Long-Term Vitamin E Supplementation Associated with Reduced COPD Risk
A presentation at the American Thoracic Association 2010 International Conference revealed the discovery by researchers at Cornell University and Brigham and Women's Hospital of a lower risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in women who supplemented with vitamin E.*
The team analyzed data from 38,270 health professionals who participated in the Women's Health Study, which evaluated the effects of every other day regimens of aspirin or vitamin E in cancer and heart disease prevention over a 10-year period. The researchers uncovered a 10% reduction in COPD risk in both smokers and nonsmokers who consumed 600 international units (IU) vitamin E every other day compared to those who received a placebo.
"If results of this study are borne out by further research, clinicians may recommend that women take vitamin E supplements to prevent COPD," predicted Anne Hermetet Agler, who participated in the research.
Editor's note: The antioxidant benefit of vitamin E may be responsible for the protective effect observed in this study.

Abnormal Kidney Markers Associated with Increased Mortality Risk Over 8-Year Average
A meta-analysis conducted by the Chronic Kidney Disease Prognosis Consortium concluded that elevations in urinary albumin and blood albumin to creatinine ratio, which indicate kidney damage, as well as a reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate of the kidneys predict an increased risk of death from all causes over 2.1 to 11.6 years of follow-up.*
The Consortium selected 21 studies including a total of 1,234,182 participants for their analysis. Over the follow-up periods, 45,584 deaths occurred.
When the rate at which the glomeruli of the kidneys filter the blood dropped below a specific level, a greater risk of dying over follow-up occurred. Additionally, an increase in albumin and a greater ratio of urinary albumin to creatinine were associated with increased all-cause mortality risk. "This study provides quantitative data for use of both kidney measures for risk assessment and definition and staging of chronic kidney disease," the authors conclude.
Editor's note: Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P), CoQ10, silymarin, resveratrol, and lipoic acid are clinically supported interventions for kidney disease.

Swimming May Be Best Exercise for Lifelong Health
A recent article by Judy Foreman in the Boston Globe examines a report by Steven Blair, a leading exercise scientist from the University of South Carolina, that featured data pointing to the fact that people who swim for exercise may live longer than those who run, walk, or don't exercise at all.*
The study, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Swimming Pool Foundation, followed 40,547 men ages 20-90 who completed health exams between 1971 and 2003. Over the course of the research, 1,336 of the 20,356 runners (or 6.6%) had died, while only 11 of the 562 swimmers (1.9%) died. While no specifics could be drawn from the study, the researchers pointed out that swimming may be more beneficial from running because of the full-body nature of the workout, as well as the lack of pounding and wear and tear on the body that many runners suffer.
In a phone interview with the Boston Globe, Blair, while remaining cautious, said that the study does show that "swimmers have lower death rates" than sedentary people.

Insufficient Calcium May Link Hypertension, Osteoporosis
The Annual Congress of the European League Against Rheumatism was the site of a presentation of the findings of Professor Maria Manarathe of the Gaetano Pini Institute in Milan and her associates of an increased risk of high blood pressure and osteoporosis among women with a reduced intake of calcium.*
The study included 825 postmenopausal women with hypertension matched with 3 healthy postmenopausal women. The researchers found that 35.4% of women whose calcium intake was among the lowest one-fourth of participants at less than 8 servings per week had both high blood pressure and osteoporosis, compared to 19.3% of those whose calcium was among the highest fourth at greater than 15 servings.
"Our study confirms that there may be a link between hypertension and low bone mass and that a low calcium intake could be a risk factor for the development of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women," Dr. Manara stated.
Editor's note: The authors write that "The main pathogenetic hypothesis for the association between hypertension and osteoporosis points to increased parathyroid levels depending on the urinary calcium leakage reported in subjects with hypertension."

Short Periods of Exercise Protect Telomeres from Stress
Findings published in PLoS ONE demonstrate a protective effect for brief periods of exercise against stress-induced damage to telomeres: pieces of DNA that cap and protect the ends of chromosomes which play an important role in cellular aging.*
Elissa Epel, PhD and her associates evaluated the effect of exercise in 63 women with varying levels of stress during the prior month as assessed via the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale. The women were divided into an active group, who engaged in vigorous exercise for an average of at least 33 minutes daily, and a sedentary group.
Among inactive women, a one-unit increase in the Perceived Stress Scale was related to a 15-fold greater risk of having short white blood cell telomeres, while stress did not appear to affect the active group. "Even a moderate amount of vigorous exercise appears to provide a critical amount of protection for the telomeres," stated Dr. Epel.
Editor's note: Longer telomeres have also been associated with multivitamin supplementation and higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids.

Green Tea Compound Shows Promise in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
At the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology held in Chicago, researchers from the Mayo Clinic reported results from a Phase II trial which provide additional evidence of clinical activity and low toxicity for epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG, extracted from green tea) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients.*
Hematologist Tait Shanafelt, MD and colleagues gave 2,000 milligrams EGCG to patients with early stage, asymptomatic CLL. The extract was administered twice per day for up to 6 months. Among subjects who completed 6 months of EGCG, 31% experienced a 20% or greater reduction in blood leukemia count, and 69% of those with lymph node enlargement had their node size reduced by at least half.
"All in all, the treatment was well tolerated with very mild side effects in most patients," Dr. Shanafelt commented.
Editor's note: Coauthor Neil Kay, MD recommends that "Those who want to take supplements should consult with their oncologists and need to receive appropriate monitoring using laboratory tests."

Increased Intake of Vitamins B6 and B12 Linked to Less Depression
A report published online recently in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveals a lower risk of developing depression among men and women who consume greater amounts of vitamin B6 and vitamin B12.*
Researchers at Rush University Medical Center evaluated data from 3,503 participants in the Chicago Health and Aging project, an ongoing study of adults aged 65 and older. Four hundred seventy-one participants reported at least 4 depressive symptoms over up to 12 years of follow-up. Adjusted analysis of the data revealed that higher intakes of both vitamin B6 and B12 from food and supplements were associated with decreased depressive symptoms over the course of follow-up.
"Our results support the hypotheses that high total intakes of vitamins B6 and B12 are protective of depressive symptoms over time in community-residing older adults," Kimberly A. Skarupski and colleagues conclude.
Editor's note: The authors note that vitamin B12 from food sources has poor bioavailability and absorption, especially in older individuals.

Zinc May Be an Atheroprotective Agent
In a study published recently in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition from the Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, scientists set out to test zinc's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties against atherosclerosis.*
Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are common risk factors for atherosclerosis and the scientists hypothesized that zinc, which is an essential micronutrient, may down-regulate the production of atherosclerosis-related cytokines/molecules in humans. To test this hypothesis, the researchers at Wayne State University conducted a randomized, double-blinded, placebo trial of zinc supplementation in elderly subjects.
There were 40 people involved in the study who were randomly assigned either an oral dose of 45 mg zinc gluconate per day for 6 months, or a placebo. After 6 months of supplementation, the intake of zinc, compared with the intake of placebo, increased concentrations of plasma zinc and decreased concentrations of plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, proving its potential as an atheroprotective agent.
Editor's note: The effective dose of oral zinc used in this research was 40 mg per day. People who consume Life Extension's One Per day (or Two Per Day) multi and Super Booster are also receiving 40 mg per day of zinc. The degree of inflammation is directly related to the progression of inflammation.

Sanrio Says Hello Kitty Is 'Personification of a Cat'
The assertion that Hello Kitty is not a cat spread through the online community quickly over the past 24 hours, with most major news organizations, including The Wall Street Journal, posting stories on the subject.
But Tokyo-based Sanrio, creator of the popular character, told Japan Real Time that some details were lost in translation as the story went viral.
Here are excerpts of our conversation with a Sanrio spokesman, Kazuo Tohmatsu.
WSJ: What is Hello Kitty?
Mr. Tohmatsu: It is a character, a 100% personification done in the motif of a cat. This is nothing new. We've always had this setting since Hello Kitty made its debut 40 years ago.
WSJ: So it is not a cat, correct?
Mr. Tohmatsu: We have a character called Kero Kero Keroppi as well, and that character is a frog, because it has elements of frogs in what he does. But Hello Kitty doesn't [have elements of a cat]. It is more of an anthropomorphism.
WSJ: So it's correct to say she is not a cat?
Mr. Tohmatsu: It is difficult to answer that question, but our answer is that Hello Kitty is a personification of a cat--a character.
WSJ: Does that mean it's a human girl?
Mr. Tohmatsu: Well. It's difficult to provide a specific classification of what she is, or say something definitely, since everything is set in a world of characters.
Sanrio explains on its Japanese-language website that Hello Kitty is "a gentle girl" who enjoys baking cookies and playing the piano. She even owns a pet cat named Charmmy Kitty.
The spokesman added that the company's public relations department has been flooded with inquiries regarding Hello Kitty's true identity in the past day.

Sharon Osbourne has never been one to censor her opinions, so why would she start now?!
The outspoken host of "The Talk" got quite candid while sharing her opinions on Hollywood's elite — including Justin Bieber and Kanye West — in a new interview with The Daily Beast.
"I have no time for [Kanye]. He bores me," Osbourne said, referring to Kim Kardashian's baby daddy. "I said it on the show, he's an average-looking man with an average talent, but he's a great salesman. He should sell cars because they would f–kin' fly out the door. He's his No. 1 fan."
Osbourne also had a few thoughts on Justin Bieber, whom last fall she declared "won't stand the test of time."
"I feel really bad for him. There's this little kid with a huge dream, he's cute, girls love him, and he wants to be a mean boy, and he's about as mean as a f–kin' kitten, and he's trying to act out," noted Osbourne. "It's like pissing in a bucket. It's like, 'Oh, we're the bad boys!' F**k off! You don't know what bad is.
"And I think that he's lost, I really do," she continued while discussing Selena Gomez's on-again, off-again beau. "I think he doesn't realize he's white and not black, that's a huge problem. And, at the point he's at in his career, it's so dangerous because we've seen it all before a million times. Where do you go when you're a child entertainer and then you want to transition to be a man? Very few make it."
While she is brutally honest, Sharon also likes to gives credit when credit is due! She called Taylor Swift "brilliant" and Justin Timberlake the "best all-arounder."
Still, Kanye and Justin shouldn't feel too bad about Sharon's remarks (although we doubt they care), because they are in good company!
Here are a few other celebrities that Osbourne has had some choice words for over the years …
Lady Gaga: "You say [Kelly's] work on E! with the Fashion Police is 'rooted in criticism, judgment, and rating people's beauty against one another.' Welcome to the real world," Osbourne posted in an open letter to Lady Gaga on her Facebook page. "Example, when I saw you wear a dress made out of raw meat, I was sickened. When I see you wearing fur, and using it as a fashion statement, the fact that defenseless animals have been killed so you can get your picture in the press is abhorrent to me. Shouldn't you be teaching your 'little monster' fans to respect animals and life?"
Madonna: Sharon has dissed the "Material Girl" for years. In 2005, she told British GQ she'd "like to punch" Madonna. "She is so full of [bleep]. She's into Kabbalah one minute, she's a Catholic the next. She'll be a Hindu soon, no doubt." A few months later, Sharon also called Madonna adopting son David a "crock of s–t," adding, "If she wants to help the kid she should have got the father a little trade going, a fruit stand or something like that and built him a mud hut. She should have left him in his own culture, that is what I say."
Dannii Minogue: Sharon has not tried to hide her disdain for her former fellow "X Factor" co-star. "She [Dannii] knows she's [on the show] because of her looks, not because of her contribution to the music industry," Osbourne said on BBC TV's "The Graham Norton Show" in 2007. During her interview with the Daily Beast, Osbourne also admitted Dannii is the reason she quit the show, but now refers to Minogue as "insignificant."
Simon Cowell: While addressing reports in April 2012 that she left U.K.'s edition of "The X Factor" because she was angry over Cowell's relationship with fellow judge Dannii Minogue, Osbourne revealed: "I'm, like, pissed off because you've got a whole career to talk about. … Why bring Mrs. O into your messing around?" She also claimed Simon "likes to glamorize, he likes the publicity, he likes the attention." Before concluding with her thoughts on the matter, Sharon also theorized Cowell is the way he is because he lacks, um, "goods" down there: "He's wealthy, he's powerful, he's creative, he's got everything … but you can't buy the goods."

Millennials looking for a 'revolution' at Davos
Millennials are playing a larger role at Davos this year, not only attending sessions as university-based guests, but actively participating.
One was Zach Sims, a 23-year-old entrepreneur who dropped out of Columbia University to co-found a company called Codecademy, which offers online courses for people who want or need to learn to start coding in their work.
Sitting on a panel I moderated on whether higher education these days is worth the cost, Sims argued that the entire university structure needs to be shaken to the core to allow for new technologies and new skills.
The panel also had several experts in the field, including Angel Gurria, Secretary-General for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It debated the future of the university system in the U.S. and abroad, with particular focus on the rise of online courses.
While the panel was optimistic that change will come to higher education, both in cost and structure, the audience of about 250 people was a bit more impatient. Many of the questions came from European students in law school or some form of higher education. One from a Yale student attending the conference as a reporter.
At the end, I mentioned that most technological change involves massive disruption. Bubbles, like the trillion-dollar student loan bubble in the U.S., tend to burst, not slowly deflate. I asked the audience whether it expected gradual evolution in the next decade in education or revolutionary, wrenching change. Like all millennials, they favored revolution.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – No. 21 Georgia College Softball (34-12, 16-4 PBC) faced off against Augusta State University Friday evening, with the Bobcat offense in full force as they earned a sweep for Senior Day at the Peeler Complex.
The wins give GC Softball an eight-game winning streak and victories in 16 of their last 17.
The Bobcats jumped to a lead with Kristen Brooks (Brunswick, Ga.) doubling to bring in Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) and then a Taylor Campbell (Warner Robbins, Ga.) single plating Brooks.
The Jaguars put two runs on the board in the second inning and another four in the third.
The Bobcat offense exploded for five runs in the bottom of the fourth, capped by a Dani Gallucci (Orlando, Fla.) single to bring in Campbell and Kristen Humphries (Columbus, Ga.).
After the Jaguars scored two in the top of the fifth inning to take the lead again, the Bobcats tied the game with a Campbell single bringing in Brooks.
Pitchers for both teams put up four innings of scoreless softball. The Bobcats broke the stalemate in the bottom of the 10th as Gallucci led off the inning with a single and came around to score on an Okvist double over the head of the rightfielder.
Abi LeRoy (Dublin, Ga.) earned the win (5-3) after 5 2/3 innings of relief. LeRoy held the Jaguars to only two hits and three walks.
The bats for both teams remained hot in the second game, as the Jaguars pushed three runs across the plate in the first inning and the Bobcats answered with four of their own. The inning was highlighted by a Campbell double that scored Brooks and LeRoy.
The Bobcats added to their lead with another four runs in the third inning. The Bobcats had already scored one run and loaded the bases when LeRoy ripped a double off the fence in right-center field to drive in three.
Gallucci earned her 13th win of the season (13-4), going 5 2/3 innings in relief. She struck out five and walked three while only allowing three hits.
The Bobcats will finish the regular season Tuesday, April 16 at 2 p.m. when they travel to No. 3 Armstrong.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

About deVita - Tastes of Napoli
Pizza with a twist Italians always insist the best food comes from wherever they grew up – but they also generally agree that the cuisine of Naples is rather spectacular. The birthplace of pizza is serious about food, and chef Vincenzo De Vita shares this passion. He's a native Neapolitan who has brought experience and knowledge from his home region (with a twist of his own style) to De Vita – Tastes of Napoli in Sydney's Manly. De Vita's menu is vast, so you might want to pick a tasty little starter (such as the adorable little fried balls of dough called 'scugnizzi') to snack on while you peruse the menu. While there are some excellent main courses to choose from (like homemade ravioli and linguine with fresh seafood), the food of Naples is really all about pizza. To acknowledge this, the menu at De Vita has no less than three pizza menus. The first contains some of the classics, such as the capricciosa, next to some less traditional options like the lasagna pizza. The second menu offers some wonderfully indulgent fried pizza; and the third is devoted to special pizzas such as the 'Toto', which comes with a ricotta-stuffed edge. If you want to really delight your fellow diners, order the star-shaped Stella pizza, which comes with a different flavor in each point. Best dish: the stella pizza

Topic: Skills needed for cooperative learningTopic Posted by: Bon Tsi ([email protected] )
Organization: ch
Date Posted: Mon May 22 14:40:27 2006
Topic Description: Forming Skills: The basic skills needed for a functioning cooperative learning group. Functioning Skills: The skills needed to manage the group¡¯s activities to complete a task and to maintain effective working relationships among members. Formulating Skills: The skills needed to understand the material being studied at a deeper level, to stimulate the use of higher quality reasoning strategies, and to maximize mastery and retention. Fermenting Skills: The skills needed to rethink the material being studied , cognitive conflict, search for more information, and communicate the rationale behind one¡¯s conclusions. Forming skills help organize the group and establish minimum norms for appropriate behaviors. The most important behaviors of this category are: noise monitor, participation monitor, voice monitor, and turn-taking monitor. The noise monitor ensures that classmates move into cooperative learning quietly. The participation monitor ensures that group members stay in the group and participate in the group¡¯s work. Voice monitor is needed to remind group members to use quiet voices. The turn-taking monitor ensures that each student has a part in the group effort and assignment. Functioning skills help the group manage their efforts and maintain working relationships. To accomplish these skills, students need to share ideas and opinions, ask for facts and reasoning which will ease their interaction and thus their understanding of each other¡¯s work, give direction to the group work to help the group move ahead (¡°We are supposed to¡¡± or ¡°Why don¡¯t we try this in the time we have left?¡±), encourage everyone to participate (¡°Michelle, what is your opinion about this?¡±), ask for help or clarification (¡°I don¡¯t think I understand. Can you explain again what you mean?¡±), express support and acceptance, offer to explain and clarify (¡°Would you like me to explain this again?¡±), paraphrase (¡°So you are saying that¡¡±), and energize the group (¡°Come on, let¡¯s get things moving!¡±). Formulating skills maximize students¡¯ learning. They stimulate the use of higher reasoning strategies and enhance mastery and retention. Some of these skills are: summarize out loud from memory, seek accuracy by correcting a member¡¯s summary (¡°I am not sure this is correct.. We should check¡¡±), seek elaboration by relating the material being learned to earlier learned material and to previous knowledge (¡°How does this relate to¡¡±), help the group remember (¡°We should use colors for this table¡¡±), check for understanding by demanding verbalization, and ask the others to plan out loud (¡°Here is how I would teach this material¡¡±). Fermenting skills are those involved in academic controversies such as: criticizing ideas without criticizing people (¡°I respect you, but in this case I have to disagree with your thinking.¡±), differentiating between ideas and reasoning of group members (¡°How do our information and conclusions differ?¡±), integrating ideas into single positions (¡°Would this combine everyone¡¯s ideas into a single conclusion?¡±), asking for justification (¡°Can you explain your answer?¡±), extending answers (¡°I have something else I know about this and I want to share with you¡¡±), probing by asking in-depth questions (¡°Would it work in a different situations?¡±), and generating further answers (¡°Can we consider another possibility?¡±).

I'm Psychic
Last week at work I went to the restroom and the instant I walked in the door I just KNEW there was a spider in there. After exiting the stall, I came face to face with a huge black spider on the wall.....

Sen. Harry Reid Hospitalized After Car Accident
(LAS VEGAS) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., was hospitalized briefly Friday after his caravan was involved in a six-car crash in Nevada, but his condition is "good" and he does not have life threatening injuries.
"Senator Reid's condition is good," Karen Gordon of the University Medical Center in Las Vegas confirmed to ABC News.
"He experienced rib and hip contusions and has been cleared for release by the doctors," Sen. Reid's office said in a statement. Some of Senator Reid's detail and a staffer had minor injuries in the accident and were evaluated at UMC.
The crash happened shortly after 4 p.m. Eastern Time while his caravan of four cars was driving on I-15 northbound hear Sahara. Reid is a member of the Congressional leadership so he gets a security detail.
Reid, according to aides, was just taken to the hospital "as a precaution" and walked in on his own. He was wearing his seat belt at the time of the accident, according to an aide. He has since been released from the hospital.
Earlier Friday Reid had delivered the keynote address at the dedication of the National Atomic Testing Museum. Reid's wife was not with him during the accident, she was at an event with first lady Michelle Obama in Nevada.
The Reid family has been prone to accidents and health related incidents in the last few years.
In March of 2011 Reid's wife and daughter were hospitalized after their own, and very serious, car crash in Northern Virginia. His wife was hospitalized with a broken back and neck after a truck slammed into the back of the minivan they were riding in.
In addition, Senator Reid in May 2011 slipped in the rain in Washington, DC and dislocated his shoulder and had a bump over his left eye.
Not an accident, but another health related incident, Mrs. Reid was also diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in September of 2011 but is so far making a full recovery.

Although they were 6 years ago Alan Jecort, Brandon Mayer and Dave Mickalson from CHS. You say how points don't mean anything and yet every player is based on points. Look at surronding cast if you want to go by points Paimant had nothing to work with and was the main focus of every team they played, same goes with Herbel. Connel from BHS controlled the game better than Monson if you are going by game control. Sam Aide, Jared Kopp, and Alec Kautzman all from BHS and I believe all went on to help MSU-Bott. win 1 or 2 national titles. And than go onto talent level, can you honestly say that the west has been even average the last 2-3 years? How many of his 55 points came aginst the lower 4 in the WDA Willy has 48 goals compared to 25 aginst top 4 teams and than 13 aginst usually lower level canadian teams. Nelson is a good player but I would like to know how many points he got from each scenario if possiable?
Thank you very much saucesauer.
Its about time that someone mentions jechort, shulte, mickelson, DALLAS BOSSART ( played with sydney crosby i do believe at Shattuck ), ross monson, charlie bair, justin connel, sam aide.
I forgot about Bossart, Wow I am almost willing to say he IS THE BEST player to come out of this state, but the entire Lamerioux family and Marto may have somthing to say about it.
throw Mike Peluso in there to maybe?
yes, peluso is most deffinately at the top of the list.
did anyone else make it to the big show from ND?
I feel Peluso is definitely the best to come out of ND, and Marto is also very good. My brother played with Jechort and Mayor and Schulte and all three were very talented but not in the league of Marto or Peluso, and Schulte was not in the league of Jechort. If you watched Marto in Highschool it was ridiculous how he could take over a game. his stats weren't mind blowing, but they were very good and more important then stats is Marto's passes were all perfect tape to tape and he made everyone around him look better. Also when Bossart aimed his slap shot right it was lethal.. anyone else remember his OT goal in state that helped Century upset Fargo North?

Changes in build 11
There are a lot of big game changing changes: mostly for streamlining and just making the game more fun. Whether or not either of these 2 goals occurred time will tell.
MAJOR CHANGES for 2017
* added 5 playable scenarios that you should try out after completing the tute!
* removed requirement to reset barracks-spawner with spawnerskull - so now your army simply spawns all the time
* default AI of your army is to charge enemy portal blindly if they can find a path (now that they respawn for free) and the portal has been spotted
* scrapped turrets, but now pylons attack like turrets - PYLONS are now your defensive towers and your Farms
* wiz has auto ranged & melee attack!
* wiz respawning but delay in respawn time proportional to deaths
(this all adds up to more of a MOBA feel)
* disabled peon traits (they were all useless or annoying)
* disabled / removed coal
* scrapped iron / smelting
* armour is now bonecrafted
* sword is now bonecrafted
* disabled / cave ins
* buried items default shown but with ?

Woodcreek Real Estate
Woodcreek is a large, family-friendly community in Roseville. Spanning over several blocks, commercial centers and neighborhoods, it is a bustling center of activity, with a large park, aquatic center, high school, and golf course.
The area is defined by Woodcreek High School and Woodcreek Golf Club, with at least three additional courses just blocks away (Timber Creek, Sierra Pines and Diamond Oaks). Nestled between the golf course and high school is Roseville Aquatics Center and Mahany Park. The aquatics center is one of the most popular pools in the county, making Woodcreek the place to be on warm summer afternoons. The center is home to an Olympic-sized competition pool; zero-depth recreation pool with beach entry; 150-foot-waterslide; and children's interactive water play area. Programs include a swim team, family night swimming, swim lessons, and water polo.
Just around the corner is Mahany Park, a 225-acre mecca of all parks, designed to be enjoyed by kids, teens, adults and even the dogs. In addition to a playground (which is universally accessible for kids of all abilities), the park is also home to a sports center (with cardio and weights room, fitness coaches, climbing wall and child care); an all-weather field; lighted softball and baseball complex; youth fields; tennis courts; and batting cages. The two-acre Bear Dog Park is also on-site, offering areas for both large and small dogs. All in all, Mahany Park is the epicenter of Woodcreek – a gathering place for families and pretty much anyone interested in staying fit or having fun.
The park also includes large open area with creek-side bikeways. Bike paths can be found throughout the area, connecting the various parks, fields, and neighborhoods, which consist of upper middle class homes, townhomes, and apartment complexes.
Even with Roseville's main shopping draws just miles away (The Fountains, Westfield Galleria, Costco, REI), the Woodcreek area is complete with grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and salons.

04/01/2012 – Day 11 10:00 Hot, low humidity. FC01 was sunning in dappled light. On sighting us it moved to the safety of a nearby low tree and bushes. When it felt secure in the bushes it stopped and turned to look at us. It looks to be in the same condition as when it […]

FC01 – Day 10
03/01/2012 – Day 10 12:00 Very hot, high humidity. FC01 was located in a large termite mound under a shady tree. Approx 109m from last known position. No visual of the snake. ………………………………………………………….
FC01 – Day 8
01/01/2012 – Day 8 14:00 38c, high humidity. FC01 appears to be skirting the fenceline – perhaps reluctant to venture into the adjoining pineapple fields. Approx 450m from last known position.
FC01 – Day 6
30/12/2011 – Day 6 11:00 High humidity. No physical sighting but we are glad to report that FC01 is still on the property despite having moved further towards the edge of the property. Approx 20m from last known position.
FC01 – Day 3
27/12/2011 – Day 3 11:00 No wonder we couldn't find it yesterday! The forest Cobra has moved to the other side of the property (and in a different direction to the one it was heading on release day). Using our telelmetry equipment we located Forest Cobra 01 – FC01 to a region of bush to […]
FC01 – Day 2
26/12/2011 – Day 2 Location unknown – we searched for it at various times throughout the day. But no, it appears to have gone AWOL.
FC01 – Release – Day 1
25/12/2011 – Day 1 18:00 Weather: Hot with short, light rain showers. On release forest cobra climbed into the trees to soak up the remaining sun rays from on top of the canopy. ………………………………………………………….
Merry Christmas! And a happy new snake project!
Yes, that's right, the second phase of our snake telemetry project has begun. At 18:00 today (25/12/2011) we released FC01 – the first Forest Cobra (Naja melanoleuca) of the second phase of our snake telemetry project. Read more and follow FC01 here!.
Telemetry project – phase 2
Ok, in less than a week our Forest Cobra will be undergoing surgery under the steady hand of Suzanne to have his telemtry unit fitted. A big thank you to the Invicta Arachnid Club from the UK for their donation towards this. We are testing a new release site which will allow us to better […]

He's also a monthly columnist for Scientific American, host of science shows on PBS's "NOVA," and two-time Emmy-winning correspondent for "CBS Sunday Morning." With over 3 million books in print, David is one of the world's bestselling how-to authors.

David's web site is www.davidpogue.com.
David blogs at:
Webcast: The Top 5 Features of Windows 8
Webcast: Mac OS X Lion: Pogue's Take
Webcast: OS X Mountain Lion and iPhone 5: Pogue's Take
"This is the only book that my students need to have because it has everything for both iphone and ipad..."
"Although there are online guides and tutorials aplenty for the latest version of iMovie, this excellent volume in the Missing Manual series does great double duty as an introductory guide and well laid-out reference volume. It's comprehensive, easy to use and thorough. The presence of so many clear illustrations and accessible context, step-by-step instructions; and the way the material is organized and cross-referenced should make this your first stop for supporting materials for iMovie 10."
"The color sidebars of information and keys to software make this at-a-glance manual a 'must' for any iPhone user."
"It's a powerful pick for any iPod user and should be the 'bible' accompanying any new user's purchase!"
"This book is an owners manual with a get out of jail free card that will help the reader navigate the complexities of syncing, Siri, iCloud, Facetime, or just the simple setup steps of a new owner. Davids unique writing style has made this a humorous and intuitive guide to one of the worlds most addictive and popular computers."
"This is the book that no iPhone user should be without. In his usual informative and witty style, Pogue covers all the bases of using an iPhone and iOS6. The information is relevant to all iPhone models that can use iOS6, namely the 3GS, 4, 4S, and 5. And much of the information about iOS6 carries over to the iPad as well.
"The book is a very informative manual for users of all levels and scores 10/10 in terms of content and value for money."
"This is quite possibly the best book David Pogue has ever done. It's certainly the best iphone book."
"No manual is easy to use, but David Pogue makes the chore more pleasant with his style of mixing humor and tech-speak in providing the information we need."
"This is the best computer book I know of. It is indispensable for making the transition from Windows to Mac."
"There might not be a huge difference in between the Lion book and this one, but there's still enough here to warrant getting this book if you just got Mountain Lion. "
"Still the OS X book to have if youre only having one."
"If you own a Mac, you need a copy of Mac OS X Mountain Lion: The Missing Manual."
"This is a great book for nearly all levels of computer users even advanced users who will get a large handful of Power User Tips and other information on advanced topics including how to install the free developer tools of X11, no longer part of the standard installation."
"It's all here. I am finding this book the cheapest and most reassuring way to make a test run and leaping dive into a new operating system."
"The authors (David Pogue) writing style is clearly written, succinctly worded and peppered with humor throughout the text. It makes it very readable and understandable for everyone from a beginner to an advanced user. This ebook or paperback is very informative, clearly organized, and very thoroughly indexed for retrieval of bits of information."
"The text of this book is wonderful, insightful, and helpful...This is certainly my go-to book for this program."
"A comprehensive guide to computing on the Mac with Apple's OS X Mountain Lion new Operating System. The new features and App Store-only distribution of this OS make this great piece of technical literature more necessary than ever."
"There's something new on practically every page of this new edition, and David Pogue brings his celebrated wit and expertise to every one of them. Apple's brought a new cat to town, and this great book will help you make get the most out of your investment."
"The author knows his subject, and users, especially insecure ones, will save a lot of grief with this book."

New Year 2016 at Lake Baikal
There is no such a glorified lake in the world as Lake Baikal. It can't be repeated and it is so fantastic, and all other Russian lakes seem in comparison with it small and fleet. The enormous size and depth of this lake, a surprising clearness and transparency of its emerald-green waters, severe beauty of the shores make an unforgettable impression. And if to ask experienced travelers to name three finest places of Russia, all of them will name among other Lake Baikal. The Russian Cossacks-pathfinders who have seen it in the XVII century for the first time named this lake "The Big Ocean-Sea ". However, the Cossack Pentecostal Kurbat Ivanov who led his detachment to the Baikal shore in 1643 wasn't the pioneer of Baikal. Before the Russian arrival there lived the different peoples for many centuries. And all of them gave to huge reservoir majestic names. Mongols, for example, named it Dalai Nor - "Great lake", and Evenki – "the Lama" that means "The Sea". And now inhabitants of coastal settlements, speaking about Baikal, usually call it "the sea". There is no wonder in it: the length of a huge reservoir - six hundred forty kilometers (it is a bit less, than from Moscow to Petersburg), and width in the middle part reaches eighty kilometers! The area of Baikal (31500 sq. km) takes the eighth place in the world among lakes and is approximately equal to the area of such country, as Belgium.
There are no lakes deeper than Baikal on continents of our planet: underwater echo sounder metered 1637 meters to the east from island Olkhon in 1974. The bottom of the Baikal cavity is 1200 meters below the ocean level and it is the lowest place on the whole land of the globe. The lake cavity contains the fifth part of all fresh water on the Earth (23000 cubic km). To take it out in the sea, all the rivers of the planet should work for eight months! In volume of water Baikal almost a hundred times surpasses the sea of Azov and in thirty times the Aral sea. Besides, Baikal is the purest on the Earth natural storehouse of fresh potable water. There are no open reservoirs with fresh water suitable for drinking in the world. Baikal is the only exception, whose waters possess exclusively high flavoring qualities.
The climate of the lake and its shores has much in common with the sea. Huge water mass of Baikal during the hot summer period gets warm to depth of 200-250 meters, but because of strong winds the water in it constantly mixes up, and its top layers haven't got enough time to get warm. Therefore, even in July water temperature in the lake is about ten degrees, and tempered people bathe in it only. The huge lake considerably influences surrounding territory: in the summer it is five-six degrees more cool, and in the winter about ten degrees warmer, than far from Baikal, for example, in Irkutsk. That's why the lake becomes covered by ice only in the end of December, and the unique river outflowing it - fast and wide Angara - throughout the duration of first thirty kilometers doesn't freeze at all.
The specific meteorological conditions are typical for Baikal. The winds on the lake are not the same as in the other places on the earth: struggling out of gorges suddenly they bring a lot of disasters. Each wind has its own local name usually associated with the valley of the river, where it is formed, for example: barguzin, kultuk, verkhovka, losk, sarma, nik, khius, siver and so on. The most furious of them are barguzin and sarma that blusters in autumn and in winter in the Small Sea just in front of Olkhonskiye Vorota (Olkhon Gates). Sarma, falling from mountains in narrow space of the Small Sea, reaches storm force, breaks crests of waves, forming tornadoes, lifts clouds of splashes which quickly freeze in the air, winds and a roar of waves can be so strong that they muffle a shot sound. The waters of Baikal boil spitefully and furiously: at times it seems that tops of waves reach black, low clouds. Rocks shudder from blows of waves and buzz ominously. Only the brush of the artist or symphonic music can transfer the majestic and terrible beauty of these storms.
There are some natural corners in Russia which conquer at once and for ever. One doesn't need to be a zoologist or a geologist to believe in uniqueness of Baikal. It is enough to be able to see and compare, and then any traveler, who though one time visited "the nice sea", as sure as fate will estimate justice and accuracy of an ancient proverb: "Who didn't see Baikal - that didn't use to know Siberia..."

'The Leftovers' Teaser: Damon Lindelof's Rapturous HBO Drama Conjures Second Sneak Peek
Just as HBO yesterday delivered our best look yet at the seventh and final season of 'True Blood,' so too has the premium cable network conjured yet another teaser for 'LOST' creator Damon Lindelof's post-rapture drama 'The Leftovers.' The grace period is over, but don't worry because the latest sneak peek at the upcoming series will walk you through the grieving process.
For those unfamiliar, HBO's 'The Leftovers' follows those left behind on Earth after a rapture of sorts, those not chosen to be taken up to Heaven, or at least so a portion of the population believes of the disappearance. Adapted from Tom Perrotta's 2009 novel of the same name, the show's pilot was directed by Peter Berg ('Lone Survivor').
We definitely get to see a little more of Christopher Eccleston in this new teaser than the previous full-length trailer allowed, and although this is an admittedly shorter look, it definitely sets a somber tone. 'The Leftovers' also stars Justin Theroux, Liv Tyler, Carrie Coon, Ann Dowd, Amanda Warren, Chris Zylka, Margaret Qualley, Michael Gaston, Max Carver, Charlie Carver, Annie Q, Paterson Joseph, Brad Leland, 'Private Practice' vet Amy Brenneman, and 'Fringe' star Emily Meade.
HBO's 'The Leftovers' will premiere on June 29 (having been pushed back two weeks from its original premiere for an unexpected production hiatus), so check out the latest sneak peek above, and tell us if you're interested to check out HBO's new drama from Damon Lindelof!

RJ Martin has a knack for functional blade shapes and comfortable, ergonomic handles. Many of his custom and limited production knives sell for $500 and up, so to get one of his designs at this price is remarkable. Kershaw, as well as Boker and some other manufacturers, is very adept at taking high end custom designs and turning them into production pieces. No corners were cut designing, engineering, and manufacturing the 3890 Scrambler. The assisted opening blade can only be opened with the flipper mechanism since it lacks conventional thumbstuds. The SpeedSafe mechanism is quick, strong, durable, and proven. It can be found on countless different Kershaw designs.
The best way to describe the Scrambler is that it is an extremely sleek looking and functioning knife. There's no jimping on the blade spine which I can live without, but some people might call it a crime that they left out this important part of ergonomics. However, the shape of the handle locks this knife into your hand just fine. The machining work on the backspacer, as well as the G10 handle with stainless steel bolsters, adds to the aesthetics of the knife making it a folder you will be proud to carry every day. The frame lock mechanism, ultra stout pocket clip, and coating on the steel parts of the knife add to the design's strength and wearability. This is a knife you should have in your collection and it can be found at www.knifecenter.com.

WASHINGTON, D.C. March 20, 2014—Today, a consortium of higher education organizations called on Congress to reform the overly complex repayment process for federal student loans by automatically enrolling all new borrowers in a single repayment plan based on income. Defaults among federal student loan borrowers have nearly doubled over the last five years and federal student loan delinquencies are at an all-time high.
Consortium members HCM Strategists, Institute for Higher Education Policy, National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, New America, and Young Invincibles have studied federal student loan repayment challenges in depth over the past nine months. Their joint white paper Automatic for the Borrower: How Repayment Based on Income Can Reduce Loan Defaults and Manage Risk proposes a series of innovative fixes to streamline the repayment process, including:

Insulting Inscriptions 101
Some handy tips when crafting the perfect cake zinger:
1) Don't misspell it.
There's nothing like borrowing song lyrics for a backhanded compliment, but misspell the thing (and omit all the necessary apostrophes) and you come across more crude than clever.
2) Be specific.
Ok, so Charity smells - but what does she smell like? Hmm? Could be roses, or cotton candy. (Mmm, cotton candy...) This is the time to release your inner muse: tell us what putrescent stench Charity is emitting, and really explore your literary space, ok?
3) Keep it simple.
While you're exploring that space, though, don't get so carried away that no one can tell what you're trying to say. Instead of an oddly phrased "Youth Forgot", why not go with something more straightforward? You know, like this:
See, the lack of exclamation marks or capital letters here really brings home juuust the right amount of indifference. Even the off-centered leaning seems to say, "Hey, I got you a cake, alright? Don't go pushing your geezer luck by expecting quality."
And lastly,
4) A little name-calling can go a long way.
Again, creativity is king here. Just watch your penmanship; that "Fink" could almost be mistaken for "Tink".
Thanks to this next one I think I've found my new favorite pet name for John:Kathryn R., Laura I., Sonya L., Mercedes R., Beth, & Kelli A., obviously your fathers smelled of elderberries.

Getting permission for a 16- and 17-year-old teen to work extra hours
If there is "good cause" why a 16- or 17-year-old teen needs to work more hours per week than shown on the chart on Hours of Work, the employer can apply for a variance of:
Up to 28 hours per week — through a Special Variance
Many 16- and 17-year-olds have a reduced school schedule or have demonstrated that they are able to work additional hours on top of their school schedule and extracurricular activities. L&I has delegated the responsibility to grant permission for a minor to work up to eight extra hours during the school week to the parents and the school.
- With a special variance, a 16- or 17-year-old teen can work up to 6 hours in a day, with a maximum of 28 hours during a school week in non-agricultural jobs if the school, business, parents, and teens agree that the extra work hours would not be detrimental to the teen's well-being, school attendance or academic performance.
- The special variance does not require approval from Labor & Industries.
- A special variance must include signatures of approval from the parent, teen, business, and the school.
- The special variance is included on page 2 of the regular Parent/School Authorization form.
- The school must verify that the employer has a valid minor work permit either verbally or by requesting a copy from the business.
- Important: The school must consider whether the student's school schedule and school performance can allow for the specific work hours.
More than 28 hours per week — through a Regular Variance
If the extra hours provided by the special variance are not enough, the business can pursue a regular variance with L&I.
- Who requests
a regular variance?
The business can request a variance for a 16- or 17-year-old teen worker to be able to work more hours per day or days per week than a special variance would allow if the business and the teen worker feel there is "good cause," and as long as it is not harmful to the teen. The business must have a valid Minor Work Permit. See Hiring Minors. Rarely is a variance granted to allow a minor to work in a prohibited work activity since these duties are considered hazardous to youth. L&I does not grant variances for hours of work or work activities regulated by the federal child labor laws. Regular Variance Application form.
- What does "good
cause" mean?
At a minimum, "good cause" refers to the reasons that support the businesses' need for a variance, or the financial need of the teen or the teen's family, or occasionally a teen's special talent. The business must be able to demonstrate that the variance will not be harmful to the health, safety, and welfare of the minor (including school attendance and performance).
- How does the
business apply for a variance?
The business must submit a written Variance Application stating the type of variance needed and the reason for it to:
The Employment Standards program
Department of Labor & Industries
PO Box 44510, Olympia, WA 98504-4510
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Fax: 360-902-5300
If necessary, L&I staff may request additional information from the business.
- When does a variance
Most variances expire annually, usually at the same time as the Minor Work Permit, and must be renewed, if applicable. Some variances are specific to a season or period of time and the expiration will be specified in the approval letter the business receives from the department.

Madden led the team with 16 kills helping Harvard complete a five set, come-frome-behind victory against conference rival Princeton.
PRINCETON, N.J.- The Harvard men's volleyball team won in dramatic fashion for the second-straight night, coming back from being down 2-1 to win in five sets. Sophomore Nick Madden led the Crimson in kills with 16 to help Harvard improve to 11-2 on the year, 5-2 in the EIVA.
In the final set the two teams traded points early on as Harvard opened up with a kill from Will Chambers, but a service error knotted things back up at 1-1. With the score 2-2 Harvard scored three-striaght points as the freshman tandem of DJ White and Caleb Zimmick helped push Harvard to a 5-2 lead, forcing a Tiger timeout. Coming out the break Harvard didn't relent scoring three-straight points to extend the led to 8-2, forcing Princeton to call its second timeout. It seemed the breather helped the Tigers as they tallied the next two points as Harvard recorded two errors, but the momentum was fleeting as the Crimson went on a 5-0 run to extend its lead to 13-4. The Tigers once again attempted a comeback recording three-straight points but Harvard was able to close out the set on an attack error by Cody Kessel and a kill by Madden to seal the set, 15-7.
Madden paced the Crimson with 16 kills while senior Matt Jones followed behind with 15. Junior Rob Lothman had another game with over 50 assists, tallying 51, while Chambers led the Crimson defense with one solo block and five block assists. Kessel was the driving force for the Princeton offense registering 15 kills while Scott Liljestrom dished out 43 assists in the match. Michael Dye recorded three solo blocks and five block assists. Meanwhile Tony Ensbury and Jeff Stapleton shared the team lead in digs with eight apiece.
Harvard will next be in action on its California road trip as it takes on Cal State Northridge, Pepperdine and Cal Baptist. Those matches are slated for March 10, 12 and 13, respectively

EAST NORRITON - The vehicle stolen during the kidnapping of a Montgomery County jewelry store owner last week was recovered Tuesday night and is now being processed for evidence, according to police.
The victim's 2012 Volkswagen Passatt was found around 11 p.m. when residents reported its presence after seeing news coverage of last week's armed home invasion and robbery.
Police Tuesday announced a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the incident.
The investigation began at around 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 31 when Tredyffrin police officers were called to a home in the 200 block of Wooded Way, in Tredyffrin's Berwyn section, for reports of a home invasion robbery and kidnapping.
Police said four masked men, armed with handguns, forced their way into the home and tied up the husband and wife victims before ransacking the home. They then forced the man into his white Volkswagen Passatt and drove him to his jewelry store. Police believe some of the suspects followed behind in another vehicle, thought to be a silver or blue sedan possibly made by Chrysler.
