Special to the News
In light of all the recent discussion about the revised plans for waterfront development by the Port of Hood River, I felt it important to remind the Port officials to consider the new sport of kiteboarding in their future plans.
On Sunday afternoon of the Memorial Day weekend I counted roughly 50 inflated kites either in the air or on the beach between the Hook and the Hood River Marina.
It is clear that kiteboarding is here to stay and will continue to gain popularity much like windsurfing did in the mid 1980s.
While restricting the kites to the sand spit was acceptable over the past few years, the growing number of kiteboarders is quickly outgrowing (and will certainly surpass) the capacity of this limited area.
High river levels on that weekend made the sand bar practically nonexistent, and there was clearly not enough space for all the kites. It seemed especially difficult for the kiteboarding schools (who pay to use this area) to find enough space to safely carry out their lessons. Kiteboarding collisions in overcrowded conditions now pose a greater threat than conflicts between kiteboarders and windsurfers.
It is obvious that the kiteboarders need more space on the Hood River waterfront. It is also interesting to note that due to the light winds on Sunday of Memorial weekend, there were only about 10 windsurfers on the water during the same time period. The area directly in front of the Event Site was relatively vacant.
I would propose that a new windsurfing park be built on Lot #6 where kiteboarding is not allowed. This would place the windsurfers who choose to sail there safely upwind of the kiteboarders. The current Event Site could then become a multi-use park for both kiteboarding and windsurfing while the sand spit would remain a kite only site.
This would allow more advanced kiteboarders to use the Event Site on light wind days when there are few windsurfers and the spit is crowded with novice kiters.
The Event Site would also remain open to the large number of windsurfers who don't object to sailing among the kites on the windier days when there would be fewer kites on the water.
There have been very few conflicts between the windsurfers and kiteboarders at other launches (Stevenson, Hatchery, Rowena, Rufus, Roosevelt), so it is clear that a multi-use park can work. This should also increase revenue for the Port due to the additional access fees from the kiteboarders on the light wind days when windsurfing turnout is low.
It is hard to justify additional hotels or condos along the waterfront when the reduced river access will turn away the very tourists these accomodations are hoping to attract.

Canadian Doctor Invents a Cure Then Gets the Dizzease(sic)
On Aug 16th, 2014 I awoke feeling a little bit off. At first I wasn't sure what was going on but I felt a little sick to my stomach and slightly dizzy. I turned to my left and sat up and my world started to turn, slowly at first. I lay back down immediately fearing I would fall and it all got a lot worse. The room spun quickly and I had trouble seeing. Just as I was starting to … Read More

The West Bengal filmmaker focused his 25th film on the income-generating cultivation of lac resin (shellac) in Purulia district. "India should go for a green economy," he says.
There was a tradition of Lac culture in Manbhum areas, which includes the present Purulia district. Dire poverty and lack of governmental initiatives gradually eradicated this high -ielding production from its natural habitat. Finally, the cultivation has been reintroduced in Purulia after a long period. It estimates that at least 20,000 families living below the poverty line will benefit from this endeavour.
By Samik Gupta
Purulia is a prime district of West Bengal endowed with vast natural resources and considerable floral diversity. The coexistence of ancient Indian tribes with Mother Nature makes Purulia a notable biosphere, yet to be recognized. Paradoxically, the district has been neglected and deprived for several decades, causing the inhabitants delineate from the mainstream civilization. Lack of attention to the natural occurrence of potential diverse resource base and its open market coupled with traditional knowledge of the local inhabitants has put the district in a precarious situation.
The newly formed State government has taken strong initiatives to incorporate the under developed, socio- economically dry district to the sphere of rapid development. The State Forest Department has undertaken a unique endeavor to disseminate the Lac cultivation throughout the district as it offers plenty of Lac hosting tree species in free range. The project has been launched by the State Forest Department with the financial assistance of "Paschimanchal Unnayan Parshad", West Bengal.
Lac is the raw material for several industries like gala seal, polishing, dye and even skin cosmetic and contemporary jewellery to some extent. Commercial Lac is produced through different series of procedures, which is a non-toxic biotic product and free from any side effects. Lac is a resinous exudation from the body of female scale insect. Tree species like Palash (Butea monosperma), Kusum (Scleichera oleosa) and Kul (Ziziphus mauritiana) are considered the suitable host plants for Lac insects in India. Purulia is an ideal natural habitat of the host tree species for its soil, weather and climatic factors. Such abundance of Kusum and Palash is hardly seen in any other district of West Bengal. The district may claim its richest extremity through proper utilization of resources.
The State Forest Department with the financial assistance of "Paschimanchal Unnayan Parshad" has initiated Lac cultivation in 11 blocks and 33 moujhas of the Purulia district. Considering all the aspects the south- west circle of State Forest department has primarily assigned three Divisions to spread the project for the welfare of the financial backward people. By a rough estimation, there is a sporadic occurrence of around 21 lakh Palash, 60 thousand Kusum and 20 thousand Ber trees in different free range and private lands in this particular bio- geographic area of the state. The collective seedlac holding capacity of these plants is about 25 thousand quintal per annum and having a production capacity of 5 to 8 times of shellac quantity. According to some aspiring farmers, the help of applied science can trigger the Lac productivity up to 10 times.
The first phase of the project started on 9 to 16th July of 2011 with the active initiation of the West Bengal State Forest Department. The beneficiaries selected amongst the local farmers and given 5 Kilograms of shellac each. In addition to that, the government also provided necessary technical assistance, advices and pesticides as required time to time. Lac insect (Kerria lac or Laccifer lacca) has two distinct strains. The strain inoculated here is 'Kusumi', which mainly grows –up in Kusum tree.
In the second phase the seedlac distribution and inoculation was conducted on 24th Oct to 4th Nov. The strain inoculated this time known as Rangeeni, which grows on host plants other than Kusum. 'Palash' has been selected for inoculation in this phase. 1 kilogram of shellac per 'Palash' tree has been distributed to the beneficiaries.
Farmers are gaining interests in Lac cultivation considering higher profitability. Interestingly, Lac cultivation is not an introductory activity in Purulia. History depicts the tradition of Lac culture in Manbhum areas, which includes the present Purulia district. Dire poverty and lack of governmental initiatives gradually eradicated this high yielding 'cash crop' production from its natural habitat. Finally, with the sincere effort of the present State government, Lac cultivation has been reintroduced in Purulia. It is estimated, that at least 20 thousand families living Below Poverty Line will be benefitted from this newly introduced Lac cultivation in Purulia district.
Collectively 13,198 plants have been inoculated so far, in two phases. 16,226 kilograms shellac been used as seed and the total number of beneficiaries are 3258 families. the forest department has already planned to involve 5000 more beneficiaries in the next year. An enormous enthusiasm has been observed among the local farmers and the forest staffs to make the effort successful, which can be sustained. It is difficult to assume that a drastic change in the socio-economic pattern of the district might reveal through this effort.
This is worthwhile to mention, there is heavy demand of lac at least in 170 countries of the world. But in strange paradox, such a vast international market has been fed by few countries; while India and Thailand appears to be the most potential producers. On the other hand, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and West Bengal are the only lac producing states considering its natural resource base and agro-climatic condition. Despite few negligible reports, there are no such areas in the country which can produce lac in bulk quantity. In west Bengal, it is only possible within the district of Purulia.
The main advantage of lac production is of an internationally open market. So that the farmers need not think of it but to concentrate on higher productivity and it's scientific management and care. Atleast 70 small and big lac processing unit are already exists in Purulia, having unlimited procurement capacity. Presently these units are continuing their business by procuring the raw meterials from Jharkhand, as lac cultivation has been eradicated from Purulia for last few decades. Consequently in spite of potentiality, Purulia couldn't get reach of it due to lack of cultivation practice which is mainly derived from dire poverty and lack of governmental initiative. Most farmers do not have capacity to spend few penny's for buying shellacs!
In contrary, this can be assumed that if lac cultivation spreads on all the host trees in Purulia may not reach to the procurement capacity of the existing processing units. No one be surprised if lac cultivation appears to be the key-hold factor in changing the socio-economic status of Purulia, in near future.

All of us, whether or not we live Parkinson's, are faced each day with a barrage of headlines about what might help or harm our health.
- Does this new drug/therapy/compound help Parkinson's?
- Is this new drug a cure?
- When will this new breakthrough be available?
The Good News
Scientists all over the world are conducting research into Parkinson's. They are publishing their work in scientific journals and discussing it at meetings, and the media is reporting on it. This means that people touched by Parkinson's disease have the chance to access the latest information about the disease online. According to this weekend's edition of the New York Times, which references studies by the Pew Research Center, people who aren't connected to the Internet may actually be missing out on valuable health-related information!
The Bad and the Ugly
Not all sources report responsibly to you. Whether a source uses a sensationalistic headline, or leaves out important facts, they don't always tell the real story. For example, a story might report on deep brain stimulation as a helpful treatment, without communicating that the surgery does not stop disease progression. Another might report that smoking is associated with a lesser risk of developing Parkinson's, without telling you that picking up the habit isn't a good idea because more research is needed to understand why.
What Does It Mean?
So if you're reading these headlines at home, how do you discern between fact and fiction?
At PDF, part of our job is making sure you have quality information. One initiative we developed last year was to include a "What Does it Mean?" component to the 50 or so scientific studies we cover each year. At the end of each report we ask "What Does it Mean?" and with the help of medical reviewers, science writers and research staff, we give you our best answer.
Sometimes we tell you that a drug could be available in the next five years. Other times, we let you know that a study was unsuccessful but is valuable for our understanding of Parkinson's overall. Either way, we try to tell you the truth about how the science might impact your life with PD.
Other Strategies
Here are a few other strategies for assessing health information you find online:
- Ask Your Doctor: If you are seeing a Parkinson's specialist, they should be very aware of the latest research and be able to explain how it applies to you.
- Evaluate Your Source: Where are you finding your information? Pay attention to who is publishing the information and when they published it. A few years ago, PDF published this article in our newsletter, with tips for evaluating whether a certain website is trustworthy. The Internet has changed, but these tips still apply.
- Call our HelpLine: PDF's HelpLine is available at (800) 457-6676 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com from Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM to answer your specific questions about PD or specific news items you read.
- Watch Our PD ExpertBriefings: PDF's online seminars, including this year's live series and more than 30 recorded seminars, are led by some of the most trusted experts in the field. Need information on exercise? Find it here. Want to know about experimental medications? We have that too.
What About You?
What's your impression of Parkinson's science in the media? Do you find reporting responsible? Are you confused by the headlines or do you find them clear?
What can PDF to bring you the best information about Parkinson's disease and the latest scientific findings?

See the Windows 4.8 features page to see what's new, viewtopic.php?f=10&t=586
One change with the Linux edition, modules downloaded with the Download Manager will install into the User's home folder. This is to make things easier for the user and also us. Otherwise, we would have to have the user enter their password with each download session, which could get tedious. Dealing with permissions in Linux adds to the complexity of the code, also. The most issues we have with the Linux edition is dealing with permissions. Many users do not understand them.
In fact, if we can get by with it in the Ubuntu Software Center, we may try placing all modules under the users home folder as we did a couple versions back. This will make things simpler for all.
If you have any crashes or issues with this beta, send us the report and we will fix them as we get time.

Oceanport, N.J. – Vicki
Schowe's Pennsylvania homebred Sloane Ranger courageously
rallied between horses in the stretch to capture the $52,000 allowance/optional
claiming feature by a half-length at Monmouth
Park on Friday afternoon.
Ridden by Keibar Coa and getting from nine to seven
pounds from the rest of the field, Sloane Ranger covered the six furlongs in 1:09
on a fast track and returned $12.20, $5.80 and $4. Escrow Kid completed the $98.20
exacta and paid $8.60 and $4.20. It was
another half-length back to Golddigger's Boy, who paid $3 to show. Odds-on
favorite Travelin Man failed to fire inside the eighth pole and finished
"I let the other horse (Escrow Kid) go out and I stayed
behind the speed," said Coa, who rode three winners on the card. "At the quarter-pole, the other horse was
trying to get out a little bit and I stayed outside of him. Right when I asked
him, my horse responded and gave me a good run."
Friday's score was the sixth in 26 starts for Sloane
Ranger, a 6-year-old gelding by Parker's Storm from the You and I mare
Live racing continues at Monmouth on Saturday, June 9 –
gates open at 11:00 a.m. and the first simulcast race on the full Belmont
Stakes Day card is at 11:35 a.m. Post time at Monmouth is 12:45p.m.

I'm in the Denver airport now, where they have no WiFi at all. Not even the pay-as-you-go kind. But I have this magic thingy that accesses the cell phone waves so here I am. Ha! Actually I've never seen the movie Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (referenced in the title). But I was on TV in Denver once. Never got a tape of that one, though. So I have no idea what it looked like. I was here last year when I did some speaking gigs in Boulder. That was fun. Hey Boulder! Have me out there again!
I wrote about the Boulder gigs in my new book. And speaking of that self-same new book, I just got a printed copy of it. Scary! This is definitely the most terrifying book I've written yet. To me, at least. Anyway, this means the books are now printed up, so they could start making their way into stores any time. The official release date is February 14th (it's the perfect Valentine's Day gift). But the way publishing works is that those release dates are just approximates.
I mentioned the death of Patrick McGoohan in my last post. I wanted to mention another important passing in this one. Dave Day, electric banjo player of The Monks passed away on January 10, 2009. The full story is here. The Monks invented punk rock ten years ahead of time with their 1966 LP Black Monk Time, released only in Germany at the time. The CD version is, fortunately, now available for all to hear. So go get yours today.
The Monks record was just a rumor to me for years. I'd read about it. But copies never showed up anywhere. Or when they did they cost several hundred dollars. I finally heard the CD in the mid-nineties and it was too intense for me to listen to it all the way through the first time I tried. And I played bass for Zero Defex! This was mighty massive pounding punkrock long before the word was even invented. In fact I'd say some of that record has yet to be matched by anyone for sheer in-your-face-ness. No wonder they broke up after just one album. If you ever needed proof that certain artists can see into the future, this record is it.
I just saw a really great documentary about the band called Transatlantic Feedback. You might be able to get it through The Monks official website. Unfortunately the producers of the film have been removing videos of The Monks from YouTube. This is an extraordinarily silly move on their part because those videos would have promoted their movie like nothing else possibly could have. I'd love to have linked to one here, but now I can't. Sorry.
I'm on my way to Dallas to visit my dad there. Nobody e-mailed me from the area, so I guess I won't be visiting any Zen centers while I'm there. I wonder if there even are any. I know the Sokka Gakkai people have a place in town. You can read in my new book about how I discovered that following my mother's death in the Dallas area in 2007 (look how many plugs I'm getting in today!). I'll be back in Santa Monica by Saturday, though, for those brave souls who may want to come do some zazen.
My flight's boarding soon. I'll report back from Dallas later. See ya!
Look! I found a video of The Monks that escaped the purge...

by Tom Utescher
For Chestnut Hill resident Katie Casebeer, it was love at first stroke.
With no background or family history in the sport of rowing, she accompanied a friend to a beginners' crew camp the summer before she entered Mount St. Joseph Academy as a freshman.
What began as something of a lark quickly became a life-changing endeavor, and Casebeer has accepted a scholarship to continue her crew career on the Charles River, racing for Boston College.
A svelte 5'11", Casebeer spent her sophomore and junior seasons as a member of the Mount's lightweight eight, two-time champions at both the Stotesbury Cup Regatta and the Scholastic Rowing Association America Championships. Her boat was also the top single-school competitor at the 2010 U.S. Rowing Youth National Championships, taking the bronze medal behind two club crews.
This year she has moved into the Magic's varsity eight, which dominated the fall racing scene in the Philadelphia region. The Mounties also placed fourth at the Head of the Charles Regatta, where for the second year in a row they were the top true high school crew.
"Katie's very, very smooth and very, very good technically," said the Mount's Mike McKenna, who coached her in both the lightweight and varsity boats. "She's very consistent and she'll never do anything to slow a boat down. There are bigger and stronger kids out there, but if they apply those forces in the wrong direction, that doesn't help the boat. Katie will always keep it moving in the right direction."
Casebeer considered Penn, Brown, and George Washington University while choosing a college, but nothing could displace the feeling engendered by her first race at the Head of the Charles as a tenth grader.
"I knew I wanted to go to school and continue my crew career in Boston," she said. "When I was on the campus at BC, I knew it was the perfect school for me; it was always my number one."
She officially committed to becoming an Eagles oarswoman at the start of the early signing period last November. Coach McKenna knew why BC and many other colleges were interested in her.
"I think they liked her size and her attitude," he observed. "She's the type of kid you want to have in your program. Whatever boat you put her in, you know she's going to help it. She's a very hard worker, doesn't miss a practice – a top-notch kid."
Casebeer said that on her college visits "They knew the reputation of Mount crew, and I think from talking to me they got a sense of the love I have for rowing."
Her parents played sports in high school and still engage in various fitness activities, but no one in the family had a rowing background.
Thinking back to that seminal summer crew camp in 2007, she related, "It started out as just something to do in the summer. From the first day I loved it, and I knew that this was the sport I wanted to do."
She explained, "I feel like the team aspect of rowing is so different from other team sports, because you depend so much on the other girls in the boat with you. What always kept me going through the really hard practices and races was knowing that I was doing it for the other girls."
In her freshman season in the spring of 2008, Casebeer earned the stroke seat in the Mount freshman eight that won the bronze medal at the Stotesbury. Already tall but naturally slender, she moved on to the varsity level and spent two years in the Magic's light eight, helping add to the national reputation already established by the MSJ lightweights. As she matured and gained some muscle (not easy for her but accomplished with the help of a personal trainer), it became apparent that it would be difficult to meet the 130 lb. limit after her junior year, and she moved into the open-weight varsity eight.
The two crews customarily train side-by-side at practice, and McKenna noted "They row virtually identically, so there was no change of style for her coming from the lightweights. She's tall enough so that there was no need to try and stretch out her stroke to make her longer in the water. If we hadn't had so many strong seniors in the class ahead of her, she might have been a candidate [for the V-8] last year as a junior."
The responsibilities of being a member of the Mount flagship are mitigated somewhat by not having to keep such a sharp eye on the scale.
"Without having to stay under that weight limit I don't have the same restrictions on what I eat," Casebeer explained. "I'm a big fan of peanut butter, and I couldn't eat that very much as a lightweight. I still have healthy eating habits, but now I don't have to be so strict about portion control."
On the academic side, she says she's interested in the field of psychology, and also mentions the distinguished education department at Boston College as one of the school's attractions. An observer of human nature, she has pondered how she developed her own special interests, and how different they are from those of her younger sister Lily, an eighth-grader at Springside School.
"We're very different; she's much more of an artistic type of person," the MSJ athlete said. "She's not nearly as competitive as I am, and it's nice that we each have our own things we really enjoy."
She reflected, "I wasn't really a competitive type of person before I started rowing, and I loved how it changed me already in my freshman year. I know I changed for the better by being exposed to crew. I can see how the work ethic and the qualities of commitment and dedication I've developed through rowing have carried over into other parts of my life."

HONOLULU - Trailing by two with 14 seconds to go, UC Santa Barbara's Nicole Nesbit picked up a screen from Sweets Underwood, drove up the right side and sunk what would be the game-winning basket to propel the Gauchos to a 51-50 victory over Hawai'i on Saturday evening in the Stan Sherrif Center.
The UCSB victory marked firsts for both programs. The Gauchos secured their first come-from-behind win of the year while the Rainbow Wahine dropped their first Big West home game this season.
With the win, UCSB now stands at 8-11 on the season and 4-3 in Big West games. The Rainbow Wahine are now 9-10 overall and 5-3 in league games. Seven games into league play; UCSB currently is in a three-way tie for fourth-place with Long Beach State and Cal Poly.
"This is a huge win for our team, I am not going to lie," head coach Carlene Mitchell said. "This was a tough two-game road stretch, and it was great to win here in a hostile environment, with their great fan support. To find a way to pull this out, it's a great win and a great way to go home."
Junior Melissa Zornig's 15 points and four assists led the Gauchos. She went 7-for-10 from the field. Underwood, meanwhile, finished with 13 points and four rebounds. Senior Kirsten Tilleman led the Gauchos with nine boards and two blocks. Nesbit finished with nine points.
UCSB shot 47.8% from the field (22-of-46), which marks their best performance thus far in Big West play.
Nesbit had opened the game with a jumper on the first possession to ignite an 11-2 Gaucho run to start the game. Hawai'i was able to counter with a 12-2 run of its own to take its first lead of the game at 14-13 with 11:07 on the clock prompting a UCSB timeout.
The Gauchos regained the lead out of the break with a 5-0 run. The Rainbow Wahine continued to bite at UCSB's heels and with 4:41 left in the half, Marissa Wimbley sunk a three-pointer to once again regain Hawai'i's advantage, 22-19. A pair of jumpers by sophomore Madeline Campbell and senior Angelei Aguire momentarily pushed the Gauchos ahead, but another three by Wimbley with 56 seconds to go gave Hawai'i the 25-23 edge heading into the locker rooms.
While the Gauchos made six of their first eight field goal attempts in the opening minutes of the game, their offense significantly cooled as they made just 4-of-13 to end the half. UCSB did post a 47.6% field goal percentage in the opening stanza while limiting Hawai'i to just 10-of-30 (33.3%).
The Rainbow Wahine built to their biggest lead of the game at 35-29 with 12:34 to go in the second half, but the Gauchos were able to keep the score tight and with 7:42 on the clock, Tilleman hit a jumper to give UCSB its first lead of the half, 39-38.
The seesaw battle continued into the waning minutes of the game as the teams traded the lead. Hawai'i got its final lead – 50-49 – with 1:34 on the clock off of a lay-up by Vicky Tagalicod.
On a Rainbow Wahine possession, Tilleman stole the ball and quickly called a timeout with 43.1 seconds remaining. Out of the timeout, Nesbit shot a long two that hit the rim, but Tilleman scrambled for the rebound and was fouled in the process. The senior's free-throw rimmed out, but she was once again there to grab the rebound. She dished the ball to Nesbit, who drove to the basket for the winning lay-up.
"I saw a lot of great things after Northridge and even though we beat them handily, it's still nice to see the team come together and hold each other accountable," Mitchell said. "They understand how good we can be and they are really starting to buy into that as the season progresses."
Kamilah Martin led Hawai'i with 14 points and seven rebounds. Tagalicod provided 11 points off the bench for the Rainbow Wahine, who shot 40.7% (22-for-54) from the field and out-rebounded the Gauchos, 29-26.
"Hawai'i is a tough team, they made us play defense for 30 seconds," Nesbit said. "They put up some tough shots and they had a good inside presence. I think we did a pretty good job on the defensive end and we took care of business tonight."
The Gauchos will return home to the Thunderdome next week to host UC Riverside and Cal State Fullerton. The Highlanders will come to town on Thursday, Jan. 31 for a 7 p.m. match-up and the Titans will visit on Saturday, Feb. 2 at 2 p.m.
Both of next week's pairings will air live online at UCSBgauchos.com and Saturday's game will also air on KZSB 1290 AM, the Santa Barbara News-Press radio station. A live video broadcast of both games will also air on BigWest.tv.
Tickets for women's basketball are available at the Ticket Office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus, by calling 805-893-UCSB (8272) or online by clicking here.

I love AllSaints, which reminds me of England, where I long to return. I think I could be an AllSaints girl, stick straight hair falling into my eyes, my long limbs peeking out of well cut stovepipe skinny jeans and a painstakingly distressed leather jacket, looking like a postmodern and just woken up Amelia Earhart, ready to take flight yet once again.
Clothing is a passion, and all saints is often object and fixation point for my prodigious desire, price tag and weakness of the dollar falling away, pleasure for my eye being the only matter worth consideration. When I wear my AllSaints jacket, my mind focuses solely on my silhouette, slim and elegant, ready for the motorcycle or the gastropub, sheathing my curves and enhancing them further. I think less of my problems and more about how fucking good I look, and this gives me great relief. Yes the jacket cost an arm and a leg but my joy is worth that, is it not?
I love the flagship store in my beloved London, just a moment's walk from my other british landmark, Barbour. The dark interiors are a welcome escape from the surprisingly blazing hot brightness of the Columbia flower market, which rule my sundays in the city. The heavy metal hardware on AllSaints belts and bags are cold to the touch on those sunny mornings, as I hide my coffee from the sales people and feed my soul with all the beauty of London's east end.
I fell into a month long depression in Scotland, brought on by homesickness and the nonstop alcohol consumption that threatens to consume me whenever I step foot on this island. AllSaints jackets and jeans and boots and sweaters and bags and dresses and belts gave me hope, a serotonin boost that worked better than any sex drive dulling medication. I don't really go in for 'retail therapy'. You can't solve your life problems by shopping – but that be said – oh – AllSaints – j'adore.
They are not the type of company that gifts performers, but i don't care. I will always pay through the nose for their shit. It makes me feel good, whole, beautiful, sexy, tight, rock and roll – like Chrissy Hynde in her american-in-london black eyeliner best, and this, is priceless.

The Afterglow: A New Mom Support Group is a postpartum support group for new moms with babies under a year of age. New moms and their babies are invited to gather every Friday from 10:30 a.m. to noon to share their experiences and support one and other in the new days of parenting.
This special time is reserved for our classroom and kitchen. There will always be pots of coffee and tea going in the kitchen along with something yummy to eat.
During this group, participants will connect with other new moms as they learn about the "baby blues" and the emotional changes that can occur after childbirth; practice self-care and relaxation techniques, which are clinically proven to reduce stress and increase mom's well-being; and discuss the highs and lows of motherhood in a supportive space.
This group is facilitated by Emily McCay, a DONA-trained Postpartum Doula, who is experienced in leading new mom support groups and is connected within the birth and postpartum community to help direct new parents to support and resources.
Take a deep breath and join us!
Can't join us on Friday mornings? This group also offers a meeting time on Wednesdays from 2-3:30 p.m.
For more information, visit www.diaperfairy.net or call 502-708-1018.

This activity requires access to a sunny outdoor location and the use of ultraviolet light-sensitive beads. (View Less)
Materials Cost: $1 - $5 per group of students
This is an activity about the Doppler effect. Learners begin by simulating the noise made by a passing siren. After learning that the change in pitch results from movement, they investigate the definition of frequency, calculate change in frequency,... (View More) and learn how this applies to light and the study of astronomy. This lesson requires a Doppler ball, also referred to as a buzzer ball. (View Less)
In this lesson, students observe the surface of rotating potatoes to help them understand how astronomers can sometimes determine the shape of asteroids from variations in reflective brightness.

Denny Hamlin suffered a compression fracture in his lower spine during Sunday's last-lap crash at Fontana, Calif., his racing team said Monday.
Denny Hamlin suffered a compression fracture in his lower spine during Sunday's last-lap crash at Fontana, Calif., his racing team said Monday.
Joe Gibbs Racing disclosed the injury and said Hamlin was expected to be released soon from a Southern California hospital to return home. He has what is called an L1 compression fracture; essentially, the first vertebra in the lumbar section of his spine collapsed.
There was no immediate word on how long his recovery would take. JGR said he will be evaluated by Dr. Jerry Petty of Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates later this week.
Hamlin was airlifted from the track after a collision with Joey Logano on the penultimate turn sent him nearly head-on into the inside wall. Logano managed to finish third despite wrecking into the outside wall after hitting Hamlin, who spun Logano last week at Bristol and sparked a bitter post-race confrontation.
"He probably shouldn't have done what he did last week, so that's what he gets," Logano said Sunday after the race won by Kyle Busch.
Tony Stewart got into a post-race shoving match with Logano, who aggressively blocked Stewart out of a late restart. Hamlin's team expects Logano to be fined.
Hamlin got himself out of the car, but then slumped to the ground beside it before an ambulance arrived. He was eventually airlifted out due to traffic around the track. His girlfriend, Jordan Fish, tweeted afterward that Hamlin was "alert n awake, main concern is his back."
The injury is a bit more common in open-wheel racing, which has had three incidents of drivers breaking their backs since 2009.
Will Power broke several vertebrae in his lower back in a 2009 crash during practice at Sonoma and missed that event and the final three races of the season. He couldn't train for two months and wore a back brace for almost four months.
He also suffered a compression fracture of his fourth thoracic vertebrae in the 2011 season finale at Las Vegas but missed no racing as he healed during the offseason.
Justin Wilson fractured his fifth thoracic vertebra in 2011 and missed the last six races of the season. Wilson said he was in a back brace for 10 weeks.
In NASCAR, Sterling Marlin missed the last seven races of the 2002 season with a fractured vertebra in his neck.

Rams Fall in Skyline Quarterfinals
Maritime - 69, Farmingdale State - 57
Throggs Neck, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State men's basketball team fell, 69-57, last night at Maritime in the Skyline Conference quarterfinals.
Maritime (19-7) took control of the game early, opening up a 20-4 lead on their home floor midway through the first half. Farmingdale (13-13) was 0-for-9 from three-point range and attempted zero free-throws in the first half, compared to Maritime who shot 50% from behind the arc and 12-of-13 from the line. The Rams went into halftime trailing 40-18.
Farmingdale cut the deficit to 55-39 as junior guard Luis Charles (Brooklyn, N.Y./George Westinghouse) hit a three-pointer with 11:02 remaining. The Privateers answered with six straight points, opening up a 25 point lead, their largest of the game. The Rams closed on a 12-0 run over the final 3:01 but fell short in the quarterfinal round of the Skyline Playoffs.
Junior guard Shahee Martin (Queens, N.Y./West Hempstead) led Farmingdale State with 19 points and nine rebounds. Senior guard Terrence Howard (Queens, N.Y./Cardozo) scored 16 points, shooting 6-for-9 from the floor.
Maritime's junior forward Shamair Williams (Brooklyn, N.Y./Bishop Loughlin) had a game-high 21 points, while senior guard Andre Cooper (Baltimore, Md./Southwestern) scored 20 and grabbed 12 boards.
The Rams await word of a possible ECAC berth.

Yeah, Larry Fedora isn't impressed:
"What does [Franklin] say about the kids that were committed elsewhere and de-committed from their places to go to his place? That's my comment. What is his comment on those people? He's got someone in his recruiting class that did that very thing. He's saying those guys are not men of honor? Basically, he's saying he has got kids in his own recruiting class that are not men of honor. He said that, and I didn't."Hey, I love me a good pissing contest. My money is on the guy who is named after a hat, as opposed to an asshat. Blutarsky, as per usual, has a good take on that side of it.
My question is this: What about Franklin's actions suddenly make him some cult hero or actually make Vanderbilt a force to be reckoned with? Just talking to the casual Georgia (or SEC, for that matter) fan, you would think he signed a Top 10 class. He did...Top 10 in the conference. Yes, they were more competitive than normal, but they beat no team with a winning record. The closest they came was their game against Georgia.
Someone is going to have to explain to me why Franklin isn't Lane Kiffin, but with a lesser coaching pedigree. Is it because of his 'We aren't going to take it' attitude and the fact he wanted to fight Todd Grantham?
What I saw was a team that was undisciplined to the point of danger and that had the inability to close. Definitely sounds like Kiffin to me.

For the Diplomat Taxi Service, busy is good and busier is better, with everyone looking forward to the the busiest travel days of the year.
At Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, though, the holidays are just a tease before the high tourist season.
"Maybe after Thanksgiving," says a Diplomat driver named Velissier Georges. "Maybe after Christmas."
On a typical weekday, 14 flights and 1,500 passengers arrive at the Sarasota airport. On a typical flight, four or five people need taxis.
For many visitors, Megan Imes is the first person they meet in Florida.
"Where are we going today?" she chirps, grabbing a bag and leading them to a line of taxis. Minutes later they're on their way to Longboat Key or Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota or Bradenton, Venice or Englewood.
Imes, a ponytailed 32-year-old, is the "starter" for Diplomat. She wears a black-and-white uniform, like the cab drivers, but there are pink soles on her sneakers and a pink plastic spider clipped to the lanyard around her neck.
"My nickname is Pinkie," she says. "I always have something pink."
Imes prefers the bustle of the airport to the quiet of a dispatch office. She jokes with drivers, car rental clerks and airport employees.
"I like staying busy," she says. "I like holding fares. The more fares I hold, the more tips I make."
Creole chatting
Nine years ago, when Imes started at Diplomat, many of the drivers were Czech or Russian. Now most of them are Haitian.
At the Sarasota airport, while drivers wait an hour or more for a fare, they chat and joke in the Creole language of Haiti. They listen to music or surf the Internet on their smartphones.
"Sometimes I just sit in my car," says Georges. "I don't like to talk loud or talk a lot."
People at the airport often call him "George," even though that's his last name.
"Most people say 'George' is easier," he says, laughing, "but I feel Velissier is a little lighter."
For more than 20 years, he lived on Florida's east coast, working as a cook and waiter. Then a friend told him about Sarasota.
Georges and his wife, a nurse, live in Bradenton. She works the night shift, and their children are in school, which is why he likes a cab driver's flexible schedule.
He leases a Lincoln Town Car from Diplomat. Airport traffic can be slow, so most Sarasota drivers depend on what are called "personals." These are regular fares from regular customers who call regular drivers when they need a ride.
"That's what keeps you surviving," Georges says. "Otherwise, it's hard to make it."
Holiday schedule
Cab fare in Sarasota starts at $4.10, plus $2.15 a mile.
From the airport, it's about $25 to Longboat Key. A ride to Englewood might cost $80. Traffic is usually not an issue.
Askin Basar, a Diplomat driver from Cyprus, used to drive a cab in New York City, a whole different world.
"Oh -- Manhattan, traffic, rush hour," he says. "This, this is like paradise."
Basar lives in Lakewood Ranch, where he has regular customers who make regular trips to the Tampa airport. He took Thanksgiving off, which cost him some money.
"That's OK," he says. "Family is important."
Imes had to work, but she was off early enough to go home for a late lunch. Her husband was cooking an applewood-smoked turkey.
Imes just found out that she's pregnant, so they're already celebrating. She also thinks she'll make more tips when her belly starts bulging.
Before all the seasonal visitors arrive, local airport's taxi drivers get a few extra fares from Thanksgiving travelers
For the Diplomat Taxi Service, busy is good and busier is better, with everyone looking forward to the the busiest travel days of the year.

Comprehensive Study of Allergic Deaths in U.S. Finds Medications are Main Culprit
Associate Professor, Department of Medicine (Allergy & Immunology)
Associate Professor, Department of Microbiology & Immunology
Dr. Elina Jerschow is an Associate Professor of Medicine (Allergy and Immunology) and an attending physician for pediatric and adult allergy and immunology at Einstein/Montefiore. Her research focuses on the pathogenesis of drug allergies and hypersensitivities, with a particular emphasis on the improvement of the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in drug-related allergic conditions.
After completing a research fellowship in dermatologic immunology at the University of California San Francisco and a residency in internal medicine at Jacobi Medical Center, Dr. Jerschow completed an allergy and immunology fellowship at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 2007. During her fellowship training, she was involved in a research project on examining possible factors contributing to increasing incidence of allergic diseases. She also initiated a project on exploration of the role of innate immunity in obesity and aging by evaluating adipose tissue macrophages using flow cytometry. This project was a part of the collaborative effort between the Division of Allergy and Immunology and the Einstein Institute for Aging Research.
After completing her fellowship, Dr. Jerschow joined Merck & Co., Inc. as an associate director in the Department of Clinical Immunology. During the work at Merck, her main research focused on the evaluation of adverse drug reactions in study participants and on developing new therapeutic targets in the area of immunology.
Dr. Jerschow returned to the Einstein/Montefiore Department of Medicine in 2009 as Director of the newly established Drug Allergy/Desensitization Center. Along with providing continuous care to patients with allergies, asthma, and immune deficiencies, one of her major objectives is to develop an active research program on the pathogenesis of drug allergies and hypersensitivities, with a particular emphasis on improving diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in drug-related allergic conditions.

CINCINNATI — A Greyhound bus drove off an interstate highway in southwest Ohio early Saturday, struck a tree and a fence and flipped on its side before sliding to a stop in a cornfield, injuring 34 people.
None of the injuries was considered life-threatening, though several people were trapped and had to be extricated by firefighters and paramedics, the state highway patrol said in a statement.
The bus drove off the right side of northbound Interstate 75 about 25 miles north of Cincinnati at about 3:50 a.m., the highway patrol said.
Butler County Emergency Operations Center officials said 34 people were taken to hospitals, six by helicopters and 28 by ambulance. The injuries ranged from minor to severe, the officials said.
The bus, which left Cincinnati bound for Detroit, was carrying 51 passengers and the driver. Those passengers who were not injured and those who were treated and released from hospitals were transported back to Cincinnati, but none of them was at the bus station later Saturday morning.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the crash, and officials said it remains under investigation. The skies were clear in the region early Saturday morning, according to National Weather Service observations.
The driver, who has been with the company for almost 15 years, had been on duty for an hour and was fully rested, said Kim Plaskett, a spokeswoman for Dallas-based Greyhound Lines Inc.
The driver was among the injured, but she said she could not release the person's name or medical condition due to medical privacy laws.
Plaskett said she couldn't discuss any details of the crash or the possible cause. The company is cooperating with investigators and will talk to the driver to try to determine what happened, Plaskett said.
The bus just had its regular major annual inspection 14 days ago, Plaskett said. She said drivers also do pre-trip inspections to make sure buses are fit to travel.
Greyhound sent a crisis-response team to the site to help the customers and authorities as soon as the company was notified of the crash, she said.
A telephone hotline was set up for friends and family members seeking information about the passengers on the bus. The phone number is 800-972-4583.
