Elvis Costello
Tony Clayton-Lea writes about the enigmatic Elvis Costello, whose life as a singer/songwriter, composer and actor is still a work in progress. Elvis was born Declan MacManus in 1954 in London. His father Ross MacManus was a big band singer. Elvis got his start in the early 70's but it wasn't until 1977 that he recorded his own material under the name Elvis Costello.

Moulders, you're my favourite. <3
I love drinking stories! I'm a ridiculous light weight and I don't know how to fix it. I think part of it is due to my ears, I get vertigo really easy so if I drink too much more after I get the initial buzz and Ivlir down the room starts spinning.On rare occasions I can drink quite a lot. Or at least to me it seems like a lot.
Man, I want to go to England some day. It seems so shiny over there. Of course, that's what I thought about LA before I moved here. At least the UK doesn't have Hollywood expectations.
Haha, yeah. I had friends online that I would talk to every day for years but now nothing. Sometimes I get in touch with them and find I really don't have much to say which is depressing. I have them all on fb which is partly to blame, I think. The other part is life just goes on and life tends to be quit habitual and boring if you let it be and people tend to spend more time with irl folks.
Glad you enjoy my writing. n.n And thats just from the past two years. Earlier parts of my life have been real, well, not awful could've been worse but they were quit lonely and depressing. At least I never got beat up or was never homeless. Silver linings and all that.

|This page documents the Official Policy of the GTA Wiki. It concerns standards that all users should follow.
On GTA Wiki, articles are deleted through two systems:
The first is for articles with absolutely no value whatsoever, created only for vandalism, such as those about abusive topics. Entirely abusive articles (that are NOT edited versions of good articles) should be tagged with {{delete}} by Editors, so that Staff can easily find them and delete them. Tagging articles in that way assigns the article to Category:Delete so that they may easily be found.
The second system is for articles with little to no value. If an article is off-topic (e.g. Robbie Williams), too specific (e.g. Bus Stops in Vice City) or simply advertising a product/service/company (e.g. ShamWow!), then it should be tagged with {{prod}} which is proposed deletion. The deletion of PRODded pages should be discussed before action is taken, unless Staff find it to violate specific policy (at which point it can just be deleted). Pages with the prod template also show up in Category:Delete.
Deletion and Cleanup Templates
|Proposed Deletion - This page is probably useless, and administrators should consider deleting it. Members have a chance to respond on the Talk page.
|Speedy Deletion - This page is useless, and should be deleted. There won't be any disputes over this, and an administrator can just delete it if they agree.

White Chocolate Easter Basket
This chocolate clay basket from our Test Kitchen makes a great centerpiece when filled with Easter candy.
Total TimePrep: 1-1/2 hours + standing
Makes1 basket
- 20 ounces white candy coating, coarsely chopped
- 2/3 cup light corn syrup
- 10 ounces white candy coating, coarsely chopped
- 13 pretzel sticks (3 inches)
- Round plastic cover (about 4-1/2 inches in diameter)
- Thin wire headband or 1 piece 1/8-inch-thick wire (about 15 inches long)
- Thin ribbon, optional
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 20-oz. candy coating; stir until smooth. Stir in corn syrup just until blended. Spread onto a sheet of waxed paper to 3/8-in. thickness (about a 16-in. x 8-in. rectangle). Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature for 2 hours or until dry to the touch. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap; let stand overnight. Use immediately or store for up to 2 weeks.
- Melt 10-oz. candy coating; stir until smooth. Completely coat pretzel sticks; place on a wire rack. Chill for 10 minutes. Set remaining melted coating aside.
- Be certain plastic cover is clean and dry. Place two dampened paper towels in the bottom of a 1-1/2-qt. bowl. Position cover on the towels (to hold it in place). Place ends of the candy-coated pretzels around outer edge of cover, resting the other ends against the side of the bowl to form the supports for basket sides.
- Spoon some of the reserved candy coating into plastic cover until it is 1/8 in. from the top and surrounds all of the pretzels. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Remove from the bowl and discard paper towels. Carefully loosen edges of plastic cover and remove. Set base on waxed paper.
- Knead a 1-in. ball of chocolate clay until pliable but not sticky. Roll into a 1/4-in. rope. Beginning on the inside of a pretzel, loosely weave rope around pretzels. Repeat, adding the next rope by overlapping slightly and pressing ends together. (Always end one rope and begin the next on the inside of a pretzel.) Continue to weave between pretzels until the top of the pretzels is reached, ending the last rope on the inside of a pretzel.
- Make three ropes about 20 in. long; braid and set aside. Remelt reserved coating; place a drop on the top of each pretzel. Lay braided ropes on top, blending the ends to create a finished edge. If pretzels break, "reglue" with melted coating.
- For basket handle, make one rope about 15 in. long. Push headband into rope to within 1 in. of each end; mold rope around headband to cover. Insert uncovered ends of headband into top braid of basket. Decorate with ribbon if desired.

This is way too complicated. The explanation to it is very poor. Too bad, seemed interesting..
Apr 18, 2011
The directions were horrible and way to vague for something like this. I would suggest more detail in your directions. I figured out most of the recipe based on trial and error, but it was incredibly frustrating.
Apr 15, 2011
You should tell people what "white candy coating" is and maybe where to get it. Is that those little discs of fake chocolate?

With the demise of NASA's shuttle program, one of the best ways to get to space today is a $63 million seat on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Show the Cosmonauts how happy you are to come aboard by arriving to the launchpad wearing this beautiful vintage watch, which celebrates the achievements of the Soviet space program.
This fine 1979 timepiece is available at Bureau of Trade for $70. The watch is known as "Lunokhod," which means "moon walker." The Russians might be touchy about the fact that their countrymen have never successfully set foot on the lunar surface. Try to steer the conversation toward that other Moonwalker, Michael Jackson. Or, just use the watch as a stylish way to count down the seconds until you can catch a ride on SpaceX instead.

Expose yourself to the natural elements during Great Outdoors Month
What's your sign?
Summer's water sign, Cancer, is mine. I share it with Free Will Astrology writer Rob Breszny, who has been inspiring you these 20 years with his insights into how our birth links us in the great chain of being. I wish I'd counted the number of readers who've told me over the years they got into Bay Weekly because of Breszny. Even better are stories of how he's guided readers' lives.
I proofread the column each week, so I read all 12 signs, and you've told me I'm not alone. Witty and maybe wise, Breszny's weekly essays make good reading. But I often feel Cancer gets the most righteous and dutiful advice, as if Breszny is talking to himself as well as avoiding favoritism. So whatever horoscope I like, I take for myself, assuming astrology is a study inexact enough to allow a bit of free will.
This week I'm inspired by Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22), the autumnal air sign. Here's what Breszny has to say:
Studies show that people spend 87 percent of their time inside buildings and six percent in enclosed vehicles. In other words, they are roaming around outside enjoying the wind and sky and weather for only seven percent of their time. I think you're going to have to do better than that in the coming week, Libra. To ensure your mental hygiene stays robust, you should try to expose yourself to the natural elements at least nine percent of the time. If you manage to hike that rate up to 10 percent or higher, you stand a good chance of achieving a spiritual epiphany that will fuel you for months.
That perfectly timed advice is good for us all. Dear reader, it's time for you and me to switch our allegiance to the sign of Libra. In fact, it's our duty as patriotic Marylanders.
June is Great Outdoors Month by proclamation of Gov. Martin O'Malley, and surely we can agree in bipartisan consensus that there's no month more deserving of such a designation. What's more, Maryland Outdoors Days run from June 8 to 22.
I'm rising to that challenge, accepting that invitation, climbing aboard that bandwagon.
In honor of those days, I'm coming to work late and leaving early not only June 8 to 22 but the whole month of June; maybe the rest of the summer, as well. All those delicious extra hours I'm devoting to being outdoors. Breszny's 10 percent and spiritual epiphany is my goal.
During working hours, in the heat of the day, I'll be filling Bay Weekly pages with outdoors attractions. I enlisted writer Michelle Steel to begin Great Outdoors Month by guiding you to Chesapeake beaches in Anne Arundel and Calvert counties. Dennis Doyle has you on the water too, as usual, devoting this week's Sporting Life to advice on catching rockfish in early June.
In earth, Bay Gardener Frank Gouin, now home and speedily recovering from his unplanned ladder descent, is urging you outdoors to prune and to give your poison ivy a taste of its own medicine. If you prefer other people's gardens, join Eastport's Home and Garden Tour this Sunday.
Alex Knoll takes you outdoors, as well, to see June's short-night planets.
You'll find many more choices in our Summer Guide supplement (if you don't have yours yet, you'll have to stop by our office) regularly refreshed by 8 Days a Week.
With those resources at hand, I've already filled my outdoors calendar for the week of June 6 to 13. Many days, I'm torn between two or six possibilities. Other days I'm reserving for personal outdoors time.
• Thursday, June 6: Discovery Kayaking on the West River.
• Friday, June 7: First Free Friday at Calvert Marine. Museum or Jazz in the Garden at Greenstreet Garden.
• Saturday, June 8: Boating on the Bay followed by Star Gazing at Jefferson Patterson Park.
• Sunday, June 9: Bernie Fowler's Patuxent River Wade-in and Eastport Home and Garden Tour by day, followed by Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre by night.
• Monday, June 10: Beachcombing before work and gardening after.
• Tuesday, June 11: Getting cool in the pool, followed by dinner al fresco on our boat.
• Wednesday, June 12: Music under the Bandshell at Chesapeake Beach Resort and Spa.
• Thursday, June 12: Orchid Hike at Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.
I hope you'll join me in filling your outdoor calendar from our pages. See you in the natural elements!

NYRA and the state were involved in a long dispute over who owned the properties, which was resolved last year under a franchise agreement that extended NYRA's franchise for 25 years in exchange for the state taking undisputed title to NYRA's three racetracks, Aqueduct, Belmont, and Saratoga. NYRA retained title to the vacant land surrounding Aqueduct.
The properties, touted by the auctioneer as "prime development" opportunities, are located on 17.5 acres of land between the Belt Parkway and Aqueduct Racetrack and range from 2,000 to 75,000 square feet. The lots can be purchased separately or in groups, according the auctioneer's website www.maltzauctions.com
The lots are zoned R-4, which allows for detached, semi-detached, and attached housing, including row houses and multiple-unit buildings.
State Senator Joseph Addabbo said he was determined to seek as much information as possible for the community from NYRA and Governor David Paterson's office regarding the pending sale of vacant land around the racetrack.
He added that it is important to deal now with the land sale situation carefully, since the residents of the surrounding community will have to live with whatever is built there.
NYRA Chief Administrative Officer Jack Ryan said the association has been interested in selling these properties for several years. He added that the Ozone Howard Little League field in Centerville would not be included in the sale.
In March of 2008, as NYRA emerged from bankruptcy, Judge James Peck said the horse racing association may hold auctions to individually sell 64 parcels of land that have a total worth, according to media reports, in the range of $15 to $20 million.
The funds are expected to be put toward paying NYRA's creditors, including back New York State taxes of $1.4 million and an Internal Revenue Service debt estimated to be just under $25 million.
News of the auction came as a complete surprise to the residents of the Ozone Park community where the vacant land is located.
Residents whose homes abut the empty lots said they first became aware of the upcoming sale when they received a letter dated March 25 from Richard B. Maltz, vice president of the Real Estate Auction Division of David R. Maltz & Co., Inc.
Maltz's letter began, "As you may be aware, NYRA Inc. owns the vacant land that adjoins your property. At this time we must inform you that NYRA has decided to liquidate certain assets that are not part of its core business strategy. Every parcel must go!"
The letter also advised the homeowners that if they had any structures, fences, or pools on the property, or if they were using the property for storage, they must immediately remove any items.
"You are welcome and encouraged to participate in the auction and to purchase the property," Maltz concluded, advising the homeowners that any questions regarding the purchase of the property should be directed to his office at (516) 349-7022.
A resident of Huron Street in Centerville, who gave his name only as George, said that he and his neighbors were concerned that a developer would purchase the land and build row houses on it.
He added that the area was already congested with traffic and has no sewers, so it floods when it rains. He said that construction of these additional homes would just create more problems for the residents. George felt that he should be given preference in bidding for the vacant land adjacent to his home, or that in the alternative it should be turned into a community garden.
Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer, whose district includes Aqueduct Racetrack, has vowed to closely monitor NYRA's public auction of its properties located outside the racetrack.
In a statement released on Monday, Pheffer said that she, along with other local officials, will be meeting shortly with NYRA and the auction company representatives to clarify the details of the June sale.
"It is important that the process be conducted in an open manner, whereby local residents know exactly what to expect," said Pheffer.
Pheffer noted that the Bankruptcy Court's order mandates that the first $9 million of the land sales profit will go to pay the Internal Revenue Service then will be utilized to provide needed capital improvements at Aqueduct, with the remainder paying off NYRA's debt to New York State.
Pheffer said all of the properties are subject to existing zoning restrictions, meaning that any new building must be similar to surrounding homes.

The SHIP program is an unparalleled opportunity for undergraduates to get involved in the research community, get a head start on graduate school, and to compete for awards, fellowships and admission to top PhD programs. SHIP students and faculty will meet frequently for formal and informal discussions and seminars, and SHIP students will be given access to research faculty in every discipline.
SHIP students may travel to national and international meetings and present their research. The experience culminates as a research paper, suitable for publication, that will constitute the student's undergraduate thesis.
SHIP has been funded by generous grants from Merck and Roche and we gratefully acknowledge their support on behalf of the future of our students and the STEM disciplines.

The recent heated race for the Democratic Presidential nomination seems to have put politics on the forefront of many gamers minds. Historically, video games and politics havent mixed well, with the pastime becoming the favorite scapegoat of many politicians.
As with virtually every other form of media that has come before it, video games found themselves in a struggle to avoid censorship and to enlighten the masses of their true potential. With all the abuse video games have taken from politicians over the years, Gamecocks latest release instantly brings the phrase turnabout is fair play to mind. Hail to the Chimp seemingly strikes back against these numerous injustices by making a mockery of the presidential election process. This game is completely overflowing with political satire, which is displayed in everything from its over-the-top characters to its ridiculous mini-games objectives. While the quality of the included jokes and puns can vary greatly, the majority are actually quite amusing. Even the menu screen attempts to keep you laughing, with the CNN-spoofing GRR news program constantly providing you with comical commercials and news segments.
Unfortunately, once you get past this satirical comedy, what you are left with isnt all that appealing. Hail to the Chimp is a limited compilation of mini-games that are all loosely based on different aspects of getting votes. These mini-games will have you doing everything from winning favor by smearing your competitors with negative headlines to collecting campaign funds from fat cats (literally). While there are over a dozen different mini-games to choose from, eventually the painful realization sets in that they are all essentially the same.
Apparently, in the world of Hail to the Chimp, clams somehow play a major role in choosing a president. Although each mini-games gives you a slightly different reason for doing so, collecting clams will be your main objective in every outing. These clams are the ultimate currency in this game, being used for everything including stuffing ballot boxes, purchasing campaign contributions, and even as your health. Any time you run out of clams your character becomes incredibly fragile, only requiring one hit to kill. Thankfully, clams arent very difficult to come by and will continue to appear throughout matches; even if there are no clams to be found on the ground, players can always find more by beating them out of their opponents.
Sadly, the actual mechanics involved in playing this game are just as limited as its objectives. Players are only able to move, jump, attack, interact with a few objects, and team up with an opponent. Attacks are incredibly basic and become increasingly more difficult to time properly. Early in the game you will have no problems beating your enemies senseless, but later on it seems as though your foes attacks always land first. This becomes immensely frustrating very quickly, since there is really no way to avoid combat. Object interaction is also fairly limited and is usually just a means to exchange your collected clams towards your current objective.
Teaming up with enemies can sometimes prove to be tricky but is often rather helpful. Players will need to press a button to declare they are interested in teaming up and then get within close proximity of another player. That player can then either accept your invitation or simply just attack you for trying. There are a few different versions of team attacks, but instead of being able to choose the one that would best suit your current situation, the game will just randomly choose one for you. However, the benefits of team attacks far outweigh these issues, as they are virtually unstoppable once initiated and can quickly turn the tide of almost any game.

About a week ago I wanted to listen to some of the lectures. None of the available links worked.
The i-cog.com site for one of the lectures was up, but nothing's there to download. The "plz.rewt.me" site, that is, bren2010.dyndns.org, isn't even up.
Anyone able to hook me up with a ge.tt share or whatever?

On Friday, a user on the Flamehaus forums uploaded a very convincing pdf, complete with accompanying photo, of a new book called Valve: Handbook For New Employees.
Joining the pdf is an apparent email from Valve's Greg Coomer, saying it was written to "make it as easy as we could for new people to join the company".
If you have any interest in Valve as a company at all - and as not only the developers of the Half-Life and Portal series but the overlords of digital shopfront Steam, you probably should - it's a must-read.
The company has a reputation as a workplace unlike many others in this business, and if this thing is real, it's a reputation well-deserved.
It also has a reputation as being home to some genuinely funny human beings. Again, if this thing is real, it's a reputation well-deserved.
Come for the illuminating text. Stay for the awesome illustrations!
You can read the entire thing in the embedded window below (or for more optimal viewing click on the little black arrow saying "open in new window").
We've contacted Valve for confirmation of the book's authenticity, and will update if we hear back.
UPDATE - The handbook is indeed official, and is now available for viewing on Valve's website.

…how grown up this child is looking these days!

It's scary…

Life saver…
After coming off my happy pills back at the beginning of this year, I think I've adjusted fairly well. No major issues to speak of, but, I have noticed a tad bit of anxiety, as of late.
Rationally, I know much of it is my new schedule, and the stress of school, but, some of the anxiety was manifesting over little shit.
Like cups.
Not just one cup…I'm talking no less than 20 cups, that would be on my kitchen counter by the end of every day.
I SWEAR it seems that my children get a new cup, for every fucking sip of water they ingest! They must, for that is what the evidence shows at the end of every day, when my dishwasher is filled to the brim with a myriad of cups from around the globe.
Some from Dickies barbecue down the street, in all shapes and sizes. Kids cups from Chili's. Cups from Fuzzy's taco stand. Cups from Bourbon street that's original purpose was not for milk. Cups from a Cowboy's game back in 2002. Cups from Chuck E. Cheese. My favorite cups from Rudy's barbecue that we collect on our trips to Austin.
All of them would be strewn across the counter by nightfall. While I did, just a smidge, appreciate the nostalgia of it all, the daily plastic trip down memory lane…mostly it boiled my blood.
I would rant and rave like a lunatic, day in, and day out…"ONE CUP…ONE CUP…YOU ONLY NEED ONE CUP FOR A DAY. MAYBE TWO DAYS. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SANE AND HOLY…ONE FLIPPIN' CUP PER PERSON! THAT'S FIVE CUPS…I JUST PICKED UP THIRTY-FREAKIN-SEVEN CUPS!! WORK WITH ME PEOPLE!!"
They would listen to me wide-eyed, nod in agreement, and go get a cup out of the cupboard and get a drink of water.
On top of it all…the fights that would break out over one of the any given 37 cups that were on the counter.
"MOOOOOOOOO-OM. He just drank out of my cup!"
"NO I DIDN'T! The little Dickie's cup is mine. Yours is the big one."
"NU-UH!! Ave's is the Fuzzy's cup, YOURS is the big Dickies cup!"
This would go on for seemingly hours. These cups were causing chaos, and I was at my breaking point. I had to do something to save my sanity. So, I bought these…
Color coded cups. Jack is red. Ave is blue. Lil is purple. There are only two of each. While one is washing, the other is being used.
No more fights. No more fusses. No more eighty seven cups on my counter each night. Now, there are only these three. These three aesthetically pleasing cups.
I'm an idiot for not thinking of it sooner…it's just that no one tells you that you're at risk for offin' yourself over plastic flippin' cups, when you become a mom!

Back in the runnin'…
It looks like I might be back in the running for Mother of the Year for 2010. After today, in fact, I'm in pretty good standing.
Jake was working from home today, so we went out to lunch. A friend that Jake plays ball with happened to be there with his wife, so we sat at the bar with them, on a Thursday afternoon, and kicked back a couple.
That doesn't exactly put me in the running, but, this next part does…
Jake's phone rang and I noticed that it was the school. Immediately thinking that one of my heathen boys were into trouble, I answered the call.
It was actually Lily's teacher. Calling for our scheduled phone conference. That I'd forgotten about. Caught off guard, and pretending that I hadn't forgotten about our appointment, I chatted with Lily's teacher.
When I hung up, it dawned on me that I'd just had a parent/teacher conference AT A BAR!
At a FREAKIN' BAR!!
I should start working on my acceptance speech now!!

I don't care who ya are…
A big box of rubber penises is funny!
You can dress me up like a nurse, give me a stethoscope, teach me to auscultate, percuss, assess, and administer a transdermal injection…but, if you do it with a giant box of penises on the shelf behind you, I can promise you I'm gonna laugh!
Don't think you're above it, until you try concentrating on a lab demonstration with 50 glans penises of various shades staring back at you!!
It's officially hopeless…I'm never growing up!

We pulled the trigger…
We got a new pup. The gaping hole that was left in our lives when Tucker the Fucker ran away could only be filled by another weenie dog. Or some sappy shit like that.
The name started out as a joke. While we were thinking of great names like Capone, Pacino, and Mugsy, we joked that we should call him Joben, from this scene in "I Love You Man."
We laughed about it, and started calling him Jobes, Jobey, and Joben on his first day with us. The name stuck and began to grow on us.
Now, it's official! His name is Joben, and we love him!

Full Game Notes (.pdf)
The Particulars
In its first action back from winter break, the Crimson returns to ECAC Hockey play with road games against Union and Rensselaer. Harvard is coming off a stretch of five non-league games, four against nationally-ranked opponents, where it collected a hard-earned road win at New Hampshire Dec. 9.
Series History
In 14 all-time matchups, Harvard has never lost to Union, collecting wins in every meeting starting in 2003-04. The Crimson has outscored the Dutchwomen 93-3 in the all-time series and has recorded 11 shutouts. Last season, Harvard blanked Union, 4-0, at Bright Hockey Center and edged the Dutchwomen, 2-1, in Schenectady in the closest game ever between the two teams.
The Harvard-Rensselaer series is relatively young, with the Crimson holding a 5-3-1 series edge over the Engineers. The teams first played during the 2006-07 season and Harvard went 5-0-1 in the first six meetings. The past three meetings have gone to RPI and two of those games were decided in overtime. Last year, the Engineers skated to a 4-2 win at Bright and then edged the Crimson, 3-2 in overtime, in Troy.
Last Time Out
Despite coming back from a two-goal deficit to tie the game at 2-2, Harvard could not stop Boston University from exploding for two quick goals within 30 seconds of each other and dropped a 5-3 decision to the Terriers Dec. 10 at Bright Hockey Center.
Down 2-1, the Crimson quickly tied the game 2:24 into the third period on Liza Ryabkina's (Kharkiv, Ukraine) second goal of the night. Ryabkina unleashed a heavy one-timer off a Leanna Coskren (Walpole, Mass.) shot for the equalizer, Ryabkina's sixth of the season. Josephine Pucci (Pearl River, N.Y.) also assisted on the score.
With 00.3 showing on the clock, Katharine Chute (Wayzata, Minn.) put an extra goal on the board for the Crimson, assisted by Whitney Kennedy (Mississauga, Ont.) and Alisa Baumgartner (West Vancouver, B.C.), to bring the final score to 5-3. Harvard held a 13-7 shot advantage in the final stanza.
Keep 'Em Coming
The game against Boston University marked Harvard's sixth against a ranked opponent in its last seven contests. The Crimson is 2-5 in its seven games against ranked foes this season, collecting a pair of wins in a home-and-home series with No. 9 Dartmouth. The Crimson fell to No. 7 Minnesota twice Nov. 26-28, dropped a 3-0 decision at then-No. 2 Cornell Nov. 5 and lost, 6-2, to Boston College. In its last time out, Harvard dropped a 5-3 decision to then No. 4/5 Boston University.
Harvard Coach Katey Stone
Katey Stone, the Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Hockey, is in her 17th season as Harvard's head coach, and she holds a 344-150-29 career record, the most all-time victories in Division I women's hockey. Stone has led Harvard to all eight of its NCAA tournament appearances and was named the head coach of the U.S. Women's National Team in the summer of 2010.
Third Period's The Charm
Harvard has played some of its best hockey in the third periods of games so far this season. While opponents have the scoring edge in the first and second periods, the Crimson is outscoring its foes 14-11 in the third stanza. Harvard has also held its opponents to the fewest number of shots, allowing just 75 pucks on net in the third period this year.
Hold Your Fire
In 39 periods of regulation hockey so far this season, Harvard has only allowed double-digit shots 10 times in a given period. Against Yale, Harvard limited the Bulldogs to 13 shots in the game including just three in the second period. Brown managed 15 total shots and fired just two on net in the second stanza. Harvard held Colgate to just two shots in the third period in a 3-1 win and also held Quinnipiac to just two shots in the third period of a 4-1 loss. The Crimson was outshot for the second time this season Nov. 20 at Dartmouth, but came away from Hanover, N.H., with a 3-2 victory. Against UNH, Harvard allowed just 14 shots on net, including three in the second period.
Harvard has yet to allow more than 30 shots to an opposing team in a game this season. The Crimson is averaging 30.1 shots per game to its opponents' 21.8 and is outshooting its opponents 391-283 through 13 games.
About Union
While the Dutchwomen are enduring another trying season, the team has played a number of its opponents close. Union comes into the Harvard game with an overall record of 1-16-3 and still in search of its first conference victory at 0-6-2 in league play. Eight of Union's 16 losses have been by just one goal and the Dutchwomen defense has allowed four or more goals in a game on five occasions. The Dutchwomen opened the 2011 portion of their schedule against Vermont, dropping a pair of contests to the Catamounts by 2-1 and 3-1 scores. Union faces Dartmouth the day after facing the Crimson.
About Rensselaer
RPI enters the weekend just one point behind Harvard in the ECAC Hockey standings, boasting a 4-3-1 conference record to go along with a 6-7-6 overall mark. RPI heads into the weekend on a six-game unbeaten streak, skating to ties in four of the contests. The Engineers also earned wins against Union (4-1) and Syracuse (2-1) during that stretch. RPI faces Dartmouth Jan. 7 in its first action since a Dec. 4 tie with Union, before squaring off against the Crimson.
Familiar Faces
The coaching staff at Union features a trio of former Harvard women's hockey players. Claudia Asano '99 is in her fourth season as head coach of Dutchwomen after serving five seasons as an assistant with Harvard. Ali Boe '06 is also in her fourth season as an assistant with the program and 2007 Patty Kazmaier Award winner Julie Chu '06-07 is in her first year behind the Union bench.
New Faces
Seven freshmen are donning the crimson, black and white this season. The class of 2014 is comprised of goaltender Lauren Joarnt (White Bear Lake, Minn.), Kalley Armstrong (Maple, Ont.), Lyndsey Fry (Chandler, Ariz.), Marissa Gedman (Framingham, Mass.), Gina McDonald (New Brighton, Minn.), Elizabeth Parker (Acton, Mass.) and Jackie Young (Medford, Mass.).
Rank And File
Harvard began the 2010-11 regular season schedule ranked in both national polls. The Crimson was ranked in the first seven national polls of the season, climbing as high as No. 7 in the Oct. 4 polls.
Getting Involved
Through 13 games this season, five of the six freshmen that have seen game action have registered at least one point. Marissa Gedman leads all rookies, with six points (1-5-6) on the season, while Lyndsey Fry (2-2-4) has four points in just seven games. Elizabeth Parker picked up her first goal of her career against Dartmouth Nov. 19 and Gina McDonald tallied her first collegiate point with an assist against Brown Oct. 30. Jackie Young nearly picked up her first point against Colgate, hitting the pipe with a slapshot from the blueline, is tied for the team lead with a +3 rating heading into the Union matchup. Lauren Joarnt has seen action in four games this season and currently holds a .852 save percentage and 3.04 GAA.
It's All Over
Harvard is 114-2-6 (.958) since the start of the 2004-05 season when leading after two periods.
Next Up For the Crimson
Harvard opens up a four-game homestand Jan. 14-15 when it welcomes St. Lawrence and Clarkson to Bright Hockey Center.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In the latest dire warning about the effects of automatic government spending cuts known as the "sequester," an Obama administration official said on Wednesday that not even the White House's own operations will be spared.
"The Executive Office of the President is subject to the sequester, and we anticipate significant disruption to our operations and mission, which could include furloughs," said the official, who did not provide further details.
President Barack Obama has been sounding the alarm about the impact of the $85 billion in automatic across-the-board government spending cuts set to take effect on March 1.
The White House has talked about potential layoffs for a broad spectrum of federal employees such as emergency workers, preschool teachers and meat inspectors to illustrate the impact, part of an effort to spur congressional Republicans to negotiate with Democrats to avert the cuts.
Some analysts have said the fears are overplayed and expect few immediate outward signs of the cuts on March 1.

It's the very last day of the year! My goodness...how this year has flown! I really do wish you everything of the best for 2105! ;-)
Before the year is out....I have one more layout to share from Christmas, for the MME Dec sketch challenge.
I turned the sketch on it's side.
I was taking photo's on Christmas Eve and my brother was pulling faces at the camera. So I used this "Scroogy" one and gave the page the title of " To be or not to Be - Merry".....LOL
I mainly used the All is Bright Collection...but also used up some bits and pieces from other MME collections.
I layered up the bits and pieces, along with lots of stamping and splashes on the background.
Above is the close-up of the story....;-)
Well I am sure you have some fun snaps from Christmas too....
Whatever you do this evening....I hope it's a goodie!
Enjoy and I'll see you on the flip side of 2015! ;-)

New Ashgate Gallery champions the best of contemporary art and craft providing an unparalleled resource in Farnham, Surrey and beyond
Shopping cart0 itemsCheckout
Trevor Price is one of our favourite artists - he specialises in drypoints and etchings that are handmade and hand printed in his studios in London and St. Ives. For this exhibition, he has also created a new body of paintings, unseen before.
Trevor studied at Falmouth and Winchester Schools of Art. He is a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and is currently the societies Vice President. Trevor exhibits widely throughout Europe and has won several national printmaking awards, and in 2011 at Printfest, the art fair dedicated to printmaking, he became the 'Printmaker of the Year'. His work is held in various collections including the Ashmolean Museum (Oxford), Guangdong Museum of Art (China), Yale University (USA), the Office of Public Works (Dublin), and the Bank of England.
Trevor's work will be shown with fantastic wire sculptures by Jane Clift. She is based in Dartmouth where she creates birds and small animals. Jane uses lots of different wire using this medium as others would use a pencil to sketch her sculptures which are a celebration of movement, grace and humour.

Trevor Price works from studios in Bermondsey/London and St. Ives/Cornwall.
He was born in 1966 and grew up in Cornwall. He studied Printmaking at Falmouth and then Winchester School of Art. On leaving college he found work in a London etching studio, with this being a hugely important time, learning the skills of professional printmaking in the way of an old fashioned apprenticeship. On returning to Cornwall, Trevor based himself in St. Ives. Then in his mid-twenties, and with the artistic influences of St. Ives, his work began to change and develop. Trevor has since returned to London, but has maintained the St. Ives base, from where he also still works. The Cornwall, and chiefly St. Ives connection, naturally comes through in Trevor's work. He spends a lot of time in St. Ives drawing the surroundings. Understandably artists with a St. Ives connection, such as Ben Nicholson and William Scott, have a large influence on his work. Other artists that influence him include Picasso, Henry Moore, Elizabeth Frink and Cecil Collins.
Trevor's subject matter in some way is a reflection of his life. Some of the pieces are about the intimacy between a couple, and others show the normal obsessions of any man. Trevor describes himself as an artist/printmaker, and not just an artist. It is the opportunity to experiment and the diversity of technique that draws him to the medium. Printmaking can be as simple as making some scratches on a piece of metal and inking those grooves and the burr they create (drypoint), to highly sophisticated multi-plate etchings. Variations/experimentation in printmaking can be endless. At the moment most of his figurative prints are drypoints of one form or another, usually on zinc or Perspex. The images using Perspex are made by drawing on the surface with a soldering iron, and then printing from those marks.

In my next post, I'll be announcing the winning charity for Cupcake Project 4.0, revealing the cupcake recipe that you'll receive if you donate, and telling you how to donate. But first, join me on a trip to India for Diwali.
These Diwali cupcakes are a twist on traditional Diwali sweets. One of my readers, Pia BRoy, requested Diwali cupcakes on my Facebook page. I told her that I would be happy to make some incorporating her favorite Diwali sweets. She replied that her top Diwali sweets are carrot halwa and gulab jamun – so, Pia, I bring you the Diwali sweets-inspired carrot halwa cardamom cupcakes topped with carrot halwa and a gulab jamun.
Close your eyes as you eat these and you can imagine yourself in India for Diwali. It's easy for me since I was there in '94. Diwali is the Indian festival of lights, and when they say lights, they mean LIGHTS! Our July 4 celebrations don't hold a candle to Diwali (mainly because – at least when I was there – there was no one stopping people of any age from lighting fireworks in the street). There were so many fireworks that it looked like the entire city (I was in Chennai, formally known as Madras) was on fire. Our bus driver could only see two feet ahead of him as he tried to maneuver around cows, people, cars, and carts. I did not envy him!
Open your eyes after you've taken your first bite so that you can peek inside the Diwali cupcakes and see the light texture and scattered orange carrot halwa flecks.
A Little More About Diwali
Diwali is not just about fireworks and sweets. Wikipedia describes the spiritual significance of Diwali:
The most significant spiritual meaning is "the awareness of the inner light". Central to Hindu philosophy is the assertion that there is something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal, called the Atman. Just as we celebrate the birth of our physical being, Diwali is the celebration of this inner light, in particular the knowing of which outshines all darkness (removes all obstacles and dispels all ignorance), awakening the individual to one's true nature, not as the body, but as the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality. With the realization of the Atman comes universal compassion, love, and the awareness of the oneness of all things (higher knowledge). This brings Ananda (joy or peace).
Let your light shine and bake these Diwali cupcakes for Diwali on November 5.
Diwali Cupcake Recipe
I'm not going to claim that these Diwali cupcakes are easy. They require making carrot halwa and gulab jamun before you can even get started with cupcake making. But, if you bake them, you will have an opportunity to experience some of the unique and wonderful flavors of India.
Diwali Cupcakes with Carrot Halwa and Gulab Jamun
- 1 1/2 C all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 C sugar
- 1 recipe carrot halwa see my carrot halwa recipe
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 C ghee
- 3/4 C gulab jamun cardamom syrup see my gulab jamun recipe
- 14 gulab jamun for toppers see my gulab jamun recipe
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and cardamom.
- In another medium-sized bowl, mix sugar, 3/4 cup of tightly packed halwa, and eggs until well combined.
- Mix the ghee and cardamom syrup into the carrot halwa mixture until well combined.
- Mix in the flour mixture until fully incorporated.
- Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full.
- Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Take the remaining carrot halwa (don't worry, I know that you will have eaten several spoonfulls of it at least - I took that into account) and mix it up using an electic mixer or your own arm strength to incorporate some air into it.
- Spread the halwa on top of the cupcakes.
- Just before serving, warm the gulab jamun in the microwave and use them to top the cupcakes.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Storied New York firm Eastman Kodak has spent $125 million on attorneys and accountants after one year in bankruptcy, court papers indicate.
The (Rochester) Democrat and Chronicle reported Thursday medical benefits and insurance coverage for the company's employees came to a halt at the start of the new year, but legal fees continue to pile up.
Kodak has spent almost $22 million on the services of one law firm alone, the newspaper said.
The firm, Sullivan & Cromwell, is charging $1,150 per hour for attorney services and up to $850 per hour for non-attorney services, racking up 900 billable hours and 4,000 billable hours, respectively, records show.
Accounting giant Ernst & Young has earned $13 million in the first year of Kodak's bankruptcy. Corporate restructuring specialist Jim Mesterharm of consulting firm AlixPartners has earned $1.5 million.
On top of its own expenses, Kodak is responsible for paying the bills for legal services provided to creditor committees, a line-item that has cost $3.2 million so far.
In spite of the big numbers, "That doesn't shock me. Bankruptcy's expensive," Martha Salzman, assistant professor of accounting and law at the State University of New York at Buffalo told the newspaper.
"A modern Chapter 11 case is just hugely expensive. It goes in proportion to the size of the company and the complexity of the debt structure," said bankruptcy attorney Robert Rock.
Further, the company is duty-bound to seek outside help.
"You can't have the internal management do it. Theoretically, that's how Kodak got where it is today," said MaryAnn Monforte, clinical assistant professor of accounting at Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management.

Oswald Veblen's parents were Andrew Anderson Veblen and Kirsti Hougen. Andrew Veblen's father was a Norwegian cabinet maker but became a farmer after emigrating from Norway to the United States in 1847. One of Andrew Veblen's brothers, Thorstein Bunde Veblen, was a well-known economist and social critic. Andrew Veblen, was the eldest of his parents twelve children and he was a teacher at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, at the time Oswald was born. He left Luther College when his son Oswald was one year old and he became professor of mathematics and physics at the University of Iowa.
Veblen attended school in Iowa City before entering the University of Iowa in 1894, receiving his A.B. in 1898. After a year spent as a laboratory assistant at the University of Iowa, Veblen spent a year at Harvard University where he was awarded a second B.A. in 1900, before going to the University of Chicago to undertake research. Archibald writes in [4]:-
He received the major part of his mathematical training at the University of Chicago from that inspiring trio Bolza, Maschke, and Eliakim Moore. Under their direction he laid the basis for the important work he was later to achieve in the fields of foundations of geometry, projective geometry, topology, differential invariants and spinors. His often quoted dissertation under Moore, on a system of axioms of Euclidean geometry, followed the trend of development of Pasch (1882) and Peano (1889, 1894) rather than that of Hilbert (1899) and Pieri (1899).In fact Veblen first impressed Moore when he attended his seminar in 1901. When Moore published On the projective axioms of geometry in the following year he acknowledged Veblen's contribution, writing:-
... queries and remarks of members of this course, in particular Mr O Veblen, have been a source of much stimulus.Veblen's doctoral dissertation, supervised by Moore, was entitled A System of Axioms for Geometry and he was awarded his doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1903. In it Veblen gave an axiom system based on point and order rather than on the traditional notions of point, line and plane. He presented twelve axioms for Euclidean geometry which he proved to be an complete system of axioms and he also proved the independence of the axioms. He spent another two years at Chicago after the award of his doctorate as an associate in mathematics. During this time he effectively supervised the doctoral studies of Robert Moore, officially a student of Eliakim Moore's, who was awarded a doctorate in 1905 for a dissertation entitled Sets of Metrical Hypotheses for Geometry. During this period Veblen worked on putting his own thesis into a form for publication and A system of axioms for geometry appeared as a 41 page paper in the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society in 1904. Already at this time he had begun to undertake research in topology (or analysis situs as it was then called) and he published Theory on plane curves in non-metrical analysis situs in 1905.
Leaving Chicago, Veblen taught mathematics at Princeton University from 1905 to 1932. His initial appointment to Princeton in 1905 was as a preceptor, a new position which Woodrow Wilson, the president of Princeton, introduced in an attempt to raise the level of scholarship at the university. Veblen married Elizabeth Mary Dixon Richardson in 1908. She was the sister of Owen Richardson who was the professor of physics at Princeton, and later went on to receive the Nobel prize for physics in 1928. Veblen and his wife Elizabeth had no children. Two years after his marriage, in 1910, Veblen was promoted to professor of mathematics at Princeton.
During the First World War he served first as a captain, later as a major in the army. He sought a commission in the Ordnance Department in the spring of 1917 and was appointed to the Office of Ballistics Research at the new Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. After basic training during the summer of 1917, he arrived at the Proving Ground on 4 January 1918. Veblen headed the Division of Experimental Ballistics which was the mathematical research facility at the Proving Ground. He began collecting data on the range of a 2.95 inch gun. He then worked on the problem of transferring raw data into tables of results and for this he had a staff of men to undertake the lengthy hand calculations. He employed Joseph Ritt to take charge of these computers. His work led to new ballistics theory. See [7] for details of the work he undertook during this period.
Veblen was honoured by Princeton in 1926 when they named him Henry B Fine Professor of Mathematics. In the academic year 1928-29 he taught at Oxford as part of an exchange with G H Hardy. In 1929 funds were provided for Fine Hall at Princeton and Veblen provided most of the ideas that went into its design. He wanted the mathematicians in Fine Hall to be able to:-
... group themselves for mutual encouragement and support. [It had to be a place where] the young recruit and the old campaigner [could have] those informal and easy contacts that are so important to each of them.However he also wanted a room reserved for professors since:-
... not always understood by those who try to bring about closer relations between faculty and students [is] that in all forms of social intercourse the provisions for privacy are as important as those for proximity.In 1932 he spent time in Germany and lectured at Göttingen, Berlin and Hamburg. Zund writes that this experience [14]:-
... gave him a first hand glimpse of the approaching turbulence in Germany, and he subsequently worked tirelessly to help place refugees who came to the United States.Leon Warren Cohen, in an interview in 1984, recalled Veblen's attitude towards placing refugee mathematicians:-
It was the Depression. Young American mathematicians were finding it hard to get appointments, and the question of whether to bring in foreign mathematicians to occupy positions which would then not be available to American mathematicians was debated. Veblen took what I would call the broader view. I hesitate to attribute views to Veblen, but the considerations that seem to have actuated him were two: a concern for the welfare of mathematics itself, and a humane concern for certain individuals who had talent. Veblen was a grand man, and the people for whom he made it possible to come to the United States made a great contribution to mathematics. G D Birkhoff opposed him on this. ... [Birkhoff said] "If these distinguished people come and take the positions, the young American mathematicians will become hewers of wood and drawers of water."Veblen helped organise the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1932, resigning the Henry B Fine Professorship to become the first professor at the Institute in the same year. He had Alexander, Einstein, von Neumann and Weyl, all mathematicians he had chosen, as original Institute members.
Veblen's interest in the foundations of geometry led to his work on the axiom systems of projective geometry. He published Finite projective geometries with W H Bussey in 1906, Collineations in a finite projective geometry (1907), and Non-Desarguesian and non-Pascalian geometries (1908). Together with John Wesley Young he published Projective geometry (1910-18). The first of the two volumes in this book were jointly written by the two authors but the second volume was due the Veblen alone. The introduction to this work justifies the study of foundations:-
Even the limited space devoted in this volume to the foundations may seem a drawback from the pedagogical point of view to some mathematicians. To this we can only reply that, in our opinion, an adequate knowledge of geometry cannot be obtained without attention to its foundations. We believe, moreover, that the abstract treatment is particularly desirable in projective geometry, because it is through the latter that the other geometric disciplines are most readily coordinated. Since it is most natural to derive the geometrical disciplines associated with the names of Euclid, Descartes, Lobachevsky etc. from projective geometry than to derive projective geometry from one of them, it is natural to take the foundations of projective geometry as the foundations of all geometry.We mentioned above that Veblen's first work on topology appeared just before he arrived in Princeton. He went on to establish Princeton as one of the leading centres in the world for topology research. Analysis Situs (1922) provided the first systematic coverage of the basic ideas of topology and contributed to the development of modern topology.
Soon after Einstein's theory of general relativity appeared Veblen turned his attention to differential geometry. This work led to important applications in relativity theory, and much of his work also found application in atomic physics. His work The invariants of quadratic differential forms (1927) is a systematic treatment of Riemann geometry while his work, written jointly with his student Henry Whitehead, The foundations of differential geometry (1933) gives the first definition of a differentiable manifold. In Projective relativity theory (1933) he gave a new treatment of spinors, used to represent electron spin.
Veblen was an active member of the American Mathematical Society, serving the Society as vice-president in 1915 and president in 1923-24. He was the Colloquium Lecturer for the Society in 1916 when he gave a series of lectures on topology. As president of the American Mathematical Society he was the leader of American mathematics and his efforts to increase the funding for research is explained in [6] where Feffer writes:-
Between the world wars, all the scientific professions in the United States underwent tremendous growth. The wartime experiences of scientific leaders whetted their appetites for the continuation of some kind of concentrated, well-funded research programs. Turning not to government but instead to philanthropy, physicists and chemists worked to parlay their postwar prestige into greater support for unfettered research. Leaders of the American mathematical community also wanted to expand their base of support but found themselves facing unique obstacles. Attempts to raise money to support mathematical research had mixed results. [Most important were] the efforts led by Oswald Veblen in the 1920s to collect funds to support mathematics through Princeton University and the American Mathematical Society in the context of this climate of expansion for the physical sciences.Veblen was elected to the American Philosophical Society and the National Academy of Sciences (United States) and was honoured with memberships of many other societies around the world. For example he was a member of the London Mathematical Society, serving on the council in 1928 when he was replacing Hardy at Oxford. Oxford further honoured him with an honorary D.Sc. in 1929, while in the same year he was honoured by the University of Oslo on the occasion of the centenary celebrations for Abel. He was elected to the Danish Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Sciences (Paris), the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Royal Society of Edinburgh and a number of other national academies in, for example, Ireland, Italy, and Peru. In addition to an honorary degree from Oxford, he received similar honours from the universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hamburg, and Oslo. He was made a Knight of Norway's Royal Order of St Olaf, an honour which had also been bestowed on his father.
As to his personal characteristics he was [14]:-
... An engaging person of great modesty and personal charm.L W Cohen said:-
Veblen had many wonderful characteristics. He was a kind man.Veblen loved the outdoors and it was his initiative which led to Princeton purchasing a woodland site for the Institute for Advanced Study so that members could go for countryside walks. His own home was in eighty acres of woodland which he named Herrontown Wood. He and his wife left Herrontown Wood to Mercer County as a place where:-
... you can get away from cars and just walk and sit.In his last years Veblen became partially blind and he devised a number of aids for blind people, one of which was manufactured and distributed by the American Foundation for the Blind.

There are some things a pill can't fix.
Twelve-year-old Kathleen MacIsaac learned that the hard way when she started getting headaches so painful they landed her in the emergency room.
After scans and specialists ruled out a brain tumor or injury, and five different medications failed to make a difference, she began to experiment with alternative treatments. Now, the Woburn sixth-grader has become a big fan of acupuncture, which she says doesn't hurt at all and is really relaxing.
There's plenty of evidence to show that acupuncture is an effective treatment for headaches in children, but most doctors wouldn't have suggested it, and her mother, Lisa, a nurse, admits it felt weird at first to try an approach she hadn't learned about in school.
Her doctor's urging, Lisa MacIsaac said, made her more open-minded to such an alternative treatment.
On the other hand, as many as 70 percent of families with chronically ill kids use alternative therapies, according to a new study — and many of them don't talk about these treatments with their doctors.
Doctors specializing in integrative medicine — the melding of conventional and alternative treatments — say that it's crucial for patients and doctors to work together to find the safest therapies that are most likely to help children. Doctors need to be more accepting of approaches parents are trying with their kids, they say, and families need to be more willing to discuss these approaches with doctors.
"I'm open to whatever they want to try, as long as I have the opportunity to explore whether it's going to be helpful or harmful," said Dr. W. James King, a consulting pediatrician at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and a leader of the new study, published this month in the journal Pediatrics. "If we can't show it's going to be helpful, we want to be sure it's not going to be harmful."
It's not clear whether the use of complementary and alternative medicines — often referred to as CAM — is rising in children, because studies like King's are just beginning to quantify its use. The definition of CAM varies widely, and can include a wide range of supplements and therapies, from vitamins and herbs, to yoga, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation, and a Japanese stress-reduction technique called Reiki.
King's study looked at children in five clinics at two Canadian hospitals: cardiology, gastroenterology, oncology, neurology, and respiratory. The sicker the child, the more likely the family was to use complementary therapies, King said. Children were also more likely to receive alternative treatments if their parents had already tried them. And the older the child, the more frequently parents used alternative therapies, King said, perhaps out of frustration that conventional treatments weren't working.
That frustration has driven up the popularity of complementary medicine.
"The current widespread interest in this among the general public I think is fueled by dissatisfaction with conventional care that is sometimes perceived as being limited, compartmentalized, specialized, and doesn't look at the whole person," said Helene Langevin, director of the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Other families, particularly recent immigrants, arrive at the doctor's office with as much or more faith in remedies indigenous to their home countries as western medicine.
Dr. Sean Palfrey, a professor of pediatrics and public health at Boston University and Boston Medical Center, said he once had a patient, an infant, who was dying of a genetic disease. There was nothing western medicine could do to change that outcome.
The family, originally from Somalia, wanted to "coin" the child, a practice in which a heated coin is placed on the skin to remove harmful substances, leaving red marks and sometimes minor burns. Palfrey said his first instinct was to protect the baby from these burns. But then he realized that the family would feel more at peace if they believed they had tried this remedy first. He discussed ways they could make the ceremony safer for the child and then allowed them to go ahead with it.
Palfrey said he became convinced of the effectiveness of such traditional medicine while working in China, where he saw "hundreds if not thousands of natural substances that are effective in ways that we have not studied in terms of western medicine."
It's important for western medicine to validate these treatments, he said, both to ensure that patients are safe when they use them, and also to acknowledge the value of his patients' history and preferences, he said. "We feel, with a certain amount of conceit, that we practice the pinnacle of scientific medicine but there are many things we don't know, don't understand, haven't studied yet."
On the other hand, Palfrey said he's leery of some of the herbal and "natural" medicines his patients take.
"These products are not regulated by the [Food and Drug Administration] or the consumer products agency because they are not considered medications, or they are made up of so many different components that it's impossible to study them," he said. "Families don't know what's in them. I don't know what's in them."
His biggest fear for children, he said, is that these products might contain lead, which has been used before to sweeten traditional medicines. (Lead poisoning can severely damage the developing brain.)
Palfrey recommends that families discuss any indigenous or home remedies with their doctor — even if the doctor doesn't ask about them directly. And he suggests that doctors try harder to ask patients about what therapies and remedies they're using, especially if prescribed medication isn't working as expected.
In some cases, though, the problem is too little access to complementary therapies, not too much.
National surveys show that affluent white families are the heaviest users of treatments like acupuncture, massage, and yoga — "I think because they can afford it," said Dr. Paula Gardiner, a family physician and integrative medicine expert at Boston Medical Center. Gardiner has found that when she made such treatments available in Dorchester, Codman Square, and South Boston, "we have been finding that patients love it and are open to trying it."
Gardiner said most of her patients are referred by primary care doctors who have run out of conventional therapies, "and now we're here to help, to try the things outside the box." Her team offers stress reduction, yoga, healthy eating programs, and instruction in meditation. "We're giving them different tools to help them think about their lives in a different way," she said.
And she tries to keep it all affordable. Gardiner has arranged partnerships with nearby schools of massage and acupuncture, for instance, to provide training opportunities for students in exchange for free services to patients.
Lisa MacIsaac, whose daughter is Dr. Gardiner's patient, said it was great to get access to these for free, but neither really helped Kathleen. Instead, it is a private acupuncturist, charging $120 a week for two sessions, who has helped the most. MacIsaac has taken on extra nursing shifts to pay for the sessions.
MacIsaac said she now thinks stress is the source of Kathleen's headaches. A recent illness her father suffered, and the transition to middle school — where there's no recess, more social stress, and higher academic expectations — have all taken their toll this year, her mother said.
In addition to pain relief, MacIsaac said she hopes the alternative treatments will give Kathleen more coping strategies, "so when she's an adult she'll have the tools and techniques she needs to have a healthy life."
Be aware
The quality of alternative practitioners varies widely, and there's no standard for determining the best ones. People who practice acupuncture, for instance, may have just three hours of training, or years of training. Practitioners affiliated with hospitals will tend to have more experience.
Before giving your child herbs, it's a good idea to do some research and discuss them with your doctor.
