Like the vast majority of you reading this column, I have never met Alex McKinnon or Jordan McLean.
I imagine, though, they are just like the thousands of other players I have met during my time in rugby league. They would be hard-working youngsters, both full of ambition and hoping to make their mark in this challenging game.
The fact they have the talent, toughness and determination to rise to the level of playing NRL football places both of them in the very elite category of those who ever pulled on a boot as a kid to play the game.
This is a tragedy. Two lives have been changed forever.
Mind you, we need to keep perspective. Whatever penalty and pain Jordan is suffering as a result of this terrible incident, it pales into absolute insignificance when compared to what Alex and his family are experiencing right now.
It would be like comparing the smallest droplet of moisture you could possibly produce, with all the water, in all the oceans, on every planet, in every galaxy ever created.
Alex and his family will need all the love and support our rugby league community can give as they face the extreme challenges ahead.
That's not to say that Jordan won't need support as well.
I totally understand the pain and very raw emotion that those close to Alex and the Newcastle club are feeling at this time. I have been through very similar circumstances a couple of times during my time in this game. My heart honestly bleeds for them.
Having said that, I do feel a real need to say a few words in support, and perhaps even defence of Jordan McLean.
In my attempt to do so, I am agonising about how I can find the right words to say without hurting those who have been left devastated by Alex's injury. Not for one moment would I ever think of saying anything that was going to hurt these people.
As it stands, Jordan McLean now wears the blame for what has happened to young Alex. I don't think that is right. I don't believe Jordan McLean should have to solely carry the burden of guilt for what has happened here.
I honestly believe this tackle was a terrible, terrible accident. The guilty verdict and suspension handed down by the members of the NRL judiciary left me with feelings of anger, emptiness and frustration, all at the same time.
The suspension will come and go. That's not the point of what I'm trying to say.
It's the fact the ''guilty'' verdict tells us that one man, and one man only, is to blame for what happened in this tackle.
That is just plain wrong.
The professional game of rugby league is to blame. The evolution of the tackle process is to blame.
The constant action and reaction between the coaches and the rules officials over the past 30 years is to blame.
The absolute obsession of coaches with the speed of the play-the-ball as the be-all and end-all of what wins rugby league games is to blame.
The self-interest, the selfishness and the short-sightedness of those who have influenced the rules, combined with the weakness, lack of knowledge and lack of foresight of those who have succumbed to these pressures to change the rules and interpretations are to blame.
When Jordan Mclean and his two Melbourne Storm teammates came together with Alex McKinnon in those fateful moments during this match, they were all doing exactly what they had been coached and trained to do.
All of them had been through this action more than a thousand times before, in training and in matches. Sadly, though, on this occasion, it all went horribly wrong.
You can watch this tackle a million times over and dissect it as many ways as you like. You can slow it down frame by frame and analyse every move as it happens in agonising sequence.
All you are left with is feelings of "if only". If only this player didn't do this. If only this player didn't do that.
The truth of the matter is that in real speed, in the heat of the game, this tackle just went horribly wrong, with devastating results.
The big question is: "Should we have seen this coming?"
I don't think the players are to blame at all. I blame the system.
It is too soon to write the column I want to write on the subject of tackles in rugby league. Actually, the truth is that it is far too late to write the column I want to write.
I had begun writing this column during the pre-season when I had watched a few trial games following the introduction of the rule aimed at eradicating the terrible "cannonball" tackle where the third defender into the tackle would attack the legs of the ball carrier as he was held in a standing position by two other defenders.
The immediate result arising from this change in interpretation was an obvious speeding up of the game and the advantage in the speed of the play-the-ball being handed back to the attacking team.
As history has shown us, though, for every rule change or new action that takes place in this tackle process, there is always an immediate and opposite reaction from coaches to swing the balance of power back the other way.
The common adjustment from almost all teams to this new rule was for the third defender to now hit the already well contained and standing ball carrier around the thighs and waist area, rather than their previous target area around the knees or ankles, before applying an ever so subtle ''lift'' to one of the ball carrier's legs to immobile his leg drive and make it easier for all three defenders to slowly pull him down to a helpless position on the ground to control the "ruck speed".
That's what this is all about, controlling the speed of the pay-the-ball.
Not that many will have the courage to admit it, but I'm sure there would have been a number of coaches who were not comfortable with where this was heading.
I am very confident most of the coaches hate coaching this tackling and wrestling stuff. I am just as confident some of them don't know how to coach anything else.
What is certain though – and I believe all the coaches will agree on this point – is if you don't coach this stuff in the NRL, you will lose. You will get left behind because the rules and their interpretations will disadvantage and punish your team. And we all know how important it is to win.
I could fill every page of this newspaper with the history of the evolution of the tackle. I can pinpoint the times of change and who was most influential in forcing such change.
Even now I hear the ridiculous suggestions that we need to return to a five-metre rule, or ban two- and three-man tackles. These are not solutions.
Changing even one small rule can have such a dramatic and unwelcome effect on the way the game is played. That's been the problem with the game for years now.
We have seen short-sighted and poorly researched rule changes being implemented without due consideration to where it would take our game.
Anyway, I am running out of space and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface on this issue.
I have often said that if I could be 21 again just for one hour, I would want to spend the whole hour playing rugby league. The only proviso is that I could go back and play it in an earlier era.
A lot of what we have changed about the game since that time has led us to where we are today – and it's not all good.
Anyway, my main point is that I believe this incident was a terrible accident. But it was an accident we should've seen coming.
I wish we could turn back time and save Alex. I wish we could turn back time and save Jordan, too.

Danny Biega scored his second goal in three games (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CANTON, N.Y.-St. Lawrence scored three goals in the second period and held off a Crimson rally in the third to defeat the Harvard men's hockey team, 4-3, in the Crimson's regular-season finale, Saturday night at Appleton Arena. The loss prevented the Crimson from clinching a home ECAC playoff series and set up a first-round matchup between Harvard and Princeton.
Louis Leblanc, Danny Biega and Chad Morin scored to for the Crimson (7-19-3, 7-12-3 ECAC Hockey) after St. Lawrence (15-13-7, 9-8-5) built a 4-0 lead late in the second period. Conor Morrison logged two assists. Kyle Richter and Ryan Carroll made 32 and nine saves, respectively, for Harvard, while Alex Petizian stopped 19 shots for the Saints. Neither team scored in the final 15 minutes.
The Crimson enters the ECAC Hockey tournament as the No. 9 seed and will visit the eighth-seeded Tigers Friday and Saturday, with a deciding game Sunday, if necessary.
Harvard had the first three shots of the game, including a nifty redirection by David Valek that forced a tough save by Petizian. Richter made a nice save on the first SLU shot, off the stick of Alex Curran in the slot. Valek, however, was soon issued a five-minute penalty for hitting from behind, and on the ensuing power play, Aaron Bogosian picked up a loose puck in front and gave the Saints the lead. Led by Richter, the Crimson killed the rest of the penalty. St. Lawrence killed a penalty of its own to end the period and took the 1-0 edge to the intermission.
The Saints took control with three straight goals in the second period, as Mike McKenzie, Brandon Bollig and George Hughes found the net. Hughes' power-play tally at 18:05 gave the Saints a 4-0 edge, but Leblanc got the Crimson on the board nine seconds before the intermission. He pushed the puck past Petizian at the left post after Alex Killorn chipped the puck ahead to Michael Biega, who passed across the crease to Leblanc on the rush. Richter was pulled after 24 saves and three SLU goals, in favor of Ryan Carroll, who stopped nine of 10 shots to come his way.
The Crimson quickly made a game of it in the third period. Following passes from Ryan Grimshaw and Morrison, Danny Biega shot from wide on the right side past the blocker of Petizian less than two minutes into the period. Morin cut the lead to 4-2 at 4:35, scoring on a deflected shot from the left side after Morrison took the puck to the net and Daniel Moriarty shot wide. Richter returned to the Harvard goal to start the third period and stopped all eight SLU shots. However, Petizian and St. Lawrence held off the Crimson the rest of the way.

BMW NZ Open Champion Jake Progresses to Pro November 27 2012
Jake Higginbottom / Getty Images BMW NZ Open Champion Jake Higginbottom has suddenly decided to progress from Amateur status to Professional following his amazing win at the Clearwater Resort in Christchurch on Sunday. Jake, who could not collect the first prize of $A80,000 on Sunday, originally said he would not rush into professional golf, and would probably turn Pro at the end of next year. I guess his 67 in the final round, withstanding all the pressure from the professionals trying to chase him down, and the lure of all the money available for him to play for has grabbed his attention. Jake's victory has earned him a two-year exemption on OneAsia Tour and also the PGA Tour of Australia, he also gets automatic entry into the second round of the 2013 US PGA and European PGA Tour qualification schools. The possibilities for him, if he plays well are endless, Jake said he felt comfortable with the move to the professional ranks; "I've discussed this with my team and we're all very comfortable with the move. I feel that the time is right as I now have playing opportunities in the professional ranks. It's exciting and I'm looking forward to starting my pro career." Jake will play his first event as a professional at the NSW PGA Championship this week at Mt Broughton Golf and Country Club. Golf Australia director Brad James is pleased that their performance program has produced such a talent; "This is great news for Jake and exactly what Golf Australia and the State Associations strive to achieve in taking players to the next level. Jake has worked hard over the last 12 months and we're pleased to see him make the next step in his career." We wish Jake well in his career as a professional golfer.

In choosing a replacement for U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez, Gov. Charlie Crist must be keenly aware of key constituencies in the Republican Party, such as gun owners. Marion Hammer (right), longtime lobbyist for the Unified Sportsmen of Florida and a former president of the NRA, says the best choice is clearly Jim Smith, the former attorney general and secretary of state and one of seven candidates in the running.
"He has the experience, he has the professionalism, he has the respect and the character to serve this state well," Hammer said. "This is a placeholder appointment and Jim Smith has worked hard in public service for this state and I think he would do a good job for 14 months." She said she made the NRA's preference clear to Crist's people.
Hammer said Crist's former chief of staff, George LeMieux, got an A-plus rating from the NRA when he ran for a state House seat 11 years ago. But she prefers Smith in part because of lis lengthy record of government service. "George LeMieux has not served, so that he would have a voting record," she said. "Someone who has never served, who doesn't know the process is going to need those 14 months to find his or her way around."

By: Mark McGrouther, Category: Science, Date: 29 Sep 2010
Arggghhhh! Nothing gets my goat more than reading a novel or a report that shows a scientific name with both the genus and species names with upper case letters or neither word in italics.
It's really simple! Organisms that have been scientifically described have two names*, a genus name and a species name. The first one is the genus name. It always begins with an upper case letter. The second is the species name. It never has an upper case letter.
For an example, I give you Heterodontus portusjacksoni, better known as the Port Jackson Shark. The whole name is written in lower case letters except the first letter of the genus name. Both names are written in italics. Simple! If you are hand-writing the name and italics cannot be used, underline both words, Heterodontus portusjacksoni.
The genus and species names are usually derived from Latin or Greek but often include a person's name. The genus name Heterodontus comes from the Greek heteros meaning 'different' and dont meaning 'tooth' This refers to the difference between the anterior teeth which are small and pointed and the posterior teeth which are broad and flat. The species name portusjacksoni refers to Port Jackson, better known as Sydney Harbour.
Phew. I feel better now!
*I am ignoring subspecies, races, vars etc.
Tags fishes, ichthyology, scientific names, genus, species,
Hi Kieren, You'd have to work hard not to be in the good books! I know that your knowledge of fishes and their scientific names is spot on. :)
Just jumped on my divearound website to check that I had my names in order...Phew! yes I do. Hopefully keeps me in the good books :)

First Happy Meals, and now this? Next November, San Francisco residents may be voting on whether or not circumcision should be illegal there. Lloyd Schoefield, the author of a San Francisco ballot measure that would make it a misdemeanor to "circumcise, excise, cut or mutilate the... genitals" of a person under 18, called circumcision "mutilation."
Many parents and some health officials disagree, believing circumcised penises reduce the spread of H.I.V., although scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are still studying whether circumcision is truly a healthier choice. According to the New York Times, US circumcision rates are on the decline.
The measure isn't on the ballot yet—Schoefiled still needs to collect more than 7,100 signatures—so until then, parents will have to decide for themselves what's right for their son. (We're here to help.)
Did you circumcise your son? Would you take issue with a law saying you couldn't?

In the Paraguayan capital of Asuncion, there is a village called Cateura built practically on top of the city's main landfill. Families eke out a living sorting through the trash and selling whatever valuables they can find. Like many high poverty areas, drugs and gangs are rampant and children grow up with little hope of ever doing much more than sorting trash.
A trailer for a new documentary about Favio Chavez, a local ecologist and musician who is teaching the children of Cateura to play music on recycled instruments, has been circulating online at a rather feverish pace. The joy of the boy playing Bach on an oil-drum cello is difficult not to share.
We caught up with Chavez via Skype to find out the whole story.
Although he grew up nearby, Chavez first encountered these children when he worked on a waste recycling project at the landfill from 2006-'08 and got to know some of the local families. Since 2002, he has run a Boys Orchestra in his homevillage of Carapuengà and one day, he decided to repeat the same thing with the children of Cateura. More than 40% of children in the area don't finish school because their parents need them to work, so initially the idea of an orchestra was simply to keep the kids from playing in the landfill.

G610, Revised August 2011
This guide describes how to place an output (short) hedge in the options market to reduce the price risk associated with selling an output produced in your business. A short hedge in the options market is referred to as the purchasing of a put option.
For example, John, a cattle producer, knows he will be selling a pen of cattle two months from now. He knows that by selling live cattle for more than $92 per hundredweight he can ensure a satisfactory profit. Currently, the local live cattle price is $94 per hundredweight, but he believes that the price may drop during the next few months. By knowing his cost of production for these animals, John knows that the $94 per hundredweight will allow for a satisfactory profit. What can John do to protect against falling prices? He cannot sell the cattle now because the cattle are too small, but he could enter the options market and partially offset any loss in value (decrease in price) with a gain in option value.
First, knowing your cost of production helps you know when to place a hedge. To place a hedge, you need to contact a broker. Most large communities have a broker who will take your order for a set fee (as is common when placing any futures/options market order). The broker can help you understand how to place and exit your position. The broker has a stake — a commission — in making sure you have a positive experience with hedging.
After you have placed the order, the broker will contact a brokerage house at the commodity exchange and relay the order. On the floor of the trading commission, market supply and demand are matched, so that if you want to place a short hedge using options (put option), there will always be someone willing to write a put option provided you are willing to pay the market price. This process is known as arbitrage. As a hedger, you must also know the strike price at which you would like to enter the options market. For more information, see MU Extension publication G603, Introduction to Hedging Agricultural Commodities With Options.
The price paid for the option is referred to as the premium. The amount of the premium paid is related to the strike price, which comes from a predetermined range of values that is different for each commodity. A put option is said to be in the money if the strike price is above the underlying futures price, at the money if the strike price is equal to the underlying futures price, or out of the money if the strike price is below the underlying futures price. At any given time, the range of strike prices quoted will cover values in the money, at the money, and out of the money. Thus, a hedger or speculator has the option of purchasing an option at any of these three levels. Typically, options in the money will have the highest premium, followed by options at the money. Options out of the money will be the cheapest.
The option premium is the value the hedger pays for the right to take a futures position later. The premium is based on the intrinsic value (the difference between the strike price and the underlying futures price for an in-the-market put option) and time value (number of days remaining until expiration of the contract). If the futures market decreases, a put option theoretically increases in value; however, this need not be the case.
A decrease in futures price is assumed to be positively related to a change in the put option value. Thus, the option value decreases. Suppose that today Calvin, a corn producer, knows that he will be selling corn a few months from now and that given the current cash price of $5.35 per bushel, he has the potential to profit. However, Calvin is concerned that the price may decrease before be sells. He decides to purchase a $5.50 per bushel in-the-money put option for $0.20 per bushel. Later, when the Calvin is ready to sell the corn, the cash and futures prices have decreased to $5.15 per bushel and $5.20 per bushel, respectively (no change in basis). The futures price has decreased such that the put option is now further in the money. Therefore, Calvin sells the corn for $5.15 per bushel and sells his put option for $0.35 per bushel, a $0.15 per bushel gain in value (Table 1). In this case, Calvin has improved his selling price from $5.15 per bushel to $5.29 per bushel ($5.15 per bushel less $0.01 per bushel commission plus $0.15 per bushel gain in option value).
Table 1. Short hedge with options as cash and futures prices decrease (basis is held constant).
Options price
An increase in futures price is assumed to be inversely related to a change in the put option value. Thus, the option value decreases. Assuming the same initial conditions as the previous example, suppose that after Calvin purchases the put option, the cash and futures prices increase to $5.60 per bushel and $5.65 per bushel, respectively (no change in basis). The futures price has increased such that the put option is now out of the money. Therefore, Calvin sells the corn for $5.60 per bushel and sells his put option for $0.05 per bushel, a $0.15 per bushel loss (Table 2). In this case, Calvin has decreased his selling price from $5.60 per bushel to $5.44 per bushel ($5.60 per bushel less $0.01 per bushel commission less $0.15 per bushel loss in option value). However, Calvin had the potential for unlimited gains (Table 1 scenario) with limited losses.
Table 2. Short hedge with options as cash and futures prices increase (basis is held constant).
Cash price paid $5.60/buPlus commission $0.01/buLess option premium gain $0.15/buNet selling price $5.44/bu
With the same initial conditions as in the previous examples, assume that the cash and futures prices change minimally (no change in basis) and the contract month expiration date is tomorrow. Therefore, Calvin purchases the corn for $5.34 per bushel and allows his put option to expire worthless (and Calvin does not pay commission costs for allowing the option to expire). In this case, Calvin has decreased the price received from $5.34 per bushel to $5.135 per bushel ($5.34 per bushel less $0.005 per bushel commission less $0.20 per bushel loss in option value; see Table 3). However, Calvin had the potential for unlimited gains with limited losses.
Table 3. Short hedge with options as cash and futures prices do not change (basis is held constant).
Purchase $5.50/bu put at $0.20 bu(pay $1,000 plus commission)
Table 4 outlines an example similar to the one described in Table 1. However, in this case, the futures price decreases substantially and the option premium realizes only a modest increase in value. In this case, Calvin might want to exercise the put option. That is, Calvin would use his right to sell a futures contract at a later date at $5.50 per bushel and buy back in the futures market at the current price of $5.00 per bushel. Therefore, Calvin would receive $5.19 per bushel instead of the current cash price of $4.95 per bushel. Furthermore, if Calvin had sold his put option, he would have received $5.09 per bushel because the put option increased in value by only $0.15 per bushel.
Table 4. Short hedge with options as cash and futures prices increase (basis is held constant).
Cash price paid $4.95/buLess commission $0.01/buLess initial call premium $0.20/buPlus option exercise gain $0.50/buNet selling price $5.24/bu

B. If you (a) receive in-state tuition status or Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) tuition status, or (b) receive financial aid that is supported by state monies (Arizona), then you are affected by Proposition 300.
If Proposition 300 applies to me then what do
I need to do?
A. With rare exceptions, students in the following groups
will NOT have to provide further documentation of lawful presence.
If you do not fall into any of the groups
above, and you wish to apply for in-state tuition or financial aid supported by
state monies, then you must provide document of:
How often must I provide documentation?

No. Proposition 300 does not restrict eligibility for
scholarships funded by non-state sources (including private-donor scholarships
administered by NAU), as long as the student meets all other scholarship
criteria (i.e., major, college, etc.).
Does Proposition 300 require NAU to report students without lawful presence enrolled at NAU?
No. Proposition 300 requires reporting aggregate data, not
individual student information. Personally identifiable student information is
subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
Does Proposition 300 deny access by undocumented studentsto admission to an Arizona public college or university?
No. Proposition 300 requires that students who are not legal
citizens of the United States or who are without lawful immigration status be
excluded from classification as in-state or county residents. It also holds
that a person who is not a U.S. citizen and without lawful immigration status
will not be entitled to receive financial assistance that is paid or subsidized
in whole or in part with state funds. It does not prevent such students from
enrolling at NAU.

Earlier this week, NPR ran a story about some interesting research into the concept of inattential blindness that I think is incredibly instructive for arts leaders. The study went like this: an image of a man in a gorilla suit was superimposed upon a series of slides that radiologists typically use to look for cancer (see the image to the left). A group of radiologists were then asked to review the slides for cancerous nodules. The result? 83% did not see the gorilla.

Reported by Bloomberg recently, smartphone competitors Apple and Google have submitted a joint bid of more than half a billion dollars for Eastman Kodak's 1,100 imaging patents remaining in the company's portfolio. Both Apple and Google had attempted to purchase Kodak's patents separately, but all attempts were unsuccessful up to this point. Apple was working with Microsoft and Google as working with a variety of unnamed Android smartphone manufacturers when the original bids of $150 to $250 million were placed during Kodak's auction. Representatives for both Apple and Google have declined to comment on the reported partnership and Kodak representatives hasn't disclosed the total amount of the joint bid from the two companies.
After CES 2012 came to a close in early January, Kodak filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to dwindling revenue from camera film sales as well as increased competition in the digital imaging space. At the time of the filing, Kodak reported approximately five billion dollars in assets and nearly seven billion dollars in total debt.
During November 2012, Kodak was able to secure $830 million in exit financing. However, access to that money was contingent on the sale of Kodak's imaging patent portfolio for a price above $500 million. Prior to the patent auction in August, Kodak estimated the entire patent portfolio was worth between $2.2 to $2.6 billion.
While the partnership between Apple and Google clearly doesn't give either company an edge regarding patent ownership, it will allow both companies to avoid spending money on litigation over the Kodak patents in the coming years. Strategically, it also halts Kodak representatives from spurring a continued bidding war between the two companies. Without a strong bargaining position, Kodak will likely be forced to take the offer in order to finalize the bankruptcy process unless a new bidder comes forth.

Who's next? Kenny Smith?
Or how about Ernie Johnson?
Now that Charles Barkley is notifying folks via text that he's interested in discussing the 76ers president/general manager job, why shouldn't Smith and Johnson, the only two remaining members of TNT's Inside The NBA crew not yet to have their names mentioned in connection with an NBA front office job, throw their names in the hat?
Apologies to Craig Sager. Maybe next year.
Barkley, the Emmy award winning broadcaster and former Sixers great, texted "Yes sir" in response to a text from 94WIP's Anthony Gargano asking Barkley if he would be interested in being the team's GM.
Last month Shaquille O'Neal, who like Barkley has never had any experience running the day -to-day operations of an NBA franchise, had his name mentioned as a potential candidate for the Orlando Magic GM job. O'Neal later denied the report and added that he hoped to spend many more "years with Charles, Kenny and E.J. [Johnson].
Barkley signed a multi-year extension to stay on with TNT in February, and it's doubtful that the former Sixer really wants to leave that world for the dog-eat-dog world of the NBA. And as good as the chemistry is on that show, I'm pretty sure that the rest of the NBA watching public hopes he stays there as well.
Who knows if this is just another instance of "Charles being Charles?" Remember, Barkley is good for throwing this kind of stuff to see what kind of reaction he'll get. It wasn't that long ago that Barkley was doing the late-night talk circuit telling anyone who would listen that he was going to one day run for governor in Alabama.
Turns out that was nothing more than Barkley musings.
However, Barkley has often said that he could run an NBA franchise better than those already charged with the job. And from what we've seen from some of these guys with experience, who is to argue with him?
If Danny Ferry can be the leading candidate to replace Rod Thorn as the Sixers GM or president – what the next guy's role will be still seems a little murky right now – who is to suggest that Barkley couldn't step in and be just as competent?
Let's not forget that Ferry got mixed reviews in that role when in Cleveland as the GM he surrounded LeBron James with Mo Williams, O'Neal, Anthony Parker, Leon Powe, Antawn Jamison and Zydrūnas Ilgauskas. Those moves didn't produce the results that James was looking for and probably helped make his decision to take his talents to South Beach.
From a marketing standpoint it would be great. Barkley is Hall of Famer and one of the five greatest players in the franchise's history. Sixers coach Doug Collins has the team heading in the right direction and the front office loves him – he'll probably be getting a contract extension very soon.
But the biggest reason why this could never happen is that Barkley's personality is just too large. He could never come back to Philly and be in the reduced role that it is believed the next general manager will assume here.
Barkley wouldn't take this job without full control, something he would never get. And if it's true that Collins won a power struggle with Rod Thorn – which Thorn denies – there is no possible way Barkley comes in here and plays second fiddle to Collins or anyone else.

Reclaimed Wood In Kitchens
The kitchen is one of those rooms in the home that can easily lose its personality in favor of "cleaner" selections with slick surfaces. But it turns out that finishes with some age and character to them tend to make a space feel more personal.
We've been working on a kitchen renovation that uncovered a structural column smack dab in the center of our design. To incorporate the discovery into our scheme, we set vintage railroad ties on all sides of the concrete structure, and the gorgeous patina of the wood makes the eyesore melt away. We definitely enjoy bringing an old roughed-up wooden texture to add loads of life and color variation into the kitchen.

Bacterial infections are a common cause of disease in turtles and tortoises. Proper
housing, and
sanitation are the best methods of prevention. However, even in the most well-cared for turtles or tortoises, infections can still occur. Some of the most common bacterial infections are outlined below, as well as their recommended treatments.
It should be stressed that this is a simplified overview of several of the most common diseases. Some of these conditions can become very complicated and may require more exact diagnostics, cultures, and treatments than those listed. Many of the treatments require antibiotics that can only be obtained through a veterinarian. If you suspect that your turtle or tortoise may have a bacterial, viral, or nutritional disease, be sure to seek out the help of a veterinarian that specializes in the treatment of turtles and tortoises.
Necrotic stomatitis
Necrotic stomatitis is an infection often caused by either the bacteria Pseudomonas or Aeromonas. It is commonly known as 'mouth rot' and is a common bacterial infection in turtles and tortoises. Mild conditions are often treated by swabbing the infected areas with diluted Betadine. More established infections often respond to antibiotics including cephalosporins and amoxicillin. In severe cases, injectable antibiotics must also be used. There are several factors that predispose turtles and tortoises to developing mouth rot. The most common is poor jaw alignment often caused by overgrown, damaged, or improperly trimmed beaks. Mouth injuries from thorns contacted during feeding can also be a cause. Tortoises may be particularly susceptible to these infections during hibernation.
Eye infections and conjunctivitis
Eye infections often begin as a small white spot on the surface of the cornea (the clear front portion of the eye). As the infection progresses, it can spread over the entire surface and create an ulcer on the eye. It is important that these infections are not confused with cataracts or the less common hypovitaminosis A (Vitamin A deficiency). Infections may also occur in the eyelids creating irritation and swelling. The cause of many of these infections is contaminated water in aquatic or semi aquatic turtles, or low humidity in tortoises.
The treatment of eye infections usually consists of topical antibiotic eye drops with neomycin, chloramphenicol, or gentamycin most commonly used. In aquatic turtles, injectable antibiotics may often have to be used due to the inability of keeping topical drops or ointments on the eye for a long enough time to provide treatment.
Cloacitis is a bacterial infection of the cloaca that results in an inflamed cloacal opening and a foul smelling discharge. These infections are often associated with parasitic infections, or a stone-like cloacal calculus (mineral deposit). Treatment consists of removing the stone, treating the parasitic infection, if present, and then irrigating the cloacal area with a dilute Betadine or chlorhexidine solution. A topical antibiotic ointment is then applied to the cloacal opening.
Pneumonia occurs in one of two forms. The first is the acute type, and can appear suddenly and cause death in just a matter of hours, if not treated quickly. The turtle will have problems breathing, such as respiratory distress with gasping and open mouth breathing. There may be coughing or disorientation. Some tortoises with acute pneumonia may actually become hyperactive.
The second form is chronic, and turtles may also have problems breathing and chronic nasal discharge. Radiographs (x-rays) may help confirm a tentative diagnosis. Treatment for both forms consists of injectable antibiotics. The acute form usually responds better to treatment. Common antibiotics include enrofloxacin (Baytril), ciprofloxacin, oxytetracycline, or ampicillin (may cause swelling at the injection site).
Ear Abscesses
Ear abscesses are a relatively common problem, particularly in American Box Tortoises. The common signs are swelling of the tympanic membrane and the resulting discharge of pus into the back of the throat via the eustachian tube. Since these infections can often be very advanced before they are noticed, treatment usually consists of surgically opening and draining the abscess. In the early stages of the infection oral or injectable antibiotics can be used. These infections are often associated with contaminated water or improper temperature and humidity levels.
Ulcerative Shell Disease
Ulcerative shell disease is often called SCUD or 'shell rot' and comes in two primary forms. The dry form is often associated with a fungal infection and needs to be treated with antifungal medications. The wet form is associated with gram negative bacteria and often develops after an injury to the shell. Treatment consists of removing the infected scute and irrigating the area with a diluted Betadine solution. A topical antibiotic is then often applied.
Septic Arthritis and Articular Gout
Septic arthritis and articular gout are both serious conditions that can be seen individually, but are often found together in the same affected joint. The signs include swelling of the limb joints, stiffness, and pain when the joint is manipulated. This condition is sometimes confused with rickets caused by a Vitamin D deficiency. The occurrence of gout is closely associated with an overly high intake of dietary protein, which results in a higher than normal blood urea. This condition is most common in herbivorous tortoises that are fed animal protein instead of the more natural vegetarian diet. Treatment in mild cases usually consists of injectable antibiotics, with oxytetracycline or gentamycin commonly used. The diet also needs to be corrected. In more severe cases, the limb may need to be amputated.
Abscesses are very common in all reptiles including turtles and tortoises. The most common locations are the ears, legs, nasal passageways, jaw, and liver. Abscesses often present as hard lumps or swellings under the skin. Antibiotics are not usually very effective in controlling these abscesses, so surgical removal is the preferred method of treatment.
Bacterial infections are a common problem in pet and wild turtles and tortoises. Many of the infections can be avoided with good sanitation, housing, and nutrition. Fortunately, with prompt diagnosis and treatment almost all of these common infections can be effectively treated.

Salad Recipes
Grilled Eggplant Tartlet Recipe
I love grilling vegetables. They can be served as is as a side dish or coarsely chopped in a salad. They also can act as the basis of flavorful spreads. Recently, I opted for the latter and created a smoky eggplant spread flavored with onion, garlic, grape molasses, tahini, a few herbs and sea salt; to ensure the eggplant would blend smoothly in the food processor, I added delicious Chardonnay cider I discovered at Trader Joe's. The result is out of-this-world delicious. You could stop the work right there and serve the spread in a bowl with lavash bread or pita bread, but I fancied it up by using it as a filling in mini-tartlets.
This appetizer is not only cute, it's very easy to prepare. I let the girls prepare the eggplant spread and assemble the one bite-sized appetizers while I was preparing dinner. I had two goals in mind. First, it kept them occupied and they had fun at the same time, instead of asking "is dinner ready yet?" The second main reason is that now since they now know how to make this, they can help out with very little supervision whenever we have guests over. I find it very valuable to get the girls involved in the kitchen. They appreciate food more when they know where it came from, and as I keep reminding them, they'll be thankful to know basics when they're on their own at college.

Coconut Madeleine Recipe
Maybe it's just me but I love having guests over for tea. It's fun because you can serve an assortment of savory and sweet treats to go along with it. And, of course, I love trotting out my different tea sets!
My go-to, fool-proof tea cake recipe is a French classic: the madeleine. The authentic, buttery, plain version is divine, but today I felt like adding something exotic and flavored the batter with coconut. The coconut version doesn't puff up as much as traditional madeleines normally do, but they are a touch crispier and pair wonderfully with a hot cup of tea.

Vegetarian Calzone Recipe (Pizza Pocket)
My husband Lulu worked from home today, so I improvised a little lunch for him. I made little pizza pockets filled with béchamel-coated vegetarian beef strips. I used store-bought whole wheat pizza dough, I already had béchamel sauce made and I added leeks and onions to the filling.
I paired the calzone with tomato soup. Lulu was on a phone call when I brought him lunch but he gave me two thumbs up after finishing his tray of food!

Stuffed Arancini Recipe (Stuffed and Fried Risotto Balls)
If you entertain as much as we do, you'll find this masala burger-stuffed arancini a great help when you're preparing a cocktail party. This appetizer is prepared in three steps: first making risotto, which I flavored with delicious saffron our friend Jasmine brought back from Iran (Thanks! I love you, Jasmine!), then preparing masala-flavored beef and Bocconcini (small mozzarella balls) and finally forming and frying the stuffed risotto balls (arancini).
I serve these with a bowl of marinara sauce: the acidity of the sauce balances the richness of the risotto balls nicely.

Oeuf Mollet (Soft-Boiled Egg Recipe)
After more than 10 years of knowing each other, my husband Lulu still reminds me how much I enjoy his sense of humor even though I often don't want to admit it. Yesterday, he came to me and said from now on, after much thought, he has decided to incorporate animal protein into his vegetarian diet. I got really excited, and naively, I prepared oeufs mollets (French for soft-boiled eggs) for him. It took exactly six minutes to prepare. Lulu looked at the eggs and said: "Nah. April Fools!"
It wasn't a big deal because Aria and I ended up eating the eggs. They were delicious, especially because they were freshly laid. The preparation is very easy. Start by quickly boiling the eggs, then peel and serve them on a bed of béchamel-topped spinach and asparagus.
I'll post another preparation that's as simple as oeufs mollets, where the eggs are boiled for an even shorter amount of time. They're called "oeufs à la coque".

New Hope for Alzheimer's Sufferers?
Alzheimer's researcher Claude Wischik has long backed a minority view: that a protein in the brain called tau-not plaque-is largely responsible. WSJ's Shirley Wang spoke with Dr. Wischik about his work on a new drug to treat the devastating disease.

YORK, Pa. --- Peg Pritchard's secret? The personal invitation.
Eight men and women will make their promises as Missionaries of Evangelium Vitae (MEV) on Saturday at St. Joseph's Church here. Last year, 13 made promises. Next year? Who knows, but people already have told Mrs. Pritchard they would like to be part of her next Life Cell.
"I guess the numbers are good," said Mrs. Pritchard, who made her promise in 2008, along with her friend and Life Cell co-facilitator Vicki Crispo. "There is such a passion that we have, that I think people see it and know it and feel it. When people ask me about MEV, I say, 'Maybe you should consider it. Just come and see.' The personal invitation works very well."
For the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life ("Evangelium Vitae"), a ministry of New York-based Priests for Life, clergy and laity devote 10 months to a year studying the 1995 encyclical written by Pope John Paul II and then commit the rest of their lives witnessing to the dignity and respect of all individuals, from conception to natural death, focusing in particular on the protection of the child in the womb.
"It's pro-life spirituality. What we stress first and foremost is their relationship with the Lord," Mrs. Pritchard said. "After they make their promises, He will direct them and they will discern what God is asking of them. And He will equip them for it."
Some are moved to pray outside abortion clinics. Others to work at pregnancy resource centers or to reach out to post-abortive men and women... Some will begin Respect Life groups at their churches.
"One mother is raising her children to recognize and respect the dignity of every person," Mrs. Pritchard said, "and I told her, 'you are right where you are supposed to be.' "
Those making their promises Saturday include Deacon Dan and Bernadette Bernardy, Rachel Bramucci, Stephanie Burns, Edna Christ, Nancy Marquette, Wendy Matarese and Maria Mullen.
Worldwide, 1,622 people are in formation with MEV. When the Rev. Paul Schenck, director of Respect Life activities for the Diocese of Harrisburg, accepts the promises in York, a total of 206 people will have earned the distinctive MEV pin.
"The work we do for the unborn is a charism. It's a gift of the Holy Spirit. It is a vocation," said Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "Pro-life is a spirituality. It's an integral aspect of our identity. The pro-life cause is a cause that chose us before we chose it."
Mrs. Pritchard's commitment to pro-life began when she was a child and had just learned about the Holocaust. "I talked to my Mom about it, and I asked, 'why didn't anyone do anything?' "
Years later, in 2003, the mother of four sons attended a Women of Grace conference in Doylestown, Pa., with her friend, Mrs. Crispo, and together they heard, loud and clear, the call to stand up for the unborn.
"I needed to witness and bring to fruition that unsettled feeling I had as a child when I learned about the Holocaust," Mrs. Pritchard said.
Father Schenk later invited the women to learn about MEV. In 2008, Father Denis Wilde, OSA, associate director of Priests for Life, accepted their promises. During a mass at 9:45 a.m. Saturday, eight more people will commit themselves to be lifelong missionaries of the Gospel of Life.

Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Andrews University's Spring Commencement, scheduled for the weekend of May 3–5, 2013, marks a significant scheduling change. In order to provide more seating for graduates' families, Commencement has been split into three separate services by school/college. Previously, Commencement was separated into two services: one for undergraduate and the other for graduate degree conferral.
The new schedule is:
8:30–10:30 a.m.
School of Health Professions
Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary
11 a.m.–1 p.m.
College of Arts & Sciences
2–4 p.m.
Department of Agriculture
Department of Aviation
School of Architecture, Art & Design
School of Business Administration
School of Distance Education
School of Education
Each year, the graduating classes have grown, bringing with them more family members who wish to attend Commencement. According to Dalry Payne, graduation coordinator, after the spring 2012 service the administration decided to add one more commencement service to allow each graduate greater access to tickets for family and friends. Currently, each graduate will be allocated a minimum of six tickets. Depending upon the number of graduates who march, there may be more tickets available.
Full details of this year's spring Commencement is available at www.andrews.edu/graduation.

FO: Rock Island Shawl
I seriously never thought I would finish this sucker. Because you knit the edge first and then pick up and work in, the beginning takes forever. I think I almost lit this thing on fire at least 5 times. In the end, totally worth it and I'll probably make another one.
Now, I'm trying to figure out ways to keep from dying in the heat. Seriously, my entire life has been spent with summers that get maybe 1 or 2 days above 30 degrees and now I'm facing down a forecast of days in the 30's for the next month or two. Oh, and it turns out I'm extra allergic to Italian mosquitoes (zebra/tiger ones?) so I'm spending my evenings slathering myself in antihistamine cream and trying to stay cool in my non-air conditioned room.
Stay cool, friends!

You may have reawakened the shawl bug in me. That's a beauty and the color is perfect!ReplyDelete
I feel your pain re: the heat. It sucks and I hate it. As someone who has lived through sticky and humid summers in Boston without AC for years, I can recommend the following: window fan + cold wet washcloth on the back of your neck while sitting near the fan. And the usual drink lots of water, eat popsicles, freeze your fruit, etc.
Best of luck!Replies
I'm on the hunt for a window fan right now! I'm in a really small town, and I've come up dry on my last couple attempts. I managed to fall asleep fairly quickly while hugging a frozen water bottle. Freezing fruit is actually brilliant and it didn't cross my mind. Frozen grapes, here I come!Delete
It's lovely! I'm hunting for my first shawl pattern and will be adding this to the pool. Your yarn choice works so well with the lace, too.ReplyDeleteReplies
The beginning of this shawl is a bit tricky and annoying, so if you do try it.. use lifelines. I've never used them before, but they saved my butt many times while working on the edging. Since it's patterned every row finding/fixing inevitable mistakes is a huge pain. The result is totally worth the frustration, though!Delete

If you haven't heard of Minecraft yet, and you have kids, you must be living under a rock. It's both an app and an online game that kids everywhere are playing. There are so many aspects to the game that it's hard to describe. But basically, it involves building structures of any sort with blocks. Players can work individually or with a group of people, multi-player, to build a fortress or gigantic labyrinth of sorts. These cubes can be arranged in a fixed grid pattern and represent different materials, such as dirt, stone, various ores, water, and tree trunks. There are no specific goals and players have freedom to play as they like. There are of course monsters such as spiders, skeletons and zombies and two characters unique to Minecraft... Creeper and Enderman. It's a game that kids elementary school age and older are playing.
If your kids are into this game then they will be interested in these shoes that you can make. The basic squares, or cubes, design goes with the overall theme of the game of building with blocks. We purchased shoes from Kmart in May and they were around $12.00 a pair. They are the Joe Boxer brand. They are light grey with lime green accents and bottoms. But any white canvas shoes will work too. You will need Fabric Markers, which can be found at most craft stores, such as Jerry's Artarama or Michael's Craft Store.
What You Need:
- Canvas shoes
- Fabric markers
- Clear varnish paint/waterproof spray
- Ruler & pencil
What to Do:
- Using a popsicle stick, or ruler, pencil horizontal lines starting at the front of the shoe and working your way up.
- Make vertical lines, starting with the center line and working your way out until the entire shoe is marked off with tiny squares.
- Once the front is done move onto the back of the shoe and do your horizontal and vertical lines.
- Next, determine where your Creeper face will go (see photo) and, using pencil, mark those squares with a darker line.
- Now, using your fabric markers, start coloring in the squares different greens.
- Use black for the creeper squares for the Creeper face.
- Keep filling in squares until the shoes are fully covered. Because we used light grey shoes we left some squares blank so the grey would show. If you use white shoes, you will also fill in squares with grey.
- When coloring in your squares, color until its the desired shade you want. Its best to only color inside the lines you penciled in. if you go to the line the colors sometimes bleed.
- Cover the finished designed shoes with a coat of clear varnish (flexible) paint. You can skip this step if you don't want the shoes to have a slight sheen or if you do not want to go searching for paint. Instead you can just water proof the shoes with waterproof spray.

MK Dons have a host of injury worries ahead of the visit of Oldham.
On-loan striker Angelo Balanta will be out of action until March with an ankle injury and joint top scorer Sam Baldock remains sidelined. The striker has scored five league goals this season but is still out with an injured ankle picked up against Sheffield Wednesday.
Utility player Jude Stirling is nearing a return to action after a groin strain but will not make the squad. Defender Sean O'Hanlon may make the bench after some improvement in the condition of a stomach muscle injury.
Striker Aaron Wilbraham serves a one-match suspension as a result of his red card at Notts County.
American striker Jemal Johnson and midfielder Adam Chicksen have missed training this week through illness but look to have recovered in time.
Oldham boss Paul Dickov has a virtually full-strength squad.
Midfielder Ritchie Jones has recovered from hamstring and groin injuries, leaving the Latics with no major injury concerns.
Dickov`s men have not played for three weeks after recent matches against Walsall and Swindon were both frozen off.
However, the Boundary Park outfit played a behind-closed doors friendly against Blackburn on Tuesday at Rovers` training ground as Dickov looked to give his men some much-needed match practice.
Dickov, meanwhile, is confident of striking a deal to keep Filipe Morais at the club for the rest of the season.
The Portuguese-born winger, who is currently on non-contract forms, has been offered a package for the remainder of the campaign.
