Staff Sergeant Jeremy Cooney received a tear-jerking welcome when he returned from serving with the United States Marines in Afghanistan.
The North Carolina Marine was greeted at Camp Lejeune by his 6-year-old son, Michael, walking toward him. Michael, who has cerebral palsy, had not been able to walk when Cooney was deployed.
Doctors had told the Cooney family that Michael would never walk.
"When daddy was away, he learned to walk," Cooney's wife, Melissa, told WelcomeHomeBlog.com. "For his homecoming, we set it up for Michael to walk to his daddy for the first time ever! We kept the fact that he could walk a secret the whole time his dad was gone!"
Watch the touching moment below.

Today I have Tony Moly Galaxy Nail Polish in GT02 which is a dark navy blue base (to me anyway) with tons of micro sparkles. It is similar to GT01 (reviewed yesterday) although the glitter is finer and there are fewer contrasts in the colour. I think it's more elegant GT01.
The glitters in this are red, blue, some gold. It feels finer on the nail than the other polishes which are like sandpaper!
Like the other polishes in the range it is medium thick and easy to apply:
I only bought this one so I could swatch the whole set but actually, its surprisingly pretty to wear.
What do you make of this polish?

One of my Facebook friends called him "the great divider."
Even though I am both aware and horrified by the endless hatred directed at whoever sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, I think that's a fair thing to say about President Obama. His penchant for one man sledgehammer legislating against the First Amendment is a particular case in point.
So far as I am concerned, the HHS Mandate is a permanent blot on his presidency.
I've spent the morning, sifting through the product of our President's mighty pen from yesterday. I've been sitting in front of my computer with the screens littered with copies of the executive orders he amended, wondering, where, exactly, is this one man show pointing us?
My best guess, based on what I see, is that it's pointing us toward court. The reason is the lack of a specific religious exemption in President Obama's verbiage.
What he has done with this executive order is to amend two previous executive orders from the 1960s. These 1960s executive orders provided direction to the Department of Labor on the question of discrimination in employment. The orders dealt with employment discrimination because of "race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or age." President Obama's executive order adds "sexual orientation, gender identity" to that list.
Executive Order 11478 deals with direct federal employment by direct government agencies. I think it will stand and basically have no big problem with the order as I understand it now. I may change my opinion when I see the rules promulgated by the Department of Labor.
However, Executive Order 11246 deals with federal contractors. This could be construed to include grantees and, if you want to stretch it, any entity that receives federal money for anything.
President Obama did not address a third executive order by President Bush, Executive Order 13279. President Bush's order was designed to protect the religious freedom of entities that receive grants, contract with the government or otherwise receive government monies. It contains a laundry list of sorts of the types of services which it covers. It also specifically addresses the entities covered by Executive Order 11246, which applies to federal contractors. Executive Order 11246 is one of the orders President Obama amended yesterday.
The assumption being made in various press outlets that I have read is that President Bush's executive order provides the religious exemptions needed to keep President Obama's ENDA order from turning into another HHS Mandate.
Is that true?
Only somewhat, and, depending on the regs the Department of Labor comes up with, maybe not at all.
The reason I say that is two-fold. First, and scariest, President Obama's order calls on the Department of Labor to promulgate rules. This is normal and necessary. What makes it scary is the big time precedent of this administration using rules and regs to attack religious freedom.
The disastrous HHS Mandate is a rule, not a law. Of course, if the president sincerely wants to avoid another HHS Mandate, he can use his powers to encourage sensible regulations that ensure religious liberty. He also has the power to deep-six any reg or rule by not signing it.
I'm taking a wait and see position on how those rules are going to look and what this president signs. He lied about religious freedom to get the votes to pass the Affordable Health Care Act and he's consistently lied about the impact of the HHS Mandate. So, I don't trust him.
The second reason I think this may end up in court is that court cases and various agency rulings have already attacked Catholic institutions and successfully stripped them of federal grants because of the Church's adherence to 2,000 year-old consistent teachings. There is also a lawsuit in the courts attacking the Catholic bishops for teaching Catholic teaching concerning abortion in regards to Catholic hospitals.
Both Robert George, Vice President at United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, and the Catholic Bishops have issued statements opposing President Obama's ENDA order precisely because it lacks a religious exemption. I think they are on solid ground.
Based on that litigious impulse to attack Catholic teaching through the courts, I think the chances of ENDA ending up in court are quite good. What we will probably have at that point is adjudication based on dueling executive orders. President Obama could have stopped this before it got out of the gate by simply adding a religious exemption to his orders yesterday.
I going to let you read both Robert George's complete statement and the complete statement from the USCCB without edits.
From the USCCB:
USCCB Chairmen Respond To 'Unprecedented And Extreme' Executive Order
July 21, 2014WASHINGTON–The bishop-Chairmen of two USCCB Committees responded with great concern to President Obama's July 21 executive order to prohibit federal government contractors from what the Administration deems "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" discrimination and to forbid "gender identity" discrimination in the employment of federal employees. The problems the bishops identify in the order relate both to the flaws in its core prohibitions, and to its lack of religious freedom protection.
Two USCCB Chairmen – Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty and Bishop Richard J. Malone of Buffalo, Chairman of the Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth – together issued the following statement.
Today's executive order is unprecedented and extreme and should be opposed.
In the name of forbidding discrimination, this order implements discrimination. With the stroke of a pen, it lends the economic power of the federal government to a deeply flawed understanding of human sexuality, to which faithful Catholics and many other people of faith will not assent. As a result, the order will exclude federal contractors precisely on the basis of their religious beliefs.
More specifically, the Church strongly opposes both unjust discrimination against those who experience a homosexual inclination and sexual conduct outside of marriage, which is the union of one man and one woman. But the executive order, as it regards federal government contractors, ignores the inclination/conduct distinction in the undefined term "sexual orientation." As a result, even contractors that disregard sexual inclination in employment face the possibility of exclusion from federal contracting if their employment policies or practices reflect religious or moral objections to extramarital sexual conduct.
The executive order prohibits "gender identity" discrimination, a prohibition that is previously unknown at the federal level, and that is predicated on the false idea that "gender" is nothing more than a social construct or psychological reality that can be chosen at variance from one's biological sex. This is a problem not only of principle but of practice, as it will jeopardize the privacy and associational rights of both federal contractor employees and federal employees. For example, a biological male employee may be allowed to use the women's restroom or locker room provided by the employer because the male employee identifies as a female.
In an attempt to avoid these needless conflicts, states that have passed "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" prohibitions have overwhelmingly included protections for religious employers. When the U.S. Senate, which is controlled by the President's own party, passed the similar Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) last year, it included religious liberty protections as well. Indeed, all prior versions of ENDA had at least some religious liberty protections. But the executive order is an anomaly in this regard, containing no religious liberty protections. In this way, the order, which is fundamentally flawed in itself, also needlessly prefers conflict and exclusion over coexistence and cooperation.
Regarding federal contractors, the Executive Order will take effect after rules to be promulgated by the Department of Labor implementing the Executive Order become final. Regarding federal employment, the Executive Order is effective immediately.

Sister Mary Ann Walsh
From Robert George's Facebook page:
I have, up till now, avoided the "war on this," "war on that," rhetoric. But now there is no avoiding it. Today Barack Obama declared war on the Catholic Church and people of other faiths who hold to traditional beliefs about marriage and sexual morality. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops explains the situation in a statement responding to the executive order the President issued today. There is no way for religious people to defend themselves against being reduced to the status of second-class citizens except by electing to office, first in 2014 and then in 2016, men and women who will repeal this executive order and other governmental acts that undermine their religious freedom and rights of conscience. But that is only part of the picture. The reason that Catholics and other people of faith seek government contracts is to carry our their mission of serving people in need, orphans, the poor, refugees and the dispossessed, persons suffering from afflictions and addictions. It is the people who are served who are secondary victims of this war on conscience when faith-based providers are forced out—as Catholic Charities was forced out of providing adoption services in Massachusetts, Illinois, and the District of Columbia. We must defeat the enemies of conscience—at the ballot box—not only to protect our own freedom and that of our fellow citizens, but also to protect the interests of those served so well by faith-based institutions. This is a war we must win for their sake as well as our own.

There was a time when advertisements in newspapers and television determined the face of a company or product in public. But now the conditions have changed drastically. Now the first need in starting and company or launching a product is the website design. The launch of the website has become a main even relative to the premiers of the films. As the importance of websites increases the scope of website development also has seen a boom. Website development companies are on a rising path and there are millions of career opportunities associated with it.
The popularity of websites started with the availability of internet in everyone's home. Now no one bothers to search for information in books or journals. They just need to search for it in the web. Just type the keyword in the search bar of a search engine and within seconds hundreds of relevant information will be available to you. This method is favored by everyone. So website development for a company is essential.
Some years back, the website design and implementation was not an easy task. In addition to this the sites were not impressive. The drop shadows, beveled buttons and bad flash made such websites a total pain for the eyes. And as CSS were not introduced all the data was roughly arranged in tables which were chunky and hard to work. But as years passed new technologies came to existence which made the website design child's play. Now, with a little bit of imagination and technical know how everyone can create their own website.
But for professional website design you can always seek the help of a web development company. As there are a number of web development companies and as there is strict competition in the field you can always find a lot of choices for your needs at the right budget. Just try to choose the best company that can deliver you with the right work and the right time. Always find time to conduct meetings and tell them about your needs and expectations. Also give them ideas about your company profile and product details. This will help them to give their best for your website design.
Website designing can be made more fun by using many of the tools that are available now. They are Drupal, WordPress, Joomla etc. these tools give you enormous options of customization and add on applications. These tools are web based applications that is, they is compatible with all the web browsers. They are also open source software which makes them free and there is also an opportunity to get unlimited updates and enhancements. Any maintenance can be done with the help of forums and live demonstrations available online.
Design a website that can represent the face of your company over the internet. After your site goes online there is a need to do

I'm from a country where it doesn't snow in the cities.
If you're lucky it might snow in some alpine areas a couple of hours out of the city (see Victorian and New South Wales snowfields), but mostly you only see snow if you go hunting for it, and rarely do you ever see it actually falling. If need be, the holiday resorts manufacture their own snow so they can maintain a ski season in years when the snowfall isn't up to par.
I think the first time I saw snow was in about sixth grade when my parents took us away for a day to the Victorian snowfields, and my brothers and I had our first experience of throwing snowballs at each other, making a snowman, and just generally mucking about in the snow. I can't recall ever attempting to ski, but my memory may be fuzzy on this.
Apart from that, and being sleeted upon in November 2006 whilst tramping around the Tongariro Crossing area of New Zealand (I wasn't brave enough to climb the scree with my friends, Hugh and Jamie, who subsequently got properly snowed upon), my heaviest actual snowfall experienced previously was pretty piddling: a flurry in Birmingham city centre a couple of weeks after arriving in the UK in 1999, and a similarly brief 'white Christmas' in Newcastle a few weeks later.
Even in the two and a half years I lived here previously, most of the snow I experienced was already on the ground. This included when I had to work between the Christmas and New Year holidays one year, and I walked out of my front door in Reading and stopped on the doorstep, utterly perplexed at what confronted me. It took a good couple of beats before my sleep-deprived brain registered "It snowed!" Having snowed overnight whilst we slept, I had still not been snowed upon, good and proper; and since I had to work, I left my housemate and my then-boyfriend to run around in said snow in their boxer shorts throwing snowballs at each other, whilst I attempted to venture into town without falling on my arse.
So you can imagine I was pretty excited by actual snow, actually falling, at the start of February right outside my house. There were a few preliminary flurries over the weeks leading up to it, but I'd managed to blink and miss every single one. And given the windows to my bedroom are quite high up, and mostly obscured from view by the sloping ceiling when I'm sitting at my desk, it was only because I was talking with my housemates at the time and my landlady mentioned it, that I even noticed.
Suffice to say, despite the cold, I grabbed my camera and wandered out to try to catch some photos. Some at the beginning of the snowfall from the footpath outside my house; the rest from the warmth and dry of my bedroom, the landing, the kitchen and lounge.
I even woke at random points through the night to check if it was still snowing (e.g. 4:30am, and again at 8:30am), and shot off some more photos.
My landlady and housemates were not so excited by the prospect of snow, with concerns about driving and potential flight delays. And though I worried about the impact it would have on Kyle's arrival (it caused slight additional delay); and knew the novelty would pass once I had to venture out, once the snow had turned to sludge, and when the pure white snowfall was discoloured by so many neighbourhood dogs' urine, I think my inner tourist was showing.

Global Currency Tensions Rise
Japan's Abe Calls on Central Bank to Resist Easing Moves by U.S. and Europe
TOKYO—Japan's incoming prime minister fired a volley into increasingly tense global currency markets, saying the country must defend itself against attempts by other governments to devalue their currencies by ensuring the yen weakens as well.
Shinzo Abe's call comes as others including Bank of England Gov. Mervyn King warn that the world's economic-policy makers risk becoming embroiled in currency spats that could heighten tensions among countries....

First, ask your friends around you about the insurance policies, which they are using, but the most important thing to keep in mind is that your friend's need may be different from the one, which is used by you.
The other thing is that you should not opt for a particular plan just because your friend has recommended to you. Instead, you have to go through the plan carefully and see that the plan provides you with different type of services that you are looking for. After all the research, one could choose a plan and can proceed with the plan.
The advantage for looking out for cheap rates online is the competition that is present among the insurance company's, and each insurance company is alert of it. If you are looking to have cheap insurance then you have to compare the rates with different companies.
The most important thing to look out for is the zip codes, which are even ten miles from each one can actually have a huge difference in the periodical premium charges that is to be paid. This is also based on cost of livelihood and other factors as well.
If you are making a health insurance online, then you have to fill up the form online, where you have to answer some questions and it is a very fast process. There would be some general questions asked such as the age, the degree of risks, and the terms of premium and there benefits that is offered on the plan.
You can opt for a particular plan, which offers the services and the features, and if you think that, it will help your needs then you can opt for it. Some of them are comfortable with catastrophic insurances that would guard you from costly hospital and medical bills, but cannot have the coverage of doctor's visits until a huge deductible is met.
Given the current recession it is important to make sure to prioritize your money and compare insurance quotes online. A good place to state would be an online website that actually allows you to compare insurance quotes online for free.

Dear Members of the UW Community, As we start the year, I want to take a moment to welcome you back for another academic year. I'd also like to highlight last year's efforts to address issues around teaching and technology and to give you a preview of what's next as together we tackle even broader issues around learning experiences that prepare our students for success in their classes, careers, and communities. I look forward to hearing from you, learning from you, and working with you to lead change in public higher education—change built on our enduring strengths.
Putting Learning First
Teaching and Technology: From Hype to How-Tos
The rapid rise of massive online open courses (MOOCs) and other potentially game-changing technologies has sparked a national conversation about technology-enhanced learning. The broader dialogue includes voices forcefully asserting that new technologies are ruining the best aspects of education, that technology in the classroom is the cure to what ails us, and everything in between. Last year, we set out to examine these claims. Our goal was to work with faculty and staff to determine the pros and cons of online and hybrid instruction, and to identify methods that align technology with research-based pedagogy. The result was a series of reports that reviewed current literature about student learning and shared how educators across all three UW campuses are using diverse approaches—low- and high-tech, online and face-to-face, incremental and extensive—to help students learn. The reports also provided specific how-tos for instruction, and pointed to resources for faculty and staff to help them participate, experiment, and learn more.
New Resources for Teaching with Technology
Along with the reports, leaders on all three campuses have joined me in promoting efforts to help faculty explore and implement new ideas around teaching, learning, and technology. Through the Teaching & Learning in the 21st Century Initiative, we tested emerging technologies such as MOOCs and eTextbooks and introduced tools like Tegrity for capturing lectures and the Canvas Learning Management System. UW Tacoma is developing ways to use learner-based analytics to send personalized support to students, and has received national attention for a pilot program
that gives students "nudges" on their mobile devices to help them
stay on track in online classes. We piloted a "flipping the classroom" project to foster rich conversations and experimentation about active learning among faculty, while UW-IT's Ignite! sessions and the Teaching & Learning Symposium's keynote panel featured faculty sharing their classroom innovations. We brought educators together in a variety of Faculty and Professional Learning Communities (FPLCs) hosted by the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), opened technology-enhanced active learning classrooms in Odegaard Undergraduate Library, and added a new Distinguished Teaching Award for Innovation. UW Tacoma updated the approval process for online courses to
rubric-based peer review. UW Bothell hosted an ePortfolio conference, and initiated the Worthington Innovation Fellows program, which in 2013–2014 is supporting seven new projects,
including teaching with mobile devices, developing a remotely accessible electrical engineering laboratory, and exploring credentialed learning in systems such as MOOCs.
We also offered intensive hybrid and online course development institutes on all three campuses for faculty. UW Tacoma iTech Fellows developed courses for a hybrid EdD and an online Criminal Justice degree, among others. Faculty
who participated in the 2013 UW Bothell Hybrid Course Development Institute experienced learning in a hybrid environment as they developed their own hybrid and online courses. Thanks to a generous private donation, a new Technology Teaching Fellows Institute in Seattle provided support to more than 30 faculty during Summer 2013 and will be offered again in Summer 2014. Faculty response was overwhelmingly positive. "The institute was great. I couldn't have redesigned my course without this," said Betsy Evans, Assistant Professor of Linguistics at UW Seattle.

2013 TTF Institute, held in the new active learning classrooms in Odegaard
Undergraduate Library.
In developing these reports and increasing efforts to support faculty, we were pleased, but not surprised, to find so many innovative educators and creative ideas—and gratified by the opportunity to raise awareness of their efforts. It is our sincere hope that highlighting this topic, providing ideas and support for those beginning to experiment, and connecting educators to peers and resources will help advance this work at the UW and further develop a community in which innovative ideas don't stay with one person but spark collegial sharing and experimentation. Our commitment to this conversation and to community-driven effort continues as we enter this next academic year. The CTL and UW-IT are continuing to develop events and resources for faculty. These include the development of a Certificate in Teaching in Higher Education for
graduate students, groundwork to support implementation of the Diversity
Requirement, efforts to encourage creative use of the new active
learning classrooms in Odegaard Undergraduate Library, and, in partnership with the Graduate School, a tri-campus FPLC on active learning and flipping courses. We are excited to see where our faculty, staff, and students will take us.
What's next? A UW education is a major, and more.
This year we are inspired to tackle a broader topic in response to national debates centering on the value of a campus-based college education, issues such as whether college prepares graduates for the "real world," the value of the liberal arts, concerns over a crisis of democratic and civic society, and uncertainty around our nation's and region's continued economic and intellectual competitiveness. Many in the UW community are asking how the UW can educate the whole student and prepare graduates even better to contribute meaningfully to a changing world in their professional, personal, and civic lives. We aim to spend this year learning more about how students can take advantage of both curricular and co-curricular learning experiences—learning that takes place both in and out of the classroom. We want to ensure exceptional learning and engagement experiences—and help students integrate their learning across these experiences—so that our graduates are prepared for successful careers and meaningful lives in their communities.
We will work to connect faculty and staff with each other, with resources on best practices, and with practical support for helping our students better integrate their various learning experiences. In addition, we will provide opportunities for the UW
community to tackle questions such as these: How do we help students cultivate knowledge, skills, and strengths; practice the ability to transfer knowledge from one domain to another; and broaden their perspectives about themselves, others, and the world? How do we help them become successful lifelong learners who contribute in their workplaces and communities? How do we help students navigate the variety of learning opportunities available at the UW, strategically participate in meaningful educational experiences, and then integrate their curricular and co-curricular endeavors? How do we support their desire to act now—solving problems and developing creative ideas to address real issues—in ways that connect to their academic pursuits? What can we learn from our graduates and their employers about preparing students for their first jobs, their first careers, and every career thereafter—careers that may not yet exist? How do busy educators fit activities to support these goals into packed calendars and to-do lists?As with our efforts around teaching with technology, we will investigate practical and pedagogically sound ways to support the integration of curricular and co-curricular learning, and help students build the intellectual and collaborative skills that enable personal success and civic engagement. We will seek out and share the work already going on at the UW in order to connect colleagues to resources and to each other.
Helping our students prepare for the world—and prepare to change the world—is our shared work, and we look forward to doing it together.

TWD: Brownie Buttons
Brownie Buttons, the one-bite alternative to conventional brownies. These didn't last long. As you can tell, I chose to dust them with powdered sugar. While melted white chocolate or regular frosting sounds good, these little guys are rich enough to stand on their own.
My mini-muffin pan handles 12. Two buttons were baked in mini-paper cups. Of course, they were the first to disappear because of that.
The cooling rack was a dangerous location. Several buttons never received their powdered sugar dusting.
These were fun and quick to make, and very likely to be made again!
Brownie Buttons were brought to us this week by Jayma of Two Scientists Experimenting in the Kitchen. Check out the TWD blog for other renditions and opinions.
(Next week's selection is Applesauce Spice Bars, which may or may not be posted on-time, depending on my copious free-time, since I am heading out of town early tomorrow morning.)

I agree - these were good enough on their own that they'd have been perfect with powdered sugar. Yours look terrific!

Virginia Democrats are reaching for the hottest of hot-button issues nearly eight months before this year's gubernatorial election, slamming Republican Ken Cuccinelli for equating slavery abolition to today's anti-abortion movement.
A Democratic Party tracker's video shows Cuccinelli last summer telling a small gathering of religious conservatives that "the truth demonstrates its own rightness" through American history starting with opposition to slavery 150 years ago and continuing to abortion now.
Democrats sought to use the video to attack Cuccinelli as being too extreme.
Cuccinelli spokeswoman Anna Nix called it Democrat Terry McAuliffe's effort to shift the race away from job creation toward divisive issues.
Virginia Democrat Doug Wilder -- a grandson of slaves and the nation's first elected black governor -- says suggesting moral equivalence between slavery and abortion was outrageous and ignorant.

BOSTON, Mass. - Led by a dominating performance from freshman hitter Patsy Boland (Chicago, Ill.) volleyball cruised to their sixth straight Little East Conference tournament championship after handing the Colonials of Western Connecticut State University a 3-0 loss Saturday afternoon at the Clark Athletic Center in the first of two semi-final matches played at UMass Boston.
With the victory the top-seeded Beacons will face the second-seeded Owls of Keene State College tomorrow at noon in the Clark Gym. The winner of that match will earn the conference's automatic bid. The Beacons are in the hunt for their fifth straight conference tournament title, while the Owls are looking to earn their second conference title in program history, with the first coming in the Clark Gym in 2009.
The Beacons as a team used a balanced offense and strong defense to defeat the fourth seeded Colonials. When the ball was on their side of the net UMB posted a team hitting percentage of .327, while defensively they held WCSU to a mere -.030 hitting percentage and combined for four team blocks in the victory. The first game proved to be the closest of the three games played as the two teams exchanged control of the scoreboard twice, while also finding themselves tied five times.
However, the Beacons were able to take advantage of two huge plays late in the opening frame, which helped them earn a 25-17 victory. From there UMass wasted little time dispatching their conference opponent earning a 25-12 win in the second and 25-14 win in the third.
Boland's match changing performance saw the freshman score 13 kills on 26 attempts for a .423 hitting percentage. Behind her senior Corrine Porter (Huntington Beach, Calif.) and junior Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) each threw down nine kills to help carry UMB. Morrison was consistent as usual as she finished with a .444 hitting percentage.
For Porter her nine kills complemented a 14 dig performance which was second most for the Beacons. Elizabeth Glavan (Edina, Minn.) overcame a shaky first game and went on to finish with 20 digs in first collegiate postseason appearance.
Anchoring the Beacons yet again was senior setter Megan Pollock (Wilton, Calif.). The 36 assists proved to be a huge factor in why UMass Boston was able to secure a spot in Sunday's conference final. The California native also finished with three kills one ace and six digs for another complete showing.
Freshman Julia Murphy also made her first collegiate postseason appearance count as she finished with seven kills (.263 hitting percentage) and four block assists. Boland recorded two block assists, while Pollock and Porter each finished with one.
For the Colonials, Karissa Smith recorded 10 kills in the loss, while setter Jennifer Hogan managed 11 assists. Rachel Volpe put-up nine digs to lead WCSU, while Nina Wojtkiewicz finished with eight. Heather Williams and Smith each managed a team-best three block assists in the loss.

An interdisciplinary delegation of researchers and educators, led by UC Davis, met this month at the Integrated Biological Networks Driving Disease Outcomes conference in Uberlândia, Brazil, to explore new opportunities for collaboration with the Brazilian Research Network in the biomedical and translational sciences.
The conference was held at the Universidade Federal de Uberlandia (UFU), one of the country's most prominent public universities and a key partner in expanding UC Davis Health System's connections to Brazil. Nearly 200 colleagues from throughout the country attended, including representatives from public and private research foundations, as well as investigators, postdoctoral scholars and students from multiple universities.
Co-chairs of the conference were Satya Dandekar, professor and chair of medical microbiology and immunology at UC Davis School of Medicine, and Luiz Goulart, a professor at UFU's Institute of Genetics and Biochemistry and visiting professor in UC Davis' medical microbiology and immunology department.
Goulart and Dandekar first began working with UFU in 2009, promoting scholarly activities, research collaborations, and faculty and trainee exchanges.
"Interactions with Brazilian institutions provide UC Davis students, researchers and clinicians tremendous opportunities for new collaboration and study," said Dandekar. "Like the United States, Brazil has an extraordinarily diverse population and faces challenges of human and plant diseases. Pathogens know no borders, and international collaborations like this enable scientists to leverage their strengths and apply 'One World One Health ' approaches to improve health. Areas of study will range from defining the biological networks driving disease outcomes to developing new biomarkers and sensor platforms for the detection and management of infectious diseases and cancer, which affect communities worldwide."
The conference focused on expanding UC Davis' existing relationships with Brazil, especially in the fields of biomedical research and translational science. Claire Pomeroy, vice chancellor for human health sciences and dean of the School of Medicine at UC Davis, participated in the conference's opening ceremony. The Brazilian Research Network presented Pomeroy with an Award for Innovation in Health and Social Responsibility in recognition of her dedication to improving human health and reducing health disparities.
The UC Davis delegation presented sessions on infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, cancer molecular biology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, imaging, bioinformatics and immunology, among others. UC Davis faculty members who attended the conference included:
- Ralph deVere White, director of the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center
- Lars Berglund, senior associate dean of research and director of the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center
- Abhaya Dandekar, professor of plant sciences
- Kit Lam, professor of biochemistry and molecular medicine
- George Thompson, Andreas Baumler and Renee Tsolis, all professors of medical microbiology and immunology
- Ricardo Castro, professor of chemical engineering and materials science
- R. Holland Cheng, professor of molecular and cellular biology
- Sumathi Sankaran-Walters, a fellow in the Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) program.
Health system projects that result from this conference will complement existing Brazilian programs at UC Davis, including 12 agreements of cooperation with Brazilian educational and research organizations and the Brazilian Scientific Mobility Program, which has funding for more than 100 Brazilian fellowships at UC Davis in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. These programs underscore Brazil's significant investment in a knowledge-based economy and in the advancement of science.
"International collaborations are vital to achieving our educational and research missions," said Berglund. "Perspectives of researchers from other regions of the world inspire us to ask new questions, find better solutions, and increase the scope, quality and impact of our work."
The collaboration with Brazil represents UC Davis' and UC Davis Health System's commitment to improve lives and transform health care at the local, national and global levels. It is one of the many international relationships UC Davis Health System has developed over the years to improve health, including projects with Mexico, China, Korea and Sweden.

text: Tennis champ Andy Murray celebrated winning the US Open with a very sober, and comped, meal at Theater District restaurant Hakkasan for him and 20 pals. The Post's Helen Freund reports Murray, who defeated defending champion Novak Djokovic in the five-set final in Forest Hills, arrived at the pricey Chinese eatery on West 43rd Street after midnight just as they were closing Monday. The restaurant stayed open just for the group, who feasted on stir-fried Brazilian lobster tail and truffle-roasted duck on the $168 "signature menu." Murray stuck to an alcohol-free $6 lemon soda while the rest of the table downed $15 zesty martinis, Louis Roederer champagne and other celebratory cocktails. The total tab was $5,040 for food plus $1,408 for drink for a grand total of $6,448. But the restaurant only charged Murray (who earlier picked up a $1.9 million champion's check) and his party the 20 percent tip, $1,289.60. A Hakkasan waiter told us: "[The restaurant does] that all the time. For them, it's just good publicity."

Many Americans view Memorial Day as the holiday that ushers in summer.
Others see it as the end of the school year and a time of pomp and circumstance that surrounds high school graduation.
For some, it is a holiday to rightfully honor the forgotten men and women who served and died to protect America's freedom.
But at least one woman – Sally Deese – sees Memorial Day weekend as a chance to say thank you to a group that's near and dear to her, and that's what she does through the Golden Age of Merit dinner.
Thrill, fill and spill.
No, those words aren't meant to describe the twists and turns of an amusement park ride or action adventure show.
It's a phrase that's become a popular way to describe grouping together various plants in one container to create an instant wow factor.
The roots of America as a nation can be traced to May 29, 1780, and what happened in a clearing off Rocky River Road in eastern Lancaster County.
There is little doubt that what happened 230 years ago – when British Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton's Green Dragoons clashed with American Col. Abraham Buford's retreating Virginia Regiment – affected the outcome of the American Revolution, said Wayne Roberts, an archaeologist for the S.C. Department of Transportation.
If you were in downtown Lancaster on Feb. 6, 1999, you probably haven't forgotten an event significant to local history.
That day, the skeleton of a once-stately Lancaster home began a slow ride from North White Street to its new home on Craig Farm Road.
Just over a year later, on May 21, 2000, the beautifully restored and enhanced home was dedicated by former Gov. Jim Hodges as Kilburnie, the Inn at Craig Farm.
Time does fly.
At 3 p.m., May 23, Carolina Brass will return to the lawns of Kilburnie, the Inn at Craig Farm, for a special anniversary concert, "Carolina Brass on Broadway."
The group performed at the Kilburnie dedication 10 years ago.
As Sammie Lathan dives into a plate loaded down with grits, scrambled eggs, salty strips of bacon and white toast slathered in grape jelly, it's easy to see why JoMars Family Restaurant has such a devoted clientele.
Lathan, a Lancaster resident, stops by the restaurant for some of his home-cooked favorites at least once a week.
Today, Lathan pulled up a seat near the famed "Fatback Hotbar" along with his friend, Charles Jones.
Would you like to nominate a deserving mother for South Carolina Mother of the Year?
The S.C. Mother of the Year Search Committee. a non-profit organization that promotes spiritual and moral values in families, is now accepting nominations for S.C. Mother of the Year for 2011.
The "singer's singer" whose voice has touched millions of lives around the world is coming to Lancaster.
Award winning gospel singer Cynthia Clawson will perform at 11 a.m. Sunday at First Baptist Church.
"I think being considered a 'singer's singer' means 'someone can sing for me and I won't be critical,'" said Clawson, laughing. "As singers, we listen so critically to how others do it. I think it means I can just relax and enjoy when she sings, or at least I hope that's what it means."
Seven minutes.
That's how long it took Wednesday night for the members of First Presbyterian Church to light 175 candles to celebrate its 175th anniversary.
But those previous 175 years wouldn't be the issue for the church's original founders, said Dr. Shane Owens, First Presbyterian pastor.
Nor would those 175 points of light that illuminated its church sanctuary, along with the 10 stained glass windows Wednesday night.
OK, grillmasters everywhere, this one is for you. I feel your pain.
You have already looked through every Mother's Day card on the rack, searching for the one that's perfect for the woman who brought you into the world or for the mother of your children.
To make matters worse, your bankroll is far from "swole," which makes it even harder to make her queen for the day.
The only thing you find stuck in the pockets of the pair of dress shorts you just pulled out of the drawer for the first time this spring is lint.
Give mom a gift to remember
The key to making Mother's Day special is to make it unforgettable. You don't have to spent a lot of money to do that, either.
Here are a few great Mother's Day gift ideas to think about:
– Make a gift in her name – If mom has a favorite cause, consider making a charitable donation in honor. Just make sure the organization reflects her personality. Some local charities to consider include the American Red Cross, Christian Services, Family Promise of Lancaster, HOPE in Lancaster and Pregnancy Care Center.
You may want to catch a little nap Saturday afternoon.
That way, you can stay up a little later to watch the post-race celebration in Victory Lane at Darlington Raceway.
Those festivities might not include your favorite NASCAR driver, but they will include a familiar face.
Former Lancaster High School homecoming queen Paige Duke is one of three Miss Sprint Cups for 2010. The lineup includes Duke, Amanda Wright of York, Maine, and Monica Palumbo of Charlotte.
If you drive along Plantation Road from time to time, you have probably noticed the lush, shady yards.
One of them, the home of Mack and Sara Eddins (at the corner of Plantation Road and Malvern Lane), is quite eye-catching this time of year and really stands out.
Masses of Knockout rose bushes covered with bright blooms, accompanied by red and yellow barberry bushes, create one of the prettiest corners in Forest Hills.
The Lancaster Council of Garden Clubs agrees, and has designated the Eddins' yard as April Yard of the Month.
The impact of Lancaster's First Presbyterian Church in the community can be measured by a casual stroll through the Old Presbyterian Church cemetery on West Gay St.
"You can walk among the graves there and feel the presence of old Lancasterville," said local historian Lindsay Pettus.
The graves of Lancaster's first mayor, Andrew Mayer, can be found there, along with two former editors of the Lancaster Ledger, which started in 1852.
You don't have to go to a veterinarian to get your dog or cat vaccinated for rabies. The shots are coming to you.
Starting April 1, Faulkner Animal Hospital has scheduled 11 rabies clinics throughout the county for six weeks. cost is $5 per shot and yearly shots for cats and dogs are $16 each. For details, call 286-8131.
The purpose of the vaccinations is to protect humans and pets from exposure to rabies when there is contact between a pet and wildlife, including bats, foxes, raccoons and skunks.
As of noon Friday, about $140,000 had been raised for the 2010 Relay For Life.
Donna Parsons, Relay co-chair, hopes the $215,000 goal will be reached.
Last year's Relay raised $256,407 to help fund American Cancer Society cancer research and cancer awareness and wellness programs.
While a tough economic climate has made for a challenging year, Parsons said the local Relay For Life continues to grow and is up to an all-time high 63 teams.
Almost three years ago, stones were placed in each Sunday school classroom at St. Luke United Methodist Church.
Its members were asked to write prayer requests on each one and how they could each be used to make a dream of a "new" sanctuary into a reality.
When the St. Luke sanctuary renovations were started in October 2009, those stones were literally poured into the foundation.
Consecrated on Sunday, the sanctuary is indeed a house of worship built on the prayers of its people, said the Rev. Kyle Randle.
There's a Relay For Life sign leaning on the desk just outside Room 105 at Buford Elementary School.
When the new school first opened, Room 105 was a teacher's lounge. Trust me, I know, having spent my share of time in it assisting teachers while fulfilling the volunteer hours requirement for Discovery School.
But now, the Bunn coffee maker, refrigerator and miscellaneous teacher supplies are gone.
If you're looking for a few bargains, a great place and time to find them is early Saturday at the Family Promise yard sale.
It begins at 6 a.m. in the old Harris Teeter parking lot at 415 W. Meeting St., across from Crawford Funeral Home.
Family Promise volunteer Hugh Mobley said proceeds from the yard sale will go directly to help local homeless families get back on their feet.
A youth group from The Church of the Good Shepherd United Methodist Church will volunteer in July at Give Kids The World Village in July, a summer camp for kids with terminal illnesses in Kissimmee, Fla.
Located on 70 acres, it has more than 140 villas and an enchanted castle, along with other amenities that are available to those with special needs who stay there.
Give Kids The World gets the names of the kids from other organizations and flies them in for a week.

Useless goalkeeping same old tippy tappy stuff around the penalty area - we've seen it all before and we'll see it all again I'm sure.
The only saving grace was Cazorla who once again showed his class. Unfortunately our forwards were invisible and Gervinho is one of the most frustrating players I've ever watched.
Here's the report:
Norwich recorded a deserved first Barclays Premier League win under new manager Chris Hughton as lacklustre Arsenal were beaten 1-0 at Carrow Road.
The Gunners, who included England midfielder Jack Wilshere in the squad after more than a year out with injury, were second best all afternoon as Grant Holt's scrambled effort after 20 minutes following a mistake by goalkeeper Vito Mannone proved enough for all three points to move the hosts out of the relegation zone.
Arsenal, who have now lost two of their past three league games, were well below the usual fluent best and created very few openings as for once the Premier League's second worst defence held firm.
Norwich started brightly as winger Anthony Pilkington, watched by Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni, fired a 20-yard effort wide.
At the other end, German forward Lukas Podolski cut in from the left and flashed a shot across the face of John Ruddy's goal.
Norwich did not resemble a team which had shipped 17 goals in their previous seven games, and looked much more of an attacking threat with Wes Hoolahan tucked in behind Holt.
The Canaries were in front in the 20th minute.
Norway midfielder Alex Tettey let fly from 25 yards across a skiddy surface and Mannone - again deputising for injured number one Wojciech Szczesny - parried the ball back out into the six-yard box, where Holt was quickest to react ahead of Per Mertesacker and stab home.
Arsenal had also fallen behind at West Ham last time out, and soon went on the offensive again.
Bradley Johnson, who was on Arsenal's books as a youngster, was cautioned for a late challenge on Santi Cazorla.
There was, though, panic in the visitors' box again when Holt drew Mannone out to the touchline and hooked the ball back across goal, where Carl Jenkinson hacked it clear as Pilkington was set to shoot at an unguarded net.
Despite all of their possession, Arsenal lacked a killer pass in the final third, and Norwich looked dangerous on the counter-attack.
Centre-back Michael Turner planted a free header wide after a late run into the six-yard box from a corner.
At the other end, Gervinho was picked out by an angled free-kick from Mikel Arteta, but completely missed the ball - much to the delight of the home crowd.
Arsenal pressed Norwich back at the start of the second half, but again looked suspect from balls into their own area as Javier Garrido's floated cross from the left just eluded Holt at the far post.
The Gunners broke quickly on 51 minutes with Jenkinson's cross palmed away by Ruddy - but Olivier Giroud could only hook the loose ball wide.
Hoolahan thought he had sprung the offside trap as he darted through to net from Johnson's pass - but despite claims he could not hear the whistle, the Irishman was quickly shown a yellow card by referee Lee Probert.
As the hour mark passed Norwich continued to press with Holt again asking questions of the Gunners' defence.
When Arsenal did break, Gervinho's header lacked any pace after a clever flick-on by Giroud.
Wenger had seen enough and on 65 minutes Podolski was replaced by England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Turner went through the back of Giroud to concede a free-kick some 22 yards out, just right of centre. Cazorla curled his effort around the wall, but it lacked enough pace to test Ruddy.
Oxlade-Chamberlain picked up what looked like a hip problem, and had to be replaced by Andrey Arshavin after less than 10 minutes.
Norwich made a change for the final 12 minutes when winger Elliott Bennett was replaced by Robert Snodgrass, fit again after missing Scotland's World Cup qualifiers because of an ankle problem.
Holt capitalised on a slip by Thomas Vermaelen on the half-way line to rush clear - only to then float a tame chip at the keeper with Hoolahan unmarked to his left.
Arsenal made their final change with eight minutes left when 17-year-old German Serge Gnabry replaced Aaron Ramsey.
Arteta's low strike was held by Ruddy as Norwich closed out a hard-earned first league win through five minutes of added time.

You may recall that I did a review not too long ago regarding Stonewear Designs–a clothing company that designs hiking, fitness, yoga and travel clothing for women. I snagged some of their Meridian yoga capris on sale and then splurged on one of their Kaia halter tops. And can I just say that I am in love? Truly.
Here I am in the backyard, doing yoga with the kids and sporting my new Stonewear finds….thanks Little Man for playing photographer!
The fit, the support, the look….it's all perfect. I applied to be an ambassador for Stonewear Designs and would be honored to represent a company that I wholeheartedly love. Part of the application process is using social media to show support for the applicants. If you support me as a good choice as an ambassador, please give me a shout out through Stonewears's twitter or fb pages:
Let them know that Lauren (Hiking Mama) sent you. And even if you don't feel up to it, or I don't get chosen, I will still continue to support this great clothing company and encourage you to check 'em out. Their apparel does not disappoint. I'm just so glad that I have finally found great clothing to support my active lifestyle!

Real Time Business with Cisco Unified Data Center for SAP Solutions
If you have deployed a SAP solutions, chances are that you have also Cisco network solutions in your company. But do you realize that you can get much more out of the presence of the two vendors in your company? And if you run also solutions either from EMC and NetApp you are now literally seating on a golden opportunity. October 9th webcast is your chance to know more.
Cisco and SAP are very natural partners – Both companies are very interested in providing what business customers are increasingly eager to get out of an intelligent infrastructure ready for cloud, big data , and data analytics : Improve personal productivity, increase process visibility, expand customer insight, manage risks and provide security, with the promise of achieving unprecedented level of business agility, financial efficiency and IT simplification.
Over the past years , SAP introduced a new concept with SAP HANA, "a game changer in Memory platform, allowing customers to run the business differently thanks to an easy , near real-time access to a vast amount of data" to quote Ryan Veerubhotla, SAP AG , VP Ecosystem and channels – If you haven't already seen this educative , easy to understand video, check out . A great way to see how data in motion become data in action!
Truth is ..for a solution such a SAP HANA to be very successful , it requires an outstanding infrastructure – And that's where the Cisco Unified Data Center plays a central role –
Whether we talk about Unified Computing Systems, Unified Fabric or Unified management including Intelligent Automation, the Data Center portfolio of solutions that Cisco can deploy for a SAP user makes a tremendous difference in terms of ease of deployment, ease of management , cost reduction and containment and of course performances. (a quick reminder that Cisco UCS broke in less than 3 years + 70 world-record benchmarks including this week a TPC-C benchmark)
Initially a long standing network partner (Unified Fabric), Cisco brought on the table another long standing relationship with the acquisition of intelligent automation (part of Unified Management) developed in close partnership with SAP – The fruitition of this intense collaboration has be announced recently with Cisco Intelligent Automation now on SAP price list , and the development of SAP Hana Bridge (SAP IT Process Automation by Cisco – Dialog with SAP Stephen Spears and Cisco Flint Brenton)
The Cisco SAP partnership moved definitely to a next level with the huge success of Unified Computing Systems, which is really providing a virtualized computing environment where SAP HANA can be deployed at best , fulfilling all the promises of this innovative technology and concept .(Can SAP HANA on the Cisco UCS server platform think faster than you do ? Almost!!)
Add on this recipe for success, the unique features developed by Cisco EMC alliance on one hand, and by Cisco NetApp collaboration on the other hand , and you end up with the most powerful business environments that a company can dream of .
So interested ? Intrigued ? I invite you to join us on October 9th, 9:00 am PST for a in-depth conversation between Cisco and SAP , with the participation of EMC and NetApp.

I'm trying to figure out what the best way to describe someone who works with/on WordPress. Some people use WordPresser but that seems a little bit clunky for me. It's easy to say WordPress developer, designer, etc but if you wanted to talk about how to talk about lots of people who work on WordPress what would be the best way for form the correct word?
Example of usage: "he was the best WordPresser of them all" etc.
I've been thinking it might be appropriate to formulate it like you would a person of a specific nationality - i.e. Italian, or whatever. But I'm not sure what would be right, both grammatically and to make sure it doesn't sound clunky.

Veggie Garden
For years gardening is my hobby; however, this is the first year I will grow my own veggies. It took me two months to build my raised beds garden. I started with digging the grass out, building boxes, applying crashed granite to walking paths, filling boxes with natural soil from the natural nursery in town. I cannot wait for my first harvest!
Before & After Garden Huge (Half Acre Plus ) Organic Garden Other Yard Step by Step Project
2 of 19: 7 yards of crashed granite, some of it I used for walking paths in the veggie garden, some in other areas of my back yard
4 of 19: Before digging out the grass, I moved boxes around to find the right layout, than I marked the garden area and started to remove the grass
Comments / Questions
Love the garden very nice
You put so much work into this veggie garden, you should also submit this in the Lawn Wars TV Show contest. Go to the Yard Contests tab to get started. Good Luck!
