Research at Mass General
We recently discovered novel, gut-restricted genes, Isx and Nkx6.3. Our research demonstrates that Isx is important for regulating metabolism and immunity in the intestine. In contrast, Nkx6.3 is pivotal for terminal differentiation of gastrin producing G cells of the stomach. Gastrin is a key component of acid production pathway in the stomach and plays an important role in cancer development and ulcer diseases of the esophagus, stomach, and intestine. We are in the process of elucidating how Isx and Nkx6.3 regulate other genes in these processes. Using the knowledge gained from these mouse models, we are also investigating how cells can differentiate or transdifferentiate by direct cellular reprogramming with transcription factors. Together, these studies represent novel approaches toward understanding fundamental aspects of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary biology that are pertinent to regenerative medicine and cancer.

Stem cell biology and regulation of hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal development. We recently identified a novel, intestine-restricted, homeodomain-containing transcription factor, Isx. Studies on the Isx-null ileum reveal dysregulated expression of SR-BI. We are in the process of elucidating how Isx regulates this and other related genes. We are also studying Isx and other transcriptional regulators that may be important for cell differentiation in the context of in vitro cellular reprogramming.Functional analysis of the stomach- and hindbrain-restricted homeodomain transcription factor Nkx6.3 Homeodomain transcription factors are important for organogenesis and cell differentiation. The Nkx family illustrates these functions especially well, and the Nkx6 subfamily controls differentiation in central nervous system and pancreas. Nkx6.3, a recent addition to this subfamily, overlaps in expression with Nkx6.1 and Nkx6.2, but its main function is in the stomach. Nkx6.3 knockout mouse has severely reduced number of gastrin producing gastric G cells. They also have very low gastrin and acid levels in the stomach. We are in the process of investigating how Nkx6.3 cooperates with other gastric transcription factors to properly differentiate the stomach.

Did Barney Frank Fart on 'The Rachel Maddow Show'? [VIDEO]
On live TV, there are no second takes, even for the most embarrassing of gaffes. Rep. Barney Frank learned this the hard way on 'The Rachel Maddow Show' last night when he emitted a noise that sounded suspiciously like a fart.
As the Massachusetts congressman opined on job creation, a sound can be heard that's remarkably similar to someone passing gas.
To Frank's credit, he proceeds like nothing happened. But the sound definitely came from somewhere. A squeaky chair perhaps? Only Frank knows for sure.
Watch for yourself, then vote in the poll below:

Puppy tased, punched looks for forever home following rescue
Kane suffered year long abuse before he was rescued
Kane suffered year long abuse before he was rescued
Kane suffered year long abuse before he was rescued
You'd never know from looking that Kane what he's been through, as he runs around bright-eyed with his tail wagging.
"He was locked in a closet, he was tased and punched, definitely underfed, malnourished," Diane William's said.
Williams of West Chester said the dog belonged to her grandkid's dad, who passed away last year.When William's rescued him in November, Kane only weighed 20 pounds. She nursed him back to health, but couldn't keep the 7-month-old puppy, who became just too much for her family to handle.
Joseph's Legacy jumped in to assist.
"There was just something about this one I wanted to help because he'd already been through so much. With abuse and starving," said Joseph's Legacy president Meg Melampy.
Maggie Theders who is a proud parent of four pups and she wanted to help keep Kane out of a shelter and volunteered to foster him.
"I saw his story and I just couldn't. I was like there's no way this dog is going back to the shelter after everything he's been through," said Maggie Theders of Mainville.
Now they're hoping someone falls in love with this puppy and is able to adopt Kane.
"He deserves a last chance to get a good home," Melampy said.
Kane needs a home preferably without other dogs and he is extremely protective. Kane does still need some training, but would be a loving addition to a family.
If you are interested in applying to adopt Kane, email: email@example.com

The University of Minnesota has received a $7 million federal grant to create a childhood obesity center with the goal of transforming the exercise and eating habits of as many as 530 Minnesota families.
Researchers will use the grant, announced Thursday, to connect families with health advocates in medical clinics, enroll them in classes about healthy foods and active lifestyles, and improve their access to healthful foods and recreation opportunities.
While U researchers have tried these approaches individually, they've never wrapped them all around families at once. The goal is to address the multiple social factors that can lead to obesity: lack of access to parks and walking trails, poor food options in low-income neighborhoods and excessive amounts of television and screen time.
These and other influences have fueled a startling increase in American obesity in the past three decades, as well as related health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and even preterm births. The share of children ages 12 to 19 who are overweight has tripled in the United States since 1980. The last survey of Minnesota high school seniors in 2007 found 13 percent of males and 5 percent of females were overweight. Two out of every three Minnesotans are now overweight or obese.
"No successful long-term weight loss interventions for adults have been identified, so preventing obesity among children in the first place is critical,'' said Simone French, a childhood nutrition expert at the U who will direct the center.
A key to the research program will be the advocates, who will work individually with families to keep them on track with weight and exercise goals and to connect them with clinics and educational resources, French said.
Critics often believe obese people simply lack willpower, but French said the root causes of the national obesity epidemic are far more complicated.
"Character flaws and willpower haven't changed in the population over the last 25 years, but yet the obesity prevalence is skyrocketing," she said. "So that right there tells you it's not just someone's lack of willpower or bad character. There's a whole fabric of societal influences on us that are [responsible]."
The researchers will mostly select low-income or ethnically diverse families, which have higher rates of obesity and related diseases such as diabetes. They will also focus on families with preschool children, whose dietary and exercise habits haven't been formed.
Because the project involves prevention, the researchers will not necessarily be selecting families or children who are already obese. Children enrolled in the study will have to at least be in the 50th percentile for weight in their age group, though.
The National Institutes of Health awarded the grant to the U and the HealthPartners Research Foundation, which will collaborate in the research project. The first phase will take place over two years and involve 30 families. The second phase will take place over three years and involve 500 families.
The NIH also awarded childhood obesity grants to Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
Improving access to healthy foods and information is a major goal. The researchers among other things will work with local stores to ensure they stock fresh produce and other healthful foods. They will also use schools in Minneapolis and St. Paul for the family education classes.
HealthPartners' Nancy Sherwood said it is important to provide opportunities "where families spend much of their time" in order to encourage lasting changes in the health routines of children and parents.

Gestational Diabetes
During pregnancy – usually around the 24th week – many women develop gestational diabetes. A diagnosis of gestational diabetes doesn't mean that you had diabetes before you conceived, or that you will have diabetes after giving birth. But it's important to follow your doctor's advice regarding blood glucose (blood sugar) levels while you're planning your pregnancy, so you and your baby both remain healthy.
What is Gestational Diabetes?
Learn when and how gestational diabetes may affect your pregnancy.
How to Treat Gestational Diabetes
Because gestational diabetes can hurt you and your baby, you need to start treatment quickly.
If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes before getting pregnant, you can have a relatively normal pregnancy and give birth to a healthy baby.

Working out can be a real drag sometimes. The long off season soon moves to the in-season and you've pushed yourself to the point where it feels easier just to throw in the towel and focus on the stuff that you're doing on the ice. I have to admit that I've fallen victim to this many times before and I have tried ploughing through my workouts, despite feeling like I would rather stick pins in my eyes.
However, perhaps there is a saviour in your pocket. Since I got my hands on my first smart phone, I've been interested in fitness apps and have used them to a great degree, mainly for running though. The trouble is that when you are training on your own, it is hard to find the motivation or something to push you, so for running, tracking your success is quite a good motivator. But what about the gym? I downloaded an app called Nike BOOM after the Niketraining.ca website was raving about it. Well it was free so it was not like I was going to lose anything.
I gave it a go last night and I must say that I was slightly torn by it. The app basically works as a play list, but the catch is that you get motivational messages from some of the prolific athletes in your chosen sport. So every five minutes or so I'd get either Dion Phaneuf, Jarome Iginla, Steven Stamkos or well established strength and conditioning coaches to tell me to keep going. That is the unique feature of the app. Otherwise it acts like an MP3 player so you can play your favourite album through and through whilst working out.
What I found great about the app was the encouragement and the motivational messages. I was doing hammer curls and during the final set I was about to give up with my arms shaking till I got Phaneuf in my ears saying that 'sometimes you get a voice inside your head to tell you to give up. That voice is not your friend. Keep pushing you're almost there." Sad as it sounds, it did give me a bit of extra motivation to finish the set and I do feel better about it.
The app has modes for working out, warm up and interval training, so it covers the basics of getting fit for your sport. For the interval section I would like to see features similar to the Adidas miCoach app, which I use extensively to track my running progress. At the moment all the Nike BOOM offers is only the encouragement and a music player.
However, I think that the App has a lot more potential than just acting as a music player with the odd occasional "atta boy" thrown at you. The app could be developed further to make sure that you have an all encompassing work out log, where you could record your sets, reps, weights etc so that you can monitor your progress. Or better yet, why not have sample workouts built into the app, designed by the people that are giving you the motivation? That would really set the Nike BOOM app apart from others.
Like said the app is pretty good as it stands, but it has potential to be so much more. If you are in a possession of an iPhone or iPod touch and you want to try it out, I would recommend it. I also think you can get it for your iPad, but you might look like a bit of a tit carrying an iPad around while working out.
In its current form I'd give Nike BOOM a 3/5 stars. If, however, Nike decides to take the app seriously and build in more features I'd be willing to revise the mark.

After 20 years, Fundación Tzedaká is Still Changing Lives.
For 21 years, Fundación Tzedaká, who won an award at the 2010 Latin America Development Marketplace, has been developing social programs and actions to improve the living conditions of citizens who live in poverty in Argentina. Based on a model that works in partnerships, and with a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, they develop programs in areas such as health, education, housing, job training, food, seniors and children, taking family as the focal point of intervention. Transparency, efficient management of resources and consistent accountability are the organization's pillars.
Some of their programs have been recognized for their contribution to society, as is the case of "Refuot", the largest Community Medicine Bank in the country and "Accion Joven"; a training program that helps young adults improve their development and employment performance and the program which won the LAC DM award. Over 750 young adults have been trained for different positions with a high opportunity rate in the job scenarios.

Here's all the proof you need the bloom might be off the Obama rose. Some of his closest business buddies would rather hear from…Rand Paul.
Continue Reading Below
I'm not kidding. The Kentucky Republican Senator has been making the Silicon Valley rounds, and turning more than a few heads.
You're probably thinking, so what's the big deal? These tech guys will listen to anybody, right? Actually, wrong. As a group, this famously entrepreneurial community has been in almost lockstep with Barack Obama. He was, after all, our first high tech president, the first to text his supporters, and at least before the Secret Service took his BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) away, the first to personally email from the White House.
The president represented everything these tech guys loved – suave, smooth, hip, at ease with gadgets without appearing goofy with gadgets. Then something happened. Maybe it was this whole net neutrality thing, or the president all but selling off U.S. oversight of the Internet thing. Maybe it was the health-care law and its myriad regulations and taxes thing. Maybe it was the NSA spying and collecting millions of Americans' phone records thing. Maybe it was just the creeping suspicion the government was getting creepy. Too intrusive, and for this notoriously laissez-faire crowd, too much.
To hear Silicon Valley entrepreneur Garrett Johnson tell it, Rand Paul seemed to get what the president apparently has not, and will not. As he told San Francisco KPIX 5 reporter Mark Kelly, "It's not that I agree with him 100% of the time, I don't agree with my parents 100% of the time, but I still go home for Christmas and Thanksgiving every year."
But Paul sees something else going on here, and this likely Republican presidential candidate is pouncing on it. The president, he says, is anti-innovation. He's anti-freedom. He's anti-technology. By repeatedly bringing up the NSA scandal, Paul carefully picks a scab that reveals Silicon Valley's still festering wound – its customers' loss of confidence.
Many feel the White House betrayed them – not just by spying on them, but by not telling the very companies whose resources they tapped that they were spying on them. This double-breach of trust cuts to the core of Silicon Valley's loss of faith in Washington; even more than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's hammering them for shipping jobs overseas.
Does that make these techies conservative? Not likely. But it does reveal their more libertarian bent. Whether that makes them Conservatarians is anyone's guess. But it clearly makes them more open to hearing from someone like Rand Paul, who's as "government hands off" as any of the likely presidential candidates.
His privacy rights push predates his Washington climb, and that isn't lost on these technology moguls either. The fact that both he and his father, former Texas Congressman Ron Paul, have staked their careers on government over-reach, it isn't surprising to see this community reaching out to hear more from this curious Senator.
That doesn't mean they're falling in love with a Republican, but it does mean they are open to a Republican. If this starts ringing a bell, it should. Remember how Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) Founder Mark Zuckerberg entertained New Jersey Governor Chris Christie at his California mansion last year? Remember as well how Cypress Semiconductor (NASDAQ:CY) CEO T.J. Rodgers bemoaned both parties' intrusions and regulations these past several years?
It's a pattern, and a revealing one. That's not to say this hip crowd is now a Grand Old Party crowd. But it is a restless crowd, and an increasingly ticked off one as well.
Rand Paul sensed that, and seized on that. Just a few years ago, it would have been unthinkable for a prominent Republican to walk into the belly of this supposedly liberal beast. But that was then. Something tells me one crafty Libertarian senses things are very different now.

MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin on Jan. 5 exhorted lawmakers to attack such issues as health care reform, drug abuse and improving public education with the same zeal and creativity that Vermonters showed in rebuilding the state's roads and bridges following Tropical Storm Irene last August.
And Addison County lawmakers on both sides of the aisle said they were up for the challenge.
VERGENNES — The newest addition to the Vergennes landscape towers over the Northlands Job Corps campus and is capable of powering 20 homes.
On Dec. 30, Vermont contractors Engineers Construction and Encore Redevelopment finished installing a 121-foot-tall wind turbine on a knoll on the north end of the Northlands Job Corps campus.
The windmill, built in Barre by Northern Power Systems, will be owned and operated by Green Mountain Power, but the Vergennes job-training center will receive 10 percent of its power output.
BRISTOL — Since Jim Lockridge took over as director of The Hub teen center in Bristol in 2008, new rules have been implemented to reduce substance abuse and profane language, the facility and its resources have grown exponentially and programming has expanded substantially.
The end result?
More kids are coming. The staff has doubled. And thanks to a hefty slate of grants, all of this has happened without a serious impact on local taxes.
WEYBRIDGE — It was 1982, and Jim D'Avignon Sr. thought the time was right for him to spend a little less time under the hoods of vehicles at the family business, the Weybridge Garage, in order to give back to his community as member of the town selectboard.

MIDDLEBURY — Friday's boys' basketball game at Middlebury Union High School had everything one might hope for: atmosphere, a comeback, an outcome not decided until a final shot hit the rim, coaches engaged in a chess match, an outstanding individual performance, teamwork, clutch hoops and free throws, and even solid officiating.
And for the 4-2 Tigers it offered even more: Their biggest win of the young season, 53-50, over a Fair Haven team that came in at 5-1.
BRISTOL — Heading into its second year, Hogback Community College has doubled its course offerings and is expanding beyond the realm of ecology-focused classes to incorporate courses in health, acting and even homebrewing. The first classes start later this month with some getting under way later in the spring.
Based in the five-town region around Bristol, this offshoot of Vermont Family Forests — a local nonprofit dedicated to environmental conservation — doesn't offer grades and doesn't have a campus.

Sad Story: Infant Dies After Being Left In Car For 13 Hours In San Francisco! (Over 110 Degrees)
"Police said a 7-month-old California girl died after being left inside the family car overnight, KTVU-TV in Oakland reported. Authorities said it appears Sofia Wisher's death was an accident, but an investigation is under way. Police said the parents drove home about 11:30 p.m. Saturday from a relative's place, and each parent thought the other had taken the baby out of the car seat." - 11 News

MELBOURNE - Red Bull will put a "very different" car on the track for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix from the model which disappointed during the last test in Bahrain, reigning champion Sebastian Vettel said on Thursday.
Vettel, bidding for a fifth consecutive title, comes into Sunday's race at Albert Park with his team scrambling to come to grips with the new hybrid turbo era in Formula One.
Red Bull, one of four teams using the troubled Renault power unit, was unable to finish a race simulation for either Vettel or his new Australian team mate Daniel Ricciardo, and badly lagged rivals Mercedes and Ferrari in terms of mileage. "It will be a very different car," the 26-year-old told reporters at Albert Park.
"Obviously, we had a lot of problems during the tests, we didn't get to test a lot of stuff and we hope to do some more running here."
Red Bull's struggles to adapt to the new V6 engine have given rival teams hope of ending their four-year stranglehold on the constructors' and drivers' championships, or at a minimum end the German's run of nine consecutive race victories.
Vettel, who has not lost a race since July, said little to lift the gloom hanging over his team's garage, but was adamant that just finishing the race was not the limit of Red Bull's ambitions in Melbourne.
"We know that we are not in the best shape yet. There are a lot of things we need to sort," said Vettel, a 2011 winner at Albert Park and third last year. "Unfortunately, you can't solve all of them overnight. We'd love to but we cant. We really have to go step-by-step together with Daniel.
"It's no secret you need very, very strong reliability to be a title contender. "I'm going out of here not trying to just make it round, I'm going round here to push to the maximum and do the best I can, and then we'll see where we are and how far we get.
"The target, for sure, is to finish, and the target for sure is to finish in the best possible position. That's the mindset, it's fairly straightforward. "We have a strong team, good people on board ... I'm confident we should progress as the season goes on."
After an occasionally tempestuous five years with the plain-spoken Mark Webber, Vettel has a younger Australian team mate in the garage in Ricciardo, who graduated from sister team Toro Rosso.
Vettel joked that he had little advice to give the 24-year-old after pre-season testing. "Not much, we didn't drive that much this year, so there's not much I could talk about," he said.
"Obviously you do your own thing once you're in the car." Having battled manfully through countless media appearances in the leadup to his home grand prix, Ricciardo will face a huge task holding his own against his more senior team mate out on the track. "For now, (I'll) just focus on what I've done for the last few years," he said. "Just keep doing what I've been doing to get to this point and then see how it's feeling.
"Obviously I get a good view behind the scenes with the engineers, and also with how Seb works with his guys and understand a bit more through that but for now it's just do my thing and see where I stand."

Very interesting indeed. Of course they DO have the resources and economy of scale required to support a machine shop and testbed laboratory where they probably try out different vanilla motherboards and customize mounting etc as required. I've also heard that their swap out time on a node crash is pretty extraordinary -- minutes. They have hot and cold running techs with spares read to plug right in. In comparison, I fairly recently toured one of IBM's webserver farms expecting to see neat racks of netfinities or the like. Instead I saw -- heavy duty shelving with custom supertower cases, all lined up just like the original beowulf(s) only not quite so neatly. No rackmounts here. I think that the moral of the story is that when the economy of scale reaches a certain point, it really does start to save real money going with non-racked solutions. Depending on all sorts of opportunity cost issues, of course -- this presupposes a surplus of labor you're paying for anyway so using their spare time to do the additional hand work required by naked nodes or tower nodes (if any in the latter case) while enabling one to save on rack/case expenses is good. Another cost savings is potentially in the power supply itself. IIRC larger supplies are more efficient, so that they reduce energy consumption overall. I'm sure this helps motivate Google's solution as well -- if they have 100K nodes at 100W each, that is 10 megawatts right there (read -- millions of dollars worth of electricity and cooling ALONE per year, depending on their discount). Naked motherboards might cut per-node consumption down to only 60-70 watts. That's likely a million-dollar-plus saving right there. rgb > > hv > > Robert G.

Selecting your first micro controller as a newbie is really difficult as most of us have no idea which offers what , how difficult it'll be to program and other such things .Here is a little guide to help you out and get started with selecting your first uC . Here 8 bit varieties of the uC's are taken and are compared in an broad overview and not sticking to a single uC for the 3 series.
From a newbie's point of view here are a few things that he is usually concerned with
- Availability : The availability is a major issue here in India as most uC are available in metros only . The availability scenario is something like this x51 > PIC > AVR . x51 series has been around for about 20 years and now is available through many vendors and lots of flavors , but generally used are the 2051 , 89s52 and 89s8252 . So go for x51 if you can find any others . PIC is also relatively easy to find and the most often used is the 16f87x[x=3/4/6/7],16F628 and 16f84 . The avr is also easily available but only in metros and other major cities common ones are mega8 , at90s2313 , 8515 , mega16 , mega 128 .
- Cost : uC is not a piece of silicon which you buy every day , decent ones will burn a hole in your pocket . So making the right choice can save you a lot of money. The scenario is something like AVR == PIC > x51 with most series of avr having a pic counterpart with similar price . but if you really want to save money the x51 will come at half the price of the starter chip by any of the other two series . x51 start around Rs 60 for 89c51 ( 4k programmable flash ) . With the AVR and PIC with there at90s2313 and 16f84 starting around Rs 130 and RS 135[16F84/16F628] respectively .
- Programming the uC : The programmability is one of the most important features . If you are not able to build/buy/find a programmer for you uC then the uC is of no use . Here is what i have seen AVR < PIC < x51 so you see the avr series is the easiest to get up and running with the minimum effort , next is pic then x51 . Also remember most avr series support ISP ( In System Programmable ) feature which allows you to program the uC without taking it out of the circuit saving lots of time and helps not breaking you uC legs . PIC has multiple voltages for programming so you can easily end up screwing your computer ports . The 16F87X series, 16F627/28/48 supports ICSP.Programmers available within 500 Rs price range. x51 though high end ones support ISP starters require a big circuit with various voltages ( unless you have a programmer around don't waste time building one ) .
- Price / Features ratio : We can not compare features without price because all series have all the features you want in the various offering ( PWM , multiple UARTS , USB , ISP what not .. ) So we will take which offers what at what price . SO i found it something like this AVR > PIC > x51 . Here also AVR is the winner ATMEGA8 for examples has most of the features one would want with a price of around < Rs 200 . x51 low end series are quite plain in the extra features offered while PIC is a little expensive compared to AVR for same features .The 16F87X series, 16F627/28/48 has hardware PWMs,onboard clock,UART,comparators,multiple ADC,supports ICSP.USB support available on certain PICs.
- Performance : Sometime your application needs to literally be fast and furious and you need speeds in Mips[Million Instructions per second] . In this the choice for you is AVR its a RISC architecture with 16 Mhz uC capable of clocking a cool 16 MIps . So its like AVR > PIC > x51 . x51 is slowest of the three and PIC usally takes 4 cycles for a instruction [hence a 4mhz PIC will run at 1MIPS] . Such power is required in applications where you need lots of speed ( USB , Web servers etc ) .
- Hobby support and circuits : This is how much help and support is available for the various series of the uC . How many people have made there projects online . Its like x51 > pic > avr with x51 being the grand daddy being the most used and lots of projects have been done using it . PIC comes in second due to its wide availability and price/features while avr being relatively new does have a lot of help which is properly organized .
- Open Source Tools available : If you can get a decent compiler or assembler for your uC then youll be wasting time due to the un-optimized development environment . Here is what i think AVR > x51 > PIC . AVR has some very good tools available for free with support for many languages while x51 comes in second ( It has much more tools than avr but they are not free ) and last is PIC .The PIC has C compilers like HITEC C, CCS and BASIC like PIC BASIC Complier,PIC BASIC PRO(picbasic.com)
- Learning curve : The learning curve is how easy is it to learn a uC it goes something like AVR < PIC < x51 with AVR being the easiest to learn and PIC coming in second due to its a little cryptic instruction set . Also if u got a good easy to use programming language like c,basic with inbuilt libraries [rather than assembly],u got a ramp curve] and x51 coming last with its not so easy instruction set and usage . Please remember if you plan to read from books then the amount of written content in India for various uC is the exact opposite with most for x51 and least for avr .
So here is what i recommend
You need lots of features with high performance at decent price : AVR
Availability is not much of an issue [Mumbai and B'lore have dealers for all PICs] and features required [offers ADC, USART, PWM, Comparators] but not high performance [agreed] : PIC
You have a price limit and want to perform limited things : x51
I hope this was helpful in selecting you first uC please post in the forums if you still have doubts .

Best of 2011: Anne-Marie and Adrian!February 8th, 2012
Today, we're back with our Best of 2011 series, where we get to revisit some of our favorite weddings from last season. Today, we're thrilled to share the wedding of Ann-Marie and Adrian!
As Ann-Marie told us-
Where do we begin? We can start by saying 'thank you" from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did to make our wedding day absolutely the best day of our lives. The memories will last a lifetime and trying to describe how we feel just doesn't seem like enough. This was our first and only venue we visited and we fell deeply in love with it. We came back to tour again just to be sure we did not have tunnel vision. We wanted to share several of the comments from our friends and family to help us describe our wedding experience:
"most beautiful wedding ever, first class, a fairytale, just amazing, truly awesome, perfect, beautiful, classy, elegant, exquisite, so very special, the food was delicious, the property just pulled it all in, breathtaking, very romantic, we are still talking about your wedding, our rooms took us back to a simpler time, and one for Martin, he's trying to kill us (we danced all night)"
It was the perfect wedding weekend thanks to all the hard work of Mary-Catherine, Whitney, Mona, Michael, Paula and Martin. From start to finish of our wedding day was just amazing. I am honored to say, "I'm a Historic Mankin Bride!"
Now remember-this year's blog series is going to be a bit different as each wedding will be featured on the Historic Mankin Mansion Blog and the top three posts with the most blog and Facebook comments will be selected as finalists. Each wedding will receive one more feature and the one with the most Facebook and blog comments by the deadline will be the winner! This year, we're taking it up a notch as we will be hosting a contest along with it for a complimentary overnight room stay at the Mansion, as well as a gift certificate to one of Paula and Martin's favorite restaurants in town.
So do you just adore Ann-Marie and Adrian's wedding and want them to win? Simply comment on this blog post and let us know why you love this wedding so much. If you'd like to score an extra point for the couple, visit our Facebook page and comment under the Facebook post in which we share this fabulous feature.
Thanks Anne-Marie and Adrian for revisiting your Historic Mankin Mansion Wedding Day with us!
See You Soon,
Paula & Martin Ramirez
Paula and Martin Ramirez are the proprietors of Historic Mankin Mansion, a wedding resort and bed and breakfast just minutes from Downtown Richmond. They enjoy new restaurant finds, Virginia wines and discovering fun events and activities throughout the area for their guests.

As the shock resignation of Pope Benedict XVI made news around the world, financial investors have their eyes on another leadership transition set to occur over in Tokyo.
There, the Bank of Japan is due to get a new governor shortly, and chatter is rising over who will replace the central bank's current chief, Masaaki Shirakawa.
Shirakawa announced last week that he would step down a few weeks early in order to leave at the same time as the bank's two deputy governors. All three will now leave the central bank in March.
Shirakawa's explanation for his early departure "is entirely plausible," Capital Economics economist Julian Jessop said, although he "could perhaps be forgiven for wanting to leave as soon as possible, given the criticism he has received for 'not doing enough' to end deflation."
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was voted back to power in December, has vowed to tackle the country's endemic price deflation and bring Japan back to economic health. Specifically, Abe has put pressure on the Bank of Japan to introduce yet more monetary-easing policies to push prices higher, and he would likely expect a new governor to play a key role in that process.
Names put forward by the news media as potential Bank of Japan governors include Kazumasa Iwata, Toshiro Muto and Haruhiko Kuroda.
Iwata and Muto were deputy governors at the central bank from 2003 to 2008. Iwata is now president of the Japan Center for Economic Research, while Muto is chairman of the Daiwa Insitute of Research. Former finance ministry official Kuroda, meanwhile, is president of the Asian Development Bank.
"Kazumasa Iwata is perhaps the most dovish candidate, but both Haruhiko Kuroda and Toshiro Muto are credible alternatives," said Jessop. "Iwata would probably give more weight to yen weakness as part of the means to boost inflation and has advocated the purchase of foreign bonds if necessary," he said.
To date, there haven't been any official nominations to the post.
The new prime minister will likely want financial markets to approve of his choice, as his popularity has soared lately along with the stock market. A poll out earlier this week from the Yomiuri Shimbun showed that support for Abe's cabinet has reached 71%, up from 68% in a January survey.
Since late last year, Japanese financial markets have experienced some extraordinary gains, with stocks soaring to near pre-financial-crisis levels and the yen dropping back to a lows last seen in mid-2010 amid expectations for aggressive policy easing.
Last month, the Bank of Japan said that it would introduce a formal 2% inflation target and open-ended asset buying. Still, economists aren't expecting any radical news, either on policy or the leadership front, when the bank holds its monthly policy meeting Thursday, as board members will likely wait for the leadership transition to take place.

CARSON, Calif. (Friday, May 30, 2014) – The LA Galaxy announced today the club has named Mike Muñoz as the LA Galaxy Academy Under-14 head coach. Muñoz, 30, is a former LA Galaxy midfielder and current LA Galaxy Academy Under-16 head coach. Muñoz will retain his position as the U-16's head coach in addition to his new duties as head coach of the U-14's.
"This was a very simple decision based on the impact Mike has had on our U-14 Academy team in just a few short months," said LA Galaxy Academy Director Pete Vagenas. "He is one of the most highly regarded youth coaches in America and his experience in both the U.S. Soccer Development Academy and youth national team program will be maximized at the LA Galaxy Academy U-14 level."
Muñoz took charge of the LA Galaxy Academy Under-14 squad after former Galaxy Academy U-14 head coach Greg Vanney left the club to become the new Assistant General Manager and Academy Director at Toronto FC.
Muñoz has been a coach in the Development Academy since retiring from the game in 2009. He was named head coach of the Galaxy U-16's on July, 2013, leading the squad to a 17-3-6 record and helping them qualify to the 2013-14 USSDA Academy Playoffs. Muñoz began his coaching career in the 2009-10 season when he served as an assistant coach with the Galaxy U-16's. His first chance to be a head coach came the following season, when he was named head coach of the Real Salt Lake-Arizona U-16's ahead of the start of the 2010-11 campaign. That season, Muñoz was named the Development Academy U-16 Coach of the Year after guiding RSL-Arizona to a 16-8-4 overall record and a win in the Development Academy Finals Third Place match.
Along with his USSDA Academy experience, Muñoz has also served as an assistant coach with USA U-14 and U-15 national team programs.
"This is a great opportunity to establish the LA Galaxy culture and identity, style of play and what it means to play for the Galaxy in our younger players," said Muñoz. "While every age group is equally important in terms of player and team development, this age group is arguably the most important age in terms of their soccer education. The LA Galaxy feel that these younger players are really the future of our club and providing them a fantastic education in all the principles of the game at this age is vital for their success and the success of our club."
The LA Galaxy Academy has been a part of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy since its inception in 2007. The Galaxy Academy program has produced seven Homegrown Players, including six in the last three years, forwards Jack McBean and Jose Villarreal in 2011, defender Oscar Sorto and forward Gyasi Zardes in 2012, and forwards Bradford Jamieson IV and Raul Mendiola in 2014. Tristan Bowen, who currently plays for Seattle Sounders FC, became the first player in MLS history to be signed directly from the club's Academy as a Homegrown Player in 2008.
LA GALAXY ACADEMY TEAMS HOST STRIKERS FC ON SATURDAY: The LA Galaxy Academy Under-18, Under-16, and Under-14 return to U.S. Soccer Development Academy action when they host Strikers FC at StubHub Center's Field 5 on Saturday, May 31 in what will be the LA Galaxy U-18's and U-16's last game in the USSDA regular season. Both the Galaxy U-18's and U-16's qualified for the 2013-2014 Academy Playoffs after receiving an automatic bid to the 2013-14 Postseason.
The Galaxy Academy U-18's (18-5-3, 57 points) will kick off this weekend's action when they host Strikers FC U-18's (5-19-2, 17 points) on Saturday, May 31 at 10:00 a.m. PT. The Galaxy U-18's are coming off a convincing 5-0 victory against the Arsenal FC U-18's as Adonis Amaya tallied a hat trick while Mark Hernandez and Hugo Gutierrez rounded out the scoring. The Galaxy U-18's blanked the Strikers FC last October on the road 3-0 at the University of California-Irvine Stadium Field. Amaya opened the scoring for the Galaxy U-18's in the 65th minute and eight minutes later Christian Chavez doubled the team's lead. It then took all of two minutes for Amaya to tack on the third and final score.
The action continues at 12:30 p.m. PT, as the Galaxy Academy U-16's (17-3-6, 57 points) host the Strikers FC U-16's (13-16-7, 46 points) at StubHub Center's Field 5. The Galaxy U-16's dropped a 1-0 result to Arsenal FC in their most recent USSDA match. In the last meeting between the Galaxy and Strikers FC U-16 side last October, the team traveled to the University of California-Irvine Stadium Field and had to come from behind to deal Strikers FC a 2-1 defeat. After the hosts jumped out to an early lead in 18th minute, Jorge Ruiz netted his fourth goal of the season in the 27th minute to level the score at 1-1. Just when the game seemed destined for a draw, in the closing moments of the game, Jonathan Ramirez beat Strikers FC goalkeeper Jonathan Lee Klinsmann in the 87th minute to grant the Galaxy U-16's their second win of the season.
Saturday's tripleheader action will wrap up when the Galaxy Academy U-14's take on the Strikers FC U-14's at 3:00 p.m. In their last encounter, forward Hanif Wright scored three goals as the LA Galaxy U-14's beat the Strikers FC Under-14's 5-1 on the road at Anteater Stadium on the campus of UC Irvine. Wright, 14, scored the games' first two goals in the 10th and 12th minutes. Fellow forward Noa Harrison made it 3-0 in the 20th minute with his fourth goal of the season before Strikers pulled one back in the 31st minute. In the second half, Wright got his hat trick in the 48th minute and re-gave the Galaxy a three goal lead. Just before the game ended, an own goal by the Strikers made it 5-1. The Galaxy U-14's still have four games left to play in USSDA regular season action and will play their next game on June 7 against Central California Aztecs U-14's at StubHub Center's Field at 10:00 a.m.

Peach Bhel - AFAM peach
I wanted to participate in the AFAM-Peach event hosted by Mansi of fun and food. But since I was out of time I decided to try a twist to the traditional bhel. I skipped both onions and tomatoes and added peach, mango and pomegrante seeds instead. The bhel tasted perfect with the right amount of spice, salt, sourness and crunch.
Peaches (cubed) - 1/2 cup
Mango (raw) (cut into small pieces) - 2 tbsp
Pomegranate seeds - a handful
Mamra (puffed rice) - 1 cup
Sev - 2 tsp
Mint chutney - as needed
Sweet chutney -as needed
Chilli sauce - as needed
Salt - a pinch
Cilantro leaves - for garnishing
Mix all the ingredients well and give the bowl a good shake. Serve immediately.

The University of Maryland Medical System said Wednesday that it expects to complete its acquisition of St. Joseph Medical Center on Dec. 1, nearly a year after the Towson hospital sought a buyer as it looked to recover from the fallout of one of its doctors performing unnecessary cardiac procedures.
The new entity, to be called The University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center, will take over operations of the 2,000-employee hospital pending final federal regulatory approval. The two entities first announced merger plans in March.
The merger could represent a new start for St. Joseph, which suffered revenue, patient and staff losses after its star cardiologist, Dr. Mark Midei, was accused of placing stents in the arteries of hundreds of patients who may not have needed them.
Former state Sen. Francis X. Kelly, a UMMS board member who will chair the board of the new entity, said being under the UMMS umbrella will give the hospital a sense of stability. He said UMMS plans to reinvigorate the cardiac program that nearly brought the hospital down.
"I am convinced we'll take that hospital and build on its strengths and fill the holes that are there and take it to the next level," said Kelly, who worked on negotiations with St. Joseph and had 10 grandchildren delivered at the hospital. "I think the potential for St. Joseph is unlimited."
St. Joseph's current chairman, Edward Gilliss, will become vice chairman of the new board. UMMS expects to announce the CEO of the new entity Thursday.
The Midei case led to turmoil at St. Joseph, which faced millions of dollars in lawsuits, a federal investigation, revenue declines and a drain of doctors and patients. Kelly said the hospital is losing $3 million a month and it may take some time to improve its finances.
Midei has denied any wrongdoing, saying that he did nothing inappropriate and that doctors across the country have recommended stents in similar circumstances. He said St. Joseph and its owner, Denver-based Catholic Health Initiatives, used him as a scapegoat as the hospital faced scrutiny from federal authorities.
Employees began receiving information Thursday about their employment status at the new organization. Some workers will remain employed at St. Joseph, while others will become employees of UMMS.
UMMS won the bidding competition over two other finalists, LifeBridge Health, which owns Sinai and Northwest hospitals, and Ascension Health, which owns Saint Agnes Hospital in Baltimore.
St. Joseph will join a system that has been expanding rapidly over the past decade, using its reputation and strong finances to lure smaller community hospitals.
The aggressive expansion has enabled UMMS to double in size to 12 hospitals in the past six years, expanding its reach to almost every corner of the state.
Robert A. Chrencik, president and CEO of UMMS, told The Baltimore Sun in December when the hospital system was bidding for St. Joseph that the Towson facility's financial situation was troubling but that his system had the "medical horsepower" to turn it around.
He said it would allow the University of Maryland to move into a part of the state where it doesn't have a presence. Many Maryland graduates practice at St. Joseph, and Chrencik said Maryland's strong cardiovascular, orthopedic and cancer practices would fill voids at St. Joseph.

Department of English
Monday, February 25 at 4:30 p.m. in the Sophie Kerr Room
When Huston Diehl began teaching a fourth-grade class in a �Negro� elementary school in rural Virginia, the school system�s white superintendent assured her that he didn't expect her to teach �those children� anything. It was the waning days of the Jim Crow South, and Diehl soon discovered how low expectations impeded her students� ability to learn. With its overcrowded classrooms and poor facilities, her segregated school was vastly inferior to the county�s white elementary schools, and the message it sent her students was clear: �Dream not of other worlds.�
In her memoir Diehl reveals how her students reached out to her, a young white Northerner, and shared their fears, anxieties and personal beliefs. She reflects on what the students taught her about the hurt of bigotry and the humiliation of poverty as well as dignity, courage and resiliency.
Today, Diehl is professor of English at the University of Iowa and a widely published authority in the field of Renaissance literature. Her memoir, Dream Not of Other Worlds: Teaching in a Segregated School, 1970, chronicles an important moment in American history and the struggle to integrate schools in the South. The presentation at Washington College will be a reading from her memoir. Professor Diehl will be joined in the reading by Polly Sommerfeld, Lecturer in Drama at Washington College.
Professor Sommerfeld recently co-directed [sic] with Professor Jason Rubin in Fall 2007.
Listen to Diehl's struggle to prove to her students that she doesn't favor the one white child.
Listen to Diehl talk about her purple skin tone and shades of brown through a child's eyes.
Listen to NPR's interview with Diehl and check out an excerpt from her book.

The Lay of The Land
Brick walls can come at you from all directions. They often sit there and smile while you get more and more discouraged wondering if you will ever get around them. Over the years, I have found that getting a "lay of the land" will often help one understand many of the dimensions of these brick walls. Knowing the historical and geographical factors that interplay with your tree climbing will frequently assist to "wipe that smile off their face"!
The drawing to the right is an example of such an attempt. My brick wall was in the geographic area of North Wales. A bunch of JONES were hidden in these mountains. How was I to sort them? I decided to try and understand the lay of the land. [called topography]
Since the earliest days, water [after oxygen] was the most important resource for survival. Streams, creeks, and rivers were the lifeline and highway to much of the human settlements. How these creeks and streams flowed determined much in the way of survival. Today, it is difficult to find maps that will show just the rivers. [especially in genealogy] Draw your own, I thought!
The most important item is a good starting map. Finding one that has the origin of your family tree is necessary. For me this was Touring Guide To Britain, published by The Reader's Digest Association, NY, 1992. Tracing paper was the next most important item. Removing all names, cites, locations, etc., etc., by just tracing the rivers, streams, and those items which might be of importance. [For me it was the iron age hill forts!] You then make a hard copy of the finished product so that you can write upon the finished product.
The tracing above shows the two main "head waters" of my family tree. The Dee and the Severn are shown, the Dee in blue. It is here that they almost touch giving a geographic location where one can reach both within 5 miles! Here, my JONES family had its roots many generations back. A strategic starting point it is. Dip in the Dee and you come out at Chester. (North) Dip in the Severn and you come out Gloucester. (South) It certainly would be a good location to start your day.

What a great idea! I never would have thought of it. This just might help me "erode" a brick wall or two of my own.ReplyDelete

The Mouse and the Camel - Rumi
This is my first post for the Summer Poetry Challenge, hosted by Bookeywookey. I read poetry very rarely, and don't profess to any great insights on the poetry I have selected. This challenge did appeal to me as a possible kick-start to reintroduce poetry into my life, a genre that is neglected by many.
My choice of poems prior to the 1900's is 'The Mouse and the Camel' by Rumi, originally found in Rumi's most well known work, Masnavi.
About Rumi: Rumi, was born on September 30, 1207 as Jelaluddin Balkhi in Balkh, Afghanistan, which was then part of the Persian empire. Between 1215 and 1220, he and his family fled the threat of invading Mongols and emigrated to Konya Turkey; it was sometime after this that he became known as Rumi (meaning from Roman Anatolia). His father was a theologian and mystic, and after his death Rumi took over the role of sheikh in Konya's dervish community. After meeting a wandering dervish, Shams of Tabriz, Rumi became enveloped in a world of mystical conversation. Sham became one of the most profound influences in Rumi's life. Near the end of his life, Rumi focused on his greatest achievement, Masnavi. After twelve years of work on this masterpiece, Rumi died in 1273.
The Mouse and the Camel begins in a style that reminds me of Aesop's fables.
There is the boastful animal, the mouse, who is taught a lesson by another animal, the camel. In essence, the mouse bit off more than it could chew, confusing luck or coincidence--catching the camel's harness--with achievement. The camel reminds the mouse that imitating those more powerful than you can lead to great problems down the road. It strikes me as a warning against spiritual pride that still resonates today.
A mouse caught hold of a camel's lead rope
in his two forelegs and walked off with it,
imitating the camel drivers.
The camel went along,
letting the mouse feel heroic.
"Enjoy yourself,"
he thought. "I have something to teach you, presently."
The came to the edge of a great river.
The mouse was dumbfounded.
"What are you waiting for?
Step forward into the river. You are my leader.
Don't stop here."
"I'm afraid of being drowned."
The camel walked into the water. "It's only
just above the knee."
"Your knee! Your knee
is a hundred times over my head!"
Well, maybe you shouldn't
be leading a camel. Stay with those like yourself.
A mouse has nothing really to say to a camel."
"Would you help me get across?"
"Get up on my hump. I am made to take hundreds like you across."
You are not a prophet, but go humbly on the way of the prophets,
and you can arrive where they are. Don't try to steer the boat.
Don't open a shop by yourself. Listen. Keep silent.
You are not God's mouthpiece. Try to be an ear,
and if you do speak, ask for explanations.
The source of your arrogance and anger is your lustIn these stanzas Rumi continues with the moral of the story. I feel in these lines he is speaking directly to those who are spiritual leaders, the sheikhs and imams of his time. He reminds the reader that many spiritual leaders become so entrenched in their habit of authority, that they become deaf to sound advice, responding with jealousy, anger, and pride. I really love the last two lines, 'become a school, with a greater sheikh nearby.' I took that to mean that one should share your knowledge, but do not boast, and always continue to seek the wisdom of others with an open mind.
and the rootedness of that is in your habits.
Someone who makes a habit of eating clay
gets mad when you try to keep him from it.
Being a leader can also be a poisonous habit,
so that when someone questions your authority,
you think, "He's trying to take over."
You may respond courteously, but inside you rage.
Always check your inner state
with the lord of your heart.
Copper doesn't know it's copper,
until it's changed to gold.
Your loving doesn't know its majesty,
until it knows its helplessness.
These gifts from the Friend, a robe
of skin and veins, a teacher within,
wear them and become a school,
with a greater sheikh nearby.
There is one stanza I continue to go back to, with the feeling that I should know what Rumi is saying, yet I don't. 'Always check your inner state with the lord of your heart. Copper doesn't know it's copper, until it's changed to gold.' What do you think this means?
