Hygiene of the Eyes.
There are very few. women 'nowadays
who resort to the injurious . practice of
dropping' belladonna into ' the' eyes to
brighten them. It is absolutely • ruinous
to the sight, and gives the eyes an arti
ficial look, as unbecoming as that pro
duced by a hard, dark line under the
lower lashes.
The paint used . to darken the under
eyelids Is -often made up of injurious sub

There is a prevalent belief that a dally
cold water bath of the eyes— opening and
shutting the eyes under water— Is benefi

may render the eye somewhat more re

Close the eyes, once in every two or

Both black and brown eyes indicate
frankness, warm affection and a great de

make warm friends, being- amiable, truth

admired blue eyes, fondly called Minerva
"the blue-eyed maid," and Neptune "the
god of the azure eyes." Venus, too, had
blue eves.
In the Orient no .woman can be beauti
ful who has not laige, dreamy eyes. In
Italy and Spain a pair of bijr eyes, even
if expressionless, are enough to entitle a
woman to be called a beauty, but in
America a woman with very large eyes
and no other charms is never rated as a
Wauty. Usually more' indicative 'of power
than of beauty are large eyes. Too full,
they denote a timid and -stupid, even
tre£;cherous;nature. Juno had "large, ma

Pretty Nails.
Among the men the possession of good
hands is unusual, yet when found it is
delightful. King Leopold of the Belgians
has long, handsome hands and his con
quests have been attributed to them.
King Edward VII has fat. stubby fingers,
which are, however, always highly mani
cured; and Prime Minister Salisbury
boasts the finest hands in England.' But
such cases are rare among the masculine
sex, and it is to the women that the high
care of the hands is left.
Blavatski was noted for her conquests.
She had an impossible face and a heavy
figure, yet her hands were lovely to be
hold. The Frincess Chimay has remark
ably fine hands and Qleo de Merode num
bers her fingers as her charms.
And in some ways the hand takes prece
dence of the face.' An ugly hand has often
driven tack admiration; and a hand that
was not well kept has stifled the word of
praise and the sight of appreciation.
What more effective weapon has a
woman than her hand? If shapely, soft,
well turned and well cared for, It Is un
doubtedly the most powerful of all aids
to beauty, aside from the face itself. , #
With *a wave of her hand Josephine
Beauharnals brought Napoleon to her

ing the hands rub the nails very lightly
over the cake of soap and. In washing,
wash out the soap from underneath. Thi3
is worth an hour of scraping and doe*
not Injure the Inner surface.
With a little care exercised In the mat
ter of cleaning the nail, the whole will
soon begin to grow pinkish toward the
tip; and that white edge will disappear.
As for the "moon" at the base of the
nail It can only be brought out by coax
ing. Usually the first attempt to force
the moon forth will result in great un
sightly white spots along the base of tha
nail, which must grow out before they
can be removed.
White spots are sears and are always
produced by an Injury to the base of the
. nail. Very often the injury is done with
the orange wood stick, again it is the
work of the cuticle knife. The nail at its
base Is very soft and, if pressed upon,
will be Injured and a white spot will re
sult. This is the secret of so many dis
figured finger nails, such as are often
found upon the fingers of the most fasti
dious women.
How to Manicure.
Manicuring Is a simple operation and
one that can be performed at home, if
preferred, or if economy Is any motive.
It should not be done oftener than
twice a week at most, as nothing Injures
the nail as much as frequent clipping and
cutting. The work of the manicure dur
ing the week Is very simple and consists
merely In loosening the flesh at the base
of the nail and in polishing the nail into
When manicuring begin by soaking the
fingers in lukewarm water. It Is surpris
ing- how large a part this plays in tho
process yet how often it 13 neglected. A
certain woman who is noted for her pretty
pink tips cultivated the habit of soaking
one hand in water fifteen minutes, read-
Ing the while. She then lays aside her
book and finishes the manicuring of the
The other hand Is then treated In th«
same way with the preliminary fifteen
minutes' soaking and the result Is some
thing that is worth while.
Few people realize that, in dealing withN
the nail, they are really dealing with aj
substance that Is pliable; tho nail can beJ
softened by soaking and It can then be
almost molded into the right shape, while
the color is easily changed when the Bur
face is thus softened.
After the finger tips have been soaked
fifteen minutes it Is time to clip away
the ragged bits of cuticle. Do not cut off
the cuticle in strips, as is the custom with
so many. Let It remain on. It will hard
en when the hands get dry and will really
protect the pretty mcon.
The Cuticle Knife.
Keep pushing back the skin and dip off
only such portions as appear to be ragged.
Sometimes the cuticle scissors are not
necessary and. if so. It is an Indication
that the hands are in very excellent con
dition indeed.'
Then comes the shaping of the nail. Use
your judgment as to the shape, but do
not make the mistake of clipping it close
ly at the sides. Leave the sides as high
as you can, for this high nail supports the
finger ends and keeps them from getting
thick. Yon will find: that, where the cor
ners of the nails are cut away, the finger
invariably sags, lacking the necessary
support. The taper finger tip is the ona
whose nail is not cut away at the cor
It Is a good thing if the nail can be a
third longer than it Is wide. There are
those who admire a nail twice as long as
it is wide. If the cuticle can be trained to
grow dawn and expose the moon this pro
portion is a good one. The moon should
be plainly visible, and should be of that
soft delicate color always found In a
healthy nail..
Now when the nails are shaped, comes
the time for coloring them. If you like
pink nails you can use a little nail rouge.
This Is a red salve which is rubbed in-
Very little should be used. Touch tha

The powder comes last. And about this
there is some difference of opinion. Just

able yet it is so pretty that one cannot'
condemn it. Women of society are wear-

The High Polish.
Those who do not want a polish can
be content with washing off the rouge and

But those who want the polish can have

with the implement. It Is a mistaken
idea to put on much powder, for it only
<*et3 In under the nails and under the
cuticle while It does not polish them with
any more brilliancy. Use as little as pos
sible, and, li necessary, add a little when
the polisher seems dry.
Powder is said to make the nail3 brittle
and to heat them by friction until they
are liable to snap under the rubbing. But
with care one can Impart quite a high
polish without running these risk3.
It Is necessary, finally, to wash the
hands with soap to get off the powder.
And then comes a* chance for a very
little cold cream which should be rubbed
into the hands to keep them from chap
ping and into the skin at the base of tha
nail to keep it from growing fast and
making hang-nails. -^
The hang-nail, as It Is commonly called,
is the cause of a great deal of trouble to
many persons, but it can be cured by
soaking the finger tips well and by uslnf
a little vaseline at the base of the nail
after each manicuring.

of embarrassing situations. Suppose
you have been discussing Miss
Brown's hair, and have committed the in

Brown's. Why give a convulsive start,

wiser and safer, and more graceful, too,
if you just turn your eyes to see if it is

NEW YORK - Levon Helm, who helped forge a deep-rooted American music as the drummer and singer for the Band, died Thursday in Manhattan. He was 71 and lived in Woodstock, N.Y.
His death, at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, was from complications of cancer, said a spokeswoman for Vanguard Records, for which he had recorded several albums.
In Mr. Helm's drumming, muscle, swing, economy, and finesse were inseparably merged. His voice held the bluesy, weathered, and resilient essence of his Arkansas upbringing in the Mississippi Delta.
Mr. Helm was the American linchpin of the otherwise Canadian group that became Bob Dylan's backup band and then the Band. Its own songs - largely written by the Band's guitarist, Robbie Robertson, and pianist, Richard Manuel - spring from roadhouse, church, backwoods, river, and farm; they are rock-ribbed with history and tradition yet hauntingly surreal.
After the original Band's breakup in 1976, Mr. Helm continued to perform at every opportunity, working with a partly reunited Band and leading his own groups. He also acted in films, notably "Coal Miner's Daughter,'' and in the 2000s he became a roots-music patriarch. His barn in Woodstock has been a recording studio since 1975, and in 2004 it also became the home of down-home, eclectic concerts called Midnight Rambles, which led to tours and Grammy-winning albums.
Mr. Helm's drumming valued space over showiness. He gave his drums a muffled, bottom-heavy sound that placed them in the foundation of the arrangements, and his tom-toms were tuned so that their pitch would bend downward as the tone faded.
Mark Lavon Helm was born in Elaine, Ark., the son of a cotton farmer with land near Turkey Scratch, Ark. In his 1993 autobiography, "This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band,'' written with Stephen Davis, Mr. Helm said he grew up hearing live bluegrass, Delta blues, country, and the beginnings of rock 'n' roll; Memphis was just across the river.
His father gave him a guitar when he was 9, and he soon started performing: in a duo with his sister Linda and in a high school rock 'n' roll band, the Jungle Bush Beaters. He also played drums in the Marvell High School band.
Mr. Helm was in 11th grade when the Arkansas-born rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins hired him as a drummer. He traveled with Hawkins to Canada, where the shows paid better, and Hawkins settled there. Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks played six nights a week in Ontario and had a number of hit singles.
In Canada, Hawkins gradually assembled the lineup that would become the Band. "He knew what musicians had the fire,'' Mr. Helm once said. By 1961, Hawkins was backed by Mr. Helm, Robertson, Manuel, Rick Danko on bass, and Garth Hudson on organ. They had trouble pronouncing Lavon, and Mr. Helm began calling himself Levon.
In 1963, weary of Hawkins's discipline, the five Hawks started their own bar-band career as Levon and the Hawks. The blues singer John Hammond Jr. heard them in Toronto and brought Robertson, Hudson and Mr. Helm into the studio in 1964 to back him on the album "So Many Roads.''
Bob Dylan famously brought an electric band to the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, and after its members had made other commitments, he hired Robertson and Mr. Helm for a summer tour. At their first rehearsals, Mr. Helm recalled, his reaction to Dylan was, "I couldn't believe how many words this guy had in his music, or how he remembered them all.'' Before playing their first show, at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in New York, Dylan told the band, "Just keep playing, no matter how weird it gets.''
They polarized the audience and were booed, and while a subsequent concert at the Hollywood Bowl was better received, another band member, the keyboardist Al Kooper, chose to leave. At that point Mr. Helm told Albert Grossman, Dylan's manager, "Take us all, or don't take anybody.'' The Hawks became Dylan's band.
They backed Dylan on a studio single, "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?'' and toured with him through the fall. Mr. Helm quit the band late in 1965. "I wasn't made to be booed,'' he wrote.
Dylan had a motorcycle accident in 1966 that ended his touring with the Hawks.
In winter 1967, the band summoned Mr. Helm to rejoin them. With Manuel on drums, Mr. Helm picked up mandolin, although he would soon return to drums.
Grossman got the Hawks their own recording contract with Capitol in February 1968, initially as the Crackers, a name Capitol didn't like. There was no band name on the LP label or front cover of "Music From Big Pink,'' the group's debut album, which simply had a painting by Dylan as its cover. The LP label listed all the musicians' names, while inside the double-fold album cover, the musicians were listed under the words "The Band.''
"The name of the group is just our Christian names,'' Robertson insisted in a September 1968 interview. But the band became the Band.
Released on July 1, 1968, the year after "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,'' "Music From Big Pink'' was "rebelling against the rebellion,'' Mr. Helm wrote. There were no elaborate studio confections, no psychedelic jams, no gimmicks; the music was stately and homespun, with a deliberately old-time tone behind the enigmatic lyrics. Sales were modest but the album's influence was huge, leading musicians like Eric Clapton and the Grateful Dead back toward concision.
Adding to its mystique, the Band didn't tour until 1969 because Danko broke his neck in an auto accident. It made its concert debut as the Band at Winterland in San Francisco in April 1969.
By then, the Band was well into recording its second album, simply titled "The Band,'' which would include the group's only Top 30 single, "Up on Cripple Creek.'' The album was universally hailed, and the Band played a summer of huge pop festivals, backing Dylan at the Isle of Wight and performing in August at Woodstock.
The Band would never match its two initial masterpieces. By the time the group started recording its 1970 album, "Stage Fright,'' members were drinking heavily and using heroin, and there were disputes over songwriting credits and publishing royalties, of which Robertson had by far the greatest share. The collaborative spirit of the first two albums was disappearing. But the Band's career had momentum; it toured internationally and a live album, "Rock of Ages,'' reached the Top 10 in 1972. In 1974, the Band made a studio album with Dylan, "Planet Waves,'' and toured with him; "The Basement Tapes,'' a collection of songs with and without Dylan from the Big Pink era, was released in 1975.
In September 1976, Robertson decided to declare the end of the Band's touring career with a grand finale: "The Last Waltz,'' an all-star concert at Winterland on Thanksgiving 1976. Recorded for an album, it was also filmed by Martin Scorsese and released under the same title. Mr. Helm hated the film, believing that it glorified Robertson and slighted the rest of the Band. After "The Last Waltz,'' the original Band lineup returned to the studio for one last album, the desultory "Islands.''
Mr. Helm, a heavy smoker, contracted throat cancer in the late 1990s, and for months he could not speak above a whisper. A tumor was removed from his vocal cords, and he underwent 28 radiation treatments. Medical bills threatened him with the loss of his home. Partly to raise money, in 2004 he began putting on concerts called Midnight Rambles at his barn: leisurely house parties with unannounced guest stars, featuring a band of his own that delved into old and new Americana as well as the Band catalog.
His voice strengthened, and the core of his Midnight Ramble bands became a touring and recording group; it performed in 2009 at the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival on its site in Bethel, N.Y., although Mr. Helm was unable to sing that night. Mr. Helm's 2007 and 2009 studio albums, "Dirt Farmer'' and "Electric Dirt,'' won Grammy Awards, as did his 2011 "Ramble at the Ryman'' recorded live in Nashville and broadcast on PBS.
Mr. Helm leaves his wife, the former Sandra Dodd, a daughter, Amy Helm, from a previous relationship, and two grandchildren.

Hagen Heights Vineyard2002 Cabernet Sauvignon
(Napa Valley)
D.J. and Diane Smith released their first wine, a 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon, to widespread critical acclaim. The winery is located
in the southeastern end of Napa Valley about nine miles from the San Francisco Bay. The cooler climate there allows for two to three weeks longer hang time, or ripening of the grapes.
Mike Wolf, whose client list includes Robert Mondavi, Silver Oak, Etude, Harlan Estate, Far Niente, Duckhorn, Merryvale and Cakebread, was vineyard construction manager. Heather Pyle, who worked on the Robert Mondavi Reserve reds in the 1980's and 1990's, is winemaker, and Raul Gloria is vineyard manager. The vineyard's volcanic cinder/creek bed loam soils are planted to Bordeaux Cabernet Franc Clone 332, U.C. Davis Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 8 and Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 337, all grown on 101-14 rootstock.
The Smith's released only 250 cases of this promising new Cabernet Sauvignon. It is smooth and supple with fine-grain tannins, and notes of baked fruit, mission fig, mulberry, tar and vanilla. Spot-on varietal character comes through on the long, expressive finish. Though enjoyable right out of the bottle, decanting for aeration will bring out even more character.

BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF MAUI Sep 25, 2008
The girls and i took the "hana gold" combo. which is a 50min. helicopter ride and afterward a "road to hana" van tour.
In the air, helicopter next to plunging waterfalls, take the "magic carpet ride" above miles of verdant jungle and soar across spectacular coastline of one of our nation's largest rainforests. Then, from the ground, climb aboard your mini coach on a spectacular ground tour all in one day. we were given our breakfast snacks.
you can also purchase the DVD or photo near the helicopter. which us girls shared and bought. which we will burn and copy.
steve our pilot was very infomative. he has lived in maui for 5 years. he was a helicopter pilot in alaska prior to maui. he took us on a smooth ride. he showed us beautiful views. it was raining during our ride. he gave us "S" turns to give us photo opps.
the van tour was very secure. our driver, brian, was a very good driver. his tour guide was a bit boring however, we made it safe for all the sharp turns and windy road to Hana. he was very flexible with stopping at the beautiful views.
i do love taking photos of high cliffs and beaches. brian even asked us if we have any special request to stop briefly on the way back to our hotels.
the tour gave a reasonable of time to see all the points of interests given. brian would give us 15min. he would have time to go for a dip in the ocean. the girls and i already are wearing our bikini just in case we wanted to swim.
the drive to hana was plenty of work which what "hana" means. my mum and i back in 2005 only did half of the trip. hana is such a quint town. i would recommend taking this tour package.

Riccardo Montolivo was happy with his first competitive Italy goal and hailed his teammate. "If this is the real Mario Balotelli…"
The Milan midfielder unleashed a screamer to open the scoring in tonight's 3-1 World Cup qualifying win over Denmark at San Siro.
"The Coach doesn't ask me to score, though obviously it doesn't hurt if it arrives," he said after previously netting only in a friendly against Spain.
"It came in a decisive moment tonight, as Denmark were pushing hard and with two goals in five minutes we changed the course of the game.
"The Danes are certainly organised and we struggled to find the right timing for our runs, always arriving a moment late to the ball. The goal changed the match."
Denmark scored in first half stoppages and 16 seconds after the restart Pablo Daniel Osvaldo was sent off.
"I thought it was going to be tough, as it really is hard for an entire half with 10 men at this level. It was a great shame, as just a few seconds after the restart Daniel got this red card. It was tough.
"There was a moment when I considered passing it, but I made that mistake a few days ago, so I saw the net and opted to shoot."
Balotelli was inspirational, scoring and working for the team to earn a standing ovation at San Siro.
"I think in the second half when we were down to 10 men, Balotelli was magnificent. He was the entire front line, holding up the ball, running on to passes and keeping the defenders busy.
"He worked so hard for the team. If this is the real Balotelli, then we've got a great future ahead of us."
Montolivo is used as a trequartista for the Azzurri, but has often said he dislikes that role.
"My ideal position is not a classic trequartista. I have other characteristics, so trying to be a reference point for my teammates and to spread the play. I am certainly not the one who has his back to goal and runs at defenders!
"We had this idea to rotate the midfield four during the game, so Marchisio went into the trequartista position at times. It is tough to do and takes time.
"In recent games with Milan I think I played well in a three-man midfield. To be a trequartista, at least for me, it requires a team like this with a lot of possession and rotation in the middle."

NEW YORK--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Crystal & Company, a leading national insurance brokerage firm, in collaboration with MetLife, announces a unique long term disability (LTD) insurance plan: CrystalMax. CrystalMax is well-suited to serve the specific needs of financial firms where talented, higher income earners are attracted by exclusive benefits packages.
"We heard from a lot of our clients—particularly at small and mid-sized financial institutions—that they wanted to be able to offer their employees additional income protection in case they suffer from a serious illness"
The risk is real. According to research from WebMD, one in three employees will become disabled before retirement. However, limited options in the market prevent mid-sized financial institutions from providing adequate protection to their employees in the event they are unable to work due to illness or injury.
Standard LTD policies cover 60% of earnings up to $10K a month, which is inadequate protection for high earning employees. Additionally, most employer-sponsored coverage doesn't include bonus and commissions in the calculation of earnings, which can be a significant percentage of a worker's paycheck.
CrystalMax provides enhanced income protection to high earners and those whose salaries depend on variable compensation to maintain their quality of life, preventing them from suffering financial and personal hardship. Coverage is available to all employees — without individual medical underwriting — for a monthly benefit of up to $50K.
The distinctive group plan is available for financial institutions with at least 40 employees.
"We heard from a lot of our clients—particularly at small and mid-sized financial institutions—that they wanted to be able to offer their employees additional income protection in case they suffer from a serious illness," said Michael S. Grant, Executive Managing Director of Employee Benefit Services at Crystal & Company.
"There is now a big focus from a benefits perspective to assure that employees feel valued and have adequate protection when they need it the most. However, many high-income earners are forced to buy their own disability coverage to protect themselves, in addition to what their employer offers. This added coverage often comes with a costly premium due to a medical underwriting requirement. CrystalMax solves that concern," he added.
CrystalMax is Crystal & Company's latest example of delivering customized, multi-year benefits strategies to help financial institutions attract and retain a talented workforce.

Crystal & Company is the home for talented insurance professionals: creative, committed to their clients and driven to deliver extraordinary results.

Anger is a normal human emotion. Uncontrolled anger, however, can lead to aggression. This can cause physiological problems and lead to harmful behaviour.
Aggression first begins in the toddler years. This is when children are naturally more aggressive than any other age group. A toddler's inability to talk may be one reason why aggression starts at this age.
Toddlers and young children need to learn how to control their emotions. Otherwise, frequent aggression over time can cause problems in school, at home and with their friends and family. One study found that 1 in 7 children who had aggression early in life that increased as they aged were at a higher risk of:
Anger management helps a child develop better ways to cope with angry feelings.
The goal of anger management is to reduce negative feelings. This can help reduce the negative physiological changes caused by anger. Like other emotions, anger can cause physiological changes such as a rise in blood pressure, and an increase in your energy hormones like adrenaline.
There are three main ways your child can deal with angry feelings:
The more a child expresses anger, the less likely he will have an angry outburst. Expressing anger requires him to communicate. He needs to be able to start sentences with phrases like, "I'm mad because…" or "I'm feeling angry because…". Children need to express what their needs are. They need to express how their needs can be met without hurting others. Parents can help their children understand their emotions by asking them how they are feeling when they are calm and happy. Then can ask how their children feel when they are mad. It may also help to point out other people's emotions or feelings, such as "that man on TV looks angry."
Anger can be suppressed and converted into another emotion. This can occur if your child focuses on something else that is positive. This is a good technique for older children or teenagers.
The technique here is to help your child recognize his anger, and then convert the anger into something positive and constructive. You could ask your young child to draw pictures how he is feeling. An older child may write a note. He may confront whatever is causing the anger by offering an alternative solution to the problem.
There is a danger to this technique. If your child does not convert the anger, the unexpressed anger can harm his health. Unexpressed anger may cause high blood pressure or depression.
You should not be so afraid of suppressing your child's anger that you begin to allow unacceptable behaviours. Children who are 'rewarded' for temper tantrums will continue to have them. Unacceptable outbursts should calmly be met with natural and logical consequences. For example, if they break a toy in a fit of rage, that toy should not be replaced. If they break a family members' object, they should pay for it through their allowance or by doing additional chores.
Every child needs to learn how to calm their emotions. This helps them to control their outward behaviour. Helpful exercises include:
If you believe your child's anger is really out of control and affecting how he interacts with his family and friends, see the doctor. Your family doctor can refer you to a psychologist, or other licensed mental health professional. They can work with your child and the family. They can help develop ways to change your child's thinking and responses. This can help improve his behaviour.
Here are some tips you can share with your child. They can help your child control his angry feelings:
Go into another room. Have him take a break from the situation that is making him angry. Let the emotions subside.
Once your child is calm, encourage him to express his frustration in a non-confrontational way. For example, have your child complete the sentence: "I'm feeling angry because…".
Some children respond well to discipline classes. These include karate or other types of martial arts. Other children respond to classes that encourage relaxation such as yoga and meditation. They focus on breathing and stretching.

I had never played with pre-supplied arguments. That is atleast a possible way of limiting the dangers here. But you'd need one line per user, unless you want them to have the same mount points. I'd say we're talking about a lot more more work than vfs.generic.usermount :-) You also need to check up so that people can't mount filesystems with runnable programs with suid, and so on.

When our bodies are under chronic stress—such as with work, house projects, deadlines and other personal issues—we tend to eat more. This is because high levels of stress trigger your body to release the hormone cortisol, which causes our senses to be heightened and our heart to pump blood and large amounts of energy to our muscles. If our muscles use all of this energy, we need to continue supplying our body with more so we can perform at this level. Thus, the snacking begins!
In order to decrease your stress levels and slow weight gain, it is important to do things that allow you to feel pleasure. Choose exercises that you enjoy and will help decrease stress, including yoga, Pilates and meditation. Focus on how much you eat and how much sleep you get, as stress directly causes issues for both of these daily tasks.
Remember, long-term stress can lead to weight gain. Take control and try to minimize your stress levels to be a happier, healthier you!

Commerce Secretary Bryson Resigns
U.S. Secretary of Commerce John Bryson resigned his office Thursday after being involved in multiple car accidents and suffering a seizure in early June.
"I have concluded that the seizure I suffered on June 9th could be a distraction from my performance as secretary and that our country would be better served by a change in leadership at the department," wrote Bryson, in a letter of resignation submitted to President Barack Obama.
Bryson was found unconscious in his car after two hit-and-run accidents, one involving multiple collisions with the same vehicle. There was no indication of any drug or alcohol use, and Bryson was diagnosed with a complex partial seizure. Police are investigating the accidents, but no charges have been filed. Bryson had taken a leave of absence following the accident.
Obama accepted the resignation, and thanked Bryson for his service.
"As secretary, John fought tirelessly for our nation's businesses and workers, helping to bolster our exports and promote American manufacturing and products at home and abroad," Obama said in a statement.
Bryson served as commerce secretary for just eight months. He was confirmed on October 21, 2011, succeeding Gary Locke in the position. Bryson had served as Chairman and CEO of Edison International, the parent company of Southern California Edison. He also served as a director on the board of Boeing. He had served as President of California's Public Utilities Commission from 1979 to 1982, and as chair of the Pacific Council on International Policy from 2008 to 2011.
Deputy Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank has been serving as acting commerce secretary since Bryson began his leave of absence, and will continue in that role. She also served as acting secretary during the period between Locke's resignation and Bryson's confirmation.

Perinatal teams can practice handling emergencies without endangering patients or risking litigation. Hospitals and insurers are taking notice.
Many senior obstetricians—you may be among them—have vivid recall of performing their first vaginal delivery as an intern or junior resident, guided by a seasoned obstetric nurse or senior resident. "See one, do one, teach one," an unwritten motto at large teaching hospitals, aptly characterized the learning environment for many older physicians.
Regrettably, obstetric residents and fellows today face a very different situation. Restrictions on residents' working hours, financial pressures that make attending faculty less available for supervision, and wariness prompted by malpractice litigation—all these have made such teaching cases less available. So, how can physicians-in-training acquire the skills they will need in practice? And how can experienced clinicians breathe life back into skills that they use infrequently but are nonetheless critical?
We believe the answer can be found in the educational technique of simulation, which we describe in this article.
Simulation provides opportunities for physicians to practice, gain experience, and refresh. The technique offers a credible way to augment the educational curriculum and, even in the absence of unequivocal proof, to improve patient safety and reduce the likelihood of adverse outcomes.1 For that reason, some malpractice insurers are making simulation training part of their safety and risk reduction initiatives.

BRAMPTON, ON. (Oct. 19, 2010) – 2,500 hockey pucks. That's the weight equivalent of how much waste each Peel resident generates annually.
In 2009, the Region of Peel managed approximately 500,000 tonnes of waste from more than 400,000 households in Brampton, Mississauga and Caledon. This includes blue box and green bin material, yard waste and garbage as well as material collected at Community Recycling Centres, such as household hazardous waste, tires and scrap metal. That's enough waste to fill approximately 62,000 curbside garbage trucks.
"Large municipalities like Peel, which has more than 1.2 million residents, generate a lot of waste. The challenge is to find ways to keep that waste from going to landfill," says Norman Lee, Director of Waste Management at the Region of Peel. "Thanks to the efforts of Peel residents to diligently sort their recyclable material and dispose of their hazardous waste safely, 75 per cent of the residential waste generated in Peel last year was recycled into new products or converted into energy."
Approximately half of Peel's total waste is recycled through the blue box, green bin and yard waste programs, and Community Recycling Centres. The remaining waste is collected as garbage. Half of Peel's non-recyclable garbage is converted to energy at the Algonquin Power Energy-from-Waste facility in Brampton. The other half is sent to landfill near Sarnia.
Last year, the Region collected more than 100,000 tonnes of blue box material from households, apartments and condominiums. Blue box recycling has many benefits: it conserves natural resources by using old materials to make new ones, it requires less energy than producing products from natural resources and it reduces the need for landfill. As well, blue box materials are valuable commodities that enable the Region to offset the operating costs of its recycling programs.
The Region also collected 33,000 tonnes of green bin material and 55,000 tonnes of leaf and yard waste that were mixed together to produce compost.
"In the spirit of Waste Reduction Week, we want Peel residents to know that their reduction, reuse and recycling efforts are making a difference," says Lee. "It only takes a few minutes each day to properly separate blue box and green bin waste, and the benefits of these actions help create a healthy environment for current and future generations."
Last year Peel recycled approximately:
"We are pleased that Peel residents recycle so much, but in order to become a more sustainable community we need to reduce the amount of waste we generate in the first place," adds Lee. "Manufacturers need to start producing products and packaging that are environmentally responsible, and residents can play a role by evaluating their purchasing habits and reusing as many of their existing items as possible."
Waste Reduction Week runs from Oct. 18 to 24, 2010. To learn more visit www.wrwcanada.com.
The Region of Peel provides waste management services in the Cities of Brampton and Mississauga and in the Town of Caledon. For more information on these programs call the Region of Peel at 905-791-9499 or in long-distance areas of Caledon call 905-584-2216, free of charge.

New Perspectives on the Blues
Publication Year: 2008
Published by: University of Illinois Press
Series: African American Music in Global Perspective
Title Page
Copyright Page
The years since the late 1950s have seen a dramatic growth in scholarly and popular literature about blues music. Blues was certainly mentioned in print before this time, but previous writers had almost universally viewed it as either simply a type of folk music, more or less anonymous and unchanging, or a "root" form of jazz...
1. Bourdon, Blue Notes, and Pentatonism in the Blues: An Africanist Perspective
On the afternoon of August 1, 1997, David Evans, Moya Aliya Malamusi, and I set out to visit the blues singer and guitarist Robert "Wolfman" Belfour at his home in Memphis (Fig. 1.1). Moya, who had intensively studied the music and lyrics of blues-like bangwe...
2. "They Cert'ly Sound Good to Me": Sheet Music, Southern Vaudeville, and the Commercial Ascendancy of the Blues
The era of popular blues music was not suddenly set into motion by Mamie Smith's 1920 recording of "Crazy Blues." By the time Mamie Smith was allowed to walk into a commercial recording studio, the blues was an American entertainment institution with an abounding legendary and a firmly established father fi gure, W. C. Handy...
3. Abbe Niles, Blues Advocate
One day in the spring of 1925 a young Wall Street attorney walked into the Times Square office of Handy Brothers Music Company. He had an appointment to interview W. C. Handy, the fifty-one-year-old songwriter who had penned a string of blues hits between 1912 and 1922. The lawyer's name was Abbe Niles, and he...
4. The Hands of Blues Guitaritsts
In this paper I contend that there was regional clustering to the ways that African American folk and blues guitar players from the early part of the twentieth century held their picking hands and that these postures facilitated certain musical patterns while inhibiting others. The player's picking hand posture therefore...
5. From Bumble Bee Slim to Black Boy Shine: Nicknames of Blues Singers
During his fieldwork in the Mississippi Delta in 1967, folklorist William Ferris was impressed by the importance of nicknames of blues singers in their communities. He wrote, "Nicknames such as 'Pine Top,' 'Cairo,' and 'Poppa Jazz' are more important than surnames and often when I inquired after actual names no one...
6. Preachin' the Blues: A Textual Linguistic Analysis of Son House's "Dry Spell Blues"
As an introduction to Son House's musical activity, I summarize here what we have come to know about him. Despite some questionable evidence of a much earlier date of birth,1 it is generally agreed that Eddie James "Son" House Jr., was born...
7. Some Ramblings on Robert Johnson's Mind: Critical Analysis and Aesthetic Value in Delta Blues
The issue of aesthetic value implicitly informs most studies of the blues, as it does most studies of other musics. Fundamental decisions about which pieces are worthy of study and about the nature of their importance depend on judgments about the manner in which they are better or worse than others. Such value judgment...
8. "Guess These People Wonder What I'm Singing": Quotation and Reference in Ella Fitzgerald's "St. Louis Blues"
Ella Fitzgerald (1917–96), the celebrated jazz singer, was not known as a singer of the blues.1 In fact, her blues have generally been dismissed by jazz writers on grounds they lack such attributes as "primitive guts," "raw ring," "primal" emotion, and "gruff hoarse passion."2 As historian Albert Murray reminds us, blues...
9. Beyond the Mushroom Cloud: A Decade of Disillusion in Black Blues and Gospel Song
The commercial issuing of African American blues and gospel recordings effectively began in 1920 (a very few religious recordings were made before that date).1 Although the gospel songs mostly stressed the devotional element in their lyrics,...

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 2 – Intermediate)
Topic: Illustrate the meaning of "A Man is Known by the Company He Keeps" (without using the actual phrase). (01/31/08)
TITLE: Edge of Darkness
By Denise Stanford
I'd seen him only once before. That first meeting had been wary for both of us. Jani presented with a history of drug abuse and from experience, I was not going to take all he said as gospel.
It was a standard question to which he replied, "No I'm not using now. I haven't since I gave my life to Jesus."
He glanced up unsure of how that was taken, once reassured he had told how it all came about. His had been a thrilling but dangerous journey into the arms of God and he was convinced it would cost him his life.
Today he came again, nervous, tense; a slight tremble to his hands raised my concern.
"They're after me I know it. They don't like losing. But I've made up my mind I'm going through with it. I need you to pray for me, it's all I ask."
Commonsense arguments were met with a watery smile, only when I assured him I would be praying did he look me in the eye, thank me and take his leave.
What Jani dreaded so much had been set up for tonight, in a sleazy club on the edge of the city, and he would be there even though he knew it was dangerous! It all sounded so melodramatic, but still it held the ring of truth. I couldn't forget the sense of resignation about him, the same kind of distorted peace that came over the suicidal when they were about to activate their plan.
As soon as I could, I finished up at the office. In the op shop, I smiled weakly and paid, murmuring something about "…fancy dress, tarts and vicars'' They smiled back nodding knowingly.
It was a long drive, I had trouble finding the place, and worried I'd be too late. Bouncers hesitated at the door until I dropped a threat and a name Jani hinted meant trouble. They stepped aside and let me in.
Music, loud with primal beat, pulsed with the lights. Hot air thick with smoke and threats, was stirred by urgent angry voice. I saw a huddle thick, dark, muscular moving as a body of threat.
Suddenly all hell let loose as the huddle was jostled by police colliding with everyone. Shouts to freeze sent me spinning to the floor and through a forest of legs I saw the pale face of Jani as he was dropped.
Stepped on and kicked, I crawled to his space and cradled him, crooning as I stroked his damp hair. Sightless eyes stared back as blood, warm and sticky seeped into my hand. The wound was tiny; the thrust of the long delicate blade had been dealt with surgical precision straight through the heart.
The room cleared and I drifted in a haze of disbelief. I felt a strong hand grip my shoulder, and a voice nearby said,
"She's not part of this, leave her."
How was I not part of this? I hadn't stopped it. It was wrong so wrong; I should have tried harder, spoken louder, and been stronger. A detective crouched nearby searching for Jani's absent pulse. My anger welled up and over flowed,
"Don't judge me, how do you know I had no part in this?" I met his gaze with defiance; I felt so much a part of the injustice.
The detective moved his head, a slight chin lift that caused me to glance behind me. An angel army of men stood, surrounding us, victorious, strong and powerful, as endowed with the Glory of God as the previous occupants of the room had been entrenched in darkness.
"With you I believe,"
I look back at Jani, brave young warrior who had given his all to expose the evil he had escaped.
"With us"

My material list:
14 inch Styrofoam wreath.
Yarn from my stash (fall colors)
straight pins
The first step is to wrap the foam wreath with yarn. It was wrapped with two strands of yarn rolled into one ball. Dark brown and Red Hearts Fiesta in rust was used. I secured it with straight pins and used fray check on the ends of the yarn.
I crocheted the leaves and other components. Straight pins were used to secure them to the wreath.
Here is the finished product.
It was quick and easy to finish. Great for using up leftover yarn. Plus the leaves could be used in other craft projects. Here is the link to the free pattern

CAMANO ISLAND, WASH. — Colton Harris-Moore has been a one-boy crime wave since he was 7 years old.
He has broken into houses, stolen cars and burglarized markets, hardware stores and cafes for years on this rural, woodsy island north of Seattle.
Since early 2008, when he escaped from a juvenile holding facility, Harris-Moore, now 18, has been leading police on a fruitless chase through Washington, Canada and Idaho -- stealing two boats and crash-landing three planes (he taught himself to fly on his computer, authorities suspect) along the way, police say.
Now it looks like he may be back.
Police are investigating a wave of burglaries over the last few weeks on Camano Island and nearby Whidbey Island. There are no official suspects, but many here are convinced that the youth whose Facebook fan club numbers more than 7,000, often described as a teenage Jesse James, is responsible.

After passing the Hurricanes in their late season surge up the Eastern Conference standings, the Senators will be looking to avoid losing all three games against Carolina this season.
Gameday Preview: Hurricanes at Senators
Carolina Hurricanes (32-32-10)
Ottawa Senators (31-29-14)
Canadian Tire Centre: 7:30 pm ET
Television: Sportsnet, TVA
After passing the Hurricanes in their late season surge up the Eastern Conference standings, the Senators will be looking to avoid losing all three games against Carolina this season.
Goal prevention has been major story through the first two games. The Senators have been outscored by an aggregate score of 10-4, but when the Senators have allowed the league-worst 249 goals, that probably will not come as a shock.
The stakes for this one are pretty simple: the loser of this game will likely be eliminated from the 2014 playoff contention.
To Ottawa's credit, they are on a bit of a roll of late and, after beating the Calgary Flames 6-3 yesterday afternoon, the Senators will be looking to win back-to-back games on consecutive days for the first time all season.
If you are holding out some hope that Ottawa can change its fortunes, the Senators did pick up three of four points in their most recent back-to-back games on consecutive days, so maybe they are due. The Senators picked up a shootout win in Tampa last Monday before losing in a shootout to Florida the following night.
In the Hurricanes, the Senators will be taking on a rested team that last played on Saturday night – a loss at home to Columbus.
Carolina has given the Senators fits of late. Including their aforementioned two losses this season, the Senators have also dropped six of their past seven to the Hurricanes.
Lineup Notes:
Yesterday marked the return of Chris Phillips to the Senators' lineup. The veteran defenceman missed the team's previous two games after sustaining an injury in last Monday's game in Tampa Bay.
To accommodate Phillips, Cody Ceci was scratched from the lineup by Paul MacLean. It was the first time that Ceci had been made a healthy scratch at the NHL level. Since the time of his promotion in mid-December, Ceci had played in 41 consecutive games.
Robin Lehner started each the first two games, but he was also pulled in the most recent game and replaced by Craig Anderson. Lehner's line against the Hurricanes this season is a putrid 0-2-0 with a 4.82 goals against average and a save percentage of .862.
Since Lehner started the first game of this back-to-back set, expect the rested Anderson to assume the crease duties for tonight's game.
Interesting Stat #1
This an interesting stat from the Twitter user @wham_city that contrasts how the Senators give up a higher percentage of shots to the opposition (SF%), but average more puck possession (CF%).
difference between Sens CF% and total SF% is the largest in the league pic.twitter.com/SFkrXLQwug — scott (@Wham_City) March 31, 2014
Interesting Stat #2
Carolina is only one of three Eastern Conference teams that the Senators have not scored a power play goal against this season. The New York Islanders and Buffalo Sabres are the others.
Interesting Stat #3
Since the start of February, no Senator has more goals than Milan Michalek's nine. Just ask Michalek's representative Alan Walsh, I'm sure he will be more than happy to point it out on Twitter.

Randall Terry Previews Iowa "Campaign Ad"
Randall Terry said he would run against Barack Obama so he could buy Super Bowl ads with gruesome pictures of aborted fetuses. His "path to the presidency?" He's going beat Obama in a Democratic primary.
Well, probably not with this ad, since it attacks the President using Republican talking points. Oh, and no little dismembered limbs, either.

Memorial parade marshal Fisher to highlight the art of remembrance
Updated 6:50 am, Monday, May 27, 2013
World War II veteran and accomplished artist Leonard Everett Fisher has been named grand marshal of Monday's Memorial Day parade in Westport.
Fisher, 88, served with the U.S. Army's 30th Engineer Topographic Battalion and helped create maps for Allied campaigns in the Mediterranean, European and Pacific theaters.
After the war he worked as an artist, illustrating more than 200 books for young readers, authoring more than 90 books, and designing 10 United States postage stamps.
Fisher and his wife, Margery, have been Westport residents since 1957, and he was a founding member of the Westport-Weston Arts Council (now called the Westport Arts Center).
Examples of Fisher's art are included in the Library of Congress.
"I think it's a great honor," Fisher said of his selection as parade marshal. "I'm really humbled by it and left a little speechless."
William Vornkahl, president of the Westport Veterans Council, said Fisher met the two most important criteria for serving as the Memorial Day honoree.
"One: a great war record; and two: doing something good in the community. And Leonard really mounts up to both this year," said Vornkahl, who for the last 43 years has helped organize the local Memorial Day parade.
Fisher enlisted in the army on Dec. 1, 1942. He was stationed in North Africa and later the Hawaiian Islands. His work on maps helped advance the Allies' operations in Italy, France, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Japan.
He was honorably discharged Jan. 22, 1946, and later attended Yale University's School of Art, earning a bachelor's degree and a master's in fine arts.
But Fisher's interest in art began much earlier, he said.
"I was on that path when I was 2 years old. I'm a third- generation doodler. This has been in my DNA all my life," said Fisher, who grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The Memorial Day parade steps off at 9 a.m. Monday at Saugatuck Elementary School on Riverside Avenue. The parade route runs north to Route 1 and heads east over the Post Road bridge, turns left onto Myrtle Avenue and passes a review stand in front of Town Hall. The parade will turn left on Main Street and end in Parker-Harding Plaza.
Following the parade, First Selectman Gordon Joseloff and Fisher will give brief speeches on Veterans' Memorial Green, located between Main Street and Myrtle Avenue.
A wreath in honor of fallen soldiers will be placed in front of the World War I Doughboy statue, erected in 1930.
Fisher said he is the last living member of his Army unit and plans to use his speech to pay homage to deceased soldiers.
"I will discuss what this Memorial Day is all about," he said.

Story highlights
- Hutcherson and Hemsworth will see instant Hollywood fame after "The Hunger Games"
- Lawrence experienced an instant rise to fame when she was nominated for an Oscar
- Any form of success or notoriety means everything in your life is fair game
Four years ago, if someone said "Robert Pattinson" or "Taylor Lautner" to you, nine out of 10 people would have shrugged their shoulders and said "Who?"
Now, they're pretty much among the most wanted and talked-about actors in Hollywood -- and it's all thanks to the whopping success of the "Twilight" franchise. And while the "Breaking Dawn" films will mark the end of that series, nearly everyone in the know has pegged "The Hunger Games" as the next "Twilight."
So, take note of these names: Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth -- the next young megastars who will face the gift and curse of instant Hollywood fame. As the two male leads in "Hunger," their careers will receive an instant injection of megawatt star power and credibility, they'll be remarkably wealthy and among the A-list ... but they'll also be scrutinized and trailed by the paparazzi and media everywhere they go.
That's the trade-off these days, where any form of success or notoriety means everything in your life is now fair game -- chum in the water for the media sharks. Most actors and Hollywood stars gradually work their way up the ladder, but with the cult teen followings of "Twilight" and "Hunger" -- and both series' decisions to go with less-than-well-known names as the leads (save for Jennifer Lawrence in "Games") -- the transition from working actor to on-the-cover-of-everything can be a tough one to swallow.
Thankfully for Hutcherson and Hemsworth, they have co-stars, girlfriends (Hemsworth has been dating Miley Cyrus on and off, and Hutcherson was linked to Vanessa Hudgens) friends and past co-workers who can help steer them through the blinding headlights of fame that are bearing down on them.
Their "Hunger" co-star Lawrence experienced the same instant rise last year when she was nominated for an Oscar for her turn in "Winter's Bone." She went from relatively unknown actress to hot-new during awards season and will surely serve as a fame coach for her male counterparts.
She recently opined on her methodology for avoiding the pitfalls of fame in a Washington Post interview, saying: "As long as you remember what you're here for -- you're here for the work, you're here to make a film. ... There seems to be some very bizarre habit where as soon as you become big and famous, you think that you don't have to work anymore. And it's just such a weird trend that I'm starting to see. But I run into grounded people all the time. Given, most of them are behind the camera. But I definitely by no means think I'm the only one."
So with that mindset, what can Josh and Liam do to stay (relatively) grounded once they become the next big things? Here's a good checklist.
1. Choose wisely: This should apply to every aspect of your life, from who you surround yourself with and who you date, to what movies you are thinking of tackling. All of the minutiae of your life is now in full view, and a certain portion of the media loves nothing more than to exploit every misstep. Take a look to your left or right the next time you're in a business meeting or out with friends and ask yourself: "Is this person here for me, or for their own benefit?"
2. Stay (somewhat) private: We've already discussed the nosy media, but now with Twitter and other social media, celebrities can live out every action, thought and event in real time for all of the world to see. Sure, it's a great promotional vehicle, but it's one more trap that is 100% avoidable. Don't want your Twitter account hacked where someone posts nasty things in your name? Well, don't have a Twitter account. If you keep access to yourself somewhat limited, when you do actually have something to say, it makes it that much more powerful. Otherwise, people will get bored with hearing you tell them what you ate for lunch that day and miss the good stuff when you've got it. Plus, it adds a bit of mystery and allure to you.
3. Don't live in Los Angeles: Yes, it's where most movies are made and where all of your agents and associates are. Yes, it's got great weather, killer clubs/restaurants and all that. It also has a cannibalistic, frenzied media who pay their rent by looking to capture your lowest moments. Naturally, not having "low moments" is the more prudent option here, but keeping an apartment in L.A. for work trips and residing elsewhere ('Captain America' himself Chris Evans recently told us he couldn't take L.A. and moved back to his hometown of Boston) will surely minimize the paparazzi hassle.
4. Charity, charity, charity: You've struck it big -- now give back. Not only will it make you feel fulfilled (Josh has already been working with Straight But Not Narrow , a clever gay rights PSA), but it'll expose you to new audiences and groups who may not be drooling over "Hunger Games."
5. Don't be a jerk: If being well-adjusted and great acting travel at the speed of sound, news of being a difficult you-know-what whips through Hollywood at light speed. Agents, publicists, writers -- we all know each other, and we all talk about who's nice and who's a nightmare. Simply put: Just be nice.
