Hello there.
I've tried xubuntu and am now using gentoo with xfce. Unfortunately, in this installation's shutdown dialogue, the sleep and hibernate buttons are missing. Do you guys know how I could perhaps set a use flag or something so that these are compiled in?
Thank you
I've double-checked that ACPI is enabled in the kernel, and laptop-mode-tools is working, so... I'm reasonably sure that it's an xfce issue and not a lower-level issue.
I might be wrong here, but from the bit I've read on the topic, the version of Xfce Xubuntu/Ubuntu uses is a custom one made by the ubuntu devs. it seems they modified/recompiled things to roll their own, so to speak.

Yes, xubuntu has applied a patch to xfce4-session to enable suspend/hibernate. Bug about it here: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2672

Things I know
-spirulina tablet + coughing child = phlegm a colour that makes you REALLY freak out for a moment before you remember said tablet
-just because you have cooked something nutritious and delicious doesn't mean it will get eaten by anyone other than yourself
-going back to body balance (a mix of yoga, tai chi and pilates)will remind you there are muscles you forgot existed.
-5 year olds find any sort of joke about farting or poo hilarious, actually so do almost 3 year olds, actually so does my husband.
-sniffing and cuddling an hours old baby will make you go cluck cluck cluck.
-being woken only once or twice a night by your 15 month old will make you forget all the clucking and thank your husband for having the snip.
-all the Twilight talk and grown women swooning over young men will have you rolling your eyes, and then you will realize you hypocrisy when you see the new Harry Potter trailer. Complete with an adult Rupert Grint....

Nichelle Nichols to be Special Guest at SF Convention on NMT Campus, July 28, 2008
by Kathleen Hedges
SOCORRO, N.M., -- Nichelle Nichols, who played Lt. Uhura on the original Star Trek series, is the guest of honor at New Mexico Tech's first-ever science fiction convention, to be held on Sept. 12 to 14, on the university's campus in Socorro. The convention "Digging Into Other Worlds," is being organized by Miners' Ink, New Mexico Tech's literary magazine.
Right: Nichelle Nichols today. See profile at
In addition, an array of New Mexico science fiction writers and several New Mexico Tech professors will participate. The authors include Walter Jon Williams of Belen, Jane Lindskold of Albuquerque, S. M. Stirling of Santa Fe, and New Mexico Tech alumnus David Lee Summers of Las Cruces.
The participating professors are Penelope Boston (microbiology, astrobiology), Mary Dezember (creative writing), Michelle Creech-Eakman (astrophysics and astrobiology), and Scott Zeman (pop culture).
New Mexico Tech is a state-supported research university specializing in science and engineering. Despite strong interest on campus in reading science fiction, this is the first time anyone has organized a large-scale science fiction event on campus.
According to Karen Balch, editor of Miners' Ink and organizer of the event, "It seemed a natural. We want to rally the campus together as a whole and provide a science fiction venue, as well as get more exposure for the magazine on campus. We plan to have an issue featuring science fiction by students published just before the conference."
Left: Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura on the original Star Trek.
Planned events include science fiction movies, gaming on the local-area network (LAN); talks, panel discussions, and readings by the authors; booksignings; a Saturday-evening dinner with keynote address by Nichols; and a campus costume contest.
A dealers' room will be available for people who want to sell science-fiction-related products. Dealers may register online at www.nmt.edu/~ink.
In addition, Balch has organized tours of two nearby astronomical facilities: the Magdalena Ridge Observatory (MRO), and the Very Large Array radio telescope (VLA, which has been featured in several movies, most notably "Contact").
Local businesses have gotten involved in the event. Socorro's Capitol Bar will hold a Star Trek Theme Night. Howard Johnson and Super 8 motels in Socorro have offered discounted rates for attendees.
Local sponsors include: Dr. Daniel H. López, president of New Mexico Tech; Dr. Peter Gerity and Dr. Scott Zeman of the Office of Academic Affairs; Student Association; Graduate Student Association; Tony Perreault, a New Mexico Tech alumnus who works at NRAO; Joanna DeBrine of the Capitol Bar; and Socorro Springs Restaurant and Brewery.
The deadline to register online at www.nmt.edu/~ink is August 29. After Aug. 29, the late-registration fee is $85 for everyone. Before Aug. 29, fees, which include all activities and the Saturday evening dinner, are:
- $75 for the general public
- $30 for New Mexico Tech faculty and staff
- Events free to all full-time New Mexico Tech students, (registration required; dinner extra)
- $50 for New Mexico Tech alumni
- $10 for high school students (must show ID at registration table; $20 for the Saturday dinner)
- $10 for Nichelle Nichols' keynote speech on Saturday evening, without dinner
Thanks to support from the Student Association and Graduate Student Association, graduate students' dinners are $10 and undergrad students' dinners are $20.
Balch adds, "We are looking for dealers who want to sell science-fiction and fantasy related items, such as art, books, photography, etc. There is a contract online."

From Andy Hall comes word that the Mariners' Museum has been forced to temporarily close the USS Monitor conservation lab. The Monitor wreck and the artifacts are government-owned, but the Mariners' Museum has undertaken the task of conserving these items for the American people. The museum depends on assistance from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for this project, and NOAA is waiting on congressional budget approval to see how much funding they can provide.

Twins open All-Star Week with field dedication
HIBBING, Minn. -- Kevin Thoresen could not hold back the tears.
After nine years of leading Minnesota's branch of the Miracle League -- a national organization that builds baseball fields for children with special needs -- he stood on the pitcher's mound at the newest ballpark in Hibbing on Wednesday night during the first official All-Star Week event.
HIBBING, Minn. -- Kevin Thoresen could not hold back the tears.
After nine years of leading Minnesota's branch of the Miracle League -- a national organization that builds baseball fields for children with special needs -- he stood on the pitcher's mound at the newest ballpark in Hibbing on Wednesday night during the first official All-Star Week event.
"I wanted them to have the same kind of joy that anybody should," Thoresen said through bleary eyes. "These kids deserve the chance to play baseball. Every child, not only just here in Minnesota, but across the country, deserves the opportunity to play baseball, and that's why the Miracle League exists."
Kevin Thoresen All-Star Miracle League Field is the most recent of 12 that Thoresen has helped build since founding the Minnesota chapter in 2005, but the first one with his name on it.
The father of two sons with special needs (Tyler, 23, and Jacob, 21), Thoresen dove headfirst into several metro area projects after seeing a report on the Miracle League on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.
"I had as much joy playing Little League baseball as a kid than I've had doing anything else, and I wanted every kid to have that opportunity," Thoresen said.
But the only such ballfield in northern Minnesota almost didn't come to be; funding issues threatened to kill it at multiple junctures, but this July's All-Star Game provided both the Miracle League and the Twins with a solution.
Twins president Dave St. Peter explained his organization's need for shovel-ready, capital projects as part of the legacy giving programs that come along with the All-Star Game. In all, the Twins and MLB contributed a record $8 million to local and national causes.
"Projects of this nature are pretty easy to dream up," St. Peter said. "They're more difficult to actually implement. This community sensed the need. We simply found a way to partner with them to make them happen."
A star-studded cast was in attendance on Wednesday, along with a large crowd of approximately 300.
Joining Thoresen and St. Peter were Twins CEO Jim Pohlad, Twins legend Kent Hrbek, and MLB executive vice president of business Tim Brosnan, among others.
"I've been coming to All-Star Games now for 23 years, and we've been doing the legacy project since about 2005 officially," Brosnan said. "I think this is the biggest turnout we've ever had for a local legacy project."
Wednesday was the first official event on the All-Star Week docket, and the only one outside of the metro area.
But the birthplace of Bob Dylan, Kevin McHale and Roger Maris seemed like as good a place as any to kick off the festivities, especially considering Thoresen grew up there.
The charismatic native didn't miss an opportunity to spread his passion.
"There's such a lack of programs for kids with special needs of any kind to play any kind of sports," Thoresen said. "It's not just baseball. It's any sport you could imagine. They're not on teams.
"If we're going to continue to look at these people as assets, or if they're going to work for a company and they've never been a part of a team, they're never going to learn teamwork."
The field itself is a carbon copy of the other 11 in the state: a flat, artificial-turf surface that extends 110 feet from home plate to the fence corners, and 45 feet from base to base. After the ceremony, Thoresen pitched to several players in a one-inning game to dedicate the venue.
Per Minnesota Miracle League tradition, everyone gathered at home plate to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" when it was over.
Microphone in hand, Kevin Thoresen led the way.

O's Machado hits for the cycle at Bowie
Baltimore's shortstop of future more than makes up for errors
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | August 4, 2012 6:44 PM
So when baseball's top non-pitching prospect strode to the plate with three hits to his name-in-lights on the scoreboard at Bowie's Prince George's Stadium, he wasn't expecting any easy pitches. Trenton reliever Mark Montgomery was thinking the same thing.
"He threw me a fastball, middle. I stayed back and took it," Machado said. "I knew I had a good day and knew I wasn't going to get another good pitch to hit. I was just looking for an off-speed pitch, and he gave me one. I wasn't trying to hit a home run, I was just trying to make contact."
Machado sent that 0-1 slider over the left-center-field fence to complete the BaySox's first cycle in four years and provide the winning margin in an 8-7 victory over the visiting Thunder.
"To put the team ahead, that was a great feeling that I felt," he said. "Never in my life have I cycled. I'm lucky to have done it."
Batting fifth and playing his usual shortsop, Machado tripled toward right in the second.
"Whenever I am going well, I have the tendency to hit the ball to right," he said.
He pulled an RBI double in a four-run third and led off the sixth with a single to center. Did he realize what was transpiring?
"I did know, but it wasn't crossing my mind to hit a home run," he said of his fourth and final at-bat against Montgomery (1-1).
The blast also was significant because it took Machado off the hook. The 20-year-old Miami prep product made two errors on one play -- one fielding and one throwing on Luke Murton's grounder -- that preceded four unearned runs fot the Thunder in the sixth.
"We had a bad inning," he said. "I made a play that I shouldn't have. I made a throw that I shouldn't have made."
Machado made up for those miscues, his 21st and 22nd in 105 games, with the first four-hit game of his three-year career. The third overall pick in the 2010 Draft became the first Bowie player since Lou Montanez to single, double, triple and homer in a single game. Montanez, now playing to Triple-A Memphis in the Cardinals organization, collected five knocks and eight RBIs at Altoona on Aug. 1, 2008.
The longball was Machado's 10th, one off his 2011 career-high, and the night prolonged his strong week at the plate. He has 11 hits in 20 at-bats over his last five games, raising his average to .262, the highest it's been in three weeks. Has he adjusted his swing?
"No, not really. I've been doing the same all year," he said. "Just trying to react, not trying to do too much."
Thunder starter Craig Heyer, who yielded Machado's triple and double, was charged with five runs on six hits and did not come out for the fifth.
Bowie's Richard Zagone gave up six runs -- two earned -- on six hits over 5 2/3 frames. He pitched better than his line, striking out nine.
Trenton had an eight-game winning streak snapped but got a boost from Yankees' No. 15 prospect Zoilo Almonte, who slugged his 16th homer, a fourth-inning solo shot.

Tutto Il Giorno is right on Bay Street in Sag Harbor. On the other side of Bay Street is a whole lotta water. Tutto, miraculously, was not flooded during the recent storms. I felt that I should drink a toast to that happy news. It seemed wrong to turn to a Dark and Stormy for the occasion, so I went with a Mint Lemonato of limoncello, vodka and fresh mint. It's similar to a Mojito and—topped with fresh lemon and soda—it's very good and refreshing. Hats off to bartender Fabrice who doubles as house DJ. My husband countered with his standard Gin Martini straight up. He found it well prepared and the three olives that garnished it "much richer than most, meatier." A promising sign.
Tutto Sag Harbor's menu is quite different from its sister restaurant Tutto Il Giorno in Southampton. But they both include among their offerings a range of vegetarian options.
The interior of Tutto Sag Harbor is more dressed up than I expected somehow. Small wonder it's known as a celebrity hangout. Of course the wide-ranging wine list is also an attraction as is the FOOD prepared by Chef Jon Albrecht. I'm told it's quite the late-night scene. It's pleasant to think about people dancing on tabletops here while I'm cozily abed, about to drop off just a few blocks away…
Tutto's General Manager Rachel stopped by our table to chat. She clearly has a passion for the restaurant business. She's really into food and wine. But she's also a number cruncher, pointing out that Tutto's $33 prix fixe can be a wise choice even if you don't care to eat dessert—it can save you money. Plus the prix fixe includes 10% off bottles of wine. And, according to Rachel, Tutto's tiramisu makes a fabulous breakfast.
We nibbled on Tutto's yummy rosemary flatbread; awash in their organic olive oil as we studied our menus…The two Tuttos have just introduced their hearty winter menus. This was perfect for Husband who announced, "I want slow-cooked something."
He began with the Tartara, a spicy tuna tartare with marinated cukes, avocado and local micro greens from Good Water Farms in East Hampton. He said, "Unlike a lot of tuna tartar it's not overly salty. This is nice. Mmm."
At Rachel's suggestion he followed with the Ravioli of Granny Smith apples and Buffalo ricotta and braised lamb ragu." He was chuckling as he commented, "That's really good." Rachel also suggested a "Super Tuscan blend" to accompany which met with Husband's approval.
I began my meal with the Wild Mushroom Polenta. Creamy, cheesy, warm and savory with a touch of black truffle, I could eat a whole bowl of this goo, oops I did.
Then I had the Tagliolini with bay scallops, shrimp and black garlic. There was a nice amount of heat to it and a generous amount of fresh basil.
Husband had Calvados for dessert. I indulged in a Mixed Berry Tart. I was glad that I did. It was all about the fresh berries—raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. Then we got up and rolled
happily home.

In 1956, Marshall won the Mid-American Conference but lost to Morehead (KY) in the first round of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournament. Marshall finished second in the conference in 1957 and 1958 despite leading the nation in offense in the 1957-58 season. This team also included the school's first All-American, Leo Byrd, and Cebe Price, who was drafted by the Syracuse Nationals of the National Basketball Association (NBA). set Marshall's career record for field goal percentage (.545). Greer was All-Conference in 1957 and 1958 and became the school's second All-American. He also set Marshall's career record for field goal percentage (.545) en route to scoring 1,377 points and averaging 19.4 points per game. Greer was chosen by Syracuse in the second round of the 1958 NBA draft.
During his fifteen-year career with Syracuse and the Philadelphia 76ers, Greer was one of the NBA's most dominant guards, averaging 19.2 points per game. When he retired in 1973, Greer held the career record for most games played (1,122) and ranked in the top ten in points scored (21,586), field goals attempted (18,811), field goals made (8,504), minutes played (39,788), and personal fouls (3,825). He was named an all-star ten times and won the Most Valuable Player Award for the 1968 game. Greer's 1966-1967 76ers' team, led by Wilt Chamberlain, ended the Boston Celtics' streak of eight consecutive championships and was named in 1980 as the greatest team in league history. Greer's number 15 jersey was retired by the 76ers and in 1981, he was elected to the Naismith Pro Basketball Hall of Fame.
Greer was honored by his native city of Huntington on two occasions. In 1966, Mayor R. O. Robertson hosted "Hal Greer Day." Twelve years later, 16th Street, which runs by Marshall's campus, was renamed Hal Greer Boulevard.

The Philippine government was due to sign Tuesday a landmark accord with an Islamic rebel group that would create an expanded Muslim homeland on the southern island of Mindanao. But in an unexpected setback, the Philippine Supreme Court on Monday blocked the signing and ordered a court hearing on Aug. 15 into claims that the proposed deal was unconstitutional.
The pact had been expected to pave the way for the two sides to ink a comprehensive peace deal to end a decades-old insurgency that has stunted economic development on resource-rich Mindanao and incubated lethal terrorist networks across Southeast Asia. The eleventh-hour judicial intervention jolted negotiators from both sides, who had traveled to the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, for Tuesday's signing ceremony.
"I don't know what will happen next," Mohaqher Iqbal, the chief peace negotiator of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), told Reuters.
Opponents had charged that the pact was "ill-advised" and potentially unconstitutional as it involved territorial concessions in Mindanao. Aides to President Gloria Arroyo deny this, saying lawmakers will be asked to legislate on any final legal settlement with the MILF.
The pact on territorial claims would have been the third signed between the two sides since 2003. Following Tuesday's planned signing, negotiators were preparing to start work on a final binding document that could be ready within a year, says Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita. "The national government is doing everything possible to come to a final agreement," he says.
Local Christians protest
The proposed Muslim homeland would have control over the exploitation of minerals and other natural resources within its jurisdiction, according to a draft copy of the accord. Its executives could conduct overseas trade missions. It would also run its own security force, which is designed to absorb the bulk of MILF fighters. They numbered around 11,000 at their peak but have dwindled since a 2001 cease-fire.
Such concessions are bitterly opposed by Christian landowners and politicians who fear land grabs and have petitioned the Supreme Court to block the pact. Thousands of Christians in Zamboanga, a city in southwest Mindanao, rallied on Monday against the deal, Reuters reported.
A wave of government-backed migration since the 1940s has seen Christian settlers acquire land in Mindanao that previously belonged to Muslims.
Tensions over land helped fuel a 1972 uprising by the Moro National Liberation Front that claimed 120,000 lives over four years. In 1977, the MILF broke away from the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) to pursue an explicit Islamic-based agenda, including sending volunteers to Afghanistan to fight Soviet occupation.
Deal may have good ripple effects
For the US government, a durable peace accord would be vindication of its diplomatic and aid initiatives on Mindanao, including a decision after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the US not to designate the MILF as a terrorist group.
In February, US Ambassador Kristie Kenney traveled to Mindanao to meet the MILF's chairman. The US and other major donors have pledged to ramp up aid to sweeten any peace deal.
By crafting a compromise on historic territorial claims, the Philippines can offer a lesson for other countries such as Nepal, Indonesia, and Thailand trying to quell separatist violence, says Steven Rood, country director of the Asia Foundation. "The MILF can provide something of an example to other similar insurgency movements, and the government in Manila can provide an example to other governments trying to keep the [peace] process moving forward," he says.
Many competing interests
Adding to the complexity of the current talks, a 1996 peace deal between the Philippine government and MNLF carved out an autonomous region in Mindanao that covers four provinces.
The MILF wants to absorb that region into a new, larger jurisdiction, subject to local referendums. Some former MNLF leaders have objected to the dilution of their power base.
The MILF claims 712 additional districts on behalf of the Bangsamoro people. Christian politicians object to the creation of these autonomous districts within their provinces.
In recent months, low-level violence has flared in MILF strongholds. MILF leaders deny sanctioning attacks on civilians but warned of rising frustrations within their ranks. That's a pressure tactic the MILF often uses, analysts say.
"The prospect of a return to full-scale war is fairly remote. Neither side can sustain it," says Scott Harrison, executive director of Pacific Strategies and Assessments, a consultancy in Manila.
The peace talks come as Mindanao gears up for elections on Aug. 11 in the existing autonomous region known as the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
Last week, Ms. Arroyo asked lawmakers to postpone the elections, but met stiff opposition in the Senate. The administration said electing ARMM officials to three-year terms would complicate the creation of a new jurisdiction. MILF leaders have played down the impact on their peace talks.
Separately, Arroyo's opponents in Congress claim that amending the Constitution to cement an MILF peace accord could be used to also extend the president's term that ends in 2010.
The Philippines only allows presidents to hold office for one six-year term. Arroyo took power in 2001 after President Joseph Estrada was forced to step down, then won an election in 2004 that was dogged by fraud complaints.

Officers hailed after tense week in Boston
BOSTON -- Over the weekend, after an exhausting and dramatic week, police officers around the city were treated as minor celebrities.
People sought to thank and shake hands with first responders, and maybe get a quick photo. On Boston Common, they saluted the city's police officers, who passed in groups wearing khaki pants and bright vests over blue shirts. They clapped at the police motorcycle motorcades that occasionally passed.
"It's good to see the city getting back to normal," said a state police bomb squad member near Copley Square on a chilly Saturday, one day after the capture of a Boston Marathon bombing suspect.
The statement was true in terms of street traffic. Thousands walked Newbury and Boylston streets and Boston Common, and thousands more attended Red Sox and Bruins games.
But along with signs of normal activity, there were reminders of the Monday bombings, which left four dead and more than 170 injured. The police were lauded for their work all week, including the capture of the second suspect after the first was killed in a gunfight with officers.
"People just started putting flowers down and throwing in their Bruins or Red Sox hats," one officer said of the impromptu memorials at either end of the cordoned-off area of Boylston Street, from Copley Square to Berkeley Street. Like all officers interviewed for this story, he asked that his name not be used.
The bomb squad member was demonstrating a remote controlled-bomb sweeper, or "$150,000 toy," as he called it, for people walking by Saturday.
Throughout the cordoned-off zone, pockets of military police were found in groups talking among themselves, and at other hotspots, notably Boston Common and the Park Street T stop, where they were joined by a group of citizens protesting drone violence in the Middle East.
"I've never been so glad to see people organizing for one of these," a military policeman said of the gathering.
In Boston Common, hundreds used a SWAT truck as a photo opportunity, and were encouraged by the Boston team member who held the keys. The truck featured a Boston Bruins' sticker.
"You should have saw the crowd of Bruins' fans climbing all over this thing and to take pictures earlier [before 12:30 p.m. game began Saturday]," the SWAT team member said.
The atmosphere around Lansdowne Street and Yawkey Way during and after Saturday's Red Sox-Royals game could be described as super-charged.
A capacity stadium could be heard thunderously singing along with Neil Diamond to "Sweet Caroline," and sporadically bursting into "U-S-A" chants.
Surrounding bars were packed after the game, a 4-3 Red Sox victory.
Following a tense week that featured bombings, a manhunt and a dramatic conclusion, area residents were working through the next step.
"I don't really get all this 'U.S.A.' stuff," said resident Garrett Miller. "But it'll die down and hopefully return to thinking about the people whose lives were impacted by the bombing."

Henry Corbin (1903-1978) was a visionary Protestant theologian and a ground-breaking scholar and translator of Islamic mysticism. His understanding of the Imagination as the fundamental creative principle in the world is urgently needed in our pluralistic and interconnected global society. Corbin taught in Paris and Tehran and lectured annually at the Eranos Conferences from 1949 to 1978. He was a friend and colleague of C.G. Jung and shared his view of the significance of the active imagination in human life as well as his profound grasp of the importance of alchemy for religious psychology.
Corbin's works have had a lasting impact on a wide variety of scholars of religion, visionary thinkers and artists. James Hillman ranked Corbin, Freud and Jung together as the foundational figures in the development of archetypal psychology. Corbin's great book Alone with the Alone: Creative Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn 'Arabi is a classic initiatory text of visionary spirituality that transcends the tragic divisions among the great monotheisms. His life was devoted to the struggle to liberate the religious imagination from fundamentalisms of every kind. His work marks a watershed in our understanding of religious diversity and makes a profound contribution to psychology, spirituality and liberal theology in the contemporary world.
Dr. Cheetham will present on Corbin's work and the links with Jungian psychology, and have a conversation with Dr. Michael Lerner on aspects of this topic.
Tom Cheetham, Ph.D, holds degrees in philosophy and biology. He is the author of four books on Henry Corbin and the implications of his work for our understanding of ourselves and the world. The most recent is All the World an Icon: Henry Corbin and the Angelic Function of Beings. He compiled the Bibliography of Archetypal Psychology for James Hillman's Archetypal Psychology: A Brief Account and is editing On Melancholy, a collection of Hillman's seminars on the meaning of depression in modern society. He has lectured extensively on Corbin's work in Europe and the US. He and his wife have two grown children and live in rural Maine.
Michael Lerner, Ph.D, is president and co-founder of Commonweal in Bolinas, California, whose internationally recogized programs, with their focus on healing and resilience, address health, environmental, educational and justice issues worldwide. The recipient of a McArthur Prize Fellowship for his contributions to public health, Lerner is president of the Jennifer Altman Foundation and the Barbara Smith Fund; co-founder and chair of Smith Center for Healing and the Arts in Washington, D.C.; past chair of the Consultative Group on Biodiversity; co-founder and chair emeritus of the Health and Environmental Funders Network; and serves on the boards of Global Greengrants in Boulder and the Wildflowers Institute in San Francisco. He is the author of Choices in Healing: Integrating the Best of Conventional and Complementary Approaches to Cancer.
Commonweal's signature programs include the Commonweal Cancer Help Program, an internationally recognized support program for cancer patients, depicted in the documentary, Wounded Healers, part of Bill Moyers' prize-winning PBS series, Healing and the Mind; the Institute for the Study of Health and Illness, offering "Healer's Art" programs in 70 medical schools; the Collaborative on Health and the Environment, engaging 4500 partners in 90 countries in environmental health science dialogue; and The New School at Commonweal, offering free live conversations and podcasts with thought leaders of our time.
Susan Thackrey, PhD, Manifesting the Image: C. G. Jung's Paintings in The Red Book
|Saturday March 9, 2013, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.

This presentation concentrates on the pictorial elements of the Red Book by C.G. Jung; all images are original and by his own hand. While these paintings are some of the most fascinating elements of this book, they are also an extraordinary meditation upon a series of spontaneous visions and dreams that Jung experienced, along with the images that arose from his experiments in active imagination upon himself, starting in 1913. They move with the written contents of the Red Book, and so can provide a way of moving into the sometimes daunting and always dense text.
We will explore their possible meanings as well as their relationship to the Spirit of Jung's own historical Times, including the artistic and innovative movements of early modernism. There will be time for audience questions and comments.
Susan Thackrey, Ph.D., is a member and teaching analyst in the C.G. Jung
Institute of San Francisco, and is a widely published poet. Her recent essay, Manifesting the Vision: C.G. Jung's Paintings for the Red Boo, will be published in Routledge's book of essays from The International Red Book Conference held by the C.G. Jung Institute in 2010. She is a founder and was the active owner of the Thackrey and Robertson Gallery in San Francisco for many years. She is the author of Empty Gate; George Oppen: A Radical Practice; and Andalusia (in press).

This is a hard-to-find classic 1985 film on dreams that was expanded and re-issued with commentary by noted analyst Marion Woodman in 2009. The film presents interviews with dreamers describing their dreams, and interviews by Dr. Fraser Boa with noted analyst Dr. Marie-Louise von Franz. The film was made by Boa, a Canadian analyst trained in Zurich who had been a student of von Franz.
The 10 hour film consists of interviews with people around the world on the topic of dreams, with in-depth interviews with von Franz on the archetypal significance and amplification of the dreams narrated in the film. Based on her long experience with her own dreams and those of her patients, von Franz's commentary offers a penetrating and enlivening view of the nature of psyche as it emerges within dreams; how one makes meanings of dreams; and how archetypal amplification assists with understanding the dream's meaning.
In this presentation we view 6 sections of the film that address women's dreams, women's individuation, and negative and positive masculine animus figures in women's dreams. Marion Woodman's commentary is included.
Laurel McCabe, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at Sonoma State University and Coordinator of the Depth Psychology M.A. program, facilitates the viewing.
Marion Woodman, LLD, DHL, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst, teacher and author of classic books on women's development, eating disorders, the conscious feminine, and integrated somatic approaches to psychological development. She is the author of The owl was a baker's daughter; The pregnant virgin; The ravaged bridegroom; Leaving my father's house; Conscious femininity; Bone: Dying into life; and coauthor of Dancing in the flames; Coming home to myself; and The maiden king.
Marie-Louise von Franz (1915-1998) is one of the noted Jungian analysts of the twentieth century, and was a close collaborator and confidante of Jung.

Daniel Bryan on Wrestlemania, His History with the WWE, and Being a Vegan Pro Wrestler
BY Tom Breihan
This year's Wrestlemania started with a bang that felt like a whimper. For the past few months, Daniel Bryan had held the World Heavyweight Championship in true asshole bad-guy fashion, beating larger guys through luck and chicanery and celebrating his own awesomeness loudly and awesomely. But in the opening match of the WWE's biggest show, hulking Irishman Sheamus defeated Bryan and took his belt in all of 16 seconds, kicking Bryan's face off after he had his back turned.
But on the following night's edition of Monday Night Raw, though, something magical happened. The crowd, mostly die-hard wrestling fans who'd stuck around Miami for another night after Wrestlemania, cheered for Bryan the entire time, despite Bryan himself never appearing in the ring. Throughout the show, they roared Bryan's signature chant ("Yes! Yes! Yes!") no matter what was happening. Those chants have continued at WWE shows, and there have been reports of them appearing at completely unrelated sporting events. Given that Bryan is, in storyline terms, a bad guy, as well as someone who the WWE never took all that seriously, this is the wrestling-fan equivalent of civil disobedience.
Bryan's got that fan sympathy for a lot of reasons. For one thing, he spent more than a decade wrestling on the independent circuit before making it to the WWE, perfecting his craft to the point where he was, by general dork consensus, the single best pro wrestler in that world. His style, marked by brutal head-kicks and intricate MMA-derived submission holds, is built around doing stuff to his opponents that looks like it hurts real bad, and he's arguably better than anyone else at bringing that pain. For another, he doesn't exactly fit the standard pro wrestler image. He's a scraggly-bearded vegan indie rock fan, and though he's certainly diesel, he's nowhere near the absurdly muscular body type we most associate with WWE types. He carries himself like your friend's half-awkward stoner little brother, and that means he's an easy man to like.
We spoke with Bryan about his new crowd favorite status, his history with the WWE, and the general difficulties that come with being a vegan professional wrestler.
GQ: In the last couple of weeks, you've experienced a real groundswell of crowd support. Was this a surprise?
Daniel Bryan: Yeah, it really was, especially the reaction last week in Miami for Monday Night Raw. I didn't expect that at all. How could you?
GQ: Monday was a special night. What were you thinking as the night went on and the chants just kept going?
Daniel Bryan: I thought the whole thing was unreal, that all these people were getting behind me. Or maybe they weren't getting behind me. Maybe it's just fun to chant "Yes!" But it was really cool. I came out and did a post-show [non-televised] dark match, and there was a really special moment where they were behind me 100%.
GQ: Do you have any ideas as to why it's happening right now?
Daniel Bryan: Especially last week in Miami, I feel like part of it was a backlash against how short my match at Wrestlemania was. A lot of it is that people like to boo me, but they kind of like me. They don't want bad things to happen to me, like an 18-second loss at Wrestlemania, especially the hardcore fans, which is mostly who comes for Wrestlemania. People come from all over the world. They travel to Wrestlemania, and a lot of those people know my story, how long it took me to get a Wrestlemania match. And then for my first one to be an 18-second loss, it actually generated a lot of anger.
GQ: Do you share that anger?
Daniel Bryan: Of course I do. I was World Heavyweight Champion for four months. I wanted to go out there and steal the show. I was trained by Shawn Michaels, and that's what he's notorious for. I've always had the mindset that my wrestling is as good as or better than anybody out there. I was really looking forward to going out there and showing everybody what I can do on the biggest stage of them all, and then I just wasn't able to do it.
GQ: What was the conversation like when you were told that the match was going to go down like this?
Daniel Bryan: I mean, there wasn't much of a conversation. This is my job, you know? You have to do something, and even if you don't like it, that's what you do. But you go out there and do the best that you can. I went out and did the best entrance I could possibly do. You just do your best; that's all anybody can do.
GQ: There have been moments where WWE has been notorious for not doing what its audience wants. But with all the chants for you and how much you've been catching on since Wrestlemania, it seems like the company wouldn't be able to ignore that.
Daniel Bryan: Well, for example, [this week] I wasn't on Raw. There were loads of "Yes!" signs in the crowd, but I wasn't on Raw. There's always a lot of things that go into that; it was a hectic show. But yeah, there's some stuff like that that happens.
GQ: Moving forward, what would you like to be doing?
Daniel Bryan: I would like to have a more aggressive side to my character. Losing the World Heavyweight Championship in 18 seconds, storyline or not, is going to anger somebody. If you've been champion for four months and you lose it in 18 seconds on what's kind of a cheap shot, you're going to be a little bit angry. I'd like to amp up the more aggressive side of my character in that sense. But as far as what happens from here, who knows? I'm hoping that the fans keep getting behind me. Even if they do the "Yes!" chant in a mocking sense, I want them to see me in the same light that they've seen me before, as one of the main event guys on Smackdown.
GQ: Are there any people in particular that you're hoping to work with?
Daniel Bryan: I'd love to actually get a good match with Sheamus [laughs]. Last year, Sheamus and I were supposed to wrestle for the United States title, and it got bumped to the dark match before the show. This year, we were supposed to wrestle for the World Heavyweight Championship, and it was 18 seconds. Sheamus and I don't like each other, but our styles fit together very well. We're both very hard-hitting wrestlers, and we both want to go out there and steal the show. That's true at any pay-per-view, any show, regardless of whether it's Wrestlemania or a live event in, say, Athens, Georgia. We want to be what people are talking about when they leave.
GQ: You and Sheamus were both wrestling at little holiday camps in England a few years ago, right?
Daniel Bryan: Yeah, it's true. Sheamus obviously spent less time in independent wrestling than I did. But I spent a lot of time wrestling in high school gyms in front of 35 people. But I've also spent a lot of time in Japan, wrestling in front of 55,000 people. I've done both ends of the spectrum on the independent scale. But yeah, five years ago, me and Sheamus could've easily wrestled each other in front of 40 people in some little town hall in England.
GQ: Where did the "Yes!" chant come from? Was that your idea?
Daniel Bryan: It was really just, "How do I be as obnoxious as possible?" The "Yes!" thing came from a UFC fighter named Diego Sanchez. He's a tremendous fighter, but he also has these little obnoxious aspects to his character. One thing that he used to do—he doesn't really do it anymore—is that when he would come to the cage, he'd say "Yes! Yes! Yes!"—not the same way I do it, but as some sort of positive affirmation that he could win the fight. I thought, "I love this guy, but that's so annoying!" And then when I became a bad guy, I started doing it, and it really worked out. Speaking of Diego Sanchez, he also did something ludicrous in his last fight: Brandishing a cross in front of him like he was warding off a vampire. If my character has to change at all, I might do that [laughs].
GQ: I loved your title reign. It would've been cool to see you just crush some more people, but the way your character was the guy who would sneak away with the win, I thought it was really well-done.
Daniel Bryan: I was really thrilled with it, actually. I didn't expect to hold the title as long as I did. When I won it, I thought, "Oh, this is just a temporary thing. I'll probably lose it at the Royal Rumble." It cemented me, in a lot of people's minds, as someone who could be in a main-event spot and do a good job at it.
GQ: How hard is it to find good vegan food on the road?
Daniel Bryan: Oh, it's so hard. I've been doing media all morning, so I had to be on the hotel lobby at 5:45 this morning. We had an hour between two interviews, so trying to find a vegan spot here in Virginia that's open that early was tough. But we found one! It's harder late at night, after shows. If we finish work at 10:30 and we've got a 250-mile drive, it's hard to find anything vegan, so I just bring a lot of protein shakes and stuff like that.
GQ: Which cities have the best food option for you?
Daniel Bryan: I love Chicago. We'll be there for Extreme Rules at the end of this month. I love Seattle because that's where I'm from and I know all the spots. One of the places I love flying into is Baltimore. There's this vegan place right across from the airport that I always go to, and that's always a real treat. But in major cities, I can always find someplace good.
GQ: You're a big indie rock guy; what have you been listening to lately?
Daniel Bryan: Right now, I'm really digging this English guy named Frank Turner. He was opening for someone in Vegas recently, where I live, and I just missed him. We had a show on a Saturday, and I had to fly out on the Friday night, which is when his show was. He's my current favorite. And I also have a hit single with Kimya Dawson. She did the soundtrack for Juno, and she was part of the Moldy Peaches. It wasn't a hit single! [laughs] I did a song with her about Captain Lou Albano.
GQ: Is music something you want to do more of?
Daniel Bryan: No, no. I have a horrible voice. We recorded it just because she was making this tribute to Lou Albano. She knows me, I'm a wrestler, and she loves wrestling, so she was like, "Hey! You do backing vocals." I'm actually rapping, of all things. I don't think I have much of a career as a rapper.
GQ: The documentary Wrestling Road Diaries shows you on the road in your independent days, and it's got you buying records from thrift stores in all the cities you visit. Do you still try to find time to do that?
Daniel Bryan: It's hard now because I don't ever have time to listen to records. I left Vegas on Sunday, and I won't be home for 25 days. On the independents, I'd only be wrestling two or three days a week. I'd go to Japan, and I'd be gone longer, but normally I'd be home four days a week and I'd have time to listen to records. Now, we're on the road so much and I'm home so infrequently that it's just not worth the money. I was spending like $250 a month on records, but I just don't get a chance to listen.
GQ: How difficult is all that travel? Does it wear you down?
Daniel Bryan: The most draining part of it is that there's not a break. You don't get two weeks to let your body heal unless you're actually hurt, and none of us want to get hurt. There's no point where you can take a breather from it all. Raw is live every Monday, so you never get more than four days off in a row, and that can be taxing. That's the way the whole thing goes.
GQ: Do you find yourself missing the independent scene, or are you happier with the WWE?
Daniel Bryan: There are positives and negatives to both. I wanted to come to WWE party for personal accomplishment. I'd done essentially everything I could do on the independent scene, and I wanted to see how far I could get in the WWE. But also, you can only do this for so long, and at some point you have to try to save enough money to retire or at least to put yourself into a position to do something else. But what I miss most about independent wrestling is the people. I have a lot of friends in independent wrestling, and those bonds develop over 10 years. They don't come quickly. In the WWE, it's such a competitive atmosphere. There are only a few top spots, and then the rest of them are independent spots; you don't really create the bonds and friendships that I had on the independents.
GQ: But a bunch of indie guys are coming to the WWE now, right? Like Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero?
Daniel Bryan: Yeah, and I'm excited. I hope those guys get up on the road. That would be cool. But they're still down in the developmental system right now. Taking that step up from the developmental system to TV, you never know why they're going to bring somebody up. They could be down there a couple of years. My friend Tyler Black is wrestling in the developmental system as Seth Rollins; I'd love to have him come up to TV. That would be cool for me, but who knows when that's actually going to happen?
GQ: Do you have a favorite match that you've wrestled in the WWE?
Daniel Bryan: I don't have a specific favorite match. I had a series of matches with William Regal, and some of them were in England, where those people are so behind William Regal and so anti-me. And this is when I was a good guy! I just loved that. William played a big part in my training; he was a mentor to me ever since I was 18 years old. It was just a blast for us to go out there and wrestle like only we could do it.
GQ: How about in your years before WWE? Do you have a favorite match or a favorite feud?
Daniel Bryan: It's hard to say. I always loved wrestling Nigel McGuinness, and we had this match in England. Those people just loved Nigel; he's English. I ran his head into a pole, and he started bleeding furiously. That crowd was so with him. It was one of those matches where, at the end, you feel like you've accomplished something, like you really touched the 1200 people there. That's something that I miss about independent wrestling as well: The intimacy of those crowds. That was one of my favorite matches ever.
GQ: You've known CM Punk for a long time. On the indies, you used to call yourself "Best in the World," and he's adapted that as his catchphrase. Did he clear it with you beforehand?
Daniel Bryan: No, he didn't [laughs]. Literally, we haven't talked about it at all.
GQ: You're not annoyed about it?
Daniel Bryan: No, not at all. Chris Jericho had done something similar after I had done it. The only thing that I find really funny is that the "Best in the World" font on the back of his T-shirt is almost identical to the "Best in the World" on the back of my Ring of Honor shirts. It's just funny.
GQ: Punk used to use Living Colour's "Cult of Personality" as his theme music on the indies, and the WWE recently licensed it for him. You used to use Europe's "The Final Countdown." Has there been any talk of you getting that in the WWE?
Daniel Bryan: There has been zero. They've never mentioned getting anything licensed for me. Maybe things will change. But you know, I like the "Ride of the Valkyries" mix that I've got going on now.

Black Ops 2 Double XP Weekend Kicks Off Friday
Activision and Treyarch have announced a double experience weekend for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, which will take place starting on Friday, December 14th.
The double XP event will be available across all platforms, but the Xbox 360 has the added benefit of starting with a "Game with Developers" session. The event will run from 1PM EST on Friday through 1PM EST Monday, December 17th.
Along with the double XP, this weekend will also kick off Black Ops 2's clan competitions. Clans can sign up for one of three competitions on the Call of Duty Elite website, and earn double XP while playing. The three options include Core Domination Captures (Fri., 1PM EST), Core Kill Confirmed (Sat., 1PM EST on 360, 5PM EST on PS3), and Core Team Deathmatch (Sun., 5PM EST on 360, 4PM EST on PS3).
Treyarch promises it will, "soon be expanding the options over the coming weeks," meaning even more clan competitions are on the way. Unfortunately, mobile sign-ups for the competition are still being worked on, so the only way to make sure you take part is by signing up online.

sour grapes
Just a little kitchen tip for those of you who want to get into Iranian cooking. As you know, sour is a huge component of the cuisine- we get our sour from many sources- lemons and limes, fresh and dried, pomegranate in various forms, and... sour grapes! If you go to an Iranian market, you can actually find sour grape powder sold in the spice aisle. However, you can capture that flavor yourself, as long as you have access to some grape vines! What you should do is pick some unripe grapes- if you taste them they should be edible, but seriously pucker-inducing- and then preserve them. You can dry them and grind them to make powder, or juice them and freeze the juice in small segments (maybe an ice cube tray?), or just freeze them whole and throw them into recipes where a little sour somethin-somethin is called for.
The response to my Grandma recipe was so positive (thank you!) that I'm working on another of her recipes to post soon. Stay tuned!

Afew years ago, I taught my 13-year-old daughter to shoot. She had asked to learn, so we took my brother's single-shot .22 rifle out in the woods, set a beer can against a stump and began plinking away.
She had already been taught, as I had been from the age of 6, about handling guns safely, never pointing them at anyone, shooting only in a safe area and so on. What we were concentrating on now was marksmanship: learning to sight on the target, exhale half a breath and squeeze the trigger s-l-o-w-l-y. One shot at a time.
Hunting and target shooting, as generations of Americans used to be told, are not about releasing one's emotions and physical tension with guns, but about mastering them in order to steady the hand and shoot accurately. Schools and summer camps once promoted marksmanship for this reason, as an exercise in self-discipline. This kind of instruction declined in the 1960s, but it used to be as valued and routine a part of growing up as learning to swim.
My daughter knew much of this intuitively. Her corporate-executive aunt shot pheasants in Texas. Her oceanographer mother, who had hunted with her own father as a girl, was a capable wing shot. Her paternal grandfather had led the rifle team at the U.S. Naval Academy and later served as a coach of the U.S. Olympic rifle team. She occasionally wore one of his many marksmanship medals as a necklace pendant.
I had been a gun owner all my life, and though I rarely hunted anymore, I prized what proficiency I possessed. For several years, we spent Thanksgiving with friends in the Berkshires. A regular feature was a high-spirited skeet shoot rivalry in a field while the turkey cooked. My daughter said she loved the skeet shoot because it taught her that guns didn't need to be feared. For those who treat them with care and respect, she learned, firearms in the house are not necessarily more lethal than a sharp kitchen knife.
For a boy in the South, where I was raised — and still in much of rural America — acquiring his first shotgun or rifle was a rite of passage. It signified that a young man had been judged responsible by his parents. He had been taught safe gun handling and marksmanship, and had learned enough self-discipline so as not to be a hazard with his firearm to himself or anyone else.
But that culture is under attack, and the changes go well beyond the dramatic urbanization that has made safe shooting environments harder to access. They are about what guns have come to represent, especially to young men. We've witnessed the insidious growth in recent years of films, television programs and video games glorifying the splattering of human bodies with multiple-shot firearms as a sort of badge of manhood — the macho antidote for even petty annoyances. This is not John Wayne and Annie Oakley with quick-draw six-shooters and trick-shot accuracy. It's the delusion of solving problems in human relationships with massive and messy human extinction. It's about filling the air with metal.
There is no escaping it. Even as we were weeping over the slaughter of the innocents in Newtown — the assault-rifle butchery of those exquisite little children and their teachers — ads on our television sets were urging us to rush to the latest zillion-dollar creations in blow-them-apart moviemaking. Timed to open for Christmas!
Obviously, not everyone who sees a Quentin Tarantino film turns into a mass murderer, but children constantly bombarded with these images — and the incessant, rapid-fire promos for these movies are almost worse than the movies themselves — grow up conditioned not to the idea of handling firearms safely and responsibly but to fantasies about their blow-it-apart potential. And some of the less mentally stable, like Adam Lanza, will act on them.
To prevent another Newtown, we clearly need better policies on mental health, particularly in tracking behavior and personality problems in adolescent boys. We need faster and more thorough background checks for firearm purchasers. We need more reasoned talk from organizations like the NRA about the responsibilities of gun ownership and less shrieking about Second Amendment rights.
Today, more and more guns are designed for rapid fire and high-capacity magazines. These are basically combat weapons and have little or no place on a hunt or a non-military target range. No responsible gun owner I know would object to a ban on assault weapons. After all, federal law has banned machine guns for more than half a century. As for the massive magazines, no hunter needs more than five bullets in his rifle at a time, and pump shotguns are already restricted to three-shot magazines. Anyone with a handgun for self-defense who can't accomplish that with eight shots needs to turn in his pistol.
But the problem is not guns alone.
Those who believe it is often tell us that there are more guns per capita in the United States now than ever before. Almost anyone who was alive during the late 1940s will dispute that claim. Virtually every serviceman who served in World War II returned with at least one firearm, and many brought home dozens. If you doubt that, ask a veteran. Most brought back at least their service .45. Many who had been in combat believed that their guns had saved their lives. Where I lived in Fairfax County in those days, we had dozens of young children on our block, and every family I knew had at least one gun in the house.
Though most were hunting shotguns, there were plenty of handguns as well. But deaths and accidents were rare — so much so that the FBI didn't even keep figures on gun deaths until the 1950s.
When I was at the University of Virginia in the late 1950s, a great many students had guns in their dorm rooms or cars. Most were shotguns used for hunting after class, but handguns were kept, even in bedside tables, as valuable possessions. There were no rules against them because, as amazing as it seems today after massacres such as those at Newtown and Virginia Tech, I never heard — before, during or after my four years there — of any gun at the university used or even displayed as a weapon. We drank as much and had as many fights then as young men do now, but to have produced a weapon to settle one would have been considered both appalling and unmanly. It was just unthinkable.
The biggest change is not in the availability of guns but in the culture that surrounds them.
Let's suppose some of those Hollywood superstars who have made mega-millions from splatter-shot movies held a news conference and announced that they wouldn't do it anymore. Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and others have more than just influence: If they turned down gratuitously violent films, producers couldn't raise money to make them. Many of these stars have been active politically — some self-righteously, some earnestly — in save-the-world efforts. Why not ask them to save our world? Isn't it worth a try?
A current ad campaign for the very gun — complete with an extended magazine — used to slaughter the children of Newtown touts the Bushmaster as a way to earn "Your Man Card." Suppose these movie celebrities starred in ads emphasizing that no gun makes a man — it only requires that he learn safety, discipline and restraint. Suppose even NRA spokesmen noted that the real badge of manhood is what one doesn't do with a gun. We need an onslaught of such ads.
This is especially important in urban areas, where high-capacity handguns in particular are all too available, regardless of any laws, and only social pressure — fueled by the repeated sight of small coffins and paralyzed victims — can make a permanent dent in a macho street culture of firearm predation.
That day in Louisiana when I was teaching my daughter to shoot, a male cousin her age heard the shots, wandered by and asked if he could shoot, too. When I welcomed him to do so, he returned with his own rifle. I tried to ignore my discomfort with its assault-rifle appearance and gave him the same instructions I'd given my daughter — take careful aim, squeeze the trigger slowly and concentrate on hitting the beer can with just one shot. Then I gave him several cartridges.
He wanted nothing to do with marksmanship. He began firing from the hip as fast as he could. He was playing Rambo. He wanted to fill the air with metal.
That was the end of our shooting that day.

Even more than wealth, good health is at the top of consumers' to-do lists for 2013, a new survey shows. So jumping aboard the health wagon while it's still picking up speed may be a savvy move for marketers and retailers in the coming year, experts say.
The top five consumer health trends for 2013 will be food-waste consciousness, wellness in the workplace, mini-meals and snacking, mainstream veganism and gluten-free diets, according to a national survey of 2,800 adults conducted by the Values Institute at DGWB, a social science research group.
Consumers are increasingly adopting the ethos of "waste not, want not," especially in the kitchen, the survey found. Almost four in 10 Americans (39 percent) feel guilty about trashing food, more so than any other "green" sin. Since some waste is unavoidable, though, communities and corporations alike are looking for ways to convert compostable scraps into disposable cash. Marin County, Calif., has begun processing wasted food from local groceries and restaurants to generate electricity, and Starbucks has found a way to recycle coffee grounds and baked goods into laundry detergent.
Employers are realizing that working health into the corporate agenda benefits waistlines and bottom lines. With health care costs expected to rise 7 percent, companies are improving employees' health and minimizing health care expenditures by adding wellness programs. The survey predicts that we will see more discounted gym memberships, group Weight Watchers accountability plans, and active-design workspaces this year.
The trend toward mini-meals and snacking is expected to accelerate this year, as research has shown that those who eat between meals tend to have healthier diets. Already, snacks make up one of every five eating occasions in the U.S., the survey found. Especially prevalent is the advent of multiple mini-meals in place of the standard three squares a day. Salads, probiotic nuts and the ubiquitous cup of yogurt with fruit are slowly replacing breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Last year's rise of the flexitarians is foreshadowing a trend toward meatless eating and outright veganism, vegetarianism's older brother, the survey found. Consumers seeking exotic natural ingredients like jackfruit and quinoa have helped turn the tide, especially as increasingly popular Asian and Indian flavor profiles that turn their backs on animal products. The survey foresees the migration of herbivore-accommodating menus to mid-America from restaurants on both coasts next year.
Next year will witness even more Americans making the decision to go against the grain, the survey found. The past year saw an influx of gluten-free products as everyone and their brother started shunning their Wheaties. Gluten has joined carbohydrates and corn syrup as ingredients Americans love to leave out. From grocery stores and gastro-pubs to brands like Betty Crocker and Domino's, the food industry is taking advantage of this new, not-so-niche need.
"Our 2013 findings are consistent with the growing importance of health in America – if not yet as a daily routine, then certainly as a primary goal for three out of four consumers," said Mike Weisman, president of the Values Institute at DGWB. "More than ever, health is the new prestige barometer – meaning that most Americans would rather be called healthy than wealthy. Certainly this trend will have major implications for marketers and retailers looking to sway consumer opinion in 2013 and beyond."

Mr. Steve Best has been a member of the Charleston Southern University faculty since 1973. His father was in the military, so Mr. Best has called many places home, the last place being Fayetteville, NC, where his father retired. Mr. Best earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Clemson University, in the fields of biology and zoology. He taught at Greenville Tech for two years before coming to Charleston Southern (then Baptist College). He was also a teaching assistant at Clemson while in graduate school.
Mr. Best decided to come to Charleston Southern because there was a job opening and he already knew some people on campus. Over the years he has found several techniques to be successful in the classroom. The Biology Department was one of the first to use full-course syllabi in the classroom, covering everything to be taught in the semester. They also use a good bit of audio-visual, including video lab tapes for the students. The professors make a video tape of the labs, and if the students want to borrow them to use as a review for the test, they bring in a new tape exchange the two. The student gets their tape back when they return the lab tape. He has also found that making the labs high-impact and participatory is another successful technique.
I'm proof that lightning can strike twice in the same place, since I've been awarded twice, he says. But Mr. Best doesn't take any credit for himself. While he is concerned that all students have a chance for success, it is the entire Biology Department that makes up his teaching excellence. Mr. Best feels all students love biology, but not all are successful in the classroom. We give students a roadmap for success. If they follow the guidelines, they will be successful. But not all of them stay on track. He feels that getting to know the students by their name is one part of excellent teaching. And though appointments are nice, they aren't necessary if a student needs to meet with Mr. Best. The Biology Department is very accessible, and the doors are always open.
Mr. Best thinks that students find it interesting that he was in the military for over twenty years. He retired as a Lieutenant Colonel, and did extensive traveling while in the service, which kept him up-to-date with national and international affairs. He feels this diverse background has helped in the classroom. While not directly related to his work, Mr. Best loves the outdoors. He lives on the water, has four boats, and enjoys camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, and playing and watching sports. He also enjoys remodeling, both inside and outside he has added a back porch to his house and put down new floors and tile. I like to think up a plan, sketch it, and then do it.

It's not supposed to work this way. Carolina goalie Dan Ellis was just minding his net and his own business, trying to wrest playing time from young Justin Peters in the wake of Cam Ward's MCL sprain. When—bam!—he gets bowled over by Ryan Callahan. Before he can collect himself, or scramble to his skates, Derek Stepan pops the puck in over his prone body.
The goal stood because the officials ruled Callahan was pushed into the goalie by Joni Pitkanen. It would be the Rangers' only goal in a shootout win. But even in the charity point skills competition, nothing went right for Ellis. After Rick Nash scored on an indefensible move, New York clinched the victory with this "oh shit oh shit oh shit hey I scored" improvisation from rookie J.T. Miller. There will be better days, Dan.

Verde Resources
Verde Resources Inc. is a private Canadian mineral exploration company with big aspirations in the minerals and mining sector. We have been operating as a private mineral exploration business and looking to go public in the near-mid term. Our focus is on copper in South America – particularly Chile, however there is a good possibility we will expand this geographical focus as the Company grows and opportunities present themselves.
The Verde management is experienced mining professionals with years working internationally in many different locales and from a variety of professional backgrounds. The company has a technical skill set for finding copper, gold, and other metals.
We differentiate ourselves from our peers through our extensive Latin American experience, mineral resources professionalism, can-do attitude, and drive to succeed. We are environmentally and socially conscious of the communities in which we operate, working closely with our government and community partners.
Verde is the color green in Spanish and as we work in Spanish speaking countries the natural concept would be to play with green colors as the company follows a green environmentally favorable thinking. The company conducts business in Spanish & English, but the target audience is English speaking. The company's projects are in mountains and desert regions, dry, vast, large and desolate.
Our target market is the broader investment community and specifically brokers, retail investors and institutional investors/pension funds. They can be a sophisticated group and we are attempting to differentiate ourselves from our peers. We wish to present a strong, professional and organized image of our business and our team. The logo/color pallette is one of the first impressions they will see.
Logo Details:
Title: Verde Resources
Colors :
Dark Green (for certain)
Copper Brown (perhaps?)
Light Green (possibly)
The logo can be single color (dark green) or utilize multiple colors (max. 4).
Logo Feel: Professional, Clean, easily readable, moderately simple,
We'd like to have an icon within the logo to supplement the text. One suggestion would be a mountain of some sort (given our focus in South America) but we are open to suggestions.
The logo needs to be in vector format that we can open in Adobe Photoshop and Abobe Illustrator. Please no bitmap elements.
Please include a black and white version as well which can be used for printing.
Please also include jpeg copies of both the color and b/w versions.
Have Fun and Be Creative!

This Dominant Robot Wins Rock-Paper-Scissors 100% of the Time [VIDEO]
The machines are taking over.
In this video, a robot made in Japan displays an extraordinary proficiency at rock-paper-scissors. The Janken robot (named after Japan's name for the game) is as dominant as Peyton Manning against a Pop Warner football team, displaying an amazing 100% victory rate. That's right -- the Janken can't be beaten.
The secret? The Janken recognizes the shape the human hand throws out almost instantaneously, which makes your attempts to win amusingly pointless.
We think this is merely the beginning. First, it's rock-paper-scissors. The next thing you know, the Janken is tossing no-hitters against you in wiffle ball and shutting you out in ping-pong. Before you know it, 'The Terminator' stops being a sci-fi classic and is a gripping real-life documentary.

SIOUX FALLS - The Sioux Falls Police Department's Animal Control Division needs the public's help in locating a dog in reference to a dog bite.
Over the weekend, a 64-year-old female was mowing her lawn in the area of North Marquette Avenue and East Sixth Street. While the victim was mowing her lawn, a female in her sixties walked by with her dog on a leash. The dog was described as a small white fluffy dog.
As the dog went by, the victim stopped mowing and reached out to pet the dog. The dog lunged at her and bit her on the hand, breaking the skin,
If you have any information on this case, call Animal Control at 367-7000, Animal Control needs to identify the dog to verify its vaccinations.

A funny thing happened in the course of Lomas Brown trying to walk back his claim last week that he once intentionally missed a block in order to get his teammate Scott Mitchell injured: Brown says he has discovered that his memory is wrong, and the play on which he purposely missed a block is different than the play on which Mitchell suffered a season-ending injury.
That's what Brown told Gregg Doyel of CBS: According to Brown, the former Lions left tackle who is now an ESPN commentator, ESPN went through its archives and found the play that ended Mitchell's season, and it wasn't the same play that Brown remembered.
After Brown's boast about purposely getting Mitchell hurt became a hot topic in the NFL this week, someone posted a video on YouTube that appears to show the play that got Mitchell hurt in a loss to the Packers. That play does show Brown lining up at left tackle and turning to the inside, leaving Packers right defensive end Sean Jones alone to rush to the outside and get a free shot at Mitchell. But as the New York Times noted, there's really no way to know whether Brown was supposed to block Jones on that play and intentionally let him go, or whether the Lions' pass protection on that play called for Brown to block to the inside.
Brown's memory of the 1994 game is faulty. He described the Lions as being down 24-3 at the time he missed his block, but the score of that game was never 24-3. Based on the YouTube video, it appears that the score was actually 10-0 when Mitchell was hurt. And Brown's description of the play suggests that he initially engaged Jones but then let him go, while the video shows Brown turning inside at the snap and never going near Jones.
In any event, whether Mitchell's injury actually happened on a play on which Brown intentionally missed a block isn't particularly important. Either (1) Brown tried to injure a teammate and succeeded, or (2) Brown tried to injure a teammate and failed but happened to get his wish because the teammate got injured on another play in the same game. Brown initially claimed option 1 but now claims option 2. Neither of those options reflects well on Brown.
The third option is that Brown fabricated a story about intentionally injuring a teammate because he thought that would be a swell way to get attention. That sounds ridiculous, but considering that Brown makes his living by appearing on ESPN First Take, a show that encourages its panelists to seek attention by making outrageous statements, it's plausible.
If that's what happened, and Brown has now discovered that the attention he generated is unwanted, claiming that he wasn't actually responsible for Mitchell's injury might be Brown's way of attempting to minimize the damage to his reputation. But whatever Brown may say now, his reputation has been permanently tarnished.
