Gastric Bypass Patients Succeed Eating High Protein Diet
The first rule for successful weight loss and weight maintenance after Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) is Protein First - that means eating protein for three daily meals, and protein must be 50 percent of food intake. Some bariatric centers advise as much as 70 grams of protein a day. The gastric bypass diet should be high-protein, low-carbohydrate and low-volume. This is what successful WLS patients will eat for the rest of their life if they wish to maintain weight loss after surgery.
Animal products are the most nutrient rich source of protein and include fish, poultry and meat. Dairy protein, including eggs, is another excellent source of protein. Nuts and legumes are also good sources of protein, but sometimes difficult for the bariatric patient to consume. Tofu is another remarkable good source of vegetable protein and there are many quality flavorful products on the market for making it easy to incorporate into the diet.
Science is proving that a protein rich diet will prompt weight loss and increase energy. The body contains over fifty-thousand different active proteins all made out of the same building blocks: amino acids. Amino acids are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen as well as sulfur, phosphorus and iron. Many diseases - including obesity - indicate an amino acid deficiency.
WLS patients do not have the luxury of eating high-carbohydrate foods. They must eat lean protein or they will get sick, anemic, and weary. Weight loss will cease if patients eat processed carbohydrates instead of lean protein. Dumping or vomiting may also result if patients do not eat lean protein for the first half of every meal.
The distinction must be made between high fat proteins and lean proteins. A gastric bypass patient cannot tolerate high fat proteins such as bacon, fatty beef or sausage products or greasy fried chicken: these foods cause nausea and vomiting. In fact, many WLS patients report even smelling high fat foods, such a fried chicken, makes them nauseous. In addition, these high fat protein rich items are contributors to obesity, clogged arteries and heart disease. High fat foods should be avoided by anyone wishing to control their weight.

Cognitive neuroscience of language and behavioral psycholinguistics
My lab studies how the brain encodes mental representations in real time at the phonological, morphosyntactic and syntactic levels. We use behavioral measures (reaction time and categorical judgments) and electrophysiological measures of brain activity (EEG and its derivative, event-related potentials). Another research interest is to use the same methods to pinpoint differences between normally developing populations and language impaired populations, such as children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). The working hypothesis is that SLI arises from an interaction between normal predispositions for grammar construction, and impaired development of real-time processing mechanisms.

Record numbers achieved at ProMat 2009
The well-attended biennial event brought a thaw to the brisk Chicago winter and showed that maybe, in some sectors, the frigid economy may be beginning to thaw as well.
With the downturn in the global economy over the last year, good news has been hard to come by. But not all of the news is bad, especially if you're in the material handling and logistics business, it appears.
ProMat 2009 , held Jan. 12-15 at Chicago's McCormick Place, churned out the largest results in the event's history, the Material Handling Industry of America recently reported. And the best part was that attendees weren't just there to window shop. They were there to buy equipment.
"The feedback from attendees and exhibitors is that ProMat 2009 was a very successful event for them. Attendees were very serious and ready to make capital purchases now to keep their manufacturing and distribution operations competitive." said John Nofsinger, CEO of MHIA.
Registration for ProMat 2009 totaled 31,800, and the show featured 729 exhibits covering 305,000 net square feet. Attendance represented key decision makers in virtually all manufacturing, logistics, distribution and the supply chain. Reflecting the growing global nature of the event, attendees from outside the United States represented 100 countries and six continents.
According to Nofsinger, "the exhibitors put on a great show, with a highly diverse array of equipment and technology solutions. Overall, the success of this show says a great deal about the overall strength of this industry as material handling and logistics solutions remain key to industrial productivity and profitability."
More than 5,000 attended ProMat's educational conference, which numbered more than 100 sessions.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Please follow the steps outlined below to prepare the final manuscript of your paper for publication in the conference proceedings. Note that the proceedings are made directly from the camera-ready copy supplied by the authors.
(2) PRINTING YOUR PAPER. Print your properly-formatted text on high-quality, 8.5-by-11-inch white printer paper. A4 paper is also acceptable, but please leave the extra 0.5 inch (1.27 cm) at the BOTTOM of the page. If the last page of your paper is only partially filled, arrange the columns so that they are evenly balanced, if possible, rather than having one long column.
(3) PAGE NUMBERING. Number your pages lightly, in pencil, in the upper right-hand corners of the BACKS of the pages. Use one of the following numbering formats: 1/10, 2/10, ....; or 1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc. Please do NOT write page numbers (or anything else) on the fronts of the pages. Do NOT use your word-processing or typesetting software to paginate your pages. Note that unnumbered pages that get out of order can be very difficult to put back in order!
(4) FORMATTING YOUR PAPER. All printed material, including text, illustrations, and charts, must be kept within a print area 6-7/8 inches (approx. 17.5 cm) wide by 8-7/8 inches (approx. 22.5 cm) long. Do not write or print anything outside the pri nt area.
A format sheet with marked margins and placement guides is available from the IPCCC web site as a PDF file or a postscript file. This sheet contains lines and boxes showing the margins and print areas. If you hold it and your printed page up to light, you can easily check your margins to see if your print area fits within the space allowed.
(5) PAGE AND COLUMN LAYOUT. Start the first page in a one-column format. Center your title about 3 lines down from the normal top of the print area. Follow the title with two blank lines. The author name(s) and affiliation(s) are next, centered benea th the title and followed by two blank lines.
Your abstract and the remainder of the paper are to be in two-column format (except for figures or tables that may span both columns if necessary). If the last page is not filled, please divide the data into two equal columns.
Columns in the two-column format are to be 3-1/4 inches wide (approx. 8.25 cm), with a 3/8-inch (approx. 0.9 cm) space between columns, for a total data area width of 6 7/8 inches (approx. 17.5 cm). The length of the data area of any page must not exce ed 8 7/8 inches (approx. 22.5 cm).
(6) TYPE STYLE AND SIZE OF TEXT. Normal text is to be single spaced in 10-point Times-Roman (or similar font), with 12-point interline spacing, in the two-column format. The first line of each paragraph is to be indented approximately 1/4 inch (approx . 0.7 cm), and the entire text is to be fully justified that is, flush left and flush right. Please do not place additional line spacing between paragraphs. Figure and table captions should be Helvetica 10-point boldface. Callouts should be Helvet ica 9-point non-boldface.
(7) TITLE AND HEADINGS. The main title (on the first page) should begin approximately 1-3/8 inches (3.5 cm) from the top edge of the page. The title should be in Times-Roman 14-point boldface centered over both columns.

Remember that flour-pancake mix snafu?
So, I took sadpixie's advice, added oil, sugar, soda, milk/vinegar, and a dash of both vanilla and almond extracts, stirred it together with the mess I'd made last night, glommed it into a greased 13x9 glass cake dish, then laded it into the oven at 325 for 45 minutes. I probably should have taken an egg beater to it just to aerate it a bit, as it did not rise much...BUT, it has a neat, old-timey kinda moist, dense texture, and it's not too sweet--i like that! I whipped up a "buttercream" frosting of 1 lb. confectioner's sugar, 1/2 c butter, 4 tbs. milk, and a dab of vanilla along with a good shot of orange extract. Spread that on, and it kinda reminds me of cakes I ate made by elderly great-aunts at family reunions back in the mid-sixties... Not bad for a disaster, and I couldn't be happier that this site exists, 'cause you all offered quick, useful advice! Hats off to YOU! (esp. sadpix, ya know?)

SOURCE Canadian Heritage
OTTAWA, March 8, 2018 /CNW/ - Today, on International Women's Day, we join people around the globe in recognizing the enormous impact that women have had, and continue to have, in shaping our country and our world.
As Minister of Canadian Heritage and a feminist, I am proud of the leading role that women play across Canadian society, including in arts and culture. However, as our creative industries continue to grow and thrive, we must ensure that women's stories are being told, that their diverse voices are reflected throughout these industries, and that we continue working to advance gender equality in Canada and around the world.
Important steps have been taken to improve women's representation throughout Canada's creative industries. Just this week, the National Film Board announced they have achieved gender parity in their portfolio, and Telefilm Canada and the Canada Media Fund have also signaled their intention to achieve gender balance in their respective productions and programs by 2020. Our national public broadcaster is also leading the way forward, with women directing more than 50 percent of episodes for CBC/Radio-Canada series in 2017. In the music sector, we are working with FACTOR, Musicaction and national music organizations to ensure that measures are in place to support inclusion, women's representation and diversity throughout the music industry.
We also must respond to the very real concerns raised by the #MeToo movement and the fundamental changes that are needed in our society to address them. In the past months, I have met with representatives from the performing arts, film and television, and music sectors to discuss ways to work together to address concerns and support the health, safety and dignity of those working in these fields. As part of the efforts across government to tackle these issues, I have asked Canadian Heritage officials to review our funding policies to ensure that recipient organizations have measures in place to promote safe and harassment-free work environments.
This year, as Canadians celebrate the 100th anniversary of women's right to vote in federal elections, I invite everyone to join together to honour the exceptional women who have led the way, support those that continue to break down barriers today, and inspire the next generation to continue working towards a more positive, just and equal future for us all.

Posted by carol3792 2360 days ago (Question)I feel empty.. I constantly feel like i am dreaming. I feel so hopeless. I have gad, depression, and anxiety. I feel like i am never going to get better or that i wont even know what feeling better feels like.I just want to get better and i feel like i am so alone in feeling like this.I also just developed the fear that i am going to snap and go crazy.Everytime i leave my house the feeling of being unreal gets worse. The days i think i am starting to feel better make me think that because i feel better i am actually insane because insane people dont know that they are insane. My concept of time sucks. Things that happened an hour ago feel like they happened five hours ago. I have dreams every night and i always remember every detail, that also freaks me out. I don't know what to do. I am in therapy and i take medicine.
Am i losing my mind?

Best made with tender venison backstraps or tenderloins, these venison appetizers make great snacks to munch on while the main course is grilling. These quick-cooking bacon wrapped morsels really hit the spot after a tough day in the field.
For the best flavor, grill these babies over charcoal, or better yet, hot coals from a wood fire. Usually I use a toothpick to hold the ingredients together, but if there are kids around, give them each a stick and let them use it to cook their appetizers over a campfire.
The venison is cut into bite sized pieces, then soaked in a flavorful marinade. Ingredients for the marinade include...
One-quarter cup Worcestershire sauce
One-quarter cup Soy Sauce
One can of beer
One quarter cup of maple syrup
One teaspoon black pepper
One half teaspoon each of onion powder and garlic powder
One quarter cup of brown sugar
One half teaspoon (or to taste) of powdered cayenne pepper
Marinate the venison for at least four hours, or overnight if you like. Remove the meat from the liquid. Wrap each morsel with a half slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Be sure to soak the toothpicks in water for a while so they don't turn to ashes. Grill over high heat for three to five minutes on each side, or until done to medium.
Enjoy these bacon wrapped appetizers with copious quantities of Bud Lite or homemade wine.

Knowshon Moreno: Updated Fantasy Outlook & Analysis for Broncos RBNovember 25, 2012
Denver Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno is back on the fantasy football radar after entering the starting lineup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12 and rushing for 85 yards on 20 carries.
Moreno had been active for only two games prior to playing the Chiefs, but with Willis McGahee now on the injured reserve, Denver is turning to the forgotten RB.
Does he have any fantasy value the rest of the season? Let's update Moreno's fantasy outlook and analysis.
Fantasy Outlook
Moreno is a talented RB who has been given ample opportunity to take over the No. 1 spot on the Broncos' depth chart and who has continuously failed to do so. However, he has been given another chance and any running back has the potential to succeed in a Peyton Manning-led offense.
Defenses are likely to fixate largely on Manning and the passing attack until Moreno proves he is a legitimate threat and forces defenders to respect the run by putting extra defenders in the box. Until that time, Moreno should have huge rushing lanes to take advantage of.
This is not to say Moreno will dominate on the ground in the next few weeks, but if he doesn't do well against Tampa Bay and Oakland after a solid outing against Kansas City, there is little hope that he will ever live up the hype of being a first round draft pick.
Still, Denver is not afraid to run the ball and the team has averaged 105.3 rushing yards per game this season.
Fantasy owners must approach Moreno with caution because he has struggled so mightily during his career, but at this point in the season owners may also be reaching for whatever they can find.
Moreno is not an ideal RB2, but he looks to be ahead of Ronnie Hillman on the Broncos' depth chart right now and should hover around 17-20 carries per game.
Fantasy Analysis
If you can avoid Moreno then do so at all costs, but he is going to see the ball and will have an opportunity to produce in coming weeks.
The fact that Denver has one of the most favorable schedules in the NFL down the stretch is encouraging, as is the fact that the running game has done well this season. Hillman will poach carries and may even battle with Moreno for a starting role in some games, but Moreno does have value.
He is a fast, dynamic and potentially versatile player when he is at his best. The problem is that his best has not been seen since his days at the University of Georgia.

Palms, red carpet, goddess gowns... must be Cannes.
Photo: AFP
Mary Colbert reveals a side of the glitzy festival usually seen only by those in the know.
The iconic Palais, the red carpet, the pomp, the paparazzi (a term coined here by Italian director Federico Fellini), the outrageous beach scenes, the stunts ... these are the cliched images exported around the globe, but the Cannes Film Festival is much more than that.
Trying to pinpoint the allure of the Cannes Film Festival, Clint Eastwood once commented on "the big dichotomy of the photographers tripping over themselves trying to take your picture and the topless girls on the beach, and then the absolute highbrow seriousness of the cinephiles".
What makes Cannes exciting, confusing and frustrating is its heady, eclectic mix. Under this one umbrella, high art, commerce, fashion and tawdry porn collide and coexist, but some of the quirkier facets of this "whorehouse of selling", as Eastwood put it, are overlooked and unseen. Here are 10 of them.
1. Dog day afternoons In a country where dogs have equal status with humans if not superior, the Palme Dog (a wry take-off of Cannes' top laurel, the Palme d'Or) was bound to strike a chord. Top honours in the award, the brainchild of the Paris-based British journalist Toby Rose, were shared last year by Edgar and Hoover, the two flatulent bulldogs of a man who lives by his nose, American wine critic Robert Parker, that appeared in Jonathan Nossiter's French wine documentary, Mondovino.
2. Opportunities knock In 1970, when US journalists arrived in Cannes wearing black armbands following student deaths in Kent State University protests, little did they know what they were starting. A few days later similar bands, sporting a gold border and lettering with "Welcome to Cannes", appeared in the windows of the entrepreneurial Riviera souvenir shops.
3. Pressing matters Cannes press conferences can be more diverting than the films themselves. Alan Parker's Midnight Express "presser" saw fisticuffs involving a Turkish journo, while Sharon Stone revved up her media call for The Mighty by asking a male reporter to dance. Bound for Glory's David Carradine picked up a guitar and burst into This Land is your Land when asked by reporters to prove he performed the vocals in the film. Jane Campion's The Piano turned into a scrum while Robin Williams ran across a street mid-sentence and mid-conference to kiss a baby.
4. Looking for Harvey He did it for Quentin (Tarantino), he did it for Mike (Moore) and now he'll do it for you, too. In Cannes they seek the blessing of the giant 'rabbi' of Cannes, Harvey Weinstein. They want him to read their script, recognise their talent and buy, co-produce and distribute their movie. They even make films about their Harvey quests.
5. The mating game In 1954, Cannes organisers - concerned about the festival's image after the first breast-baring incident on the beach - requested classier media stories. Pierre Galante, the editor of weekly photo magazine Paris Match, obliged. He agreed to set up a photo session with actor Grace Kelly and Monaco's dashing Prince Rainier at the royal palace. Romance blossomed and the couple were married at festival time the following year. The couple head a long list of Riviera marriages: actors Ginger Rogers and Jacques Bergerac; Kirk Douglas and the festival's PR supremo, Anne Buydens; Gregory Peck and his wife Veronique; and even our own love match between producer Al Clark (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert), and Marina Finlay, daughter of eastern suburbs socialite Maria.
6. Crime stories You won't read this in the tourist brochures, but the Riviera event has long been a paradise for burglars, pickpockets, thieves and bag snatchers who make the festival (along with the Monaco Grand Prix) a pilgrimage. No one is spared: press, directors, Hollywood stars ... even local heart-throb Jean-Paul Belmondo's wallet disappeared during a standing ovation.
7. Staying alive The crowds flock around elite hotels along Cannes' main stretch for a glimpse of stars, but these days the top-end action takes place at the luxurious Hotel du Cap, 30 minutes' drive from the city. Once the playground of writers F. Scott Fitzgerald, Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene, artists Picasso and Matisse, and royalty, it's become a safe haven for megastars and international film powerbrokers. Madonna, Sean Penn, Nicole Kidman, Weinstein, Stone and Arnold Schwarzenegger have enjoyed its privacy, serene spacious grounds, swimming cabanas and, above all, security. There's even a pet cemetary if required.
8. Greater good But it's not just about prestige, money and glamour. Under the umbrella of its Cinefoundation, the festival funds cinema art causes. Each year a scholarship fund enables successful candidates - many from poorer countries without strong film infrastructures - to spend 4 1/2 months in its Paris studios developing their first or second films under the tutelage of industry mentors.
9. To market What gives Cannes much more clout than other major film festivals is its official market where art meets commerce. For non-buyers, a favourite sport is title-spotting in the porn and Troma sections. How about Killer Condoms, Stuff Stephanie in the Incinerator, Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, Blondes Have More Guns, Rabid Grannies or Cannibal the Musical?
10. Bees knees-up For some, parties are the raison d'etre of Cannes. Opening nights for films such as Moulin Rouge and The Fifth Element are usually the most impressive, but the most vibrant can be the spontaneous beach parties for an African or Cuban film or the gypsy music-filled wild events for an Emir Kusturica movie.
Mary Colbert is working on a book about the other side of Cannes. This year's festival runs from May 11 to 22.

WHO: When your alumni includes the likes of Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane and MyDaily's own Mary Katrantzou, it's perhaps no surprise that tickets to the Central Saint MartinsMA graduate show are some of the most sought after at London Fashion Week.
IN A NUTSHELL: With 20 graduate collections on show in quick succession, the overwhelming sensation was that the bold, innovative and slightly insane kind of fashion thinking that has put Central Saint Martins on the map under the watchful eye of MA supremo Louise Wilson, who is marking her 20th year as course director, is alive and well. Overall there was an austere, dark mood with androgyny order of the day, and oversized tunics with rounded Herman Munster-esque shoulders a recurrent silhouette
At the end of the show, Luke Brooks, who showed distressed tapestry patch tunics and paint splattered fabrics teams with huge tassled brothel crepers, was named recipient of the L'Oreal Professional Creative Award. The award was shared with Craig Green, who showed monchrome and architectural menswear (we're talking hugecubes and spheres attached to the models' backs).
Green's work must have been just the cup of tea for Zaha Hadid, who was sitting front row alongside Gareth Pugh, Joan Burnstein and Iain Duncan Smith MP. The latter surely being our most WTF front row spot this season.
VERDICT: Yes, most of this stuff doesn't translate to the kind of thing you can pop to the supermarket in and yes, there was a danger of political and artistic concept overshadowing form - but it's important to remember that this is just the beginning for many of these talented young creatives. It's not easy feat to become a global fashion player and many of the names on the runway will be forgotten by next year, but for the next big thing in fashion last night proved that Central Saint Martins remains the international breeding ground for genuinely original fashion.

How to Find a Story and Write It: David Rocklin on his debut novel, THE LUMINIST
Friends, sometimes the most wonderful things come over the transom: it was a year ago when I was contacted by debut author David Rocklin, who asked me if would be willing to reading his novel, THE LUMINIST, and blurb it. I was, after the first few sentences, not only willing--I was elated. Set in colonial Ceylon, this beautiful, haunting story chronicles the unlikely relationship between a poor servant and the grieving woman of privilege who employs him, who struggle together to understand the mysterious and as yet "unfixed" art of photography, and so find a way to halt time, stop hurt, and capture the fleeting essence of life. I asked David to share with us some of the background to this complex, wonderful book; read on, and then go and grab yourself a copy. You will be, simply put, inspired.
David, there is a wonderful story behind the birth of THE LUMINIST. Can you share with our readers how you came to write the book?
In early 2004, my wife and I went to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. They were exhibiting photographs from the earliest days of the art, including a number from Julia Margaret Cameron. Now, I'm not a photographer – I'm the one most likely to stare at your camera, waiting for it to tell me how to use it, when you ask me to take a picture of you and your family. I'd never heard of Ms. Cameron, or her work. I am, though, very visual. Everything I've written had its start not as a theme or a character, but as an image that I could not shake, that hinted at a larger story in its peripheries.
The photographs I saw that day really moved me. Those faces were at once immediate and long-gone. They had a lost quality to them when viewed from a distance; here, after all, was a wall of people who died before I'd ever encountered them. Up close, though, I saw something else entirely: individual moments of whimsy, contemplation, mourning, a child's exasperation at having to wear wings. The first image I encountered, of a woman half-shrouded in shadow, was stunning. Her face emerged from the dark into a muted light. She was unreadable. The model, as it turned out, was Julia Jackson, the mother of Virginia Woolf (I wrote a blog about that image, and the serendipity that caused it to become the cover of the novel: http://www.redroom.com/blog/drocklin/a-story-behind-image).
After the Getty, I did a bit of research on Ms. Cameron. She was unique for her time, a Victorian woman who obsessively pursued this then-unknown art and science despite all societal expectations or barriers. She was ambitious and a skilled self-promoter unafraid to approach the great men of her era in furtherance of her portraiture. The likes of Charles Darwin, Lord Tennyson, Robert Carlisle and Sir John Herschel all sat for her, enduring the hours of stillness necessitated by the technology of the time. She expressed herself via recreation of biblical scenes and her time in Ceylon, when many who introduced themselves to this new medium did so mainly to preserve family in life or in death. She saw something like prayer in her work, and saw possibilities to rival painting.
I found a quote of hers: "I longed to arrest all beauty that came before me…" I read that she lost a child shortly after birth. Her quote took on a newly relentless, tragic meaning. An image of her started to form, but from a vantage point outside of her, as if she were observed from under the cloak of an old camera.
That's where the story started. What transpired is completely fictionalized, but my jumping-off point began the day I met her at the Getty.
One of the things I love about THE LUMINIST is the sustained and, yes, luminous quality of the prose. I remember thinking when I first began reading the book: "There is no way he can keep this up--every sentence is a miracle." And yet you do keep it up. Writing being as difficult as it is, how do you keep yourself inspired, day after day, at the level of the sentence?
That means the world to me, coming from you. Other than a precious few, most of us who write do so in the nooks and crannies between jobs, children, spouses, commitments and overall sleep deprivation! It's an enormous challenge to pick up the thread of the day before, to find that emotional level once again, when so much of life has likely intervened in the hours/days since the last time. If this novel works sentence to sentence, page to page (and I'm truly grateful that you feel the way you do about the novel), I think it's because I really lived with this world for quite a while before starting the book. I realized early on that even if I travelled to India, I could not find the setting for the book. Ceylon no longer exists as it was. More importantly, the moment that really drives everything in "The Luminist" no longer exists: that moment before the first photographic image existed, before that instant of fast-passing life could be held still. And then, it could.
I realized that to make the story work as I hoped to, I needed to do my research, become as familiar as possible with the rims and borders of the world the characters inhabited, and then imagine the granular aspects of that world into existence. Once I was able to see it – being visual again – I could live with it day and night, even as I was reading a bedtime story to my little one, or paying the bills. It never left.
I know you are working on a new book. Can you talk about the process of transitioning from a first novel to a second? How have you found that process? What have you learned and carried forward into your new work, and what do you find must be discovered afresh?
The transition from "The Luminist" to the new one (tentatively "The Daylight Language") is a bit unique, in that the story suggested itself from one of Ms. Cameron's photographs. I found it during the research phase for Luminist and set it aside, because I knew right away that it was going to become something for me down the road. The photograph depicts an Abyssinian (now Ethiopa) boy of about 8, in traditional garb, seated in a manner that speaks of tribal royalty. Yet his is one of the most bereft expressions you can imagine. After I had completed "The Luminist" I went back to him. He was the son of Abyssinia's emperor, and after England invaded in the late 1860's, the boy was taken back to England, where he became a ward of Queen Victoria. I'm fictionalizing the hell out of it (as I did with Ms. Cameron in "The Luminist"), but that boy's story is very evocative for me.
So much of what I learned from writing "The Luminist" is making the journey with me towards realizing the new one. Patience with the stops and starts of the first draft (the characters were really battling for dominance in voice, and I've re-started the book three times now). Immersion in the world, and once immersed, picking my battles. By this I mean picking from amongst so many possibilities in terms of historical backdrop. Queen Victoria, her court, her children (each with their own unique maladies and topography), life in England…where to start? Which of so many tapestry threads to use? That's probably not going to sort itself out until a couple of drafts from now.

What are the Carl Jung's four functions related to gathering and evaluating information for problem solving and decision making.
Which problem-solving style would be appropriate for an individual in the accounting profession? Why

The four conscious functions Jung identifies in his book Psychological Types are Thinking, Intuition, Sensation, and Feeling. According to Jung, almost everyone favors one of these functions. It seems obvious that Thinking would be the most appropriate function for anyone who wanted to go into the accounting profession, because accounting requires close, practical, realistic thinking, and accuracy is of the utmost importance. Jung states that individuals do not choose these from these functions but seem to be born with them, just as they are born with tendencies to be introverted or extroverted. Many tests have been developed based on Jungian theories, and some of these can be accessed on the Internet. The best-known is the Briggs-Meyers test, which is used to counsel people in choosing their vocations. It would seem that the ideal psychological type for the accounting profession would be a person whose "attitude" tended to be introversion (introverts like to work alone) and whose favored "function" was thinking. You can take the Briggs-Meyers test on the Internet and get partial results at no cost. There is an introversion-extroversion test offered by Psychology Today on the Internet, and they also provide partial results at no cost.

Legal quagmire for Advanced Biometrics' Peterson
Cease-and-desist order issued against co-founder in state securities probe
Published 10:00 pm, Wednesday, April 24, 2002
Dwight Peterson, co-founder and executive vice president of Puyallup-based Advanced Biometrics Inc., is under investigation by the state's Department of Financial Institutions for selling unregistered stock and promissory notes to about 130 investors.
A cease-and-desist order was issued late last month against Peterson, a former district manager in the circulation department at The Seattle Times who co-founded the biometric security company in 1997.
Peterson's continued violations of securities laws "constitute a threat to the investing public," the order says. It goes on to allege that Peterson sold $50,000 worth of his ABI stock and $600,000 worth of personal promissory notes without giving investors significant information about the risks associated with the deal. He is not registered to sell securities in the state, the order says.
Peterson, who is facing a $50,000 fine, has requested a hearing on the matter. Though Peterson admits to selling some stock to sophisticated investors, friends and family -- including his father and uncle -- he said the stock sales stopped "several years ago" when his attorney told him it was inappropriate. The state alleges that the stock sales continued through last year and that the notes were sold during 2001 and this year.

Peterson declined to comment on the note sales, saying only that he "would never think to do those ever again in my life, and I would not advise anyone to do them."
He said he never intended to defraud anyone.
"I was just a regular guy when my partner and I started this company," Peterson said. "The laws are so convoluted on this you really can't tell. The attorney will tell you do one thing and it is still wrong. And if you do the other thing, you are still wrong. ..."
The Department of Financial Institutions began investigating Peterson in October after receiving a call from a member of the Spokane Police Department who was considering investing. The agency continues to investigate others at the company, said Deborah Bortner, director of the securities division at the department
ABI is developing a palm-scanning device, according to the company's Web site, that uses infrared scanners to take a digital picture of the inside of a person's hand. That picture is then compared with a stored image and used to either allow or deny entry to buildings.
Peterson and his business partner, John Stiver, said they developed the technology over the past 15 years, inspired by the way a flashlight illuminates veins in the hand and investigating ways to childproof handguns. Neither graduated from college, though both are self-described "idea guys" and "inventors."
Over the past couple of years, the privately held company attracted several prominent investors and board members, including former Microsoft Corp. President Michael Hallman, former CIA Director Robert Gates and Raisbeck Engineering Chief Executive James Raisbeck. But in the past year, things started to unravel at the company, according to investors and former employees. Hallman and Gates resigned last fall.
Meanwhile, the company struggled to raise money. And its main product -- dubbed ChronoLog -- was pulled off the market because CEO James Katzaroff said he was not satisfied with its performance or design.
In addition to the cease-and-desist order against Peterson, a lawsuit was filed last month against the company by more than a dozen current and former employees who allege they have not been paid for months.
A countersuit filed this month by ABI in U.S. District Court in Tacoma, says many of those suing for back wages never were employed at the company. It goes on to allege that former chief technology officer Stephen Fishburn -- lead plaintiff in the employee lawsuit -- destroyed and removed assets from ABI, interfered with contractual relationships, did not make good on an investment and initiated a "scorched earth" campaign against ABI in the media that damaged the company.
Fishburn says ABI's case is full of legal errors, false statements and "nonsense."
Ken Hatch, an ABI investor, board member and former KIRO-TV executive, says the situation is "messy."
The board will discuss the cease-and-desist order against Peterson at its next meeting and take appropriate action, board members said.
Katzaroff, reached on his cell phone in New York, said that meeting has not been set and is subject to his travel schedule. He declined further comment on the order, saying it is "an issue for the board of directors." He said the legal dispute with employees is headed to trial.
Hatch and Katzaroff think ABI can rebound once a merger is completed with Vancouver, B.C.-based Electronic Identification Inc. next month. That would create a new publicly traded entity under the name of Advanced Biometric Technologies Corp., Katzaroff said. The merger would bring about $1.7 million in cash to the combined company, he said. ABI executives have promised to pay employees once the deal is consummated.
Despite the legal troubles, ABI continues to operate with about a dozen employees. Katzaroff -- a former ABI consultant who was named CEO in December -- said the company is in good shape.
"We are dramatically overjoyed with the breakthroughs we are having," said Katzaroff, who would not elaborate on the breakthroughs or when the company might release products. "I am very pleased with where we are going."
Hatch, who has a substantial amount of money invested in ABI, said even though the company ran out of money last summer, he believes in the management and "the remarkable nature of the patent."
But not all investors are happy with the company's prospects. Carl Jones, ABI's former chief privacy officer and a current shareholder, said the upcoming merger with Electronic Identification will not solve the company's problems.
"The challenge I feel is that they are merging with a Nevada corporation, with headquarters in British Columbia that is a penny stock traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board," Jones said.
"That doesn't sound like an exciting merger to me, and as a shareholder, it doesn't make tremendous sense."
Jones, who was laid off last year and was sued by ABI for violating a non-disclosure agreement, said the merger will not solve the legal entanglements the company faces. Jones has a countersuit pending in Pierce County Superior Court, with a trial date set for this summer.

Division 1 North semifinal: Everett-Lowell recap
EVERETT - This was the game I think everyone has been waiting to see from Everett's Lubern Figaro.
The University of Wisconsin-bound defensive back had two interceptions in the fourth quarter to help the Crimson Tide lock up a 21-0 shutout of Lowell in Friday night's Div. 1 semifinal matchup at Everett Memorial Stadium.
Figaro's picks didn't come until late, but he more than left his mark on the entire game. Normally a safety, Figaro found himself matched up against Lowell wide receiver Jack Galvin, one of the state's pass catchers, for a large chunk of action. Galvin was held to just two catches on the night.
"I had to keep him quiet because he was the best player on the team," Figaro said in praise of Galvin. "They put me on the best player so I had to stop him."
Put on a blindfold and point to a list of names on the Crimson Tide defense and you're bound to come up with someone who played an impactful role in the win.
Linebacker Angel Duarte, who has been one of the state's premier defensive players all season long, made a tremendous play to catch Lowell running back Nic Coury from behind and pop the ball loose for a fumble that was recovered by teammate Isaiah Davis.
Lowell managed to run for just 103 yards on the night, and 68 of those yards came on one Ngaiiva Mason run on the Red Raiders second play from scrimmage. Duarte (multiple tackles for losses) and fellow linebacker C.J. Parvelus teamed up with the rest of Everett's front seven in allowing just one more double-digit run the rest of the game.
Everett forced five turnovers in the game, four of which came in the fourth quarter and led directly to the team's final 14 points. Lukas Denis also had an INT, and lineman Josh Palmer recovered a Lowell fumble in the first half. Fellow lineman Muhamed Raoui had two sacks while Palmer added another.
"The defensive effort was strong the whole game," praised Everett coach John DiBiaso. "We came out and we shooting ourselves in the foot on offense and I thought our defense held us in the game in the first half. We luckily punched one in and had the lead, 7-0, but it was the defense that had kept us in it early and set the tine for the entire game."
Everett running back Marquis Holman is never going to put up video game numbers but he has been essential in keeping the chains moving. When the Tide decided to abandon the spread offense and go back to its roots as a power run team against St. John's Prep early in the regular season, it was Holman who took on the most responsibility.
The 6-foot, 180-pound back lines up mere inches from quarterback Raheem Wingard on every snap and his plays generally consist of quick handoffs leading him into a sea of linemen. His job is to pound away at the line and set up speedsters Davis and Joe D'Onofrio to catch opposing defenses off guard and break big plays.
Holman finished with 86 tough yards on 20 carries, and added a 1-yard touchdown on his third straight carry following Palmer's fumble recovery in the fourth.
A young and inexperienced offensive line featuring just one senior has developed every step of the way with Holman and seems to be coming into its own at the right time.
"D'Onofrio and Denis ran hard from the backfield but I thought the key to the entire offense was Holman," DiBiaso said. "Holman softened them up up the middle, he ran his fanny off. He softened them up the entire game and he set the tone for the outside. he set up all the outside plays, including that touchdown run by Isaiah. The offensive line, they deserve the credit and Holman."
On the offensive line, DiBiaso added, "They're all young. We only have one senior on the offensive line. They've matured tremendously over the course of the year and they're getting better and better. Hopefully they're getting better at the right time."
Davis was injured right at the end of the first half during an interception return by Lowell's Keagan Latta. Davis limped off the field on his own, but did not return to the game.
"It's only a bruise," said DiBiaso. "We're going to ice him down and get him some treatment. If I had to guess he's going to be playing (next week against Central Catholic)."
What would an Everett win be without Coach DiBiaso taking time to recognize the Herald's own Danny V?
When asked about his team's abilty to extend drives and keep Lowell's dangerous offense on the sidelines, DiBiaso quipped, "I got a call from Danny V and he said use the ball control offense so who am I to argue with Danny V? We used the grind it out offense and try to eat up the clock."

After a few weeks off, Andy and Seubs dusted off their microphones for another rock solid edition of Who-Dey Weekly. The Cincinnati Bengals sure have been in the headlines over the past few days so the timing couldn't be more spot on.
Joining us on this week's show is Daniel Blair from WhoDeyRevolution.com. Among the topics at hand is the feud between Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer and awful team owner Mike Brown. We also pondered just how exactly Marvin Lewis got a contract extension after a 4-12 season?
