absence of her on-again-off-again paramour, Liam Spencer, who was working through being deserted by his wife, Steffy Forrester, Wyatt introduced Hope to Quinn, unprepared for the shock when Hope figured out that Bill was Wyatt's father by matching up the identical sword necklaces they wore. Wyatt felt betrayed by Quinn and was furious with Bill for having given his mother money for an abortion.
Wyatt briefly entertained taking both Hope and Spencer Publications from Liam, but soon he focused solely on Hope; Wyatt kissed Hope, earning Liam's fist in his face. Wyatt thrilled when Hope decided to incorporate Quinn's accessories into Hope's Hope for the Future (HFTF) fashion line at Forrester Creations, and gladly followed Quinn's order to take Hope to Mexico to secure a rare diamond. Surprised when Quinn sent Hope a video tribute Liam made for Steffy, Wyatt used the resulting rift to propose to Hope himself, then pocketed the diamond and placed it on actual jewel thieves he pretended to retrieve it from.
Wyatt dated Hope after she dumped Liam for having a secret meeting with Steffy on their wedding day. Wyatt made love to Hope for the first time on a beach camping trip, his reverie broken when Liam arrived with security footage of Wyatt "stealing" the diamond. Wyatt was dismayed when Hope left him standing on the beach, but later, after Hope took him back, Wyatt's theft was buried by Forrester Creations to prevent a media scandal.
Wyatt wanted to honor late Forrester matriarch Stephanie Forrester by tying her personal jewelry into HFTF, but Stephanie's granddaughter, Aly Forrester, who had a history of mental illness stemming from the violent childhood death of her mother, loudly objected. Wyatt dismissed Aly's contention he was corrupting the message of purity Hope had layered into HFTF and was slapped by Aly for bragging he'd slept with Hope; Wyatt worried when Aly caught him in bed with Hope and threw a tantrum.
Wyatt was disappointed when Hope's pregnancy scare was only that, but more so when Hope agreed to date both Spencer brothers. Wyatt lost Hope when he punched Liam for going off on Quinn, whose attempts to come between Bill and Brooke Logan, Hope's mother, ended with Brooke's ex-husband, Ridge Forrester, falling from a helicopter in Abu Dhabi and sustaining brain damage. Hearing that Quinn had been tormenting Liam to keep him away from Hope, Wyatt barely stopped Quinn from impaling Liam with a sword. Wyatt and Liam bonded over the ordeal, and later Wyatt received a text from Quinn in which she said she had checked into a psychiatric hospital.
Wyatt inherited the HFTF diamond from its owner, Ricardo Montemayor, and publicly presented it to Hope. But when a detective told Wyatt that Ricardo had been murdered, Wyatt briefly wondered if Quinn had been responsible. Wyatt flew to Paris with Hope, who had told Liam to meet her at the Eiffel Tower to get married. When Liam didn't show, Wyatt convinced Hope to marry him in Monte Carlo instead. Wyatt was sure Hope would leave him when they found out Liam was late was because Quinn had pushed fellow jewelry designer Ivy Forrester into the River Seine; instead, Wyatt got news that Hope was carrying his baby.
Wyatt grudgingly considered getting a restraining order against Quinn, who kept insinuating herself into the pregnant Hope's life; when Hope fell down a flight of stairs and lost their baby after arguing with Quinn, Wyatt sadly watched as Hope went on an extended trip to Milan, Italy. Wyatt followed to plead his case, but came back with a divorce. Wyatt frowned on Quinn's relationship with Hope's father, Deacon Sharpe, knowing Deacon still had a thing for Brooke, and went straight to Quinn after hearing Deacon tell Brooke he'd reunite with her if he and Quinn weren't engaged. After Quinn and Deacon worked things out, Wyatt was the only guest at their wedding except for Hope, who chimed in via video call in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the ceremony.
Wyatt teamed up with Liam to force tyrannical Rick Forrester out of Forrester's CEO chair. Sensing a secret surrounding Rick's mistress, Maya Avant, Wyatt romanced Maya's inexperienced little sister, Nicole Avant, for information. Wyatt genuinely liked Nicole, but worked on her until she admitted Maya was transgender. As Wyatt and Liam deliberated over what to do with the revelation, publishing magnate Bill splashed it across his media platforms; Wyatt understood when Nicole declared she'd never trust him again.
Wyatt took an interest in Steffy and kissed her despite her desire to reunite with Liam; eventually Wyatt began dating Ivy. After the increasingly unstable Aly regressed and died confronting Steffy, Wyatt incredulously viewed a video Ivy shot that seemed to show Steffy killing Aly with a tire iron. Feeling marginalized by their families, Wyatt supported Ivy using her video to blackmail a modeling gig out of Steffy; later, Wyatt thought better of it and helped persuade Ivy to delete the incriminating footage. After Steffy fired Ivy and forced her to model lingerie, Wyatt went to Bill with a request to bankroll a new fashion house and was angry when Bill declined.
Wyatt resented Steffy's brother, Thomas Forrester, flirting with Ivy and refused to believe Steffy's claim that Ivy had kissed Thomas. Wyatt walked out when Ivy confirmed it but rushed to her side when she was electrocuted following a scuffle with Steffy. Wyatt talked Ivy out of having Steffy arrested for violating her restraining order, then bought a ring for Ivy. But Wyatt's proposal was interrupted by Quinn, who overheard Ivy telling Liam she wanted him back. Wyatt sent Ivy packing and cuddled Steffy in bed while Liam escorted Ivy back to Australia.
After Liam sent Steffy text messages ending their relationship, Wyatt wanted Steffy to move on with him and kissed her again, soon asking her to marry him. Wyatt couldn't believe his good fortune as he exchanged vows with Steffy on the beach and began training under a much more accepting Bill, but Wyatt was torn when he saw Forrester security footage that showed Quinn driving off with Liam after he fainted and hit his head in the parking lot. Wyatt went to see Quinn at her cabin and found her kissing an amnesiac Liam, who had been told Quinn was his wife; when Liam had total recall, Wyatt helped his brother lock Quinn in a closet and brought him to a worried Steffy. Wyatt felt for Liam when he had to be told Wyatt and Steffy were married, but Wyatt was back to sparring with Liam when Liam declared he wanted Steffy back.
Wyatt was shocked to learn that Liam's home intruder was Reverend Rydell, who officiated at Wyatt's wedding. Wyatt breathed a sigh of relief when his marriage turned out to be valid and turned his attention toward making Steffy the face of Spencer Publications' social media. To that end, Wyatt paraded Steffy around the Spencer Summit in Monte Carlo, promising Steffy he'd keep Quinn away from her, but Wyatt soon learned that Quinn had gotten involved with Steffy's grandfather, Eric Forrester. Wyatt told Quinn not to accept Eric's invitations to return to Forrester and move into the mansion, but Wyatt couldn't keep Steffy from bunking with Thomas when his efforts were for naught.
Unable to convince Steffy to return home, Wyatt stood by her in a boycott of Quinn and Eric's wedding. Wyatt ultimately felt bad for hurting his mother and saw how much she loved Eric when Eric collapsed from a brain hemorrhage. Wyatt joined Quinn in battling the Forresters when Eric made Quinn interim CEO of Forrester and gifted Wyatt with a leadership position for his support. Wyatt lost Steffy when he told Quinn that she and Ridge were keeping it a secret that Eric had appointed Quinn his power of attorney; Wyatt sadly agreed with Steffy's request for a divorce and watched her go back to Liam.
At Thanksgiving, Wyatt was surprised to hear Ivy apologizing for the poor treatment of him that led to their breakup; Wyatt told Ivy it was all in the past. Wyatt realized that Quinn's idea to make Steffy CEO of Forrester was also a ploy to push them together, but Wyatt couldn't deny he wanted to save his marriage. When Steffy accepted the position and Wyatt was promoted to head of PR, Wyatt asked Steffy to stop the divorce. Wyatt held out hope even after Steffy moved back in with Thomas, but finally Wyatt agreed to fast-track their divorce so Steffy could be with Liam. Afterwards, Wyatt quit Forrester Creations and returned to Spencer Publications. While Steffy married Liam in Australia, Wyatt drank heavily and vented to Nicole and her husband, Zende Forrester Dominguez.
Wyatt threw himself into work, where he sassed Bill and developed a camaraderie with Liam. Wyatt knew that Bill had written a scathing review of designer Sally Spectra, the namesake of Spectra Fashions' original owner, because Bill wanted to bulldoze Spectra and put up a skyscraper; Wyatt felt for Sally but was dismayed when Liam discovered the truth and told Steffy, which led to Sally's boyfriend, Thomas, investing $100,000 in Spectra to save it from Bill's wrecking ball. Wyatt became very upset when someone began shooting at Quinn and Bill couldn't resist making jokes about it; Wyatt couldn't believe it once it was revealed that his former stepfather, Deacon, was the gunman.
Wyatt was glad to hear that Katie had been given his old PR job at Forrester and eagerly let her bend his ear about social media, since it had come into prominence since Katie's last tenure as a publicist. Wyatt suggested that Forrester mount a fashion show during the Spencer Summit in Monte Carlo and declined to take credit for inspiring Katie to focus on swimwear at the seaside event. Wyatt was on board when the show turned into a Forrester/Spectra fashion duel, and found himself playfully bantering with Katie, aware there were sparks flying between them. Giddy from the success of the showing, Wyatt and Katie kissed repeatedly, with Wyatt assuring a doubtful Katie there was no reason they couldn't explore things, despite their connections to Bill and Quinn. Wyatt ran straight to Katie after she tried to set him up with Charlotte, a besotted intern. Wyatt was amused when Bill nearly caught him and Katie in bed together; Wyatt hid in the bathroom until Bill left.
Wyatt and Katie decided to keep their newfound relationship a secret, but shared confusion when Bill suddenly stepped down as CEO as Spencer Publications, Liam took charge, and Brooke left Bill. Wyatt did some sleuthing with Justin and learned that Liam's first act had been to buy Spectra Fashions, which suffered extensive fire damage, and give it to Sally. When Katie came back from Brooke's closed-mouthed and upset, Wyatt figured out that Bill had arranged for Spectra to burn; Wyatt raged at Bill but also fumed when learning Liam had threatened to call the cops if Bill didn't give Liam control of the company. Wyatt refused Liam's offer to run Spencer with him, warning Liam that Bill would surely get revenge on him.
After Bill turned the tables on Liam by destroying a recording of Bill confessing to the fire, Wyatt was surprised but pleased that Bill wanted him and Liam to run Spencer Publications at Bill's side. But Wyatt soon found out he had been set up to side with Bill in a vote to demolish Spectra and put up the new Spencer tower. Though Wyatt felt for his brother when Liam and designer Sally Spectra almost died trapped in the rubble of Spectra, and later counseled Liam when Steffy left him over kissing Sally, Wyatt continued to defend Bill to Liam. Wyatt also had to defend Katie to his mother after Quinn caught them in bed and forcibly dragged Katie out of it.
It disgusted Wyatt to learn that Bill and Steffy had slept together and betrayed Liam; Wyatt nearly abandoned Bill and Spencer Publications, but hesitated when Bill appealed to him. Later, Wyatt received a shock when he ran into Hope, who had moved back home from Milan.
When Wyatt realized his feelings for Katie were deeper than their no-strings relationship merited, he let herself in to surprise her only to see her kissing Ridge's brother, Thorne Forrester, through Katie's telescope. Wyatt broke up with Katie but then thought better of it, sending her a text she never responded to. Wyatt finally confronted Katie in person; the two deduced that Thorne had deleted Wyatt's text, then professed their love for each other. Wyatt's happiness after proposing to Katie was short-lived when Bill went ballistic, vowing to disown Wyatt and take Will, Katie's son with Bill, away from Katie. Wyatt angrily swore it would be the last thing Bill ever did.

text: Hey, so here's an important election day question: For what fictional TV character would you vote for President if you had to (HAD TO) vote for one of them? (Another important question: Who would you choose to Photoshop images if you had to choose someone? Me? Please let me know if me.) They don't have to be political characters, obviously — this is just about who do you think would be the best at the job of being president. Like, for example, Gossip Girl's Tripp van der Bilt comes from a political family and even ran for office at one point, but the way framed Serena for drunk driving and then almost killed Chuck and Blair because he thought he was almost killing Nate (because he was mad about his wife having an affair?) does NOT make me think he'd be an ideal candidate. Personally, I would choose Adam and Kristina Braverman of Parenthood as co-Presidents based on how thoughtfully each of them handle their personal and professional lives. (Some might think, "Really? Not Julia and Joel?" But do you honestly think they could handle the pressure? Hardly.) They would run as co-Presidents, though, because I DO think they need each other. Please cast your vote in the comments and tonight I will run them through the Scantron machine and send the results directly to Washington D.C., cc: @barackobama @mittromney. #pleasevote #importantmoment

EU, Nigeria to facilitate trade, investment
Nigerian Government Monday, deliberated with the European Union (EU) delegation on ways to facilitate trade and investment in Nigeria.The agreement was reached at the meeting between the Ambassador and Head of EU delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Michell Arion, and the Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama.
Also at the meeting, which held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were other ministry officials as well as 20 representatives of EU member states.The Minister noted that the meeting was subsequent upon the communiqué signed last year between Nigeria and EU, which focused on security, corruption, prosperity, migration and human development.
Commending the contributions of EU in Nigeria, the Minister stressed that the country's expectations from the dialogue would further advance the interest as well as deepen business and trade relations between Nigeria and EU.
"The important thing is value addition in processing and packaging."We are in the process of diversification away from oil, and we are looking towards an important trade partner and we naturally looked to the EU to explore trade opportunity with our country.
"I would like to appeal to EU and other partners to consider increasing investment and also in other areas beyond the oil sector such as agriculture and mining", he said.
In his response, the envoy stated that EU and Nigeria could work together for mutual benefits of both parties, and enhance peace, security and economic cooperation.He said: "We believe that our prosperity is your prosperity. We see West Africa as a block of ECOWAS and Nigeria as the economic base."
"We see West Africa not as export designation for the EU but investment destination for EU. We don't have hidden agenda."Adding: "What we can do to facilitate EU investment in Nigeria is paramount, not only at the level of bilateral relations but in other areas.According to him, the planned collaboration was not based on what the EU can do for Nigeria but what the EU and Nigeria could do together.

What you can do. 1) SCSI drives. Are you using them? 2) Forum DB. Is it on a second drive? 3) Ram, do you have at least 4gb? 3) OS - Not Redhat i hope, try FreeBSD it can handle thousands of users when your talking about # of users. 4) Are you running eaccelerator, APC or any type of php cache? If not you should be. 5) Is Apache Optimized? 6) Is BH the only site on this box? Hopefully! Hopefully its not a cheapo VPS setup! 7) Your not using cPanel are you? Nasty overloaded control panel. Preferable you should not be running a CP at all. Try lighthttpd or something that much lighter. 8) Is your OS 64-bit, including MySQL? 9) Thought about running the forum on one box while running the DB access on another? You really should. 10) All system related binaries up-to-date? How about sockets and optimization of systctl.conf? etc. You should invest in optimization services for a busy forum like this.

COLLEGE PARK — Maryland saluted Greivis Vasquez before the game, then needed to play with the former Terps guard's heart and resilience in an 87-80 victory over North Carolina State on Sunday after dropping three of its previous four Atlantic Coast Conference games.
The Terps — led by Jordan Williams' 26 points and Terrell Stoglin's 25 — overcame the weight of recent history. Maryland (17-10, 6-6 ACC) had been 2-8 in games decided by single digits, including tight losses in their past two contests. With four regular-season games left, the Terps are desperately trying to build a case for the NCAA tournament selection committee.
"You have to have short memories," Maryland coach Gary Williams said. "To get that one today to get us to .500 in the league is important heading to that Florida State game [Wednesday night]."

Physiotherapists are specialists in their fields of practice, just like the way a surgeon is. From sprains to strains and fractures to bruises, they can help restore your body back to its normal performance. If you have a less injury case, physiotherapy can help you recover without the need of surgical intervention. Even for serious injuries, they can help you recover quickly after surgery. Physiotherapy Singapore has undergone a lot of transformation. In this post, you will learn some physiotherapy techniques and methods.
Physiotherapy techniques
You should note that these experts have a passion for helping others. This explains why they do some things manually like hands-on approaches. The common examples include massaging, stretching, and compressing. In fact, manual therapy is the foundation of any particular treatment plan that is prescribed by physiotherapists. They know that it can help patients to recover better and quickly.
Physiotherapy with drugs
In some instances, physiotherapy should be carried out with the use of medical drugs. For instance, injuries like muscle strains, it does appear to be beneficial when a patient is prescribed ointment and muscle relaxant drugs with interferential therapy that uses electrical signals. In this way, it produces soft massaging effects, which stimulate the body to produce endorphins for the natural pain relief.
Physiotherapists utilize ultrasound to penetrate beyond the subcutaneous tissue layer. It loosens the layer in preparation for physical therapy. It gives a mild touch of heat to warm and expand the surrounding tissues. In this way, it increases blood flow and even speeds up healing rate.
Physiotherapy with surgery
Some injuries are quite serious and need surgery in combination with physiotherapy to achieve the best results. Physiotherapy ought to start earlier before surgery. This will help the patient to strengthen his or her muscle groups and beef up his body. Post-surgery physiotherapy includes regaining back full range of motion. This prevents scarring tissues formation and regaining full fitness and condition after surgery.
Electrical stimulations
Physiotherapists apply electrical stimulations in recommended dosages and in a controlled way to stimulate a patient's muscles to contract. This is quite important for patients that have suffered traumatic injuries that make them lose muscular functions. When they use electrical stimulations; proper functions and movement can be restored quickly.
Good ol' physiotherapy
This is done in minor cases where physiotherapy can be used on its own to help a patient recover. Some of these cases include ankle sprains. In this case, massage can help increase blood flow and improve the rate of recovery.

Home of the Month: Serenity with a Surprise
The gulf waters shimmer from outside—and in the ceiling above—while residents enjoy their view from the Windsor At Bay Colony.
The living room's dropped ceiling reflects the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Mexico. "It's like an upside down puddle," explains designer Gabriela Helesicova. Moxie Studios finished the dropped area with Venetian plaster that was coated in Benjamin Moore's antique white. Existing sofas were re-covered in fabric by Classic Cloth and pillows were created by Judith Liegeois Designs in vintage velvet. Chairs were custom-ordered for the space.
The iridescent hues found in tiny shells and other inspirations from the Gulf of Mexico were delivered to Judith Liegeois Designs by new Naples homeowners. Their efforts resulted in a wonderfully muted and serene color scheme employed for the redesign of a spacious condominium in The Windsor at Bay Colony.
The new homeowners, from Charlotte, N.C., spent three weeks in residence to determine the required changes, and by then they were ready to launch a spectacular update.
"The color scheme draws the eye to the Gulf view," explains designer Gabriela Helesicova, who worked on the project. One captivating change involved replicating the shape of an inlaid carpet in the living room to create an architecturally pleasing Venetian-plastered, dropped ceiling, which was then polished to reflect the Gulf of Mexico waters.
"They were looking for an elegant and contemporary feel of a beach house without the maintenance issues of a house," Helesicova explains. "This is their little beach retreat."
Art Appreciation
A Sophia Murano chandelier created by Jan Showers centers the dining room space, over the Sutcliffe walnut table. Paintings are by Peter Strelnik. "Every wall has a special piece of artwork on it," Helesicova says.
A Dramatic Entrance
Stroheim's grass cloth wall coverings were selected for the home's entry and sconces are vintage Barovier & Tosso. The chandelier is by Jean de Merry in a bronze finish. Ran Adler's From the Rivers Edge artwork involves pieces of an equisetum plant encased in Lucite.
Timeless Traditions
The kitchen, designed by architect Rob Herscoe and fabricated by Bailiwick's Kitchen Design, features a modern appeal. "The tones are neutral and timeless," the designer says. "It's a beach-like feel without an island look." Stools are by Dessin Fournir in mahogany and a macassar ebony veneer and then upholstered in J. Hutton fabric. Flower vessels were created for Judith Liegeois Designs.
Elegant Comfort
Avid collectors of art and sculpture, the homeowners selected treasured items for display in the family room. A walnut armchair from the art deco period is refurbished in Elmo leather from Sweden, and a matching ottoman was created by Judith Liegeois Designs. Builtin bookcases feature a collection of corals, also from the designer's showroom. A Ran Adler sculpture featuring monkey ladder wood from Barbados is displayed on a Lucite platform. "The homeowners have impeccable taste," Helesicova says.
