One of the more disconcerting parts of growing older, I've discovered, is watching the subtle change in who remembers your birthday. When I was growing up, my father would herald the occasion by marching into my room in the morning with a yellow rose he had picked from the garden. My mother would follow behind with balloons and presents. That was nice. More recently, though, the most regular celebrants have been my dentist's office (Happy Birthday! Time for your annual cleaning!) and, sadly, my insurance agent (Happy Birthday! Time for—what? Another tick up the actuarial charts??) This year, my daughter inaugurated the day by throwing up in the kitchen sink and then, somewhat sheepishly, wishing me well. At least she remembered.
Meanwhile, my friend Kalypso, a professor at oxford, sent something very sweet. "Happy birthday," she wrote. "You will always be 25 to me." I found this touching on so many levels. First, that she had remembered the day. (True confession—I love my friends dearly, but almost never remember any of their birthdays.) Second, that she had taken the time to write. And third, that she so deftly noticed how, at some stage, we all stay frozen in time. I met Kalypso when we were both in graduate school, before we had our jobs, our babies, our homes. I knew her before either of us had met the men who would eventually be our husbands. And so, to some extent, we will both always be 25 to each other, caught in that magical moment of time when nothing has quite yet happened but everything is possible.
Vicariously, I felt these same clutches of nostalgia at Barnard's wonderful reunion, which unfolded on campus June 4–6. On the lawn and in classrooms, at classmates' apartments and in cafés along Broadway, women were embracing each other and their pasts, grappling with the fact—so obvious and yet so mystifying—that they were no longer 18, or 25, or 32. Ruefully, some would point to portraits of their younger selves, noting the passage of time. Quietly, some were comparing who hadn't apparently aged, and how. But what struck me the most—and hit me anew when I received my own friend's note—was that everyone still identified so strongly with their 25-year-old selves; with the women they had been before their lives took shape. Part of this focus was surely a factor of reunion itself; after all, we bring people back to precisely where they were at 22, and then surround them with all the vestiges of those years. and yet part of this identification, I suspect, has to do with the age at which women see themselves in their own minds' eye, the age that sketches the eternal portraits in their heads, if not their mirrors.
Arguably, women are at the height of their physical attractiveness in their early 20s. Certainly (unlike men) they are at peak of their reproductive potential. but for women—and particularly for smart, educated, and ambitious Barnard women—this period of life also represents a time of nearly infinite choices. Whether or not to get married, whether or not to have children. Whether to pursue a profession, or indulge a dream, or move to another country. after one's 20s, even in an era of enhanced mobility and advanced fertility, paths tend to become narrower and more concrete. We make choices and accumulate baggage and define who we become. that is why I think we all love to remember who we were before we decided; who we were when we could have been anyone.
At Barnard, I have been particularly struck by the strength of connections between current students and alumnae. our students adore meeting our alumnae and hearing about their lives and life decisions; our alums revel in our students' successes and in the vast array of opportunities they face. at some level, all Barnard women—regardless of their age—seem to recognize the magic that occurs during their time on campus and the extent to which the choices of their college years echo across the rest of their lives. that's why reunion is such a powerful event here, and why it connects Barnard alumnae not just to their classmates but to the entire community of smart and beautiful Barnard women— women who become even smarter and more beautiful with age.
So come back next year, and the year after, and the year after that. It's far more fun, I promise, than a birthday.

Easy Costumes for Seniors and In Home Elderly Help
It's hard to believe that we are already into the second week of October. The leaves are changing and there's a bit of a chill to the air in the mornings and evenings. It's time to pull out our sweatshirts and put away the shorts. Fall is in full force and soon it will be Halloween.
Many people believe that Halloween is only meant for trick-or-treating for candy. This is not entirely true. This holiday is the perfect excuse to play dress up and act like a kid. You might have an elderly loved one in your life who might find great pleasure in participating in this fun holiday! While it can be a lot of fun to dress up; there's no need to feel that you have to rush out to the nearest Halloween store and pick out an expensive costume. Easy costumes for seniors can be homemade and creative.
One simple and do-it-yourself costume for a senior lady is to transform into Mary Poppins. This costume would only involve a long black skirt, a tucked in white blouse, and a black umbrella. The symbolism of the black umbrella would be enough portray this iconic character. A simple umbrella could also be used as a metaphor for 'raining cats and dogs'. Attach some cute stuffed animals on strings to the umbrella, while also wearing a poncho, for a creative and easy costume for seniors.
Another easy costume for seniors is to pretend they are a bag jelly beans. A clear garbage bag worn over a simple outfit filled with colorful balloons will look like the festive candy treat. A clever costume that is also very simple to create involves wearing a hot pink colored hooded sweatshirt with sneaker hot glued to the hood while worn on the head. This would make for a funny depiction of gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe.
Halloween doesn't have to be just for kids. There are many do-it-yourself easy costumes for seniors that don't have to cost a lot and can be easily made a home.
If you would like to learn more about in home help for the elderly, call Senior Helpers of Fountain Valley to speak to a senior care specialist today 714-593-1177!

The Addams Family is a musical comedy that completes the circle of numerous adaptations of these strange and creepy characters, created by Charles Addams in his single-panel gag cartoons. The creative team of the musical includes Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, who have written the book. Andrew Lippa composes the unforgettable songs. Julian Crouch and Phelim McDermott are the original directors and designers, with choreography by Sergio Trujillo.
The Addams Family features an original love story that turns into Wednesday Addams parent's nightmare. That little girl has suddenly become a young woman and has fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. Her parents are terrified by the fact that their princess of darkness has a normal boyfriend. For Gomez and Morticia this is a shocking development that turns the Addams house upside down when they are forced to host a dinner for the young man and his parents. So these well known characters present an amazing show with fantastic humor.
The first performance of the musical was an out-of-town tryout in Chicago at the Ford Center in 2009. The show opened officially on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on April 8, 2010. After 34 previews and 725 performances, the Broadway production closed in the end of December 2011. An original cast recording was released in 2010 by the label Decca Broadway, including 21 songs and the bonus track for the iTunes sung by Andrew Lippa - Not Today.
The original Broadway production of The Addams Family was a total hit in 2010. The performance received four Broadway.com Audience Awards, two Drama League Awards, Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Set Design.
A United States tour began in September 2011. The production will perform to more than 30 cities in the U.S. and Canada in 2011 and 2012, including Houston, Boston, Hartford, Durham, Baltimore, Cleveland, St Paul, San Diego, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Pittsburgh and more.

According to TMZ, police arrested Tekashi69 in New York for an outstanding arrest warrant.
The rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was arrested Wednesday at JFK Airport after returning from a tour in Europe. He's accused of choking a 16-year-old at the Galleria Mall in January. According to an affidavit, the victim saw him at the mall and pulled out his phone to start recording him. That's when Hernandez turned around and told him to erase the video. The rapper then allegedly attacked the teen, so the teen erased it out of fear.
Hernandez has caused lots of controversy since stepping into the spotlight for not only his music, but with his previous run-ins with the law. He previously pleaded guilty to three felony accounts of sexual misconduct with a child.
Earlier this year, alleged members of Tango Orejon, a local prison gang, threatened to impose "penitentiary rules" if he performed at a local nightclub.
"We don't f--- with no mother f------ child molesters in our city," one man said in a video that went viral online.
One of the men in the video, 35-year-old Adam Rodriguez, was arrested at the San Antonio International Airport after an airport officer recognized him.
When Clayton's Beach Bar booked the rapper for Spring Break, many online were outraged as well.
His team told TMZ the police had no business arresting him and extraditing him to Texas this week on what's ultimately a misdemeanor case.

Comic 508: oh my god what is happening to that woman's hair??
From a comedy standpoint, doing my best to avoid the horrible mess on that woman's head, it's just trying to be funny by being random. We're supposed to go "woah, what the hell does 'upholstery' mean here? HA HA I DON'T EVEN KNOW." I feel like the joke is either suppsed to be the woman's analogy does make sense, in which case we feel a little left out because she never explains what it is (because Randall has no idea, he just wants to present the CRAZY IDEA even if it makes no sense). OR the joke is that she also doesn't know what it means but she's using it as a convenient rebuttal to his question, but that doesn't quite feel like what the comic is going for. Also it's not that funny.
Lastly, I know Abstruse Goose is supposed to be similar to xkcd, but AG 81 just seems waaaay to close to xkcd 353.

Heehee. I agree with all you have to say, but this one still made me laugh.ReplyDelete
It might be that there's actually artwork in this one... "artwork" that at least corresponds to the joke. I just like that last panel where the dude's scratching his head.
I was confused about what the joke was supposed to be. I felt a lot like the guy in the last panel, "wait, what?" I know what upholstery means, and it's not that hard a concept to get your head around, so where's the joke?ReplyDelete
Kiwi: The phrase "does the carpet match the drapes" means "does the colour of your hair match your pubes", i.e. it's a risque way of asking a girl if she has dyed hair.ReplyDelete
But "upholstery" has no meaning in the context of this phrase, so her answer doesn't really mean anything- and Mr Stickman is left scratching his head.
Vlad, you forgot the most important step: "And then we all laugh uproariously because it is SO FUNNY"ReplyDelete

The upholstery is the armpits, I think.ReplyDelete
@Vlad: thanks, but I prefer to remain blissfully ignorantReplyDelete

to be fair, as a redhead who has gotten this question before, i think it works, just in a twisted way. it's a stupid answer to a stupid question, and left the asker the one who is confused and uncomfortable instead of the askee (because, let me tell you, that is a VERY rude and awkward question to ask a natural redhead. because then they're going to ask for proof :-/ )ReplyDelete
i like to think of it as the main character getting some of that "quirkiness" he loves to show off so much thrown back in his face by someone who clearly gets crap for being visually quirky and can't hide it.
and beyond that, i try not to think about it too much.
- AnonymousJune 4, 2009 at 8:50 PM
Does the carpet (pubic hair) match the drapes (head hair)? Yes, but not the upholstery (armpit hair, for example).ReplyDelete
Girl dyed her pubic hair too, so though it's not natural; carpet matches the drapes.
It felt simple to me. I probably just have a gutter mind. But yeah, joke was mediocre. Of course, what I used it for IRL wasn't...
really? No one jumped on her misinterpreting the question? I figured that she thought he was actually asking if her carpets on her floor in her house matched the drapes that were in front of the windows (which according to her they do) and the upholstery would be the furniture in whatever room she is refering.ReplyDelete
In that sense, the man is left confused because he's probably a) never heard that answer or b) not quick enough to catch that she actually though he was talking about floor carpets and window drapes
I think that's an interesting idea, and maybe it's right, but I suspect that's not it - simply because there are no carpets or drapes in the comic. If she had misinterpreted his question as being a surface level meaning, she would have said "what drapes are you talking about, weird dude? stop bothering me, i have to go to the fucked up hair convention" or something like that.ReplyDelete

IPv6: Enabling the Internet of Things and Smart Grids
The Internet of Things is a fast growing market where IPv6 will play a central role. Cisco has recently delivered a new series of products with very innovate technologies for the energy market with a number of new technologies, all IPv6 based!
Indeed, the new routing protocol for the Internet of Things, RPL, which has been adopted as an international standard by the IETF (RFC 6550) and CoAP, the lightweight resources management protocol specified by the IETF are both IPv6 protocols. With the increasing number of devices connected to IP networks, IPv6 is undoubtedly the protocol of choice for the Internet of things.
A key example of where this comes to play is in Smart Grids.
As electric utilities across the world are modernizing their energy infrastructure -the Field Area Network of utility operations, which handles the electric distribution down to the meter and the meter reading back, is a key area of focus. A white paper, authored by experts from across the utility industry, outlines how an IPv6-based architecture provides the last-mile Smart Grid infrastructure to support advanced applications including meter readout, demand-response, telemetry, grid monitoring, and automation.
You can read more about this here: A Standardized and Flexible IPv6 Architecture for Field Area Networks
Also, take a look at this short video from our partner Itron's CEO LeRoy Nosbaum, speaking about IPv6 and how it will enable a highly secure and interoperable Smart Grid.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Where are you from?
My parents are immigrants from Puerto Rico. I grew up in Brooklyn with the immigrant mentality that you can create a future; they were very DIY and made everything from scratch.
When and how did you get your start?
I was working as a receptionist at an architecture firm and realized I love design so I took classes in color theory at Parsons and then started working for interior designer Shelia Bridges. She was doing a few really big names, I got to help with Diddy's house as her assistant. It was through this job that I was given the opportunity to see what it was to be a correspondent.
What do you love about your job?
I love that you can influence so many people in 3 minutes.
What is the biggest challenge for you?
The biggest blessing and the biggest challenge as a bicultural Latina is it's so hard to get people to understand that you're different but the same. Especially in television, we need more content that appeals to Hispanics. I come here with culture, heritage, and values that are important to me, I am different. People need to wake up and see we're different and that we have role models too.
What is the best advice you were ever given?
I had a theatre teacher William Pope L who shared wrong and strong. Even if you're in it and what you're doing isn't 100% right then forge finish strong give it all you have. Do it the best and as well as you can do it. And from my mom en Guerra avisada no mueren soldados. Meaning in a war when you know there is going to be one; be prepared, if you're prepared you can't lose.
Whats your advice for young Latinas?
If you speak Spanish, speak it if you don't learn it! It is so important to have a second language. It is the best to work and live in this country. So much is passed through language, you miss a lot if you don't.

As I've mentioned before, I will be part of NBC's election night broadcast team. They will have a group of three bloggers–Ana Marie Cox, Joe Trippi (Is he a blogger? Not that I know of), and me. They will refer to us periodically for our comments on the races, and for information about what is being said and reported in the blogosphere.
The blogosphere has been referred to as "open source journalism," and I think that's a pretty good description. I'd love to use this opportunity to demonstrate that we bloggers are a powerful source of real-time information, not a curiosity. So: if you have anything interesting to report, or any analyses of the election returns that you think are worthwhile, send them to our Power Line mailbox, linked on the left side of the page. I hope I'm deluged with interesting material from all over the country–especially the swing states, of course. And I'll try to get as much of the best stuff as I can on the air. I'll also be live-blogging.
I'm guessing that the resources of NBC News are dwarfed by the information-gathering and information-analyzing capacity of the hundreds of thousands of smart people who read this site. Help prove me right on Tuesday.

Forcing defendants to decrypt hard disks against their will has long been a thorny issue that may—or may not—violate the Fifth Amendment. The latest case has seen a federal judge refuse to insist that a Wisconsin child porn suspect decrypt the contents of his hard drive—but what do you think?
In a court filing, Judge William E. Callahan wrote about his decision:
"Feldman's act of production, which would necessarily require his using a password of some type to decrypt the storage device, would be tantamount to telling the government something it does not already know with 'reasonably particularity'-namely, that Feldman has personal access to and control over the encrypted storage devices. Accordingly, in my opinion, Fifth Amendment protection is available to Feldman. Stated another way, ordering Feldman to decrypt the storage devices would be in violation of his Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination."
It's a tough moral question to know what the right course of action is here: is the Fifth Amendment an important right for US citizens, or is it outdated in the modern world? What do you think? [Ars Technica]

Viking Range Corporation is pleased to announce its latest product offering – Viking D3, a unique and innovative line of kitchen appliances featuring breakthrough design, performance, and personalization options. Viking D3 is the only line of major appliances to offer consumers a completely new approach to design, including exciting styling, 24 designer colors, and personalization options.
At the heart of the D3 design innovation is its novel, patent-pending option for customizing knobs and handles to complement virtually any cabinetry finish or kitchen décor using consumer-installed knob and handle inserts. Beautiful stainless steel knobs and handles with polished chrome inserts come standard on each D3 appliance. However, for the consumer wanting complete flexibility with the accent finishes of their appliances, the chrome inserts are removable and may be replaced with optional inserts in different colors or finishes. The chrome inserts can be kept and easily reinstalled at a later date.
The customization process is simple. Kits containing either wood or clear acrylic knob and handle inserts may be purchased either at a Viking dealer or online at vikingrange.com and used to replace the chrome handle and knob inserts that are shipped standard with the product. The inserts can be quickly and easily changed as a "do it yourself" project in just a few minutes. And if the homeowners' tastes or décor change, or if they would like to color coordinate their appliances with a season or holiday, the knob and handle inserts can be repeatedly replaced with new inserts in an entirely different finish or color.
To provide maximum design flexibility, the optional knob and handle inserts are offered in clear acrylic for unlimited paint color choices and in wood in several stains to complement the most popular cabinetry finishes. Wood inserts are also offered unfinished so they can be stained to match any adjacent cabinetry finish. For painted finishes, the consumer spray paints the backside of the clear inserts any color they wish and the resulting paint finish looks factory-applied through the clear acrylic.
The Viking D3 line is available in 24 designer finishes, from lemonade and mint julep to wasabi, along with venerable stainless steel, providing the appliance industry's broadest palette of colors and finishes for adapting to any conceivable kitchen décor. Because of the infinite number of combinations provided by the standard D3 knobs and handles, the option of convertible and customizable knob and handle inserts, and a choice of 24 different finishes, no other appliance line can match the design options and flexibility of the new D3 line from Viking.
To enable the consumer to visualize different knob and handle colors and finishes on D3, Viking has created a new D3 customization feature on its website. This interactive design tool allows consumers to change knob and handle inserts with a variety of wood finishes and an infinite selection of colors. Brent Bailey, Director of Design at Viking, said, "This will be a fun way for people to modify and create their own D3 appliance and visualize how it would look in their kitchen."
Bailey further stated, "The robust, yet modern styling of D3 gives a slight nod to our Professional heritage while providing an entirely new design interpretation of the Viking brand. Viking has always been at the forefront of kitchen appliance design and performance. D3 provides design choices that no other manufacturer offers. We're certain that consumers will be excited about that creative aspect of the line."
The D3 product line consists of 30" convection ranges, cooktops and built-in convection ovens, microwaves, warming drawers, ventilation, dishwashers, and a French door refrigerator/freezer. Ranges are available in gas self-clean, dual fuel, and electric models. Gas and dual fuel ranges have five high-performance sealed gas burners that provide up to 18,000 BTUs of powerful, precise cooking power for which Viking is known. The electric range provides five QuickCook™ electric elements that reach full power in three seconds. The electric and dual fuel self-clean convection ovens boast the largest oven capacity available.
Because Viking D3 appliances are in standard dimensions, they are ideal for replacing existing appliances in addition to new construction and total kitchen remodel, at a price point that will represent the greatest consumer value in the luxury appliance segment.

The answer is "yes" to both – kids in childcare do get sick more often but research shows that this can lead to fewer days off school when they're older.
Building immunity
Sydney GP Dr Ginni Mansberg offers this assurance to parents: "It's not unusual for little kids to have up to 12 infections with a fever a year.
"And while it's horrible for children and parents to go through at the time, the bonus is that they're building up a library of immunity which will hold them in good stead for the rest of their lives."
The results of a study published in a recent issue of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine backs up what Dr Mansberg says.
The US study followed children born in 1998 to 1238 families for eight years. The kids went to either a large childcare centre, a small, home-based centre with three to eight children, or they were cared for at home.
Compared with children who were cared for at home, those who began going to a large childcare facility before they were 2½ years old had higher rates of respiratory and ear infections during early childhood, the same risk of infection during preschool and lower rates once the hit primary school.
The study called on doctors to reassure parents that the seemingly constant illnesses knocking out their kids and other family members will not lead to "a higher overall burden of infection" – that is, kids in childcare just get sick more often in a shorter period of time.
Dealing with childcare syndrome
The reason kids are so susceptible is not only because their library of infections is limited but also because of the way they interact with each other.
It's this simple: Children are at high risk of catching illnesses because they are always putting their dirty little hands and other snot and germ-infested objects into their mouths. Plus they have no concept of personal space and, when they're little, don't know how to cover their mouths when they cough and sneeze.
Infections, fevers and illnesses are caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites, many of which are passed by saliva droplets left on toys or coughed through the air. Some childcare nasties like impetigo, chicken pox, conjunctivitis and ringworm, require direct contact with the infection for it to be caught.
Other illnesses are spread by "faecal oral transmission", which occurs when someone comes into contact with infected poo. This can easily happen in childcare where kids are having nappies changed or accidents in play areas. Illnesses which can be transmitted this was include diarrhoea, gastro and worms.
Keeping kids well at daycare
While ideally sick kids wouldn't end up at daycare sharing germy toys with your child, that can be fairly hard to control as a littlie can be well one minute and burning up with a fever or breaking out in a rash the next.
Most childcare centres have fairly strict policies when it comes to dealing with sick or infected kids – that is, send them home and keep them home until they're well.
According to the childcare directory CareforKids.com.au, while it's sometimes okay to send your child to care with a cold, if you're wondering whether your child is well enough to attend, ask yourself these questions:
- Will my child be well enough to comfortably and happily participate in the activities of the day?
- Will my child's care provider be able to care for my child without it affecting their ability to look after the other children?
- Will my child pass the illness on to others if I send them in today?
Also, it's never too early to start teaching your child good hygiene habits, like washing hands regularly, and covering mouths when coughing or sneezing.

NP2012 wrote:Yes! It took me almost a year to figure out a way to cure myself of this. I started having twitching all over in Sept 2013. Then, it developed into severe spasms, primarily in my arms ( brachialis to be specific). I started taking note of the days when I would experience this. It seemed to always be present, but was worse the week before and the week during my menstrual cycle. So, after seeing 2 neurologists, 2 cardiologists, and 2 neuromuscular specialists, I decided to put myself on birth control. It has been a huge difference since then! The cramp has stopped about 80%. I still feel it the week before and of my cycle at times, but no where near as severe. Before the birth control, I would be crying in pain from the spasms I would get in my arms. I still have twitches here and there daily, but those don't bother me. As long as the cramps and spasms are controlled, I can live with taking birth control. Also, I was never given the official diagnosis of BFS, but pretty much after all the tests were complete no doctor could give me an answer. So, my assumption is that in some way BFS is related to a hormonal imbalance. I was so grateful to hear that other people were experiencing the same symptoms. I notice now on the week of my cycle I don't take any birth control pills, and that is when the twitching and spasms are worst, so I am assuming it is due to the lack of taking a hormone supplement ( birth control) on those days.

The twitches seem to come when I am triggered. Is there something triggering you right now in your life? Try to relax and get away, deal with the trigger.
I recently had a buzzing sensation in my foot/ankle, lasted briefly, IDK what that was?
I am working on getting worked up for Fibro, CFS and low cortisol.
In a way, if you have PTSD, you kinda already have Fibro/CFS, according to my PDoc. I take baby aspirin to prevent inflammation. I haven't had the touch points test, but I know I have two tender areas on the lateral sides of my thighs."

Snap Secure Protects your Smartphone, It's Data, and Your Loved Ones in One Package
With so much of our personal and professional lives being shared all day long via smartphones, it's wise to invest in another layer of security in addition to just adding a device password. Snap Secure for Android wants to be your one-stop shop to keeping your smartphone, its data, and you safe around the clock.
Starting with your smartphone's data. Snap Secure can back up all of your personal data, including call/text logs, calendar dates and email messages, in once place that's secured using 24-bit data encryption. A bonus is you can restore your data to a different device. So if you upgrade your smartphone, you can use the app to integrate it with your current data. The app also offers malware scanning and other anti-virus tactics so your data isn't corrupted.
Snap Secure also keeps your smartphone safe by offering smartphone tracking via GPS "find my phone" that be located by using the Snap Secure online dashboard. Just in case your phone can't be retrieved, you can use the dashboard to perform a remote wipe so no one else gains access to your data. If somebody inserts a foreign SIM card into your phone, the phone will be locked down and you will be alerted by email with location information.
Up to five family members can be added to one Snap Secure account. This enables users to add their families smartphones (I'm assuming all phones must be Androids) to the plan to track data, call, and text usage, and even keep track of where your family member's location. Geo-fencing is included so parents can set a perimeter around where their kids are allowed to go, and can be sent alerts notifying them when their kids "wander" outside the agreed boundary. If you or a family member feels they are in danger, Snap Secure offers a "panic button" that when pressed, can send out a text message, email, phone call, or even a tweet to let anybody you're connected with know your whereabouts.
There are other added features like the ability block unwanted calls, and app transparency, so you can clearly see what apps have access to what data. To make a long story short, Snap Secure consolidates many of the one or two features you use across multiple apps and services, into one robust service. It's free to sign up, with plans starting at $5.99/month for up to five family members and unlimited devices. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Mid-South cotton and grain farmers are no strangers to uncertainty in their farming operations. No one knows, for example, if the Mid-South will have an early spring or a "blackberry winter" in the next two months.
National Cotton Council leaders are also having to learn to deal with more uncertainty given the federal budget crisis and the need to revisit the nation's four- or five-year farm legislation in the midst of a presidential election year.
That's basically what NCC Chairman Chuck Coley said when he spoke to the opening session of the 60th annual Mid-South Farm and Gin Show in Memphis, Tenn., this morning. The incoming chairman of the Council traditionally gives the first speech at the "Gin Show's" Friday-morning educational seminar.
Coley, a cotton producer and ginner from Vienna, Ga., said one of the biggest uncertainties is the ongoing effort to rein in the federal budget deficit through cuts to farm programs and to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's budget.
"There will be proposals to increase agriculture's budget cuts," he said. "Recall that the agriculture committees recommended to the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction a $23 billion reduction over 10 years. In contrast, the administration's budget, released last month, calls for cuts in agriculture of $32 billion over 10 years, including elimination of direct payments and a sharp reduction in crop insurance funding."
Similarly troubling will be the probable push from other agricultural organizations for a "one size fits all" approach instead of a package of options tailored to fit each commodity covered in the next farm bill.
The Council unveiled its own farm policy position last summer and then re-affirmed the language at its annual meeting in Ft. Worth, Texas last month. The proposal is called the Stacked Income Protection Program or STAX — an area-wide crop insurance-based, shallow loss risk management program, along with adjustments to the marketing loan.
The Council was successful in including STAX in the House and Senate agriculture committees' proposal to the Joint Committee on Deficit Reductions last November. The Select Committee was unable to put together a deficit-reduction plan, creating even more uncertainty for the next budget cycle.
"Even though the Joint Committee failed to produce a deficit reduction plan by the congressionally-mandated deadline, we will be working for adoption of STAX during the 2012 farm bill re-authorization," said Coley.
House and Senate agriculture committee leaders have announced a new round of hearings over the next few weeks that appear to be aimed at drafting new farm bill language, possibly as early as the beginning of April.
The National Cotton Council will also be seeking adjustments to the marketing loan for cotton, in part, to address the ongoing fallout from the WTO case Brazil brought against the U.S. cotton program in 2006.
"Of course, cotton has its own specific challenge with the WTO Brazil case and the need to negotiate a settlement," Coley said. "That said, we are convinced that the STAX and the marketing loan changes offer the most effective proposals to satisfy the WTO Brazil case in spite of the initial criticism included in the Brazilian government letter."
The letter was sent by the Brazilian government in response to the renewed efforts to reopen the farm bill debate; a debate that many had thought might be postponed to 2013 due to the presidential election. Coley said the Council has developed some strong counter-points to the Brazil letter and shared these with Congress, USDA and the U.S. Trade Representative.
"Unfortunately, some have interpreted Brazil's letter as an endorsement of current farm policy — when in fact, Brazil only views current policy as less objectionable than the farm bill options they criticized — because with current policy, payments are capped, de-coupled and based on historic production," said Coley.
"Throughout this process, it is absolutely critical that the cotton industry remain united behind our proposal, while understanding the continuing need for discussions with our membership the reasoning for our farm bill position."
Depending on the timing of the 2012 farm bill debate, Coley said the Council may have to develop recommendations on how to transition to the STAX program in 2014, if USDA is unable to implement it for the 2013 crop due to insurance deadlines.
"If that is the case, the Council will count on the leadership of the American Cotton Producers and its Farm Policy Task Force to begin the process which will culminate in the development of recommendations that will ultimately be considered by the Council's Board," he noted.
"As a final word on farm bill challenges, these are going to require patience and flexibility by the industry's leadership, as we work our way through the farm bill debate. Without doubt, we will be counting on the support of our friends in Congress, including the industry's good friends in the Mid-South's Congressional delegation.

Quick, take a guess: what's the average age American kids are getting their first cellphones? 10? 12? 14?
According to data out today from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, most are 12 or 13. But hold on, there, before you go ripping the phone from your 10-year-old's fingers. According to Pew, while none of the 17-year-olds in the survey got phones when they were 11 or younger, more than half of today's 12-year-olds had phones when they were 11 or younger.
So, the times are a'changing, and it appears most parents today think it's ok to give their kid a phone by the time they turn 11. What do you think? When did your kid get his or her first phone? Are 11-year-olds mature enough to have cellphones?

For $5 a month I can get one for my almost 10 yr old. So we're activating an old one that isn't being used anymore for her to use for emergencies. If it gets lost, we don't really care. She travels to relatives for months out of the summer though and is always out at sleepovers, girl scout outings, etc. So it's nice to know if she has an emergency she can call us quickly. Plus she's excited to be able to take pictures while she's out. I wouldn't buy her a new one, but I don't think it's crazy to give a used one. It's not like you can find a payphone these days like when I was a kid.

I brought my great neice one last month for her 7th birthday. She has had one since her six birthday. It is a prepaid phone and she has to save her allowance to buy minutes. I upgraded her to a camera phone so she would be able to send pictures and text. She is a A, B student and is a overall great kid. My family decided to get her one due to the fact that shes on the go alot to one of our houses or to a friends house for a sleepover. She has asthma and needs to be able to consult with her mother or grandmother at all times. So far she has been very good with it. She is not allowed to take it to school or church.

NM Tech Students Help Study Questa Mine, Nov. 8, 2005
Right: Students split drill cuttings with a soil splitter as part of the Questa Mine rock pile study.
by Shawna Carter
SOCORRO, N.M., Nov. 8, 2005 — For the past two years, New Mexico Tech undergraduate and graduate students have been assisting in an ongoing Molycorp-sponsored research project that focuses on the effects of weathering on the physical stability of the Questa Mine rock piles in northern New Mexico.
The Questa Rock Pile Weathering Project, led by Virginia McLemore, Senior Economic Geologist with the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, requires a massive amount of interdisciplinary research.
In order to complete the scope of the project, McLemore and her Questa Rock Pile Weathering Project team have incorporated several New Mexico Tech students into their workforce.
Students working on the Questa Rock Pile Weathering Project team gain beneficial hands-on experience in the field and in the laboratory, McLemore points out.
"These students are trained to use equipment that they probably would not have had exposure to inside a normal classroom environment," she says.
Since much of the laboratory analysis of field samples is done by Tech students, the Questa Rock Pile Weathering Project team has found its student workers to be indispensable, McLemore says.
"The hands-on experience along with safety training and on-the-job training these students receive through the Questa Rock Pile Weathering Project make these students valuable to future employers," she adds.
Samuel Tachie-Menson, a New Mexico Tech graduate student working on the Questa Rock Pile Weathering Project, has also had an article detailing the student involvement with the project accepted for publication in a scientific journal to be released in January 2006.

Join me on my quest to reclaim my office and save some trees as I attempt to eliminate as much genealogy paper clutter as I can from my office.

Paperless Genealogy - Status Update
A few key updates to mention:
1) (this is mostly for my wife if she stumbles across this blog :) My paperless journey started with genealogy because that's where the bulk of my papers come from. I do continue to have paper in and around my desk, but FAR less than before. Once we get the genealogy system ironed out, other things will fall in place. For now though, I will still have some work papers floating around, a few emails I've printed off and of course, my most favoritest paper... bills.
2) I have had great progress on the genealogy front. In the past serveral weeks I have printed only 4 new papers, despite working on a new 30 page section on our family history for Christmas gifts. In past years, when taking on a project like this, I type, print, edit the hardcopy, make changes, reprint, etc. This year, I've taken a new approach. Using One Note, I write a paragraph at a time in a "block." I can easily treat each paragraph as it's own entity and move it around at will until it fits the story just right. For a particularly difficult passage, I have found it helps to add a new page and look at that section on it's own without anything else distracting me.
3) (this is mostly for my wife if she stumbles across this blog :) I'm still hoping for a FlipPal scanner for Christmas. I see great progress in my future with the Flip Pal in my life. Just Sayin'...
So, the obvious question on everyone's mind (everyone that cares, that is) is... "After annoncing to the world a little over 2 months ago that you were going paperless, is there any significant change? Is it working? Are you sticking to it?"
I am sticking to it. It is working, and yes, I do notice a change. Besides the obvious lack of a stack of papers on my desk, the bookshelf I had to add to my office a few months ago to give me more room to stack things on is slowly becoming a little more bare, and A LOT more organized. It can be done. But it is (Honey, are you reading this?) a marathon and not a sprint to the finish line...

I have never in my life printed out an email. That's an easy thing to cut out right there!ReplyDelete
I have also started on my goal to go more-or-less paperless. My main issue is post-its. I've signed up on linoit.com and haven't decided yet if it's the system for me to replace my many scraps of paper. We'll see!
Happy holidays!
Awesome news. You'll have to keep me updated on your progress to. Post Its were a big one for me as well,but they pretty much disappeared with the Windows7 Sticky Notes app. They are easy enough to puch to the background and pull up in my face if I need them, so that has been one of the easier things for me.ReplyDelete
Really, when it comes down to it, its all about personal preferences, I guess. Emails are work related and our system automatically purges emails after 30 days, so sometimes... when I'm paranoid, I print something off, "just in case" (Now, don't ask me if I ever actually use those, because the times are too few and far between to really be worth my time, but it's a habit I'll need to get myself out of at some point.
While I haven't made any pledges, your blog has prompted me to think more about whether I really have to print something...ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas!

The papal conclave — the election to select the next Pope— begins tomorrow, and the entire world will be watching to see if white smoke comes out of the chimney (Pope found!) or black smoke comes out (no Pope).
People expected the process to take a handful of days.
What's the worst that could possibly happen?
For that, take a look back to the 13th century, when a papal conclave took two years and three months.
The deliberation began in 1268, when Catholic cardinals met in the village of Viterbo — far away from Rome's squalor and diseases — to select a new Pope.
Monsignor Charles Burns, a retired archivist at the Secret Vatican Archives, told ABC News in 2005 that the villagers soon grew angry at how long the process was taking (there was a split between French and Italian factions), and locked the cardinals in a nearby palace (the term "conclave" actually refers to this — it means "with a key").
"The people of Viterbo were so annoyed by this, they said, "OK, we are going to close the cardinals in,' " Burns explained.
In the end, the process went on so long that the villagers tried to stave the cardinals into making a decision, giving them only bread and water. They even tore the roof off the palace in a bid to expose the cardinals to the elements — you can still see tha roof-less palace today:
Eventually the cardinals agreed to a compromise candidate, but there was a final act of obstination — they chose Gregory X, a man who was neither a cardinal or even a priest, as Pope. Gregory, an Italian born as Teobaldo Visconti, was away fighting the crusades. It took 8 months to return.
Of course, it's unlikely that this year's papal conclave will take anywhere near as long — in the 20th century, the longest conclave was just five days. New rules have also been introduced that allow simple majority voting (rather than two-thirds majorities) if a Pope hasn't been found after 12 or 13 days.
However, the conclave of 1268-1271 does have a legacy — don't let the cardinals get too cozy. Gregory decreed in 1274 that Cardinals would only get one meal a day if the conclave went beyond three days, and just bread, water and wine if it went beyond eight, and until recently the cardinals slept inside the Sistene Chapel. Even today, the Vatican's hotel is notably modest.

Hi, My bird and I are currently travelling Thailand and are looking for any advice or tips on where to go this time of year for good wind and real budget accommodation. We have been looking at Pran Buri but can not seem to find any budget style rooms, only ones for higher prices then we want.
We have are own kite and harness but no board so this means we have to be around rental sites. Plus we are both still learning so to be next to/near to a kite school would be great so we can maybe get another hours tuition.
Anyways any help or tips on this would be great.
Cheers, Toby

In the new era, just 20 years from now, nearly 14 billion pounds of aluminum from new 2015 Ford F-150 trucks will flood auto recycling facilities, and if things work out right, aluminum prices will never be the same again.
The era of large-scale aluminum automobile manufacturing is coming, and it's going to have national—and global—implications. Here's what to expect.

At least 19 killed as rebels, soldiers clash in Colombia
- At least 19 soldiers were killed over
the weekend in separate clashes with rebels
in Colombia, the country's president said.
President Juan Manuel Santos reported
attacks by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia, commonly known as the FARC, in
Arauca and Caqueta.
In the department of Arauca, which borders
Venezuela, rebels ambushed a group of
soldiers guarding an oil pipeline. Fifteen
soldiers were killed and 12 rebels were
captured, Santos said.
Another four soldiers were killed in Caqueta,
which is a department in the south of the
"The instructions to our forces are as follows:
Don't stop shooting, even for an instant until
we reach the end of the conflict," the
president said, according to his office.
Santos vowed operations will continue until
those responsible are held to account.
The violence comes amid peace talks
between the government and the FARC. The
two sides have been at war since the 1960s.
Santos has said he wants talks, which started
last year and are taking place in Cuba,
wrapped up by November.
There have been sporadic attempts at peace
in the past.
The last effort fell apart in 2002. Then-
President Andres Pastrana ceded an area the
size of Switzerland to the guerrilla group, but
he ended negotiations after rebels launched
a series of attacks across the country in an
apparent bid to strengthen their position.

If you walk along the Passeig de Gràcia boulevard you can't miss it: the colourful façade of Casa Batlló. The building's frontage invites closer inspection. With its playful round windows and scaly roof, it has the aura of a fairytale castle. Its shapes and lines immediately reveal the identity of its creator: Antoni Gaudí, Barcelona's most celebrated modernistic architect.
The house is named after its former owner, Josep Batlló y Casanovas, a rich textile magnate who commissioned Gaudí to renovate his home in 1904. The architect allowed his imagination to run wild and announced that he would create a paradise on earth. 2 years later, Casa Batlló had an extra floor and that wonderful façade. Significant changes were also made to the interior. There is hardly a straight line to be seen; Gaudí avoided these as much as possible in his designs. And Señor Batlló got exactly what he wanted: a remarkable house.
With a little imagination, it looks like a giant reptile has landed on Casa Batlló's roof. Gaudí could have been depicting the legend of Saint George and the dragon. The tower with its cross may have represented the sword with which George killed the beast. Whereas the skulls on the façade recall the victims of the murderous dragon. Another explanation is that the exterior symbolises the spirit of carnival. In this interpretation, the roof represents a jester's hat, the balconies are masks and the mosaic could be confetti.
Casa Batlló's roof is just one of several noteworthy features along the boulevard. This block on the Passeig de Gràcia is home to several modernistic houses from the same period, including those by architects Lluís Domènech i Montaner and Josep Puig i Cadafalch. Barcelonans joke about the 'Illa de la Discòrdia', which loosely translates as 'The Housing Block with a Twist' and refers to the competition that existed between architects along this street.
Casa Batlló has good reason to be described as a legendary building. Anyone who sees its exuberant exterior alone would be hard pressed to recognise it as a residential building. For this reason, the interior is also well worth seeing. Make good use of the long opening hours (from 9:00 to 21:00 with entry permitted until 20:00). Try to arrive at sunset, when the light passing through the shell-shaped skylights creates a mysterious atmosphere. Be sure to visit Señor Batlló's study and the festejador, a romantic spot by the carved fireplace where lovers can retreat.

"In the Time of the Butterflies" is presented as part of the 2012-2013 Global Film Series and was inspired by the true story of three sisters who were murdered for their part in an underground plot to overthrow a corrupt dictator and government in the Dominican Republic in 1960.
Pre and/or post-discussion of the film will be led by JoAnn Chirico, Beaver campus senior instructor in sociology.

Saltalamacchia Catching On With Red Sox
May 30, 2012 Leave a comment
It's not an easy thing to replace a captain of 7 years on a professional sports team. A guy like Jason Varitek, a rock for the organization and team leader from 1997-2011, is hard to replicate. In particular in this era in major league baseball versatile catchers who contain top notch leadership skills are hard to come by. It almost mirrors the old adage in the NFL that franchise quarterbacks are nearly impossible to find and you should savior them while you have one. Varitek's career started to dwindle a few seasons ago and the Sox even brought in a big name, former Indians catcher Victor Martinez, to split time with him. When Martinez was allowed to walk in free agency a year and a half after he was acquired it was back to the drawing board for the Red Sox.
Enter Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Salty was acquired at the trade deadline during the 2010 season for spare parts and was placed in Pawtucket for the remainder of the year. Salty was a big prospect coming up with Atlanta but hit a wall in Texas after he was acquired in a trade that sent Mark Teixeira packing. Saltalamacchia was stuck in the minors and couldn't even throw the ball to second base accurately when the Sox picked him up. At the end of the year when Martinez walked to Detroit the Red Sox gave Saltalamacchia the keys to the car to at least share with Varitek for a year. Many thought that a year playing with Jason Varitek would be vital. Although he wasn't the same player physically that he once was he had not lost anything mentally and could be a wealth of knowledge for a young guy playing under him. It seems that those thoughts are coming to fruition.
Salty had a decent enough line last season splitting with Varitek. He tailed off at the end of the season but his .235/.288/.450 line wasn't horrible for a part time catcher. He added a career high 16 home runs and 56 RBI. He had a 31% caught stealing rate which was excellent considering how poorly the Red Sox pitchers held runners on. People worried that when Varitek retired Salty would have trouble progressing without him but Salty is proving early in the season that one season may have been enough with Varitek. Saltalamacchia looks like a much more confident player out there on the field this year. He seems to have taken on Varitek's role of team leader particularly with the young pitchers that he works with.
His offense has improved so far this year. His .274/.311/.573 line with 9 home runs and 22 RBI make him a prime candidate for the American League All-Star team. Only J.P. Arencibia of the Blue Jays has as many home runs as Saltalamacchia out of all American League catchers (not counting Mike Napoli who plays 3 different positions). Of catchers in the American League with at least 100 plate appearances only A.J. Pierzynski and Joe Mauer have a higher batting average. The improved play is contributed by his heightened confidence. He may well break down again before the end of the season but he should be more used to the long season after finally going through it for the first time in two seasons last year.
Saltalamacchia showed everyone how much of a leader he had become in a 10 day stretch that started a few weeks ago in Tampa. He was hit in the ear with a foul ball and suffered a gash that required 12 stitches. Salty convinced manager Bobby Valentine to start him the next day in Philly and proceeded to hit a home run in the game. He hit another one that weekend in Philly that was the 3rd longest home run of the season. The following weekend when Tampa Bay came to Boston a brawl nearly broke out in the 9th inning when Sox pitcher Franklin Morales hit Rays slugger/big mouth Luke Scott in the leg. When Scott started walking towards the mound Salty rudely cut him off with a bump of his chest guard. The next night Salty came in the to 9th inning as a pinch hitter with the Sox down a run and promptly hit a game-winning walk-off home run against Rays' closer Fernando Rodney who had not blown a save all year long. It was reminiscent of Jason Varitek's stand up to Alex Rodriguez and the subsequent game winning home run by Bill Mueller except this time Salty handled it all himself.
It's rather amusing that for years Theo Epstein seemed to be trying to find a catcher to replace Jason Varitek. He finally did in a throwaway trade at the deadline in '10. He took a shot in the dark with Saltalamacchia and Salty is looking to pay back the favor by becoming the player that the Red Sox didn't seem to have. In a few years Saltalamacchia will likely be joined by prospect Ryan Lavarnway to create a formidable catching duo. Salty will have to quickly turn around the knowledge bestowed on him by Varitek to teach Lavarnway how to become a player and a leader. If the start of this year is any indication then Salty should have his Varitek impression down pat by then.

Is Obesity Contagious?
Recent studies have shown we tend to eat more when the people around us do. But new research with mice takes that one further, revealing obesity may actually be contagious.
In the study, published online Feb. 1 in the journal Nature, mice engineered to have a particular immune deficiency predictably developed fatty liver disease and got heavier when fed a Western-style diet. But when those mice were put in the same cage as healthy mice, the healthy mice got fatter too, and even started to come down with symptoms of liver disease.
Researcher Richard Flavell, a professor of immunobiology at Yale School of Medicine, said stomach microbes could be to blame. When the mice's immune systems were disturbed, their gut bacteria was also thrown for a loop — in fact, Flavell said the study showed the number of "bad," disease-associated bacteria increased 1,000-fold in mice with immune problems.
He told LiveScience it was these bad bacteria that made their way from mouse to mouse, leading the healthy mice to experience changes in their microbes — which in turn made them fat.
But does the same thing happen in people?
Flavell said more research is needed to find out, especially because one way the mice transmitted bacteria back and forth was by eating each others feces — something humans don't tend to do.
But since fatty liver disease is very common among the obese, affecting 75 percent to 100 percent of that population, Flavell said if further studies show his findings apply to people, it may suggest that approaches to obesity and fatty liver disease should address gut microorganisms, perhaps using antibiotics or probiotics in addition to traditional treatments.

Men's volleyball clinches 29th EIVA title
Men's volleyball clinches 29th EIVA title
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The 12th-ranked Penn State men's volleyball team (18-6) clinched its 29th EIVA/ECVL Championship title. Penn State will host the 2013 EIVA Tournament as the No. 1 seed on April 25 and 27.
Penn State had earned at least a share of the EIVA title after defeating Princeton and George Mason on March 29-30 to improve to 11-1 in the league. An outright claim on the title would require another EIVA win by the Nittany Lions or a Harvard loss. George Mason dealt Harvard a 3-1 loss on Saturday, April 6 to give Penn State its 29th conference crown since 1976. This is the 18th time under head coach Mark Pavlik that the Nittany Lions have won the regular season title.
The Nittany Lions look to win their 25th EIVA Championship on April 25 and 27 when they host the EIVA Semifinals and Championship at Rec Hall. Joining Penn State in the tournament are George Mason, Princeton and Harvard. The winner of the EIVA Championship earns an automatic berth in the 2013 NCAA National Collegiate Men's Volleyball Tournament at UCLA on May 2 and 4.
Penn State heads to Irvine, Calif. on April 12-13 to challenge Concordia and UC Irvine. Following their trip out west, the Nittany Lions host EIVA foes Rutgers-Newark and NJIT on April 19-20. Both matches are scheduled for 5:30 p.m. starts in the South Gym of Rec Hall.

It's Bad, But Huset's Owner Vows The Track Remains Open For Racing
Huset's Speedway South of Brandon, is not enjoying what was to be a special season. The owners were set to have a memorable year promoting the track's 60th anniversary season.
There were plans in place for special events to center around the rich history of this famous racing facility. On the contrary, 2014 has been a disaster so far.
Five of the eight scheduled events have been cancelled due to weather related issues. Most recently the Father's Day special due to flooding from the weekend rain.
Then on Monday heavy rain caused the adjacent river to flood over. And now the track is under water. Is Huset's done? That's what some are thinking.
The official answer is NO. Huset's is not done. It will stay open for action. That's according to track owner Steve Rubin, who says the target is Sunday to be racing.
It's bad, but he's seen worse in 1993. And in that season the track stayed in operation.
The Rubin family, now in their 27th year of owning the track, is working around the clock so the gates can open.
