I'm not usually one to jump on the fashion bandwagon, but I do love accessories– namely ones that will help pump up my usual wardrobe of solid colored shirts and sweaters. In the fall/winter, you will usually see me with a scarf to match, but lately, I've fallen in love with the beaded statement necklace trend- problem is, most of them come in gold (I guess that's the new "in" color?) and I can't stand gold. While in JoAnn's (Fabric/Craft store) the other day, I noticed that most of the beads were on sale, so I picked up 2 strings of bright pink teardrop beads and a few other supplies and set out to make my own bib necklace.
*Note- this project is not for the faint of heart- I'm sure many seasoned beaders could make quick work of this, but for me, it was a fairly tedious project! It just makes me all the more proud of the final product 😉
So, to make my necklace, I grabbed the following items- beads (my pattern takes 40 beads, measuring about a half inch long), a chain to finish the necklace off, eye pins (and one plain nail head pin), jump rings (I had these, so I used what I had- two different sizes worked best, large and small), some sort of clasp to close your necklace, and pliers- you'll need a pair of clippers depending on how long your eye pins are and needle nose pliers. To make it even easier, get two pairs of needle nose pliers- one for each hand– makes a world of difference!
Total cost? Less than $10 (not including the pliers which I already had). The whole bead department was 25%-50% off, which really made a huge difference in the final cost. I'm really excited about how much it came out to be considering that most of the bib/statement necklaces I see in the store run upwards of $30-$40!
Step 1: To prepare your beads, string an eye pin through each bead. Bend the end at a 90* angle, and then, using your needle nose pliers, loop the bent end around into a loop so that you have a loop coming out of each end of the bead.
*Note- if your eye pins are longer, you may have to clip them- I left about 3/8″ of the wire to form the loop with.
One completed bead.
Do this for all of your beads. For my pattern, I needed all 40 beads, so I got to work! This part is time consuming, but easy.
Next, lay out your beads. I drew up this sketch to decide how I wanted to use my beads (and to make sure I had enough to complete the pattern I had come up with in my head.)
Here are the beads all laid out- I like to put out a piece of felt to "hold" the beads. They don't slide/roll around as much as they would on a normal tabletop surface.
If you look in my sketch above, I used pink pen to mark off where all the jump rings will go. Carefully open your jump ring, and start at one end and start joining beads together. Work slowly and carefully, and use those needle nose pliers to hold the jump ring so your fingers don't get in the way. Make sure you work methodically so that each bead goes on in order. After you close the jump ring back up, lay the beads down so that you make sure everything is perfect before moving on. In the photo below, you can see that I started working on the top right hand side (and worked toward the middle). I started on the right and worked inward until I got to the middle, and then went up to the left and worked inward. I joined the center circle of beads last.
In this picture, you can see that I used large jump rings on majority of the necklace except for a few of the connections along the bottom edge. If only two beads were connecting, I used a small jump ring.
Also, when I held it up, I noticed that there was a "gap", so I strung up my last two beads and added them in. If something isn't working for you (as it may not depending on the size and shape of your beads) just re-work it until it does!
Once you have all of your beads lined up, attach the chain to the two edges.
Stand back and admire your finished piece and find some place to go so you can show it off!
If this is too complicated for you, fear not – JoAnn's now carries pre-made necklace parts – this is literally two parts – the chain and the beading itself. They have all these beaded bottoms and you can mix/match them with different chains and accessories. This isn't an affiliate post – I just think they're awesome! This necklace took about 5 minutes to put together!


text: I have been so conflicted... I have a monogram Speedy 25, I love it so much. I never like things that I see a lot of but it's just totally classic, it holds up so well, it's great for evening too as it's small and it works with everything I wear. But I would really like to get a mono Speedy 30-- I fell in love with the "Speedy sag" and plus it's bigger and I tend to go for the larger available sizes of a style in bags (except the Speedy as it seems). Anyone else have BOTH sizes in the -same- monogramed style? I'm afraid I won't use the 25 anymore if I get a 30, but I know I wouldn't be able to get rid of it because it's now sentimental, it's BEEN places, and I love it. It's something I really can't make my mind up on, but I would like the 30, and I do like the monogram so I don't think I'd want a Damier, for example... If you have both sizes in the same style, whether monogramed, Damier, or MiniLin, what do you use them for-- like do you use one size for running around and errands and the other for other specific occasions? Thanks!

I believe the problem with the ruby situation wasn't that the monolithic ruby distribution was split up; but that there was no clear way to install the lot in one go, without prior knowledge of what the whole distribution was: a simple meta-package with the correct dependencies was all that was missing. -- Jon Dowland http://alcopop.org/

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a genetic disorder of autosomal recessive transmission, characterized by photosensitivity, pigmentary changes, premature skin aging and malignant tumour development due to cellular hypersensitivity to ultraviolet radiation. This hypersensitivity results from a defect in DNA repair. The XP is known to have multiple cutaneous malignancies in sun exposed areas, which are usually treated by surgery. The surgical excision of the tumor should be complete and oncologically safe, as the use of postoperative radiotherapy is controversial. This case report describes synchronous basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma occurring at the head and neck region of a young individual with xeroderma pigmentosum. Here, attempts have been made to highlight the difficulties encountered in such individuals while managing lesions located in close proximity to each other.
Key words: Xeroderma pigmantosum, synchronous malignancies, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, hypersensitivity

American artist Rachel Sommer just finished her last piece in Gainesville, Florida, for the Grove Street Neighborhood.
The key dropping from the dancer's hand points to the fact that no one else can make you grow, only you have the power to do that.
The message behind this mural is that we only have the capacity to free ourselves from self imposed boundaries and that Change must comes from within.
"I wanted viewers to look at this mural and see part of themselves and to give some hope to people who are still going through something personal and difficult; or to remember a struggle they went through and have overcome."
About The Grove Street Neighborhood
The Grove Street Neighborhood Murals Project is a community project that aims to beautify and revitalize the historic, inner city Grove Street Neighborhood in Gainesville, Florida. Founded by award winners and community activists Iryna Kanishcheva and Maria Huff Edwards. The project is curated by Iryna Kanishcheva, coordinated by the neighborhood leader Maria Huff Edwards, with the help of volunteers and neighborhood supporters. The Grove Street Neighborhood sees murals as an artistic tool towards its further stabilization, beautification, and restoration.

How To prevent Alzheimer's and Dementia
Tai Chi
Tai Chi
Dementia Questionnaire
What pre-dementia symptoms events do you have the most off?
Dementia is actually a term for many forms of memory loss. Alzheimer's Disease is a severe form of Dementia. Some forms of dementia can be prevented and possibly reversed, especially if it was a stroke sometimes people can't talk at first but if they try to keep talking and work at it sometimes they can bounce back, this type is vascular dementia it is defined by damage caused to your brain by stroke or heart attack. or bleeding stroke. Head trauma is one of the main causes of dementia.I have spent most of my adult life caring for Alzheimer's and Dementia clients and as an activities director, it is necessary for me to learn all I can to help clients in the best way possible. Alzheimer's can be "set back" or prevented in a way, but it cannot be avoided altogether. With Alzheimer's, the only real way to officially tell is an X-ray. Many people are afraid they have dementia, lots of times they are undernourished and sleep deprived or just plain overworked. People who stress out need to take time out and relax. Stress can cause high cholesterol which clogs arteries, which is connected to strokes and heart attacks and can affect people with vascular dementia. Sometimes urinary track infection or thyroid problems mimic dementia. Be sure to check those first. One Doctor told me that people who have to multitask need time to walk or exercise and sort themselves out, because they are burdened daily with too much. This can cause symptoms of dementia as well.
Things you can do to help
- Walking and being aware of your surroundings, don't put on the i pod and tune out, take it all in naturally.
- Tai chi is helpful for Parkinson's Disease and new breakthrough studies say it helps with dementia as well.
- Word search and Crossword puzzles help too.
- Practice basic math & arithmetic
- Exercise and weight training, keeps you focused and strong
- Plan a party & have an adult conversation or visit friends
- Laugh for one minute it releases endorphin's to relieve stress
- Old fashioned games like charades & card games
- Any cognitively stimulating activities, clubs and organizations help.
- Eat antioxidant foods, blueberries,cranberries,apples, cherries and plums. Believe it or not number one is red beans! Also coconut oil, milk & vitamin C too are helpful.
- Take care of a pet they are comforting and help you to remember to care for it.
- One cup Coffee in the morning can help you be more awake, but too much can constrict blood supply.
Great ideas for relaxation

Recommended readings
Many people are afraid they have dementia, lots of times they are undernourished and sleep deprived or just plain overworked. Get plenty of rest drink your daily amount of water and see if you react better to life situations. Use crutches like:
- Using the pill boxes with the days of the week on it.
- A diary really helps too write down things you did everyday and use it like a to do list too.
- Keep a calendar and write down appointments up on the fridge.
- Take time out and relax, detox with a cup of green tea.
- If its too noisy and hectic in the house lock yourself in the bathroom and give yourself a nice long hot bath.
- Take a ride out to the lake and listen to your favorite CD.
- Write down all the things that bother you and then decide if you really want to change things and how you want to change it.
Some people are in denial about having dementia. It is important to identify the facts if you have it and prepare for your future. Start making plans about who will help take care of you and your finances. Who will take care of you when you cannot cook or clean. Sometimes just having a caregiver come in and fix meals and help you with taking medications will take the burden off off you and your family.
this is a wonderful hub. Very helpful, informative and I have a family member who we suspect is getting Dementia. Thanks for the information and signs. Voted UP and all across. Thanks for sharing your talent, that is so helpful to me and, Im sure, others.
Good information. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for sharing this helpful information friend.
It seems as if we take care of ourselves and exercise our bodies and our brains, we can hold onto our mental sharpness a bit longer. Good ideas here.

Teacher Acussed Of Being A "Perv" Wins Defamation Suit Against Students
A Catholic School teacher in San Jose is probably sleeping a little sounder this week after winning a defamation lawsuit with prurient implications.
Tweens Cause Torment For Gym Teacher
This case and trial sounds like a sub-plot from the movie "Saved". In summary, a group of girls at the Holy Spirit school in Almaden Valley accused a gym teacher, John Fischler, of being a "perv" and "creeper" who was peeking into the female locker room when he shouldn't have been.
As you might imagine, the accusations spread like wildfire through the community and caused tremendous torment for Fischler and family. Adamant that the accusations were the fabrications of mean girls, he decided to sue.
Gym Teachers Says, "Oh Yeah!? See You In Court!"
So off to the Santa Clara County Superior Court the parties went to argue their points. According to reports, during the trial, one of the accusers left the witness stand to perform cheerleading moves for the jury. The impromptu show flopped. Instead of finding the routine cute, the jurors sat stone faced, visibly put off by the girl's demeanor. They also weren't impressed by the defendants' propensity to giggle during proceedings.
Ultimately, after both sides rested their cases, the 12 jurors ruled in favor of the teacher to the tune of $362,653.
Gym Teacher: 1; Tweens: 0
The decision was mostly on the fact that the parents didn't take their complaints to the school immediately. Instead, they took the rumourmongering route. The jury wondered: if children were being subjected to sexual inappropriateness from a teacher, wouldn't the parents make a bee line for the principal's office? Moreover, law enforcement and school officials eventually investigated the matter and cleared Fischler of all charges. Yet, the gossiping parents continued with their loud whisper campaign.
Who Has To Pay Since The Defendants Were Minors?
It's unlikely that 10 and 11 year old girls have a few hundred thousand lying around in case of legal emergency. So who has to pay the damages? Guess what folks: the parents are financially responsible. #sayonarasanta
What can we learn from this defamation case?
- Don't giggle in court;
- Refrain from engaging in impromptu performances during legal proceedings; and
- Steer clear of your community's gossip mill – especially after an allegation has and law enforcement officials have cleared the suspect.

Re: whatever
Hi Joy. I just took a look at your posts and I don't think anyone was trying to say you weren't welcome there. They were trying to direct you to the main forum. Your post was on a subforum for journals (kind of like people's personal diaries) so not everyone was going to see your post there. You are very welcome on the August DDC. It's a really great board and I am sure you will love it there. I would post a hello on the main forum. Here's the link.

Hi Joy! As host of the August 2011 Due Date Club, I want to assure you that you are very welcome to post on our board. I didn't see any posts from you on the board, but I don't often read the journals so that's why I missed it. Please feel free to pop in and introduce yourself.

Re: whatever
joy - I am sorry that you felt that I was making you unwelcomed, I was just trying to stear you to the main forum where you could actually meet the other ladies of the DDC, since your post wouldn't be noticed in those 2 subforums.
If you'd post an intro on the main board I know the ladies would love to meet you.
I hope you don't leave over the misunderstanding :(

No. 13 Ohio St rolls in 55-14 win over Illinois
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Curtis Samuel ran for two touchdowns and J.T. Barrett hit Devin Smith on two scoring passes — all in the first half — and No. 13 Ohio State beat Illinois 55-14 on Saturday night, extending the Buckeyes' Big Ten win streak to a record-tying 20.
The Buckeyes (7-1, 4-0, No. 16 CFP) won their sixth in a row — five by lopsided scores. Now they head into the game of the year in the conference, at defending champion Michigan State next week.
Donovonn Young's 5-yard run late in the third quarter broke up the shutout for the Illini (4-5, 1-4). They have dropped four of five.
Barrett, nursing a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee and wearing a brace, left at halftime with the Buckeyes up 31-0. He completed 15 of 24 passes for 167 yards.
He gave way to Cardale Jones, who lofted a picture-perfect 27-yard TD pass to Dontre Wilson and also hit Michael Thomas on a 19-yard scoring pass. Jones was 5 of 9 for 82 yards passing.
After their first possession of the second half, Illinois quarterbacks Reilly O'Toole and Aaron Bailey had combined for 58 yards passing — and 56 of them came on O'Toole's completion to Mike Dudek.
Dudek set the school mark for yards receiving by a freshman on the play.
Bailey, 9 of 16 for 79 yards without an interception, completed a 7-yard TD pass to tight end Matt LaCosse to close the scoring. O'Toole ended up 4 of 11 for 58 yards with two interceptions.
Samuel ran for 63 yards on nine carries and Ezekiel Elliott had 69 on nine for the Buckeyes, who have won the last six meetings.
The Buckeyes substituted heavily in the second half while a crowd of 106,961 left early as the score mounted. The game was played in windy conditions with temperatures in the mid-30s.
The 20th consecutive Big Ten regular-season win matched the mark set by Ohio State teams from 2005-07.
Unlike a week ago, when the Buckeyes rolled to a 17-0 halftime lead at Penn State only to struggle before pulling out a 31-24 victory in double overtime, this one was a landslide early.
The Buckeyes relied on the Illini's largesse in the opening half.
Illinois threw two interceptions — both of which were off receivers' hands — and also lost a fumble. The Buckeyes failed on two fourth-down runs deep in opposition territory, punted once — and scored on the other five possessions.
O'Toole was intercepted by Darron Lee nine plays after the opening kickoff, with the Buckeyes taking just three plays to cover 38 yards. Samuel — who got the start in place of leading rusher Elliott — covered the final 23 yards untouched.
Barrett hit Smith on a 32-yard scoring toss to make it 17-0 before Samuel split two tacklers on a 1-yard plunge. Barrett found Smith on an 8-yard score for a 31-0 halftime lead.
The Illini were hurt by their own mistakes. Twice they were called for chop blocks to stifle drives and coach Tim Beckman, already on the hot seat after going just 10-23 in three seasons, was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct call for berating the officials.
The officials also had an off night. They whistled an Ohio State punt dead because the Illini had 12 men on the field, but then it was determined that the refs had miscounted. The Illini had the allotted 11. No flag.
An official also left his microphone on throughout the halftime show and it was easy to hear laughter and small talk as the band performed.
It was that kind of night.

OK, so Week 1 went well. I had one lunch out, so it was 2 lunches of the burritos and 2 lunches of the Italian Wedding Soup, as previewed here. The Italian Wedding Soup, honestly, was not that great to begin with, and holding it for a few days didn't improve the gumminess of the pasta. Not sure what the answer is, but it's worth trying freezing it.
The burritos were good, though, although a little bland.
I jazzed them up with some Sriracha from the portable supply Santa gave me for Xmas.
So there are 5 burritos — frozen — left over from last week, and the plan is to use 2-3 of them this week.
The other lunch comes from Peruvian Vegetable Soup, which I found under the catchy title "How to Make Soup That Actually Fills You Up" on a site called FullPlate which touts a "majority fiber-rich" approach to dieting where 50-75% of your meal or snack should be a "fiber-rich" food (not to be confused with "fiber"; "fiber-rich" foods wants you to eat all kinds of vegetables and fruits as well as beans and such-like in order to eat things with a lower calorie density).
FullPlate is my latest diet gimmick. Have I explained about me and diets? What I've found about myself is that I get great results from a diet for the first few months (call it 2-4), and then my zeal flags. Answer? Refresh the diet gimmick every 3-5 months. I don't much care what the diet is as long as I have zeal for it, and by renewing the gimmick I can recharge my zeal.
So anyhow, I ran across the FullPlate diet reading and experimenting with Jane McGonigal's SuperBetter book and self-improvement scheme. I don't know how FullPlate and she got together, but they are one of the "Quests" in the superbetter.com system, and they seemed simple (no measuring and looking up calorie counts) as well as the system seemed to work.
In any case, Peruvian Vegetable Soup is essentially a boatload of fiber-rich vegetables, beans, and qunoa united by a tomato-ey and cumin-ey broth. The soup is designed (on purpose, says creator Amy Hanus) to be eaten in 3-cup portions, so it's a huge slug of vegetables. Reminds of me of a brief flirtation years ago with the Ornish 10% fat diet, where Debbie and I would gorge ourselves on vegetable stews and medleys of one sort or another. It was OK.
So I ended up with four portions for lunches and a dinner last night for Debbie and me.
On a scale of Italian Wedding Soup to Burritos it's probably 2/3 of the way to Burritos, so it'll probably make its way into the lineup.
Still on the lookout for fiber-rich lunches that I can make ahead and freeze. I'll publicize my efforts with anything you send me, along with a shout out to your blog or other social media. Let me know.

A Nairobi-based renewable energy company, PowerGen has raised US$4.5 million from numerous investors to enlarge its portfolio and reach many more customers.
The company was launched back in the year 2011; PowerGen concentrates on the challenges of renewable energy and energy access in the East African region via independently-operated small-scale electricity set-ups or micro-grids.
Since launch, it has provided thousands of clienteles across seven states, such as Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya, with clean, renewable energy – off-grid solar and wind power systems.
PowerGen plans to utilize the new resources in spreading out its existing micro-grid portfolio, thus supplying more than 7,500 consumers with connections to the grid and giving an additional 50,000 people access to electricity within the next two years.
"In the past, the people who broke the new ground of wireless telecommunications made a huge gamble that African customers would want world -class mobile communications service, and they went on to invest seriously in the infrastructure to convey it by constructing thousands of telecoms towers all over the continent," said Sam Slaughter, PowerGen's CEO.
He also added, "And the outcome is there: African telecoms have now notably leapfrogged the West, for example, bypassing out-of-date landline infrastructure and structuring mobile payment systems that many of the Western states are yet to see. There is a related opportunity in the present day in the power sector."
Leading the Series A funding round is DOB Equity, a Dutch Family Office, with AHL Venture Partners and private investors Marc Beuls, former President and CEO of Millicom International Cellular, and Billy Harbert, CEO of BL Harbert International, participating.
Powergen Technologies Ltd has gained a great deal of experience over the years as Engineering Services provider. They are aggressively involved in providing Electrical and other Engineering services to numerous clients.
They have a lineup of extremely qualified Engineers and skilled staff, up to date equipment and competent quality management structures, to convey the services to their well-regarded clients.

Iran cracks down on efforts to provide higher education for Baha'i youth
- Iran has stepped up its crackdown on efforts by the Bahá'í community to educate its young people
- In May, authorities raided numerous homes where volunteer faculty and staff provide young Bahá'ís with an informal university education, arresting many of them and then declaring their effort illegal
- The Bahá'í International Community has issued an open letter to the Minister of Education, asking: "Why is the government so ruthless in the face of the earnestness of Bahá'í youth to obtain higher education?"
- Around the world, governments, academicians and others have condemned Iran's actions
For more than 30 years, the Iranian government has blocked young Bahá'ís from obtaining a university education. Shortly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Bahá'í students were banned from public and private colleges in Iran — and Bahá'í faculty members were fired.
In response, the Iranian Bahá'í community formed in 1987 the Bahá'í Institute for Higher Education (BIHE), an informal university where classes were held mostly in people's homes, taught by unemployed Bahá'í professors on a volunteer basis.
For the most part, the government has turned a blind eye to this effort, although authorities did try unsuccessfully in 1998 to close it down. The government, which was entirely aware of BIHE, seemed content to allow Bahá'ís a tiny space in which to educate their youth.
In recent months, however, the authorities have undertaken a renewed suppression of the BIHE, prompting international expressions of concern and offering new evidence of Iran's seemingly endless disregard for human rights of any sort.
The new clampdown began in May, when the government without warning raided more than 30 Bahá'í homes where the Institute operated, arresting 14 faculty and staff.
In June, the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology declared that the BIHE was "illegal." Then, in July, 11 of BIHE detainees were accused of "conspiracy against national security" and "conspiracy against the Islamic Republic of Iran."
"Bahá'ís have been banned from higher education for three decades," said Diane Ala'i, the Bahá'í International Community's representative to the United Nations in Geneva, in a press release in July. "And now, their own peaceful initiative — to meet a need created by the government's own actions — is branded a conspiracy against the state."
Government action against the BIHE continued through July and August. In all, around 80 Bahá'ís involved in the Institute's activities have been detained and interrogated. Those questioned included not only faculty and staff but also students of the Institute.
In August, the Bahá'í International Community appealed directly to the Iranian government, issuing an open letter to Kamran Daneshjoo, the Minister of Science, Research, and Technology.
That five-page letter recounted the long history of government oppression aimed at young Bahá'ís seeking a university education. At its heart, the letter asked this question:
"Why is the government so ruthless in the face of the earnestness of Bahá'í youth to obtain higher education?"
The letter noted that the government has made it official policy since 1991 to "block" the "progress and development" of the entire Bahá'í community — including by expelling young Bahá'ís from universities should they manage to enroll — something that has happened to hundreds of Bahá'ís over the years.
It also described efforts in the latter part of the last decade to prevent Bahá'ís from enrolling through a series of deceptive tactics that offered Bahá'ís a chance to take the national university entrance examination, only to later list their results as "incomplete," thus preventing enrollment.
"And now a fresh measure of tribulation has befallen the Bahá'ís, as they are subjected to harsh treatment in interrogations about their involvement with their informal efforts for the education of youth," said the letter to Minister Daneshjoo.
"Individuals who assist with the educational program are threatened with imprisonment. Parents who host classes are notified that their homes will be expropriated if the classes continue. And students are warned against attending their classes and are instructed that they will never obtain a higher education so long as they do not abandon their faith and declare themselves to be Muslims.
"Individuals who assist with the educational program are threatened with imprisonment. Parents who host classes are notified that their homes will be expropriated if the classes continue. And students are warned against attending their classes and are instructed that they will never obtain a higher education so long as they do not abandon their faith and declare themselves to be Muslims.
— Bahá'í International Community
"Yet, when the representatives of your government are confronted with these facts in the international arena, they continue to maintain that no one is deprived of education in Iran on account of his or her religion. How regrettable that the representatives of the Islamic Republic repeatedly peddle such obvious falsehoods, further undermining your government's credibility.
"When will the officials in Iran bring to an end the entrenched practice of saying one thing to Bahá'ís while offering a range of conflicting reassurances on the global stage?" said the letter.
International reaction
And, indeed, the reaction on the "global stage" has been rapid. Numerous governments and non-governmental organizations have issued expressions of concern since the renewed crackdown on BIHE in an outcry that has spanned the world, from Australia to Zambia.
In the United States, on 24 May, Senator Mark Kirk issued a strong condemnation of the BIHE arrests, calling for immediate action. "The Iranian dictators should not be allowed to trample their citizens' basic human rights. I pledge to redouble our efforts in the Senate on behalf of the Iranian Bahá'í community and all citizens of Iran who yearn for human rights, freedom and democracy."
In Austria, on 1 June, Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger described the restriction of access to education for young Bahá'ís as "unacceptable."
In Brazil, on 2 June, Congressman Luiz Couto, former president of Brazil's Human Rights and Minorities Commission, told the Brazilian National Congress, "The action of the authorities towards individuals associated with the BIHE demonstrate the clear intention of Iranian government to carry out their policy of the elimination of the Bahá'í community."
In Germany, on 9 June, Christoph Strasser, Member of Parliament and spokesperson on human rights of the Social Democrats, addressed a letter of protest to the Iranian ambassador to Germany. "All humans have the right to education," wrote Mr. Strasser. "With Bahá'ís being prohibited from studying at universities, your government is injuring fundamental human rights."
In the United Kingdom, professors from Oxford, Cambridge and other leading universities in England wrote an open letter on 11 June, calling for academics, students and politicians to support the right of Bahá'ís to access higher education in Iran. "The authorities must be taught that human rights are universal," they wrote to The Guardian newspaper. "Barring Bahá'ís from university exposes the government's own ignorance."
In Chile, on 15 June, the Senate unanimously asked President Sebastian Pinera to "strongly condemn" Iran for its "rigorous and systematic persecution of Bahá'ís." The resolution specifically objected to the "unjust detention" of BIHE faculty and staff.
In Canada, on 21 June, Senator Mobina Jaffer — the first Muslim woman appointed to Canada's upper house — informed the Senate that the attacks are "not only on the students and the faculty of the Bahá'í education institute, but on the cherished idea that education is the birthright of all."
In Australia, on 28 June, Universities Australia — representing all 39 of the country's universities — raised the issue with the Director-General of UNESCO. "Australian universities are united in their strong support for facilitating access to education for all, irrespective of religious faith," the organization wrote.
In India, some 80 prominent citizens signed a petition to the Iranian Government calling for the immediate and unconditional release of the prisoners. "The consequences of this policy of disallowing the Bahá'í youth to have access to higher education will be detrimental not only for the Bahá'í community of Iran, but also for the nation as a whole," they wrote.
And in Zambia, students at the University of Zambia in June launched a two-week long postcard campaign "in support of BIHE and the right to education." The postcard depicted Zambian students on one side and, on the other, a message for Iran's minister of science, research and technology stating "Bahá'ís should be able to enter universities as faculty and staff and as students who can get a degree."

Injuries may force Doocy into retirement
Jockey Tim Doocy said Friday that the injuries he sustained in a morning training accident last winter at Oaklawn will probably force his retirement, but he wants to see how he continues to progress in his physical therapy before making a final call on his career. Doocy, 54, has made great strides in his rehabilitation since fracturing his left kneecap, ankle, and tibia on Dec. 7.
"I'm not sure if I'll be able to get to ride again or not," he said. "I'm coming along good. But I don't think I'll ever get the full bend in my knees back. I haven't really decided [on retirement]. The only thing I'm worrying about is trying to get this leg as good as it can be for the rest of my life and then go from there."
Doocy, a winner of more than 5,000 races, was injured when a horse he was pulling up from a workout was hit by an oncoming outrider and pony team who were chasing a loose horse. The outrider escaped serious injury while both of the horses died on impact.
In the week that followed, Doocy had surgeries on his ankle and kneecap and had a rod placed in his tibia. He said he was on crutches until about a month ago and has been going to therapy three days a week in Hot Springs, Ark. He said the sessions last about two hours each.
"From there, I go to the 'Y' and work out and then hit the pool," Doocy said. "I've got to get everything as close to normal as I can. It's come a long way, but I've got a long way to go."
In April 2009 at Oaklawn, Doocy became the 24th rider in North America to reach 5,000 wins. His mounts have earned more than $66 million. His best mounts include Restless Con, with whom he won the Haskell; Chindi, a millionaire sprinter; and Dust On the Bottle, winner of the Hawthorne Gold Cup.
Doocy rode his first winner at the now-shuttered Commodore Downs in Erie, Pa., in 1974. He would go on to win titles at Longacres, Oaklawn, Prairie Meadows, Remington Park, and different tracks in Nebraska.
"I've had a good career," he said. "I've met a lot of good people. I've been doing this for 35 years. It's something I love to do."
Valenzuela suspended 15 days
Jockey Patrick Valenzuela was suspended 15 days by the New Mexico Racing Commission on Wednesday for an April 24 incident at SunRay Park in which a number of jockeys refused to ride in a dispute over mount fees. The track was forced to cancel the card. Valenzuela did not return a call seeking comment.
Valenzuela, who is currently riding at Louisiana Downs, was also fined $1,500. In all, 18 riders were suspended by the commission, with some of their cases having been heard in May. Most jockeys have received a one-day suspension and a fine of $400, but Valenzuela and Jimmy Coates Jr. received steeper penalties because their roles in the incident were prominent, according to officials with the commission.
In other business, the commission has granted Sunland Park a 77-date mixed meet that will run from Dec. 10, 2010, to April 19, 2011.
Dates requests from the remainder of the state's tracks will be considered at an upcoming meeting. Zia Park has asked for a 53-date mixed meet for 2011, from Sept. 10 to Dec. 6; Ruidoso Downs has asked for a 60-date mixed meet for next year, from May 27 to Sept. 5; SunRay Park is seeking a 44-date mixed meet in 2011, from April 22-July 5; and the Downs at Albuquerque has asked for a 2011 mixed meet that would extend from Aug. 12 to Oct. 16.
La Mesa Park in Raton has applied for a 60-date mixed meet that would open in late May and continue into September. However, the track has not run the dates they received for 2010, which was expected to be their inaugural season, and as a result could face penalties from the commission in a case that has been continued to July 21.
Horsemen to meet with track leaders
Horsemen on July 1 will have a chance to ask members of the management teams of Lone Star Park, Retama Park, and Sam Houston questions about their proposal to consolidate Thoroughbred race dates for 2011. The general meeting will begin at 11 a.m. Central in the sales pavilion at Lone Star.
* Winning Tale, a promising 3-year-old filly by Tale of the Cat, will test her skills against a competitive group of older fillies and mares in a $17,500 optional claiming allowance Sunday at Louisiana Downs. The race will be run at about five furlongs on turf. Others in the field include Time Well Spent and Blue Angel.

Arrival into the United States
San Juan Travel Blog› entry 9 of 9 › view all entries
The flight from Grenada to San Juan, Puerto Rico was fairly peaceful. And a lot shorter than I had originally imagined!
The San Juan airport is about as basic as any US airport is, although I must say, the city looks nice. I was suitably impressed, sort of looks like a hispanic version of Miami with the same blue beaches and all. Perhaps I can visit here someday?! Anyway finished immigration, customs and hd a pizza as I was starving.
And then came the San Juan - Dallas AA flight!
Good Lord! It's about 5 hours! It was an absolute bore, not to mention something wrong with the A/C I reckon, because it was cold in there. I had my jacket and my cap on and it was still cold! Anyway reached Dallas in the afternoon, our plane passing by the BA plane fresh off a flight from LHR and you can only imagine what I started thinking.
Had a friend who picked me up, and I came home to some wonderful 50F/10C weather. Unpacked the nutmeg curios I got myself, and I actually had a toast bread with nutmeg jam. LOL!
Another trip done! I really can't believe how quickly time flew, but more importantly how much fun I had given the short amt of time I had for planing. Grenada is an amazing country, a lot less touristy compared to other parts of the Caribbean and despite its size and "lack of" things to do on tourism websites, I still felt there was sufficient to do in this country for 10 days - have a busy day and yet find time to relax by the beach during sunset and there after. My one standing memory of the country will be on the first day when I saw that Virgin Atlantic jumbo parked at the airport 1/4th its size, with hoardes of tourists disembarking in not the "easiest" of airports, which told me that those airport hardships are worth for everything else it has to offer to visitors. There's genuine warmth, genuine trust and close-to-zero violence. For a country that looks so "bare" in terms of tourism-safety, it really is one of the safest places I've seen.
THANKS AGAIN Grenada for the lovely week, and hope to see you soon!

tweeted its congratulations to Nihilistic Software, the apparent developer of the series' NGP incarnation (which was revealed in a promo reel of in-development games for the handheld during PlayStation Meeting 2011). Insomniac confirmed in a followup tweet that the title would be a "brand new Resistance game. Not a port."
While Insomniac has handled all of the Resistance console iterations, including this September's Resistance 3, the well-recieved 2009 PSP spinoff, Resistance: Retribution, was developed by Sony Bend. With Bend currently linked to the Uncharted NGP game, however, it seems Nihilistic got the call to carry on the Resistance for the PSP successor.
Little else is known about the title, aside from what can be inferred from the brief clip (pictured) in the promo reel -- which does seem to indicate that, unlike Retribution (a third-person shooter), Resistance NGP will be a first-person shooter. Nihilistic is perhaps most (infamously) known for being the original developer of the failed StarCraft: Ghost project, before going on to complete Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects (EA), Conan (THQ) and the downloadable Zombie Apocalypse (Konami). The studio is currently finishing up PlayStation Move Heroes, published by Sony.
[Thanks, Brian]

The Calvary Baptist Church was an interior renovation of approximately 74,610 square feet. The interior was organized into (6) areas based on function or age group including Preschool/School classrooms, Youth activity areas, Administrative offices, Adult Classrooms, a Fellowship Hall and a central Sanctuary/Worship space. The facility was previously a grocery retail with adequate ceiling height for classroom and office functions, although the roof over the Sanctuary space was removed and raised to create additional ceiling height and a column-free space capable of seating 800.
The Calvary Baptist Church interior was organized to take full advantage of the existing restaurant, kitchen and dining areas for the Fellowship Hall function, complete with direct outside access and a covered drop-off area. Similarly, the Preschool/School children's classrooms take advantage of a separate entrance and covered drop-off as well. A new entry tower feature was added at the main entrance and exterior finishes were updated to provide a clean, fresh look to the exterior.

Is William helping Kate's parents to buy a home?
The Duke of Cambridge (in pic) is said to be assisting Michael and Carole Middleton in their purchase of a �4.7 million (Rs 41 crore) manor house in Berkshire.
Since it was disclosed last month that Michael and Carole Middleton were interested in buying a Georgian manor house in their Berkshire village, speculation has grown about how the Duchess of Cambridge's parents could afford the £4.7 million cost of moving up the property ladder. The solution to the mystery may be close at hand.
The Duke of Cambridge, who inherits £10 million when he turns 30 on Thursday, is said to be assisting the Middletons with the purchase. "William regards them as family and is always keen to help, in any way he can," says one of the Prince's friends. William is said to understand that the couple are buying a new property to give him and Kate more privacy when they make their regular visits.
St James's Palace did not deny that the future king may be contributing financially to the Middletons' house purchase. A spokesman described the claim as "speculative", saying, "It simply isn't something we could comment on." The spokesman said the Middletons are not, though, buying the property on behalf of the Duke and Duchess.

Ham Radio Themed Band Makes Comeback
By K5OY, on the scene
Dublin, Northern Ireland — The CQ 20s are back! The rock trio recognized as the only music group devoted entirely to ham radio will be taking the stage Saturday at the Dew and Brew Pub on O'Connell Street.
The iconic trio was formed in 1966 by bassist/vocalist Drake Bruce, a twin who was inspired by Paul McCartney. Drake came to prominence when he wired a 3CX1500A7 into his Vox amplifier. The subsequent jump from 100 to 3000 watts output into eight 15" JBLs forever cemented his place in British rock history. Commenting on Drake's sound quality, ex-Beatle McCartney noted, "I don't think I've ever fancied anything like that."
The CQs big break came when Drake added guitarist Derrick "Slow Fist" Hampton and drummer Ginger "Moon" Raker. Slow Fist remains unparalleled in his touch on the fret board, developing a single finger hammer on style that preceded Eddie Van Halen by 20 years. "Moon" Raker can still beat the snare at an incredible 300 times a minute. Some say he talks to the others with his drum beat alone.
The history of the CQ 20s is one of superstardom that was not to be. Regional hits did come. "Bounce Me Off The Moon" and "Tropo Through The Tulips," while popular in their hometown of Ballyshannon, did not catch on in London. In a deep funk, Hampton got hooked on digital before it became popular. He eventually ended up as a roadie for Depeche Mode, a job he held for 25 years. Raker became addicted to what amateur radio operators call the 48 hour contest bug.
Forsaking all else, he would barricade himself in a ham shack from Friday till Sunday. The group had to, eventually, cancel all weekend shows and on weekdays, he was so racked out from his weekends that he had to be physically carried to and from his kit. His sad decline does have a happy ending,though. An 80 meter support net got him out of his room and back to numerous ham fests and club meetings where he still makes a lividng selling used equipment. Drake eventually settled back to his current home in County Donegal where successful experiments with a Klystron 5CX3000A/8966 in a Marshall stack prompted, not only a successful after-market power amp business, but this weekend's reunion as well.
The original legend lives on Saturday at 1000 UTC. Tickets for the CQ 20s are £16.00 and available at the Dew and Brew on O'Connell just off Eden Quay and all O'Brien music outlets.

This guide to boosting your WiFi signal will help you get a wider wireless range, and faster internet speed. A good wireless network is a fantastic addition to the home. Getting faster, more reliable internet with a wider range is a bonus for everybody in the home. This guide to improving your WiFi connection has tips that provide a faster, more reliable and wider range network.
Everybody wants a better wireless internet connection at home. A faster connection means web pages load more quickly, YouTube and iPlayer stream smoother, and downloads arrive faster.
Boosting your WiFi will allow you to use devices further away from it: in more rooms in the house, or out in the garden. Because wireless internet deteriorates with range, improving WiFi means that you'll get faster speed when close to the router.
A more reliable connection means fewer frustrating dropouts, and fewer instances when your home internet stops working.
These tips will help you get a faster, and more reliable internet.

Get information about the wireless networks
A good way to get started is with information on which router you are using. Hold down the Option key [wondering what the Option key is, find out here] while clicking on the AirPort icon (the WiFi icon in the Mac bar in the top right of your screen) in macOS to get more information about the wireless network you are connected to.
macOS AirPort information is great, but we find iStumbler to be a much better tool for getting detailed information about on wireless networks. The latest version is iStumbler 102. iStumbler gives you detailed information about the wireless networks available. Things to look out for are:
- Protocol: Typically b, g, n, ac this is the type of internet the service is providing.
- Level: The signal strength.
- Signal. The strength of the signal in dB (decibels). Because it is a negative number, you want low digits. -37 is better than -47, for example.
- Noise: The amount of noise in dBm (decibel-milliwatts). Because this is also a negative number you want higher digits -92 is better than -72, for example.
- Channel. This is the channel that your WiFi router is operating on. Channels are no better than each other, but look at how many routers in the neighbourhood are operating in your channel. Consider switching to an emptier channel if one is available.
- Band. Two options are available 2.4Ghz or 5GHz. Again the amount of competition from other routers will be displayed in iStumbler.
- Width. Either 20 or 40MHz. Double width band provides faster internet to devices that support it.
There is more information available in iStumber, and it's a good app to get to know. Especially if you use a MacBook and periodically look for wireless hotspots.
Switch to an 802.11n or 802.11ac router
There are different types of router around, all using a standard known as 802.11. The old style of router called 802.11g is still prevalent, but it runs much slower than the 802.11n, or 802.11ac type.
iStumbler will let you know which protocol your router is using. Most modern routers use the n standard, if not you might want to consider investing in a new router. Ask your service provider about an upgrade.
Read next: How to fix WiFi connection problems on Mac
Switch to a 5GHz band
If your router has the option to operate in either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band, you should opt for a wider (5GHz) band. Not all devices can operate in the 5GHz band, but it's been around for a while so unless you're using an older device it should work just fine.
Buy and install Apple AirPort Extreme
If your router is a little old, and you cannot get an upgrade from your provider, then should consider investing in a new AirPort Extreme. You can buy one of these Apple AirPort routers and connect it to your current internet modem.
The AirPort Extreme has dual antennae and can provide both a WiFi 802.11b, g, n network in 2.4GHz mode and a faster 802.11 n, ac network operating in the 5GHz band.
See: Apple AirPort Time Capsule review - Apple's new look network storage solution impresses
Attach an AirPort Extreme to your current router, and it will bridge to the network providing you with a brand new up-to-date wireless connection alongside your current wireless router.
Move your router
Try moving your router to a more central position in the house (or closer to the area where you want to use it. A closer position to where you work will improve the signal in that area.
Get a WiFi booster
If your router has a removable aerial then consider connecting a high gain antenna. Hawking Tech sells a range of solutions that can boost your wireless range.
Read: Mac WiFi not working? How to fix WiFi problems.
Find free channels
If iStumbler is reporting much competition from other wireless routers in the same channel, consider switching your router to another channel. Most routers have a web interface that you can use to access the settings. Enter its IP address (often found on the rear of the router) into Safari to access its web settings (it's often 192.168.0.1).
Remove unwanted devices
The web interface of the device will inform you which devices are accessing it. If you have a lot of different devices connected, you may want to consider disconnecting some of them. In busy households, you might want to consider adding a second router (such as one for you, one for the kids) so you do not take up too much bandwidth.
Make sure your system is secure
Along the same lines as making sure unwanted devices are removed from your router. Ensure that outsiders are not connecting to your router. Be sure to check that you have a good WPA2 password set up on your router.
